Chapter 1166: 1170 Devouring Immortal Cicada’s news

The cultivators raised their wine cups in return, and the guest representative stepped forward with gifts.

Ye Shenglong gifted thirty thirty-million-year-old immortal elixirs, a batch of artifact refining materials, and a bottle of Dragon Phoenix Pill. The Nangong Family offered twenty thirty-million-year-old immortal elixirs, some refining materials, and a pot of second-rank immortal wine. Ziyang Sect, Ximen Family, Qingxu Temple, and other forces also presented gifts, though not particularly valuable ones.

Shen Long accepted everything, and everyone exchanged cups, engaging in cheerful conversation.

"Today is a joyous day. Our Myriad Beasts Sect is holding a sparring event where True Immortal cultivators can participate. The top ten will receive rewards, with the first place winning a Tianhua Silver Apricot Fruit and a middle-grade immortal artifact."

Mo Bingbing’s voice was not loud, yet it spread throughout the whole venue.

Chu Buyu flicked his sleeve, and a small golden shimmering tower shot out to land in the center of the square.

"Enlarge!"

With a light shout from Chu Buyu, the golden tower suddenly expanded to a height of a hundred meters. The plaque on it read "Golden Glaze Tower" in large characters.

"Master Nephew Li, Master Nephew Lin, haven’t you always wanted to spar with other True Immortal cultivators? Here’s your chance."

Ye Shenglong said with a smile.

More than ten True Immortal cultivators agreed unanimously and stood up to register.

Ziyang Sect, Ximen Family, Qingxu Temple, and Nangong Family sent True Immortal cultivators to partake in the competition. Su Changfeng, Lin Qing, Wang Yunhao, and other True Immortal cultivators also joined. Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhong, being at the True Immortal Early Stage, did not participate.

A hundred plus True Immortal cultivators joined the competition, drawing lots for pair matches.

The participants quickly finished drawing lots and began to enter the Golden Glaze Tower. Those who drew the number one would be on the first floor, those who drew number two on the second floor, and so forth.

The immortals outside the Golden Glaze Tower could clearly see the happenings inside. Mo Bingbing announced the start of the contest, and participants began to make their moves.

Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and other Golden Immortal cultivators started chatting casually, discussing the breach of formations.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, may I ask, how did you break the formations on Shichuan Island and Golden Pig Island?"

Taoist Qingyuan asked curiously.

As those words were spoken, the Golden Immortal cultivators present showed a keen interest.

Given the long heritage of the Golden Pig Tribe, it was incredible that their Clan Protection Formation was breached so easily by Shen Long and Chu Buyu.

"Many years ago, we discovered an Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Dwelling and obtained numerous resources, including five Tianhua Silver Apricot Fruits and two Seven Stars Celestial Ganglia Talismans. Without using the Seven Stars Celestial Ganglia Talismans, which were instrumental, we wouldn’t have easily broken the formations on Shichuan Island and Golden Pig Island."

Shen Long explained.

The Seven Stars Celestial Ganglia Talisman is a Second Rank Immortal Talisman, capable of weakening the power of a Second Rank Immortal Array—it’s a consumable item.

Of course, he didn’t reveal the entire truth as Shen Chan’s existence is a significant secret. If enemies were aware of Shen Chan’s ability, preventative measures would certainly be taken.

The Golden Immortal cultivators present were half-believing the explanation; since Shen Long stated it, they couldn’t easily fault it.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, you’ve been away for hundreds of thousands of years; were you traveling somewhere?"

Wu Feixue asked.

"We traveled to the Ancient Cloud Continent and discovered a Golden Immortal cultivator’s Zouhua Cave there, which helped us ascend quickly to the Golden Immortal stage."

Chu Buyu smiled and explained.

They began to discuss insights from the Ancient Cloud Continent, and Taoist Qingyuan recalled something, saying, "Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, have you heard of the Tianchen Tomb?"

"Tianchen Tomb? Never heard of it. What kind of place is it?"

Shen Long asked in bewilderment.

"It’s the Taoist arena of the elderly Tianchen, which periodically reveals itself spontaneously. It’s said that the Tianchen Tomb appeared on the Ancient Cloud Continent, and many True Immortal cultivators ventured in seeking treasures, yielding significant rewards."

Taoist Qingyuan explained.

"Who is this elderly Tianchen, a Golden Immortal?"

Shen Long questioned.

"No, he’s a Taiyi Golden Immortal with quite a reputation in the Green Lotus Immortal Domain, though he was active many years ago; it’s understandable that Taoist Friend Shen hasn’t heard of him."

Taoist Qingyuan said.

Shen Long showed an enlightened expression as the discussion turned to Tianchen Elder.

After a short time, someone shouted, "Minor Achievement in Law Comprehension!"

