Chapter 1044: 953 Heaven Venerable Zi Lian

"Ancestor Yihai, do you intend to fully recover before attending the Heaven Venerable Conference?"

Wu Delin asked curiously.

"In my current state, I am no match for any of the Heaven Venerables. Transmit a message to our affiliated powers, if Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu appear in their realms, provide them with as much help as possible."

Heaven Venerable Qianhai instructed.

"Yes, Ancestor Yihai."

Wu Delin agreed, and then something occurred to him, he said, "Taoist Friend Shen alone, with his Art of Transformation, was able to kill Qingyang Heaven Venerable. His Divine Skills are vast, but it’s unclear whether he has mastered the Spirit Domain."

"He was able to offer the Nine Orifices Daofruit Pill in exchange, which surely indicates he has cultivated the Spirit Domain, at least to the initial success stage. That’s also why I did not want them to stay on Jiuying Island for long, but fortunately, they bear no ill will."

Heaven Venerable Qianhai said the last part with a face full of wariness.

"Even if they had ill intentions, our Clan Protection Formation is not just for show."

Wu Delin disagreed.

"What do you think gives them the courage to reside on Jiuying Island? If it were you, would you dare?"

Heaven Venerable Qianhai retorted.

"I... I wouldn’t do that. A wise man does not stand under a collapsing wall," Wu Delin said.

"You understand this principle, and you think they do not? If I’m not mistaken, that subordinate of Taoist Friend Shen who possesses the Destructive Law Eye is a True Spirit, and he has more than one True Spirit at his side."

Heaven Venerable Qianhai analyzed.

"That’s impossible! How can True Spirits be cultivated so easily?" Wu Delin questioned.

"Do you think any Eighth Rank Spiritual Beast can easily break Qingyang Heaven Venerable’s Escape Technique? If he only had one True Spirit, would he allow it to act so casually? He slew Qingyang Heaven Venerable without breaking a sweat, in any case, we can only make friends with them, we must absolutely not offend."

The voice of Heaven Venerable Qianhai was heavy.

"Yes, Ancestor Yihai, I understand," Wu Delin said solemnly, then took his leave.

...

Myriad Spirits Continent is located in the central part of Jinya Realm, and the Myriad Spirits marketplace is situated in the southwest of Jinya Realm, making it the largest marketplace in Jinya Realm.

As the Heaven Venerable Conference draws near, a large number of Mahayana Cultivators rush to the Myriad Spirits marketplace, contributing to its prosperity.

A red Escape Light appeared in the distant sky, swiftly approaching the Myriad Spirits marketplace.

The red Escape Light slowed down as it came within five hundred thousand miles of the Myriad Spirits marketplace, revealing a red glowing Flying Boat. Shen Long, Chu Buyu, Shen Chan, and a burly man in a green robe stood atop the Red Flying Boat.

"Taoist Friend Shen, that up ahead is the Myriad Spirits marketplace. The scale of this Heaven Venerable Conference is even bigger than the last one. It’s just unknown whether the Li Family’s Heaven Venerable will participate."

The man in the green robe pointed ahead and said in a booming voice.

Heaven Venerable Qinghao, Mahayana Mid Stage.

After leaving the Wu Family, Shen Long and Chu Buyu headed straight for Jinya Realm and encountered Heaven Venerable Qinghao on their way.

"During the last Heaven Venerable Conference, the Li Family’s Heaven Venerable also participated. I suppose it’s no exception this time!"

Shen Long speculated.

Every hundred thousand years or so, the Myriad Spirits Sect would host the Heaven Venerable Conference, inviting Mahayana Cultivators to attend, and the great cultivators from the Li Family would also be present.

"Taoist Friend Lin, it’s been many years. You still haven’t ascended to the Late Stage?"

A pleasant and delightful female voice came from the horizon.

No sooner had the voice finished speaking than a purple Escape Light appeared in the distant sky and, with a flash, came to a halt, revealing a lotus platform shimmering with purple light on which stood a graceful girl in a purple skirt.

The girl in the purple skirt had skin as white as snow and her eyes were lively and expressive.

"Oh? It’s been a while, Fairy Murong."

