Chapter 1043: Message from Grandmaster 952

"I am Shen Long, and I would like to inquire about the whereabouts of a Mahayana Cultivator with Taoist Friend Wu."

Shen Long gave his name.

"Shen Long? Are you the Taoist Friend Shen who defeated the Qianhuo Heaven Venerable? Truly as remarkable as I’ve heard."

Heaven Venerable Qianhai said in amazement, his face showing admiration.

"Heaven Venerable Qingyang possesses the body of Xuanmo, with the innate divine ability of Xuanmo Divine Light that strengthens his physical power and rivals that of True Spirits, but he is far inferior when compared to Taoist Friend Shen."

The woman in a golden dress praised.

"True Spirits also have their strengths and weaknesses; it’s nothing special. By the way, Taoist Friend Wu, have you seen this person?"

Shen Long modestly said and took out the portrait of Yuling True Monarch, handing it to Heaven Venerable Qianhai to examine.

Heaven Venerable Qianhai glanced at it and said, "I haven’t seen this person, but my clan members might have. Taoist Friend Shen, you have saved Wu’s life. Please come and stay with our Wu Family for a while and let us extend our hospitality."

"Good, then we’ll impose on your hospitality."

Shen Long agreed.

The Wu Family is a True Spirit Noble Family, with a Heaven Venerable guarding it, and they are very powerful.

At this moment, the Green Fire Phoenix also swallowed the green Colossal Tiger and flew back into the sleeve of Shen Long.

Shen Jiu took the valuables from the corpse of Heaven Venerable Qingyang and consumed the body.

Together they arrived at the Qianhuo Boat; Chu Buyu performed a spell, and the Qianhuo Boat flew forward.

In less than three days, the Qianhuo Boat came to a halt above a gigantic island, filled with exotic flowers, ancient trees reaching the skies, and a lot of buildings with figures moving around.

"Taoist Friend Wu, the Wu Family’s Clan Protection Formation is quite impressive! Such illusions in front of us could deceive numerous Mahayana Cultivators."

Shen Long praised with a smile.

"What? This is an illusion?"

The woman in a golden dress said in surprise.

Lin Rong, at Mahayana Mid Stage, comes from Qingji Realm and has dealings with the Wu Family.

A look of surprise flashed through Heaven Venerable Qianhai’s eyes as he said: "Taoist Friend Shen, are you an Array Master?"

"Not exactly, my Spirit Beast discovered it," Shen Long explained with a smile.

The Wu Family is a True Spirit Noble Family, and he was telling Heaven Venerable Qianhai not to harbor any ill intentions.

Heaven Venerable Qianhai suddenly realized and laughed: "I forgot that Taoist Friend Shen is skilled in Insect Repelling and Controlling Beast Taming. Indeed, the scene before us is an illusion, designed to prevent Heaven Venerable Qingyang."

As soon as his words fell, the huge island before them disappeared.

A similar gigantic island appeared in the distance, with a large number of Cultivators walking around.

Two streaks of Escape Light flew over and quickly stopped, revealing a tall young man in green clothes and a voluptuous woman in a purple dress.

"Ancestor Yihai, have you dealt with Heaven Venerable Qingyang?"

The young man in green asked.

"I’m no match for him; I almost got killed. Had Taoist Friend Shen not intervened to kill Heaven Venerable Qingyang, I surely would have perished," said Heaven Venerable Qianhai.

"Taoist Friend Shen?"

The young man in green and the woman in purple paused for a moment, looking puzzled.

"Taoist Friend Wu, Madam Wu, you must have heard of the Myriad Beasts Heaven Venerable! That is Taoist Friend Shen," Lin Rong said with a smile.

"So it is the Myriad Beasts Heaven Venerable. I am Wu Delin, I have seen Taoist Friend Shen," the young man in green said politely.

"You are too kind, Taoist Friend Wu. By the way, have you seen this person? This is my senior brother, and I am looking for him," said Shen Long as he took out the portrait of Yuling True Monarch and handed it to the young man in green.

Wu Delin glanced at the portrait and nodded: "This is Taoist Friend Wu, I’ve even exchanged resources with him. He inquired about an Eighth Rank Monster Bird with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline. Hearing that there were such creatures in the Xuanlang Realm, he went there – hmm, that was over fifty thousand years ago."

"Senior Brother Wu went to the Xuanlang Realm?"

Shen Long pressed for further information.

"That’s what he said, but as to where he went after that, I’m not sure. However, the Qian Family from the Xuanlang Realm is related to us by marriage. I can use the Messaging Plate to contact the Qian Family members and ask them to inquire about Taoist Friend Wu," said Wu Delin.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you, Taoist Friend Wu," said Shen Long, expressing his thanks.

