Chapter 1050: 959 Crossing the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations (none left for today)

Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Qianling Sect.

In a secluded manor, Mo Bingbing and Su Changfeng sat inside a green Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

"Junior Brother Shen’s fame is growing by the day. Cultivators from the True Spirit Noble Family of the Mahayana Realm came to visit personally, a pity that Junior Brother Shen has traveled afar and it’s uncertain when they will return. Speaking of which, it has been many years since our master has left and we do not know his whereabouts."

Mo Bingbing said.

Yuling True Monarch, having traveled abroad for many years without word, was a source of some concern for Mo Bingbing.

"Senior Brother Wu is not weak; he shouldn’t be in any danger. Senior Sister Mo, please rest assured!"

Su Changfeng said.

A red Escape Light streaked across the sky, flashing and appearing above the manor.

The light receded to reveal a red Flying Boat, with Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and a tall golden-robed youth standing aboard.

"Junior Brother Shen, Junior Sister Chu, you have returned so quickly."

Mo Bingbing expressed her surprise.

She had thought that it would take tens of thousands of years for Shen Long and Chu Buyu to return, yet they were back in less than a century. That was far too quick!

"There was an unexpected incident. Senior Brother Wu encountered a powerful adversary; his physical body was destroyed, and even his Life-Bound Spirit Beast was killed."

Shen Long spoke.

"Fortunately, I encountered Junior Brother Shen and Junior Sister Chu, or else I would have perished."

The golden-robed youth sighed; he was indeed Yuling True Monarch.

Shen Long had refined a new body for him for possession. It would take time for him to re-cultivate.

"Master is now undergoing resurrection through possession? Whatever resources are required, I’ll get them from the treasure vault right away."

Mo Bingbing said.

"Now that we’ve returned to Qianling Sect, it’s safe. Junior Brother Shen, Junior Sister Chu, you go on with your tasks. You should select an appropriate location to transcends the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations!"

Yuling True Monarch said.

"We can wait to transcend the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations after Senior Brother Wu has regained his Cultivation."

Shen Long said.

After a brief chat, Shen Long handed over the Nine-Light Jade Cage Fruit Tree and dozens of Nine-Light Jade Cage Fruits to Mo Bingbing, and he and Chu Buyu returned to Golden Roc Peak.

"I originally thought this trip would take tens of thousands of years. I didn’t expect to obtain the Nine-Light Jade Cage Fruits that could resolve my bottleneck so quickly, and we even found the Qinglian Casket."

Chu Buyu said with a smile.

Shen Long nodded: "The Qinglian Casket must be an item of Immortal origin. Despite all my methods, I simply cannot open it. Let’s wait for Senior Brother Wu to restore his Cultivation before we transcend the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations!"

After chatting for half an hour, Shen Long entered a Practice Room and sat on a red cushion, closing his eyes to rest his spirit.

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air, then took out a Nine Orifices Daofruit Pill and put it into his mouth.

Shen Long hoped to reach Great Perfection in his Spirit Domain before ascending to the Immortal Realm.

······

Jinya Realm, Myriad Spirits marketplace.

Within Myriad Spirits Garden, Xu Dong and Li Yunqing sat together in a green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

"The Xingyue Clan has sent people to investigate the news about Wanye Heaven Venerable? What happened? Isn’t Wanye Heaven Venerable a distinguished visiting elder of the Xingyue Clan?"

Li Yunqing asked, puzzled.

"It’s unclear. There are two possibilities. One, Wanye Heaven Venerable has defected and taken something significant from the Xingyue Clan—though this likelihood is slim; or two, Wanye Heaven Venerable is dead, possibly at the hand of the descendants of the Wu Family or Chu Family."

Xu Dong speculated.

"The Chu Family! The Wu Family!"

Li Yunqing knitted her brows, then after a moment of contemplation, instructed: "Taoist Friend Xu, send someone to check on the whereabouts of Wanye Heaven Venerable. Something that can alarm the Xingyue Clan must not be ordinary."

"Alright, I’ll issue the command now."

Xu Dong agreed.

······

Twenty thousand years passed swiftly, in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot.

