My Divine Diary
chapter-464

High in the sky, Su Hao showed great interest, flying even higher, trailing behind the three.

“I’m really curious, what are they up to?”

Su Hao had gained a “tag along” attribute at some point. Before obtaining the “perception” rune, he never thought he liked secretly following others.

So, is a person’s character really related to their abilities?

This is hard to say. However, Su Hao wouldn’t admit that he enjoyed trailing behind because of his large perception range.

In the years since he gained spiritual perception, he had been very restrained and refrained from using spiritual perception to spy on others. After all, there was nothing interesting to see.

Now following the three leaders, he was just curious about what those three planned to do by capturing this monster.

If Su Hao went down and asked, and the other party was willing to communicate well, why would Su Hao bother?

Following the three for a whole day in the Lingsha Continent, they finally flew into a place surrounded by mountains, where a palace emerged in the morning mist, resembling an immortal’s abode.

Su Hao didn’t descend but stayed in the air, carefully probing the actions of the three with his spiritual perception.

The three leaders stopped outside the palace. Just as Immortal Master was about to step into the palace, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he closed his eyes to sense carefully, but found nothing.

After Immortal Master opened his eyes, Lin Mei curiously asked, “What’s wrong, Immortal Master?”

Immortal Master shook his head slowly. Ever since he approached the monster, he felt something strange in his spiritual perception, but no matter how he probed, he found nothing. Finally, he focused his gaze on the monster on Lichi’s shoulder.

Immortal Master didn’t speak and slowly walked into the palace.

…

Su Hao’s spiritual perception slowly penetrated into the entire palace, delving into the underground scenes, but they were obscured by a formation that suppressed spiritual perception, making it impossible to see the specific scenes clearly. Moreover, if one didn’t carefully probe, it would be easy to overlook this place.

Su Hao thought to himself, “This Unity Realm cultivator must have extremely high attainments in formations to design such a clever formation that blocks spiritual perception. I can’t detect the specific situation with spiritual perception alone; I’ll need to find another method.”

After some thought, Su Hao confirmed a plan: to deploy super-small summoning beasts.

In the past five years, Su Hao had used genetic technology to create many “scouting summoning beasts” scattered around the Starry Bay to investigate various situations to prevent oversights in spiritual perception.

Now, they could be used as Su Hao’s eyes to investigate the intelligence inside the palace.

As for whether Immortal Master would discover them or not, Su Hao wasn’t too worried. The spiritual perception of cultivators was very sensitive to spiritual power, but not so much to ordinary small animals without spiritual power. Su Hao even sensed that there were many snakes and rodents hidden in the palace through bloodline perception.

In other words, the other party wouldn’t specifically dig up the ground and pick out all the small animals to kill them. Even if Su Hao’s summoning beasts were discovered and disposed of, it wouldn’t matter. He could just release a few more.

His scouting summoning beasts were numerous.

After confirming the plan, Su Hao extended his hand, and a small blue platform emerged. Then, one after another, summoning beasts such as mice, frogs, and small snakes appeared out of thin air.

Su Hao locked onto the formation below and sent all these scouting summoning beasts into it.

As for where exactly they were sent, Su Hao couldn’t control that. It would depend on luck.

With a thought, a screen appeared one meter in front of him, divided into many squares, each displaying scenes seen by the summoning beasts.

Most of the deployed scouting summoning beasts were sent indoors, with some directly embedded into the stone walls and instantly scrapped.

Su Hao controlled some small animals to hide in corners, while another part began to roam indoors.

Before long, Su Hao witnessed a scene that astonished him. In a sealed room, he saw neatly arranged bodies, bound by purple chains, lying quietly on stone platforms.

It looked like Su Hao’s laboratory, except Su Hao’s bodies were directly immersed in preservative fluid.

It seemed that this Unity Realm cultivator was akin to Su Hao.

Soon, Su Hao noticed something unusual about these “bodies”: “No, these people aren’t dead; they’re still breathing faintly!”

Then Su Hao locked onto the purple chains on these people. Weren’t these the same chains used to bind the monster? How could such chains make even powerful monsters fall into a coma? What was the principle behind it?

