Chapter 1068: 977 enters Nine Stars Island

In Qingyun Garden, Ye Qingli and a tall, thin elder in a golden robe were sitting in a green stone pavilion, chatting leisurely over tea.

"Taoist Friend Han, I didn’t expect you to be interested in the Wei Family’s territory too!"

Ye Qingli was somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, the Wei Family’s territory is not small, our Han Family hopes to take over their territory, and I hope for your assistance, Taoist Friend Ye."

The elder in the golden robe spoke earnestly.

Han Kelong, True Immortal Late Stage.

"Many forces have their eyes on the Wei Family’s territory, but the Sect Master Uncle has decreed that whoever eliminates the Mysterious Ghost Senior, will take over the Wei Family’s territory."

Ye Qingli said.

"Taoist Friend Ye doesn’t know where the Mysterious Ghost Senior is hiding?"

Han Kelong frowned as he spoke.

"The area of Nine Stars Island is not small, how would I know where the Mysterious Ghost Senior is hiding? What I can confirm is that he was injured by Senior Sister Xu."

Ye Qingli explained patiently.

Han Kelong’s brows furrowed, just about to say something, when a soft sound of footsteps interrupted him, and Shen Long and Chu Buyu walked in.

"Oh, Taoist Friend Han, you’re here too."

Upon seeing Han Kelong, Shen Long gave a light exclamation.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, are you also here for the Wei Family’s territory?"

Han Kelong asked, puzzled.

"We are still unaware of the situation, we came to consult with Taoist Friend Ye."

Shen Long explained.

Ye Qingli invited them to sit down and briefly recounted the situation.

"I only know that the Mysterious Ghost Senior has fled to Nine Stars Island, but as for where he is hiding, I’m unaware. Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, here’s a map of Nine Stars Island I’ve collected; I hope it will be of help to you."

Ye Qingli took out a map, labeled with the golden words "Nine Stars Island."

"Taoist Friend Ye, why did the Jade Xiang Five Ghosts attack the Wei Family? I heard it was instigated by the Heavenly Ghost Sect, is that true?"

Shen Long inquired further.

If it was instigated by the Heavenly Ghost Sect, Shen Long was reluctant to get involved.

"The Jade Xiang Five Ghosts are only True Immortal Cultivators. The Heavenly Ghost Sect wouldn’t regard them highly; they had an old enmity with the Wei Family. Hearing that the Wei Family had obtained the True Spirit Core of a True Immortal Realm True Spirit, they made their move, but their information was incorrect; the Wei Family friend had already exchanged the True Spirit Core for a First Grade Dao Pill to comprehend the Law."

Ye Qingli explained.

"Taoist Friend Ye, what about the Divine Skills of the Mysterious Ghost Senior? How did he escape?"

Chu Buyu asked.

"The Green Jade Slip recorded the Divine Skills and treasures of the Mysterious Ghost Senior. His escape was aided by a first level Immortal Talisman, the Seven Stars Transformation Immortal Talisman, which created a false body to deceive Junior Brother Liu and others, though he was severely injured. He possesses the Cultivation of True Immortal Middle Stage with entry-level mastery in Laws; think carefully before taking action."

Ye Qingli took out two green jade slips, handing them to Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

Upon scanning them with their Divine Sense, their faces showed thoughtful expressions.

Engaged in cultivation in the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower, with the aid of the First Grade Dao Pill, they had reached entry-level mastery in the Law of Fire, while Shen Peng, Shen Mei, Shen Jiu, and others had advanced to the True Immortal Realm.

The outside world also knew they had reached entry-level mastery in Law Cultivation. Shen Long and Chu Buyu externally explained it was by relying on the Heavenly Moon Talisman, a reasonable explanation.

"Taoist Friend Shen, there are many restrictions on Nine Stars Island, how about we cooperate? If we eliminate the Mysterious Ghost Senior, we can share the Wei Family’s territory?"

Han Kelong suggested.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Taoist Friend Han, but we plan to rely on ourselves."

Shen Long tactfully refused.

They were only in the True Immortal Early Stage, while Han Kelong was in the True Immortal Late Stage. It sounded nice to cooperate, but once Mysterious Ghost Senior was found, who knew if Han Kelong might turn on them.

"Alright! Let’s each rely on our own abilities then."

Han Kelong stated in a deep tone.

"You should set off quickly. To my knowledge, many True Immortal Cultivators have entered Nine Stars Island already; taking over the Wei Family’s territory means becoming a subordinate force of our Tianyue Sect, and many True Immortal Cultivators are interested."