Qianling Sect, Golden Roc Peak.

Chu Buyu, Su Changfeng, Yuling True Monarch, and Mo Bingbing were seated in a green stone pavilion, engaged in conversation.

After over twenty thousand years of secluded cultivation, Yuling True Monarch re-cultivated to the Mahayana Realm, but his life-bound spirit beast was killed, causing a heavy blow to his cultivation, making him fall from the mid-Mahayana stage to the early Mahayana stage.

He had already chosen a new powerful bloodline spirit beast as his life-bound beast to cultivate, and cultivating it to the eighth rank, he had hopes of recovering to the mid-Mahayana cultivation.

If it were any other Mahayana Cultivator, whose physical body was destroyed, they would not recover to the Mahayana Realm so quickly. The Qianling Sect’s power is formidable, and with Su Changfeng personally assisting in refining a variety of miracle elixirs for Yuling True Monarch’s consumption and supporting his cultivation, he was able to recover so swiftly.

"Has Senior Brother Wu recovered his cultivation? Congratulations!"

A hearty male voice rang out.

No sooner had the voice faded, Shen Long emerged from the Golden Roc Pavilion, his face brimming with smiles.

"Junior Brother Shen, when do you plan to transcend the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations? Have you chosen the location yet?"

Yuling True Monarch asked.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu each consumed a Nine Radiance Jade Cassia Fruit and successfully resolved their bottleneck, ascending to the late Mahayana stage.

"Master, your disciple has already cultivated the Spirit Domain to great achievement."

Su Changfeng reported.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Very well, with that, we can be at ease transcending the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations. The location has been selected, let’s head there now!"

Chu Buyu summoned the Qianhuo Boat and stepped on board, with Shen Long and the others following closely behind.

With a single spell cast, the Qianhuo Boat shone with a dazzling red light, turning into a blurred image before disappearing into the sky.

In less than half a day, the Qianhuo Boat slowed to a stop above a continuous stretch of verdant mountain ranges.

"The Shadow Continent? You’re planning to transcend the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations here? Can it really be on the Human Clan’s territory?"

Yuling True Monarch said with some concern.

"Based on the clues we’ve gathered, ascending from here should land us in a Great Immortal Domain dominated by the Human Clan."

Shen Long spoke, his expression serious.

Heaven Venerable Wan E had the opportunity to peruse some of the Xingyue Clan’s collected scriptures. More than 500,000 years ago, a Mahayana Loose Cultivator from a different clan ascended to the Immortal Realm from here, falling into the Human Clan’s domain and was killed by a True Immortal of the Human Clan.

This True Immortal’s journey took him outside, where he was slain by a True Immortal of the Xingyue Clan. The Xingyue Clan’s True Immortal performed a Soul Search and learned about this, cautioning the lower realm clansmen by sharing the incident.

"The Great Immortal Domain?"

Yuling True Monarch expressed in surprise.

Shen Long nodded and said, "The Cultivation Resources in the Great Immortal Domain are abundant, it’s better to land in the Great Immortal Domain."

With another change in her spell, Chu Buyu made the Qianhuo Boat gently touch down.

They took out the Formation Flags and Disks and distributed them to Yuling True Monarch and the other two, preparing for the tribulation transcendence.

Half a day later, after multiple adjustments, they confirmed that the Formation was properly set up.

Shen Long stood in an open area, while Chu Buyu and the four others stood at a distance.

As Shen Long pinched a spell, spiritual light emanated from his body, lightning flickered, and thunder roared high above, turning the previously clear sky dark with dense clouds, and fierce winds brewed, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

A massive cluster of nine-colored thunderclouds appeared above Shen Long’s head, churning and rolling, and large amounts of nine-colored lightning arcs were visible, their presence formidable.

Following a burst of thunder, a thick bolt of nine-colored lightning slashed through the sky, like a giant nine-colored thunder spear carrying with it an aura of world-shattering power, heading straight for Shen Long.

He took out a four-colored Array Plate that was flickering with spiritual light, injected a spell into it, and thousands of strands of spiritual light burst forth from the ground, converging into one place, forming into a giant four-colored light barrier, enveloping him within.
