Chapter 860: 769 Elite Gathering

"Taoist Friend Li’s divine skills are outstanding, merely wounding you, it seems the ’Myriad Demons True Scripture’ is even more formidable than I imagined."

Qin Wei said in praise, her face full of envy.

She too wanted to convert to the ’Myriad Demons True Scripture,’ but the cultivation conditions of this technique were rigorous, so she eventually gave up.

She took out a Law Disk that flickered with Spiritual Light and injected a spell into it, then spoke, "Junior Brother Shen, Taoist Friend Ni would like to speak with you."

"I’ll rest properly for some time, and in a few days, I will personally visit."

Shen Long said.

He was well aware that the other Unity Cultivators sought him mainly for resource exchange, and exchanging with a group of Unity Cultivators would enable him to obtain better things.

Qin Wei nodded, injected a spell, and made a series of gestures.

After a bit of small talk, Qin Wei left, and Shen Long returned to the Practice Room to sit in meditation and recuperate.

...

In a certain three-story Green Pavilion with the words "Golden Ape Pavilion" written on the signboard, the door was firmly shut.

Within a secret room, Wu Yuan and Su Yuxue were discussing something.

"Shen Long has already ascended to the Body Integration Realm, it seems he wasn’t truthful in the past, he has a major cultivation technique to reach higher levels, the question is whether he possesses the complete technique."

Wu Yuan frowned as he spoke.

"It’s hard to say, without his admission, we can’t do anything to him, and although you’ve ascended to the Unity Realm, you haven’t yet succeeded in cultivating the seventh layer of the ’Myriad Demons True Scripture,’ he is not someone you can take on."

Su Yuxue analyzed.

Wu Yuan nodded and said, "Let’s first get closer to him! Then plot the rest."

...

Five days quickly passed by, at Shennong Garden.

Qinghua True Monarch, Immortal Jinmei, Shen Long, Ni Tianting, Wang Yunqing, Master Profound Mystery, Master Fengling, Li Miao, and over twenty Unity Cultivators were sitting in a Green Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

Qinghua True Monarch initiated a gathering and invited Unity Cultivators like Shen Long, Ni Tianting, and others.

"The new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves ahead, having secluded myself for more than ten thousand years, I just came out to hear about the deeds of Taoist Friend Shen, greatly boosting the morale of our Human Clan."

A plump lady in a green dress praised.

Lin Qinghong, born in the Divine Weapon Sect, an Eighth Rank Alchemist.

"Madam Lin flatters me unduly, it was merely three Unity Early Stage Cultivators."

Shen Long humbly said.

"You are too modest, Taoist Friend Shen, action speaks louder than words, it’s only a pity I wasn’t there, else Xiao Yan wouldn’t have had the chance to escape unscathed."

A burly youth in silver clothes spoke out, his voice booming.

Big Dipper True Monarch, the Great Elder of the Big Dipper Pavilion.

"Had Zhong Taoist been there, Xiao Yan would have fled long ago, who doesn’t know of Zhong Taoist’s possession of the Big Dipper Spiritual Body, combined with the unique divine skills of the ’Big Dipper Heavenly Firmament Manual,’ his strength is extraordinary."

A slender lady in a purple dress commended.

Fairy Zimei, born in Mount Taibai Sword Sect.

"Xiao Yan might have had a chance to escape if he encountered me, but if he were trapped by Fairy Jiang’s Sword Formation, he definitely couldn’t have run away."

Big Dipper True Monarch spoke and at the end, his face showed a look of admiration.

"There’s no need to be so formal as we are not strangers, best to take out resources for exchange sooner rather than later! This old man has come from afar just to exchange resources."

A somewhat scruffy golden-robed old man urged.

Treasure-Seeking Taoist, one of the top ten Loose Cultivators of the Green Lotus Continent.

"Taoist Friend Su, why the rush, some of our friends haven’t arrived yet."

Wang Yunqing said.

"There’s no need to rush, Taoist Friend Su, the Taoists present are from all over, it will take some time to get to know each other, a slight delay in the resource exchange won’t affect much."

Qinghua True Monarch spoke in a gentle tone.

