Chapter 1147: 1051 The Function of the Enlightenment Stele

"By the way, husband, did you get the Essence Blood of the Golden Immortal Realm True Spirit Devouring Immortal Cicada?"

Chu Buyu asked with concern.

"Got it from Jin Qianqian, or strictly speaking, from Madam Wu."

Shen Long briefly explained the situation.

"Jin Qianqian sitting alongside Wu Rongrong? That suggests they aren’t in a subordinate relationship."

Chu Buyu analyzed.

"That I don’t know. Madam Wu didn’t mention it, and I didn’t ask. By the way, here’s this Second Rank Immortal Flame for you. It should significantly improve your efficiency in Artifact Refining going forward."

Shen Long took out a golden jade vial and handed it to Chu Buyu.

Chu Buyu didn’t refuse and accepted the golden jade vial.

They arrived at the tenth layer and saw a lofty Sky-Supporting Peak piercing the clouds. At the base of the mountain, there was a hundred-zhang-tall green stone stele engraved with the words "Enlightenment Peak."

A green stone staircase stretched from the foot of the mountain up to its summit, where there was a massive green square spanning thousands of acres. At the heart of the square stood the Enlightenment Stele.

Around the Enlightenment Stele, numerous green meditation mats were neatly laid out. Shen Mei and Shen Xiao sat on the mats, their eyes slightly closed.

Shen Mei was enveloped in a golden radiance, while Shen Xiao was shrouded by a yellow glow.

"Master, I’ve cultivated the Thunder Law to minor achievement!"

Shen Peng approached, speaking excitedly.

He had been cultivating the Thunder Law near the Enlightenment Stele, spending over a hundred thousand years to reach minor achievement.

"Impressive! Where are Shen Jiu and Shen Lin?"

Shen Long inquired.

"They’ve also cultivated one law to minor achievement. Cultivating laws before the Enlightenment Stele yields twice the results with half the effort."

Shen Peng replied enthusiastically.

He had mastered both the Thunder Law and Strength Law, but currently, only the Thunder Law had reached minor achievement, while the Strength Law was still at the introductory stage.

"What? They also cultivated one law to minor achievement?"

Chu Buyu was astonished.

From what she knew, Han Tiancheng had consumed a Third Grade Dao Pill containing Strength Law and spent hundreds of thousands of years before cultivating Strength Law to minor achievement.

The Qianluo Twin Fiends had consumed Third Grade Dao Pills and spent a million years to cultivate two Special Laws to minor achievement.

This showed that even with the assistance of Third Grade Dao Pills, cultivating a Special Law to minor achievement required at least hundreds of thousands of years.

Shen Peng, Shen Jiu, Shen Ao, and others had not consumed Third Grade Dao Pills, yet by enlightening before the Enlightenment Stele, they had reached minor achievement in a single law within just over a hundred thousand years. This demonstrated that the Enlightenment Stele greatly enhanced an immortal’s efficiency in Law Cultivation.

"Indeed, Master, Mistress, in addition to this, comprehending cultivation techniques, manuals, or skills near the Enlightenment Stele also significantly boosts efficiency."

Shen Peng added.

Upon hearing this, Shen Long and Chu Buyu both unknowingly revealed expressions of surprise.

As the owner of the Myriad Beasts Tower, Shen Long still hadn’t figured out the specific functions of the Enlightenment Stele nor how to activate the Myriad Beasts Tower.

"This is excellent. If I study Immortal Puppets refining here, my efficiency should also improve."

Chu Buyu’s eyes gleamed as she spoke excitedly.

"It seems the Enlightenment Stele enhances sentient beings’ comprehension, making it far more valuable than the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower."

Shen Long spoke heavily.

If news of the Enlightenment Stele’s capabilities spread, it would undoubtedly drive countless immortals to madness.

With the Enlightenment Stele, the Myriad Beasts Sect could nurture True Immortals with minor achievement in laws with ease. For now, Shen Long didn’t intend to take that step.

"Yu Ling, can the Enlightenment Stele be moved?"

Shen Long asked.

Shen Yuling emerged. As the Artifact Spirit of the Myriad Beasts Tower, she could appear immediately upon Shen Long’s summons.