Taoist Qingyuan looked up towards the Golden Glaze Tower, witnessing Li Yao being knocked back. Su Changfeng was Li Yao’s opponent.

"Minor Achievement in Law Comprehension! I lost, Taoist Friend Su."

Li Yao showed a sign of admiration.

Both were at the True Immortal Late Stage cultivation, but Su Changfeng had achieved minor comprehension of a law, making Li Yao unable to contest; losing to Su wasn’t disgraceful.

"Well-played, Taoist Friend Li."

Su Changfeng said with clasped fists.

Nangong Ziyang, Ye Shenglong, Wu Feixue, Qin Jiang, and other Golden Immortal cultivators were visibly shocked, well aware of the difficulty for True Immortal cultivators to bring a law to minor achievement.

Even at Tianyue Sect and Nangong Family, there are few True Immortal cultivators able to comprehend laws to minor achievement, all viewed as core investment targets.

This Golden Immortal celebratory event attracted many True Immortal cultivators, yet none had achieved minor law comprehension following.

The Myriad Beasts Sect rose rapidly; despite Shen Long and Chu Buyu slaying seven Golden Immortal cultivators, nobody expected the sect to harbor True Immortal cultivators with minor law achievements.

Su Changfeng led the team in battle without leaving survivors, ensuring outsiders remained unaware of his comprehension achievement regarding the Fire Law.

"Taoist Friend Shen, your disciple is remarkable!"

Ye Shenglong praised.

Qin Jiang, Nangong Ziyang, and several other Golden Immortal cultivators voiced commendations for Su Changfeng, to which Shen Long responded with a serene smile, "Taoist Friends are too kind in your appraisal; Changfeng consumed a Third Grade Dao Pill, spending hundreds of thousands of years, thereby successfully achieving minor comprehension of the Fire Law by chance."

This explanation seemed most plausible, and Shen Long preferred not to reveal the existence of the Enlightenment Stele.

After several rounds of the competition, Su Changfeng smoothly secured first place.

More than an hour later, the celebration concluded, with many guests gradually departing.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu returned to the Myriad Beasts Garden, with Su Changfeng and Mo Bingbing standing nearby, faces beaming with smiles.

"Changfeng, focus on cultivation and aim for True Immortal Great Perfection. Request any needed resources from Master Nephew Mo."

Shen Long’s tone was gentle.

"Yes, Master."

Su Changfeng readily agreed.

Shen Long gave a few pieces of advice before dismissing them.

"After hosting this Golden Immortal celebration, we can devote ourselves to cultivating intensively for a while."

Shen Long spoke solemnly.

He pulled out a Transcendent Mirror shimmering with red light, embedding a spell into it, resulting in a blurry reflection showing Shen Yuqing’s figure.

"Father, Shen Yin has returned, saying there’s crucial news to report to you."

Shen Yuqing stated.

"Bring her to the Myriad Beasts Garden at once."

Shen Long instructed.

Shen Yin followed Shen Lang to explore the Ancient Cloud Continent, investigating information about the Golden Immortal Realm True Spirit Devouring Immortal Cicada’s Essence Blood, remaining uncommunicated till now.

Shen Yuqing agreed, severing the connection.

Soon afterward, Shen Yuqing came over with Shen Yin.

Shen Yin was about to pay respects when Shen Long stopped her, "Let’s skip the formalities and get to the main business!"

"Your Excellency, we’ve gathered intelligence on the Golden Immortal Realm True Spirit Devouring Immortal Cicada, specified in this document, entrusted by Lord Shen Lang, who has now ascended to the Golden Immortal stage."

Shen Yin spoke while producing a golden jade slip for Shen Long.

Shen Long scanned it with Divine Sense, furrowing his brows.

"I’ll dispatch Shen Pixiu and Shen Peng with you to obtain the Essence Blood of the Golden Immortal Realm True Spirit Devouring Immortal Cicada!"

Shen Long declared.

An Immortal of Different Clan had raised a Gold Immortal Realm Devouring Immortal Cicada, already nurturing True Spirit.

Shen Long entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, bringing out Shen Peng and Shen Pixiu, briefly explaining the task.

"Gather with Shen Lin and the others, head to the Ancient Cloud Continent, and retrieve the Essence Blood."

Shen Long directed.

"Yes, Master."

Shen Peng and Shen Pixiu confirmed, leading Shen Yin away.

Shen Peng and Shen Pixiu both mastered a Supreme Law, cultivated in the Myriad Demons to Immortal Scripture, capable of executing Combined Attack Techniques, assuring Shen Long of their competence.

Shen Long walked into a practice room, entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, and arrived in the Myriad Beasts Hall.

He entered a practice room to begin secluded cultivation.