"It’s a simple matter, Taoist Friend Shen. You’ve saved Wu, and you are now a distinguished guest of the Wu Family; please, come inside."

Heaven Venerable Qianhai enthusiastically spoke and made a welcoming gesture.

And so, Shen Long and Chu Buyu settled down at the Wu Family’s place.

······

In Zixia Realm, at the bustling Zixia Marketplace, the streets were teeming with people, and the noise of carriages and horses filled the air.

Within a quiet courtyard with green tiles, Yuling True Monarch and Master Vajra were sitting in a green Stone Pavilion, engaged in conversation.

"Junior Brother Shen took the lead in exterminating three Super Clans?"

Yuling True Monarch exclaimed in surprise, he is currently at the Mahayana Mid Stage.

"Yes! Has Taoist Friend Wu not contacted Qianling Sect at all?"

Master Vajra asked with curiosity.

"Qianling Sect has already become very powerful, and I will be in cultivation retreat at my cave dwelling when I return. I thought of gathering some more resources before going back,"

said Yuling True Monarch with a smile.

He had collected some Essence Blood of Eighth Rank Monster Birds with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, as well as two materials for refining Immortal Artifacts, resources that both Shen Long and Chu Buyu were collecting.

Master Vajra suddenly realized and said: "What are your plans next, Taoist Friend Wu?"

"I’ve heard that the Green Rainbow Realm has revealed the abode of Heaven Venerable Jin Hong, and I am planning to go there to have a look. Does Master have any interest in joining me?"

Yuling True Monarch extended the invitation.

"No thank you, this monk wishes to attend a Buddhist teaching by Great Wisdom Master. Taoist Friend Wu, do be careful! There are many Restrictions in a Heaven Venerable’s abode."

Master Vajra reminded.

"I will be careful. If Master happens to meet Junior Brother Shen, please convey a message for me, just say that I am well and there’s no need to worry about me,"

said Yuling True Monarch sincerely.

Master Vajra agreed, considering it a small favor.

After chatting idly for half an hour, Yuling True Monarch took his leave.

······

In Jinming Realm, on Jiuying Island, at the Wu Family’s estate.

In a tranquil manor, Shen Long, Chu Buyu, Heaven Venerable Qianhai, and Wu Delin were sitting in a green Stone Pavilion, immersed in conversation.

"Senior Brother Wu was last seen in Qianlang Realm? He hasn’t appeared in the nearby realms since then?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"No, if he hasn’t been in contact with other Mahayana Cultivators from different realms, and he was focusing solely on his journey, indeed, his whereabouts would be unknown,"

said Wu Delin.

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Wu,"

Shen Long expressed his gratitude.

"It was no trouble at all. You’re being too polite, Taoist Friend Shen. By the way, this is a small token of appreciation from our Wu Family, to thank Taoist Friend Shen for saving Ancestor Yihai,"

Wu Delin took out a green Storage Bracelet and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long scanned it with his Divine Sense and found more than a thousand 200,000-year-old Spiritual Medicines inside. He thanked Wu Delin and accepted the bracelet.

"By the way, Taoist Friend Shen, the Myriad Spirits Sect in Jinya Realm is hosting a Heaven Venerable Assembly and inviting Heaven Venerables to participate. If you’re interested, you can attend,"

said Heaven Venerable Qianhai.

"Myriad Spirits Sect? Taoist Friend Wu, what’s the background of this Myriad Spirits Sect?"

Shen Long asked out of curiosity.

Heaven Venerable Qianhai cracked a slight smile and explained, "Taoist Friend Shen must have heard of the Li Family from Jin Long Realm, haven’t you? The Li Family is an Immortal Clan, and the Myriad Spirits Sect is a subsidiary force of the Li Family; it’s possible that Mahayana members of the Li Family will appear."

"So that’s how it is. Does Taoist Friend Wu not plan to attend?"

Shen Long inquired.

"I have suffered serious injuries and plan to recuperate for a while. The Heaven Venerable Assembly won’t convene that soon, and going now to make a few more acquaintances is good. Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu are also welcome to stay at our Wu Family’s place. Once I have recovered, we can all go together,"

Heaven Venerable Qianhai said slowly.

To be honest, he had no deep friendship with Shen Long, and given Shen Long’s formidable power, he actually hoped Shen Long would leave soon.

"We won’t impose any further. We’ll meet at the Heaven Venerable Assembly!"

Shen Long said with a smile.

He clearly understood Heaven Venerable Qianhai’s worries, and Shen Long himself was not interested in staying at the Wu Family’s place for long.

Despite Heaven Venerable Qianhai’s repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, Shen Long still declined.

After some casual conversation for about an hour, Shen Long and Chu Buyu bid farewell and left.
