Chapter 415: 323 Spirt Control Sect Thriving Day by Day_1

Qin Country, Spirit Control Sect.

A secluded manor, Yuan Rui, Li Rongrong and Red Flood Dragon True Person sat beside a bluish stone table, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

An astounding spirit pressure radiated from Red Flood Dragon True Person; he had ascended to the Nascent Soul Stage half a year ago.

Thanks to the Soul-Soothing Incense refined by Shen Long, Red Flood Dragon True Person found the Heart Demon Pass relatively easier to navigate.

"Our Spirit Control Sect has gained another Nascent Soul Cultivator, wonderful! If the battlefront becomes tense, Senior Brother Yuan and I can lead teams to reinforce it,"

Li Rongrong said, unable to contain her joy.

If the battlefront did become dire, the Spirit Control Sect would certainly send reinforcements.

"Junior Brother Shen, Junior Sister Du and Junior Brother Lin are not weak in strength; they probably won’t need our reinforcements. On the contrary, the Xuanyang Sect, Zixiao Sect, Badao Villa, and Qixia Sect have suffered heavy losses,"

Yuan Rui stated solemnly.

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother Shen truly is a lucky star for our Spirit Control Sect. Without him, neither Senior Sister Li nor I would have advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage so effortlessly. We might have even perished at the Heart Demon Pass. And when Junior Sister Du was injured by a formidable enemy, it was Junior Brother Shen who assisted her and ensured her safety,"

Red Flood Dragon True Person praised.

Yuan Rui nodded and added, "Indeed, Junior Brother Shen..."

Before he could finish, he looked up into the sky and said, "Junior Brother Shen and Junior Sister Du are back."

No sooner had he spoken than a red escape light appeared in the distant sky and rapidly approached above the manor.

The escape light faded, revealing a shining red flying boat with Shen Long and Du Yinyin standing on it.

They had hurried back to the Spirit Control Sect at top speed, and the accompanying disciples each returned to their respective dwellings.

Junior Sister Du signaled with a spell, and the red flying boat descended.

"Junior Sister Du, Junior Brother Shen, why only the two of you? Where is Junior Brother Lin?"

Yuan Rui inquired.

"Junior Brother Lin is still at Refuse Barbarian City, handling the receipt of territories."

Junior Sister Du explained.

"Receipt of territories? What does that mean?"

Yuan Rui was slightly stunned, utterly perplexed.

Junior Sister Du briefly recounted the events, as Yuan Rui and the others were yet unaware that the conflict had ended.

"Junior Brother Shen received individual rewards? Our Spirit Control Sect has secured a large tract of land and a small Jinyu stone mine?"

Yuan Rui exclaimed, a mixture of astonishment and elation.

"Senior Brother Han, congratulations on your promotion to the Nascent Soul Stage. I present you with this Dharma Treasure as a small token of my esteem,"

Shen Long took out a bluish giant axe and handed it to Red Flood Dragon True Person.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Shen,"

Red Flood Dragon True Person expressed his gratitude as he accepted the bluish giant axe.

"There’s no need to hold a celebration in honor of my longevity. Instead, we can organize a Nascent Soul Ceremony for Senior Brother Han and invite other friends to partake. Junior Sister Li, see to the arrangements for this event and dispatch the invitations. After this ceremony, Qin Country will be under the dominion of our Spirit Control Sect,"

Yuan Rui stated.

He had never celebrated his birthday before; celebrating it all of a sudden would seem odd. Organizing the Nascent Soul Ceremony for Red Flood Dragon True Person was proper and appropriate. It would also showcase the strength of the Spirit Control Sect – an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

"I concur with Senior Brother Yuan’s suggestion,"

Shen Long had no objections.

Junior Sister Du also had no objections, finding the idea even more appealing.

"Junior Sister Du, Junior Brother Shen, you’ve worked tirelessly over these years. Take a good rest now; we will take care of the rest,"

Yuan Rui said.

Junior Sister Du and Shen Long had spent over twenty years on the frontline, slaying numerous Barbarian Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage, and had made significant contributions.

Junior Sister Du and Shen Long agreed, chatting for a while longer before they took their leave.

Shen Long returned to Golden Roc Peak where he was greeted by Lin Sen.

"Disciple pays respect to Uncle Shen."

