Chapter 942: 851 Fairy Tianji

"An eighth-rank monster bird with Vermilion Bird bloodline of the eighth level? That is rare."

Nangong Ming was somewhat surprised.

"It is precisely because it is rare that we have come to seek Taoist Friend Nangong."

Chu Buyu said with a smile.

Nangong Ming nodded, "No problem, I’ll instruct them to help gather information."

"We’ll pay a deposit first! How many Top Grade Spirit Stones will it require?"

Shen Long asked.

"I have some matters I’d like to inquire about with the two Taoist Friends, if you could answer my questions, that would suffice,"

Nangong Ming proposed.

"No problem."

Shen Long agreed.

Nangong Ming flipped his right hand and a Law Disk twinkling with Spiritual Light appeared in his hand, saying, "This is a Heart Inquiry Disc, mainly used for lie detection. You may choose not to answer my questions, but if you do answer, I hope it is the truth, as I have friends who entrusted me to gather this information."

Shen Long nodded, "Please ask, Taoist Friend Nangong."

"Have you ever entered the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven and encountered True Spirits?"

Nangong Ming asked.

"No!"

Shen Long shook his head emphatically.

"Have you encountered an eighth-rank Wood Demon or a Flower Demon?"

Nangong Ming asked again.

"No!"

Shen Long continued to shake his head.

"Does the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven have the Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit?"

Nangong Ming persisted.

"Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit!"

Shen Long was slightly startled but still shook his head.

The Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit was also one of the Top Ten Spiritual Fruits, which, when consumed, could enhance one’s comprehension momentarily. This was used to comprehend cultivation techniques and secret arts and also assisted in improving skills like Talisman Crafting, Array Setting, and Artifact Refining, as well as Divination.

Formations and Divination required high talent, without which it was impossible to progress; however, with a Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit, one could advance rapidly.

Nangong Ming furrowed his brows and then asked, "Does the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven have Remnants of True Spirits?"

"We have heard there are, but we haven’t seen them in the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven."

Shen Long stated truthfully.

Yuling True Monarch obtained the Fire Qilin Remains, but Shen Long indeed hadn’t seen those remains in the Ten Thousand Spirits Cave Heaven; that was a fact.

Nangong Ming nodded, storing the Heart Inquiry Disc, and said, "Thank you, Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu. I will have someone keep an eye out for the eighth-rank monster bird with Vermilion Bird bloodline."

"Taoist Friend Nangong, you are too polite; it was merely a small effort."

Shen Long said nonchalantly.

After chatting for a quarter of an hour, Shen Long and Chu Buyu took their leave and arrived at the entrance of a five-story golden pavilion with the name "Profound Yin Pavilion" inscribed on the signboard.

Chu Buyu sent a Sound Transmission Talisman, and before long, the door opened and Chen Yin stepped out.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, good morning!"

Chen Yin greeted with a slight smile and invited them inside.

"Madam Chen, if there’s nothing else, shall we depart today? How about it?"

Shen Long spoke.

"Sure! I’ll notify Senior Brother Li right away, just give us a moment."

Chen Yin said, her face reflecting her joy, and she stepped upstairs.

Before long, Li Xiao and Chen Yin came downstairs, both beaming.

"Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, won’t you rest a bit more? It won’t be too late to set off tomorrow."

Li Xiao suggested.

"No need, it’s better to settle this matter sooner to prevent the Wailing Infant Beast from escaping."

Shen Long replied.

"Alright, then let’s depart now."

Li Xiao agreed, and the four left the Profound Yin Pavilion.

After leaving the marketplace, Chu Buyu summoned the Qianhuo Boat, transporting them away from there.

Three days later, a black Escape Light appeared in the distant sky, rapidly heading toward Wanhai Marketplace.

Before long, the black Escape Light halted, revealing a black, continually gleaming Flying Boat. A group of cultivators stood on it, their attire clearly indicating they were from the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Ning Xiang and a tall, skinny young man in a black robe stood at the forefront, their expressions calm.

"Finally, we’ve reached Wanhai Marketplace."

Ning Xiang said with a smile as she put away the black flying boat, and the group entered the marketplace.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they appeared outside a six-story black attic, above whose door hung a plaque that read "Heavenly Demon Pavilion."

