Chapter 840: 749 Demon Hunting at Sea

This was also a recognition of the power of Qianling Sect. No matter what, Yuling True Monarch had reached the late stages of Unity, and forces like Nine Flames Sect, Li Family, Qi Family, Blood Flame Sect, and Yinluo Sect didn’t have anyone in the late stages of Unity.

"Yes. The deputy head of Shennong Pavilion’s disciple, Fairy Qingzhi, personally came to deliver the invitation. The Sect Master Senior Sister received Fairy Qingzhi, and she is still with our sect."

Su Changfeng explained.

"I see. I’ll be there to attend the Shennong Grand Assembly. By the way, any news about the seventh-grade Spirit Flame?"

Shen Long asked.

"Not at the moment! I’ve already dispatched more personnel to inquire about the seventh-grade Spirit Flame."

Su Changfeng said truthfully.

Shen Long nodded, gave a few instructions, and then left the area.

Returning to Golden Roc Peak, Shen Long saw Chu Buyu sitting in the Stone Pavilion, sipping tea.

He sat down in the Stone Pavilion, and Chu Buyu poured a cup of Spiritual Tea for Shen Long.

"Shennong Pavilion is hosting the Shennong Grand Assembly and has invited me to participate."

Shen Long said with a smile after taking a sip of the Spiritual Tea.

"When will the Shennong Grand Assembly be held?"

Chu Buyu asked.

"In fifty years. Shennong Pavilion has sent out invitations in advance; it’s an old tradition. I plan to go to the Outer Sea to hunt seventh-grade Monster Beasts to help Shen Peng ascend to the Unity stage as soon as possible."

Shen Long explained.

After hosting the Unity celebration, he had obtained five top-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, significantly enhancing his strength, and with three kinds of Art of Transformation, he had no problems eliminating seventh-grade Monster Beasts.

"I’ll go with you, husband,"

Chu Buyu said.

"That won’t be necessary, my wife. Focus on your cultivation and strive to reach Great Perfection in Void Refinement early."

Shen Long declined.

Chu Buyu nodded and said, "Be very careful; there are many seventh-grade Monster Beasts in the Outer Sea."

"I will be. I’ve already sent Master Nephew Yang to Qinglian Marketplace to gather information."

Shen Long said solemnly.

After giving a few more instructions, he left Qianling Sect.

······

Myriad Wood Mountain Range, Wang Family.

Wang Yunsong stood at the top of a high peak, looking towards a distant huge pit emitting black smoke.

"It actually attracted nine eight-color heavenly thunders; the seventh-grade Absorbing Thunder Pearl couldn’t withstand it."

Wang Yunsong sighed. A member of the Wang Family was striving to Ascend to the Mahayana Realm, had barely passed the Heart Demon Pass, but had fallen under the Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

The stronger the Cultivator, the stronger the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

······

Qinglian Archipelago, Qinglian Marketplace.

The streets were bustling with crowds, and the noise of carriages filled the air.

Shen Long strolled along the wide and clean streets, leisurely looking around.

Yang Shenghai and a voluptuous woman in a green dress hurried towards Shen Long, bowed deeply, and said, "Disciple Yang Shenghai (Li Yun), greets Uncle Shen."

Decades ago, Shen Long had sent them to Qinglian Marketplace to gather information about seventh-grade Monster Beasts.

The Yang Family was initially a minor clan but had developed well after clinging to Shen Long’s powerful influence. Currently, they had over ten Void Refinement Cultivators. Serving Shen Long had significantly elevated Yang Shenghai’s status within Qianling Sect.

"Let’s talk at your residence,"

Shen Long said.

Yang Shenghai and Li Yun agreed and led the way.

Half an hour later, they arrived at a nine-story high Green Pavilion, with "Qianling Pavilion" inscribed on the plaque above the entrance.

Shen Long entered Qianling Pavilion and took a seat at the head of the table, where Yang Shenghai and Li Yun detailed the intelligence they had gathered over the years.

