Chapter 1157: 1061 Enlightenment Stele’s shadow effect

"The ’Taiyi Yuan Soul Method’ is widely circulated in the Green Lotus Immortal Domain. Many factions possess incomplete versions of the method, but acquiring the complete ’Taiyi Yuan Soul Method’ is not an easy task."

Chu Buyu said.

Shen Long nodded and replied, "This time at the auction, I managed to procure quite a few materials for alchemy and artifact refining."

He took out a green storage bracelet and handed it to Chu Buyu.

After chatting for a while, Shen Long entered a practice room and proceeded to the Myriad Beasts Hall within the Myriad Beasts Tower.

He walked into an alchemy room and sat cross-legged on a red meditation mat.

With a slight shake of his sleeve, the Qianyang Cauldron shot out and landed on the ground.

Chu Buyu had already upgraded the Qianyang Cauldron to a middle-grade immortal artifact, significantly increasing Shen Long’s pill refining efficiency.

He opened his mouth, releasing the Qinglian True Flame, which settled under the cauldron. The room’s temperature rose sharply, and mysterious runes began to emerge on the stone walls.

Shen Long tossed the Primordial Soul Flower and over a hundred auxiliary herbs into the cauldron, then covered it with the lid.

Under the intense heat, the Primordial Soul Flower and auxiliary herbs quickly melted into liquid, releasing a faint medicinal fragrance from the cauldron.

······

Profound Yin Island, the headquarters of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

Xuanmei Garden—Ning Chu, Chen Yin, and Liu Ling sat in a green stone pavilion, engaged in conversation.

"Qian Long? A Dao Pill Master?"

Chen Yin’s face was full of curiosity.

"Yes, according to what he said, he’s from the Ancient Cloud Continent, but he didn’t disclose which faction he belongs to."

Liu Ling said.

If he were just an ordinary Golden Immortal Cultivator, he naturally wouldn’t attract their attention. However, being a Dao Pill Master was a completely different matter.

"Have Xu He keep an eye on this individual. My concern is that he might have ties to Fairy Jin Hua. The Tianyue Sect just started searching for Fairy Jin Hua, and now, shortly after, a Dao Pill Master from the Ancient Cloud Continent appears in the Glazed Sea Domain—such a coincidence, isn’t it?"

Ning Chu said with a frown.

Qian Long’s sudden appearance seemed too well-timed—neither before nor after—but precisely while the Tianyue Sect was searching for Fairy Jin Hua.

"Understood. I’ll assign someone to inform him to monitor Qian Long’s activities."

Chen Yin agreed.

Ning Chu brought out a glowing gold law disk and infused a spell into it, his brow furrowed as he instructed, "Junior Sister Liu, send Junior Brother Xu and Junior Brother Chen to the Ancient Cloud Continent to investigate both Fairy Jin Hua and Qian Long. Make this search our top priority."

"What happened? Senior Brother Ning, why are we suddenly taking this matter so seriously?"

Liu Ling asked with a perplexed expression.

"The five followers of the Green Lion Immortal Sovereign intended to target Qian Long. Since then, all contact has been lost. A Golden Immortal Cultivator who happened to pass by the scene confirmed that the five met their demise."

Ning Chu said grimly.

"Did the Golden Immortal Cultivator personally witness Qian Long killing the five of them?"

Liu Ling was skeptical.

"Not outright. The passerby had been trailing them, likely to ambush and rob them for their gains. As for how they confirmed that the five were slain by Qian Long, that remains unclear—they sold the information to the Golden Immortal Cultivators we’re supporting."

Ning Chu explained.

This alone demonstrated that Qian Long possessed considerable strength.

"Qian Long is only in the early stage of Golden Immortality, yet he managed to eliminate five followers of the Green Lion Immortal Sovereign in a short span. That’s remarkable—this individual is definitely not ordinary."

Chen Yin’s voice was heavy.

"I will immediately contact Junior Brother Xu and Junior Brother Chen and have them travel to the Ancient Cloud Continent to gather intelligence."

Liu Ling agreed without hesitation.

······

Time flew by, and a hundred thousand years passed.

Myriad Beasts Island, Myriad Beasts Garden.

Chu Buyu, Shen Yuqing, and Shen Yuhong sat in a green stone pavilion, engaged in discussion.

"Not bad. You’ve already cultivated the laws to minor achievement this quickly."

Chu Buyu praised.

Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhong had comprehended laws before the Enlightenment Stele, spending over a hundred thousand years to each grasp two laws.

Shen Yuqing comprehended the Fire Law and Sword Law; the Fire Law reached minor achievement, while the Sword Law remained at the entry level.