Using spells or artifacts to induce unconsciousness was something Su Hao could do, but doing it himself was one thing; how others did it was another. He was simply curious about how others did it.

“Boom, crackle~”

At this moment, the stone door was pushed open. Immortal Master walked in first, followed by Lin Mei and Lichi carrying the monster. Su Hao immediately controlled the small mouse to hide in a corner.

Lin Mei flicked her finger.

“Snap!”

Su Hao’s mouse instantly burst into a pile of flesh. Lin Mei immediately wrinkled her nose and said, “Disgusting!”

Immortal Master and Lichi ignored it and went straight to the stone platform.

“Thud!”

Lichi threw the monster on the stone platform, emitting a dull sound, but the monster showed no signs of awakening.

Lin Mei asked, “Immortal Master, are we starting?”

Immortal Master said, “Not yet! We’ve waited for so many years; there’s no rush!”

After a moment of contemplation, Immortal Master turned and left. “Let’s go!”

Lin Mei and Lichi followed suit, and the stone door slowly closed.

In the sky, Su Hao chuckled, “Quite cautious! I’ll go down and take a look first.”

Su Hao reached out, and a set of artifacts appeared in midair. After activation, they were positioned based on the scouting summoning beasts and teleported into the secret room, where Su Hao then set up a formation to isolate spiritual perception probing.

That’s a formation within a formation.

After waiting for a moment without finding anything unusual, Su Hao teleported into the secret room.

Arriving here in person, Su Hao finally learned the cultivation levels of the people lying unconscious on the stone platform.

“There are a total of fifty-eight people, all of them Unity Realm cultivators!”

To Su Hao’s surprise, even though his heart had long been cultivated to be extremely strong, this discovery still slightly astonished him.

Who were these three Fusion Realm cultivators, and where did they get so many of them?

He recalled what Yashan had said before, about frequent news of Unity Realm cultivators fighting over the years, all of which ended up being attributed to the “Crystal Thief,” who was said to have killed them!

This made the reputation of the Crystal Thief even more prominent, almost reaching the point where everyone in the cultivation world knew about it.

“So these guys planted evidence on me! Hey, I’ve found out!”

Su Hao didn’t care about that too much. He reached out and took out a positioning stone, which he inserted into the ground, then activated his Diamond Armor Technique, smoothing out the traces.

Then, he cautiously approached these unfortunate Unity Realm cultivators.

“What exactly are these purple chains on top?”

Su Hao casually grabbed a cat-like spirit beast and threw it at the purple chains on the unconscious Unity Realm cultivators.

Just two seconds later, the spirit beast collapsed limp.

Su Hao entered the Pinball Space and investigated the abnormalities in the body of the spirit beast. After a moment, he came out and felt slightly surprised, “Brain dead? No, the brainstem function is still there!”

The purple chains emitted a special fluctuation, guiding spiritual energy to cause a chain reaction, disrupting the balance of biological nerves from the inside, causing irreversible damage to the cerebral cortex, completely depriving them of consciousness.

“This may have the same principle as the ‘Soul Extinguishing Technique,’ but this chain reaction is different from completely destroying spiritual energy like the Soul Extinguishing Technique; it just causes spiritual energy to go out of control and then backlashes against biological nerves!”

Su Hao confirmed that these few Fusion Realm cultivators must have extremely high research on spiritual energy, perhaps no less than him. These were the people truly standing at the pinnacle of this world.

“Perhaps I can have a conversation with this person!”

There are no eternal enemies, as long as there are common goals, anything is possible!

However, before the “conversation,” Su Hao still needed to make some confirmations!

Su Hao summoned another dog-like spirit beast, then activated “Fragile Defense” and threw it onto the purple chains.

Now, Su Hao’s “Fragile Defense” had also been updated to include defense against various types of wave radiation. Whether it would be effective against the purple chains still needed to be tested.

After waiting for a moment, Su Hao smiled, “It can hold up! Although it’s fragile, it still has some effect.”

“In that case, I won’t be polite!”

Su Hao immediately equipped the Fragile Defense, and without hesitation, he recorded all the body information of the Unity Realm cultivators into the Pinball Space.

This was called “Shared Fusion!”
