"Hopefully, that Devil Race died inside the ruins."
Shen Long muttered to himself.
He couldn't understand why the True Monarch Seven Stars didn't annihilate the Devil Race cultivators, but instead imprisoned them. Why didn't the True Monarch Seven Stars send descendants from the Green Plum Realm to handle this matter? If all else failed, he could have notified the cultivators of the Gan Yang Realm to resolve it!
The True Monarch Seven Stars had a backup plan to prevent Devil Race cultivators from harming the human world. If he didn't want Devil Race cultivators to harm the Devil Race world, he shouldn't have imprisoned them.
Besides, what treasure did Cai Lei steal? What is the strength of the Big Dipper Pavilion in the Lingxu Realm of the Green Lotus Continent Realm? How was Cai Lei Cai Lei to steal the treasure? Why didn't the Big Dipper Pavilion send people down to the Lower Realm to continue searching for the stolen treasure?
These are all mysteries! Due to the short time constraints, the True Monarch Seven Stars had no time to tell Shen Long, or rather, he had no intention of telling Shen Long at all.
As long as that Devil Race cultivator died in the ruins, Shen Long didn't need to know.
"The Nine-Headed Ghost Dove's Spirit Bird was most likely brought down from the Lingxu Realm by Cai Lei, but we don't know where he obtained it from."
Shen Long guessed, and then he transformed into a Escape Light and left.

Ten Thousand Flower Island, the General Headquarters of the Flower-Moving Palace.
A loud bell rang out, its sound echoing throughout the entire Ten Thousand Flower Island.
A secret chamber, its stone walls inscribed with numerous mysterious array patterns, emanating a strong aura of restriction.
A beautiful woman in a golden dress sat cross-legged on a Cyan Jade Bed, holding Communication Disk that shimmered with blue light in her hand, her face gloomy.
"What? Junior Sister Ye and the others' Life Soul Lamp have all gone out? What happened? Where did they go? How did they perish?"
The woman in the golden dress asked, her voice heavy.
Lin Yuan, Palace Master of the Flower-Moving Palace, Nascent Soul Late Stage.
The Flower-Moving Palace is one of the eight major forces in the North Sea Cultivation World, with countless experts. The sudden loss of five Nascent Soul Cultivator is a heavy blow.
"I don't know. Aunt Ye's Life Soul Lamp went out first, and then the Life Soul Lamp of Uncle Lin and the other three went out one after another."
A respectful male voice rang out.
"Immediately send people to investigate the cause of their deaths. Junior Sister Ye possessed a complete set of defensive Spirit Treasure, the Four Symbols Beads. The enemy who could kill her was no ordinary person. Issue the order to activate part of the Sect Protection Array's restrictions, send more people, and strengthen vigilance."
Lin Yuan gave the instructions.
"Yes, Palace Master."
The man agreed.
······
In a vast expanse of blue sea, Desolate Island, roughly a hundred miles in size.
In a secluded underground cave, the True Monarch Golden Crow sat cross-legged on the ground, his body covered in blood, his aura weak, and his bones visible.
Ye Lian and her five Nascent Soul Cultivator entered the ruins to search for treasures. While they were fighting fiercely with Demon Beast, True Monarch Golden Crow launched a sneak attack, killing Ye Lian and then eliminating the remaining four Nascent Soul Cultivator. They obtained several Spirit Treasure, including a set of defensive Spirit Treasure Four Symbols Beads.
The ruins destroyed themselves, but he survived thanks to a complete set of defensive Spirit Treasure.
"Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. Hmph, you certainly wouldn't have imagined that Nascent Soul Cultivator would possess a complete set of defensive Spirit Treasure! True Monarch Seven Stars! You despicable man, you dared to deceive me. I, Tai Shi Jin, swear I will not rest until I avenge this."
As True Monarch Golden Crow finished speaking, his face was filled with murderous intent.
Tai Shi Jin is his true identity; he possessed the body of the True Monarch Golden Crow.
······
Golden Flood Dragon Marketplace was bustling with people.
A streak of Red Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, then stopped in a flash, revealing Shen Long's figure.
He entered the Marketplace and returned to the Golden Cicada Pavilion.
Shen Long entered a Cultivation Room, sat cross-legged on a Red Prayer Mat, and took out a silver Jade Slip and a Cyan Jade Slip.
His Divine Sense immersed itself in the silver Jade Slip to examine its contents.
Not long after, he withdrew his Divine Sense, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Tai Shi Jin, Devil Race from the Yin Devil Realm."
Shen Long spoke to himself.
