"This Void Stone actually opened up four spaces; treasures from the Overseas World are indeed mystical," Yuan Ming thought to himself.

The first space was the plaza where they had first entered the cave mansion, which was relatively the smallest in area.

The second space was where Yin Capital City was located, spanning a hundred miles in size, much larger than the plaza in the first space.

The third space housed the Black Tower and was the largest of them all, dwarfing the Yin Capital City space. It contained the Cold Martial Realm, the Extreme Fire Realm, and the Netherworld.

However, aside from the three regions such as the Cold Martial Realm, there was also a mysterious place draped in unpredictable white fog that even the exploration prohibitions within the Shura Palace could not sense.

The fourth space wasn't large, being at most two to three miles in circumference. Like the third space, it too was shrouded in a dense mist, appearing greenish and equally unclear about its insides.

Yuan Ming's brow raised, and he activated the spatial movement restriction. He and Xi Ying disappeared into thin air, and the next moment, they appeared within the white fogged area.

A powerful Illusion Power assaulted them, and before Yuan Ming could stabilize his stance, his Sea of Consciousness buzzed, and countless illusions emerged before his eyes, his consciousness quickly sinking into oblivion.

Xi Ying's situation was the same, unable to resist the erosion of the white fog's Illusion Power, her gaze rapidly turning dazed.

Fortunately, Yuan Ming had anticipated this and bit his tongue without hesitation before his consciousness fully succumbed, his spirit slightly vibrating.

Taking advantage of this brief clarity, he immediately pulled Xi Ying, and the two of them vanished without a trace, with the Stealing Heaven Tripod left floating where they had stood.

Entering the space within the Stealing Heaven Tripod, the Illusion Power from outside was instantly blocked, and both quickly regained consciousness.

"What formidable Illusion Power!" Xi Ying exclaimed in shock.

Although she was a Soul Cultivator and not specialized in Illusion Techniques, her Illusion Technique was still quite powerful. She could not withstand the erosion of the white fog, which had never happened even when facing the Six Desires Venerable before.

"I have a rough idea of what's inside the white fog," said Yuan Ming thoughtfully before waving his hand and casting a spell to activate the spatial restriction.

A flash of golden light on the surface of the Stealing Heaven Tripod, and it vanished from within the white fog, relocating to the edge of the white fog space.

The nearby void fluctuated, and the Three-eyed Crow materialized.

The crow was thrilled upon sensing the Illusion Power contained within the white fog; its third eye revealed a look of surprise as it quickly absorbed the demonic power and prayed to the Nether Moon God.

Yuan Ming utilized the crow's Desire Power as an anchor point and extended his Divine Sense into the depths of the white fog.

The Illusion Power within the fog tried to erode along his Divine Sense but was completely blocked by the Stealing Heaven Tripod.

A slight relief in Yuan Ming's heart, he continued to push his Divine Sense deeper, soon reaching the very depths of the white fog.

A bright white spirit light floated there, and at the heart of the light was a white rune, exceedingly complex, rivalling even the "Curse" rune, emitting dreamlike and endlessly changing white spirit light.

"It really is it," Yuan Ming's eyes gleamed with delight.

While he had never seen this white rune before, he recognized at a glance that it was the "All Living Beings' Dream" rune, previously mentioned by the Shura Master.

This rune was indeed formidable; even Xi Ying, the Sleeping Witch, couldn't resist it.

Yuan Ming pondered briefly before once again activating the Shura Palace's spatial restriction, and with a flash, the Stealing Heaven Tripod appeared near the "All Living Beings' Dream" rune.

The next moment, Yuan Ming appeared beside the "All Living Beings' Dream" rune, an overwhelmingly strong Illusion Power washing over him.

Almost simultaneously, a black shadow passed in front of Yuan Ming, and the Night Parade of Hundred Demons emerged from nowhere, shielding against this power.

