Chapter 1206: The war ended in 1210

Xuanming Clan, Xuanming Garden.

Xiang Lan, Xiang Li, and Xuan Lang sat in a green stone pavilion as Xuan Hong and Xuan Yu reported the situation to them.

"What? Xuan Guang’s life-bound lamp has gone out?"

Xiang Lan exclaimed in surprise.

"They were killed on the territory of the Tianyue Sect. Our clan doesn’t have a Golden Immortal Phase diviner, so we can’t deduce the whereabouts of their life-bound immortal artifacts. We speculate that they might have encountered the Taiyi Golden Immortal of the Nangong Family."

Xuan Yu analyzed.

Xiang Li and two Taiyi Golden Immortals joined forces to attack Heavenly Moon Island; under these circumstances, the Tianyue Sect could not possibly deploy a Golden Immortal with Great Achievement of Law to deal with Xuan Guang and his party.

There’s no news of any Golden Immortal from the affiliated forces of the Tianyue Sect having achieved Great Achievement in Law Cultivation. Nangong Sihong and Nangong Yujuan attacking Profound Yin Island likely passed through the Tianyue Sect’s territory, so encountering Xuan Guang is not surprising.

"Send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter; we must find out the identity of the murderer."

Xiang Lan instructed.

"Yes, Ancestor."

Xuan Yu agreed, and he and Xuan Hong left.

"What a pity Bai Lin escaped; she actually had an immortal puppet of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Phase, with an aura and divine soul fluctuations identical to her own, making it impossible for us to detect any anomaly."

Xiang Li said in a regretful tone.

"The refining difficulty of immortal puppets is very high. There aren’t any such skilled immortal puppeteers in the Glazed Sea Domain. It’s unclear how she got her hands on one."

Xuan Lang was full of curiosity.

"That’s unclear, although we’ve already destroyed that immortal puppet. But I’m more concerned about Nangong Sihong’s Azure Water Lion Qilin Beast; it actually weakened the power of a Third Rank Immortal Formation. This time, Nangong Daoist attacked and broke through Profound Yin Island, will Xuanming Island be next?"

Xiang Li said with a somber face.

"Indeed! We’ve managed to get a Nine Palaces Formation Breaking Talisman, but it’s been used. As the cultivation of the Nangong Family’s Azure Water Lion Qilin Beast increases, its formation-breaking capacity grows stronger. My concern is, should it advance to become a Divine Beast without being mastered in Dao Technique or Great Achievement of Supreme Laws, we simply won’t be its match."

Xuan Lang agreed deeply.

"We must find a way to eliminate the Azure Water Lion Qilin Beast. The Flying Snow Clan has already been crippled by us; the next target is the Nangong Family. It’s a pity we failed to obtain that piece of Hongmeng Immortal Material this time, but fortunately, the Flying Snow Clan hasn’t cultivated a Hongmeng Immortal Artifact yet."

Xiang Lan frowned.

They killed two Taiyi Golden Immortals and captured a nascent soul for a soul search, learning that the Flying Snow Clan hadn’t yet cultivated Hongmeng Immortal Materials into a Hongmeng Immortal Artifact.

"The evolution of Hongmeng Immortal Materials into Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts takes at least millions, if not tens of millions of years. Errors during the cultivation process make failure not surprising."

Xuan Lang analyzed.

"In the short term, the Flying Snow Clan can’t cultivate a Hongmeng Immortal Artifact, posing limited threat to us. The Nangong Family poses a bigger threat; we need to find a way to eliminate that Azure Water Lion Qilin Beast."

Xiang Lan said solemnly, with a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.

Xiang Li and Xuan Lang both expressed agreement. After chatting for half an hour, they took their leave.

······

Profound Yin Island, Xu Hua, Xu Shan, and a pale-faced gray-robed elder stood atop a high peak, looking gloomily at the ravaged Profound Yin Island.

A team of Heavenly Ghost Sect cultivators was cleaning the battlefield, gathering bodies.

"Old ghost Nangong, this score will first be settled with you."

Xu Hua said grimly.

"First gather our disciples; we’ve lost too much this time."

Xu Shan suggested.

Xu Hua nodded, ordering people to expedite the gathering of corpses.