Ye Qingli reminded.

Shen Long and two others agreed, taking their leave.

No sooner had they left than Ye Qingyu emerged from a secluded courtyard.

"It’s not surprising that Taoist Friend Han is interested in this matter, but I didn’t expect Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu to be interested as well,"

Ye Qingyu remarked, a curious expression on her face.

Ye Qingli nodded and said, "I just mentioned it casually; I didn’t expect them to actually dare to target Xuan Ghost Master. Truly fitting for Ascenders, but I wonder if they really have the ability to find Xuan Ghost Master. Master Uncle Liu and others are also in contact with some True Immortal Cultivators, so we’ll see who can eliminate Xuan Ghost Master."

This time, as the Wei Family’s territory became vacant, many True Immortal Cultivators set their sights on it, and the smaller groups within the Tianyue Sect hoped it would be taken over by their own people.

"I hope it’s not a True Immortal close to Master Uncle Liu who eliminates Xuan Ghost Master. When Master Uncle Liu and Sect Master Uncle reported the auction profits, Master Uncle Qin and Aunt Master Xu were also present. Master Uncle Qin told Ancestor Tian Hua about it, but Master Uncle Liu did not mention Yun Qing obtaining a piece of Taiyi Tungsten Crystal, focusing instead on the merits of Master Uncle Liu and Senior Brother Liu."

Ye Qingyu said somewhat discontentedly.

"That’s normal too, but the fact that Yun Qing acquired a piece of Taiyi Tungsten Crystal is recorded in writing; Master Uncle Liu can’t erase that."

Ye Qingli said.

After a bit of idle chat, Ye Qingyu took her leave.

In Qingpeng Pavilion, Shen Long and Chu Buyu were discussing something.

"This time is an opportunity for us, with a piece of territory. We can establish our own sect. Disciples of Qianling Sect who ascend to the Immortal Realm can join the sect we establish."

Shen Long declared.

"The Xuan Ghost Master has been heavily injured and is not to be feared. The problem lies in those restrictions."

Chu Buyu frowned and said.

"Shen Chan has ascended to the True Immortal Realm, with his help, there should be no problem, and we also have the map provided by Taoist Friend Ye. We can give it a try; after all, Xuan Ghost Master only mastered the beginner level of the Earth Law, nothing to be feared."

Shen Long spoke solemnly.

The Five Elements Law is a common law and the most prevalent; most immortals cultivate according to the Five Elements Law.

Knowing the laws, divine skills, and treasures of the Xuan Ghost Master made Shen Long and Chu Buyu willing to make a move.

They left Qingpeng Pavilion and headed directly out of the marketplace.

Upon exiting the marketplace, Chu Buyu shook her sleeve, and a flying boat shimmering with red light shot out.

A lower-grade flying immortal artifact, the Mysterious Fire Boat!

Shen Long shook his sleeve, and Shen Chan flew out from the Spirit Beast Bracelet, joining them aboard.

Chu Buyu pinched a spell, and the Mysterious Fire Boat lit up with a red glow, shooting up into the sky and quickly disappearing at the horizon.

Nine Stars Island, located at the border between the territories of Tianyue Sect and Heavenly Ghost Sect, allows True Immortals from both powers to enter Nine Stars Island to treasure hunt, though many True Immortal Cultivators who enter never return.

As news of Xuan Ghost Master fleeing to Nine Stars Island spread, numerous True Immortal Cultivators entered in search of him.

Half a month later, the Mysterious Fire Boat came to a halt.

"Is this Nine Stars Island?"

Chu Buyu asked with a solemn expression.

Following her gaze, one could see a vast island that hardly differed from a continent, with copious black fog floating above it and visible rifts of various lengths in the void.

"We should be cautious. Shen Chan, it’s all up to you,"

Shen Long said.

Shen Chan responded affirmatively, his eyes emitting a dazzling golden light.

Under his command, Chu Buyu steered the Mysterious Fire Boat forward at a cautious pace.

As the Mysterious Fire Boat approached within a dozen li of Nine Stars Island, it slowly descended due to a no-fly restriction.

Before long, the Mysterious Fire Boat landed in an open area on Nine Stars Island, not far from a vast green bamboo forest.

"This bamboo forest is safe; we can go through it,"

Shen Chan declared.

Chu Buyu stored away the Mysterious Fire Boat, and the three of them walked toward the bamboo forest, disappearing among the trees.
