Chapter 876: 785 Fame and Success (No More Today)

"Fairy Han sought information about seventh-stage poisonous spiders from many cultivators," Shen Long deduced. "Most likely, she needs it for her poison skills cultivation. Her prowess in poison skills is indeed formidable; she has eliminated a Unity Cultivator in the middle stage from the Yaksha Tribe."

Chu Buyu remarked.

"A seventh-stage demon insect is rare to begin with, and a seventh-stage poisonous spider is even more scarce. It’s possible that the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb has one!"

Shen Long guessed.

After chatting idly for a while, Shen Long walked into a practice room, entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, and came upon a vast Green Stone Plaza.

Shen Mei was teaching a class to the Red Fire Monkeys and Golden Flame Lions. They took turns teaching them, as she was also a core member.

"Master, why have you come? If you have any instructions, just say the word; there’s no need for you to come in person."

Shen Mei said respectfully.

"Here are two seventh-stage Silver Moon Fox demon cores, along with some Sky Illusion Fruits. Take them and consume them! I hope you ascend to the Body Integration Realm soon."

Shen Long pulled out a Green Storage Bracelet and handed it over to Shen Mei.

"Thank you, Master."

Shen Mei exclaimed with joy, thanked him, and took the storage bracelet with both hands.

After giving her a few words of advice, Shen Long left the Myriad Beasts Tower.

He made his way to an alchemy room, where with a flick of his sleeve, the Qianyang Cauldron flew out and landed on the ground.

During his fight with Bai Hao, the Qinglian True Flame had devoured Bai Hao’s seventh-stage Spirit Flame, significantly increasing its power, which would undoubtedly lead to greater pill refining efficiency.

The treasure vault in Bloodvine City contained a vast array of rare Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Fruits. Wang Tianyang had first choice, followed by Qin Wei and Shen Long picking selections. They selected many rare Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Fruits, including the Dragon Elephant Fruit.

Shen Long planned to refine some Dragon Elephant Pills to enhance his strength as much as possible. He didn’t know how long this war would last. The stronger his power, the higher his chances of survival.

Opening his mouth, the Qinglian True Flame flew out and landed at the bottom of the Qianyang Cauldron.

He took out a golden fruit that looked similar to an elephant’s trunk, with silver patterns on its surface resembling a miniature Flood Dragon—this was the Dragon Elephant Fruit.

One by one, he threw the Dragon Elephant Fruit and other ingredients into the cauldron and covered it with the lid.

Under high temperatures, the Dragon Elephant Fruit and other ingredients gradually melted into liquid, converging together, and a strange fragrance wafted out from the cauldron, filling the entire alchemy room.

Shen Long focused intently on the Qianyang Cauldron, closely monitoring the situation inside.

In the northwestern part of the Green Lotus Continent, amidst a vast mountain range of undulating red peaks, one could see many Fire Fusion Tribe cultivators patrolling.

Deep within the mountain range lay an expansive city with walls that stretched beyond sight, and the plaque above the gate was boldly inscribed with the characters "Skyfire City." A vast number of cultivators moved about within the city, most of them belonging to the Fire Fusion Tribe.

Skyfire City was one of the five great cities of the Fire Fusion Tribe on the border, situated close to the Crystal Clan’s territory.

In the Skyfire Palace, a voluptuous woman in a white dress sat in the main seat, her gaze serious.

More than twenty Unity Cultivators sat on either side, with Damir among them.

"What! Madam Yan Yue, the Human Clan has achieved such great war exploits? They’ve captured Bloodvine City?"

A tall, thin elder in yellow robes voiced his astonishment.

He had six arms and yellow spiritual patterns on his skin.

The Multi-Hand Tribe, Zha Xiao.

The Multi-Hand Tribe was one of the subordinate ethnic groups of the Fire Fusion Tribe, who were called upon to join the war against the Crystal Clan.

"Yes! Led by Taoist Friend Wang Tianyang himself, he has killed two Unity Cultivators in the late stage. Qianling Sect’s Qin Wei, Shen Long, and Chu Buyu joined forces to kill nine Unity Cultivators in the middle stage, seizing Bloodvine City in one fell swoop. We too must make some accomplishments."

The woman in the white dress spoke slowly.

Yan Yue, a Unity Cultivator in the late stage, was stationed in Skyfire City all the year round.

"Qin Wei, Shen Long, and Chu Buyu are that powerful? They killed nine Unity Cultivators in the middle stage?"

Damir voiced his surprise.

He had ascended to the Unity Realm. The Barbarian Tribe had dispatched three Unity Cultivators to lead their forces into the war, and Damir was one of them.

