Chapter 1158: 1062 leading the team into battle

The Tianyue Sect is still unaware of Shen Long and Chu Buyu’s ascension to the Golden Immortal Phase, and the Myriad Beasts Sect has strictly sealed off the information.

"Who did the Tianyue Sect send to relay the message?"

Chu Buyu asked.

"Ye Qingyu! They want us to send twenty True Immortal cultivators to join forces with the Ziyang Sect against the Golden Pig Tribe."

Mo Bingbing said.

"Master, I volunteer to lead the team."

Su Changfeng immediately stepped forward with the request.

Soldiers are nurtured for a thousand days, only to be used in an instant; the Myriad Beasts Sect is now thriving militarily.

The last recruitment by the Tianyue Sect was over two hundred thousand years ago. At that time, the Myriad Beasts Sect scarcely had any True Immortal cultivators, but after two hundred thousand years of development, the number of True Immortal cultivators in the sect has exceeded a hundred, and their forces are formidable.

"I will personally lead the team. At this moment, there’s no need to conceal our strength anymore. I want to seize this opportunity to expand our territory."

Shen Long said solemnly.

"Husband, let Shen Lin and the others stay on Myriad Beasts Island. I’ll go with you to join the expedition!"

Chu Buyu suggested.

Shen Lin, Shen Ao, Shen Fu, and others had all ascended to the Golden Immortal Phase, and the Myriad Beasts Sect was now exceedingly powerful.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Assemble the elites. We will teleport to Ziyang Sect immediately to discuss battle preparations."

In the Cultivation Realm, strength dictates authority. To gain more benefits, one must possess sufficient power.

This time, Shen Long could have chosen to simmer down and lay low again, but that would only lead to meager rewards.

"Master Nephew Mo, assemble twenty True Immortal cultivators and accompany us to the Ziyang Sect."

Chu Buyu instructed.

"Understood, Master Aunt Chu."

Mo Bingbing complied.

······

Ziyang Sect, Ziyang Hall.

Sun Xi and Lin Cen were seated at the main seats,

while Lin Heng, Chen Lang, and Han Xia, along with more than thirty True Immortal cultivators, sat on either side, their expressions solemn.

"The Tianyue Sect has summoned us again to counter the Golden Pig Tribe. Qingxu Temple and the Ximen Family are also taking action against the subordinate forces of the Heavenly Ghost Sect—they’ve already started fighting."

Han Xia said.

This would surely alert the Golden Pig Tribe.

"This time, let me lead the team! I hope the battles don’t drag on too long."

Lin Cen proposed.

"Senior Brother Lin, let me lead the team this time instead!"

A loud and resonant male voice rang out.

As the voice fell, a burly man clad in a blue shirt walked in.

"Senior Brother Qin, you’ve ascended to the Mid-Stage Golden Immortal Phase!"

Sun Xi exclaimed in surprise, sensing the aura of the blue-shirted man.

"I’ve just exited seclusion. Upon hearing of the Tianyue Sect’s summons, I want to lead the team this time. I could use some action."

The blue-shirted man declared.

Qin Jiang had been in seclusion, cultivating, and had only come out recently.

"Alright, Senior Brother Qin will lead the team. I’ll manage personnel in the rear and provide support to the frontlines as needed."

Lin Cen said.

Lin Heng retrieved a shimmering blue Law Disk, activated a spell, and a surprised glint flickered through his eyes.

"Master Uncle Lin, Senior Shen and Senior Chu from the Myriad Beasts Sect have just arrived, and they’ve ascended to the Golden Immortal Phase."

Lin Heng reported.

"What? They’ve ascended to the Golden Immortal Phase?"

Sun Xi expressed her surprise.

It had been only two hundred thousand years since the last summons by the Tianyue Sect, yet Shen Long and Chu Buyu had managed to ascend to the Golden Immortal Phase—such rapid cultivation progress was astonishing.

She naturally didn’t know that Shen Long and Chu Buyu had spent several hundred thousand years cultivating on the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower—it wasn’t merely two hundred thousand years.

"Quickly, invite them over. With two additional Golden Immortal cultivators, our pressure will be significantly reduced."

Lin Cen instructed.

Lin Heng nodded and skillfully manipulated the Law Disk.

Before long, Shen Long and Chu Buyu entered.

"I am Lin Cen. Congratulations to Taoist Friend Shen and Madame Chu for ascending to the Golden Immortal Phase."

Lin Cen cupped his hands and said.

