Chapter 927: 836 Heaven Cocoon Clan Emissary Visits

"The Spirit Control Sect and the Sun Moon Palace are allies, and both have been developing quite well."

Wang Rui answered truthfully.

After Yuling True Monarch ascended to the Mahayana Realm, he gathered materials and had an Eighth-Rank Array Master set up the Array, allowing Soul Transformation Cultivators to descend to the Lower Realm and support the Spirit Control Sect.

Chu Buyu, who was from Sun Moon Palace, naturally also supported it. Now, the Spirit Control Sect and the Sun Moon Palace are the two most powerful forces in the Qianyang Realm.

Shen Long has built many Secret Realms in the Qianyang Realm. The Spirit Control Sect regularly opens these realms for Disciples to enter and temper themselves. Moreover, with the Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure that could break through the realm barrier, the Spirit Control Sect’s caravans could trade with other realms and expand their own influence.

Now forty-eight powerful factions across realms look up to the Spirit Control Sect, and the Soul Transformation Cultivators of these forces ascend to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot; they can land on the Flying Spirit Platform built by the Qianling Sect and join it.

This is also one of the ways Qianling Sect absorbs fresh blood—Cultivators ascending to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot from the Lower Realm are all elites.

When Shen Long and Chu Buyu asked about the situation in the Qianyang Realm, Wang Rui gave a truthful reply.

"I’m not skilled in Divination, and we don’t have such talent in the Qianling Sect. I can help you acquire a High-Rank Divination Cultivation Technique in hopes that you will go further on the path of immortality."

Shen Long’s tone was gentle.

The Qianling Sect has never had a High-Rank Diviner, and most factions haven’t either. Diviners are even rarer than Array Masters, requiring higher innate talent.

"Yes, Master, your Disciple will definitely work hard on Cultivation."

Wang Rui promised with respect.

"Take these resources for now. Here are three Fifth-Rank Spirit Beasts, all mutated and have opened their intelligence. I have cultivated them personally."

Shen Long took out a Green Storage Bracelet and a Blue Spirit Beast Bracelet, handing them to Wang Rui.

"Junior Brother, congratulations! Neither I nor your second senior sister received such treatment."

Su Changfeng said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master."

Wang Rui received the Storage Bracelet and the Spirit Beast Bracelet with both hands.

"In a month, I will officially hold an apprentice-acceptance ceremony to take you as my Disciple. You all may go back and continue your Cultivation!"

Shen Long instructed.

"Yes, Master."

Su Changfeng and the other two answered in unison and withdrew.

"Husband, don’t you plan to hold a celebration for entering the Mahayana Realm?"

Chu Buyu inquired.

"No need. The Grandmaster attracted trouble from the Heavenly Demon Palace, and we have provoked the Qingxuan Clan; let’s keep a low profile!"

Shen Long explained.

Indeed, if he could successfully cultivate to the tenth layer of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Scripture, he wouldn’t fear the Qingxuan Clan or the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Sun Lin entered, bowed, and reported, "Master Shen, an envoy from the Heaven Cocoon Clan requests an audience, claiming urgent matters to discuss with the Mahayana Cultivators of the Qianling Sect. Ancestor Wu is in seclusion."

"An envoy from the Heaven Cocoon Clan? Do we have any dealings with the Heaven Cocoon Clan?"

Shen Long was puzzled.

He had not planned to hold a celebration for his ascension to the Mahayana Realm, yet the news had already spread.

"We do not. If he hadn’t hidden in a Cave Heaven Treasure and had Human Cultivators bring him, he would never have reached the Qianling Sect."

Sun Lin explained.

"Where are they now?"

Shen Long asked.

"They’re waiting outside the sect gate; we didn’t let them in. Only Junior Brother Liu responsible for patrolling knows their identity. This is what they asked Junior Brother Liu to pass on to you."

Sun Lin explained, producing an exquisitely crafted golden jade box, he handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long opened the box, and inside was a green storage bracelet.

Shen Long picked up the storage bracelet, swept it with his divine sense, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Inside was a considerable amount of cultivation resources, including more than thirty thousand top grade spirit stones, along with some materials for refining top grade sky-reaching spiritual treasures.

