Chapter 839: 748 Shennong Convention (not today)

Seven days had passed, and Shangguan Yunlou returned to Golden Roc Peak, where he met Shen Long.

"Taoist Friend Shen, are you ready?"

Shangguan Yunlou got straight to the point.

Shen Long nodded and replied, "I’m ready, Taoist Friend Shangguan, please follow me!"

They arrived at the outskirts of a giant valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, where Huang Lei had been waiting for a long while.

"Uncle Shen, everything is arranged. How do you find this place?"

Huang Lei indicated the valley as he spoke.

"It’s quite nice here, but I’m not sure if they will like it."

Shen Long flicked his wrist, and a deafening roar of a dragon resounded as the Ice Flood Dragon flew out from the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

Shangguan Yunlou flicked his wrist as well, and a streak of black light emerged from the Spirit Beast Bracelet, transforming into a huge black Flood Dragon.

The black Flood Dragon had a black horn on its head, its body covered in masses of black scales.

"You and I are both at the sixth-middle stage; why should I mate with you?"

The Ink Flood Dragon spoke haughtily in human tongue.

"I should be asking you the same question. If you’re too weak, I might not even want to mate with you."

The Ice Flood Dragon responded coldly, its body radiated with spiritual light, emitting a unique aura.

The Ink Flood Dragon’s body shivered, instinctively sensing an overpowering pressure, a bloodline oppression.

The Ice Flood Dragon let out a long howl and flew up into the sky, followed by the Ink Flood Dragon.

Shen Long and Shangguan Yunlou said nothing as the two Flood Dragons circled each other in the air, testing each other with their unique methods.

If the Ice Flood Dragon had summoned its True Dragon Dharma Nature, it would have easily subdued the Ink Flood Dragon, but Shen Long did not allow it to do so.

After about half an hour, the Ice Flood Dragon and the Ink Flood Dragon landed in the giant valley, with the Ink Flood Dragon shedding some of its scales, its injuries not severe, while the Ice Flood Dragon remained unscathed.

Convinced after testing each other, the Ink Flood Dragon conceded.

"Just mate here! After some time, we will come back to check on you."

Shen Long spoke.

Huang Lei took out a five-sided Law Disk shimmering with yellow light, input a spell, and a surge of yellow fog emerged from the ground, engulfing the entire giant valley.

"Taoist Friend Shangguan, let’s go to my abode for a chat!"

Shen Long suggested, leading Shangguan Yunlou away.

Sun Lin had already prepared tea, and Shen Long and Shangguan Yunlou sat down in the Stone Pavilion to have tea and casual chat.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I heard you went to the Thunder Continent?"

Shangguan Yunlou casually asked.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Yes! I attended an auction there and purchased a Miracle Elixir for the assault on the Body Integration Realm, which allowed me to ascend into the Unity Realm."

"Have you heard about Fairy Yulian?"

Shangguan Yunlou asked.

"Yes, I have heard that Fairy Yulian had an Eighth Rank Absorbing Thunder Pearl, and the Five Lights Sect sent several Unity Cultivators to assassinate her. What, has Fairy Yulian’s remains been found?"

Shen Long responded.

"No, there’s also a theory going around that Fairy Yulian had the Remnants of True Spirits, which caused her to be hunted by several Unity Cultivators from the Five Lights Sect,"

Shangguan Yunlou said, smiling.

"I’m not sure about that; only the involved parties would know for sure."

Shen Long remained unconcerned.

Shangguan Yunlou nodded, they chatted casually for a while, and then he left to rest.

Chu Buyu walked out from a side courtyard with a slightly furrowed brow, attempting to say something but was stopped by Shen Long.

They entered a Practice Room and proceeded into the Myriad Beasts Tower.

"Husband, why do I feel like Taoist Friend Shangguan was implying something in his words?"

Chu Buyu said with a frown.

"Hmm, he didn’t clarify, so let’s play dumb. Even if he knows I have been to the Han Family, there’s no evidence to prove that I found the incarnation of Fairy Yulian."

Shen Long said nonchalantly.

Lin Lian had ascended into the Void Refinement Stage and was currently cultivating on the fourth level of the Myriad Beasts Tower.

Except for Lin Lian, no one knew that Shen Long and Chu Buyu had obtained the Xuantian Object.

Chu Buyu nodded, "We better be cautious. I feel that he’s not just here for breeding the Ink Flood Dragon."

"I have the same feeling, let’s be cautious!"

