Chapter 946: 855 Heavenly Blade Sect (Seeking Monthly Votes)

A vast estate, the signboard atop the entrance, danced with golden characters that read "Tianji Garden" in the style of dragons and phoenixes in flight.

Tianji Fairy was sitting in a green stone pavilion with a tall, thin young man in a blood robe, leisurely sipping tea and chatting.

"Taoist Friend Qiu wasn’t his opponent? This Taoist Friend Shen wields considerable divine skills."

The blood-robed youth expressed some surprise.

Blood River True Monarch, at the middle stage of Mahayana.

"Rumors say that the Myriad Demons True Scripture was handed down from the Immortal Realm, so it’s quite normal for Taoist Friend Shen, who cultivates this technique, to possess powerful divine skills."

Tianji Fairy spoke unconcernedly.

"What? From the Immortal Realm? Isn’t it a cultivation technique created by the Ten Thousand Spirits Monarch?"

Blood River True Monarch exclaimed in astonishment.

Tianji Fairy scoffed with disdain and explained, "That is just some people attributing it falsely to Ten Thousand Spirits Monarch. Since he is not a Heaven Venerable and has never slain a True Spirit, how could he possibly have created such a technique? From his own imagination?"

"I heard that Ten Thousand Spirits Monarch consumed the Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit, which significantly enhanced his understanding, and that’s how he created the Myriad Demons True Scripture. I didn’t expect it to be just a rumor."

Blood River True Monarch said in amazement.

"The Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit indeed can improve one’s comprehension abilities in a short period of time, but creating a powerful divine technique is still immensely challenging. At the very least, one must have crossed hands with a True Spirit! Otherwise, based on recorded texts or one’s imagination alone, how could one create such a powerful divine technique? If one had that much time, who would bother to create a technique just to leave it for others? Ten Thousand Spirits Monarch was a Loose Cultivator, not from a Cultivating Immortal Family or a sect."

Tianji Fairy elaborated slowly.

"That makes sense. If I were Ten Thousand Spirits Monarch, I’d spend that time comprehending the Spirit Domain instead."

Blood River True Monarch expressed his agreement.

"Taoist Friend Huang, you must be here for the auction to acquire the Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit, right?"

Tianji Fairy hinted meaningfully.

Blood River True Monarch nodded, "Huang indeed came for the Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit, hoping to win one at the auction. Otherwise, comprehending the Spirit Domain is too difficult."

He took out a Law Disk, radiating with spiritual light, injected a spell into it, and frowned.

"Immortal Dugu, Huang must handle something and therefore shall take his leave first."

Having said this, Blood River True Monarch got up and left.

Tianji Fairy muttered to herself: "Myriad Demons True Scripture!"

...

A day passed by swiftly, the sky darkened, and the streets were bustling with throngs of people and the clamor never ceased.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu were standing at the entrance of an estate, sprawling as the one before, with a signboard that spelled "Heavenly Blade Garden" in golden letters, flanked by two Void Refinement Cultivators at the gate.

"Eh? Taoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, are you also here to attend the gathering hosted by Taoist Friend Wei?"

A familiar male voice sounded.

Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch approached with a smile on his face.

"Yes, indeed! I didn’t expect Taoist Friend Qiu to be here as well."

Shen Long replied with a smile and nodded.

"Let’s go in together! Hopefully, we can exchange for some good items."

Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch suggested and strode into Heavenly Blade Garden.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu followed him into the Heavenly Blade Garden and were led by a man in blue to a quiet courtyard.

Three men and one woman sat in the green stone pavilion, among them was Five Thunder Divine Monarch, and a tall, thin elder in golden robes with the strongest aura, his sleeve adorned with a flying dagger insignia.

"This must be Taoist Friend Shen! I am Wei Dao."

The golden-robed elder greeted him with clasped hands, his tone warm.

The three introduced themselves in turn; Wei Dao was from the Heavenly Blade Sect of the Sky-High Realm.