Upon seeing the girl in the purple skirt, Heaven Venerable Qinghao greeted her.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, let me introduce you. This is Purple Lotus Heaven Venerable, Fairy Murong, and this is Beastmaster Heaven Venerable, and next to her is Taoist Friend Shen’s companion."

Heaven Venerable Qinghao introduced.

"Beastmaster Heaven Venerable? You must be Taoist Friend Shen. I’ve long admired your reputation. I heard you killed Heaven Venerable Qingyang. I didn’t expect to meet Taoist Friend Shen here."

Purple Lotus Heaven Venerable said with a mild, pleasant smile.

"Fairy Murong overpraises me. If we’re talking about fame, you are the truly famous one."

Shen Long replied solemnly.

Purple Lotus Heaven Venerable possessed a body of ten thousand poisons and was proficient in venomous arts, had slain Heaven Venerables in battle, and had been famous for many years. In terms of fame, Shen Long truly couldn’t compare to Purple Lotus Heaven Venerable.

"It’s nothing but an empty title. This is not the place for conversation; let’s talk more inside the marketplace!"

Purple Lotus Heaven Venerable suggested.

Shen Long nodded in agreement, and the four of them flew forward, pausing after a short while.

A giant tree reaching tens of thousands of feet into the sky entered their line of sight, its branches lush and thick, and on it were numerous constructions bustling with Cultivators walking about.

"So this is the Myriad Spirits Tree!"

Chu Buyu nodded to himself.

The Myriad Spirits marketplace was built upon a Myriad Spirits Tree that was several millions of years old. The Myriad Spirits Tree was still growing; a tree of such age could be used to refine Xuantian Treasures without issue, and establishing a marketplace on it showed how immense the strength of the Myriad Spirits Sect truly was.

They stowed their flying treasures and approached the base of the Myriad Spirits Tree.

On the thick long branches above, numerous buildings could be seen, with many Cultivators in motion.

Several branches extended and hung down to the ground, falling at their feet.

Shen Long naturally stepped onto one of the emerald green branches, which slowly rose up.

They found themselves on a spacious and clean street with many buildings on either side, and the sight of various Heterodox Cultivators could be seen.

A medium-statured youth in a green shirt hastened over, bowed to Purple Lotus Heaven Venerable, and said, "Junior pays his respects to Elder Murong. My teacher has been waiting for some time and asked me to invite you as soon as I saw Elder Murong."

"Taoist Friend Lin, Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, I’ll first meet with an old friend. We’ll chat later."

After exchanging greetings, Purple Lotus Heaven Venerable left with the youth in the green shirt.

Heaven Venerable Qinghao parted ways with Shen Long. Shen Long and Chu Buyu started to stroll leisurely down the street.

There were many fine items here, with some weapon shops displaying multiple Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures. Eighth Rank Puppet Beasts and Eighth Rank Talismans could also be seen, of course, these items were not to be settled with Top Grade Spirit Stones, but through bartering goods.

On their way here, Heaven Venerable Qinghao had introduced the situation in the Myriad Spirits marketplace to them. Many powerful forces conducted business here, and Heaven Venerable Qinghao himself had established a shop, entrusting his Disciples to manage it and collect resources.

After around half an hour, they had finished browsing this street. Shen Long and Chu Buyu hadn’t seen anything appealing, so they proceeded to its end.

Using his finger as a brush, Shen Long wrote a "易" (Trade) character on the thick tree trunk.

One of the branches dropped a thick root that fell at their feet.

They stepped onto the root, which quickly contracted and lifted them up to a large branch above. Here, there was a vast Green Stone Plaza with many small stalls, their wares varied and plentiful, and the presence of many Mahayana Cultivators was apparent.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu walked around, hoping to find something that could help resolve the bottleneck of a Mahayana Cultivator’s progression, as such items were exceptionally rare.

Currently in the Mahayana Mid Stage, Chu Buyu had been cultivating for tens of thousands of years with no slight advancement in her Cultivation, and was also stuck at a bottleneck.

Suddenly, she quickened her pace and headed towards a small stall. The stall owner was a tall and skinny elder in purple robes, and the stall was adorned with a variety of ores.
