Chapter 862: 771 Thunder Roc advances

The Crystal Sky Mountain Range was located in the northwest of the Green Lotus Continent, stretching for billions of miles, where generations of the Crystal Clan had lived.

In the depths of the mountain range, in a quiet manor, a tall and thin elder in a golden robe and a full-figured woman in a white dress were sitting in a stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

"Shen Long cultivates the Myriad Demons True Scripture, but I wonder if he has the complete cultivation technique,"

the woman in the white dress reported.

Yun Bing, the head of the Crystal Clan Intelligence Hall.

"Send someone to investigate his background thoroughly; it would be best to capture him and see if the Qianling Sect has the complete Myriad Demons True Scripture,"

the golden-robed elder commanded.

Yun Yao, the patriarch of the Crystal Clan.

"Patriarch, is the Myriad Beasts True Scripture that important? It’s just a cultivation technique after all,"

Yun Bing asked, puzzled.

"Rumor has it that the Myriad Demons True Scripture can guide treasure hunters to find the control nexus of the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven. You tell me if it’s important or not,"

Yun Yao said in a deep voice.

Yun Bing gasped in shock and said, "Is the complete technique necessary?"

"According to rumors, only by cultivating to the tenth layer is there a chance to locate the control nexus of the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven. The last time it was opened, a treasure hunter cultivated the Myriad Demons True Scripture but only reached the eighth layer. Currently, the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven is still without a master,"

Yun Yao explained, his expression grave.

"Yes, Patriarch, I understand,"

Yun Bing readily agreed, with a solemn look on her face.

······

Time flew like an arrow, and five thousand years passed.

At the Qianling Sect, Shen Long and Mo Bingbing stood upon the summit of a lofty peak, gazing at a massive cluster of thunderclouds in the sky, their expressions serious.

Since returning from the Shen Nong Conference, Chu Buyu had been in seclusion for over two thousand years, yet she still remained in the Void Refinement Late Stage, apparently stuck at a bottleneck.

Chu Buyu traveled with other Void Refinement Cultivators for over a thousand years, successfully breaking through her bottleneck. She returned to the Qianling Sect, went into seclusion, and began to challenge the Body Integration Realm, undergoing her tribulation transference.

Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky above, and thick bolts of silver lightning struck down towards a massive valley below.

A sea of golden mist covered the entire valley, obscuring the situation within.

One after another, the silver lightning bolts entered the golden mist and vanished without a trace.

As time slowly passed, the falling silver lightning grew increasingly powerful, and the golden mist gradually began to dissipate.

After the time it takes to brew a cup of tea had passed, the thunderclouds were still several dozen feet in size, churning and surging until seven differently colored arcs of electricity appeared and turned into a seven-colored thundercloud.

"Four bolts of Seven-Colored Divine Lightning!"

Mo Bingbing’s face tightened.

He Zixiao had only attracted one Seven-Colored Divine Lightning bolt when challenging the Unity Realm, but Chu Buyu had actually drawn four.

Mo Bingbing took out a law disk that flickered with white light and cast a spell into it, her brows furrowing.

"Uncle Shen, Master Profound Mystery has come to visit, specifically asking for you,"

Mo Bingbing said.

"Please have Taoist Friend Ye come to Golden Roc Peak; I will go there now,"

Shen Long instructed.

Master Profound Mystery had come to claim the Mutated Spirit Beast, as per their agreement to deliver within seven thousand years.

"Yes, Uncle Shen,"

Mo Bingbing agreed, making a series of gestures on the law disk.

Shen Long returned to Golden Roc Peak, summoned Sun Lin, and asked him to brew a pot of fine tea.

Chu Buyu had a defense-oriented Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure and other treasures; surviving the four Seven-Colored Divine Lightning bolts would not be an issue.

Before long, Li Xin arrived with Master Profound Mystery.

"Taoist Friend Ye, it has been a long time,"

Shen Long greeted with warmth, inviting Master Profound Mystery to sit down and having Li Xin step back.

"Taoist Friend Shen, is the Mutated Spirit Beast you’re cultivating ready?"

Master Profound Mystery asked straight away.

"I have spent a substantial amount of resources, but I have finally cultivated the Spirit Beast you requested,"

Shen Long took out a red Spirit Beast Bracelet and handed it to Master Profound Mystery.

Master Profound Mystery’s face showed joy as he took the Spirit Beast Bracelet. With a gentle flick of his wrist, a beam of red light flew out, revealing a huge Red Fire Monkey.

"A Red Fire Monkey at the early stage of sixth rank!"

Master Profound Mystery frowned slightly, as the rank was somewhat low.

