Chapter 524: 432 The parties intend to_1

"Taoist Friend Shen, you’ve advanced to the late stage of Nascent Soul!"

Chu Buyu exclaimed with a mix of astonishment and joy.

Shen Long nodded, "That’s right, Fairy Chu, are you alone? Are there no other cultivators with you?"

"I got separated from them, went into hiding to cultivate for a while, came out to scout for information, and was discovered by a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Tianyuan Tribe. I had no choice but to eliminate them."

Chu Buyu spoke in a calm tone, as if wiping out Tianyuan Tribe’s Nascent Soul cultivators was a trivial matter.

Something crossed her mind, and she said, "Taoist Friend Shen, I have something very important to discuss with you, let’s find a safe place to talk."

Shen Long nodded in agreement.

Chu Buyu was about to search the enemy corpses for valuables and burn the bodies, but Shen Long stopped her.

"Fairy Chu, let me feed the corpses to my spirit beast instead!"

Shen Long spoke up.

Chu Buyu consented, and Shen Long collected the bodies. They then left the area.

Half a day later, they appeared in an underground cavern where the stone walls emitted a gentle yellow glow.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I know that the Green Flood Dragon Tribe has a Five Lights Chaoyuan Fruit Tree, and its fruits are about to ripen. Are you interested?"

Chu Buyu asked.

"A Five Lights Chaoyuan Fruit Tree!"

Shen Long was somewhat tempted. The Five Lights Chaoyuan Fruit shared a similar marvelous ability to the Seven-Treasure Glaze Fruit, capable of aiding a Nascent Soul cultivator in their assault on the Divinity Transformation Stage.

"I’ve slain a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Green Flood Dragon Tribe and performed a Soul Search on them. I learned that they possess a Five Lights Chaoyuan Fruit Tree. The Green Flood Dragon Tribe has had many Nascent Soul cultivators called to the front lines, leaving their defenses thin."

Chu Buyu explained.

The Green Flood Dragon Tribe is one of the twenty-one major tribes of the Tianyuan Tribe, with profound heritage. Impacted by the war, the Green Flood Dragon Tribe had sent numerous Nascent Soul cultivators to the front, leaving themselves short on defense.

"Does the Green Flood Dragon Tribe have a Soul Transformation Cultivator?"

Shen Long inquired.

"According to the Tianyuan Tribe cultivator I obtained information from, they currently don’t have a Soul Transformation Cultivator. However, the Green Flood Dragon Tribe’s Clan Protection Formation is quite troublesome, but if you and I work together, we may be able to break through the formation,"

Chu Buyu said.

"Attacking the Green Flood Dragon Tribe is possible, but to be cautious, let’s first create some chaos by assaulting other tribes, drawing their attention before striking the Green Flood Dragon Tribe. This approach is safer,"

Shen Long outlined his strategy.

With the Water Qilin Pearl in his possession, unless the Green Flood Dragon Tribe’s Clan Protection Formation was of the fifth order, it could not stop Shen Long.

"That sounds indeed more prudent. Let’s do that,"

Chu Buyu had no objections.

Shen Long took out a map and began pointing out his plan, from the timing of attacks on various strongholds to the retreat routes and operational schemes—they had thought of everything.

"Then it’s settled. We’ll first attack the Black Tiger Tribe. This tribe is quite far from the Green Flood Dragon Tribe and should be able to draw away a good number of Tianyuan Tribe cultivators,"

Shen Long said, pointing to a location on the map.

Chu Buyu nodded and said, "Let’s get moving then! Quick battle, quick decision. The longer we delay, the more likely the Green Flood Dragon Tribe will strengthen their guard."

They left the place and hurried towards the Black Tiger Tribe.

...

The Purple Pupil Realm is adjacent to the Tianyuan Realm, where the Purple Charm Clan rules.

The Zimei Mountain Range is located in the eastern part of the Purple Pupil Realm, stretching for millions of miles, brimming with spiritual energy.

Deep in the mountain range, one could see a large number of figures from the Purple Charm Clan. The clan members were roughly the same size as the Human Clan, but they had purple eyes, longer ears, and purple hair.

