Chapter 896: 8.05 million years

"With these territories and resources, our Qianling Sect will usher in a soaring rise."

Mo Bingbing said excitedly.

"This time, Senior Sister Qin, Junior Brother Shen, and Junior Sister Chu have put in a lot of effort. I will lead a team to the frontline and hold down the new territory while you cultivate in peace at Qianling Sect. Make a list of any resources you need, and I will have someone find them."

Qin Han volunteered.

The receipt of territories and mining veins by the Qianling Sect necessitated dealings with many forces. A Unity Cultivator’s presence was required, and since Qin Wei, Shen Long, and Chu Buyu had already exerted much effort, it was Qin Han’s turn to contribute.

"Then we’ll have to trouble Senior Brother Qin. Here are the resources we need to collect."

Shen Long took out a red jade slip and handed it to Qin Han.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Qin Han’s eyes flashed with surprise, and he nodded, "The resources that Junior Brother Shen and Junior Sister Chu are gathering are extraordinary. I will arrange for someone to find them. You two should rest up; leave the rest to me to handle."

After some idle chat, Shen Long and Chu Buyu took their leave and returned to Golden Roc Peak.

Shen Long called for Sun Lin and handed him a green storage bracelet, instructing, "Master Nephew Sun, these resources are for you. You have worked hard over these years."

"Thank you, Uncle Shen. Being able to serve Uncle Shen is my good fortune as a disciple."

Sun Lin said humbly, receiving the storage bracelet with both hands.

"We plan to enter secluded cultivation for some time, so the affairs of Golden Roc Peak will be in your charge."

Shen Long instructed.

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

Sun Lin readily agreed.

After giving a few more instructions, Shen Long entered a practice room. He stepped into the Myriad Beasts Tower, arriving at the third layer, where he saw a towering tree reaching thousands of feet high.

The crown of the towering tree was immensely huge, capable of obscuring the sun and covering the sky.

With a flash of green light, the towering tree transformed into a tall and slender youth dressed in green, Shen Sen, whose true form was a Tree Person at the Unity Realm.

After advancing to Unity, Tree Persons also took human form. In the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, it wasn’t uncommon for Unity Realm tree demons and flower demons to transform into humanoids.

"Master!"

Shen Sen greeted him.

"Now that you’ve taken human form, you don’t need to show yourself as a Tree Person within the Myriad Beasts Tower."

Shen Long said.

"I am used to it."

Shen Sen smiled simply.

"Train the Flower Demons well; they will be under your care from now on."

After the Tree Person became humanoid, Shen Long entrusted the Flower Demons to them as subordinates.

"Yes, Master."

Shen Sen agreed.

Shen Long then went to the fourth layer and after instructing Shen Peng, Shen Jiu, and others, he left the Myriad Beasts Tower.

He sat cross-legged on a green meditation mat and closed his eyes to replenish his spirit.

Half an hour later, Shen Long opened his eyes and took out a White Tiger Pill, placing it in his mouth.

The elixir melted upon entering his mouth, and a tremendous energy rose in his abdomen. He quickly began cultivating to refine this energy, silently reciting the mantra.

A green aura appeared on Shen Long’s body. His features became blurry, and he seemed to almost transform into a tiger head.

······

The Heaven Cocoon Mountain Range had been the homeland of the Heaven Cocoon Clan for generations. Deep within the mountain range was a vast estate.

A tall and thin elder in a yellow robe sat beside a green stone table. The elder’s body was slightly larger than that of the Human Clan, with yellow eyes and spiral patterns naturally etched across his skin.

A stocky man in a green robe was reporting to an old man in yellow robes with a deferential expression.

"Teng Yan was killed by the Five Thunder Divine Monarch?"

The yellow-robed elder exclaimed in surprise.

Shi He, at the Great Vehicle Early Stage, the only Mahayana Cultivator of the Heaven Cocoon Clan.

He was severely injured by a formidable enemy in his early years and has not yet fully recovered.

"Yes! The Myriad Flower Fairy of the Human Clan ascended to the Mahayana Realm. She launched a surprise attack and that’s how Senior Teng met his demise. The Five Thunder Divine Monarch and the Myriad Flower Fairy invaded the Bloodvine Mountain Range. The Bloodvine Clan is no longer a great clan. Their subordinate species either pledge allegiance to the Crystal Clan or to the Profound Charm Clan."

