Chapter 870: 779 Take the Initiative to Attack

Tianxuan City, Qianling Garden.

Golden Roc Courtyard, Shen Long and Chu Buyu sat in a green stone pavilion, with Su Changfeng and Yuan Rui standing by their side.

"You should also take action in the first battle, don’t be careless; it’s better for you to join forces against the enemy."

Shen Long advised.

Yuan Rui’s life-bound spirit bird, the Gold-Winged Thunder Hawk, had grown to the middle stage of the sixth rank, and Su Changfeng’s life-bound spirit insect, the Purple Crystal Sky Scorpion, was also at the sixth rank middle stage. They had traveled together and fought side by side many times, coordinating smoothly.

Su Changfeng and Yuan Rui promised to do so, their expressions solemn.

Last time, in the great war between races, they were only at the Divinity Transformation Stage and did not participate in the great battle. This was their first time confronting heterodox cultivators.

"These are two seventh-rank talismans, comparable to the strike of a Body Integration Early Stage cultivator; take them! I hope you won’t need them."

Shen Long took out two talismans that sparkled with spiritual light and handed them to Su Changfeng and Yuan Rui.

He had traded for these at the Shennong Conference; they were somewhat surplus against Unity Cultivators, but there was no issue using them against Void Refinement Cultivators.

Yuan Rui and Su Changfeng thanked him and received the talismans, tucking them away.

Li Xin walked in and reported: "Uncle Shen, a Taoist Friend named Yao Fugui has come to visit, saying he has some business with you."

"Bring him in!"

Shen Long ordered.

Li Xin acknowledged with a sound and turned to leave.

"Both of you may leave now."

Chu Buyu dismissed Su Changfeng and Yuan Rui.

After a while, Yao Fugui followed Li Xin into the pavilion.

"Junior greets Senior Shen, Senior Chu."

Yao Fugui bowed respectfully, his manner reverent.

"Taoist Friend Yao, long time no see. Just say what brings you here!"

Shen Long spoke with a smile, gesturing for Li Xin to leave.

"Senior Shen, I’ve obtained a piece of Tianhuan Crystal."

As Yao Fugui spoke, he took out a fist-sized golden crystal stone.

The Tianhuan Crystal was an excellent material for refining Cave Heaven Treasures; Chu Buyu could use it as the main material to refine a top-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure with its own space.

"Tianhuan Crystal!"

Shen Long was somewhat surprised and took the golden crystal stone, passing it to Chu Buyu.

"This is indeed the Tianhuan Crystal. Using this piece to refine a top-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, the space it contains will be quite sizable."

Chu Buyu praised.

"Taoist Friend Yao, name your price."

Shen Long asked.

"I would like a sixth-rank mutated spirit beast, preferably with a strong mutated divine power."

Yao Fugui stated.

"One piece of Tianhuan Crystal is not enough!"

Shen Long said meaningfully.

Yao Fugui took out a green porcelain vial, a fine golden jade box, and a fine green jade box, adding, "How about adding a vial of seventh-rank Sky Tiger Beast essence blood, a bundle of seventh-rank Seven Stars Jade Silkworm silk, and a Heavenly Dragon Fruit?"

In terms of value, these items were far beyond a sixth-rank spirit beast, but it wasn’t certain they could cultivate a mutated spirit beast with powerful divine skills.

"You’re quite capable, getting your hands on so many fine items."

Shen Long praised.

The four items Yao Fugui had brought out were all precious, especially the seventh-rank Sky Tiger Beast’s essence blood. Shen Long was sure that Yao Fugui had backing.

Chu Buyu took out the Heart Inquiry Disc, saying, "Taoist Friend Yao, I will ask you a few questions using the Heart Inquiry Disc."

"Senior Chu, please ask away. As long as it’s something I know, I will not withhold any information."

Yao Fugui spoke earnestly.

Chu Buyu infused a spell into the Heart Inquiry Disc, which emitted a silver rosy glow, enveloping Yao Fugui.

She began to ask, "Taoist Friend Yao, you’re not working for a different clan, are you?"

"No! I have sold items to different clans, but only to those friendly with the Human Clan. I would not sell to heterodox cultivators who are hostile towards our Human Clan."

Yao Fugui spoke slowly.

