Cultivation Pet Shop

Lin Fan didn't notice this as he had been staring at the mark on the blade the entire time.

This was a mark that was like a lotus that was imprinted on the guard of the blade.

As he stared at this mark, even though there was no residual life energy in it, he could feel a unique sensation coming from it. This should have been the imprint of the Realm that Momonga had mentioned before.

As he felt this sensation, there was a strong yearning for power that filled him. He wanted to reach the realm that this mark was in, he wanted that power to make all that he wanted his.

This impulse became stronger as a look of greed filled Lin Fan's face.

Momonga knitted his brows when he saw this.

He had said all this because he wanted to test Lin Fan. He could still see that there was some kind of split in Lin Fan and he wanted to see just how bad the split was.

Lin Fan also felt this impulse for a few seconds, but then he slowly drew it back in and calmed down again as the look of greed disappeared from his face.

After going to the Sacred Rock Realm and hearing Momonga mention this to him, he could now feel the split and he was slowly learning to control it. However, that was easier said than done…

Momonga saw that the look on his face was disappearing, so he slowly lowered his hand with the seal in it as he calmed down.

It seemed like Lin Fan was slowly getting much better at controlling himself, that was a relief, but it still didn't mean that the problem was solved.

While Momonga didn't mind the part of Lin Fan's soul that wanted to help people, he could feel a kind of darkness from the part of the soul that slaughtered people without any hesitation. A soul like that could easily fall into darkness and become corrupted. Once that happened, there would be no saving him, just like what happened in the past…

After a slight pause, Lin Fan turned to ask Momonga, "What do we do now?"

Momonga looked down at the corpse for a few seconds before saying, "Let's bring it along. To a certain extent, we had a bit of a relationship, so I know where to send his corpse. That's the least I can do with the karma between us."

Lin Fan nodded before taking the corpse and sword into the system's storage.

The moment the corpse and sword entered the system storage, there was a sudden notification from the system.

"A Law Realm has been discovered. Does the host wish to absorb this Law Realm to unlock a new function of the shadow cultivation room?"

Lin Fan was surprised the moment he heard this.

While he had heard Momonga mention a Realm before, he was surprised to hear this term Law Realm from the system now. It seemed like this Law Realm was something special if even the system was acknowledging it and using it to improve itself.

But he had seen how Momonga had looked at the blade, it was clear that this was someone from Momonga's past.

He wasn't going to arbitrarily decide to sacrifice the weapon to the system, he would at least discuss it with Momonga before doing so.

But in the end, he was still planning on sacrificing it.

So the corpse and blade just remained in the system's storage as they moved forward once again.

It was the same as before, with more and more passages that appeared in front of them, seeming like there was no end.

Finally when they arrived at a room with a hundred passages and went through one of them, what they were led to wasn't another room with one hundred and one passages.

Rather they were led into this large open room with a fountain right in the middle of the room. In the center of that fountain, there was the same statue that they had seen in the first room.

However, that wasn't all that was in this room.

In the center of the room, gathered around the fountain, there were several King Beasts standing in a circle. But that wasn't the most surprising thing, the most surprising thing was what was standing in the center.

In the center of the circle of King Beasts was a human standing there. It wasn't a human that seemed very special, but Lin Fan recognized this human since he had just seen him not that long ago.

This was one of the Legendary Realm Experts of the Union Government and the one that had died fighting against the beast wave.

But what was going on? Why was he standing here in the center of all these King Beasts like nothing was wrong?

Just based on the way they were treating him, it was almost as if they were following his orders.

Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "Could it be that he was a traitor all along?"

Momonga looked at the human in the center before saying, "Things aren't as simple as you think they are, you don't know the true power of the different laws yet."

Lin Fan was confused as he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Momonga didn't respond and just pointed at the center of the room.

The one thing of note was that they were currently covered in Momonga's darkness laws, just like they had been when they had entered any room. So even though they were just standing there watching them, none of the King Beast noticed them.

The human expert in the center of the room raised his hand and created a ball of darkness in his palm. After this ball of darkness had formed, there was a crystal that suddenly popped out of it, falling into his other raised hand in front of him.

As far as Lin Fan remembered, the law that this expert had used was the water law, he had never heard of this expert being able to use any darkness based laws before. What did this mean?

Momonga could see that Lin Fan was confused, so he explained, "As you become stronger and your understanding of laws becomes better, you will learn how to use the attributes of laws in different ways. For this shadow law, its main attribute is division. Shadows are another part of you, or to be accurate, another version of you. When that is used, these shadows can become an avatar."

Lin Fan still didn't understand what that meant.

Momonga continued, "That human is dead, but his corpse is now being controlled by this avatar. There's no need for me to tell you whose avatar it is, right?"

Once it was put in such simple words, naturally it became easy for Lin Fan to understand.

Other than the Shadow Lord, who else would be able to control shadow laws like this?

It was inconvenient for the Shadow Lord to descend personally since in his conquest, he had offended plenty of people and had made plenty of enemies. If he ever left his territory, these people would immediately capitalize on this, so there was no way that would ever happen.

But if he were to just send a shadow clone, that wouldn't draw enough attention to have any lasting effect.

That was also the reason why he needed this human expert's corpse.

A shadow was just a shadow in the end and without a physical body, it wasn't that strong. But with this human corpse, by binding to it, the shadow body now had a physical body that it could use, making it much more stable and powerful.

As for the crystal that had just come out of the ball of darkness in the human expert's hand, it was a crystal that both Lin Fan and Momonga were familiar with.

This was a crystal that they had seen many times back in Rock Mountain City, so there was no way they would mistaken it.

Lin Fan asked, "That is…"

Momonga just nodded and said, "Let's watch and see how it goes right now."

The crystal then floated out of the human expert's hand and floated there in the air, gathering dark energy.

Eventually that dark energy gathered to take form around the crystal, taking the form of a human body.

Unlike before, this body made purely out of dark energy wasn't completely made of pure dark energy. There were actual limbs that took form, taking the form of human arms and legs.

On its head, there wasn't the same eye, but rather there was only a single smile made of pure white teeth.

The energy that it gave off was much stronger than the figure of dark energy that had formed in the slave trade base of the Jiang Family. It was clear that this figure was much more complete compared to that figure.

Lin Fan suddenly remembered the information that he had tortured out of the soul fragment that he had extracted from Jiang Qi Tai.

It had said that there was a fragment that had already gathered several fragments, being much stronger than the rest.

Based on how complete this dark figure's form was, this should be the one that the other fragment had been talking about…

When the dark figure appeared, the human expert came forward and bowed along with the other King Beasts before saying, "Master, we've reached the second stage, but we don't know how to move on from here."

The dark figure looked around, looking at the statue first before suddenly slightly knitting the place where his brows would be before looking around again.

The dark figure said in a deep voice, "Something is off here."
