Chapter 1049: 958 Qinglian Casket acquired

"Taoist Friend Shen, what just happened?"

Qianhuo Heaven Venerable asked, puzzled.

If Shen Long had ill intentions, he could have slain them just now.

"There was a True Spirit skilled in the art of concealment hiding near the Jiuguang Jade Cage fruit tree. I’ve captured it, and the problem is resolved,"

Shen Long explained.

"Taoist Friend Shen, is she also a True Spirit?"

Luo Xue Heaven Venerable said with some disbelief.

It is already terrifying enough for a Heaven Venerable to possess a True Spirit, let alone Shen Long having three? That’s incredibly frightening.

Shen Long nodded and urged, "Let’s hurry up and pick the Jiuguang Jade Cage fruits!"

Considering Shen Long’s terrifying strength, Qianhuo Heaven Venerable and the other two were very sensible, only taking two Jiuguang Jade Cage fruits each. The rest were for Shen Long, who generously gave five to each, establishing a good rapport.

Shen Long laid down a Formation and, with the help of magical artifacts, transplanted and took away the Jiuguang Jade Cage fruit tree.

"We really owe it to Taoist Friend Shen this time, or else we would have had no way..."

Qianhuo Heaven Venerable had not finished speaking when a deafening explosion came from afar.

Shen Chan’s eyes shone with golden light as he frowned and said, "Master, it’s Senior Brother Wu, he’s being chased and killed."

"Let’s hurry over to assist Senior Brother Wu."

Shen Long said solemnly, never expecting that Yuling True Monarch would be in the Heaven Venerable Tomb.

He turned into a beam of Escape Light and shot through the sky, with Chu Buyu, Shen Chan, and the others quickly following.

A huge golden light soared into the sky, piercing the clouds, very eye-catching.

The golden light had not yet dissipated when a Nascent Soul, identical to Yuling True Monarch, flew out in three dimensions, its expression one of panic.

"Think you can escape by self-destructing a Xuantian Treasure? Wishful thinking."

A cold and unfeeling female voice sounded.

As soon as the voice fell, the Void Fluctuated, and a large hand flickering with green light appeared, slapping towards Yuling True Monarch.

At that moment, a golden lightning bolt lit up in the void, and Shen Long appeared, his golden wings covered with golden arcs of electricity.

He opened his mouth and spat out a thick arc of golden lightning, shattering the green hand.

"Be careful, Junior Brother Shen, she possesses the Wane Duoti, and her poison skills are formidable,"

The Nascent Soul spoke out to warn, its tone weak.

Shen Long flicked his sleeve and took in the Nascent Soul of Yuling True Monarch.

The golden light faded, revealing a slender woman in a green dress, substantially larger than a human, with green skin and golden hair.

"Junior Brother? Hmph, makes no difference when I kill."

The tone of the woman in the green dress was cold as her right index finger lightly tapped towards Shen Long.

A piercing sound rang out as a green rainbow shot forth, ripping open the void and leaving a thick crack in its wake.

Shen Long’s golden wings fluttered slightly, vanishing from his spot.

The next moment, Shen Long appeared behind the woman in the green dress, holding the Suppressing Spirit Staff and slamming it towards her.

The woman in the green dress reacted swiftly, with a string of green beads on her chest shining brightly, emitting a thick green light screen that protected her whole body.

At the same time, she raised her right hand, and a short knife flickering with green light shot out towards Shen Long.

Shen Long was not intimidated in the least, his left fist surged with massive arcs of golden electricity, colliding with the incoming weapon.

With a "clang," the green flying dagger was repelled.

The Suppressing Spirit Staff landed on the green light screen, which shattered. The staff smashed the woman in the green dress into mush, and her body lit up with a dazzling green light, turning into a flashing green Round Bead.

With a muffled sound, the green Round Bead burst, and the woman in the green dress appeared in the void miles away.

Just as she reappeared, a gust of wind blew from behind her. Shen Jiu appeared and spat out a blue aurora, enveloping the woman in the green dress.

The woman in the green dress tried to dodge when an icy female voice sounded beside her ear, "My dear, you might as well surrender quietly! At least you’ll be left with an intact corpse."

Upon hearing this, the woman in the green dress’s gaze became dull.

The blue aurora fell on the woman in the green dress, and a Nascent Soul that looked very much like her flew out of her body and was swallowed by Shen Jiu.

He searched the body for valuables and then consumed the corpse.

Chu Buyu and others quickly arrived, and the three from Qianhuo Heaven Venerable did not find it surprising.

Shen Long’s body radiated bright Spiritual Light, separating from Shen Peng. Shen Peng found the body of Yuling True Monarch on the ground as well as a green Storage Bracelet.

He took up the Storage Bracelet and collected the body of Yuling True Monarch.

"Taoist Friend Shen, what shall we do next?"

The Green Phoenix Heaven Venerable asked.

"Let’s leave here first,"

Shen Long said.

It’s inconvenient with outsiders present.

Qianhuo Heaven Venerable nodded, and they left the place.

