Chapter 853: 762 Scraping Resources

The Four Seas Sect was responsible for defending against the Haixi Clan, the Gold Cordyceps Clan, and other Different Clans, while the Shennong Pavilion was responsible for supporting the Four Seas Sect. Therefore, the Shennong Pavilion needed to keep real-time control over the situation of the foreign clans overseas.

"I didn’t expect Taoist Friend Shen to be so strong. Which Seventh-Order Spirit Beast did he use against the enemy?"

Master Profound Mystery asked curiously.

In the last great clan war, Shen Long had made a name for himself by killing many Void Refinement Cultivators with the Spirit Beast Battle Array.

Master Profound Mystery believed that Shen Long must have relied on Spirit Beasts to achieve such great battle achievements this time.

"Taoist Friend Shen cultivates the ’Myriad Demons True Scripture.’ He relied on his own Divine Skills and did not release a Seventh-Order Spirit Beast to fight the enemy."

Qinghua True Monarch said with a look of admiration.

In the Cultivation Realm, strength was respected. Shen Long had proved his strength by killing three Unity Cultivators and severely injuring Ba Yu on his own.

"He’s cultivating the ’Myriad Demons True Scripture’? How did they end up fighting? They wouldn’t have had a big fight for no reason!"

Master Profound Mystery said, puzzled.

"They are disputing over the Zouhua Cave of the Five-Colored Fairy. The Five-Colored Fairy had entered the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven, and even Madam Lin, the Great Elder of the Four Seas Sect, was alarmed. Xiao Yan from the Bloodvine Clan also came over, and the two sides are now in a standoff."

Qinghua True Monarch explained.

"Master Profound Mystery, are you going to support Madam Lin?"

Master Profound Mystery asked.

"Madam Lin can handle it; she hasn’t asked for help from our Shennong Pavilion, so we don’t need to make a move."

Qinghua True Monarch explained.

Lin Luyao and Xiao Yan were disputing over the Zouhua Cave of the Five-Colored Fairy; they could resolve it. It was not the outbreak of a great clan war, so there was no need for the Shennong Pavilion to send Unity Cultivators to support.

Master Profound Mystery nodded and said, "Taoist Friend Shen will also attend the Shennon Conference, right?"

"He probably will! I’ve sent my disciples to the Qianling Sect with invitations; I would also like to meet Taoist Friend Shen."

Qinghua True Monarch said in a deep voice.

The news of Shen Long killing three Unity Cultivators spread quickly, and he became famous overnight.

······

On Five-Colored Island, a huge burst of golden light shot up into the sky, faintly mixed with the sound of dragon roars.

A peak with steep terrain rose into view, with a wide-open area at the foot of the mountain; the open ground was pockmarked, and four corpses lay scattered.

Shen Lang stood next to one of the corpses, holding a Nascent Soul in his left hand, with Shen Die and the Spirit-Seeking Mouse by his side.

"A standoff, huh? This is good; it means we can transfer them out."

Shen Lang murmured to himself.

Four Heterodox Cultivators had discovered the control hub but had been killed by Shen Lang before they could break the restriction. After searching the soul of one of the Heterodox Cultivators’ Nascent Souls, Shen Lang knew that Unity Cultivators were confronting each other outside, and Shen Long was there too.

He fed the Nascent Soul to the Shen Die and looted the treasures from the corpses, letting Shen Die and the Spirit-Seeking Mouse consume the bodies.

Shen Lang returned to the Five-Colored Garden, came to the Array in front of him, took out a Five-Colored Token, and input several spells.

The Array violently shook, and a dazzling Spiritual Light appeared.

Outside Five-Colored Island, Lin Luyao, Shen Long, Jinhao True Monarch, and eight other Unity Cultivators stood aloft in the sky, their expressions indifferent.

Xiao Yan, Teng Xiong, and nine other Unity Cultivators stood in the distant sky, their expressions varied.

Human Unity Cultivators and Different Clan Unity Cultivators hurried to the area and faced off against each other.

The void lit up with rays of Spiritual Light, and cultivators like Lin Tao and Xu Yingying appeared, looking utterly bewildered.

