Chapter 961: 870 three thousand years

Yaoguang Realm, a broad expanse of azure blue sea, where sea breezes swept through in waves.

A white escape light shot across the sky at high speed.

Before long, the white escape light stopped above a desolate island spanning a thousand miles, the light retracted, revealing the figure of Yu Xuan, her complexion pale, bearing the appearance of someone whose vital energy was severely injured.

"Master Blood Shadow! I’ll remember this debt, and we will settle it sooner or later."

Yu Xuan muttered to herself. She had encountered a Mahayana Mid Stage cultivator, Master Blood Shadow, who had cultivated the Spirit Domain to the threshold; even without a Xuantian Treasure, he managed to injure Yu Xuan.

Had it not been for her successful transformation into a True Spirit, she would have perished.

"It seems only Zhuixian Cave Heaven is safe now."

Yu Xuan spoke to herself, her body radiating bright white light, turning into a white escape light and disappeared.

······

Time does not stop and seasons flow like water; three thousand years have passed.

Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Green Lotus Continent.

Golden Roc Peak, inside a certain practice room.

Shen Long sat cross-legged on a green cushion, eyes gently closed.

A Sound Transmission Talisman flew in, landing before him.

Shen Long opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath, flicked his fingers, and a beam of spiritual light shot out, striking the Sound Transmission Talisman.

With a muffled sound, the talisman self-ignited, bringing Sun Lin’s voice: "Uncle Shen, Taoist Friend Lin from Eight Directions Tower has come, claiming to be on an errand from Senior Nangong to deliver a message to you."

"Eight Directions Tower!"

Shen Long’s expression tensed, it must be related to the Eighth Rank Monster Bird.

He quickly got up and walked out, with Sun Lin standing at the doorway.

"Where is the person from Eight Directions Tower? Bring him to Golden Roc Peak, I have questions for him."

Shen Long instructed.

Sun Lin acknowledged and left to carry out the order.

Shen Long sat down in a Green Stone Pavilion; soon after, Sun Lin arrived with a tall and thin young man dressed in blue.

"Junior Lin Hai greets Senior Shen."

The young man in blue bowed and introduced himself.

"What message does Nangong have for me?"

Shen Long asked.

Lin Hai took out a shimmering jade stone and handed it to Shen Long, saying, "The master’s words are all within this Voice Transmission Jade, but he has placed a Divine Sense Restriction; only the Divine Sense of a Mahayana Cultivator can unlock it."

"What does Nangong want as compensation?"

Shen Long inquired.

"The master said that Senior Shen will understand once you hear the contents of the Voice Transmission Jade," Lin Hai replied truthfully.

"Wait here for a moment."

Shen Long ordered, then stepped back into the practice room.

A red light shone from his forehead, and a huge red blade of light flew out, striking the Voice Transmission Jade.

The jade immediately radiated brilliant spiritual light, and a thin membrane appeared and burst, like a soap bubble.

Shen Long infused mana into the jade, and Nangong Ming’s voice emerged: "Taoist Friend Shen, we’ve received information that the Eighth Rank Monster Bird with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline has been spotted in the Shadow Realm. We hope this can be of help to you. I’ve sent Lin Hai to deliver you this message. As for compensation, we can discuss it when we next meet."

"Shadow Realm!"

Shen Long furrowed his brows.

He had heard of the Shadow Realm; it was a territory of Different Clans, located dozens of realms apart from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot.

He had ascended to the Mahayana Realm over ten thousand years ago, but without the Essence Blood of the Eighth Rank Monster Bird with Vermilion Bird Bloodline, he couldn’t continue cultivating the Beast Immortal Scripture. Now that he had this information, naturally, he had to make the trip to the Shadow Realm.

Shen Long had pondered over the Spirit Domain for thousands of years, to no avail.

Shen Long pocketed the Voice Transmission Jade and walked outside.

"Go back and thank Nangong for me; when I find the time, I’ll be sure to visit."

Shen Lang said to Lin Hai.

"Yes, Senior Shen."

Lin Hai readily agreed and followed Sun Lin away.

Shen Long arrived at the entrance of a practice room and sent a Sound Transmission Talisman.

After half an hour had passed, the doors of the practice room remained tightly shut.