The Heart Inquiry Disc showed no anomalies; Yao Fugui did not seem to be lying.

"I’ll be right back."

Shen Long gave a brief greeting and rose to leave.

Before long, Shen Long returned and pulled out a green Spirit Beast Bracelet, handing it to Yao Fugui, saying, "This is a sixth-order Golden Flame Lion, its Purity of Bloodline has reached five, and its eyes have mutated to see through sixth-order Formations."

There were many Mutated Spirit Beasts in the Myriad Beasts Tower, and the ones Shen Long took out for sale were not the best.

"Can see through sixth-order Formations! Thank you, Senior Shen."

Yao Fugui was thrilled, well aware of the value of the Golden Flame Lion.

"Next time I get my hands on something good, I’ll consider you guys first; you won’t be at a loss."

Shen Long said.

"Yes, Senior Shen."

Yao Fugui readily agreed, accepted the Spirit Beast Bracelet, and withdrew.

"Why did you sell such a powerful Spirit Beast to him?"

Chu Buyu was somewhat surprised.

"I didn’t sell it to him, but to the power behind him. He’s definitely not a Loose Cultivator; he must have a force supporting him. Selling him a Mutated sixth-order Golden Flame Lion this time, next time he wants a Mutated Spirit Beast, he’ll have to bring out even better treasures."

Shen Long explained.

After some idle chat, he entered a Practice Room and stepped into the Myriad Beasts Tower, appearing on the fourth floor.

Above him, a cloud of thunder floated, flashing and rumbling.

Shen Long had exchanged for a large number of seventh-order Demon Cores at the Shen Nong Gathering; Shen Jiu, Shen Lie, and Shen Xiao had consecutively advanced to the Body Integration Realm, and Shen Ao was currently assaulting the Body Integration Realm.

Countless blue vapors surged, and Shen Lie appeared with a smiling face.

After advancing to the seventh order, his Purity of Bloodline had improved to eight.

"How many Heavenly Tribulations are left?"

Shen Long asked.

"Three more!"

Shen Lie answered truthfully.

The thunderclouds rolled and surged, bringing forth arcs of electricity in seven different colors that combined into a Seven-Colored Divine Cloud.

"Three Seven-Colored Divine Lightnings! He should have no problem passing the Heavenly Tribulation."

Shen Long was relieved and exited the Myriad Beasts Tower.

He sat cross-legged on a green meditation mat, meditating to regulate his breath.

Three days passed quickly, and early one morning, at the break of dawn—

Qin Wei, Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and others arrived on top of the city wall, along with Wang Tianxin, Chu Feng, and others.

"Follow me into battle, let’s show the Bloodvine Clan Cultivators a thing or two."

Wang Tianyang commanded with a stern voice, his sleeve flicking out a ray of golden light that transformed into a thousand-zhang-long Golden Flying Boat.

He went on board, and dozens of thousands of Cultivators, including Shen Long, followed suit.

Wang Tianyang formed a spell, and the Golden Flying Boat soared into the sky.

As the Golden Flying Boat approached within five hundred thousand miles of Bloodvine City, alarm bells sounded within the city, and a large number of Heterodox Cultivators assembled on the city walls.

"Wang Tianyang!"

Xiao Yan furrowed his brows. He had heard of Wang Tianyang but had never crossed hands with him.

He had not expected the Human Clan to attack so soon.

"Let’s leave the city to meet the enemy!"

Xiao Yan ordered, leading tens of thousands of Cultivators flying out of Bloodvine City.

"You humans are bold to initiate conflict."

Xiao Yan said with an icy face.

"What a joke, only you can attack us, and we can’t initiate an attack? I’ve long heard that Taoist Friend Xiao is a through-and-through diviner, and I also want to see what Divine Skills Taoist Friend Xiao possesses."

Wang Tianyang retorted with a cold laugh.

"Likewise, I hope Taoist Friend Wang won’t die at the hands of this old man."

Xiao Yan sneered in response.

"Attack!"

Wang Tianyang ordered.

Tens of thousands of Cultivators spread out, attacking the Heterodox Cultivators.

At Xiao Yan’s command, tens of thousands of Heterodox Cultivators rushed forward to meet them, with more than twenty Unity Cultivators standing high in the sky.
