Chapter 1010: 919 Blood River Sect seeks peace

Blood River Garden, Li Xuewei and Liu Feng were talking about something.

"Originally I thought he would come seeking peace with us, but now it seems we are the ones who have to seek peace with him."

Li Xuewei said with a gloomy face.

Shen Long’s power is terrifying, mastering the transformations of four True Spirits, as well as possessing a Xuantian Treasure and an Eighth Rank Spiritual Flame.

Even Heaven Venerable Qianhuo, with his Spirit Domain cultivated to initial success, couldn’t trap Shen Long. It’s feared that only Spirit Domain Great Achievement or Great Perfection could possibly trap him.

Even with external aid, Mahayana Cultivators who can cultivate their Spirit Domain to Great Achievement or Perfection are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns; those who can do this must certainly be Heaven Venerables.

"If we show submission, will he accept it?"

Liu Feng asked, frowning.

"Our Blood River Sect has no life-and-death feud with Qianling Sect, nor any conflicts of interest. There’s no reason for us to be enemies. Being close to Heavenly Demon Palace was a thing of the past; even if the Heavenly Demon Palace still existed, we would not provoke a Heaven Venerable over it."

Li Xuewei said in a deep voice.

In the Cultivation Realm, strength is respected. Shen Long’s strength is clear, and they are unwilling and do not wish to become enemies with Shen Long.

"How about we ask Taoist Friend Shangguan to come over? He has tamed the Blue-Eyed Cold Silkworm, Shen Long would be wary of that, right?"

Liu Feng suggested.

"Taoist Friend Shangguan is in seclusion, comprehending the Spirit Domain. We don’t need to disturb him for such a trivial matter. Let’s go and talk to Shen Long first and see what his attitude is!"

Li Xuewei said in a deep voice, and they left Blood River Garden and arrived at the entrance of Qianling Garden, where Chen Ying and Liu Yang were guarding.

"Would the two junior friends please report that I, Li Xuewei of the Blood River Sect, have something to discuss with Taoist Friend Shen," Li Xuewei said.

"Junior Liu Yang. Senior Li, please wait for a moment; I will report immediately," Liu Yang said respectfully.

The Blood River Sect is a super-sect on par with the True Spirit Noble Family; Liu Yang did not dare to neglect them.

He pulled out a green command plate, infused a spell into it, and gestured for a while.

After a moment, he put away the command plate and said politely, "The two seniors are invited by Master Shen."

Just as Li Xuewei and Liu Feng entered Qianling Garden, they were met by Wang Rui.

"Madam Li, Taoist Friend Liu, please follow me," Wang Rui said politely, leading the way.

Before long, they met Shen Long and Chu Buyu in a small courtyard with green tiles.

"Madam Li, Taoist Friend Liu, please sit down," Shen Long invited them to sit.

Chu Buyu picked up the teapot and poured tea for them.

After some small talk, Li Xuewei steered the conversation to the Heavenly Demon Palace.

"Madam Liu, the Heavenly Demon Palace has been destroyed. I heard that your connection with the Heavenly Demon Palace’s Mahayana was quite deep. Do you have any plans?" Shen Long asked casually.

Li Xuewei and Liu Feng sought Shen Long out, surely guessing that the Heavenly Demon Palace was destroyed by him. Shen Long was not afraid of the Blood River Sect, but without any conflicts of interest, he was not keen on provoking them either.

"We had some dealings with the Mahayana Cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Palace, merely superficial connections. Hearing that the Heavenly Demon Palace was domineering, harming the innocent, they brought destruction upon themselves; we have no intention of meddling."

Li Xuewei spoke in a calm tone.

"Of course, if the culprit was only targeting the Heavenly Demon Palace, our Blood River Sect won’t meddle. But if they come for our Blood River Sect, then we will see it through to the end," Liu Feng said with a meaningful tone.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. The blood debts owed by the Heavenly Demon Palace naturally fall to them to answer for," Shen Long stated calmly.

"We agree with Taoist Friend Shen’s viewpoint; every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. If I may be so bold to ask, to what realm have you cultivated your Spirit Domain, Taoist Friend Shen?" Li Xuewei asked curiously.

"The Spirit Domain is too difficult to cultivate. Even with external assistance, it’s hard to comprehend," Shen Long said vaguely, not about to reveal his true strength.

"I heard that your sect’s Taoist Friend Shangguan has tamed the True Spirit Blue-Eyed Cold Silkworm and possesses vast Divine Skills. Didn’t he come to participate in this Cultivation Conference?" Chu Buyu asked with a face full of curiosity.

