Chapter 660: 569 The Lower Realm Recent Situation_1

If they could truly evolve towards the Ice Phoenix, Shen Long could cultivate even more powerful Spirit Birds.

In the corner of the ice cave, two white peach trees stood thirty feet tall, each tree bore over a hundred oval-shaped white peaches, the Ice Peach Trees.

The two Ice Eagles flapped their wings lightly and flew towards the Ice Peach Tree.

They each ate two Ice Peaches and then lay down on top of the Ice Peach Tree.

Shen Long walked out and found himself amidst rolling white mountain ranges. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that a great variety of Ice Attribute Spiritual Medicine and Ice Attribute Spirit Fruit Trees were planted here, the younger ones being around forty to fifty years old, while the elder ones were over a thousand years in age.

Shen Long came to a white palace that was over ten feet tall at the entrance of which hung a signboard with the words "Ice Moon Palace" inscribed. The palace doors were shut tight.

He pushed open the palace doors and entered. Inside, the palace was spacious and bright, with a bluestone corridor to the left leading to three secret chambers at the end.

Reaching the first chamber, a giant white Array that spanned a hundred feet came into view.

Studded upon the Array were hundreds of uniform indents, each filled with a top-quality Spirit Stone.

A Fifth Grade Array, the Eight Gates Profound Ice Formation, which Shen Long had seized from his enemies.

The Ice Moon Palace was also captured from an enemy. The Eight Gates Profound Ice Formation covered tens of thousands of miles of mountain ranges, and this was where Shen Long raised his Ice series Spirit Birds.

He took out a square white token on which the words "Profound Ice" were engraved on the front.

He infused it with Mana, and the white token emitted a blinding light, sending out a beam that vanished into the Array.

The Array began to tremble slightly as all the Array Patterns shone brightly.

Taking the ice cave where the Ice Eagles resided as the center, a large amount of white cold air surged out in a radius of a hundred miles. This cold air was the transformation of the Array itself.

Before advancing to the third rank, they had no way to burst through the white cold air.

Outside the white cold air, there were even more Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruit Trees, some of which were of higher age.

Shen Long exited the Myriad Beasts Tower and headed to the Alchemy Room to start refining Elixirs.

From his adventure in the Secret Realm, Shen Long had obtained two clusters of Fifth Grade Spirit Flame. With the Qinglian True Flame refining the two clusters of Fifth Grade Spirit Flame, Shen Long’s efficiency in alchemy greatly increased. Sadly, he was still unable to concoct supreme grade Elixirs.

Qianyang Realm, Cultivation Realm of the Northern Sea.

Sun Moon Palace, an Artifact Refining Room.

Chu Buyu sat cross-legged on a red cushion, her gaze fixed intently on a red Refining Furnace not far away, engulfed by snow-blue Spirit Flame.

After a while, Chu Buyu’s spell changed, and the lid of the red Refining Furnace flew open, from which a red flying dagger, shimmering with light, flew out and hovered in mid-air.

The red flying dagger was about a foot long, with a blade width of an inch. On it were engraved the words "Lihuo," emitting astonishing Spiritual Energy.

"I’ve finally managed to forge a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure," Chu Buyu murmured to herself, her face alight with joy.

After more than two hundred years of recuperation, the Qian Yang Realm had recovered a considerable amount of vitality. The Spirit Control Sect still stood as the foremost sect in the Qian Yang Realm, Yuan Rui took the Tianyuan Sword to other realms for trade and to gather resources.

Han Feng from the Qingmei Realm had already ascended to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, leaving Chu Buyu as the sole Fifth Rank Artifact Refiner in the entire Qian Yang Realm.

Yuan Rui gave Chu Buyu the Fifth Grade materials for Artifact Refining that he had collected, asking her to help forge a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. After one failure, Chu Buyu had successfully forged a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

With a wave of her hand, the Lihuo Dagger flew towards her and landed in her grasp.

She took out a red, shimmering Messaging Plate, injected a spell into it, and a respectful female voice rang out, "Master, Elder Yuan from the Spirit Control Sect has arrived and is in the receiving hall."

"Got it, I’ll be right there," Chu Buyu said, putting away the Messaging Plate and walking out.

