Chapter 860 The Return of Fengdu
Mingyou Zhenzun knew very well that they were experiencing the same thing as the Spirit Realm, Demon Realm, and Monster Realm. The lost territories had been successfully returned, but they had to be more cautious at times like these, because there were lessons to be learned from the past.

Although the return of the Weiyu Realm was out of necessity, the cultivators of the Weiyu Realm stabilized the situation and prevented the body of the evil god sealed in the Cloud Sea from breaking free. They even gained the upper hand in the battle against the evil cultivators, which gave them the opportunity to help the entire realm ascend.

The return of the Demon Realm's Yangxi Realm appeared to be going smoothly, but Huangfu Zhenghong, who led the entire realm to ascension, was already a puppet of evil cultivators. He even nearly infiltrated the Demon Realm's number one sect, the Heavenly Demon Palace. If Ranxi hadn't discovered him, the Heavenly Demon Palace would probably be in chaos by now.

Before the Demon Realm regained its lost territory, trouble struck. It nearly became a breeding ground for the soul threads of evil gods, resulting in the deaths of many high-level demon cultivators and leaving the Phoenix Spirit Demon King in a state of utter chaos.

Therefore, even though the territory has expanded, the two demon kings who stayed behind were very cautious. They temporarily separated the new territory from the original demon domain and only lifted the restriction after thoroughly investigating the newly returned territory.

Now it's their turn in the Ghost Realm. The territory they're returning to is a small world that follows the path of ghosts, which is an easy place for evil gods to exploit, so he must be extremely cautious.

Leaving aside the ghost cultivators who successfully dragged the entire realm up to heaven, having passed the test of the Heavenly Dao, they are at least not puppets of evil gods. But the ghost cultivators who have now returned to the Fengdu Realm are a different story. What follows is the greatest test for their ghost realm.

"Thousand Charms!"

"The disciple is here."

"Summon high-ranking cultivators from all sects and clans of the Ghost Realm to gather in front of the newly returned Fengdu Realm. The city lords of each city shall guard their cities and shall not leave their cities without cause, nor allow cultivators from other realms to cause trouble in the cities."

Qianmei, now wearing the face of a handsome man, replied respectfully:
"Yes, disciple will go and pass on the order immediately."

After saying that, he slipped away from the main hall.

After thinking for a moment, Mingyou Zhenzun sent message talismans to the other four domains. In addition to briefly explaining the changes in the Ghost Domain, he also inquired about the situation of the cultivators from various domains who came to help but disappeared in Wunian City. After all, they came to help, and they disappeared in his territory. He had to give them an explanation.

Fortunately, after those people rushed into the black hole that appeared in Wunian City, the black hole never appeared again, and no more ghost cultivators went missing. Puyang and Lizhe joined forces to also find the evil cultivators lurking in the Ghost Domain.

In particular, Li Ze followed the evil cultivators who had fled from Wunian City and captured all of their henchmen hidden at the bottom of the "Abyss of Bliss". Apart from those who resisted and were killed on the spot, he also brought back two survivors.

Only then did they realize that the black hole was a portal, its purpose being to send the ghost cultivator to the ancient battlefield to nurture the soul of the evil god. So he immediately sent a message to the big shots of the other four domains, that at least the eight missing people should not be dead, but trapped somewhere in the ancient battlefield.

However, since the captured ghost cultivators were sent to become nourishment for the evil gods, the place where the eight missing people are trapped must be extraordinary. It is very likely that they are in the territory of the evil cultivators in the ancient battlefield, and the danger there is unimaginable.

Knowing that the situation was dire and could not be concealed, True Venerable Mingyou sent a message to the sects of the eight people after understanding the exact situation, inquiring about their lives as soon as possible. Fortunately, the soul lamps of the eight people were still lit and burning brightly, which relieved True Venerable Mingyou.

To express his gratitude, the True Venerable Mingyou sent many rare and precious materials to the sects of these eight people to nourish their souls, and often inquired about the condition of their soul lamps, assuring them that as long as their soul lamps did not go out, they were still alive.

However, some time ago, the soul lamps of four individuals—Ren Tianning, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Palace; Wu Wang of the Prajna Temple; Han Baifeng of the Demon Realm; and Ran Xi of the Haoran Sect—all malfunctioned and nearly went out. Although they recovered after a while, they were not as bright as before, as if veiled by a thin layer of gauze. This caused the leaders of these sects to frown, and in the end, it was Master Bu Ku of the Buddhist Realm who discerned the clue:
"These four people must have used forbidden techniques and were locked by the heavens, which is why their soul lamps changed. It's just that they are currently in the independent space of the ancient battlefield, so the 'heavenly punishment' has not yet fallen. If they leave, they will surely be struck by lightning."

Haoran Zhenzun rubbed his temples and said:

"It seems the situation was very bad, forcing them to use forbidden techniques to save their lives. Fortunately, the outcome was good; they have escaped their predicament, and the soul lamps of the other four are stable. At least they are safe now."

Yu Tang Feng Xin also nodded and said:

“Fellow Daoist Haoran is right. As long as they are alive, that’s good. The passage to the ancient battlefield will open in less than a year. Then we will know the specific situation and we will have time to prepare. At least we should help the four of them withstand the lightning of ‘Heavenly Punishment’.”

The True Venerable of the Underworld spoke up at the opportune moment:

"As long as they safely weather the 'divine punishment,' the resources for their recovery will be provided by the Ghost Realm."

She Baihui leaned weakly against the chair and said:
“Old Ghost, you’ve finally said something sensible. They almost risked their lives for the peace of the Ghost Realm. If you don’t show any appreciation, they will lose heart. Who will be willing to help you without hesitation in the future?”

The True Venerable of the Underworld nodded in agreement:
"What Lady She said is right. I have already prepared a thank-you gift for asking the Four Domains to lend a hand this time. Moreover, with their help, the hidden dangers of the Ghost Domain have been eliminated. Now they are even in danger, so I will definitely make compensation for them."

She Baihui's words were too blunt. Mingyou did not want to offend the four domains at the same time. If he ignored it now, it would not be good for their Ghost Domain after the matter spread. Who could guarantee that the Ghost Domain would not have to ask the other four domains for help in the future? So he spoke his good words without hesitation and was prepared to pay a price.

It must be said that Mingyou Zhenzun's attitude did indeed improve the mood of the other four big shots, and each of them received a soul ring filled with good things prepared by Mingyou.

"Please keep this soul ring for them for now. After the eight of them return, I will send them more suitable resources according to their needs to help them improve their cultivation."

Since Mingyou had given them the gifts and made a promise, the four powerful figures put the matter behind them and went back to prepare to help the four of them withstand the "divine punishment".

If Ranxi and the other three knew, they would probably be secretly delighted. However, once the cultivators of the Spirit Realm understood why the four were being "punished by heaven," they would be even more willing to take the blame for them.

After receiving a stable response from the eight soul lamps, the True Venerable Mingyou breathed a sigh of relief. Once he had gathered his forces, he began to investigate the Fengdu Realm.

Ancient Battlefield Spirit Realm Frontline Base
Master Ruohuai, along with Canglou and Ranxi, have begun attempting to extract the evil insects from the bodies of the affected cultivators.

Yunxi first brought the three cultivators who had just been implanted with insect eggs into the room where Feng Xichao had been interrogated, and explained why she was starting with these three.

Master Ruohuai nodded and said:
"Alright, let's not delay, let's start with these three."
