Chapter 926: 835 Hidden Danger (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

The power of the Nine-Color Divine Thunder was too immense; four strikes of Nine-Color Divine Thunder destroyed the Xuanluo Umbrella, but thankfully Shen Long had the Qiantu Guarding Armor Talisman, which deflected many injuries. He merged with Shen Peng, which spared him from serious harm; any other Mahayana Cultivator would have surely been killed by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Shen Long’s body radiated brilliant spiritual light, and then separated from Shen Peng.

He advanced to the Mahayana Realm, while Shen Peng ascended from the late Unity stage to the Unity Great Perfection.

Shen Long’s body glowed with a bright yellow light, and the wounds on his body quickly healed, disappearing without a trace.

Chu Buyu, Mo Bingbing, and three others hurried over, faces beaming with smiles.

"Congratulations to my husband for ascending to the Mahayana Realm."

Chu Buyu spoke up to offer congratulations.

"With master’s advancement to Mahayana, our Qianling Sect now has two Mahayana Cultivators."

Su Changfeng’s expression was one of excitement.

"Congratulations to Uncle Shen on advancing to Mahayana, and there’s more good news—a disciple named Wang Rui ascended from The Lower Realm; he grew up in the Spirit Control Sect and possesses an Eight Trigrams Body, a Diviner."

Mo Bingbing reported.

"An Eight Trigrams Body! A Diviner? Does he already have a master?"

Shen Long inquired.

He currently had two disciples, with Su Changfeng having the best aptitude.

"He does not have a master yet. The disciples from The Lower Realm knew the value of a Spirit Body Practitioner and had Wang Rui ascend to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot to seek a master."

Mo Bingbing explained.

"I will take him as my disciple! First, let’s settle him in, and after some time, I will formally accept him into my sect."

Shen Long instructed.

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

Mo Bingbing agreed.

After giving a few more instructions, Shen Long left the place and returned to Golden Roc Peak to consolidate his cultivation.

······

In the Qingxuan Realm, atop the Qingxuan Mountain Range.

Lai Chang and Lai Sheng stood at the peak, gazing into the sky at a mass of Eight-Color lightning.

Lai Sheng had ascended into the Mahayana Realm and was currently at the Great Vehicle Early Stage.

An overwhelming spirit pressure surged into the sky, followed by a woman’s loud laughter.

A red Escape Light shot out from the midst of the Eight-Color lightning and in a flash landed in front of Lai Chang—it was Lai Yue.

"Not bad, you’ve also ascended to the Mahayana Realm."

Lai Chang commended.

Lai Sheng and three others practiced the same Cultivation Technique, which allowed them to use a Combined Attack Technique, but only Lai Sheng and Lai Yue had ascended to the Mahayana Realm.

"Clan leader, has the murderer who killed Lai Chen and Lai Shan been found yet?"

Lai Yue asked.

They had survived and left the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven, returning to the Qingxuan Realm, where their elders provided Spiritual Objects and Treasures to help them ascend to the Mahayana Realm.

"It’s most likely the Dark Qilin. A Mahayana cultivator from the True Spirit Noble Family, the Yang Family, also died in the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven, said to be the work of the Dark Qilin."

Lai Chang said gravely.

Within a thousand years, the Qingxuan Clan lost three Mahayana Cultivators, including one at the Mahayana Mid Stage, which was a significant loss.

If Lai Yang at the Mahayana Mid Stage was not a match for the Dark Qilin, let alone Lai Shan or Lai Chen.

"Could it be the work of the True Spirit Noble Family, the Yang Family, or a Mahayana Cultivator from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot?"

Lai Sheng speculated.

"We can’t rule out that possibility, but without evidence, our main priority is to find out the whereabouts of the Dark Qilin and the reason behind the murder of Lai Yang. Being targeted by a True Spirit is not good for us either."

Lai Chang spoke in a grave voice.

If it were any other time, the Qingxuan Clan could afford to investigate the matter slowly, but not now. The existence of the Dark Qilin is a massive hidden threat. Without clarifying the reason the Dark Qilin targeted Lai Sheng, the Qingxuan Clan would be at an even greater disadvantage.

The Mahayana Cultivators of the Qingxuan Clan now dare not flaunt their presence when they go out and even need to travel in groups, such is the pressure the Dark Qilin brings to the Qingxuan Clan.