"Taoist Friend Yu, didn’t you say that people from the He Family of the Shadow Continent are also attending the gathering?"

Lin Qinghong curiously asked.

"They agreed to the meeting, so they should be on their way!"

Qinghua True Monarch speculated.

"After many years, I didn’t expect Madam Lin to still be in the middle stage of Unity."

A loud male voice suddenly rang out.

As soon as his voice fell, a tall man in a golden robe and a graceful girl in a silver skirt entered the room; both were at the middle stage of Unity.

"I am He Chenyang, and this is my younger sister, He Chenyue. Greetings to all Taoist Friends."

The man in the golden robe said with a cupped fist, his voice booming.

"Taoist Friend He, Fairy He, please take a seat."

Qinghua True Monarch invited them to sit, picked up the teapot, and poured each of them a cup of Spiritual Tea.

Shen Long, Qin Wei, and others reported their names in turn. He Chenyang’s gaze fell on Shen Long and he said with a smile, "I have long heard about Taoist Friend Shen’s deeds, and if we get the chance, we should have a friendly sparring match."

"Sure! We can have a match when there’s time."

Shen Long responded vaguely.

The crowd started to chat casually, discussing insights into cultivation and the secrets of the Cultivation Realm.

"Judging by the time, it won’t be long before the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven opens. I wonder how many Taoist Friends will enter the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven to search for treasures this time,"

Qinghua True Monarch said with curiosity.

"It depends on how many Taoist Friends have received the Ten Thousand Spirits Command. Entering the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven isn’t very difficult. The hard part is finding good items. Encountering an Eighth Rank Monster Beast would mean immediate death."

Wang Yunqing’s complexion was solemn.

"Yes! Anyone entering the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven is after treasures. While strength is important, luck is crucial too. The past elder of the He Family is an example."

Lin Qinghong ended with a glance at He Chenyang.

A Mahayana Cultivator from the He Family had once sought treasures in the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven and encountered an Eighth Rank Flood Dragon. Many treasure hunters had witnessed the death of the He Family’s Mahayana Cultivator at the hands of the Flood Dragon.

"Indeed! Luck really is important."

He Chenyang deeply agreed.

The Mahayana Cultivator of the He Family had hoped to obtain a great treasure from the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven, but instead, he met his end at the hands of an Eighth Rank Flood Dragon.

"Taoist Friend Shen was dealing with some matters in the Qinglian Archipelago when he coincidentally encountered the emergence of the Five-Colored Fairy’s Zouhua Cave. Such luck is also quite good! I heard that the Five-Colored Fairy had entered the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven. Taoist Friend Shen must have obtained quite a few good items, right? Care to show us and give us a glimpse of them?"

The Treasure-Seeking Taoist asked, his face full of anticipation.

Other Unity Cultivators turned their gaze towards Shen Long, who smiled faintly and said, "No need to rush, Taoist Friend Yu, you go first."

Qinghua True Monarch nodded, flicked his sleeve, and a sweep of greenish light crossed the table, leaving a large assortment of items, primarily Elixirs.

"Exchanging for materials of equivalent value."

Qinghua True Monarch announced.

Several Unity Cultivators communicated privately with Qinghua True Monarch and presented their items for his inspection. Shen Long quietly sipped his tea; he and Qinghua True Monarch had already made an exchange.

Shen Long had many rare materials on him, with the Xuantian Object and the Divine Milk of Nature being the most precious. Not many things could pique his interest anymore.

The cultivators took turns presenting their items for exchange. Shen Long obtained a batch of Seventh Rank Demon Cores with various attributes in exchange for more than a dozen vials of Top Grade Elixirs.

After half an hour, Shen Long stood up, flicked his sleeve, and the tabletop was covered with a heap of items.

"Primordial Soul Fruit! Water Apricot Primordial Fruit! Mysterious Purple Jade Fruit!"

The Treasure-Seeking Taoist’s gaze lingered on the three types of Spirit Fruit.

"Taoist Friend Shen, what is in that green porcelain vial?"

Ni Tianting asked, pointing to a green porcelain vial.