"No! But its projection of the Three Thousand Laws can be externalized and placed at a designated location."

Shen Yuling replied.

"Externalize the projection of the Three Thousand Laws? Can the location be specified?"

Shen Long questioned further.

"Yes!"

Shen Yuling nodded.

"Madam, you’ve just ascended to the Golden Immortal stage. Take some time to cultivate quietly!"

With those words, Shen Long exited the Myriad Beasts Tower.

He took out a red-glowing Transcendent Mirror and activated a spell. Mo Bingbing’s image appeared on the mirror.

"Uncle Shen, you’ve finally emerged."

Mo Bingbing smiled brightly; she already knew Shen Long had ascended to the Golden Immortal stage.

"Send people to construct a treasure pagoda for secluded cultivation. Make it 108 floors. Locate it near the Myriad Beasts Peak."

Shen Long instructed.

"Alright, I’ll send people to handle it immediately."

Mo Bingbing agreed swiftly.

Shen Long nodded and put away the Transcendent Mirror.

With Chu Buyu’s ascension to the Golden Immortal stage, much of Shen Long’s burden had eased. He had already succeeded in cultivating the sixteenth layer of the Beast Immortal Scripture and mastered a unique divine skill tied to the Devouring Immortal Cicada.

The Green Lotus Tempering Divine Secret Manual, the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method, and the Chronicles of Immortal Age had all been cultivated to the fourth layer, granting him new divine skills.

Currently, with no major conflicts in the Glazed Sea Domain, Shen Long could focus on cultivation and further improve his strength.

He entered the Myriad Beasts Tower and headed to an alchemy room within the Myriad Beasts Hall.

Shen Long planned to refine Dao Pills. His success rate for refining First Grade Dao Pills was already high, so he decided to attempt refining Second Grade Dao Pills.

After meditating for half an hour to optimize his condition, he began refining Dao Pills.

With a flick of his sleeve, a red-glowing cauldron furnace emerged and landed on the floor.

He methodically added ingredients to the cauldron, then sealed its lid.

Shen Long opened his mouth, releasing the Qinglian True Flame onto the bottom of the red cauldron furnace, swiftly raising the temperature in the room.

······

In Heavenly Ghost Marketplace, established by the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

The streets were bustling and noisy with throngs of pedestrians and carriages.

Within a tranquil manor, a plaque was inscribed with the words "Xuan Yan Garden."

Wei Laiyue and a tall, thin elder clothed in red robes sat together in a green stone pavilion, deep in conversation.

"Uncle Tianyan, that’s the full account of events. We’re still unclear who annihilated Xuanyan Island, but there’s strong suspicion pointing toward the Tianyue Sect."

Wei Laiyue sighed heavily.

The Wei Family not only lost all its territories but also suffered catastrophic losses, with merely a tenth of its members surviving, leaving recovery extremely challenging.

"If not the Tianyue Sect, then it’s the Ziyang Sect. One of these two groups is responsible. The Tianyue Sect is formidable, and the two of us are certainly no match for them. However, we might be able to strike the Ziyang Sect."

Wei Tianyan said gravely.

"The Ziyang Sect has a considerable number of Golden Immortal Cultivators and a protective sect array. Launching a frontal attack would hardly succeed, and infiltrating stealthily is equally difficult."

Wei Laiyue frowned.

"I’ve heard that the Myriad Beasts Sect is closely allied with the Ziyang Sect. First, send people to gather intelligence and devise a way to lure out Shen Long and Chu Buyu from the Myriad Beasts Sect. They must be controlled."

Wei Tianyan ordered fiercely.

"That seems like a promising tactic. We’re both at the Golden Immortality Early Stage. Even if we infiltrate the Ziyang Sect’s headquarters, seizing control would be unlikely, especially given the potential threat of multiple Golden Immortal Cultivators."

Wei Laiyue replied anxiously.

"I am fully aware of that. However, after all these years, I still have ties to a few fellow cultivators. I will invite Golden Immortal Cultivators to assist us. You focus on controlling Shen Long and Chu Buyu. We’ll first strike the Ziyang Sect."

Wei Tianyan spoke with murderous intent.

"Understood, Ancestor Tianyan."

Wei Laiyue readily complied and left to fulfill his orders.
