Chapter 603: 512 Qianling Sect (Seeking Monthly Votes)_1

After a moment, Su Qianqian spoke, "Taoist Friend Shen, Master Uncle Wu has asked me to take you over. Senior Wang from the Qianling Sect is also there."

With a flick of her wrist, Su Qianqian summoned a Green Giant Crane with wings spanning a hundred zhang from the Spirit Beast Bracelet, which then landed on the ground.

Shen Long responded and followed Su Qianqian onto the back of the Green Giant Crane.

The Green Giant Crane gently flapped its wings, stirring up a fierce wind, and flew off in a southwesterly direction.

Shen Long looked down at the ground and saw numerous buildings and quite a few cultivators. There were dozens of Soul Transformation Cultivators, as far as his Divine Sense could detect.

"Taoist Friend Shen, this is a branch of the Nine Flames Sect. Since you are not a disciple of our Nine Flames Sect, please refrain from using your Divine Sense to investigate, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings," Su Qianqian reminded.

Shen Long replied and retracted his Divine Sense.

Before long, the Green Giant Crane landed in a vast estate with pavilions and towers, peculiar flowers, and unique stones.

A scholarly young man in blue robes and a graceful woman in blue skirt sat inside a stone pavilion, with an exquisite set of teaware arranged on a green stone table in front of them.

The presence of the blue-robed man and the blue-skirted woman was as vast as the sea. Before they even spoke, they imposed a great pressure on Shen Long.

"Void Refining Cultivators!"

Shen Long’s heart tightened, and his expression turned somewhat nervous.

He had Soul Searched the Nascent Soul of Bian Xiao and knew much information.

Above the stage of Divinity Transformation were the stages of Void Refinement, Unity, and Mahayana. The highest stage for cultivators of the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot was Mahayana.

"What is your name, and did you ascend from the Spirt Control Sect of the Qian Yang Realm?" the blue-skirted woman asked.

"Junior Shen Long, indeed, ascended from the Spirt Control Sect, and my grandmaster is Yuling True Monarch," Shen Long hurriedly replied.

"Aren’t you called Shen Hao?" Su Qianqian asked with displeasure on her face.

"I have always been cautious, please don’t take offense, Fairy Su," Shen Long said politely.

"If it were me ascending from the Lower Realm, I wouldn’t give my true name either. Those who land on the Ascendant Platform from the Lower Realm never reveal their real names. This is quite normal and understandable," the man in blue robes said with an approving look, sipping his tea.

"My name is Wang Yuyan, and I am an elder of the Qianling Sect. Do you have a portrait of Master Uncle Wu?" the blue-skirted woman continued to inquire.

Shen Long quickly took out a blue scroll and handed it to Wang Yuyan.

The Life-Bound Lamp of the grandmaster had never been extinguished, and Shen Long had specially brought the grandmaster’s portrait in the hope that it would be useful.

Wang Yuyan unrolled the blue scroll and glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Yes, that’s indeed Master Uncle Wu."

She looked towards the man in blue robes and said, "Taoist Friend Wu, Shen Shizhu is the grand disciple of Master Uncle Wu and is also our disciple at the Qianling Sect; I’ll take him with me."

"No problem, it was just a small favor. As for that matter I mentioned to Madam Wang, please give it some more thought," the blue-robed man said cheerfully.

"There is no need to think further; I agree. In a little while, send someone to fetch it!" Wang Yuyan replied.

"Thank you very much, Madam Wang," said the blue-robed man with a beaming smile.

"I have other matters to attend to and must take my leave now. Shen Shizhu, I will take you back to the main temple of the Qianling Sect," Wang Yuyan said.

With a shake of her wrist, a beam of green light flew out, and a massive green dragonfly appeared.

The eyes of the dragonfly were golden, and it had four wings on its back; this was a Four-Winged Wind Dragonfly in the later stages of the fifth order.

Wang Yuyan stepped onto the back of the Four-Winged Wind Dragonfly and Shen Long hurriedly followed.

The dragonfly lightly flapped its wings and flew high into the sky, quickly leaving the area.

In the Tianyuan Mountain Range, within a tranquil estate, the signboard read "Thunder Centipede Garden" in three large characters, and the gate was shut tight.