"Taoist Friend Ye, you haven’t given me much time. For me to have raised it to the sixth rank is already quite an achievement. To cultivate the Mutated Divine Power you desire, I’ve expended a large number of Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pills."

Shen Long said, somewhat dissatisfied.

Truthfully, to have cultivated a mutated sixth-rank Spirit Beast in five thousand years was already quite impressive.

Master Profound Mystery nodded, took out a Green Gourd and a Golden Jade Vial, and handed them to Shen Long, saying, "It was my greed, Taoist Friend Shen. This is Essence Blood of a seventh-rank Sky Tiger Beast and a ball of seventh-rank Spirit Flame as your reward. How about that?"

In terms of value, a mutated sixth-rank Spirit Beast was not worth a ball of seventh-rank Spirit Flame and the Essence Blood of a seventh-rank Sky Tiger Beast, but the effort and resources Shen Long had expended to cultivate the Red Fire Monkey were worth this price.

"Taoist Friend Ye, to increase their chances of mutation, I need to improve their Purity of Bloodline and intensify the cultivation. I’ve raised more than a thousand fourth-rank Spirit Beasts and thrown in a large amount of resources to cultivate the Spirit Beast you desired."

Shen Long said, frowning.

As rarity bred value, he naturally wanted to raise the price.

Master Profound Mystery took out a beautifully crafted Green Jade Box and handed it to Shen Long, saying, "Here are two additional seventh-rank Wood Demon Crystal Cores. Surely that’s enough now!"

"That’s enough!"

Shen Long took the Green Jade Box.

"I’m pressed for time, so I won’t stay long, Taoist Friend Shen."

Master Profound Mystery took the Red Fire Monkey and stood up to take his leave.

Shen Long personally escorted Master Profound Mystery on his way out. By the time he returned to Golden Roc Peak, Chu Buyu had also completed her Heavenly Tribulation.

Her complexion was pale, appearing to have overexerted her Mana, but her energy was vast as the sea.

Chu Buyu successfully transcended the Seventy-Nine Heavenly Tribulations and ascended to the Body Integration Realm.

"Congratulations, my wife!"

Shen Long offered his praises.

"Had my husband not given me that top-grade defensive Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure and the seventh-rank Talisman, I wouldn’t have traversed the Seventy-Nine Heavenly Tribulations so easily."

Chu Buyu smiled brightly.

"You’ve just entered the Body Integration Realm, now take some time to cultivate in seclusion and solidify your realm."

Shen Long suggested.

Chu Buyu nodded her head and entered a Practice Room to cultivate.

Sensing something, Shen Long quickly stepped into a Practice Room, entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, and arrived on the fourth floor.

Standing in the sky, he saw a massive cluster of thunderclouds, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring.

Shen Peng was undergoing tribulation, striking for the Body Integration Realm.

Shen Peng had consumed ten Thunder Attribute seventh-rank Demon Cores beforehand, as well as tens of thousands of Thunder Attribute Spiritual Medicines, enabling him to challenge the seventh rank.

Shen Peng returned to his true form, morphed into his Thunder Roc appearance.

Thick silver lightning bolts struck down, landing on the Thunder Roc’s body, and the silver lightning completely vanished.

As the area of the thunderclouds shrank, becoming only a hundred yards across, seven distinct arcs of color emerged.

"Seven Seven-Colored Divine Lightnings!"

Shen Long let out a sigh of relief; he had given Shen Peng a Seven Stars Purple Thunder Fruit, so passing the Heavenly Tribulation wouldn’t be an issue.

A thunderous boom resounded as a thick bolt of seven-colored lightning struck down, precisely hitting the Thunder Roc.

A massive burst of seven-colored lightning soared into the sky, engulfing the Thunder Roc’s form.

Following that, a second seven-colored lightning bolt came crashing down, then a third, a fourth, and so on...

After the sixth seven-colored lightning bolt struck, a thousand-li radius was filled with smoke and dust, the brilliance of lightning dazzling.

After the seven-colored thunderclouds churned tumultuously, they morphed into a colossal Seven-Colored Thunder Flood Dragon, diving down from the heavens.

A clear cry of a bird echoed, as a thick column of golden lightning shot upward, like a Golden Lightning Spear piercing through the body of the Seven-Colored Thunder Flood Dragon.

With a thunderous rumble, the body of the Seven-Colored Thunder Flood Dragon exploded, and an enormous orb of seven-colored lightning appeared high in the sky, amidst the swirling dust.

Before the lightning dissipated, Shen Long’s aura significantly intensified.

Shen Long felt his Mana replenished considerably; this was the feedback from Shen Peng’s ascension to the seventh rank.

A golden light appeared in front of him, revealing Shen Peng in an instant.