A grand and majestic palace stood, and the plaque above the entrance bore the golden characters "Zimei Hall."

A voluptuous woman in a purple dress sat in the principal seat, with a rotund, robed old man and a tall man in golden clothing sitting on either side, engaged in conversation.

"When one’s lips perish, the teeth feel cold? Ridiculous. When the Tianyuan Tribe was at its peak, with their far-reaching conquests, they plundered a wealth of cultivation resources. What benefits did our Purple Charm Clan gain from that? Why didn’t they mention our common interests then?"

The woman in the purple dress said scornfully.

Zixuan, at the Divinity Transformation Middle Stage.

Had it not been for the Qingmei Realm and Qianyang Realm confronting the Tianyuan Clan of the Tianyuan Realm, she would have already ascended to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot.

"We can’t share the blessings, yet we must face the difficulties together; the Tianyuan Clan really thinks we’re easy to bully," the elder in the black robe said with a frown.

Tus, early stage of Divinity Transformation.

"Exactly, they even dare to threaten us, saying they’ll join forces with the Human Clan to deal with our Purple Pupil Realm? Do they really think they’re still the Tianyuan Clan they once were?" the man in the golden shirt said with a sneer. His tone shifted as he continued, "However, the old ghost Yin Jie always keeps his word—if we indeed do not support them, he might actually collaborate with the Human Clan."

"Supporting them is not an issue, but they need to show some humility. They expect our support while making threats; this is all because we’ve spoiled them in the past," Zixuan said coldly.

"Let’s do this! We’ll make a list of the cultivation resources we need. If they can provide these, we can support them. The Human Clan will not necessarily be able to exterminate us," the man in the golden shirt suggested.

"Fine! Tuna, I’ll leave this matter in your hands. Send people to guard the spatial node leading to the Tianyuan Realm. It’s a vital escape route for our clan members and a natural defense against the Human Clan’s invasion," Zixuan instructed.

"No problem, leave it to me," Tuna agreed.

After chatting idly for half an hour, the three of them went about their own business.

...

Qianyang Realm, Northern Sea.

A sea area enshrouded by a white fog sea, with bursts of sea breeze. The white fog sea seemed fixed in place, unmoving.

An escape light flew from a distance and stopped outside the white fog sea.

The escape light converged, revealing the figure of Lu Haoming.

"How did it go? Did you find out anything?" a commanding male voice emanated from within the white fog sea.

"Senior Huangfu, Mo Wuya, and eight other Soul Transformation Cultivators have been out of sight for many years. According to reliable information, Mo Wuya and Qinglian Sword Venerable are both in the Tianyuan Realm. As for the whereabouts of the other Soul Transformation Cultivators, that’s not clear," Lu Haoming reported.

He had been tasked with investigating the movements of Soul Transformation Cultivators in the Qianyang Realm. Since the Qianyang Realm had joined forces with the Qingmei Realm to confront the Tianyuan Realm, the whereabouts of these cultivators were confidential and naturally not something to be discussed openly.

After many efforts, Lu Haoming could only confirm that Mo Wuya and Qinglian Sword Venerable were in the Tianyuan Realm.

"Good, continue to investigate the whereabouts of the other Soul Transformation Cultivators and report back immediately once you have a clear picture. I will not let you go unrewarded," the man instructed.

"Yes, Senior Huangfu," Lu Haoming agreed.

A green storage bracelet flew out from the white fog sea and stopped in front of Lu Haoming.

"Thank you, Senior Huangfu," Lu Haoming said excitedly, accepting the storage bracelet and leaving the area.

Beneath the white fog sea, an island a hundred miles in size could be seen, along with a hidden underground cavern.

Huangfu Lou and Taishi Jin were sitting on stone stools there, talking.

Taishi Jin had recovered his cultivation and was now at the early stage of Divinity Transformation.

"Now is not the best time to make a move. Let’s wait until the Human Clan and the Tianyuan Clan have both suffered heavy losses from their fight. We’ll make our move then—it’ll be safer," Huangfu Lou said in a deep voice.

"I have no objections; I’ll follow your lead," Taishi Jin agreed.