"Have we not found the Dark Qilin yet?"

Lai Yue asked curiously.

"The Qingxuanzhou Realm is so vast, who knows where the Dark Qilin is hiding. We have already requested the help of a Mahayana Realm Diviner to deduce their whereabouts, aiming to eliminate them."

Lai Chang spoke gravely, then as if remembering something, he added: "Right, you’ve just ascended to the Mahayana Realm, you should first consolidate your Cultivation."

Lai Yue nodded, then looked towards Lai Sheng and asked, "Have we figured out the origin of that Unity Cultivator who escaped from us?"

"It’s been cleared up. His name is Shen Long, from a small sect called Qianling Sect in the Green Lotus Continent, with one Mahayana Cultivator. With so many years passed, he might have ascended to the Mahayana Realm."

Lai Sheng reported.

"Let’s hope that by the time we get to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, he has already ascended to the Mahayana Realm; otherwise, it would be too easy to eliminate him, which would be a pity."

Lai Yue’s face was full of confidence.

After chatting for a bit, Lai Yue left to consolidate his Cultivation.

······

Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Green Lotus Continent.

Qianling Sect, Golden Roc Peak.

Inside a certain Practice Room, Shen Long was seated cross-legged on a blue meditation cushion, his eyes tightly shut, with a layer of azure radiance enveloping his body.

After a while, the azure radiance around Shen Long’s body dispersed, and he opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath of turbid air.

He had ascended to the Mahayana Realm about half a year ago and had already consolidated his realm.

The tenth to the thirteenth layers of the Beast Immortal Scripture required the aid of the Vermilion Bird Pill during cultivation, which is refined from the Essence Blood of an Eighth Rank Monster Bird possessing the Vermilion Bird Bloodline. Successful Cultivation would allow Shen Long to transform into a Vermilion Bird form and unleash some of the Divine Skills of the Vermilion Bird.

In the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, let alone an Eighth Rank Monster Bird with a Vermilion Bird Bloodline, even an ordinary Eighth Rank Monster Bird is a rare sight. By successfully Cultivating the tenth layer of the Beast Immortal Scripture, Shen Long’s ability to use the Art of Transformation grants him the abnormally powerful physique of a True Spirit.

Put simply, once he successfully cultivates the tenth layer of the Beast Immortal Scripture, whichever form he transforms into — be it the Mountain Giant Ape, True Dragon, White Tiger, or Vermilion Bird — he will possess the powerful physique of a True Spirit. This signifies a qualitative leap and highlights the formidable aspect of the Beast Immortal Scripture.

"It seems I must make a trip to another realm, to trade for the Essence Blood of an Eighth Rank Monster Bird with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline."

Shen Long muttered to himself.

He possessed the Divine Milk of Nature, which he could use to exchange resources with other Mahayana Cultivators. As for whether he could obtain the Essence Blood of an Eighth Rank Monster Bird with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, that was another matter.

Shen Long stood up and walked outside where Chu Buyu was sitting in a Green Stone Pavilion, and Su Changfeng was talking with Chu Buyu about something.

"Husband, you have left seclusion."

Chu Buyu beamed with joy.

Shen Long nodded and smiled, asking, "What are you talking about?"

"Taoist Friend Wang Tianyang has ascended to the Mahayana Realm, planning to hold a grand Mahayana celebration, sending out invitations widely. Our Qianling Sect has also received an invitation."

Chu Buyu relayed truthfully.

Wang Tianyang was an elite of the Wang Family; his ascension to the Mahayana Realm was not a surprise.

"It’s not surprising that he has ascended to the Mahayana Realm. By the way, Changfeng, call Wang Rui and Yu Ying over, your mentor has something to say to you."

Shen Long instructed.

Su Changfeng complied and used the Messaging Plate to contact Qin Yuying and Wang Rui.

Before long, Qin Yuying and Wang Rui arrived.

"Disciple pays respects to Master, Madam, and Senior Brother."

Qin Yuying and Wang Rui bowed in unison, speaking with one voice.

Shen Long nodded, then inquired about Qin Yuying’s Cultivation progress and cleared up some of her confusions regarding Cultivation.

His gaze fell upon Wang Rui, and with a pleasant demeanor, he asked, "Wang Rui, how are the Spirt Control Sect and the Sun Moon Palace faring in The Lower Realm now?"
