Chapter 803: 712 Five Lights Clan’s Plan

A tall, blue-shirted youth flew in from afar, his aura merely that of the early Divinity Transformation Stage.

"Ancestor Yunhua, are you alright?"

The blue-shirted youth asked with concern, his face full of wariness.

A giant red ape stood in an open area, its expression icy cold.

"Taoist Friend Yin’s spirit beast held back, I’m fine."

Li Yunhua said, her beautiful eyes filled with wariness.

A Soul Transformation Cultivator had suddenly come calling, saying he wanted to spar with Li Yunhua. She agreed, not expecting she couldn’t even defeat his spirit beast.

"You’ve shown mercy, Madam Li. I heard your Li Family has a heritage of over sixty thousand years; you must have quite a few treasures! I can exchange some items with you."

Shen Long spoke.

He traveled to various realms, inquiring from lower-stage cultivators about the major powers in each realm to facilitate resource exchange.

Such actions could easily offend others, so naturally, he didn’t use his real name, calling himself Yin Yang.

"Exchange resources?"

Li Yunhua was dubious.

Shen Long took out a green jade box, opened it, and inside were five red pills, each with twelve pill patterns.

"Top Grade Elixirs!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yunhua’s eyes.

She looked hesitant. Unclear of the other’s motive, she feared attracting too much attention from him to her family if she brought out something too precious, and offering ordinary materials might irritate him.

The fact that he had come to her indicated he had an ulterior motive.

"We of the Li Family have nothing good, nothing to match Top Grade Elixirs."

Li Yunhua said with a frown.

The Li Family’s Clan Protection Formation was a fifth-order formation. She believed it could still hold up to some degree.

Shen Long was not one for idle chatter. With a flick of his sleeve, five metallic spheres shimmering in golden light shot out, each hit by a spell.

The five metallic spheres transformed amidst a burst of mechanical sounds into five differently-shaped Puppet Beasts, all of fifth-order.

"I heard the Li Family has a Golden Thunder Bamboo several tens of thousands of years old. I can exchange a fifth-order Puppet Beast for it."

Shen Long said meaningfully.

Courtesy before force, a few tens of thousands-year-old Six Cleansing Bamboos could easily refine a middle-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

Seeing the five fifth-order Puppet Beasts, the faces of Li Yunhua and the blue-shirted man turned ugly. They realized that if they did not agree, the Puppet Beasts might be used to attack the Li Family’s Clan Protection Formation.

"Taoist Friend Yin, please wait a moment, I’ll be right back."

Li Yunhua said, transforming into an Escape Light and speeding away.

In the Cultivation Realm, strength dictates rules. The other party was already being polite. Had he really wished to seize by force, the Red Fire Monkey would have slain Li Yunhua already.

Shen Long remained where he was, quietly waiting.

A cup of tea’s time later, Li Yunhua returned, holding a Golden Thunder Bamboo more than thirty feet tall, its roots intact.

"Taoist Friend Yin, this Golden Thunder Bamboo is over forty thousand years old. How about exchanging it for a fifth-order Puppet Beast?"

Li Yunhua said.

If this were in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, such a trade—a forty thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo for a fifth-order Puppet Beast—would be a huge loss. But here in The Lower Realm, the Golden Thunder Bamboo was ultimately inanimate, while a fifth-order Puppet Beast was equivalent to a Soul Transformation Stage guard.

Li Yunhua really wanted to exchange for a few more fifth-order Puppet Beasts, but she dared not ask, unsure if he was sincere.

"Let’s exchange it for two fifth-order Puppet Beasts! Plus these few Top Grade Elixirs."

Shen Long said with a smile, taking the Golden Thunder Bamboo and giving Li Yunhua five Top Grade Elixirs and two fifth-order Puppet Beasts.

Even so, he had made a huge profit.

Li Yunhua was initially taken aback, but quickly recovered and expressed her gratitude.

"Mountains do not change, rivers flow forever, may we meet again if fate allows."

Shen Long stored away the Puppet Beast and the Red Fire Monkey, and released a fifth-order Ice Eagle, stepping onto its back.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Ice Eagle stirred up a cold wind and soared into the high sky, soon disappearing into the horizon.

"What is the background of this Taoist Friend Yin? I have never heard of such a person in the Qinghua Realm?"

The man in the blue shirt expressed his doubts.

"I’m not sure, but they’re not someone we can afford to provoke. Luckily, this person bore no malice; otherwise, he would have attacked and killed us just now. Order the Enforcement Hall to severely punish a group of clansmen violating the regulations; do not let them provoke those they shouldn’t provoke."

Li Yunhua spoke slowly, her heart finally relaxing.

She, too, had discerned that Shen Long bore no malice, otherwise he would not have been so amenable.

...

The Five Lights Realm, one of many lower realms.

The Five Lights Mountain Range, located in the southwest of the Five Lights Realm, stretched out for millions of miles.

More than two hundred thousand years ago, the Five Lights Clan was still a small clan within the Five Lights Realm. They produced two members with extraordinary talents who cultivated to the Divinity Transformation Stage, leading the Five Lights Clan to become one of the top clans in the realm.

Since then, the strength of the Five Lights Clan grew stronger, and now, it had become the most powerful clan in the Five Lights Realm with clansmen spread across over a dozen realms.

Deep within the Five Lights Mountain Range stood an imposing golden hall. On a plaque above the entrance, three silver characters read "Five Lights Hall."

A burly golden-robed youth sat solemnly on the main seat.

More than ten Soul Transformation Cultivators sat on either side, each bearing a different expression.

"We have tasks at hand in the Lower Realm, and we still lack Soul Transformation Cultivators within our clan," the golden-robed youth instructed, "Mo Lei, distribute the resources, and cultivate more Soul Transformation Cultivators; we need them for a significant purpose."

Mo Xin, at the middle stage of Soul Transformation.

The Five Lights Clan had sent five mid-stage Soul Transformation Cultivators to the Lower Realm, with Mo Xin as their leader.

In the Lower Realm, the Five Lights Clan had over fifty Soul Transformation Cultivators, their influence spreading across more than a dozen realms. Truth be told, the Five Light Clan’s strength was formidable. However, with tens of thousands of subsidiary realms within the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, finding the avatar of Fairy Yulian was exceedingly arduous.

Mo Xin and his team brought down considerable cultivation resources, including numerous fifth-order elixirs and lower-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, which aided Nascent Soul Cultivators in breaking through to the Soul Transformation Stage.

Mo Xin planned to have the Five Lights Clan cultivate more Soul Transformation Cultivators and then disperse them to search for Fairy Yulian’s avatar. Without any leads, they had no choice but to cast a wide net—maybe they might find her!

"Yes, Taoist Friend Mo," replied a portly, yellow-robed elder, agreeing readily.

"Mo Hai, Mo Yue, you four should not idle either. Go to other realms to set up messaging arrays, which will facilitate communication and allow us to covertly investigate her whereabouts."

Mo Xin instructed.

They had brought a significant amount of array-setting materials, capable of setting up fifth-order Messaging Arrays to facilitate communication.

"Understood, leave it to us," a slim youth in a blue shirt declared, patting his chest.

"Taoist Friend Mo, who is this ’she’ you mentioned? Do you need our help?"

Mo Lei asked.

"There’s no need for your help for the time being. Just set up the Messaging Arrays properly first. Lead them to other realms and introduce them to our other clansmen to facilitate our command."

Mo Xin instructed.

Many clansmen in the Lower Realm were unfamiliar with them, and without introductions by Mo Lei and others, other clansmen might not obey their orders.

"No problem, leave it to us," Mo Lei assured him.
