Immortal Venerable of the Beast Race
Chapter 1372 - 1376: Two Hundred Thousand Years

Chapter 1372: Chapter 1376: Two Hundred Thousand Years

Shen Long returned to the Practice Room and once again entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, arriving under the Dao Soldier Tree.

A ball of green light flashed, and Shen Sen emerged.

He is currently at the Late Stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. Hanging on the Dao Soldier Tree are dozens of shimmering yellow beans, among which is a yellow bean with twelve mysterious patterns.

"Master, currently we have cultivated a Top Grade Immortal Bean, ready for picking at any time."

Shen Sen reported proudly.

"Not bad! You’ve cultivated a Top Grade Immortal Bean."

Shen Long praised.

The Li Family Immortal Clan, the Nine Suns Sect, and other major powers have Dao Soldier Trees, but it’s tough to cultivate a Top Grade Immortal Bean.

Top Grade Immortal Beans can be used to refine Dao Soldiers of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Stage. In the entire Immortal Realm, Dao Soldiers of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Stage are also rare.

"It’s just one Top Grade Immortal Bean. Hopefully, in the future, we can cultivate more of them."

Shen Sen showed a look of expectation.

Shen Long nodded and asked, "How is that set of Hongmeng Immortal Materials coming along?"

He selected a set of Hongmeng Immortal Materials from the Zhang Family’s Treasure Vault and transplanted it to the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower for Shen Sen to cultivate meticulously.

"That set of Hongmeng Immortal Materials has absorbed a large amount of defense-type materials and is about to take shape, at least as a Middle Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact."

Shen Sen reported truthfully.

Shen Long nodded with satisfaction, feeling very assured with Shen Sen’s work.

After a few reminders, he went to an Alchemy Room in the Myriad Beasts Hall to continue refining Tenth Grade Dao Pills.

Shen Yuqing and Shen Yuhong are cultivating on the tenth level of the Myriad Beasts Tower, while Shen Lin and Shen Xin are attacking the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Chu Buyu is also in seclusion, aiming for the Middle Stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

······

Heavenly Beast Continent, Palace of Heavenly Beasts.

In a quiet manor, Luo Yuan and Zhao Qian sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

"Qian Yang! This person is quite capable, slaying two Divine Beasts."

Luo Yuan said in surprise.

"Yes! But we don’t know how he managed to kill the two Divine Beasts. We only know he has mastered the Time Law and the Dao Technique: Endless Fire Domain, but other divine skills are unclear."

Zhao Qian was full of curiosity.

"He must have a precious treasure, like a Top Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact that specifically harms the Divine Soul or flesh."

Luo Yuan speculated.

"That is unknown, but it’s certain that the Evil God Race will not let him off. I believe that experts within the Human Clan are also interested in Qian Yang, and with him having slain two Divine Beasts, the Beast Core must be in his hands. If we can obtain the Divine Beasts’ Crystal Core, perhaps we could cultivate a Divine Beast."

Zhao Qian showed a look of longing.

"This person’s divine skills surpass ours, not something we can easily handle. After this battle, the Evil God Race will find it even harder to recover. It won’t be long until the Zhang Family initiates warfare, further weakening the Evil God Race. We need to enhance our strength as much as possible, preferably cultivating a Divine Beast."

Luo Yuan said solemnly.

The Zhang Family and the Demon Race will not give the Evil God Race a chance to recover, and they will surely further weaken their power.

Zhao Qian nodded, "Master Nephew Xu and Master Nephew Wang are already in seclusion, aiming for the Great Luo Golden Immortal. In addition, I’ve sent people to gather resources hoping to cultivate a Divine Beast or a Top Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact."

Luo Yuan nodded, conversed for a while, and then took his leave.

······

Spring passed and autumn came; two hundred thousand years have passed.

Glazed Sea Domain, Myriad Beasts Island.

In the Myriad Beasts Beast Garden, Shen Long sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, with Su Changfeng, Wang Rui, Qin Yuying, Mo Bingbing, Yuan Rui, and Lin Yutong standing beside him.

Su Changfeng, Wang Rui, and Qin Yuying have all ascended to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage and are currently at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Early Stage.

Mo Bingbing, Yuan Rui, and Lin Yutong are at the Late-stage Golden Immortal. Shen Long plans to bring them into the Myriad Beasts Tower for cultivation to speed up their training, aiming for them to ascend to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage.

"Changfeng, Yuying, you will temporarily handle the sect’s affairs. Master Nephew Mo and the others can focus on their cultivation, aiming for the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage."

Shen Long instructed.

"Yes, Master (Master Shen)."

Su Changfeng and the five others replied in unison.

Mo Bingbing took out a Law Disk shimmering with white light, casting a spell, and Li Yu’s voice sounded: "Master, Senior Nangong is visiting, saying something important about Master Shen."

Mo Bingbing glanced at Shen Long, who said, "Invite him to the guest hall! I will receive him."

