Chapter 935: 844 Butterfly Effect

Shen Long’s divine sense swept over the items, revealing fifty strains of ten thousand year-old spiritual medicine, as well as three eighth rank demon cores.

He nodded, took out a green jade box and a golden jade box, and handed them to Ni Yubai.

"These are two Green Profound Passing Misery Pills and three Nine Revolutions Profound Pills; the former can weaken the power of inner demons, while the latter can assist a Unity Cultivator in breaking through to the Mahayana Realm."

Shen Long said.

"Thank you very much, Taoist Friend Shen."

Ni Yubai expressed his gratitude with a word, and took the two jade boxes.

"Taoist Friend Ni, I heard that the Wanhai Trade Alliance in the Tianquan Realm is hosting an auction for Mahayana Cultivators, are you interested in attending?"

Shen Long asked.

"I am indeed interested, but I have some matters to take care of and presently do not have the time to go to the Tianquan Realm."

Ni Yubai said.

Shen Long and Ni Yubai engaged in casual conversation, and the topic turned to the Zhuixian Cave Heaven, at which Ni Yubai took the initiative to mention the situation within Zhuixian Cave Heaven.

"Taoist Friend Ni, have you entered the Zhuixian Cave Heaven?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"I have not; however, I have a friend who has been in the Zhuixian Cave Heaven and emerged alive. She told me a lot about what’s inside the Zhuixian Cave Heaven."

Ni Yubai explained.

"I see, I thought you had been in the Zhuixian Cave Heaven yourself."

Shen Long said with a smile.

"Zhuixian Cave Heaven is much more dangerous than Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven. I heard that someone obtained a Xuantian Treasure there, and even True Spirits died in the Zhuixian Cave Heaven. I am just at the early stage of Mahayana, I wouldn’t dare to venture into Zhuixian Cave Heaven to hunt for treasures even if I had ten times the courage. To my knowledge, at least ten Mahayana Mid Stage Cultivators have perished there, with some Mahayana Cultivators even dying with the Xuantian Treasure in hand."

Ni Yubai’s expression turned solemn.

"The Zhuixian Cave Heaven is that dangerous! No wonder there are rumors that the Zhuixian Cave Heaven was the domain of a certain Heaven Venerable."

Shen Long remarked.

After chatting for half an hour, Ni Yubai bid farewell and departed.

Sun Lin came over, his expression grave: "Uncle Shen, the Heaven Cocoon Clan has sent us a message; an eighth rank monster beast has appeared in the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb."

"An eighth rank monster beast? What is the origin of this eighth rank monster beast?"

Shen Long inquired.

"It’s a Fire Qilin Beast at the early eighth rank chasing several Unity Cultivators. One of the Unity Cultivators from the Heaven Cocoon Clan was there, and only a soul fragment managed to escape, which is how the message was relayed."

Sun Lin reported while taking out a green beast hide and handing it to Shen Long.

This was a map provided by the Heaven Cocoon Clan, marking the location where the clan’s cultivators encountered the early-stage eighth rank Fire Qilin Beast.

The Fire Qilin Beast had not yet completed its transformation but was able to speak the human language.

"I’ll personally make a trip to the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb! I hope it’s still there."

Shen Long said in a deep voice and left the Qianling Sect.

······

Qingxuan Realm, Qingxuan Clan.

In a secluded manor, Lai Chang, Lai Ting, Tao Wu, and other five Mahayana Cultivators sat in a green stone pavilion, tasting tea and chatting.

"The Nine Palaces True Monarch is out? Can’t be contacted?"

A pot-bellied old man in blue robes frowned as he spoke.

Li Hong, a Mahayana Cultivator of the Chili Clan.

The Chili Clan and Qingxuan Clan joined forces to besiege the Dark Qilin. Somehow the news was leaked, and the Dark Qilin relocated its lair. They had to request the Nine Palaces True Monarch to deduce the location again, only to come up empty.

The Dark Qilin had grown wise and frequently changed its base of operation. The Nine Palaces True Monarch could only deduce the realm in which the Dark Qilin was located but could not pinpoint its exact location.

In a realm so vast, ordinary cultivators encountering the Dark Qilin can only face a dead end; they have no means of tracking it down.