Shen Yuhong comprehended the Fire Law and Sword Law; the Sword Law reached minor achievement, while the Fire Law remained at the entry level.

"If not for the Enlightenment Stele, we wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this level of cultivation."

Shen Yuqing said with a smile.

With the help of the Enlightenment Stele, not only was comprehending the laws significantly easier, but the cultivation of the laws themselves also progressed rapidly.

They had studied the records on law cultivation by True Immortal Cultivators, and achieving minor achievement in a law within a hundred thousand years was nearly impossible.

Even for True Immortal Cultivators who consumed Third Grade Dao Pills, it would be highly challenging to cultivate a law to minor achievement within such a timeframe.

"Right! No wonder Father and Mother never mentioned the existence of the Enlightenment Stele to us."

Shen Yuhong said excitedly.

"Good that you understand the stele’s value. Don’t spread its existence; this treasure is essentially the foundation of our Myriad Beasts Sect."

Chu Buyu said with pride.

"Indeed! With this treasure in hand, comprehending laws is undoubtedly much more convenient."

A cheerful male voice rang out.

As the speaker arrived, Shen Long approached with a radiant smile.

Shen Peng had spent over a hundred thousand years in the Enlightenment Pavilion to comprehend laws, successfully grasping the Divine Soul Law—one of the ten Supreme Laws.

The Divine Soul is fundamental to all living beings; when destroyed, one truly perishes.

Thus, Shen Peng’s strength had grown exponentially.

"Husband, you’ve exited seclusion."

Chu Buyu beamed with joy.

"Congratulations on exiting seclusion, Father. At last, I’ve cultivated the Fire Law to minor achievement."

Shen Yuqing stood enthusiastically, full of pride.

"Father, I’ve cultivated the Sword Law to minor achievement."

Shen Yuhong also stood and declared.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Very good. It seems both of you have worked diligently on your cultivation."

Chu Buyu withdrew a red-glowing Transmission Immortal Mirror and infused it with a spell. On the mirror’s surface appeared Su Changfeng’s face, adorned with a wide smile.

"Master Mother, I’ve cultivated the Fire Law to minor achievement during my time in the Myriad Spirits Tower."

Su Changfeng said excitedly.

Currently in the late stage of True Immortality, Su Changfeng had been able to use the Enlightenment Stele’s projection in the Myriad Spirits Tower near the Myriad Beasts Peak to help comprehend laws.

The first five levels of the Myriad Spirits Tower correspond to the Five Elements Laws, with higher levels offering more advanced laws. However, the tower remains temporarily closed to outsiders. Only Shen Long’s disciples—Su Changfeng, Qin Yuying, and Wang Rui—have access to comprehend laws inside the tower.

Yuan Rui, Mo Bingbing, Wang Changyao, and others lacked such privileges—not due to Shen Long being stingy, but because he was still gauging the effectiveness of the stele’s projection for law cultivation.

"Changfeng, come to the Myriad Beasts Garden; I need to ask you something."

Shen Long instructed.

Upon hearing Shen Long’s directive, Su Changfeng immediately accepted.

Chu Buyu put away the Transmission Mirror and said, "Changfeng spent over two hundred thousand years to cultivate the Fire Law to minor achievement. It seems the Enlightenment Stele’s projection is not as effective as the original stele."

"That’s comparing it to the original stele; other treasures aiding in law comprehension are far less powerful."

Shen Long responded with laughter.

Before long, Su Changfeng appeared, visibly thrilled.

"Disciple pays respects to Master, Master Mother, Junior Sister, and Junior Brother."

Su Changfeng bowed deeply in greeting.

Having Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhong as Shen Long’s children made Su Changfeng their senior in terms of sect hierarchy.

"Dispense with formalities and tell me about your experiences cultivating the Fire Law."

Shen Long commanded.

Su Changfeng obliged, recounting his journey in comprehending and cultivating the Fire Law.

He had spent over two hundred thousand years to achieve minor accomplishment in cultivating the Fire Law—a feat he never would have imagined in the past.

"What about Yuying and Wang Rui? Have they still not exited seclusion?"

Shen Long asked.

"No, or else I would have accompanied them here."

Su Changfeng replied truthfully.

Shen Long nodded, preparing to speak further when Chu Buyu withdrew another red Transmission Immortal Mirror, infused it with a spell, and Mo Bingbing appeared on the mirror’s surface.

"Master Aunt Chu, the Tianyue Sect has issued another summons. We are to cooperate with the Ziyang Sect to deal with the Golden Pig Tribe."

Mo Bingbing reported solemnly.