The Devil Race cultivator imprisoned there is named Tai Shi Jin. He comes from the Yin Devil Realm, which belongs to the Yin Devil Realm Heavenly Demon Realm. The Heavenly Demon Realm and the Lingxu Realm are parallel realms, belonging to the middle realm. The Yin Devil Realm, Green Plum Realm, Gan Yang Realm, and Heaven Origin Realm are all parallel realms, belonging to the lower realm.
According to the Jade Slip slip, the Lingxu Realm has tens of thousands of subordinate realms, with the Gan Yang Realm being just one of them. The Yin Devil Realm and tens of thousands of other realms belong to the Heavenly Demon Realm, each with its own jurisdiction.
The Jade Slip introduced Tai Shi Jin's Divine Ability and origins, and also mentioned the location of the Interface Passage opened by Cai Lei.
Why did Cai Lei open a Interface Passage to the Yin Devil Realm? Was he going to offer that item to the Devil Race? Or was he trying to gain their protection?
Shen Long muttered to himself, his face full of confusion.
The Jade Slip didn't mention this point, but focused on introducing the situation of several lower-level interfaces. There are some Spatial Node in the Gan Yang Realm that lead to other interfaces, which are recorded in the Jade Slip.
True Monarch Seven Stars comes from the Liu Clan of the Green Plum Realm, Liu Clan wields considerable power in the Green Plum Realm.
The Jade Slip also recorded some information about the Gan Yang Realm. Based on this information, it can be inferred that the True Monarch Seven Stars Lower Realm mortal realm more than 10,000 years ago. This also makes sense, Soul-Nourishing Wood, the Spirit Eye Tree, and the Heaven Soul Ghost Lotus are all over 10,000 years old. They were cultivated before the True Monarch Seven Stars left.
Judging from the words of the True Monarch Seven Stars, he wanted the Liu Clan family members from the Green Plum Realm to come and resolve this matter in the Gan Yang Realm. As for why the Liu Clan family members did not come, that is unclear.
Shen Long's gaze fell on the Cyan Jade Slip. This Jade Slip contained the <Heavenly Demon True Scripture>, which was dictated by the True Monarch Seven Stars and recorded by Shen Long.
According to the True Monarch Seven Stars, the Heavenly Demon True Scripture has twelve levels, and the True Monarch Seven Stars taught Shen Long the cultivation methods for the first three levels.
"It actually requires the Essence Blood of Fifth Rank Monster Ape to aid in cultivation! The Monster Ape must possess the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape. This condition is far too demanding!"
Shen Long frowned and said.
The Spirit Control Sect's signature Cultivation Method, the Heavenly Ape Transformation, also requires the Essence Blood of Monster Ape. The First Floor only requires the Essence Blood of a first-tier Monster Ape, without any requirements regarding the Monster Ape's bloodline.
The first three levels of the <Heavenly Demon True Scripture> require the Essence Blood of Fifth Rank Monster Ape with the bloodline of the Mountain Giant Ape to assist in cultivation, making the cultivation conditions extremely demanding. However, the Divine Ability Cultivation Method are indeed very strong. Successfully cultivating the First Floor allows one to withstand Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure with one's physical strength, and it also comes with several secret techniques.
"Upon mastering this cultivation, one can command hundreds of demons."
Shen Long gasped. If he could cultivate the Heavenly Demon True Scripture to the Twelfth Floor, he would be able to command hundreds of demons.
Shen Long put away the two Jade Slip, entered the Ten Thousand Beast Tower, and arrived at the second floor.
The second floor had a large number of Spirit Plant, most of which he found in the ruins.
Shen Long arrived in front of a giant, red bamboo that seemed to reach the sky. The bamboo had some mysterious patterns on its surface, which resembled a ball of flame.
"Ten Thousand Year Separation Fire Bamboo!"
Shen Long's face lit up with joy.
He found this Separation Fire Bamboo at the ruins; it's perfectly capable of refining Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure.
A loud roar rang out, a ball of crimson flame lit up, and the Fire Qilin Beast appeared.
Shen Long took out a red Demon Core and fed it to the Fire Qilin Beast, ordering it not to destroy these Spirit Plant.
The Fire Qilin Beast naturally obeyed Shen Long's orders. It usually stayed near a Volcano pool and would not damage the Spirit Plant when it came out.
Shen Long regularly enters the Ten Thousand Beast Tower to feed the Fire Qilin Beast and the others.
He arrived at the third level and appeared in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. Inside the valley was the Spirit Eye Tree Spirit Eye Tree, which continuously released Spiritual Qi, gradually increasing the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the area.
A burst of blue light appeared beside Shen Long, and the Tree Man materialized.
"Look carefully for this Spirit Eye Tree; it can make the Spiritual Qi here even more abundant."
Shen Long gave the order.
"Yes, Master."
The Tree Man readily agreed.