"It seems my wife is at a critical moment in her cultivation and cannot leave. Well, I’ll have to make the trip to the Shadow Realm myself!"

Shen Long muttered to himself.

The Qinglian True Flame consumed an Eighth Rank Spiritual Flame in batches and has smoothly ascended to the Eighth Rank.

Shen Lang has also ascended to the Mahayana Realm. With this, Shen Long’s strength has grown even stronger.

Shen Long walked out, and Sun Lin also returned.

"I plan to make a trip to the Shadow Realm to seek out an Eighth Rank Monster Bird. If my wife comes out of seclusion, please tell her."

Shen Long instructed.

Chu Buyu and Li Dong were in charge of the Qianling Sect, so Shen Long was at ease.

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

Sun Lin replied promptly.

Shen Long gave a few more instructions and then transformed into an Escape Light, leaving the Qianling Sect.

······

In the Jade Balance Realm, within the Green Phoenix Ocean area,

On Green Phoenix Island, at the Gu Family,

A tranquil manor where Gu Xueyun, Gu Xuelin, and a tall and thin young man in green were sitting in a Green Stone Pavilion, discussing something.

"The Blue-Eyed Cold Silkworm has gone to the Zhuixian Cave Heaven? Is that true?"

Gu Xuelin asked.

"I asked Fairy Tianji to deduce the whereabouts of the Blue-Eyed Cold Silkworm. Based on the divination, the Blue-Eyed Cold Silkworm is indeed in the Zhuixian Cave Heaven, but Fairy Tianji cannot guarantee it will stay hidden there."

Gu Xueyun said.

"Hmph, she’s clever for hiding in the Zhuixian Cave Heaven."

The young man in green snorted coldly, his face filled with a murderous aura.

"Yun Sheng, it’s only natural for you to bear a grudge against her since she severely injured you. However, the Zhuixian Cave Heaven is infamously dangerous, and we don’t need to risk entering just to kill her."

Gu Xueyun said.

"The grandson understands; I just can’t swallow this indignity."

Gu Yunsheng said with a frown.

"You focus on your cultivation. If you can advance your Spirit Domain to a minor achievement, even at the Great Vehicle Early Stage, she’ll be the one running."

Gu Xueyun suggested.

"Without Miracle Elixirs to enhance enlightenment, it’s too difficult to comprehend the Spirit Domain."

Gu Yunsheng sighed.

The Gu Family had a Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruit tree, but the fruits were not yet ripe. There were some Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruits in the storage of the Gu Family, but not many.

It was not possible for every Mahayana Cultivator in the Gu Family to master the Spirit Domain. As long as one member of the Gu Family at the Mahayana stage mastered it, and with the aid of Xuantian Treasure, the legacy of the Gu Family could continue.

"There are quite a few things that can enhance enlightenment. Yun Lang is an Eighth Rank Talisman Maker; with the right materials, he can refine an Eighth Rank Secret Talisman to assist Mahayana Cultivators in comprehending the Spirit Domain."

Gu Xueyun said.

"I’ve already sent people to collect the materials. I hope they can be gathered soon. Since the Blue-Eyed Cold Silkworm has hidden in the Zhuixian Cave Heaven, let’s put this matter on hold for now. You both return to your cultivation. I hope you can comprehend the Spirit Domain soon."

Gu Xuelin said solemnly.

Gu Xueyun and Gu Yunsheng nodded, then stood and left.

······

In the Shadow Realm, within the Golden Shark Ocean area,

On a deserted island spanning a hundred miles, dense vegetation flourished.

A ripple appeared in the void, revealing a several-zhang-wide void tunnel, from which Shen Long flew out.

His Divine Sense was fully extended, and no other cultivators were detected.

A golden lock on his chest burst into blinding golden light, enveloping his figure.

As the golden light dissipated, Shen Long disappeared. In his place was a pot-bellied old man in golden robes, with long ears and a high nose, exuding an air of demonism.

The Different Clan in the Shadow Realm was extremely hostile to the Human Clan but less so to transformed spirit animals. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Shen Long had to use the Xuantian Treasure, the Lock Mimicking Demons, to alter his appearance and aura.

He touched his round face, quite pleased with the disguise, and transformed into an Escape Light, leaving the area.