Within the Night Parade of Hundred Demons, several Ghost Slaves became expressionless, lost in illusion.

Seizing the moment, Yuan Ming urged the Night Parade of Hundred Demons, a black light enveloping the "All Living Beings' Dream" rune, and with a 'swoosh', brought it into the space of the Night Parade of Hundred Demons.

As the "All Living Beings' Dream" rune was taken away, the omnipresent Illusion Power within the white fog area vanished without a trace, and the white mist also dissipated as quickly as clouds parting after a storm.

"So this is the 'All Living Beings' Dream' rune obtained by the Shura Master, a truly powerful rune. This thing seems to contain the ultimate essence of the art of illusion; you're lucky to have it and should take the chance to hone your skills," Xi Ying said as she appeared beside Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming nodded. His Dream Butterfly Illusion Technique had not progressed for a long time. When he had seen the "All Living Beings' Dream" rune just now, he had contemplated using it to practice his Illusion Technique.

Moreover, the Three-eyed Crow's Illusion-breaking Demon Eyes could absorb Illusion Power and refine its eyesight. The "All Living Beings' Dream" rune had an endless power of Illusion; it could also enhance the potency of the Illusion-breaking Demon Eyes.

Yuan Ming summoned the Shura Stone Tablet and gestured in the air.

The two disappeared once again and appeared inside the fourth space created by the Void Stone, the only place Yuan Ming had not yet fully explored.

A rich green fog surged towards them, which was actually Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy condensed to the extreme. With a single breath, Yuan Ming felt a slight increase in his internal Mana.

"Such rich Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy; this must be the Medicine Garden that the Shura Master cultivated," suggested Xi Ying.

Yuan Ming had also come to this conclusion and flew forward.

A resilient force radiated from within the green fog, seemingly a protective barrier that stopped them in their tracks. Their Divine Senses were also held back, only probing a few feet into the fog.

Yuan Ming took out the Thunder God Hammer, and a thick bolt of lightning struck deep into the green fog.

Xi Ying also unleashed the Golden Dragon Scissors, with two golden Flood Dragons crisscrossing and slashing into the green fog.

Though the barrier within the green mist was robust, it was no match for the Thunder God Hammer and the Golden Dragon Scissors. A tearing sound echoed as the forbidden barrier was breached with a single strike, and the Divine Senses of Yuan Ming and Xi Ying spread into it.

A wail came from ahead as a shadowy figure flickered within the green mist, fleeing into the distance.

"Where do you think you're going!" Yuan Ming shouted lowly, flipping his hand to draw the Soul Destroying Sword.

A force of Curse Power burst forth, striking the fleeing shadow.

The shadow turned into a solid form, surprisingly a child around three feet tall, looking about seven or eight years old, with soft and fair arms and legs, two goat horn braids atop the head, dressed in a multicolored garment, appearing incredibly adorable.

Although this individual seemed but a young child, their strength was extraordinarily formidable, in no way inferior to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and yet the aura emitted was that of demonic power.

The child in the colorful garment was now in agony, with its vitality greatly diminished.

The figure of Hong Ling appeared beside Yuan Ming, and with a flick and a pull of her ten fingers, the Binding Immortal Spider Web shot out, enveloping the body of the child in the multicolored garment as if capturing a large fish.

The child glared furiously at Yuan Ming and Hong Ling. A flash of golden light crossed the child's body, and it vanished from within the Binding Immortal Spider Web.

"Golden Escape Technique! This person could actually discern that the weakness of the Binding Immortal Spider Web was the Golden Escape!" Hong Ling was taken aback.

Hong Ling had the constitution of three spirit roots but had later refined a foreign object, and a fourth type of Mana had emerged within her body. Within the Five Elements, only the Gold Attribute Mana was missing.

The Binding Immortal Spider Web contained the power of the Five Elements—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—and could bind all cultivators with the Five Elements Spirit Root, yet due to Hong Ling's lack of Gold Attribute Mana, the web had limited effect on attacks of the Gold Attribute.

