Chapter 1142: Making mistakes is only natural.

He put away the Myriad Beasts Tower, came to the door of a Practice Room, and sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Not long after, the door opened, and Chu Buyu came out.

"Husband, have you ascended to the Golden Immortal Phase? Did you undergo Tribulation Transcendence inside the Myriad Beasts Tower? What kind of Immortal Thunder did you attract?"

Chu Buyu, filled with joy and surprise, threw out several questions.

Shen Long nodded: "I attracted nine strands of four-colored Celestial Lightning. Fortunately, we obtained a considerable number of Five-Thunder Mysterious Sesame Fruit from the Tianchen Tomb, and the set of Immortal Artifacts you refined with Green Thunder Bamboo. Plus, with Shen Peng’s help, I managed to successfully get through the Heavenly Tribulation."

Without these conditions, Shen Long would have found it difficult to pass the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Nine strands of four-colored Celestial Lightning? It really is as the classics say, a True Immortal who has mastered the Supreme Laws faces a more powerful Heavenly Tribulation when breaking through to the Golden Immortal Phase."

Chu Buyu commented with emotion.

"Indeed! If it weren’t for us obtaining the Five-Thunder Mysterious Sesame Fruit, I wouldn’t have hurried to break through to the Golden Immortal Phase."

Shen Long said in a deep voice.

The Five-Thunder Mysterious Sesame Fruit is an Immortal Fruit that all Golden Immortal Cultivators yearn to acquire; possessing a single fruit makes it much easier for Golden Immortal Cultivators to pass the first two minor Heavenly Tribulations.

"It’s good that you’ve ascended to the Golden Immortal Phase, husband. Our pressure has eased a lot. By the way, there was an unexpected development in that matter."

Chu Buyu smiled brightly as she explained the situation in detail.

"What about Lin Wu, who was in contact with Liu Yuhai? Didn’t Liu Yuhai cause her any trouble?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"She is the deputy head of the Information Hall. After leaving Liu Yuhai’s residence, she entered a teahouse, used a Silver Moon Immortal Shadow Talisman to create a false body, returned to her residence, changed her real appearance, and left the Heavenly Moon marketplace. I personally escorted her back to Myriad Beasts Island and let her enter seclusion for Cultivation. Liu Yuhai kept sending people to watch her, and after the incident, he even went to find her, but Lin Wu had already left."

Chu Buyu explained slowly.

The Information Hall, led by Chu Yun and Lin Lian, developed many spies. Some spies lived year-round in the Heavenly Moon marketplace, befriending True Immortal Cultivators to earn their trust, of which Lin Wu was one.

"How many people know Lin Wu’s true identity?"

Shen Long pressed further.

"So far, only you, I, Shen Lang, Chu Yun, and Lin Lian know Lin Wu’s true identity. Chu Yun kept in contact with Chu Yun alone, and their contact frequency is negligible. To be cautious, I also recalled Chu Yun back to Myriad Beasts Island."

Chu Buyu stated.

"It’s quite a coincidence that a Heavenly Ghost Sect Disciple was also on Nine Stars Island."

Shen Long wondered.

"That part is unclear. I heard from Taoist Friend Ye that the Xuanming Clan was finding an excuse to deal with the Tianyue Sect, but the truth is unknown."

Chu Buyu explained.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Wife, you should go to the tenth layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower to cultivate! A new Enlightenment Stele has appeared, inscribed with the Three Thousand Laws, making it much easier to comprehend the Laws."

"What? Inscribed with the Three Thousand Laws?"

Chu Buyu was full of shock.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Yes! I didn’t expect such a situation either."

In contrast to the tenfold time flow of the ninth layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower, the Enlightenment Stele on the tenth layer is even more precious.

A Third Grade Dao Pill can cause True Immortal Cultivators to fight to the death, and Shen Long, having ascended to the Golden Immortal Phase and comprehending the Laws in front of the Enlightenment Stele, found it quite easy. If this information were to spread, even the Taiyi Golden Immortals would be tempted and might trample down Myriad Beasts Island easily.

"I’ll first retreat to cultivate and attempt to break through to the Golden Immortal Phase! The burden of the Myriad Beasts Sect shouldn’t rest entirely on your shoulders, husband."

Chu Buyu’s expression was solemn.

Shen Long nodded and led Chu Buyu into the Myriad Beasts Hall within the Myriad Beasts Tower.

Chu Buyu entered a Practice Room and began her seclusion cultivation.

Shen Long took Shen Lie and others to the tenth layer, directing them to comprehend the Laws around the Enlightenment Stele.

After exiting the Myriad Beasts Tower, Shen Long summoned Shen Lang and instructed, "Keep a close watch on the conflicts among the Xuanming Clan, the Tianyue Sect, and the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Increase our vigilance; the Tianyue Sect might go to war with the Tianyue Sect."

"I’ve been doing that all along. Should we spread the news of your ascension to the Golden Immortal Phase?"

Shen Lang asked.

"No need, keep it a secret."

Shen Long refused.

To outsiders like Ye Qingli and others, Shen Long had ascended to the Immortal Realm less than 300,000 years ago, so advancing to the Golden Immortal Phase so quickly would certainly draw the attention of major powers.

