Chapter 1096: 1004 Qingxuan Order

Xuanyan Island, the ancestral land of the Wei Family.

In Xuanyan Garden, a medium-built man in a golden robe sat within a green stone pavilion, flanked by two identical-looking men standing respectfully.

"Silai, has your Information Hall still not identified the murderer of Sinan?"

The man in the golden robe frowned and asked.

Wei Chengyang, Golden Immortality Early Stage.

"Ancestor Chengyang, after extensive investigation, we only know they entered Nine Stars Island during the time the Tianyue Sect offered a high bounty for the capture of Xuan Ghost Elder. Many True Immortal cultivators gathered on Nine Stars Island, and eventually, Han Kelong from the Han Family located and killed Xuan Ghost Elder."

A tall, thin young man in a blue shirt cautiously replied.

A pale scholar dressed in white retrieved a glowing white law disk, injected a spell into it, made some adjustments, and frowned deeply.

"Ancestor Chengyang, Golden Spirit Immortal Milk appeared during the Azure Dragon Law Assembly. The owner exchanged it in the Tianbao Linglong Tower for a high-rank Divine Soul cultivation technique. Five drops were traded, but we don’t know by whom."

The scholar in white reported, handing the law disk to Wei Chengyang.

The Wei Family had a Golden Immortal whose Divine Soul suffered severe damage and remained unhealed. The Heavenly Ghost Sect possessed Immortal Pills and Elixirs capable of treating soul wounds but would not offer them to the Wei Family without significant merit.

"Golden Spirit Immortal Milk!"

Wei Chengyang furrowed his brows, glanced at the law disk, and sighed lightly.

"Without major accomplishments, the Heavenly Ghost Sect won’t provide us with the Immortal Elixirs to cure soul wounds. We’ll have to rely on ourselves instead. Siyuan, assign more personnel to gather soul-healing Immortal Elixirs. By the way, has there been anything unusual regarding Ziyang Sect?"

Wei Chengyang said slowly.

"Nothing unusual at Ziyang Sect. Oh, by the way, after the Qian Family wiped out the Ning Family, the Myriad Beasts Sect took over the Ning Family’s territory. I’ve heard that Ye Shenglong of Tianyue Sect strongly supports the Myriad Beasts Sect, and relations between Ziyang Sect and Myriad Beasts Sect are quite favorable as well."

Wei Siyuan reported honestly.

He was the head of the Wei Family and naturally well-versed in such matters.

"Myriad Beasts Sect? Was its founder a Golden Immortal?"

Wei Chengyang asked curiously.

"No, just a True Immortal. Rumor has it they are Ascenders who chose to establish their own sect rather than join the Tianyue Sect,"

Wei Siyuan replied.

"A sect founded by True Immortals alone is not worth worrying about. But still, we should plant some spies. Silai, I’ll entrust this task to you."

Wei Chengyang instructed.

"Understood, Ancestor Chengyang."

Wei Silai promptly agreed to handle the matter.

······

Myriad Beasts Island, Myriad Beasts Garden.

Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and Shen Lang sat within a green stone pavilion. The table before them was laden with various items collected from their enemies.

Among the bounty from five True Immortal cultivators were over eight thousand Immortal Yuan Stones, fourteen bottles of First Rank Immortal Pills, three First Rank Immortal Talismans used for assisting in law comprehension, two sets of low-grade Immortal Artifacts, and fourteen individual low-grade Immortal Artifacts. There was also a Gold Jade Pendant capable of weakening the effects of illusion techniques.

The most precious find was a First Grade Dao Pill imbued with the Gravity Law, obtained through an exchange involving a True Spirit Core with the leading Evil Cultivator. Shen Long handed the Dao Pill to Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao had long followed Shen Long and contributed greatly to his cause.

Already having mastered the Earth Law, Shen Xiao could greatly enhance his strength by also grasping the Gravity Law.

"Is this an identity token?"

Shen Lang asked curiously, pointing to a square-shaped green token.

The token had the characters "Qingxuan" inscribed on the front and floral patterns etched on the back.

"I’m not sure. It was found in a Storage Bracelet abandoned for tens of thousands of years after they hunted and killed True Immortal cultivators. Its origins remain unknown even to them,"

Shen Long remarked.

