Chapter 658: 567 Hundred Eyes Cicada Mutation (Gone Today)_1

Sixty years had passed, and a Voice Transmission Paper Crane flew into the Practice Room, circling around Shen Long without stopping.

Shen Long’s body was enveloped in a yellow halo, his body covered with yellow mane, resembling a Yellow Giant Ape.

After a while, the yellow halo on his body dissipated, and the yellow mane also vanished.

He transmitted a spell into the paper crane, and Sun Lin’s voice rang out, "Uncle Shen, Grandmaster Li sent someone to contact the disciples, saying that the newly advanced Void Refining Cultivator of the Nine Flames Sect is holding a Void Refinement Celebration and invites us from the Qianling Sect to participate. Grandmaster Li will lead the team. Are you interested in going with us?"

Shen Long took out a red Messaging Plate, entered a spell into it, and asked, "Senior Brother Wang, is Uncle Li leading the team to attend the Void Refinement Celebration at the Nine Flames Sect?"

"Indeed, if Junior Brother Shen is available, it would be good to go and meet some people. Oh, I’ve heard that the Golden Lotus True Monarch will also be there."

A loud, masculine voice responded.

"Golden Lotus True Monarch! Really?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

Qin Yan had already refined the Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pill. Shen Long received only one top-grade Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pill, but he was unclear how many Li Dong and the others received.

"Of course, it’s true. This is the news released by the Nine Flames Sect. In the early years, the Nine Flames Sect obtained a Golden Lotus Command. This time they are inviting the Golden Lotus True Monarch to the celebration, probably to ask him for a divination!"

The man explained.

"Senior Brother Wang, when do we leave?"

Shen Long inquired.

"A month from now. We will meet at the Qianling Platform,"

the man replied.

After chatting casually for a while, Shen Long cut off the connection, his face revealing a contemplative expression.

"Golden Lotus True Monarch! I didn’t expect him to appear. I hope he can do a divination for me,"

Shen Long murmured to himself.

He entered the Myriad Beasts Tower and arrived at the second floor, appearing above a red, Red Fire volcano.

More than a dozen Red Fire Monkeys were active on the volcano, most of them at the second rank.

A streak of red light flew from afar, landing before Shen Long, revealing a gigantic Red Fire Monkey.

"Your Excellency, you’ve arrived,"

the Red Fire Monkey spoke.

During the trip to the Secret Realm, Shen Long had subdued two Red Fire Monkeys and placed them in the volcano cluster on the second floor, where they had bred more than a dozen Red Fire Monkeys.

Since they were subjugated en route by Shen Long, strictly speaking, Shen Long wasn’t their master, so the Red Fire Monkeys addressed Shen Long as Your Excellency.

"How do you feel being here?"

Shen Long asked.

A red firelight lit up, as the Fire Qilin Beast appeared.

"Master, I haven’t bullied them,"

the Fire Qilin Beast spoke up.

"This place is very nice. My children and I all like it here. My mate also likes it,"

the Red Fire Monkey continued.

This place was rich in Fire Spirit Qi and was planted with many fire attribute Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Fruits.

Shen Long nodded, took out a red porcelain bottle, handed it to the Red Fire Monkey, and said, "Here’s a bottle of Nurturing-Beast Pills for you. Listen to the Fire Qilin Beast and don’t run around."

"Yes, Your Excellency,"

the Red Fire Monkey agreed, taking the red porcelain bottle with both hands.

"With the addition of a group of Red Fire Monkeys, have they disrupted your cultivation?"

Shen Long looked at the Fire Qilin Beast and said, smiling as he took out a red Demon Core and a Nurturing-Beast Pill to feed the beast.

"They’re quite well-behaved and don’t bother me. My Divine Skills are much stronger than theirs, and the Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen is also stronger than them,"

the Fire Qilin Beast stated.

The sudden addition of two fifth-rank Red Fire Monkeys gave the Fire Qilin Beast a sense of crisis, fearing that Shen Long might focus on grooming the Red Fire Monkeys and neglect it.

"They have another purpose. You’ve been with me since you were young, and your treatment is certainly better than theirs. Don’t worry."

Shen Long explained.

He had another use for taming the Red Fire Monkeys; it was just that their small number couldn’t accomplish much.