Yin Hao and Yin Yue stood at the doorway, their expressions anxious.

After a while, the gates to the Thunder Centipede Garden opened, and a blue Giant Ape about ten feet tall walked out and said, "Come in! The master is waiting for you."

The Sea Suppressing Ape, a fifth-stage late period Spirit Beast, had achieved a Purity of Bloodline of five and was capable of human speech.

Yin Hao and Yin Yue responded in unison and followed the Sea Suppressing Ape inside, arriving at a serene courtyard where a tall, silver-robed old man sat beside a green tea table, his demeanor indifferent.

"Greetings to Elder Bian."

Yin Hao and Yin Yue bowed deeply in unison.

"Tell me how Bian Xiao died, and do not miss a single detail," the silver-robed old man ordered.

Bian Ting, at the middle stage of Void Refinement, was Bian Xiao’s Grand Master Xuan.

Yin Hao and Yin Yue complied, recounting the events as they transpired.

"So, you’re saying that neither of you saw how Bian Xiao was killed? You only know that it was by Shen Long?" Bian Ting said with a dark expression on his face.

"Indeed, he practiced an impressive Art of Transformation. I’ve already sent a fifth-stage Flood Dragon to assist Taoist Friend Bian, and Yin Shi—they were no match for Shen Long. I suspect Huo Tianxing gave Shen Long a powerful talisman," Yin Hao conjectured.

He found it unbelievable—how could a fifth-stage Flood Dragon, Bian Xiao, and Yin Shi be unable to handle Shen Long? It must have been the powerful talisman from Huo Tianxing that made sense of it.

"Is it still possible to contact our clan members in The Lower Realm?" Bian Ting asked.

"No longer possible, the Human Cultivators have destroyed the Messaging Array. We’d have to send someone to the lower realm again," Yin Hao explained.

"There must be a portrait of Shen Long, at least!" Bian Ting said, displeasure visible on his face.

Yin Yue hurriedly took out a red scroll and handed it to Bian Ting.

Bian Ting opened the scroll, scanned it, nodded, and instructed, "You may leave now. Your presence is no longer needed."

Yin Hao and Yin Yue breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew.

"Shen Long! You’d better not ascend to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, or else if I encounter you, I will certainly extract your soul and refine your spirit," Bian Ting spoke grimly, his face full of murderous intent.

Bian Xiao was the descendant he valued most. He’d been sent down to The Lower Realm for training, and unexpectedly met his demise there.

The Qianling Mountain Range is located in the central part of the Green Lotus Continent, stretching over thousands of billion miles—this is the headquarters of the Qianling Sect.

Deep in the mountains, one could see numerous Cultivators all bearing the patterns of birds, beasts, fish, and insects on their clothing.

In the southwestern corner of the mountain range, a majestic palace gilded with gold, bearing the sign "Qianling Hall," stood tall.

A plump lady in a white dress and a portly man in yellow robes stood inside the hall, their expressions solemn.

"It’s rare for a grandstudent of our master to ascend from The Lower Realm," remarked the woman in the white dress.

Mo Bingbing, at the late stage of Void Refinement, was a disciple of Yuling True Monarch and the Sect Leader of Qianling Sect.

"Yes! Since the founding of our Qianling Sect, the Ascendant Platform has received many cultivators from The Lower Realm, but none from the Spirt Control Sect," the man in yellow robes agreed.

Huang Lei, the chief of the Executive Hall of the Qianling Sect.

"The resources are sparse in The Lower Realm; to cultivate to the Soul Transformation Stage is truly difficult. It’s just a pity that the master isn’t here to learn of this news—he would surely be delighted," Mo Bingbing said with a smile.

Two beams of Escape Light flew in and landed inside the hall, revealing Shen Long and Wang Yuyan.

"After using the Spirit Testing Great Array, it’s confirmed that Shen Shizhu indeed hails from the Spirt Control Sect established by Master Uncle Wu in The Lower Realm. He has led the Sect towards glory; the Spirt Control Sect has become the premier sect in the Qian Yang Realm," Wang Yuyan declared.

She had brought Shen Long back to the main headquarters of the Qianling Sect and informed Mo Bingbing. They used the great array to investigate, ensuring Shen Long was without issues.