He picked up the Qingxuan Order, carefully examined its lightweight material, and infused it with Immortal Yuan Power.

Instantly, the Qingxuan Order emitted a dazzling green light, from which a green beam shot forth and transformed into a virtual image of a stern-looking elder clad in a green robe.

The green-robed elder’s image remained motionless and said nothing.

"This token seems to be a symbol of authority, or perhaps a key to entering somewhere,"

Chu Buyu speculated.

"We’ll keep the Gold Jade Pendant and Qingxuan Order for now. The remaining Immortal Artifacts can be dealt with by you. Who knew she had mastered the Qi Law—that’s why she has been able to keep up with us,"

Shen Long said, retaining the valuable artifacts while entrusting Shen Lang with surplus ones to sell piecemeal on the black market.

"Thankfully, the Tianyue Sect hasn’t publicized the materials we turned over. If we had revealed any resources tempting to a Taiyi Golden Immortal, our opponents would surely not have been mere True Immortal cultivators, but Golden Immortals themselves."

Chu Buyu’s face displayed a lingering sense of dread.

Shen Long nodded and replied, "Ultimately, our strength is far too weak. Although this time the enemies were manageable, the next time might be different. We need to close off and focus intensively on cultivation, practicing the Green Lotus Tempering Divine Secret Manual. Shen Lang, dispatch people to collect Xuanyu Yuan Soul Ginseng. If we can master Divine Sense Secret Techniques and Divine Soul Secret Techniques, our power will grow significantly."

"No problem, leave it to me,"

Shen Lang readily agreed.

"Let’s rename the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method to ’Heavenly Soul Method.’ For now, don’t allow Wang Changyao to cultivate it. Assess her allegiance first. If she truly contributes to our Myriad Beasts Sect, then she may be permitted to practice it."

Chu Buyu suggested.

Currently, the top figures in Myriad Beasts Sect were Shen Long, Chu Buyu, Su Changfeng, and Shen Lang. Wang Changyao had only recently joined the sect and hadn’t yet proven herself. Shen Long and Chu Buyu were understandably cautious about trusting her completely.

Shen Long nodded in agreement as well. Providing Wang Changyao with a cave dwelling, Immortal Artifacts, cultivation techniques, and resources would require her to make significant contributions in return before granting access to the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method.

"By the way, have Chu Yun and Lin Lianzhong investigate the origins of the Qingxuan Order,"

Shen Long instructed as a thought struck him.

"No problem, I’ll inform them personally,"

Shen Lang promised.

After chatting for a while, Shen Lang left.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu entered a Practice Room before heading into the Myriad Beasts Tower, reaching its ninth level’s Myriad Beasts Hall.

Shen Long walked into an Alchemy Room to refine Peacock Pills, while Chu Buyu went to a Practice Room for cultivation.

Should Shen Long cultivate the Myriad Beasts Immortal Scripture to its fifteenth level, he would master another great Divine Skill.

Both the Five-Color Divine Light and the Five-Color Spirit-breaking Immortal Light were immensely powerful techniques, but the Five-Color Divine Light proved more practical.

In terms of physical resilience alone, Shen Long could currently withstand an individual low-grade Immortal Artifact but could not endure sets of them. Mastering the Five-Color Divine Light would eliminate the threat posed by full sets of Immortal Artifacts.

Shen Long sat cross-legged atop a red meditation mat, composed and adjusting his breathing.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shen Long opened his eyes, retrieved materials, and began refining pills.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Green Lotus Cauldron flew out, landed on the floor, and opened its mouth, releasing the Qinglian True Flame which settled beneath the cauldron.

Shen Long gradually threw ingredients into the Green Lotus Cauldron, sealing the lid closed.

He focused intently, closely monitoring the interior conditions with his Divine Sense.

Inside the Green Lotus Cauldron, the Essence Blood of the Five-Colored Peacock condensed into a miniature peacock, flying chaotically within.

Under the intense heat, the miniature peacock’s movements grew progressively sluggish, and nearby Immortal Elixirs melted into pools of liquid.

As time passed, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out from the Green Lotus Cauldron as Shen Long manipulated the liquid into multiple clusters using his Divine Sense.

These clusters spun slowly, shedding impurities.