"I am Qin Jiang, representing the Ziyang Sect to lead the charge against the Golden Pig Tribe."

Qin Jiang’s voice boomed.

"Taoist Friend Lin, Taoist Friend Qin, we’ve only recently achieved the Golden Immortal Phase. As per the Tianyue Sect’s directive, we are here to collaborate with the Ziyang Sect against the Golden Pig Tribe."

Shen Long spoke with a gentle tone.

Lin Cen invited Shen Long and Chu Buyu to sit and said, "Based on the intelligence we have, the Golden Pig Tribe has at least eight Golden Immortal cultivators and three key islands—Golden Pig Island, Shichuan Island, and Qingqi Island. Each of these islands has Golden Immortal cultivators stationed, with Golden Pig Island being the most critical."

"My team will attack Shichuan Island; your team can assault Qingqi Island. What do you think?"

Shen Long suggested.

Upon hearing this, Lin Cen, Qin Jiang, and Sun Xi were momentarily stunned.

In their initial plan, minimal effort was sufficient—they didn’t need to take undue risks. Yet Shen Long seemed determined with his ambition to seize Shichuan Island outright.

Lin Cen quickly assessed. The Myriad Beasts Sect’s territory was relatively small, and it was apparent Shen Long aimed to expand it.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I recognize the strength you and Madame Chu possess. However, the Golden Pig Tribe boasts a long legacy and formidable power. Shichuan Island is protected by a Second Rank Immortal Array and Golden Immortal cultivators. Relying solely on the two of you, it’s impossible to secure Shichuan Island. Let’s jointly attack Qingqi Island instead."

Qin Jiang suggested.

"We are intent on assaulting Shichuan Island. Your team can lead the charge on Qingqi Island."

Shen Long was unwavering.

Shen Chan had also ascended to the Golden Immortal Phase, and with his assistance, Shen Long was confident in capturing Shichuan Island.

Lin Cen, Sun Xi, and Qin Jiang were taken aback by Shen Long’s resolve; they could clearly tell he was adamant about the assault on Shichuan Island.

"Since Taoist Friend Shen has made up his mind, so be it. Junior Brother Lin and Junior Sister Sun, you will lead the team to attack Qingqi Island."

Lin Cen said gravely.

He felt Shen Long was overly ambitious, but since persuasion was futile, he chose to let it go.

"Agreed, then. Let’s finalize the timing for the operation."

Shen Long said.

He needed the Ziyang Sect to shoulder some of the burden; if they simply stood by, it would be significantly harder for Shen Long and Chu Buyu to conquer Shichuan Island.

Lin Cen nodded and began detailed discussions with Shen Long.

After more than an hour, they reached a consensus, and Shen Long and Chu Buyu departed Ziyang Island with over twenty True Immortal cultivators.

Qin Jiang and Sun Xi led over fifty True Immortal cultivators off Ziyang Island to assault Qingqi Island.

Besides that, the subordinate forces of the Ziyang Sect and the Myriad Beasts Sect mobilized to attack the subordinate forces of the Golden Pig Tribe.

······

Profound Yin Island, Heavenly Ghost Sect.

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

"Five subordinate forces of the Tianyue Sect attacked our subordinate forces without any warning."

Liu Ling frowned and stated.

Over two hundred thousand years ago, multiple subordinate forces of the Tianyue Sect targeted the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s subordinate forces, and the Wei Family’s ancestral ground on Xuanyan Island was wiped out by a mysterious expert—there were no survivors.

Now, the Tianyue Sect has instigated war again, leaving their motives unclear.

"Could Fairy Jinhua be hiding within the territories of these five subordinate forces?"

Chen Yin asked darkly.

Two Golden Immortal cultivators of the Heavenly Ghost Sect had traveled to the Ancient Cloud Continent to investigate Fairy Jinhua and Qian Long’s origins. They uncovered that Fairy Jinhua possessed a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact—Bodhi Bead—which could assist immortals in comprehending laws.

Fairy Jinhua had cultivated three laws to the Small Accomplishment Stage while in the True Immortal Realm, and the Bodhi Bead was instrumental in her success.

As for Qian Long, no information could be found about him.

"It’s a possibility we can’t rule out. Contact those five forces immediately and demand any significant treasures they possess be handed over to us. They’ll be treated handsomely in return. Also, have Xu He investigate which subordinate force is truly targeted by the Tianyue Sect."

Ning Chu instructed.

"Understood, Sect Leader Senior Brother."

Chen Yin and Liu Ling replied in unison.
