Chapter 928: 837 Master Vajra

The high echelons of the Heaven Cocoon Clan had already sent away a batch of elites, scattering and settling them to preserve their bloodline. That alone made a resurgence exceedingly difficult.

The Heaven Cocoon Clan had too many members; it was simply impossible for them to migrate as a whole. Even if they were to migrate, where could they go?

In places where cultivation resources were scarce, the Heaven Cocoon Clan couldn’t even maintain their current state, let alone grow and expand. In places abundant with cultivation resources, competition was fierce. Should the Heaven Cocoon Clan move there, they would have to engage in major conflicts with other forces, and the Human Clan might not let them off the hook.

The upper echelon of the Heaven Cocoon Clan hoped that the majority of their people would stay in the Green Lotus Continent to preserve their heritage, while a portion of their elites would leave the continent in hopes of having new Great Vehicle Cultivators emerge.

"If this takes too long, I won’t have the patience. Of course, you can take the opportunity to run away, but if you dare, no matter where you flee to, I will annihilate you."

Shen Long spoke with an indifferent tone.

If the Heaven Cocoon Clan openly sought to seek refuge with the Qianling Sect to buy time, while secretly planning a full migration, that would be toying with Shen Long. Shen Long would definitely not let it go.

Shi Yu’s complexion changed, and he hastily said, "We, the Heaven Cocoon Clan, would never dare to do such a thing. Senior Shen, please be reassured."

"Hmph, it’s better if you don’t dare. Master Nephew Sun, see them off! This matter must not be disclosed."

Shen Long ordered.

"Yes, Master Shen."

Sun Lin readily agreed.

Shi Yu bowed deeply and flew back into the white round bead. The woman in the white dress put away the white round bead, bowed deeply to Shen Long, and then followed Sun Lin to leave.

Upon returning to Golden Roc Peak, Shen Long informed Chu Buyu of Shi Yu’s purpose of visit.

"The Heaven Cocoon Clan moves quickly! I thought they would disperse their elites and leave the Green Lotus Continent!"

Chu Buyu remarked.

Anyone with clear sight could see that the future of the Green Lotus Continent belonged to the Human Clan. The Bloodvine Clan had already been reduced to ashes; which Different Clan would be next? If the Heaven Cocoon Clan truly could seek refuge with the Qianling Sect, they might still preserve their heritage.

"They must have already sent some elites away from the Green Lotus Continent. I would do the same in their place. It remains to be seen how much they are willing to offer."

Shen Long commented.

If what the Heaven Cocoon Clan offered was precious enough, Shen Long could allow them to preserve their heritage, but the Heaven Cocoon Clan would have to give up their territory to be managed by the Qianling Sect.

Shen Long took out a red Messaging Plate, injected a spell into it, and Sun Lin’s voice sounded, "Master Shen, a Mahayana Cultivator who calls himself Master Vajra has come to visit you by name."

"Master Vajra?"

Shen Long was slightly startled, completely baffled.

He had never heard of this person, nor had he had any dealings with Master Vajra.

"He claims to be from the Sky-High Realm! He is alone, and he appears to be a Buddhist Cultivator, wearing Buddhist beads."

Sun Lin reported.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Long instructed, "Understood, I’ll go out and meet him."

He put away the Messaging Plate and said to Chu Buyu, "Wife, I am going to meet him. If there is any anomaly, notify the Grandmaster immediately, and ask the Grandmaster to emerge from seclusion."

"Okay, my husband, be very careful."

Chu Buyu advised.

Shen Long nodded, then transformed into an Escape Light and flew away.

Outside the gates of Qianling Sect, a burly monk stood in the sky, a monk in a golden robe with his upper body bare, muscles bulging, a golden gourd tied around his waist, and a string of golden Buddhist beads worn across his chest.

Shen Long flew out of the gate, looked the monk up and down, and said with a cupped fist, "I am Shen Long. Greetings, Master."

Master Vajra was also in the early stages of the Great Vehicle, his aura slightly stronger than Shen Long’s.

"This humble monk was passing through the Green Lotus Continent and heard that Taoist Friend Shen has cultivated the ’Myriad Demons True Scripture’ and that your Art of Transformation is quite formidable. I’ve specifically come to visit and would like to exchange pointers with Taoist Friend Shen. How does that sound to you?"

Master Vajra asked with a resonant voice.

"Exchange pointers!"

Shen Long was slightly taken aback.

"Exactly."

Master Vajra nodded, his face filled with anticipation.

"This is not a place for exchanging pointers, let’s change locations."

Shen Long said, transformed into an Escape Light, and flew away. Master Vajra followed quickly.