Three days later, they left the tomb of Heaven Venerable and appeared in the Myriad Spirits Realm.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I have pressing matters to attend to, so I won’t stay long. If there’s ever anything you need from me, feel free to ask."

After Qianhuo Heaven Venerable said this, he bid farewell and left.

Luo Xue Heaven Venerable and Green Phoenix Heaven Venerable also bid farewell and left. Chu Buyu brought out the Qianhuo Boat, carrying them as they flew into an underground cavern.

Before long, a vast amount of yellow fog surged up from the ground, covering a radius of ten thousand miles.

Inside the cave, Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and Shen Jiu stood on the ground with Shen Long holding a green jade box, which had a green lotus carved on its surface.

"Master, Senior Brother Wu obtained this object and was hunted down for it, ultimately self-destructing the Profound Jade Blade, even his Life-Bound Spirit Beast was slain."

Shen Jiu spoke.

"Qinglian Casket?"

Shen Long muttered to himself.

The Chili Clan was ordered by the Immortal Realm Clan to search for the Qinglian Casket.

He carefully observed it, opened his mouth and spouted Qinglian True Flame, which fell upon the green jade box.

A quarter of an hour passed, the green jade box was unscathed, untouched.

Shen Long placed the box on the ground, swung the Suppressing Spirit Staff, and smashed it onto the green jade box.

The booming sound roared, the green jade box sunk deep into the ground without a scratch on its surface.

"Indeed, it’s the Qinglian Casket, haha, I didn’t expect that this object would be in the tomb of Heaven Venerable and was obtained by Senior Brother Wu," Shen Long said excitedly.

He took out the Yuling True Monarch’s Nascent Soul and asked, "Senior Brother Wu, how did you enter the tomb of Heaven Venerable?"

"A good friend of mine found the Zouhua Cave of Xuan Moon Heaven Venerable and was invited to enter the tomb of Heaven Venerable to seek treasure. We barely broke through the restrictions and fought off a Different Clan Mahayana Cultivator. All my other friends were killed by her. If I hadn’t run into you, I would have perished as well," the Nascent Soul slowly said.

"We will refine a suitable body for you. You can seize it and cultivate anew, and with some time, you can restore your cultivation," Shen Long said.

"Master, the Different Clan individual who attacked Senior Brother Wu is a guest elder of the Xingyue Clan. She, along with several Mahayana Cultivators, entered the tomb of Heaven Venerable to seek treasure. Triggering a powerful restriction, only she survived, and she incidentally discovered Senior Brother Wu and his companions, taking advantage of her superior strength to kill them," Shen Jiu slowly said.

"Xingyue Clan!" Shen Long’s eyebrows furrowed. The Xingyue Clan, on par with the Li Family, was powerful with Daluo Golden Immortals in the Immortal Realm.

"Taoist Friend Ning and the others didn’t see this person, so there’s a low chance that the news has leaked, but to be cautious, we should still leave this place and return to the Qianling Sect as soon as possible," suggested Chu Buyu.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Let’s set off immediately. With the Jiuguang Jade Lantern Fruits, we can overcome our bottlenecks, ascend to the Mahayana Late Stage, and after passing the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations we can ascend to the Immortal Realm."

He took the Yuling True Monarch’s Nascent Soul and they all left the place.

······

Xingyue Realm, Xingyue Continent.

The Xingyue mountain range lays in the central part of the Xingyue Continent, stretching for trillions of miles, the cradle of the Xingyue Clan.

Deep within the mountains, one could spot many cultivators with silver hair and silver eyes, larger in stature than the Human Clan; these were the Xingyue Clan.

A serene estate, its signboard read "Star Moon Garden" in big characters.

A voluptuous woman in a silver dress and another in a gold dress sat in a green stone pavilion within, discussing something.

"A descendant of the Chu Family appeared in the Tianhua Realm? Have people been sent there?" the woman in the silver dress asked.

Yue Hong, at the Mahayana Late Stage.

The woman in the golden dress nodded and replied, "People have already been dispatched. Hopefully, we can capture the descendant of the Chu Family."

Yue Yan, at the Mahayana Middle Stage.

She took out a law disk shining with spiritual light, input a spell, and furrowed her brow: "The Life-Bound Lamp of Wane Duoti Heaven Venerable has been extinguished."

"She was just a guest elder. If she’s dead, she’s dead. We’ll recruit another one. What our Xingyue Clan has no shortage of are Heaven Venerables. As soon as we put out the word, countless Heaven Venerables will come to join us," Yue Hong said nonchalantly.

"I’m worried that she fell at the hands of the Chu Family’s or the Wu Family’s descendants. Send someone to investigate! Regardless of who killed her, we cannot let it slide," Yue Yan said, her face filled with murderous intent, by the end.

Yue Hong nodded and said, "You take the lead! I’m preparing to pass the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations and go to the Immortal Realm. I leave the matters of the Lower Realm to you. Continue to send people to search for the descendants of the Wu and Chu Families and see if that object is in their hands."

"Yes, Great Elder," Yue Yan agreed without hesitation.
