Chapter 1016: 925 Luo Xue Heaven Venerable

The Tianxue Continent is located in the eastern part of the Snow Rock Realm, perennially covered by accumulated snow that keeps temperatures frighteningly low.

The Snow Soul Mountain Range is situated in the southern part of the Snow Rock Realm, where the Snow Soul Tribe has lived for generations.

Deep within the mountain range, a majestic palace stands tall, its plaque bearing the three large characters "Snow Soul Palace".

A buxom woman in a white dress sits in the seat of honor, with snow-white hair and eyes, her figure almost indistinguishable from that of the Human Clan.

The Qianhuo Heaven Venerable sits in a chair to the side, smiling.

"Taoist Friend Ning, I hear you were bested in a sparring match by Taoist Friend Shen; is he really that formidable?"

The woman in the white dress asked with curiosity.

Heaven Venerable Luo Xue, Mahayana Mid Stage.

"Taoist Friend Shen is able to transform into four True Spirit forms to confront his enemy and also possesses a heavyweight Xuantian Treasure. I’ve only attained a minor accomplishment in Spirit Domain, which was broken through by him. Madam Chen, if you’re interested, you could visit the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot and spar with Taoist Friend Shen."

The Qianhuo Heaven Venerable said with a smile.

"I certainly don’t have the leisure for that; I was just a bit curious about your loss to Taoist Friend Shen, that’s all."

Heaven Venerable Luo Xue clarified.

"It’s been many years; I thought Madam Chen might have ascended to the Mahayana Late Stage, but it seems you have yet to resolve your bottleneck."

The Qianhuo Heaven Venerable remarked.

"It’s not so easy to overcome a bottleneck; who knows how many are stuck at the Mahayana Mid Stage. Taoist Friend Ning, you didn’t come here just to chat. Let’s get to the heart of the matter!"

Heaven Venerable Luo Xue said meaningfully.

"I wish to invite Madam Chen to brave that place. Perhaps the challenge could provide an opportunity to break through your bottleneck."

The Qianhuo Heaven Venerable stated earnestly.

Heaven Venerable Luo Xue’s eyebrows knitted tightly as she pondered for a moment before saying, "That place is too dangerous. Even a Heaven Venerable might perish. I will think of other ways to resolve my bottleneck. Please find someone else!"

"I knew Madam Chen would refuse, but I wanted to let you know. If you’re interested, you can send someone to contact me at any time. If we are really going to that place, we will need to make extensive preparations."

The expression of the Qianhuo Heaven Venerable was solemn.

"Agreed, if I change my mind, I will have someone notify you."

Heaven Venerable Luo Xue promised.

"Agreed. I won’t impose any further, farewell."

After speaking these words, the Qianhuo Heaven Venerable transformed into a red Escape Light and left the place.

"I hope I can resolve the bottleneck. Otherwise, venturing to that place is more likely to bring misfortune than fortune."

Heaven Venerable Luo Xue muttered to herself, her eyes filled with apprehension.

In the Huan Yue Realm, on the lands of the Xu Family.

A serene estate, with Shen Long and Chu Buyu sitting in a Green Stone Pavilion, while Xu Yihong, Xu Xingyao, Chen Yu, and Li Huang stood nearby, their expressions respectful.

Under the direction of Shen Long, Qianyue Palace and the Xu Family joined forces to combat the Different Clan, seizing territories and plundering resources.

Shen Long sent Shen Mei, Shen Chan, Shen Lie, and Shen Zhan to lend assistance, eradicating two relatively powerful Different Clans of the Huan Yue Realm. These two clahs had no backing from Super Clans and were thus preeminent in the Huan Yue Realm.

Qianyue Palace and the Xu Family expanded their territories, significantly increasing their influence. The Xu Family, in particular, saw the swiftest growth in power. Many Human Clan Powers, upon learning that the Xu Family had become a subsidiary power to the Qianling Sect, started to affiliate themselves with it.

The Xu Family has now become the largest force in the Huan Yue Realm, while Qianyue Palace and several other Human Clan Powers are allies.

"Taoist Friend Shen, here are some Spiritual Medicines we’ve seized. Keeping them would be a waste, so we’ll leave them to you for Alchemy!"