"Indeed, even if the Nine Palaces True Monarch didn’t go out, locating the Dark Qilin is extremely difficult. It often changes location. We only know it’s in the Yaoguang Realm, but where exactly, we have no idea. Perhaps the Nine Palaces True Monarch deduces it’s in the Yaoguang Realm, but by the time we arrive there, the Dark Qilin might have gone to another realm."

Lai Chang showed a troubled expression.

"I’m more concerned about how the information was leaked. Mrs. Lai, you didn’t notify the people below, did you?"

Tao Wu frowned and said.

"Of course not! Only a few of us at the top are aware. How could I possibly tell the people below about such a matter? The problem is with your Chili Clan."

Lai Ting questioned.

"I didn’t tell the people below either. Even if the people below knew about this matter, they wouldn’t possibly spread it everywhere unless we have spies from other forces within our midst, and it’s the spies who got to know the news, thus spreading it."

Tao Wu analyzed.

"To dare plant spies within us and intentionally distribute the message, there aren’t many forces with such capabilities and motives. Are you suspecting the True Spirit Noble Family?"

Lai Ting asked with suspicion.

"Besides the True Spirit Noble Family, what other forces would dare to oppose us?"

Tao Wu said with a grave tone.

Not many forces dare to oppose the Super Clans, but the True Spirit Noble Family has the capability and motive.

"There are quite a number of True Spirit Noble Families. Do you know which one did it?"

Lai Ting raised her doubt.

"I don’t know. Other than the True Spirit Noble Family, I don’t think any other force would dare to oppose us. The Yang Family has a big suspicion. Yang Family Mahayana and your Qingxuan Clan Mahayana have both entered the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven in search for treasures. The Dark Qilin also comes from the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven. As far as I know, before this, the Yang Family had been searching for the Skywolf Divine Monarch, and the Skywolf Divine Monarch has now pledged allegiance to the Dark Qilin."

Tao Wu analyzed.

"The Yang Family is searching for the Skywolf Divine Monarch? Are you sure?"

Lai Ting’s voice became heavy.

Tao Wu nodded, "Sure! The Yang Family asked for help from many forces, this matter can be easily checked out, or else how could I suspect the Yang Family?"

"That means the Skywolf Divine Monarch has something very important on him, which is why the Yang Family is searching for him. If we kill the Dark Qilin, whatever is on the Skywolf Divine Monarch will also fall into our hands, that’s why the Yang Family is tripping us up in the dark."

Lai Ting analyzed.

This line of reasoning has no problem logically. The Yang Family has the motive and also the capability.

Tao Wu nodded, "Correct. With the Yang Family involved, it’s very difficult for us to find the Dark Qilin. After all, the Yang Family is a True Spirit Noble Family. Let’s first find out exactly what precious item the Skywolf Divine Monarch possesses that could arouse the interest of the Yang Family. There are not many things that could attract the Yang Family."

The Mahayana Cultivators present all agreed profoundly. Tao Wu’s thinking was not wrong.

The Blue-Eyed Cold Silkworm, considering a mutual downfall, then dispatched people to spread false news. However, the high-ranking members of the Chili Clan and Qingxuan Clan had other opinions, which were also reasonable, and this incident was developing in another direction.

······

Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Green Lotus Continent.

In the depths of Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb, a hidden underground cavern.

A gigantic Fire Qilin Beast lay in the lower left corner of the cavern, its eyes slightly closed.

After a while, the cavern violently shook, lots of cracks appeared, continuously widening, and the entrance split into pieces.

A huge Blue Dragon Claw descended from the sky, aiming towards the Fire Qilin Beast.

The Fire Qilin Beast quickly opened its eyes, letting out a loud roar, and with its gaping mouth, it spewed out a thick red flame, aiming at the Blue Dragon Claw.

The red flame collided with the Blue Dragon Claw, like an egg against a rock, and disintegrated instantly.

The Fire Qilin Beast’s body glowed with red light, turning into a red blaze and disappearing; the Blue Dragon Claw missed its mark.

In a continuous range of lush green mountains, the Fire Qilin Beast stood in the high sky, looking towards Shen Long in the distance.

"Human Clan Mahayana!"

The Fire Qilin Beast voiced gravely.