"What? A seventh-order Flood Dragon has been spotted?"

Shen Long was somewhat astonished.

"Yes! It was a seventh-order Ink Flood Dragon, which killed two Unity Cultivators and severely injured another, and now its whereabouts are unknown."

Yang Shenghai reported truthfully.

"Uncle Shen, these areas often have seventh-order Monster Beasts appearing."

Li Yun pulled out a blue beast hide and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long received the beast hide and discovered it was a map marked with some texts.

"Has there been any major event in the Outer Sea?"

Shen Long continued to inquire.

"A Li family clan was exterminated. It’s said that the Li Family had a seventh-order Absorbing Thunder Pearl, and once the news leaked, they were destroyed by a Unity Cultivator. There’s also a claim that the Li Family possessed a Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure that attracted the coveting of Different Clan Cultivators."

Yang Shenghai explained.

Shen Long asked several more questions, to which Yang Shenghai and Li Yun answered truthfully.

"You have done well. Keep an eye on the news about High Rank Spirit Flame—I’m going off to sea to hunt seventh-order Monster Beasts."

Shen Long instructed.

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

Yang Shenghai and Li Yun readily agreed.

Shen Long left the Qianling Pavilion, exited the marketplace, and transformed into a green Escape Light, flying toward the southwest.

A month later, Shen Long appeared over a boundless azure sea on a clear day.

According to the intelligence gathered by Li Yun and Yang Shenghai, this sea region often experienced sightings of seventh-order Monster Beasts.

A deafening explosion sounded from the distant horizon, where a massive crimson fire cloud rose, highly conspicuous.

A green Escape Light shot out from the midst of the crimson fire cloud at high speed.

The sea surface churned and surged, raising waves and giant Water Wave Tornadoes that soared into the sky, heading straight for the green Escape Light.

The green Escape Light radiated brightly and then disappeared from its original spot.

The next moment, a gust of wind blew through a certain point in the void, revealing a stout, green-robed old man. Judging by his aura, he had reached the Integration Early Stage.

The aura of the green-robed old man was wilted, his face pale, and he had a pair of wings on his back that shimmered with green light—they appeared ethereal, not solid.

"Fellow Daoist, run! Two seventh-order Blood Shark Beasts."

The green-robed old man urgently called out.

"You all don’t leave now; stay and become the feast in our bellies!"

A chilling voice came from the sky.

Cultivators hunted Monster Beasts to earn Cultivation Resources, but Monster Beasts could also hunt Cultivators to accelerate their Cultivation. Whoever was stronger was the hunter.

As these words fell, spears of water, a hundred feet long and blue in color, emerged from the void, aiming straight at them.

At the same time, a huge vortex appeared on the sea surface, spinning rapidly and generating a powerful suction force.

The green-robed old man’s face drastically changed. The green wings on his back gently flapped, turning him into a gust of wind that vanished.

Shen Long looked up to the sky and roared, releasing a yellow sonic attack toward the incoming blue water spears. He threw a punch, unleashing a massive yellow fist that flashed downward toward the vortex below.

The dense blue water spears, upon colliding with the yellow sonic waves, disintegrated instantly like an egg against a rock. The yellow giant fist smashed onto the vortex, causing it to explode and scatter sea water everywhere.

"Dare to spoil our good deeds? You’re courting death."

An ice-cold male voice rang out.

Two enormous Blood Shark Beasts surfaced, both at the seventh-order Early Stage.

They howled to the sky, each releasing a scarlet sonic wave, targeting Shen Long. At the same time, two massive shark apparitions appeared in the sky.

Shen Long sneered, his body radiating blue light as numerous Blue Dragon Scales sprouted. He looked up to the sky and let out a deafening dragon’s roar, releasing a blue sonic wave.

True Dragon Spirit Howl, a Divine Skill included in the sixth layer of the Myriad Beasts True Scripture.

Unlike a mountainous roar, True Dragon Spirit Howl was a sonic attack.