In reality, Shen Long had spent over 600,000 years cultivating from a True Immortal to a Golden Immortal, having passed two minor Heavenly Tribulations, whereas Disciples prioritized by the Tianyue Sect cultivate much faster, as they don’t have to worry about Cultivation Resources.

"Understood."

Shen Lang nodded and got up to leave.

······

Heavenly Moon Island, Profound Moon Garden.

Zhao Yang, Xu Hao, and Han Lei sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

"The Xuanming Clan has gone too far, do they really think we are pushover? At worst, we can join forces with the Nangong Family to fight against the Xuanming Clan and the Heavenly Ghost Sect together."

Han Lei said in a deep voice.

Liu Yuqian and six True Immortal Cultivators entered Nine Stars Island treasure hunting, reportedly discovering a Golden Immortal Cultivator’s Zouhua Cave, and just as they broke the restrictions, True Immortal Cultivators from the Xuanming Clan arrived, leading to a big fight.

The Tianyue Sect Disciples had the advantage until True Immortal Cultivators from the Heavenly Ghost Sect suddenly emerged, shifting the battle’s tide. Liu Yuqian and Liu Yang fought desperately to break through, while four Tianyue Sect Disciples were killed.

Liu Yuqian and Liu Yang returned to the marketplace and promptly reported to their Sect.

"I feel this situation is not simple. The appearance of True Immortal Cultivators from the Heavenly Ghost Sect on Nine Stars Island likely indicates that Xu He tipped them off. As for the True Immortal Cultivators from the Xuanming Clan, it might have been Lin Wu’s co-conspirators who informed them. Our men went to Lin Wu’s residence and didn’t find her. In the Practice Room, they found a pool of poisonous blood, so she seems to have been poisoned to death."

Xu Hao frowned and said.

If Lin Wu was found, everything would become clear, but they couldn’t find her.

"If she wasn’t poisoned to death, then the Golden Immortal Cultivator’s cave was a setup to provoke us against the Xuanming Clan. It’s strange that the Xuanming Clan didn’t see through it; they keep targeting us, and this time they even sent a Golden Immortal Cultivator to injure Sister Han."

Zhao Yang wondered.

The informant, Lin Wu, was nowhere to be found; she was known as a Loose Immortal, living in the Heavenly Moon marketplace for over 100,000 years.

"Yes! I also find it odd. Our Disciples captured some True Immortal Cultivators from the Xuanming Clan and performed a Soul Search on them. They knew nothing, just that they were ordered to target the Tianyue Sect."

Xu Hao was baffled.

The Xuanming Clan’s leadership kept the news of Xuan Hao’s death under wraps. Not just the upper echelons of the Tianyue Sect, even within the Xuanming Clan, not many knew that Xuan Hao had perished and his Dao had dissipated.

This led to the Tianyue Sect feeling targeted by the Xuanming Clan, with the latter doing so to vent anger.

"Given this situation, Xu He will undoubtedly gain more trust from the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Our plan needs to change; there’s no need to stage a play anymore. We should quietly circulate the news that the Zouhua Cave they were looking for contains Fourth Grade Dao Pills, which greatly assist Golden Immortal Cultivators in comprehending Laws. Deploy Golden Immortal Cultivators to confront the Xuanming Clan’s Golden Immortal Cultivators."

Zhao Yang instructed.

In his plan, spanning hundreds of thousands of years and utilizing considerable manpower and resources, they were to fabricate a conflict between the Tianyue Sect and the Heavenly Ghost Sect, with Xu He providing intelligence to the latter, thereby gaining more trust. In the future, they would use Xu He to send false information, causing great loss to the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

With this unexpected situation, the Tianyue Sect no longer needed to act. It would take too long and could easily be exposed. Instead, they should use this matter as a backdrop to resolutely confront the Xuanming Clan, solidifying the rumor about the Fourth Grade Dao Pills.

"Fourth Grade Dao Pills? Will the Heavenly Ghost Sect buy it? Even Dao Alchemists in the Glazed Sea Domain find it hard to refine Third Grade Dao Pills."

Han Lei expressed some concern.

"The inability to refine Fourth Grade Dao Pills doesn’t mean the Glazed Sea Domain can’t have them. They could be from other Golden Immortal Cultivators. Isn’t the Immortal Clan’s Li Family offering a high bounty for the Golden Immortal Cultivator Xuan Luo Demon Venerable? It’s heard that he took several Fourth Grade Dao Pills, so claim that he was gravely injured and fled to Nine Stars Island to heal, only to die there."

Zhao Yang instructed.

Xu Hao nodded, "No problem, that can be arranged. I just wonder if the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s leadership will believe it."

"They have no idea what resources were taken by Master Nephew Liu and Master Nephew Liu in the chaos. As long as those two didn’t fall into their hands, whatever we say it is, it is."

Zhao Yang was dismissive.

In the chaos, Liu Yuqian and Liu Yang took some treasures from the Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Dwelling, all resources meant for True Immortal Cultivators.

"That’s true, I’ll get to it right away."

Xu Hao agreed, accepted the order, and went off.