Before long, Shen Long stopped on the top of a high peak while Master Vajra also landed on the top of a peak, the two standing a hundred miles apart.

Shen Long’s body emitted a bright yellow light, transforming into a ten-thousand-feet tall Yellow Giant Ape with bared teeth and a grimace.

The Yellow Giant Ape let out a roar towards the heavens, exhaling a yellow sonic wave that charged straight towards Master Vajra.

Master Vajra’s body shone with golden light as he recited Buddhist scriptures, and a golden sonic wave swept out, colliding with the yellow sonic wave.

With a thunderous boom, the golden sonic wave crumbled like paper and instantly dissipated.

The yellow sonic wave continued towards where the golden sonic wave had been, causing mountains to collapse and the ground to split wherever it passed.

Master Vajra’s right hand flashed with golden light as he struck out with his palm, conjuring a golden giant palm that shattered the yellow sonic wave and headed straight for the Yellow Giant Ape.

The Yellow Giant Ape threw a punch, the sound of tearing through the air resounding loudly, as a yellow colossal fist materialized and collided with the golden giant palm.

A massive explosion echoed, with the yellow giant fist obliterating the golden giant palm and arriving in an instant before Master Vajra.

Master Vajra’s body was enveloped in dazzling golden light, and a thick golden light shield appeared, protecting his whole body.

The yellow giant fist slammed onto the golden light shield, emitting a muffled sound.

"Taoist Friend Shen hasn’t successfully cultivated the 10th layer of Myriad Demons True Scripture, have you?" Master Vajra asked.

"I only possess the cultivation method for the first nine layers; do you have the method for the 10th layer?" asked an excited Shen Long.

Myriad Demons True Scripture, which was the same as the Beast Immortal Scripture, was a cultivation technique from the Immortal Realm, so naturally, Shen Long could not admit to it candidly.

"This humble monk also lacks the cultivation method for the 10th layer. It seems I have misunderstood," expressed Master Vajra with a face full of regret.

"Master, do you know of a fellow cultivator who has successfully cultivated the 10th layer of Myriad Demons True Scripture?" inquired Shen Long curiously.

Having crossed a few moves with Master Vajra, Shen Long realized Master Vajra could discern that he hadn’t successfully cultivated the 10th layer of Myriad Demons True Scripture, which indicated he knew the formidable power of this technique.

"I do know someone, but after he entered Zhuixian Cave Heaven, there was no news of him. He might have died in Zhuixian Cave Heaven," Master Vajra said.

"Zhuixian Cave Heaven?" Shen Long was completely puzzled; he had never heard of this place, which was certainly not in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot.

"That place is a dangerous land in the Sky-High Realm. It is said to be the abode of a True Immortal, guarded by numerous powerful restrictions capable of exterminating Great Vehicle cultivators. Rumors are such, but this humble monk has never entered," Master Vajra explained.

"The abode of a True Immortal?" Shen Long exclaimed in surprise.

"Rumors say so, but this humble monk is unclear about the truth. Let’s end our exchange here. We will meet again if destiny allows," said Master Vajra. After speaking, he transformed into a golden rainbow breaking through the sky and left the area.

Shen Long watched Master Vajra’s departing figure, his facial expression fluctuating between dark and light.

Master Vajra’s words carried too much information—the fact that cultivating the 10th layer of Myriad Beasts Immortal Scripture and possessing the powerful body of a True Spirit could still result in death within Zhuixian Cave Heaven suggested the place was indeed perilous.

He returned to the Qianling Sect and briefly shared the events with Chu Buyu.

"Zhuixian Cave Heaven? Never heard of it! We’ve never been to other realms, so we’re not familiar with conditions in other realms," said Chu Buyu with a frown.

Shen Long nodded and said, "I will refine Eighth Rank Elixirs first. I hope more Mahayana Cultivators will come to attend Taoist Friend Wang’s Great Vehicle celebration, so that I may exchange for some valuable items."

"You focus on your alchemy. I’ve already sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the Eighth Rank Monster Bird with Vermilion Bird Bloodline," said Chu Buyu.

With numerous powerful cultivators now in Qianling Sect, Chu Buyu dispatched several to other parts of the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot to gather information and collect resources.

Shen Long entered the Alchemy Room and sat down on a blue meditation cushion. With a flick of his sleeve, the Qianyang Cauldron shot out and landed on the floor.

He took out the alchemy materials and began the process of alchemy.

He intended to refine Eighth Rank Elixirs to facilitate the exchange of resources.

Shen Long added the materials into the Qianyang Cauldron one by one and closed the lid of the cauldron.

After a while, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted from the Qianyang Cauldron.