Chen Yu took out a Green Storage Bracelet and handed it to Shen Long.

She also hoped that Qianyue Palace would become a subsidiary power of the Qianling Sect. With a Heaven Venerable to support them, the development of Qianyue Palace would be much smoother.

Shen Long accepted the Storage Bracelet, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and nodded. There were over a thousand strands of Spiritual Medicine over ten thousand years old.

"These resources are for you; I hope that Qianyue Palace and the Xu Family will cooperate sincerely, help each other in unity, and avoid internal conflicts."

Shen Long took out a blue Storage Bracelet and handed it to Chen Yu.

"Taoist Friend Shen, our Qianyue Palace is also capable of serving the Qianling Sect."

Chen Yu’s face brimmed with anticipation.

"Madam Chen, do you think that with these trifles, Qianyue Palace can become a subordinate power of our Qianling Sect? You really think we haven’t seen the world."

Shen Long sneered with disdain.

The rarity is what makes something precious; if it weren’t for the Immortal Yuan Stones in the Jade Box provided by Xu Xingyao, Shen Long would not have accepted the Xu Family.

"If your Qianyue Palace can obtain the materials listed here, having three types would qualify you to become a subordinate power of our Qianling Sect."

Chu Buyu took out a green Jade Slip and passed it to Chen Yu.

The Jade Slip mostly recorded the materials that the Immortals of the Lin Family were collecting, besides those, the True Spirit Core and Xuantian Objects were also listed.

Chen Yu furrowed her brow and said, "Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, we will do our utmost to search for these materials."

"Speak once you have found them; we have urgent matters to attend to and won’t stay any longer. If you encounter troubles you are unable to resolve, you can send someone to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot to inform us."

Shen Long said.

"Alright, we will send someone to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot to liaise with the cultivators of the Qianling Sect."

Xu Yihong agreed to the arrangement.

Chu Buyu summoned the Qianhuo Boat and boarded it, with Shen Long closely following behind.

"We take our leave, take care."

After Shen Long finished speaking, the Qianhuo Boat lit up with a dazzling red light and flew towards the high sky, quickly disappearing from sight.

In the Chili Realm, among the Chili Clan.

A tranquil manor where Tao Wu, Li Yang, and Li Xue were sitting in a Green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

"We have too little information; our scouts have come back empty-handed. Even after hosting a large-scale cultivation meeting and offering rare resources to attract other Mahayana Cultivators, we still haven’t found the Qinglian Casket."

Tao Wu said with a frown.

"There’s no helping it! If it were me who had obtained the Qinglian Casket, I wouldn’t be asking around. Moreover, we still don’t know which cultivator possesses the casket. I hope the Qinglian Casket is within the Qingxuanzhou Realm, what worries me is it falling into the Lower Realm, that would be even more troublesome."

Li Yang furrowed his brow and spoke.

"Shall we send someone to the Lower Realm to search?"

Li Xue suggested.

"No, the more people know about it, the more troublesome it gets. I have already sent someone to watch for any high-rank Diviners to see if we can deduce the whereabouts of this treasure."

Li Yang said.

"But that’s not feasible! Otherwise, Elder Tao Sheng would have already done so."

Tao Wu analyzed.

"We’re resorting to a dying horse as a living horse doctor; we still have to try. Otherwise, with just a name, how are we to search for it."

Li Yang sighed, his face etched with worry.

Assuming a Core Formation Cultivator obtained a box that can’t be opened, impervious to Spiritual Treasures, he might trade it with a Nascent Soul Cultivator for resources, which is difficult to spread to the ears of the Chili Clan Cultivators. There are too many similar scenarios and they are hard to distinguish.

Over the years, the Chili Clan has dispatched a large number of people to monitor for any cultivators obtaining unopenable Jade Boxes. There have been many leads, but upon investigation, none have turned out to be the Qinglian Casket without exception.

Tao Wu nodded, "That’s also true; let’s give it a try then! If we can find the Qinglian Casket, we will have made a significant contribution."

"Let’s hope we find the Qinglian Casket soon! The longer it takes, the more likely the information will leak."

Li Xue analyzed.

Li Yang nodded, "Let’s do our best then!"
