Chapter 584: 493 Big Dipper Pavilion Disciple The Lower Realm_1

The Qinglin Grassland, located in the eastern part of the Tianyuan Realm, was originally a horse farm until the Human Clan invaded the Tianyuan Realm, leaving it abandoned.

From deep within the grassland, there came a deafening explosion, mixed with the sound of dragon roars.

Deep in the grassland, Chu Buyu stood atop a dirt mound, his expression icy cold.

Lying on the ground were the bodies of two Tianyuan Tribe cultivators; one could see a large number of pits billowing with black smoke.

Three huge Flood Dragons were attacking a burly man in a green robe, who held a green axe in each hand.

A White Flood Dragon opened its massive jaw, spitting out a thick beam of white light, heading straight for the man in the green robe.

The man in the green robe flickered to the side, dodging the white light. The light struck the ground, which instantly froze over, the ice spreading rapidly.

A thick, red dragon tail swept over, and the man in the green robe quickly swung his green axes to meet it.

With a clang, the man in the green robe was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground as he spat out a large mouthful of essence blood.

A blue flame lit up, and a huge blue Fire Phoenix appeared, causing the temperature nearby to plummet drastically as white frost formed out of thin air.

The blue Fire Phoenix dove toward the man in the green robe, who swung his axes to meet the attack.

The green axes shattered the blue Fire Phoenix into pieces, with some of its blue flames landing on the protective spirit light around the man in the green robe, instantly turning him into an ice sculpture.

A giant blue seal descended from the sky, smashing the ice sculpture to pieces.

The Nascent Soul tried to flee from the body but was pulverized by a golden flying dagger.

Chu Buyu let out a sigh of relief, pinched out a spell, and the spirit light of the three Flood Dragons shone brightly, transforming into a token flickering with spiritual light.

The Three Flood Dragon Spiritual Treasure Token, refined with the spirit souls of three fourth-rank Flood Dragons, was capable of transformation and attack.

The Flood Dragon spirit souls were a gift from Shen Long to Chu Buyu, a token of thanks for helping with the crafting of a defensive spiritual treasure and for providing protection.

Chu Buyu seldom used this treasure, keeping it as a trump card.

"I hope Taoist Friend Shen makes it back."

Chu Buyu murmured to himself.

The Human Race Allied Forces had suffered defeat, and numerous Human cultivators were scattered, fleeing for their lives while the allied forces of different tribes, led by the Tianyuan Tribe, were hunting them down everywhere.

She collected the valuables from the enemies’ bodies, burned the corpses, and left the place.

······

In Tianyuan City, within Tianyuan Garden.

Yin Hao and a voluptuous woman in a green dress were sitting in a green stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

"So it has gained the ability to speak human language by swallowing an Enlightening Pill."

A look of epiphany crossed Yin Hao’s face.

They had used a secret talisman to stabilize the space where the fifth-rank Ice Flood Dragon was hiding before making their move against it. The Ice Flood Dragon, having just barely reached the fifth rank, didn’t want to perish and thus chose to recognize Yin Hao as its master.

Before advancing to the fifth rank, the Ice Flood Dragon had found an elixir in the cave dwelling of an ancient cultivator. After consuming the elixir, its purity of bloodline increased, allowing it to speak human tongues.

Yin Hao deduced from this that the Ice Flood Dragon must have swallowed an Enlightening Pill of the fifth rank.

"Enlightening Pills are rare even in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, capable of increasing the bloodline purity of Spirit Beasts and Spirit Birds. How could there be such a pill in The Lower Realm? The clanspeople below don’t even know of its existence; could it have been brought down by Cai Lei?"

The woman in the green dress expressed her confusion.

Yin Yue, a Soul Transformation Cultivator in the middle stage, also descended from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot.

"Very likely! I suspect that the Vajra Beetle of the Hundred Spirits Realm was also brought down by Cai Lei, as that fifth-rank Vajra Beetle was capable of speech, probably after swallowing an Enlightening Pill as well. It’s very rare for a Spirit Insect to cultivate to the fifth rank in The Lower Realm, let alone develop intelligence."

Yin Hao analyzed.

"The Hundred Spirits Realm lies between the Tianyuan Realm and the Purple Pupil Realm. How could the Enlightening Pill appear in two different realms? The fact that the Ice Flood Dragon gained intelligence after consuming the Enlightening Pill doesn’t mean the Vajra Beetle did the same thing."

Yin Yue shared her opinion.