Lin Sen bowed deeply.

"Oh, you have advanced to the Core Formation Stage, good. This Dharma Treasure is for you, as a congratulations for entering the Core Formation Stage."

Shen Long took out a flying dagger that flickered with blue light and handed it to Lin Sen.

"Thank you, Uncle Shen."

Lin Sen thanked him and received the blue flying dagger with both hands.

Lin Shan had passed away, and Lin Sen took over his position to help Shen Long manage Golden Roc Garden.

Shen Long gave him a few words of instruction and then allowed Lin Sen to leave.

He walked into a practice room, sat down with crossed legs, and took out a beautiful golden jade box containing twelve Golden Soul Pills.

Shen Long picked up a Golden Soul Pill and placed it in his mouth.

As soon as the elixir touched his tongue, it melted, and Shen Long hastily began cultivating to refine the potency of the medicine.

One’s Divine Soul must be strong enough to brave the assault on the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, a cultivator has four paths of cultivation namely, the physical body, Divine Sense, mana, and Divine Soul. All four must be sufficiently powerful to strike at the Divinity Transformation Stage—none can be neglected.

Shen Long wore the Soul Nourishing Locket, with his Divine Sense steadily growing. In terms of his physical body, his cultivation of the Nine Transformations Flood Dragon Art enabled him to transform into a flood dragon, and his body was not weak. What he needed to focus on were his mana and Divine Soul. The issue of mana could be solved with more time polishing it to become deeper and more profound. The Divine Soul, however, was trickier and required direct assistance from external objects.

Zhao Country, Hundred Ghosts Sect.

In a serene estate, a portly elder in yellow robes sat beside a blue stone table, to whom Xu Li was reporting.

"Master Uncle Yin, the battle has ended, but we have lost most of our experts. Master Uncle Su was killed, and Master Aunt Liu was severely injured, with numerous Core Formation Cultivators perishing."

Xu Li’s face was filled with sorrow.

The Hundred Ghosts Sect had suffered devastating losses from the battle, now only having two Nascent Soul Cultivators, with Liu Mei seriously wounded.

"What about the losses of Yin Corpse Sect, Blood Skeleton Sect, and Heavenly Fiend Sect?"

The yellow-robed elder asked.

Yin Shan, early Nascent Soul Stage.

"Their losses aren’t small either, especially the Blood Skeleton Sect, which lost two Nascent Soul Cultivators in succession. The trouble is, the Spirt Control Sect didn’t lose a single Nascent Soul Cultivator. Shen Long performed exceptionally, and Senior Mo, Mo Wuya, rewarded him with a Spiritual Treasure. Additionally, the Spirt Control Sect gained a large territory."

Xu Li said.

Shen Long’s strength stood out, and if he took action against them, they wouldn’t be able to hold him off.

"Did other Nascent Soul Cultivators also receive Spiritual Treasures?"

Yin Shan pressed for an answer.

"No, even Senior Han and Senior Su, despite having slain late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, did not receive any Spiritual Treasures. They intend to set Shen Long and the Spirt Control Sect as an example."

Xu Li explained.

"An example! No wonder, slaying a late-stage Nascent Soul Barbarian Cultivator is exceedingly difficult. Killing an early-stage is relatively easier, giving more Nascent Soul Cultivators a sense of relatability."

Yin Shan analyzed, then shifted his gaze and instructed, "You personally go to the large marketplace, and use the Wind Listening Token to trade with the Wind Listening Tower. Ask them to help us spread the word. Say that Shen Long is a great cultivator reincarnated through possession or that he has inherited from a great cultivator, possessing items or Miracle Elixirs that can cultivate mutated Spirit Insects. In short, make Shen Long out to be as strong as possible."

Eulogize to kill!

He wanted to place Shen Long on a higher pedestal, leveraging the power of other forces to deal with him.

"Ask the Wind Listening Tower to help spread the message? That won’t come cheap."

Xu Li frowned.

"Expensive comes with its reasons. The wider the message spreads, the better. I want others to know how enormous Shen Long’s opportunity is and how powerful his Divine Skills are. The higher we praise him, the more tragic his downfall will be later on."

Yin Shan instructed.

"Master Uncle Yin is wise. I will see to it immediately."

Xu Li agreed and departed.
