"I should check on my shadow to see how it is doing." Long Xiuying closed his eyes to see the Prime Sovereign's Shadow just idling on top of a hill made of corpses of thousands of giant insect.

"That's strange, I should check his stats to see if anything happened." Long Xiuying thought something happened to the shadow since this was the first time he never saw it moved.

Long Xiuying was confused on the new update about his shadow. Long Xiuying did not noticed these before because he was unconscious after the explosion.

"There seemed a new title, a new skill, and there is even a new system. Let's check it out." He concentrated on the words and a small detail about the system appeared.

[Artificial Puppet Intelligence - No Host

CULTIVATION BASE : N/A

PHYSICAL BASE: N/A

There is no host connected to the artificial Puppet Intelligence. Please provide a host. [1/1]

[Extinction Eye: Everything that is alive that the user can see will be wiped out of existence within 1500 meters. One eye will be destroy each time it is used.]

Condition: The user will need to command the Prime Sovereign's Shadow on when to use it.]

Long Xiuying can see how overpowered the eye was, but the cost was great. If he used it, the Prime Sovereign's Shadow power would drastically decrease. Nonetheless, it was an unstoppable trump card. It also seemed that he can use it, but for a cost of his eyes. He was not like the Prime Sovereign's Shadow that can regenerate.

"This sub-system, the artificial puppet intelligence, it seemed I can create something similar to the Prime Sovereign's Shadow. But I need a host? Forget it, no need to rush right now. Right now, my Prime Sovereign's Shadow is strong enough on its own."

Long Xiuying decided to leave his shadow alone for the time being. He did not want the backlash of the shadow when it attaches itself to him yet. Although, he could not leave the shadow idling for long since he would need to find stronger items soon to prepare himself.

Long Xiuying was waiting patiently as he consumed any food that the attendances brought him.

More than half an hour had passed and there was still no sign of Yi Da and his make-believe father.

It was at that moment, Yi Da stepped in along with a mid-age man next to him. Long Xiuying immediately recognized that man. He was the person who was chained to the wall in the tower.

Long Xiuying did not hesitate to act on his lie or else Yi Da would have been suspicious. He just had to believe that the man in front of him would play along with him.

"Father!" Long Xiuying ran over to hugged him like he hasn't seen him in years.

"It's ok, my son. I, your father, am here." The mid-age man was Wu Xinyi.

Before all this, After Wu Xinyi was sold to the black market by the three slave traders.

He woke up only to find himself locked up in a shabby cell like a slave. Given his power as someone in the foundation stage, he could have easily broken through to the outside, but he was not able to gather any spiritual energy. Then he noticed that his spiritual energy inside his body was slowly changing into dark spiritual energy. He quickly put two and two together and was able to guess out that he had been teleported into the Abandoned Continents.

He can faintly feel that he still have the strength of a foundation stage. However, he felt that his cultivation base was dropping as more of his spiritual energy was changing into dark spiritual energy.

Even more was that the collar prevented him from moving unless it was directed by someone who had control.

He was put in a dangerous situation.

It was not until two attendances opened his cell and apologized after removing his collar. Wu Xinyi was puzzled about the sudden turn of event, but he could not say anything since he did not believe that he could not fight his way through with his current power. He decided to just follow the attendances into a room where they dressed him like how a servant will dressed up a noble.

They dressed him up into a luxurious outfit that was meant for the wealthy. Unlike the luxurious robes he saw in the blessed continents, those in the Abandoned Continents wore a luxurious outfit with a robe to represent their status.

After Wu Xinyi was finished, a muscular man waited in front of him.

"My apology. I am Yi Da, the assistant manager of the Red Earth Black Market. Once again, my apology to the father of…" Yi Da now noticed that he did not catch the young man name. For him to make a simple mistake was something he had not done ever since he worked for the Red Earth Black Market.

'My son?' Wu Xinyi thought. He was baffled to find out he had a son but he always wore a poker face no matter the situation, thus, Yi Da could not read his expression.

"Forgive me, may I ask what is your name?" Yi Da quickly bowed to seek forgiveness.