At its zenith, the Heavenly Blade Sect boasted over a dozen Mahayana Cultivators and possessed a Xuantian Treasure. Although now in decline, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse; the Heavenly Blade Sect still had several Mahayana Cultivators, not something ordinary forces could compare with.

"I am Li Hong, and this is my wife Lin Wu; we come from the Jade Balance Realm."

A tall, thin young man in blue introduced himself.

"I heard Taoist Friend Shen is also a Spirit Controller; I’ve been wanting to exchange techniques on Insect Repelling and Controlling Beast Taming with you."

A voluptuous woman in a red dress spoke, her tone warm.

Shen Long smiled faintly and struck up casual conversation.

"Wei Dao, I heard you’ve entered the Zhuixian Cave Heaven?"

Heavenly Fiend Divine Monarch asked.

"Yes, Zhuixian Cave Heaven is very dangerous; an incarnation of mine perished there."

Wei Dao stated gravely.

"Wei Dao, did you encounter any True Spirits in Zhuixian Cave Heaven? I’ve heard some True Spirits have died there!"

Chu Buyu asked curiously.

"If I had encountered a True Spirit, I wouldn’t be able to sit here and chat with all the Taoist Friends. I met several Eighth Rank Monster Beasts, among them a descendant of a True Spirit, but he had not yet cultivated into a True Spirit, only reaching the Mahayana Realm."

Wei Dao explained.

"A True Spirit Descendant? Which kind of True Spirit?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon! He’s just a descendant, his Divine Skills are far from that of a Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon, yet I still couldn’t match him."

By the end, Wei Dao displayed an expression of lingering fear.

"Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon!"

Shen Long revealed a thoughtful expression.

Mahayana Cultivators continually entered, mostly at the Early Stage Mahayana level, these Cultivators came from various realms.

Half an hour later, the small courtyard had gathered over twenty Mahayana Cultivators.

"Wei Dao, long time no see, you must have cultivated your Spirit Domain to Great Achievement by now!"

A plump golden-robed elderly man asked curiously.

Spirit Domain is a kind of Divine Skill, also known as a simplified version of Law; when a Mahayana Cultivator masters the Spirit Domain, their strength increases several times over.

Late Stage Mahayana Cultivators cross the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations to ascend to the Immortal Realm; the Spirit Domain can also be used to ward off the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, the Spirit Domain is highly related to a Cultivator’s Cultivation Technique.

"Taoist Friend Lin is joking, Spirit Domain is not so easily comprehended."

Wei Dao replied with a bitter smile.

Shen Long didn’t have the Cultivation Method for the Spirit Domain, but he had heard of its formidable power.

"I heard that this auction will have Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit; many Taoist Friends probably come for this fruit."

Li Hong said.

After chatting for half an hour, Li Hong suggested exchanging resources, and all the Cultivators agreed.

Wei Dao was the initiator of the gathering and the first to take out items for exchange; with a flick of his sleeves, the table was covered with hundreds of items.

Eighth Rank Demon Pills, Spiritual Medicine of tens of thousands of years, Spirit Wood of tens of thousands of years, Eighth Rank ores, and others; Shen Long’s gaze landed on two Golden Jade Boxes.

"Wei Dao, what’s inside the Jade Boxes?"

Shen Long pointed at the Golden Jade Boxes and asked.

Wei Dao opened the lids of the two Jade Boxes, and inside each was a bloodlight-emitting fruit with profound and natural patterns, exuding a strange fragrance.

"Blood Essence Tempering Immortal Fruit! This Spirit Fruit comes from the Immortal Realm and can strengthen the physical body; its body tempering effect is even better than that of the Heavenly Dragon Fruit."

Wei Dao proclaimed.

"What? A Spirit Fruit from the Immortal Realm?"

The surrounding Mahayana Cultivators stirred, their eyes growing hot.

"This is what I brought out from the Zhuixian Cave Heaven, only two left. The body tempering effect is indeed impressive, looking to trade for materials of equivalent value."

Wei Dao said.

Upon hearing this, people like Li Hong started sending private messages to Wei Dao and took out items for Wei Dao to check.