"Taoist Friend Shangguan was preoccupied with important matters and could not come. He is very keen to meet cultivators with divine skills. If he knew of Taoist Friend Shen’s strength, he would surely want to make his acquaintance,"

Li Xuewei said.

"Shen has long heard of Taoist Friend Shangguan’s great reputation and has wanted to meet him. It would be nice to have the opportunity to get to know Taoist Friend Shangguan."

Shen Long said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Li Xuewei’s face deepened as she said, "If there’s a chance, we’ll introduce you to each other."

After some idle chat for half an hour, Li Xuewei and Liu Feng took their leave.

"They probably guessed it was us who destroyed the Heavenly Demon Palace and came to us with good intentions, not wanting to become our enemies,"

Chu Buyu analyzed.

"I hope they really do that. With our current strength, we do not fear the Blood River Sect either,"

Shen Long said in a deep voice, full of confidence.

After chatting for a while, Shen Long entered a practice room and sat down for meditation and breath regulation.

Half a month quickly passed by. Early one day, a wide expanse of Green Stone Plaza with a hundred-foot-tall green stone platform in the center, on which was placed a green meditation cushion.

Around the green stone platform was an array of green meditation cushions. Shen Long, Chu Buyu, the Five Thunder Divine Monarch, and over a hundred other Mahayana Cultivators sat on the cushions, while cultivators beneath Mahayana could only stand, listening from a distance.

Yang Honglei descended from the sky and landed on the green stone platform.

"I am Yang Honglei. Greetings to all Taoist friends. I will be presiding over this meeting on discussing the Dao. Let me start first!"

Yang Honglei briefly introduced himself and then sat down on the meditation cushion.

Yang Honglei began to discuss his cultivation insights, the difficulties he encountered, and how he resolved them.

Other Mahayana Cultivators could express their views and take part in the discussion, pooling wisdom for mutual benefit.

Different Mahayana Cultivators faced different challenges in their cultivation, and their solutions varied, which provided references for the others. Besides this, they also discussed the fundamentals of the "Dao."

The Mahayana Cultivators took turns going up to the green stone platform to speak of their cultivation experiences or share their insights into various skills, including Alchemy, Formation, Talisman Crafting, Artifact Refining, and Spirit Controlling.

The Heaven Venerable Qianhuo shared his insights into Artifact Refining as an Eighth Rank Artifact Refiner. Shen Long shared his experiences in nurturing Spiritual Beasts and Birds. Of course, they kept some secrets to themselves, but even so, the information was still very precious to the other cultivators.

The discussion conference lasted over four months. After discussing the Dao with over a hundred Mahayana Cultivators, Shen Long and Chu Buyu felt like they’d had an epiphany, especially in the cultivation of the Spirit Domain.

After the discussion meeting ended, numerous Mahayana Cultivators gradually left the Huolin marketplace.

In Qianling Garden, Shen Long, Chu Buyu, Wang Rui, Li Jingjing, Li Dong, and Yuan Rui sat inside a Green Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

"We have some matters to attend to, and you should return to the Qianling Sect on your own! I have already talked to Taoist Friend Wang, so you can travel with him. Be careful on your way,"

Shen Long said.

"Junior Brother Shen, Junior Sister Chu, take good care,"

Li Dong advised.

"We will be cautious, and you should do the same,"

Shen Long gave a few words of caution and left Qianling Garden with Chu Buyu.

They arrived at the exit of the marketplace, where they saw the Divine Monarch Tianxin.

"Taoist Friend Xu, where are the others?"

Shen Long asked.

"They declined my invitation when they heard that I had invited you,"

The Divine Monarch Tianxin said with a wry smile.

He had thought that Shen Long was quite strong, but he did not expect Shen Long to be even stronger than the Heaven Venerable Qianhuo. In such circumstances, the other friends did not dare to go treasure hunting with Shen Long.

"Are you still willing to go with us?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"Without Taoist Friend Shen’s help, I have no way of acquiring the Nine Thunder Calabash Peaches. I only want two,"

The Divine Monarch Tianxin communicated telepathically, his expression anxious.

Truth be told, the pressure of going treasure hunting with Shen Long was quite significant for him.

"If we agreed on five, then five it shall be. We keep our word. Since the other Taoist friends don’t dare to go, let’s set out!"

Shen Long said firmly.

After leaving the marketplace, Chu Buyu summoned the Qianhuo Boat, which carried them away from the place.