Shen Long said solemnly.

After chatting for a while, Shen Long and Chu Buyu left the Myriad Beasts Tower and went about their separate businesses.

...

In a serene manor, Ni Tianting and Shangguan Yunlou were sitting in a Green Stone Pavilion. A green-light flashing precious umbrella floated above their heads, casting a green light screen over them.

"Has Taoist Friend Shen been to the Han Family in the Ziyu Mountain Range?"

Ni Tianting asked.

"Only a suspicion. I have no evidence. There is evidence that a powerful Void Refinement Cultivator visited the Han Family, and he owns a sixth-rank Ice Flood Dragon with the True Dragon Bloodline."

Shangguan Yunlou’s expression was grave.

"Do you suspect that Taoist Friend Shen destroyed the Han Family? Brother Yunlou, does the Shangguan Family have close ties with the Han Family?"

Ni Tianting asked, puzzled.

"No, not really. We received reliable information that the Han Family possessed a Ten Thousand Spirits Command. We suspect that the destruction of the Han Family is related to the command. We also can’t rule out the possibility that the Five Lights Sect Cultivator had them destroyed, hoping to find clues about Fairy Yulian’s incarnation from the Han Family."

Shangguan Yunlou explained slowly.

"Do you think Taoist Friend Shen has been turned by the Five Lights Clan? You are worrying too much. I can’t speak for other things, but I am certain that Taoist Friend Shen would not join a different clan."

Ni Tianting said firmly.

"On what basis?"

Shangguan Yunlou asked, puzzled.

"Taoist Friend Shen is an Ascendant Cultivator. He eradicated many heterodox cultivators who were hostile towards the Human Clan in The Lower Realm. After ascending to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, he made great contributions during the major racial wars. He has no reason to join the Five Lights Clan, nor do they have any reason to woo him, especially considering he has killed several Void Refinement cultivators from the Bloodvine Clan."

Ni Tianting explained.

"I also don’t quite believe he would join the Five Lights Clan. Actually, I am more concerned about locating the Ten Thousand Spirits Command. Within thirty thousand years, the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven will open again. Without the command, it’s impossible to enter and find treasures in the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven. You don’t know the extent to which minor clans on the Thunder Continent fought over a single command, resulting in countless deaths and injuries."

Shangguan Yunlou explained.

"I understand. Such matters can’t be forced. Even if one can enter the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven, it’s not guaranteed that they will find great opportunities. Both chance and luck are essential."

Ni Tianting remarked.

Shangguan Yunlou nodded, formed a spell with his fingers, and with a swift rotation of the green precious umbrella, the green light screen dispersed.

After chatting for a while, Ni Tianting went back to rest.

A month later, Shangguan Yunlou revisited Golden Roc Peak and successfully met with Shen Long.

"It should be ready now."

Shangguan Yunlou said.

Shen Long nodded and followed Shangguan Yunlou to the outside of a huge valley, commanding Huang Lei to remove the restrictions.

Two resounding dragon roars filled the air as the Ice Flood Dragon and the Ink Flood Dragon flew out of the valley.

"Mating is over, we are leaving. Let’s go back!"

Shangguan Yunlou said.

The Ink Flood Dragon flew toward Shangguan Yunlou but stopped midway, looking back at the Ice Flood Dragon.

"If I have the chance, I will come with my master to see you."

The Ice Flood Dragon said.

"It’s a promise."

After saying this, the Ink Flood Dragon flew back into Shangguan Yunlou’s Spirit Beast Bracelet.

"Taoist Friend Shen, thank you. When you have time, please visit our Shangguan Family. I am otherwise engaged and must take my leave now."

After saying this, Shangguan Yunlou made his departure.

The disciples of the Shangguan Family had already left the Qianling Sect and rushed to other places.

Su Changfeng flew over, bowed deeply to Shen Long, and addressed him, "Master, the Shennong Pavilion is holding the Shennong Conference and is inviting you to participate."

He took out a gold-embossed invitation and handed it to Shen Long.

"Shennong Conference?"

Shen Long was a bit surprised as he took the invitation.

As far as he knew, the Shennong Conference was a grand assembly organized by Shennong Pavilion, primarily for exchanging doctrines with other Unity Cultivators, as well as for resource exchange and discussing the Alchemy Technique.

Given Shennong Pavilion’s status on the Green Lotus Continent, by sending an invitation to Shen Long, it showed that they recognized his strength or level of proficiency in alchemy.
