Immortal Venerable of the Beast Race
Chapter 189 - 189 118 Conflict_1

189: 118 Conflict_1 189: 118 Conflict_1 The Shocking Dragon Bell is a Dharma Treasure that can emit the sound of a dragon’s roar, summoned only when major events occur within the Spirit Control Sect, calling the senior members to a meeting.

“Luckily, it only sounded once, so the situation may not be too grave,”

Shen Long said.

The more times the Shocking Dragon Bell is struck, the more serious the issue.

In the history of the Spirit Control Sect, the most it had been struck was nine times.

During that crisis, the sect faced near destruction, narrowly surviving with the help of the Sect Protection Spirit Bird.

“The last time the Shocking Dragon Bell was sounded was hundreds of years ago, and who knows what had happened then,”

Chen Bing said.

In the Council Hall, Chen Xiao stood at the main seat with over a dozen Core Formation Cultivators seated on both sides.

After Ice Silkworm True Person arrived, she took a seat.

“Sect Leader Brother, what grave matter has occurred to necessitate the ringing of the Shocking Dragon Bell?”

A tall golden-robed elder asked.

The man had a square face and large eyes, exuding a powerful presence without anger.

Golden Toad True Person, Mid-stage Nascent Soul.

“We have discovered a medium-sized Qing Xu Crystal Vein at the border between the Human Clan and the Skywolf Tribe.

Senior Qin from Xuanyang Sect sent us a message.

Master Aunt Du plans to lead a team personally to take on the Skywolf Tribe.

Besides Qin Country, Zhao Country and Wei Country will also send reinforcements to seize the Qing Xu Crystal Vein,”

Chen Xiao’s tone was grave.

Qing Xu Crystal is a fourth-grade material for Artifact Refining, commonly used to craft defensive treasures, and is quite valuable.

A medium-sized Qing Xu Crystal Vein is worth tens of millions of Spirit Stones, and naturally, we cannot cede it to the Skywolf Tribe.

“The Skywolf Tribe!

They are one of the eighteen major Barbarian Tribes,”

Ice Silkworm True Person said with a frown.

“That’s why our three countries are joining forces.

The plan from Senior Qin and Master Aunt Du is to let the younger generation fight first, draining as much of the Barbarian Tribe’s strength as possible.

Unless the Barbarian Tribe’s Nascent Soul Cultivators make a move, they won’t either,”

Chen Xiao explained.

“How did a medium-sized Qing Xu Crystal Vein suddenly appear?

Didn’t we survey the area carefully when setting the boundary?”

Ice Centipede Fairy asked, confused.

If a small vein went undetected, it would be understandable, but it was strange for a medium-sized vein to have been missed.

“It is said that one of the major Barbarian Tribes left it behind, hidden by a grand Formation as a reserve for a comeback, but it seems they never had a chance to use it,”

Chen Xiao said.

The Barbarian Tribes nearly unified the entire Donghua Cultivation Realm.

After years of contention between the Human Clan and the Barbarian Tribes, many major Barbarian Tribes were annihilated, allowing for the expansion of territories.

“Will we be meeting up with the Xuanyang Sect’s forces, or are we heading straight there?”

Golden Toad True Person asked.

“We’ll proceed directly to the front line.

Senior Qin has already led a team to the front line, and Senior Leng of the Cold Flame Sect from Wei Country is also personally leading a team there.

Master Aunt Du has ordered me to mobilize a group of Cultivators to head to the front line as well,”

Chen Xiao explained.

“Sect Leader Brother, count me in this time,”

Golden Toad True Person volunteered.

“I’m coming too,”

Ice Silkworm True Person seconded.

Many Core Formation Cultivators volunteered for the campaign, seeing it as a great opportunity to distinguish themselves.

“Master Aunt Du places great importance on this matter.

Prepare yourselves, dispatch ten Core Formation Cultivators and five hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators to the frontline first.

We must also ensure that logistical support keeps up.

Each division is responsible for the rapid production of various strategic materials: Elixirs, Talismans, Formations, Magic Artifacts, Spirit Beasts, and so on.

Those who retreat before the battle will be severely punished, and defectors will be executed without mercy,”

Chen Xiao spoke with a face full of lethal seriousness.

“Yes, Sect Leader Brother,”

Ice Silkworm True Person and the other Core Formation Cultivators unanimously agreed and left one by one.

Soon, the enormous mechanism that is the Spirit Control Sect sprang into action, with each division receiving orders to hastily produce various strategic materials and deploying a number of Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds.

Ice Silkworm Valley, Ice Silkworm Pavilion.

Ice Silkworm True Person sat at the main seat, with Shen Long and Chen Bing standing by.

“Qing Xu Crystal Vein!”

Shen Long finally understood, realizing that the Qing Xu Crystal Vein was even more precious than the Jinlang Jade Mine he had discovered.

The Skywolf Tribe, one of the eighteen major Barbarian Tribes, was powerful, and the combined forces of the three countries against the Skywolf Tribe gave an idea of their strength.

“Shen Long, come with me to the front line,” Ice Silkworm True Person said.

“The front line also needs Alchemists, and this is a great opportunity to earn merit.

Chen Bing, since your junior brother is stronger than you, you’ll stay at the headquarters to manage Ice Silkworm Valley.”

Ice Silkworm True Person commanded.

Shen Long’s capability was notable, and with just a little display of his skill, Ice Silkworm True Person could negotiate for more benefits on his behalf.

“Yes, Master,”

Shen Long and Chen Bing responded in unison.

After receiving a few more instructions from the Ice Silkworm True Person, Shen Long departed.

Returning to Qinglian Garden, Shen Long took out a Messaging Plate, contacting Qian Dafu to arrange for Ye Yutang and others to come to Qinglian Garden, as he had something to discuss with them.

Less than a quarter-hour later, Qian Dafu, Lin Shan, Ye Yutang, Qin Bao, Ye Yuqing, Sun Furong, and others had all arrived.

“Have you heard?” Shen Long asked.

“We’ve heard, we are ordered to go to the front line.

Junior Brother Shen, are you going as well?” Ye Yuqing inquired.

Shen Long nodded and said, “My master plans to take me along.

If you all are also participating, we can look out for each other.”

“Hehe, this is a chance to earn distinction.

I’m definitely going.

After this battle, the number of us in the ‘Seventy-two Show’ might decrease, but if we achieve great success, we might be promoted to the Seventy-two Show or accepted by a Core Formation Cultivator.” Qin Bao said excitedly.

He was currently at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and Shen Long had stood out at the Xuanyang Ceremony, impressing the Ice Silkworm True Person who took him as a disciple.

This battle was their chance to make a name for themselves.

“That’s right, it’s safe to stay at the headquarters, but it’s difficult to get ahead.

Even if you’re only assigned menial tasks on the front line, you’ll earn a decent amount of Kind Attributes,” Li Lei agreed.

They could accumulate Kind Attributes by completing tasks assigned by the Sect, but the process was incredibly slow.

They wondered how long it would take to gather enough Kind Attributes to exchange for Core Formation Spiritual Objects.