"Qin Wei has a seventh-order Red Fire Flood Dragon, Shen Long and Chu Buyu both have seventh-order Spirit Flames, and Taoist Friend Shen also has Transformation-capable Spiritual Beasts and Insects. Their divine skills demolished the Bloodvine Clan, which also indirectly shows the Human Clan’s stance. The Human Clan is planning a major move this time; we must lend a hand in the strife and not let the Crystal Clan have it too easy. As one falls, another rises."

Yan Yue stated solemnly.

"Lady Yan, please, tell us your plan!"

Zha Xiao said.

"I also plan to take the offensive against the Crystal Clan. There’s no need to capture Crystal Sky City; just killing a few Unity Cultivators will suffice. Our ancient ancestors are also paying close attention to this battle."

Yan Yue spoke.

When the Mahayana Cultivator of the Fire Fusion Clan personally issued the order, it couldn’t be just a minor skirmish; they had to show some substantial achievements.

"Lady Yan, we’ll listen to you. Whatever you say to do, we’ll do."

Zha Xiao declared with a grave voice.

Damir and the other Unity Cultivators had no objections. With the Mahayana Cultivator of the Fire Fusion Clan paying attention to this battle, they naturally dared not handle it perfunctorily.

Yan Yue was very pleased with everyone’s attitude and nodded, "Good, I will assign the tasks."

Half an hour later, Damir and the others exited the Skyfire Palace one after another, returning to their residences to deploy troops and give orders.

...

Crystal Sky City was a large city controlled by the Crystal Clan. Situated millions of miles from the Fire Fusion Clan’s Skyfire City, it was constantly guarded by over a dozen Unity Cultivators.

Inside the city, one could see a large number of Crystal Clan Cultivators. The streets were bustling with people, resembling a flowing river of horses and carriages.

In the Crystal Sky Palace, a slender woman in a purple dress sat in the chief seat with a gloomy gaze. Over twenty Unity Cultivators sat on either side, each with a different expression.

"Lady Luo, why don’t you update them on the latest battle conditions?"

The woman in the purple dress instructed.

Yun Xia, a Late Stage Unity Cultivator, had been stationed in Crystal Sky City year-round.

A tall, thin man in golden clothes responded, stood up, and said, "The latest news is that Bloodvine City has been seized by the Human Clan. The leader of the attack was Wang Tianyang. He slew two Late Stage Unity Cultivators. Qianling Sect’s Qin Wei, Shen Long, and Chu Buyu teamed up to kill nine Mid-Stage Unity Cultivators."

Upon hearing this, all the Unity Cultivators present were visibly shocked.

"Bloodvine City was heavily guarded and protected by a seventh-order Formation—how could it fall so easily to the Human Clan?"

A fat, golden-robed elder expressed disbelief.

Wu Shuo, hailing from the Flying Feather Tribe.

The Flying Feather Tribe was one of the affiliated tribes of the Crystal Clan. When the Crystal Clan clashed with the Fire Fusion Clan and called for reinforcements, the Flying Feather Tribe had sent two Unity Cultivators to lead troops into battle.

"Xiao Yan was too complacent, getting trapped by Wang Tianyang in a Cave Heaven Treasure, separated and annihilated. Wang Tianyang’s Nine Suns Divine Light reduced Luo to ashes."

Yun Xia explained.

Upon hearing this, the complexions of the Cultivators turned sour.

The Crystal Clan and the Bloodvine Clan were allies; such heavy losses for the Bloodvine Clan were bad news for the Crystal Clan.

If the Bloodvine Clan couldn’t withstand the Human Clan, they would definitely seek help from the Crystal Clan.

"Madam Yun, what should we do?"

Wu Shuo asked.

"The Human Clan isn’t just stirring up minor troubles this time. They’ve sent their successors to the front line, leading the charge. This already speaks volumes. Don’t underestimate this battle. Considering the gains of the Human Clan, the Fire Fusion Clan surely won’t just stand by and watch. We must be on guard and avoid giving the Fire Fusion Clan an opportunity to exploit,"

Yun Xia said slowly.

Hearing this, Wu Shuo and the others let out a sigh of relief; they had thought Yun Xia was going to suggest a direct attack.

"Rest assured, we won’t take any rash actions before we understand the strategic intentions of the Human Clan and the Fire Fusion Clan. You can be at ease. If the Fire Fusion Clan attacks, just repel them, and don’t pursue further. The incident with Xiao Yan and others is a cautionary tale,"

Yun Xia admonished.

With the Bloodvine Clan losing over twenty Unity Cultivators, the Crystal Clan had to be cautious and vigilant in dealing with the Fire Fusion Clan.

Wu Shuo and the others agreed in unison. After chatting for half an hour, they left one by one, returning to their respective residences.
