Chapter 484: 392 Great opportunity?_1

"We’ve also received the invitation, and we’ll set off after a while!"

Li Ning said.

"The Northern Sea is indeed rich in cultivation resources; another Soul Transformation Cultivator has emerged, which isn’t easy in our Southern Border."

Xue Xingyue said enviously.

After chatting idly for half an hour, Shen Long and Du Xiao walked out from the side yard. Shen Long looked composed, while Du Xiao had a smile on her face.

"Fairy Du, could you fortune-tell my fate?"

Shangguan Yulong asked, full of anticipation.

"I can only tell fortunes once a day. It’ll be a while before I can do it again."

Refusing tactfully, Du Xiao seemed to recall something and added, "Right, Heavenly Beast Island is hosting the Divinity Transformation ceremony for Senior Wang. Your Shangguan Family must have received the invitation as well! I plan to go to the Northern Sea again. How about going together?"

"That’s exactly what I was thinking, and Fairy Xue intends to do so as well."

Shangguan Yulong said, his gaze falling on Shen Long as he inquired, "What about you, Taoist Friend Shen?"

"I have matters to attend to; I’ll head over after taking care of them."

Shen Long said.

After chatting for more than an hour, Shen Long took his leave. Du Xiao had someone arrange accommodations for Shangguan Yulong and Xue Xingyue, who would be staying temporarily at the Thousand Poison Sect.

"Junior Sister Du, how did the fortune-telling for Taoist Friend Shen go?"

Li Ning asked curiously.

"He has a great opportunity related to someone; whether he can find it depends on his abilities."

Du Xiao said.

"A great opportunity!"

Li Ning took in a sharp breath. She had also asked Du Xiao to tell her fortune, and in hundreds of years, she had been told of only minor opportunities.

With a nod, Du Xiao mentioned, "I’ve read the fortunes of quite a few Nascent Soul Cultivators, and fewer than five of them had great opportunities. Wang Kun is one of them. However, Taoist Friend Shen’s great opportunity is connected to someone, and judging from the divination, it’s someone from a heterodox clan."

"A heterodox clan! The Witch Clan or the Barbarian Tribe?"

Li Ning pressed on.

"Neither! There’s not much information, but it’s not our concern. Taoist Friend Shen is exceptionally strong. Don’t even think about snatching his opportunity."

Du Xiao’s expression grew serious.

Li Ning nodded, exchanged a few more words, and then returned to her lodging to rest.

In the Northern Sea, Heavenly Beast Island.

In the Heavenly Beast Hall, a tall blue-robed elder sat in the main seat, his gaze commanding and authoritative.

Wang He was reporting to the blue-robed elder, his expression respectful.

"Master, all the invitations have been sent. All the major forces have agreed to come to your Soul Transformation ceremony, including Qinglian Sword Venerable, Fairy Xuanbing, Senior Du, and Senior Mo."

Wang He spoke.

The blue-robed elder was Wang Kun, the lord of Heavenly Beast Island and Wang He’s master.

"Has the murderer who wiped out the cultivators on Black Phoenix Island not been found yet?"

Wang Kun asked in a booming voice.

"Not yet. The culprit was very thorough."

Wang He said.

The incident caused panic; even the powerful Su Family couldn’t stop it, prompting other forces to strengthen their defenses. The unknown is the most terrifying thing, and many forces are keen to uncover the true perpetrator.

"Dispatch more men to investigate this matter. We must find out the truth."

Wang Kun instructed.

"Yes, Master."

Wang He agreed, accepting the command and departing.

An abandoned island shrouded in white fog, concealing the situation on the island.

In a hidden cave, Taishi Jin sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes tightly shut, surrounded by swirling black mist and rising demonic qi.

Huangfu Lou personally took action to annihilate the Su Family and seized a large batch of cultivation resources, which he gave to Taishi Jin, providing elixirs to strengthen his Divine Soul. Now Taishi Jin could peacefully cultivate and wait for his cultivation to recover before considering his next move.

In the Southern Border Cultivation World, the Red Spider Marketplace.

Shen Long strolled down the streets, casually browsing.

With Du Xiao’s help, Shen Long had divined an opportunity for a great fortune that was somehow connected to a heterodox cultivator, who, according to the information given by Du Xiao, shared some traits with the Fire Sun Clan.

While there were still some cultivators from the Fire Sun Clan in the Qianyang Realm, their numbers were few, primarily located within the Southern Border Cultivation World. Shen Long had heard that a cultivator from the Fire Sun Clan had been spotted in the Red Spider Marketplace, and he came over to take a look.

As he passed a crossroad, Chu Shan and Qin Tianhe came toward him.

"Junior pays respect to Senior Shen."

Chu Shan and Qin Tianhe, initially stunned, quickly bowed in salute, their expressions respectful.

They had long heard of Shen Long’s exploits and did not dare to treat him lightly.

"It has been a while, do you stay in the Red Spider Marketplace often?"

Shen Long asked.

"This junior has been staying in the Red Spider Marketplace for the past few years, may I ask what I can do for Senior Shen?"

Chu Shan asked cautiously.

"I heard that there are cultivators from the Fire Sun Clan frequenting the Red Spider Marketplace, do you know where they might be staying? I would like to meet them."

Shen Long said.

"This junior knows, please follow me, Senior,"

Chu Shan replied respectfully, leading the way personally.

After half an hour, they arrived at a street that was less crowded and came to the entrance of a gold tower that was five stories high, its signboard bearing the large characters "Fire Sun Pavilion."

"This junior knows that some cultivators from the Fire Sun Clan live here, though I do not know them personally,"

Chu Shan pointed to the Fire Sun Pavilion and said.

Qin Tianhe sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman and quietly waited.

Before long, the doors opened, and a svelte girl in a golden dress walked out. She was taller than members of the typical Human Clan, with some golden, flame-like patterns on her face.

"This junior is called Yan Yu, may I ask what brings you here, Senior?"

The girl in the golden dress said, looking tense.

"Where are your elders at home? I have something to discuss with them, no ill intentions."

Shen Long spoke with a pleasant expression.

"My great-grandfather is out and hasn’t come back yet, may I ask your name, Senior? When my great-grandfather returns, I will inform him immediately,"

Yan Yu said cautiously.

"My name is Shen Long, if your great-grandfather comes back, tell him I have some matters to discuss with him,"

Shen Long replied.

"Shen Long!"

Yan Yu’s face filled with shock; she had naturally heard of Shen Long’s deeds. She never imagined that Shen Long would come to seek out her great-grandfather.

"Yes, I will pass on the message,"

Yan Yu assured him, her expression respectful.

Shen Long nodded and turned to leave. Chu Shan and Qin Tianhe quickly followed.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a secluded courtyard with green tiles, where there was a green tower and a green stone pavilion. Shen Long sat in the stone pavilion while Chu Shan and Qin Tianhe stood by, their expressions respectful.

"Keep an eye on the movements of the high-ranking cultivators from the Fire Sun Clan for me, I just want to know what they’re up to, understand?"

Shen Long instructed.

"Understood, Senior Shen, you can leave it to us,"

Chu Shan promised, patting his chest. Having the opportunity to serve Shen Long was their good fortune.

Shen Long took out a golden Storage Bag and tossed it to Chu Shan, saying, "These things are for you as a reward. Do the job well, and there will be greater rewards."

"Yes, Senior Shen,"

Chu Shan replied excitedly.

Shen Long inquired about the situation in the Red Spider Marketplace, mainly to learn about the Fire Sun Clan cultivators, to which Chu Shan reported truthfully.

Shen Long gave a few more instructions and then let Chu Shan and Qin Tianhe leave.
