Chapter 694: 603 Elite Gathering (Request for Monthly Tickets)_1

Three days passed quickly, Qianling Garden, a secluded courtyard with green tiles.

Shen Long, Li Tianxue, Li Qing, Mo Qingwu, Lin Long and others sat in a green stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting idly.

"The Lion Griffin Beasts of the Ni Family possess the Thunder Roc bloodline, and the Red Scale Beasts of the Shangguan Family possess the Fire Qilin bloodline, it’s no wonder they are long-standing major powers."

Mo Qingwu said with envy painted across her face.

The divine skills of the Lion Griffin Beasts are extraordinary, and they are also a standard among the Ni Family’s disciples, which is a representation of their foundation.

"The Ni Family has a history of over one million years, and the Shangguan Family has been around for several hundred thousand years. It’s normal for them to have profound foundations. Our Qianling Sect is also nurturing the offspring of powerful spirit beasts, but it is difficult to pass down their bloodlines through reproduction."

Li Tianxue spoke slowly.

When a Scarlet Flame Lion mates with a Thunder Roc, their offspring are Lion Griffin Beasts. As a Lion Griffin Beast grows to high levels, it may evolve towards either the Scarlet Flame Lion or the Thunder Roc. How to ensure the Thunder Roc bloodline becomes dominant requires a lot of effort and resources for research.

Qianling Sect also has specialists responsible for breeding powerful spirit beasts’ offspring, but so far, no significant progress has been made.

Li Qing took out a Law Disk, its green light in constant flux, and cast a spell, making a series of gestures.

"Taoist Friend Ni has invited us to a gathering. Given the large number of Soul Transformation Cultivators visiting, they are receiving us separately."

Li Qing said, leading Shen Long and the others out.

A group of Ni Family cultivators stood at the entrance of Qianling Garden, led by a buxom woman in a blue dress.

"I am Ni Qingqing, and I greet all the Taoist Friends. I truly apologize; there are too many Soul Transformation Cultivators visiting, so we have to receive you separately. Please understand if we are not able to attend to everyone properly," the woman in the blue dress said courteously after a full curtsy.

"Madam Ni is too polite. We will follow your arrangements," Li Qing said in a gentle tone.

Disciples of Qianling Sect split into several groups and followed Ni Qingqing away.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shen Long, Li Qing, Li Tianxue, Lin Long, Mo Qingwu, Ni Qingqing, and others appeared in a garden filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs.

The air was thick with the fragrance of flowers, and along the way, Shen Long and the rest saw a variety of spirit flowers, no two kinds alike, with flocks of white spirit bees collecting spirit honey amongst the floral sea.

The white spirit bees had four wings on their backs, their bodies and eyes both snowy white.

"Snow Pupil Cold Bees!"

Shen Long was secretly astonished.

The Snow Pupil Cold Bees were ranked three hundred and forty-five on the list of ten thousand insects, proficient in Ice Attribute divine skills, and the spirit honey they produced was quite effective in healing fire poison.

Before long, they arrived at a quiet little courtyard with a green stone pavilion inside. Over twenty Soul Transformation Cultivators were sitting in the pavilion.

"Ancestor Tianhe, Taoist Friend Li and the others have arrived," Ni Qingqing introduced them.

A tall young man in blue clothes stood up and said, "I am Ni Tianhe, a pleasure to meet all the Taoist Friends, please take a seat."

"I am Li Qing, a pleasure to meet all the Taoist Friends," Li Qing introduced himself, with Shen Long and the rest stating their names in turn.

Shen Long and the others took their seats, continuing to sip tea and chat idly.

"I’m Li Xing. Taoist Friend Shen, do you know Master Uncle Huo?" asked a handsome young man in a white shirt curiously.

"My name is Zhang Yi. I heard from Master Uncle Huo that Taoist Friend Shen ascended from The Lower Realm," a buxom woman in a purple dress said, looking at Shen Long with a face full of curiosity.

"Senior Huo was carrying out a mission in The Lower Realm. By chance, I fought alongside him, and that’s how I got to know Senior Huo. It has been many years since I’ve seen him, and now Senior Huo has advanced to the Refinement Void Phase," Shen Long explained.