Mo Bingbing relayed the message truthfully, and Li Yu agreed.

"Alright, you all go and get busy first, hand over your tasks, and come back to the Myriad Beasts Garden tomorrow."

Shen Long instructed.

Su Changfeng and the six others agreed unanimously and left one after another.

Shen Long concealed his aura and went to the guest hall, where he met Nangong Ziyang.

After a few words of greeting, Nangong Ziyang got to the point: "Taoist Friend Shen, I heard from Taoist Friend Ouyang that you can refine Eighth Rank Dao Pills?"

"Indeed, such rumors have spread. Taoist Friend Ouyang, feel free to speak your mind."

Shen Long’s tone was calm.

He did not hide his identity as a Dao Pill Master; news of his ability to refine Eighth Rank Dao Pills had already spread. To ask him to refine such pills, one had to bring good things in exchange.

"This Hongmeng Immortal Material has absorbed high-grade divination materials. Here is a Pill Formula for the Fourth Rank Immortal Pill, the Nine Mysterious Beast Essence Pill. It shares similar effects with the Qiankun Heavenly Beast Fruit and can assist Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage True Spirits in cultivating into Divine Beasts."

Nangong Ziyang took out an exquisite Golden Jade Box and a Green Jade Slip.

Shen Long opened the Golden Jade Box, inside was a golden jade stone the size of an egg, with a smooth surface and two small cracks visible.

He picked up the Green Jade Slip, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Taoist Friend Nangong, what do you want?"

Shen Long asked.

"Two Eighth Rank Dao Pills containing the Water Law, what do you think?"

Nangong Ziyang’s face was full of expectation.

The Nine Mysterious Beast Essence Pill is a Fourth Rank Immortal Pill, not currently needed by Taiyi Golden Immortals. While Hongmeng Immortal Materials are indeed precious, their function depends on what they are made into. Hongmeng Immortal Materials that absorb divination materials, even if cultivated into Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts, would only be Middle Grade and of little use to Taiyi Golden Immortals.

"To be honest, these two items of yours can only get you one Eighth Rank Dao Pill."

Shen Long stated calmly.

Nangong Ziyang frowned slightly and nodded, "Just one, then."

His expectation was for one Eighth Rank Dao Pill, so getting even that was satisfactory.

Shen Long took out an exquisite Blue Jade Box and handed it to Nangong Ziyang.

Nangong Ziyang opened the Blue Jade Box, inside were two blue pills, each with eight Dao Patterns on its surface.

"Taoist Friend Shen, what is this?"

Nangong Ziyang asked, slightly taken aback.

"The extra one is a gift for you. You can promote my services, letting others know they can exchange rare resources for Eighth Rank Dao Pills with me."

Shen Long explained.

The Nangong Family has a long history. Giving an extra Eighth Rank Dao Pill would facilitate Nangong Ziyang in spreading the word, thus assisting Shen Long in gathering resources.

"No problem."

Nangong Ziyang agreed without hesitation and put away the Eighth Rank Dao Pills.

After chatting for half an hour, Nangong Ziyang took his leave.

Returning to the Myriad Beasts Garden, Shen Long called over Wang Rui.

"Is the Nine Palaces Plate still with you? Let me see it."

Shen Long asked.

Wang Rui took out the Nine Palaces Plate and handed it to Shen Long.

Since he had ascended to Taiyi Golden Immortal, the Nine Palaces Plate, being only a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact, was no longer of much help to him.

"I will gather materials to upgrade your Master Aunt to a Superior Immortal Artifact. This way, your deductions will be much easier."

Shen Long said.

"Thank you, Master, and please trouble Master Aunt on my behalf."

Wang Rui said gratefully.

After a brief chat, Shen Long dismissed him.

Shen Long walked into the Practice Room and entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, proceeding to the eleventh level.

He took out the Golden Jade Stone and the Nine Palaces Stone, bringing them into contact.

The Golden Jade Stone immediately emitted a dazzling golden light, engulfing the Nine Palaces Stone.

After a while, the golden light dissipated, and the Nine Palaces Stone vanished. The surface of the Golden Jade Stone now had seven or eight small cracks, nearly fully formed.

He placed the Nine Palaces Plate and the Golden Jade Stone on the Hongmeng Platform, infusing it with Immortal Yuan Power.

The Hongmeng Platform suddenly emitted a green light, engulfing the Golden Jade Stone and the Nine Palaces Plate.

The green light faded, leaving only the Nine Palaces Plate as the Golden Jade Stone disappeared.

"Middle Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact! It seems high-grade divination materials are needed to upgrade it to a Superior Hongmeng Immortal Artifact."

Shen Long muttered to himself, putting away the Nine Palaces Plate.

He proceeded to the tenth level, where a massive Nine-Colored Thundercloud was visible, crackling with lightning.

Shen Mei was attempting to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Shen Long had prepared many items for her tribulation. She should have no problem passing the heavenly tribulation.
