Chapter 973: Quest Rewards
'Damn it! Those bastards! I didn't expect they would rebel and disobey my orders! They even went to the Holy Land of Sword, and I couldn't enter it because of past problems.' Jing Shen, who was standing at the stern of the flying artifact, continued to curse himself as he looked at a device in his hand, which he was using to track the whereabouts of the five immortal spirits. 'Tch! I have to think of another plan to fulfill my ambition, especially since the old woman will definitely protect them, so I can't use them anymore.'
"What are you doing?"
Hearing that, Jing Shen hurriedly put away the device before turning to Zhu Ling, and he immediately gave a false explanation. "Previously, I contacted the spirit guardians, and they are already on their way to follow us to the mysterious tower, but they will probably arrive there a month later than us. Besides, I also keep trying to track Luxuria's whereabouts because we shouldn't be far behind them, but I can't find her."
Zhu Ling nodded in understanding at Jing Shen's first explanation, but he shook his head at his second explanation. "Have you forgotten that Zhou Yu is with them now? They must be on their way to the mysterious tower through the void, and I, as the emperor, cannot penetrate the void to look for them, let alone your useless device."
"Yes." Jing Shen then asked him. "Are you really not going to sentence Ling Yun and Luxuria to death after we successfully capture them later?"
"They had to die because Luxuria had sacrificed Invidia for Ling Yun's sake, but those three prophecies kept haunting my mind, especially since it was clear that he was the man in the prophecy." Zhou Ling then looked far away. "Even though his cultivation is still too weak in my eyes, I don't dare act rashly in handling this matter, or my decision will have a negative impact on our universe. If I make the wrong decision, we will have to face the other nature races, and we will not be able to fight them all at once, especially since Xian Di and Nu Wang are slightly stronger than me because they have already broken through to this stage much earlier than me. Besides, I suspect that Lu Yi's cultivation has already reached the Three Immortal Realms, so she's much stronger than me, making my mind-reading abilities useless against her."
Jing Shen's expression changed slightly after hearing the latter name, and he almost forgot about her existence because Lu Yi had never appeared outside for so long. "I think the prophecy has nothing to do with Luxuria, especially since the second prophecy indicated the death of a mythical beast. Indeed, there are quite a few mythical beasts on Ling Yun's side now, but I think the second prophecy won't come true if we don't touch them, and the third prophecy won't come true if the second one isn't fulfilled, so I think there will be problems if we capture her and punish her. As for that guy, you can kill him directly, so he won't cause any trouble for us or this universe in the future."
"You're not wrong with that." Zhu Ling replied with a nod. "In that case, you will focus on capturing Luxuria, and I will focus on killing Ling Yun. In this manner, we will prevent the fulfillment of the three prophecies and ensure that this universe remains free from darkness."
"That's true." Even so, an evil smile appeared on Jing Shen's face. 'Hahaha! What a stupid emperor! Don't worry, the three prophecies will definitely be fulfilled, and your spirit race will be destroyed in the hands of Xian Di and the others.' "Should we speed up our flying speed? "That way, we can get there faster, especially since we will have difficulty finding them if they have entered the tower, so it would be better if we carried out our plan outside the tower."
Zhu Ling didn't reply to Jing Shen's question, but he channeled more of his qi into his flying artifact, which immediately flew faster than before.

[Quest: Killing Eight Hundred Beasts in the Saint Realm and Above]
[Time Limit: Two Weeks]
[Reward: Battle Gift Pack XII]
Five days later, Ling Yun, who was dual-cultivating with all his wives and partners, was forced to stop when the notification appeared.
Even though the system had been upgraded since they arrived in the upper realms and there were several level quest lists there, it didn't give Ling Yun any other quests besides the basic ones, and he only got a normal quest once when they arrived in the Star Cloud Realm a few months ago.
That was why Ling Yun felt bored and confused by the system, and Ling Xi herself did not give him a clear answer, asking him to wait for other quests to present themselves. Even so, he was still eager to complete it, especially since the rewards from all the quests were very high and beneficial for him.
Like ten days ago, Zhou Yu took Ling Yun to a nearby realm to complete his quest, but the three of them only went there. She and Ling Xi helped him to complete the quest as quickly as possible, especially since they would have a lot of free time after that, so he could focus on his isolation, and they could arrive at the mysterious without being too behind schedule.
Even though he had used his complete dragon form and suppressed the beasts with his chaotic dragon aura, Ling Yun still needed quite a long time to kill them all and complete the quest, especially since their numbers were too great and their strength was so high.

As night fell, Ling Yun finally succeeded in killing all the beasts, and another notification appeared in his mind.
[Ding]
[Quest: Killing Eight Hundred Beasts in the Saint Realm and Above]
[Status: Done]
[Reward: Battle Gift Pack XII x1]
Ling Yun immediately returned to his human form, stored his scythe, and drank three large Qi Restoration Liquids. "Hey, can you speed up our journey to the mysterious tower?"
"That's not necessary, right?" Zhou Yu then explained it to him. "At first, I thought we would arrive a little behind schedule, but you've finished your quest now, and we still have two weeks, so that's enough for us to arrive at the mysterious tower. Moreover, the young cultivators from the three realms won't arrive until another two and a half months, so we have plenty of time to get ahead of them. Not only that, Zhu Ling and Jing Shen are far behind us now, so we can still avoid them for some time."
"I don't think about those people." Ling Yun responded by shaking his head. "Yueling told me there was a powerful beast related to darkness sealed in a realm not far from the mysterious tower, so I wanted to go to that realm, and I would make it a familiar dark element for my dark element."
"I see." Zhou Yu nodded in understanding. "I've heard of that realm, but I've never set foot in that realm. There's only darkness there, which is probably caused by the darkness beasts sealed in that realm, so I don't have any interest in that realm. If you want to go there, then I will take you there as soon as possible, especially since that place is only three days' journey from the mysterious tower."
"In that case, let's go back to the Icarus now, and we'll go straight there." Ling Yun nodded to Ling Xi, and Zhou Yu immediately took them back there before continuing their journey again.

When they arrived there, Ling Yun immediately returned to his room, but he suddenly remembered that he hadn't opened the four rewards yet, so he immediately opened them all at once.
[You Obtained Teleportation Stone Ring x1.]
[You obtained Divine Battle Puppet x1.]
[You obtained Nameless Book x1.]
[You obtained Half Part of Divine Map x1.]
"Hmm?" Ling Yun momentarily raised his eyebrows and read their description directly.
[Teleportation Stone Ring: A spiritual object of heaven and earth, it enables the user to teleport within a radius of three hundred miles, albeit limited to one hundred uses per day. Passive Effect: Doubles the user's speed.]
[Divine Battle Puppet: Designed specifically to aid its master in battle, this puppet requires a significant amount of profound stones for activation. The number of profound stones used determines the duration, and its power will increase depending on the number of profound stones used to activate it. Besides, the user can also insert a thread of his consciousness into it, making it more controllable.]
[Nameless Book: This book was written by a nameless cultivator in the past, and it can help its master by increasing the attack power of each technique.]
[Half-Part of Divine Map: The function of this map is still unknown, and the owner must find the other half to find out its true function.]
After that, Ling Yun immediately dripped his blood onto the teleportation stone ring before wearing it on his other ring finger, and he also did the same to the nameless book, which immediately entered his consciousness and hovered there. He decided to keep the divine battle puppet and half of the divine map first, and he once again entered into seclusion.