······

Spring went and autumn came, two years passed.

Myriad Beasts Island, Myriad Beasts Garden.

Qin Yuqing, Qin Yuhong, and Su Changfeng sat in a green stone pavilion while Mo Bingbing was reporting the situation.

"Qingxu Island and Ziyun Island were annihilated by a mysterious expert. Rumors say it was a master from the Heavenly Ghost Sect."

Mo Bingbing reported.

This was false information spread by the Myriad Beasts Sect’s Information Hall to confuse the Xuanming Clan.

"The seven great powers have ceased fire, and in this war, the Flying Snow Clan suffered the greatest losses, followed by the Heavenly Ghost Sect, and then the Tianyue Sect. Our losses were minimal."

Su Changfeng said.

Ziyang Sect and Myriad Beasts Sect jointly attacked the Haili Clan, achieving little success and causing the loss of some True Immortal cultivators, with little to gain.

Qingxu Temple and the Ximen Family suffered severely injured vital energy and were unable to recover it in the short term.

"With such heavy losses, the Heavenly Ghost Sect shouldn’t cause trouble in the short term."

Shen Yuqing analyzed.

"Unexpectedly, while we were away, the seven great powers in the Glazed Sea Domain went to war."

A deep male voice sounded.

As the words fell, Shen Long and Chu Buyu walked in.

"Father, Mother, you’ve returned."

Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhong stood up, their faces full of smiles.

"Master, Mistress, you’re back, that’s great."

Su Changfeng quickly stood up, letting out a long breath.

With Shen Long and Chu Buyu back, they were no longer worried even if the Heavenly Ghost Sect battled the Tianyue Sect.

"We’ve just returned and heard about the war of the seven great powers, but we don’t know much about the situation. Fill us in on the details."

Shen Long instructed.

Mo Bingbing responded and briefly explained the situation.

Shen Yuqing didn’t hide their killing of Xuan Guang, truthfully informing them.

"I’ve already sent Shen Die to the Azure Dragon marketplace to sell some of the treasures from Xuan Guang and the others to the Golden Immortal cultivators of the Nangong Family. If they can’t be sold, they should be destroyed to prevent future troubles."

Shen Yuqing said.

Shen Long nodded contentedly and said, "This approach is indeed prudent. However, this matter remains a hidden danger. Should any news leak, our Myriad Beasts Sect will face trouble, so a contingency plan is necessary."

"Father, are we leaving the Glazed Sea Domain?"

Shen Yuqing was slightly stunned.

"Not necessarily, but we must be prepared, and strengthening ourselves is crucial."

Shen Long said solemnly.

Even if the Myriad Beasts Sect moved elsewhere, conflicts with local forces would arise over resources and territory, after all, resources are limited.

In this war, the Tianyue Sect didn’t suffer much and can still protect the Myriad Beasts Sect.

It’s better to rely on oneself; being strong oneself is better than relying on others.

"You’ve all worked hard, go back and rest! We’re planning to close up for cultivation for a while. If a Golden Immortal cultivator visits, just say we’re in seclusion and have Changfeng entertain them."

Chu Buyu instructed.

Shen Yuqing and the others agreed and retreated.

"The Xuanming Clan lost a Golden Immortal cultivator with Great Achievement of Law; they definitely won’t let it rest. It’s likely that sooner or later, they’ll trace it back to us. We must improve our strength as much as possible; that way, we’ll be able to face it even if exposed."

Shen Long’s voice was heavy.

"As a high-ranking member of the Xuanming Clan, they will undoubtedly be more concerned about the Nangong Family’s Azure Water Lion Qilin Beast. With this beast in hand, the Nangong Family’s Taiyi Golden Immortal can break through the Clan Protection Formation of the Xuanming Clan with little difficulty."

Chu Buyu analyzed.

Shen Long nodded. After talking for a while, he walked into a practice room, entering the Myriad Beasts Tower to appear on the tenth floor of Qianyang Hall.

He entered an alchemy room, sitting crossed-legged on a red meditation cushion to meditate and recuperate.

After the time it takes for a cup of tea, Shen Long opened his eyes, summoned the Qianyang Cauldron, and began refining a Devouring Immortal Pill.

Not long after, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted from the Qianyang Cauldron.