The man in the green robe spoke with a face full of worry in the end.

Shi Chuan, the leader of the Heaven Cocoon Clan.

"What about Wu Pan?"

Shi He urged.

"Senior Wu has returned to the Profound Charm Mountain Range and activated the Clan Protection Formation, reflecting their fear of the Five Thunder Divine Monarch. If Senior Teng Qiao and Great Ancestor Shi Yang were here, it wouldn’t be the Five Thunder Divine Monarch’s turn to be so presumptuous."

Shi Chuan lamented.

Teng Qiao and Shi Yang were experts of the Bloodvine Clan and the Heaven Cocoon Clan, both having reached the Mahayana Mid Stage. They were active over a hundred thousand years ago when the combined strength of the Bloodvine Clan and the Profound Charm Clan was far stronger than the Human Clan, and the Five Thunder Divine Monarch hadn’t yet advanced to Mahayana.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven opened, and Teng Qiao and Shi Yang entered to seek treasures, hoping to advance even further, but unfortunately, they died within the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven.

With the Five Thunder Divine Monarch’s advancement to Mahayana, the Mahayana Cultivators of the Bloodvine and Heaven Cocoon Clans are no match.

A powerful Mahayana Cultivator can shelter a clan for hundreds of thousands of years. In the upcoming centuries, the Heaven Cocoon Clan, Crystal Clan, and Profound Charm Clan must behave.

"The Five Thunder Body is indeed formidable. It might not be so powerful if it were any other spiritual body. I plan to travel abroad, so you all should avoid provoking the Human Clan and stay low-key."

Shi He instructed.

With the Five Thunder Divine Monarch’s power so great, Shi He no longer dared to stay on the Green Lotus Continent and planned to go abroad to lay low and also to seek Miracle Elixirs to heal his injuries.

"Elder Ancestor, please take some of our people with you! We cannot all stay on Green Lotus Continent."

Shi Chuan suggested.

With the Five Thunder Divine Monarch already so powerful, and now with the addition of the Myriad Flower Fairy, the Human Clan’s strength has grown even more. It’s uncertain when they may strike.

Shi He nodded; he also had this intention, firstly to preserve the seeds of the clan, and secondly to allow the clan members to seek opportunities.

The next morning, Shi He left the Heaven Cocoon Mountain Range with a group of elites, and Shi Chuan sealed off the news.

······

As time flies, ten thousand years have passed.

In the Qianling Mountain Range, Qianling Sect.

In a verdant garden filled with birdsong and floral fragrance, Mo Bingbing and He Zixiao sat in a Green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

More than ten thousand years ago, Qianling Sect gained a large territory and five seventh-tier mines, thus widely accepting disciples and increasing by four Unity Cultivators.

The Unity Cultivators of Qianling Sect now numbered more than ten. The Myriad Sect’s Great Elder perished in the racial great war, and throughout the ten thousand years, several Unity Cultivators fell consecutively, severely weakening their power. They were dropped from the ranks of the top ten powers of the Human Clan on the Green Lotus Continent and replaced by Qianling Sect.

Mo Bingbing has overcome her bottleneck and ascended to the Body Integration Realm, continuing to serve as the Sect Leader of Qianling Sect, a representation of the sect’s influence.

"Essence Blood of a seventh-stage Tian Hu Beast! Not bad. If Junior Brother Shen knew, he would definitely be pleased."

Mo Bingbing said with a smile.

With the significant increase in Qianling Sect’s power, they opened a marketplace in Thousand Spirit City to sell Cultivation Resources.

Shen Long’s reputation was known far and wide. The Spiritual Beasts, Birds, and Insects of Qianling Sect were very popular and sold well. Qianling Sect began to form merchant groups to go to Thunder Continent to acquire Cultivation Resources.

Recently, a merchant team from Qianling Sect returned from Thunder Continent, led by He Zixiao. He had acquired a vial of a seventh-tier mid-stage Tian Hu Beast’s Essence Blood, something that Shen Long had been collecting.

"Knowing that Junior Brother Shen needs this item, I invested a significant amount at the auction. Have Junior Brother Shen and Junior Sister Chu come out of seclusion yet?"

He Zixiao asked curiously.

Qin Wei had already gone on a journey, and Shen Long and Chu Buyu had been in closed cultivation for over ten thousand years.