"Bian Xiao and the rest have gone to the Hundred Spirits Realm. Once they capture that mutated fifth-rank Vajra Beetle, we’ll know the truth," Yin Hao said, chuckling as he recalled something. "I didn’t expect such a surprise gain from the trip to The Lower Realm, subduing an initial fifth-rank Ice Flood Dragon."

"Indeed! If it were in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, this Flood Dragon would have been subdued or killed by a great Divine Skill master long ago. It would never have been your turn. With this dragon in hand, the Human Clan is even less of a match for us," Yin Yue said with a smile.

"The Lower Realm is The Lower Realm, after all, with its sparse nature’s spiritual energy. It’s already impressive for a Soul Transformation Cultivator to have one Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, let alone fifth-rank Spirit Beasts, fifth-rank Secret Talismans, and other treasures. With such scarce resources, I wouldn’t have bothered coming down here if it weren’t for the orders from the clan," Yin Hao said with a frown.

"As long as we find the treasure that Cai Lei brought to The Lower Realm, it will be a great achievement. Even if we can’t find it, subduing a fifth-order Ice Flood Dragon is also a significant gain,"

Yin Yue said with a smile.

Yin Hao nodded and said, "I hope we can find that treasure!"

······

In the Qingmei Realm, on Qingmei Island,

a grand and imposing palace stood, its plaque bearing the golden characters ’Qingmei Palace’.

A buxom woman in a white dress sat in the central seat, frowning deeply.

Shen Long, Suo Yu, and Cha Sen were seated on either side, their faces looking quite grim.

"Taoist Friend Lin’s Life-Bound Lamp has been extinguished?"

Shen Long said with a frown, realizing that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

"Yes. The space node leading to the Tianyuan Realm has been destroyed, and we have yet to find a new space node; there’s no way for us to go to the Tianyuan Realm,"

the lady in the white dress said with a sigh, her face full of worry.

Jiang Xueying, early-stage Soul Transformation Cultivator, fifth-order Array Master.

She was in charge of Qingmei Island. There was a space node on the island that connected to the Tianyuan Realm. With the Life-Bound Lamps of Lin Xiang and other Human Cultivators in the Tianyuan Realm extinguished, Jiang Xueying wanted to send people to the Tianyuan Realm to investigate. They discovered that the space node on the other side had been destroyed, and they could no longer pass through it.

"Madam Jiang, before Taoist Friend Lin’s Life-Bound Lamp was extinguished, were there any signs?"

Suo Yu asked.

"None, it was very sudden! I estimate that the Tianyuan Tribe has launched a counterattack and defeated them in a short period of time,"

Jiang Xueying analyzed.

"Soul Transformation Cultivators are coming, and not just a few!"

Shen Long looked outside the palace.

"It’s not Soul Transformation Cultivators from the Tianyuan Tribe, is it?"

Cha Sen’s expression tensed up.

"It should not be; Taoist Friend Xu is also among them,"

Shen Long said.

Jiang Xueying and the others fully extended their Divine Sense and exchanged looks.

"Taoist Friend Shen, could you be mistaken? I haven’t detected... Oh, there really are Soul Transformation Cultivators coming."

A hint of wariness flashed in Jiang Xueying’s eyes.

Shen Long’s Divine Sense was much stronger than hers, thankfully not as an enemy.

A streak of silver light flew in and landed in the palace.

The Escape Light dissipated, revealing a flying boat that glittered with silver light, with five men and one woman standing on it, Xu Qingyun included.

A silver-robed young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes stood at the forefront, carrying an exquisite silver Sword Box on his back, his aura as vast as the ocean.

Apart from Xu Qingyun, the other five had mid-stage Soul Transformation Cultivation, and all of them wore a sleeve with the pattern of the Big Dipper.

"Big Dipper Pavilion!"

Shen Long thought inwardly, showing no sign of surprise on his face.

Cultivators who reach the mid-stage of Soul Transformation generally ascend to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot and seldom stay in The Lower Realm. There are very few mid-stage Soul Transformation Cultivators in the surrounding dozen or so realms.

"Taoist Friend Xu, who are these fellow Taoists?"

Jiang Xueying asked curiously.

"They are Cultivators from the Big Dipper Pavilion of the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, sent to The Lower Realm to help us against the Tianyuan Tribe,"

Xu Qingyun introduced.

"I am Huo Tianxing. What is the situation in the Tianyuan Realm?"

The silver-robed young man introduced himself and then got straight to the point.

"We’re not clear either, there’s no way to go to the Tianyuan Realm, and we don’t know what’s happening there. We only know that many Cultivators’ Life-Bound Lamps in the Tianyuan Realm have been extinguished, something bad has definitely happened,"

Jiang Xueying said.