"So Taoist Friend Shen is actually an Ascendant Cultivator! Ascendant Cultivators are indeed rare," a loud male voice chimed in from outside.

No sooner had the voice faded when a burly green-clad man with a broad waist strode in, followed by three identical-looking young women in green dresses.

"I am Shangguan Zilong; I greet all Taoist Friends here,"

the man in the green robe said as he clasped his fists, his voice resonant.

"I’m the younger sister, Shangguan Ziyu. These two are my sisters, Shangguan Zifei and Shangguan Ziqing,"

the girl in the green dress introduced herself.

"I’ve long heard that the Shangguan Family possesses a powerful combined attack technique. The three fairies from the Shangguan family must be cultivating that technique, right?"

Lin Long asked curiously.

"Indeed, we sisters are cultivating the combined attack technique. Would you like to have a sparring match with us, Taoist Friend?"

Shangguan Ziyu asked with a smile.

"That’s not it; I’m just curious."

Lin Long said, with a wry smile.

Shangguan Ziyu’s gaze fell upon Shen Long as she said, "I didn’t expect to meet an Ascendant Cultivator here; that’s quite rare."

"Madam Shangguan flatters me,"

Shen Long replied modestly.

"It’s not flattery. It’s the truth. To have cultivated to the Divinity Transformation Stage from the resource-scarce Lower Realm is indeed not an easy feat,"

Shangguan Zilong said with a look of admiration.

Ni Tianhe gestured for the four from the Shangguan family to sit down and said with a smile, "I didn’t expect Taoist Friend Shen to be an Ascendant Cultivator; my apologies for the oversight."

"Taoist Friend Shen, could you tell us about the situation in The Lower Realm?"

Li Xing asked with curiosity.

Most of the Soul Transformation Cultivators present had never been to The Lower Realm and were quite curious about it.

Shen Long gave a brief introduction to The Lower Realm, mentioning the Tianyuan Tribe.

"You’ve killed a Divinity Transformation Cultivator from the Tianyuan Tribe, Taoist Friend Shen? That’s no easy feat. I’ve also crossed hands with cultivators from the Tianyuan Tribe. Their innate divine ability, the Tianyuan Divine Light, is indeed formidable,"

Shangguan Zilong praised.

"Junior Brother Shen, does the Tianyuan Tribe not have any weaknesses?"

Mo Qingwu asked curiously.

"Of course, they do. The Tianyuan Divine Light has a time limit. Generally speaking, the higher the cultivation, the longer it can be sustained. Once that time passes, they enter a period of weakness. You can drag out the fight until they are weak and then finish them off,"

Shen Long explained.

"In theory, yes, but it’s difficult to drag the battle out that long. I’ve fought with Tianyuan Tribe cultivators; if they can’t win, they simply flee. They definitely won’t engage in a drawn-out battle with you,"

Ni Tianhe analyzed.

"Taoist Friend Shangguan, I’ve heard that The Thunder Continent has an abundance of thunder attribute spirit beasts and spirit insects. Do you have some powerful thunder attribute creatures that you could show us to broaden our horizons?"

Li Tianxue asked, full of curiosity.

As soon as these words were spoken, most of the Soul Transformation Cultivators turned their gazes toward Shangguan Zilong.

Most of the Soul Transformation Cultivators present had never been to The Thunder Continent, and their understanding of it primarily came from books.

Shangguan Zilong nodded, gave a flick of his wrist, and a streak of green lightning shot out from his Spirit Beast Bracelet. It landed on the ground and materialized into a huge green rhinoceros with a yellow horn on its head.

"This is the Rift Valley Thunder Rhinoceros, proficient in both Earth and Thunder Divine Skills."

Shangguan Zilong introduced.

Shangguan Ziyu flicked her wrist, and a streak of golden lightning flew out, transforming into a golden centipede with three heads and a pair of thin blue wings on its back.

"The Wind Thunder Centipede! Skilled in Wind and Thunder attributes Divine Skills, it possesses the Hundred-Headed Insect Bloodline and can unleash different attributes of the power of thunder and lightning from its three heads,"

Shangguan Ziyu introduced.

"The Wind Thunder Centipede, the Hundred-Headed Insect Bloodline?"

Shen Long became instantly interested; the Hundred-Headed Insect was a True Spirit.