In the receiving hall, Yuan Rui sat on a chair with a gracefully figured girl in a gold dress standing respectfully by his side.

"Taoist Friend Yuan, it has been a while," Chu Buyu’s voice sounded.

No sooner had she spoken than Chu Buyu walked in.

She turned to the girl in the gold dress and instructed, "Chen Wei, you may leave. There’s nothing for you here."

"Yes, Master," Chen Wei replied and departed.

"Fairy Chu, how did it go? Was it successful?" Yuan Rui asked, his face full of anticipation.

Chu Buyu took out the Lihuo Blade and passed it to Yuan Rui, smiling as he said, "After failing once, I’ve finally crafted a lower-tier Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure."

Yuan Rui was overwhelmed with joy as he took the Lihuo Blade and praised, "Fairy Chu, your artifact refining skills are not low! To be able to craft a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure after only one failure."

"It’s all thanks to Taoist Friend Yuan for providing the refining materials, otherwise I would have had difficulty crafting this treasure. By the way, didn’t Fairy Ye come with you?" Chu Buyu asked.

"She stayed in the Fire Sun Realm, saying she wanted to stay there for a while," Yuan Rui explained.

He and Red Rainbow Fairy had gone to other realms together. When passing through the Fire Sun Realm, Red Rainbow Fairy had stayed behind.

"Do you have any news of Taoist Friend Shen?" Chu Buyu asked curiously.

"No, Junior Brother Shen has ascended, so no messages can come down," Yuan Rui said, shaking his head. Su Changfeng had already cultivated to Great Perfection of Nascent Soul and was in seclusion, attempting to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Ice Silkworm True Person had failed twice in a row in her attempts to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage and had given up.

"Fairy Chu, these are the fifth-order artifact materials that were agreed upon as your reward. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now," Yuan Rui said as he took out a yellow Storage Bracelet and passed it to Chu Buyu.

Chu Buyu swept it with her Divine Sense, nodded her head, and personally saw Yuan Rui off.

In the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, at the Qianling Sect.

On Golden Roc Peak, Shen Long was sitting in a green Stone Pavilion, conversing with Sun Lin.

"Master Nephew Sun, how long have you been on Golden Roc Peak?" Shen Long asked.

"It’s been over two hundred years, Uncle Shen. Is there something wrong with what I’ve done?" Sun Lin replied, visibly nervous.

He thought he might have done something wrong and that Shen Long was dissatisfied with him, not knowing how many Nascent Soul Cultivators wished to serve Shen Long.

"Nothing at the moment. You’ve worked hard over the years. Here are some resources for you, and another share for the disciple who has been working effectively," Shen Long said as he took out two green Storage Bracelets and handed them to Sun Lin.

"Thank you, Uncle Shen," Sun Lin said, taking the Storage Bracelets with both hands and a look of excitement on his face.

Shen Long looked up into the sky as a streak of golden Escape Light flew from afar and stopped above Golden Roc Peak in a flash.

As the Escape Light vanished, a golden Flying Boat with a continuous flow of golden light emerged. A burly man in a golden robe stood atop the golden Flying Boat, emanating a strong aura of menace.

Wang Yunlong, in the late stage of Divinity Transformation, a disciple of Li Dong.

"Junior Brother Shen, we’re ready to set off," Wang Yunlong said aloud.

"Let’s head over then! We shouldn’t keep Master Uncle Li waiting," Shen Long responded, taking flight and landing on the golden Flying Boat.

The big man in the golden robe pinched a spell, and the golden Flying Boat lit up with a burst of golden light, leaving the place.

Arriving at the Qianling Platform, they found over a hundred Soul Transformation Cultivators gathered, including Liu Xuan, Zhao Tianhu, and Liu Yuan.

Shen Long chatted with acquaintances, and soon, an ear-shattering dragon’s roar resonated. A massive green Flood Dragon appeared in the distant sky and stopped above the Qianling Platform in an instant.

Li Dong and a slim girl dressed in white stood on the head of the green Flood Dragon; both were at the Refinement Void Phase.

"Everyone, come aboard!" Li Dong called out.

Shen Long and the others responded and flew onto the back of the green Flood Dragon.

The green Flood Dragon shook its head and flapped its tail, soaring into the high sky, leaving the Qianling Sect behind.