Hong Ling had always tried her best to keep this a secret, yet the child in the multicolored garment saw through it at first glance and was even adept at the rarely seen Golden Escape Technique, which was truly astonishing.

At that moment, Xi Ying made a move, with the Golden Dragon Scissors shooting out like lightning, slashing at the void not too far away.

A myriad of golden lights erupted from the Golden Dragon Scissors, forcing a figure out of the void, and it was indeed the child in the multicolored garment.

The child's little face showed surprise. With a delicate raise of its hand, five beams of gold, green, blue, red, and yellow light shot out, striking the Golden Dragon Scissors.

Each beam of spirit light contained an astounding level of Spiritual Power, one more astonishing than the next; the Golden Dragon Scissors let out a loud noise, being knocked away.

The child in the multicolored garment was also repelled a few steps by the rebound force of the Golden Dragon Scissors, turning into a golden shadow and dashing towards the depths of the green mist.

Not getting far, the child suddenly saw a blurry vision, returning to its original place as the Golden Dragon Scissors thunderously descended again.

With a look of shock, the child once again emitted the five-colored light to repel it, continuing towards the depths of the green mist; however, its vision blurred yet again, returning to its original spot as two golden flood dragons intertwined and descended in a slash.

"What's going on?" The child in the colorful garment's expression turned completely dark.

The Golden Dragon Scissors paid no heed and swept forward with the might to cleave through the void.

Within the green mist, the child in the colorful garment had a look of alarm on its face. Its hands flailed ceaselessly, firing beams of five-colored light outward, but striking nothing, clearly falling completely into an illusion.

Yuan Ming secretly marveled at the sight. Xi Ying's Illusion Technique was indeed extraordinary, subduing the child in the colorful garment with mere ease.

At this point, he had not entered the Stealing Heaven Tripod Space and could not see soul threads, but Xi Ying must have used that ability to trap the child in the illusion.

Xi Ying's figure flashed, appearing behind the child in the colorful garment, and tapped on the back of the child's head.

The child's body stiffened and fell forward to the ground, only to be swept up by Xi Ying's flick of a sleeve.

"Not killing this demon?" Yuan Ming inquired.

"This demon is no ordinary creature, it must not be killed. I will explain more later. Let's first check the situation with the Medicine Garden," Xi Ying said, looking forward.

With the capture of the child in the colorful garment, the green fog dispersed, revealing a large Medicine Garden within the view of the two.

"It is indeed a Medicine Garden!" Yuan Ming's eyes lit up with joy.

Having existed for three thousand years, if this Shura Palace's Medicine Garden was well preserved, wouldn't it mean there were numerous thousand-year-old spiritual grasses, an incalculable fortune!

He quickened his pace, stepping into the Medicine Garden.

The entire Medicine Garden was divided into dozens of areas, with no less than a hundred kinds of spirit grass planted. Yuan Ming examined them carefully, his joyful expression slowly fading away.

All the spirit grasses in the Medicine Garden were thriving, but they were only four or five hundred years old. Not a single thousand-year-old spirit grass could be found, let alone those of three thousand years.

"How can this be? Could it have been that child in the colorful garment who's responsible?" Yuan Ming considered a possibility.

"Correct, the older spirit grasses have all been devoured by that child," said Xi Ying, her expression still calm.

"Xi Ying, it seems you had already guessed the state of the Medicine Garden. Do you know the origin of that child in the colorful garment?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Hmm, that child in the colorful garment should be a sentient being transformed from the Five Elements Creation Tree," Xi Ying nodded and said.

"The Five Elements Creation Tree... What is that? The name does sound quite intimidating," Yuan Ming said with a somber tone, murmuring.

He had previously looked forward to reaping a Medicine Garden filled with thousand-year spiritual grasses, only to find that an inner demon had devoured them all, leaving no one pleased.
