In the sky, a purple light streaked by.
Su Tong stood on the back of the Lei Jing Beast, currently hurrying towards the spatial channel. That was the only channel connecting the Northern Territory to the other territories.
However, it had been several decades since a powerful cultivator from the Northern Territory had passed through that spatial channel and left the Northern Territory.
Su Tong held his hands behind his back as he looked at the scenery around him. This was still his first time carefully observing this Northern Territory.
"A year's time passes so quickly!"
It had already been a month since he transmigrated to this continent.
The ancient god language on this continent astonished Su Tong. If not for this, after transmigrating here without the system from his original world, Su Tong really wouldn't have known what to do.
But now, Su Tong was already standing at the peak of the Northern Territory.
And what welcomed him was an even more expansive stage.
"Activating the spatial channel once requires one million spirit stones. It really isn't something ordinary people can pass through!"
Su Tong looked at the spatial channel before him.
Earlier, Luo Zi Yin had told him that passing through this spatial channel required one million spirit stones.
Without hesitation, Su Tong took out one million spirit stones from his spatial bag and waved his hand to drop them into the spatial channel.
As the spirit stones fell in, spiritual energy also began faintly surging within the spatial channel.
"Such overbearing spatial spirit energy!"
Even outside the spatial channel, Su Tong could sense the spatial spirit energy within it.
A while later, the spatial channel opened up, revealing a boat inside.
"So this is the spatial boat?"
Su Tong had heard Luo Zi Yin mention it before.
Without any hesitation, Su Tong brought the Lei Jing Beast with him onto the boat.
The boat was not big, but also not small, looking like it could hold around ten people.
With just Su Tong and the Lei Jing Beast on board, once they got on the spatial boat, it activated.
As the spatial boat moved, the spatial channel behind Su Tong also slowly closed up.
Then, Su Tong stood on the boat as it automatically sailed, heading towards the other side.
This spatial channel was filled with spatial spirit energy everywhere.
However, Su Tong had no way to absorb it. After all, if he absorbed the spatial spirit energy here, he might end up stuck in this place forever.
"When I first arrived in this world, it was also on a huge ship. It felt somewhat bizarre at that time!"
Su Tong muttered to himself, but it also seemed like he was speaking to the Lei Jing Beast beside him.
However, he didn't get a response.
Although this Lei Jing Beast had some intelligence, it wasn't high, like a child, simply able to understand some things while not comprehending others.
Therefore, Su Tong's words now exceeded its comprehension, so the Lei Jing Beast didn't speak.
This spatial channel led to the Central Territory.
Su Tong had no interest at all in the other three territories.
Although the other three territories were not weak, at least without the formation shackles, they had also given rise to quite a few cultivators at the Spiritual Void Realm.
But compared to the Central Territory brimming with talents, they couldn't amount to much.
It was said that the average cultivation level in the Central Territory was extremely high.
One could say Spiritual Voids were everywhere, and Returning Voids were as common as dogs.
Because just the Central Territory alone was larger than the other four territories combined by several times.
On top of that, the Central Territory contained all kinds of heavenly treasures and abundant resources.
There were even many ancient remnants and tombs, and those with the fortune could obtain powerful cultivation techniques, mystic arts, and treasures from within.
At the very least, one could still get all kinds of pills and treasures.
These things resulted in the Central Territory's overall strength being greater than the other four territories by who knew how many times.
Of course, when cultivators from the other four territories reached bottlenecks after entering the Spiritual Void Realm, they would also come to the Central Territory to seek opportunities.
This spatial channel seemed a bit long.
Su Tong estimated it would take at least half a month to get through it.
Half a month in a cultivating state would pass in the blink of an eye.
But within the spatial channel, there was no other spiritual energy, only the spatial spirit force used to maintain the channel.
So these days felt rather dull.
Of course, the lack of absorbable spirit energy didn't mean Su Tong couldn't cultivate.
He still had over ten thousand Hidden Spirit Pellets and millions of spirit stones in his spatial bag.
"Let me try these Hidden Spirit Pellets!"
Su Tong thought and took out a Hidden Spirit Pellet.
It was a pure white bead.
Although called a Hidden Spirit Pellet, it wasn't truly a medicinal pellet.
There were two ways to obtain Hidden Spirit Pellets. One was for cultivators at the Returning Void Realm to compress the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy into a Hidden Spirit Pellet.
Of course, this required expending considerable effort. A cultivator at the Returning Void Realm would need at least two months to condense a single one.
Unless they needed to buy some pills, cultivation techniques, mystic arts, or treasures, few Returning Void Realm cultivators would spend time condensing them.
The other way was using spirit stones to condense the Hidden Spirit Pellets.
Cultivators at the Spiritual Void Realm could condense the spiritual energy within spirit stones into Hidden Spirit Pellets, similar to using heaven and earth spiritual energy.
Only this method was much faster.
But it did waste more spirit stones. Only those top sects would use spirit stones to condense Hidden Spirit Pellets.
Moreover, those weren't used to purchase cultivation techniques and arts, but rather provided for disciples to cultivate and absorb.
Hidden Spirit Pellets were much better for absorption compared to spirit stones.
And the Hidden Spirit Pellets Su Tong had were all collected from the Hidden Spirit Sect, so they were surely condensed using the latter method.
After all, a wealthy sect like the Hidden Spirit Sect could afford enough spirit stones to condense Hidden Spirit Pellets to provide for disciples to cultivate.
Su Tong placed a Hidden Spirit Pellet in his mouth.
Closing his eyes, he could feel the Hidden Spirit Pellet dissolving, strands of spiritual energy rippling out.
"As expected of pellets made for disciples to cultivate, the spiritual energy contained in these Hidden Spirit Pellets doesn't even need refinement, it's already extremely pure!"
After sensing how pure the spiritual energy contained within the Hidden Spirit Pellet was, Su Tong relaxed and started cultivating.
"Refine!"
But Su Tong didn't get careless just because the spiritual energy in the Hidden Spirit Pellet was refined.
He still used the ancient god language to refine it.
And this refinement lasted half a month.
Fortunately, Su Tong had quite a lot of Hidden Spirit Pellets, and the spiritual energy contained in one pellet was sufficiently enormous.
So the spiritual energy contained was enough to squander for half a month.
"Hm? Seems I'm about to break through!"
Su Tong had originally just been refining the Hidden Spirit Pellets to pass time.
He didn't expect that as he cultivated, he was actually on the verge of breaking through.
Su Tong was already at the peak of the Returning Void Realm.
He felt that he only needed seven days absorbing spiritual energy using the ancient god language to break through to the Spiritual Void Realm.
He didn't expect that just slowly using the Hidden Spirit Pellets, he would now reach a breakthrough.
At this moment, the spiritual energy in Su Tong's body began to surge violently. This was the sign of breaking from the peak of the Returning Void Realm into the Spiritual Void Realm.
And there was a bottleneck within, requiring massive spiritual power to impact through.
Normally, cultivators at this point would use Hidden Spirit Pellets to make the breakthrough attempt.
But Su Tong didn't need to.
Because his own spiritual power was already strong enough.
"Breakthrough!"
With a low roar, a profound power formed within Su Tong's body!

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