"Understood, Master. Anyway, I’ll follow Master’s orders,"

the Fire Qilin Beast agreed.

The Fire Qilin Beast agreed.

A golden-red fire cloud flew over, carrying the Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen and twelve Four-Winged Fire Ants.

After consuming a massive amount of fifth-grade ores, the twelve Four-Winged Fire Ants attracted a Fifty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. Being Mutated Spirit Insects, the power of the tribulation was relatively strong.

Fortunately, Shen Long used his Kind Attribute to exchange for twelve three-thousand-year-old Seven Stars Cold Moon Grasses, which allowed them to easily pass the tribulation and advance to the fifth grade.

After ascending to the fifth grade, the Four-Winged Fire Ant Queen’s Purity of Bloodline also increased to five, granting it the ability to speak human language.

Both the Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen and the Fire Qilin Beast were in the middle stage of the fifth grade, and over the years, they had consumed large amounts of fifth-grade ores. Shen Long had not skimped on feeding them Nurturing-Beast Pills.

Calculating the time, Shen Long had ascended to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot for over two hundred years.

Shen Long flicked his sleeve, and a large amount of golden-red ores shot out, landing on the ground.

"Enjoy your feast!"

Shen Long said, flicking his sleeve again, fourteen Nurturing-Beast Pills shot out.

Two for the Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen, and one for each of the twelve Four-Winged Fire Ants.

"Thank you, Master."

The Gold-Winged Fire Ant Queen and the Four-Winged Fire Ants each voiced their thanks.

Shen Long went to the third layer and appeared in front of the Heavenly Dragon Fruit tree.

After careful inspection, he discovered the Heavenly Dragon Fruit tree had been growing for over seventy thousand years and would need over ten thousand more years to mature.

The Tree Person hurried over, currently at the early stage of the fifth grade.

"Master, you have arrived."

The Tree Person spoke.

The ground bulged, and the Iron Tail Scorpion broke through the earth, its presence much stronger than before as it had advanced to the middle stage of the fifth grade.

"Master, I have advanced to the middle stage of the fifth grade."

The voice of the Iron Tail Scorpion was filled with joy.

"Not bad."

Shen Long praised, feeding it a fifth-grade Demon Scorpion’s poison core and a Nurturing-Beast Pill.

A golden escape light flew from the distance and landed before Shen Long, revealing the Hundred Eyes Cicada.

"Oh, you’ve woken up."

Shen Long was pleasantly surprised.

He fed the Hundred Eyes Cicada a top-grade Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pill, after which it fell into a deep sleep.

"Master, I feel I’ve acquired a new Divine Skill, which should be the Mutated Divine Power you spoke of."

The Hundred Eyes Cicada said, its eyes emitting golden light that enveloped the surroundings, revealing nothing unusual.

"It might be related to formations! Follow me."

Shen Long commanded and brought the Hundred Eyes Cicada to a small valley.

He took out Formation Flags and an Array Plate to set up a formation, allowing the Hundred Eyes Cicada to attempt breaking the prohibition.

After a lot of probing, Shen Long discovered the purpose of the Hundred Eyes Cicada’s Mutated Divine Power, which could weaken the strength of fifth-grade formations.

"Good, let’s call this Mutated Divine Power the Cicada Divine Light!"

Shen Long exclaimed with joy.

The Fire Qilin Beast possessed the Realm-Breaking Divine Light, capable of breaking through the same rank beings’ light shield defenses. The Hundred Eyes Cicada’s Cicada Divine Light could weaken the power of fifth-grade formations, which was quite fearsome.

Most of Shen Long’s fifth-grade formations were Five Elements Formations; he was not sure if it would work on other formations.

Now that the Hundred Eyes Cicada had mastered the Cicada Divine Light, it would be much more convenient to break formations and search for treasures.

"It’s all thanks to the top-grade Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pill Master gave me."

The Hundred Eyes Cicada said modestly.

Shen Long fed it a Nurturing-Beast Pill and a fifth-grade Demon Pill and went to the fourth layer.

The sea churned and surged as the Water Lie Beast appeared, currently at the late stage of the fourth grade.

"Master, you’ve come."

The Water Lie Beast said.

"You’ve advanced to the late stage of the fourth grade, not bad, you are not far from the fifth grade."

Shen Long praised.