"Bring them to the receiving hall. You handle it yourself, don’t let anyone else make contact, and instruct Master Nephew Liu to keep it confidential, seal off the news."

Shen Long ordered.

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

Sun Lin agreed wholeheartedly and left to carry out the task.

Shen Long passed the storage bracelet to Chu Buyu. Chu Buyu scanned it with his divine sense and exclaimed in surprise, "The Heaven Cocoon Clan is quite generous! They’ve offered so many great items, including fifty stalks of spiritual medicine that are hundreds of thousands of years old and a piece of Heavenly Elephant Rock."

Heavenly Elephant Rock is an eighth rank refining material, generally used for crafting heavy top grade sky-reaching spiritual treasures.

"Now our Human Clan boasts five Mahayana Cultivators, two of whom are Spirit Body Practitioners. The Heaven Cocoon Clan, Profound Charm Clan, and Crystal Clan are no longer a match for us. I’ll go and see what the secret envoy from the Heaven Cocoon Clan wants to tell me."

After saying this, Shen Long left Golden Roc Peak and headed to the receiving hall.

It wasn’t long before Sun Lin arrived with a slender woman in a white dress.

The woman in white raised her right hand; a white round bead the size of a chicken egg shot out. After entering a spell, a plump girl in a green dress flew out, her shaped features obviously indicating that she was a cultivator from the Heaven Cocoon Clan.

"Junior Shi Yu greets Senior Shen."

The green-dressed girl bowed, her demeanor respectful.

"What does the Heaven Cocoon Clan want, sending you here? Speak frankly!"

Shen Long demanded sternly.

"Our Heaven Cocoon Clan hopes that when the Human Clan settles accounts with different clans, Senior Shen might show us mercy and allow our clan to preserve its heritage. The Heaven Cocoon Clan is willing to serve Senior Shen."

Shi Yu spoke with reverence.

"Spare your Heaven Cocoon Clan? Just for the things you brought? You think I’ve never seen finer things? Thinking you can tell me what to do just by giving me something?"

Shen Long’s expression turned cold, and an intimidating spirit pressure erupted, aimed directly at Shi Yu and the woman in white.

Shi Yu and the woman in white turned red-faced, their legs trembling, kneeling down.

"Senior Shen, please don’t misunderstand, I don’t have the gall, nor is that my intention. We only hope to preserve our heritage."

Shi Yu hurriedly explained, looking anxious.

"Where are the Mahayana Cultivators of your Heaven Cocoon Clan? Why didn’t you approach the Wang Family? Think carefully before you answer me."

Shen Long continued.

"The Great Elder entered the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven in search of treasures and perished without a trace. The Wang Family has a longstanding heritage, and Five Thunder Divine Monarch has already plundered the Bloodvine Clan’s treasure vault, so they might not value our Heaven Cocoon Clan. After much consideration, we turned to the Qianling Sect. Our Heaven Cocoon Clan is willing to cooperate with the Qianling Sect to capture the great cities of the Profound Charm Clan and the Crystal Clan."

Shi Yu said earnestly.

The Wang Family’s longstanding heritage meant it wasn’t easy to sway them; with the Qianling Sect hosting two Mahayana Cultivators with a heritage of less than a hundred thousand years, the Heaven Cocoon Clan leadership believed that siding with the Qianling Sect would have a higher chance of success.

"If you want to preserve your heritage, that’s not impossible, but these items aren’t enough. If you bring out some truly good items, I might consider it."

Shen Long spoke coldly.

Shi Yu frowned, her willow-like eyebrows knit together. The Heaven Cocoon Clan, of course, had many fine items, but feared Shen Long might renege on any deal after receiving them.

"Afraid that we of the Qianling Sect might take the items and not honor the deal? Hmph, at this juncture, haven’t you realized the situation? Does your Heaven Cocoon Clan still think it has the right to haggle with me? If you don’t comply, I’ll just take them myself. By then, it will be difficult for you to even think about preserving your heritage. Of course, you can scatter a portion of your elites and find a place to hide, who knows, there might be an opportunity to rise again."

Shen Long spoke slowly, his voice detached.

"Senior Shen, I cannot decide on this matter by myself. Please allow me to return and discuss with my clan. I will give you a prompt response."

Shi Yu said cautiously.