"What’s going on? Master Nephew Lin, Master Nephew Xu, how did you get out here?"

Lin Luyao said with a frown; could it be that the Heterodox Cultivators had taken control of Five-Colored Island?

"I was teleported out."

Lin Tao explained.

"It was the same for me."

Xu Yingying said.

Lin Luyao’s eyebrows knitted tightly; it seemed someone had found the control hub of Five-Colored Island.

Xiao Yan saw some of the Bloodvine Clan Cultivators and frowned slightly, his lips moving.

Shen Long did not see Shen Lang, and his eyebrows furrowed.

He held in his hand Shen Lang’s Life Soul Plaque, and there were no anomalies with the plaque. If Shen Lang was to be transmitted out, unless it was beyond tens of billions of miles, he would be able to sense his location.

After half an hour had passed, more Void Refinement Cultivators arrived at this place, from both the Human Clan and Different Clan, all of whom had been transmitted out, yet Shen Lang was not among them.

"It seems someone has found the control hub of Five-Colored Island. I wonder who it could be," said Jinhao True Monarch with a grave voice.

"Madam Lin, our people have taken control of Five-Colored Island. The island is now ours; you should all leave this place!" Xiao Yan spoke with full confidence.

He had no idea who really controlled Five-Colored Island, merely pretending it was under their control. As long as Lin Luyao and the others left, even if the Human Cultivators gained control of the island, it would eventually fall into their hands.

Lin Luyao’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. She had asked the Treasure Hunters who entered Five-Colored Island, and none of them had found the control hub.

"That may not necessarily be the case; Taoist Friend Xiao isn’t even blushing as he lies," Shen Long said mockingly.

So many Treasure Hunters had been transmitted out, yet only Shen Lang had not. There were two possibilities.

The first was that Shen Lang had found the control hub of Five-Colored Island; the second was that Shen Lang had been captured by Heterodox Cultivators. But then, why would Heterodox Cultivators capture Shen Lang alive? Why not just kill him?

Shen Lang, accompanied by a Spirit Beast Squad, also possessed a Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure; even if he could not overcome his adversaries, it would not have been a problem for him to escape unscathed. It was improbable that he had been captured alive.

Therefore, Shen Long felt that Shen Lang had found the control hub of Five-Colored Island.

"Hmph, do you have evidence to prove that Five-Colored Island is under the control of your Human Cultivators?" Xiao Yan sneered.

"Do you have evidence?" countered Shen Long derisively.

"We should keep waiting and see who ends up controlling Five-Colored Island!" Lin Luyao declared solemnly.

Three days passed without any Cultivator emerging from Five-Colored Island.

Frowning, Teng Xiong said, "Just waiting here aimlessly is not a solution. We should break open the entrance and send people in to check."

Several Unity Cultivators attacked the golden light gate together, employing a Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure to no avail against it.

"Let’s attack the entrance together..." Xiao Yan hadn’t finished speaking when the golden light gate opened automatically, with a surge of pure Spiritual Energy gushing forth.

"Why did the entrance open automatically?" Teng Xiong wondered aloud.

A hint of elation flickered in Shen Long’s eyes; he had made an arrangement with Shen Lang that if the control hub was seized, and someone attacked the entrance, the entrance should be opened and then closed after a while.

A short while later, the entrance closed again.

"The entrance closed again?" Jinhao True Monarch was utterly bewildered.

"Five-Colored Island is already under the control of our Human Cultivators!" Shen Long declared.

"Humph, you say so and it is so? Perhaps the Formation activated automatically to transmit the Treasure Hunters out," Xiao Yan challenged.

"The entrance will open again later. At that time, send in the Void Refinement Cultivators, and we will see," Shen Long said confidently.

"We’ve waited this long already; a little longer won’t make a difference. Let’s wait and see," Lin Luyao suggested.

After half an hour, the entrance opened again, and people like Jin Tao entered one after another.

"Madam Lin, my avatar has taken control of Five-Colored Island! Don’t believe what Xiao Yan and his group say," Shen Long conveyed to Lin Luyao through a secret transmission.

During these three days, Shen Lang must have been collecting the island’s resources.

Hearing this, a joyful expression spread across Lin Luyao’s face.