A voluptuously figured woman in a golden dress stood at the door with a welcoming smile and said, "Master, Uncle Jiang, you have finally arrived."

Chen Mei, Ning Xiang’s disciple.

Ning Xiang and her group walked into the Heavenly Demon Pavilion, and Chen Mei reported the situation to them.

"Shen Long from the Qianling Sect is also here in Wanhai Marketplace?"

Ning Xiang asked with a frown.

"Yes, the disciple witnessed it personally."

Chen Mei explained.

"Understood, do you know where the Heavenly Corpse Divine Monarch has settled?"

Ning Xiang inquired.

"Heavenly Corpse Pavilion, on the next street."

Chen Mei answered truthfully.

"Take us there; we need to see the Heavenly Corpse Divine Monarch."

Ning Xiang ordered.

Chen Mei agreed and personally led Ning Xiang and the young man in the black robe to leave, while the other disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace busied themselves with their tasks.

······

A vast and unbounded azure sea, the sea breeze blowing fiercely, under a clear sky.

Deep beneath the sea, in a huge underground cavern, lay a blue colossal beast resembling a dolphin with a row of golden spines along its back and snow-blue eyes.

The nearby seawater churned violently, startling the blue colossal beast.

"Who dares disturb my meditation!"

The blue beast shouted angrily.

"I do! Listen to my command and surface."

A commanding male voice echoed.

For some reason, upon hearing the voice, the blue beast felt no inclination to resist and quickly moved towards the sea surface.

It emerged from the sea, seeing two men and two women standing in the sky above, notably Shen Long’s group.

Above Shen Long’s head hovered an enormous humanoid phantom, his Dharma Nature.

"Human Clan Mahayana!"

The blue beast shouted furiously, its body radiating with blue light, summoning colossal waves thousands of meters high to surge up from the sea, the noise of the tsunami unceasing.

"Subdue!"

Shen Long’s Dharma Nature shouted forcefully, striking straight into the heart of the blue beast like a sharp sword.

The beast’s body shuddered, and the massive waves dispersed.

A mellifluous flute melody sounded, and a wave of blue sonic vibration swept by, rapidly crossing over the blue beast’s body which issued a miserable cry.

A fluctuation in the void ensued, and a giant hand engraved with profound mystic symbols descended from the sky, aiming towards the blue beast.

The blue beast attempted to evade, but Shen Long’s Dharma Nature shouted, "Accept your death willingly."

The facial features of the blue beast contorted, its body trembling uncontrollably, unable to harbor a single thought of resistance.

The giant hand struck the beast’s head, causing the enormous body to twist violently, and tearing the nearby void.

Its head oozed out a copious amount of fresh blood, and all breath ceased.

A small mini beast flew out of the body, and Chen Yin brought out a green jade vase, capturing the mini beast.

"The Heavenly Sound Destroying Spirit Palm lives up to its reputation!"

Chu Buyu praised, noting that the surface wounds on the Wailing Infant Beast were minor, its internal organs all shattered by the sonic waves.

"If not for Taoist Friend Shen, it would have used its escape technique to flee; we wouldn’t have been able to eliminate it so easily."

Chen Yin expressed gratitude.

"We owe a lot to Taoist Friend Shen for his assistance this time, should you need any help in the future, just say the word."

Li Xiao earnestly stated.

"It was just a small effort, Taoist Friend Li is too courteous, let’s head back! Don’t want to miss the auction."

Shen Long replied, dissipating his Dharma Nature.

"Your cultivation is from the ’Myriad Demons True Scripture,’ right?"

A pleasant female voice sounded from the sky.

Shen Long frowned, turning his head towards the southwest direction.

A golden escape light appeared in the distance in the sky, stopping momentarily, and as the escape light withdrew, a sparkling golden Square Beast Carriage pulled by two dragon horse beasts came into view.

A slim girl in a golden dress stood atop the carriage, her aura as vast as the ocean.

"Fairy Tianji!"

Chen Yin recognized the girl’s identity, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.

Fairy Tianji excelled in divination, and many Mahayana cultivators sought her help, making her divinations extremely sought after.