"You may not, now take me to my son." Wu Xinyi could not show sign of weakness nor can he give out any information without clarity of the information. Even his name can bring unwanted results. If this was a test to see who he was, it was best to keep it in the dark for now. As a general who was well disciplined, he was used to diplomatic act and had seen many ways others would hide behind their facade.

Yi Da quickly showed him the way to his son.

When the two arrived, Wu Xinyi was greeted by a hug.

"Father!" The young man said gleefully.

"It's ok, my son. I, your father, am here." Wu Xinyi did not know who the boy was, but to see him act so enthusiastically, he could not help but reply.

"I wish to talk to my son alone." Wu Xinyi looked back on Yi Da with a threatening stare. Yi Da can feel an unformidable power him in his eyes and immediately back away.

Yi Da and the attendances left from Long Xiuying room leaving only Wu Xinyi and Long Xiuying.

After they were safe to speak, Wu Xinyi coldly spoke.

"Who are you?"

Long Xiuying dropped the charade and his face became calm. He activated his skill, chaotic insect armor.

If he wanted to get out of here, he would need help from his so called father.

Wu Xinyi eyes widen. Wu Xinyi saw him in the tower before he fainted after having his energy drained.

"You are…"

"For now I am your son." His armor dissipated into thin air. "I lied about having a father, but I did not expect one to me. And my name Long Xiuying, and we have teleported after the explosion caused by Feng Min."

Xu Xinyi can guess who was Feng Min.

"Haha, you have spunk kid. To be able to lie to save your skin. I saw what you did in the tower, and to be able to fool someone from the abandoned continent also. It is quite impressive. Only those with confidence in themselves could do that. What is your name?" Xu Xinyi respectfully asked as if he was his peer.

"I'm Long Xiuying."

"Long? Are you from the Long clan?" Xu Xinyi thought that it might be a possibility but it was unlikely. He only mentioned it because there was news circulating about a genius throughout the continents.

"No. I have no affiliation with them." Long Xiuying did not lie as he cut all tied with them. "By the way, what is your name, mister?"

"I'm Wu Xinyi, a general that served the Liu dynasty." Xu Xinyi introduced himself. He was interested in the young man before him since he indirectly saved his life.

Long Xiuying looked at Xu Xinyi with a pleased smile. The Liu dynasty

"Alright let's think up of a plan." Long Xiuying said. "Any suggestion?"

"First, I need to be able to regain my power. But I cannot absorb any spiritual energy around this place." Xu Xinyi was anxious since he does not know any technique to cultivate dark spiritual energy. His own cultivation technique was not working.

"That is not a problem. Try to absorb it as quickly as possible." Long Xiuying smiled playfully as he said it. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of core scattered around the room. Xu Xinyi was surprised that the young man was able to materialize so many without any storage ring anywhere on him. But he did not question it and quickly absorbed the spiritual energy.

There were those who felt such immense energy from outside the room that even Yi Da came back to see what was happening.

When Xu Xinyi was done, he was able to reach the initial foundation stage. It was not his peak but he was powerful nonetheless. However, he can feel that the dark spiritual energy in the atmosphere was reacting to his blessed spiritual energy causing it to change into dark spiritual energy.

Long Xiuying looked around to see there was two qi condensation core turned purple and was not able to be absorbed by Xu Xinyi. He placed it into his link storage to study for later.

Behind the door, Long Xiuying and Xu Xinyi heard a knocking. "Is everything alright, honorable guests?" Yi Da was just outside his door and was tempted to enter when he felt such rich energy flowing out from the room.

The two did not want other to see the amount of core scattered in the room. Therefore, circulated as much spiritual energy he could.

"Leave," With only the voice of Xu Xinyi, Yi Da knees almost buckled under the great pressure. There were sweats trickling beneath him that formed a puddle.

'He-he is in the foundation stage.' When Yi Da first examined him, he thought he was at least in the final stage of qi condensation but instead, he was in the foundation stage. He even had doubted them about being in the Unforgiving Shadow Sect, but now, it was replaced with uttered fear.
