Chapter 1041: 950 50,000 years (gone today)

Blood River Realm, Blood River Sect.

Shangguan Sheng sat on the main seat in the Blood River Hall, his expression solemn.

Li Xuewei and Liu Feng stood by his side, looking serious.

"Shen Long is that powerful? Hong Feng and Heaven Venerable Lei both together were not their opponents?"

Shangguan Sheng exclaimed in surprise.

"That’s right, we just don’t know if the Qianling Sect will act against us. The Myriad Ghost Sect has been wiped out, and I’m not sure if it was under Qianling Sect’s direction."

Li Xuewei looked worried.

"We have no direct conflict of interest with the Qianling Sect, I believe Shen Long wouldn’t be so foolish as to make enemies everywhere. Send someone to touch base with the Qianling Sect, saying we’re willing to help exterminate the remnants of the three major clans, and hope the Qianling Sect agrees,"

Shangguan Sheng instructed.

"Elder Brother Shangguan, should we really get involved? There are still some Mahayana Cultivators from the three major clans at large; if they return later on, it could implicate us."

Li Xuewei said doubtfully.

"If we don’t deal with the remnants of the three major clans, in the future there could be a possibility to cooperate with them. Why do you think the Qianling Sect allows its subordinate forces to deal with those of the three major clans? This is picking sides; whoever chooses neutrality at this time is courting death. Now, the Qianling Sect is powerful, and bowing down isn’t too much. Shen Long won’t always be in the Lower Realm; we need to consider ascending to the Immortal Realm. I’m stuck at a bottleneck and plan to travel outside to find a way to resolve it,"

Shangguan Sheng spoke slowly.

Li Xuewei and Liu Feng suddenly understood and agreed.

After giving a few instructions, Shangguan Sheng left the Blood River Sect.

...

Time flies, decades go by; fifty thousand years have passed.

Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Qianling Marketplace.

The streets were bustling with people and noisy with carriages and horses.

About dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators gathered at the entrance of the marketplace, greeting any Cultivator who entered the Qianling Marketplace, asking if they needed a guide.

"Why have there been so many Cultivators from other realms recently?"

One Foundation Establishment Cultivator curiously asked.

"Haven’t you heard? The subordinate forces of the Qianling Sect have come to offer tributes. Ah, if only I could join the Qianling Sect."

"Keep dreaming, the recruitment requirements of the Qianling Sect are very strict, joining its subordinate forces is already quite impressive."

"Yes! Even a subordinate force of the Qianling Sect is not something ordinary forces can afford to provoke."

Everyone discussed animatedly; during the past fifty thousand years, the Qianling Sect had acquired ten more subordinate forces.

After Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and others eradicated Hong Feng and another fifteen Mahayana Cultivators, the Wang Family, Ni Family, and other forces actively exterminated the remnants of the Chili Clan, Blood Shadow Clan, and Qingxuan Clan, obtaining a large amount of resources.

All subordinate forces of the Chili Clan, Blood Shadow Clan, and Qingxuan Clan were wiped out and replaced by emerging forces. The Wang Family, Ni Family, and Fire Fusion Clan all moved out of the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot to develop in other realms.

The power of the Qianling Sect continued to grow, and the resources of the Green Lotus Continent were limited. Staying on Green Lotus Continent for a long time would definitely lead to friction. By taking advantage of the major reshuffle of forces and relocating to other realms for development, with the support of the Qianling Sect, why not do it.

The Qianling Sect’s development soared, and even the weakest of its subordinate forces had three Mahayana Cultivators. Multiple leaders of cross-realm trade alliances sought cooperation with the Qianling Sect, whose influence extended across dozens of realms, making its power unparalleled.

In the Qianling Garden, Five Thunder Divine Monarch and Su Changfeng sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

"Taoist Friend Su, thank you. With these two Nine Suns True Spirit Pills, our Wang Family will be able to become a True Spirit Noble Family. Whatever orders you have in the future, our Wang Family will definitely comply,"

Five Thunder Divine Monarch expressed his gratitude.

The Nine Suns True Spirit Pill is a special Eighth Rank Elixir, refined using essence blood from a True Spirit as the core ingredient. When consumed by a Mahayana Cultivator, the offspring produced have a certain chance of inheriting that True Spirit Bloodline, which is the origin of True Spirit Noble Families.

After accumulating materials necessary for refining Immortal Artifacts, exchanging them for two Nine Suns True Spirit Pills, the Wang Family would become a True Spirit Noble Family.

"Taoist Friend Wang is too modest. The items you’ve collected are quite impressive. Moreover, our master’s relationship with you is also very good; I hope your development continues to prosper."

Su Changfeng said enthusiastically.

The Qianling Sect is now very powerful, but there are still many formidable forces in the nearby realms, such as the Gu Family, the Ghost Tribe, and the Blood River Sect, which all have support in the Immortal Realm. Therefore, the Qianling Sect cannot overstep too much.

The Qianling Sect plans to support a few True Spirit Noble Families to strengthen its own power, with the Wang Family and the Ni Family being among those supported.

"By the way, has Taoist Friend Shen not emerged from seclusion yet? So many years have passed, he should have ascended to the Mahayana Late Stage already!"

The Five Thunder Divine Monarch asked curiously.

Since the last battle, Shen Long had been in closed-door cultivation, and had not shown himself in over fifty thousand years.

"Master is still in seclusion. Taoist Friend Wang, I hope your Wang Family will soon become a True Spirit Noble Family."

Su Changfeng said.

The Divine Monarch of Five Thunders nodded, chatted for half an hour, and then took his leave.

Lin Qingshan walked in, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master, Grandmaster has ended his seclusion and asks for your presence; he has matters to discuss with you."

"Alright, I’ll be there immediately."

Su Changfeng replied and got up to leave.

He used a Transference Array to return to Qianling Sect and arrived at the Golden Roc Peak, where he met Shen Long and Chu Buyu in a small courtyard with green roof tiles.

"Disciple pays respects to Master and Mistress."

Su Changfeng bowed deeply.

"Not bad, you’ve also ascended to the Mahayana Mid Stage. To what realm have you cultivated your Spirit Domain?"

Shen Long asked with a pleasant expression.

"Disciple has cultivated his Spirit Domain to Minor Perfection. Master, has your Spirit Domain reached Great Perfection?"

Su Changfeng asked curiously.

He had ascended to the Mahayana Realm over a hundred thousand years ago, so reaching the Mahayana Mid Stage was not strange.

"No, your master and I have been continuously cultivating these years, and both of us are stuck at a bottleneck. Since your Spirit Domain has reached Minor Perfection, we feel reassured enough to travel outside. Has Senior Brother Wu not returned yet?"

Shen Long continued to inquire.

He had been in seclusion for over fifty thousand years, unable to ascend to the Mahayana Late Stage, stuck at a bottleneck. Many Mahayana Cultivators get stuck at the Mahayana Mid Stage; Hong Feng has been stuck for over a hundred thousand years.

"Not yet. We’ve sent people to inquire, but there’s no news of him. He probably traveled to a farther realm."

Su Changfeng spoke truthfully. Something came to his mind, and he took out a golden storage bracelet and handed it to Shen Long, saying, "Master, these are rare refining materials and alchemy materials I’ve collected over the years."

Shen Long took the storage bracelet, a sweep of his Divine Sense revealed several hundred Spiritual Medicines, each over two hundred thousand years old, plus five materials for refining Immortal Artifacts.

"We plan to travel outside. If there are matters you can’t handle, discuss and decide with Senior Sister Mo and the others. Harmony brings wealth, make less enemies, make more friends,"

Shen Long instructed.

"Yes, master, your disciple obeys,"

Su Changfeng complied.

"Continue to send people to look out for news about the Qinglian Casket. Announce externally that it is a jade box left by a Heaven Venerable."

Chu Buyu instructed.

Su Changfeng agreed readily. Over the years, the Qianling Sect had sent many people to search for the Qinglian Casket, but unfortunately, they had found nothing.

After instructing him a few more things, Shen Long and Chu Buyu left the Qianling Sect.
