Chapter 964: 873 Cultivation Level 10

"""

Blood Shadow Continent, Blood Shadow Mountain Range.

A majestic palace, Suo Guang sat in the chief seat, his gaze somber.

Suo Yu was reporting the situation to him, frowning deeply.

"What? Suo Lan was killed? Guan Shuo also failed to catch up with the culprit?"

Suo Guang exclaimed in surprise.

"That’s right, this person is indeed at the early stage of Mahayana, but he is adept at the Thunder Escape Technique, and has an assistant who is also at the early stage of Mahayana, Friend Guan couldn’t stop him."

Suo Yu said with a furrowed brow.

There aren’t many forces that dare to rob the treasures of the Blood Shadow Clan, and Heavenly Demon Valley is one of them.

"Are you sure it’s the Demon Clan?"

Suo Guang continued to question.

"Certainly, this is the message sent back by Friend Guan’s men, their clothing bore the mark of Heavenly Demon Valley; it may not necessarily be the cultivators from Heavenly Demon Valley, but we can be sure that they exude a strong demonic aura."

Suo Yu analyzed.

"Give the command to offer a reward that includes a set of top-grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures and Miracle Elixirs that can aid in reaching the Mahayana stage, catch that person."

Suo Guang ordered.

"Yes, Clan Chief."

Suo Yu readily agreed.

The Heavenly Demon Continent is located in the central part of Heavenly Demon Realm, where many Monster Beasts dwell.

The Heavenly Demon Mountain Range stretches for countless miles; here the demonic qi soars to the heavens, and a vast number of Monster Beasts can be seen.

Deep within the mountain range, numerous buildings and quite a few transformed Demon Cultivators can be spotted.

In a secluded manor, a voluptuous woman in a silver dress sat within a green Stone Pavilion, and a tall and thin man in a yellow robe was reporting the situation to her.

"What? Our Heavenly Demon Valley’s people stole from the Blood Shadow Clan? Absurd."

The woman in the silver dress said with a frown.

Feng Li, at the early stage of Mahayana, the deputy master of Heavenly Demon Valley, possesses the Thunder Phoenix Bloodline.

"The news spread this way, saying that the person escaped from Guan Shuo, who’s at the middle stage of Mahayana. It’s someone throwing dirt on our Heavenly Demon Valley, these are their portraits, the Blood Shadow Clan offers a substantial bounty."

The man in the yellow robe took out two portraits and handed them to Feng Li.

Feng Li glanced at them and said with a frown: "There are only a handful of Mahayana Cultivators in our Heavenly Demon Valley, none of them are these individuals. Dispatch someone to clarify this matter, they won’t find it so easy to use our Heavenly Demon Valley as a shield."

"Yes, Elder Feng."

The man in the yellow robe promised and then withdrew.

······

The Qianyu Sea Area is located in the southern part of the Jinyu Realm, with many islands bountiful in Monster Beasts resources.

On a deserted island spanning a thousand miles, a ripple spread through the void, revealing a massive hole, from which Shen Long, Shen Peng, and Shen Lang flew out.

Shen Long and Shen Peng merged to become one, using the Thunder Escape Technique to flee, barely managing to shake off their pursuer.

Jinyu Realm and Shadow Realm are separated by more than a dozen realms; the Blood Shadow Clan’s Mahayana should not be able to pursue them so easily.

Shen Long held a long saber that flickered with golden light, brimming with spiritual energy.

The top-grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, the Qianxin Blade, capable of breaking through realms, was found by Shen Long in the treasure vault of the Cold Moon Clan.

Shen Long’s Divine Sense swept out, detecting no other Cultivators.

With a flick of Shen Lang’s sleeve, over a thousand blue-light shimmering Formation Flags shot out and hovered mid-air.

"Quick!"

With a light command from Shen Lang, the thousand Formation Flags burst out with blinding Spiritual Light, scattering and sinking into the ground below.

He took out a blue-light shimmering Array Plate, engraved with several spells, causing the ground to emit copious amounts of blue mist, covering the entire island.

The Eighth Rank Formation, the Four Seas Great Formation, possesses hiding, defense, and attack functions, which they had obtained from the treasure vault of the Cold Moon Clan.

Shen Long and the others flew into the mist, with Shen Long heading into an underground cave.

"Master, you refine pills at ease! We will protect the law for you."

Shen Peng said.

Shen Long nodded, entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, and arrived on Myriad Beasts Island.

He walked into an Alchemy Room and sat down cross-legged.

"""

This time, during his journey in the Shadow Realm, Shen Long managed to obtain the Essence Blood of an Eighth Rank Monster Bird with a Vermilion Bird Bloodline, but he also suffered a great loss.

Since his Ascension to the Mahayana Realm, it was the first time he was in such a sorry state. The Blood Shadow Clan truly lived up to its reputation as a Super Clan.

This also made him understand the formidable nature of the Spirit Domain; even after successfully cultivating the tenth layer of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Scripture, he could only flee when facing a Mahayana Cultivator who had mastered the Spirit Domain, unless he himself also mastered it.

"I’ll remember this debt with the Blood Shadow Clan and settle the score with you sooner or later."

Shen Long muttered to himself, his face full of murderous intent.

The Blood Shadow Clan inherently bore hostility towards the Human Clan, and Shen Long had nearly died at the hands of a Mahayana practitioner from the Blood Shadow Clan, so he had no fond feelings for them.

During his escape, Shen Long consumed a drop of Divine Milk of Nature, which completely healed his injuries.

Now, he needed to refine the Vermilion Bird Pill and succeed in cultivating the tenth layer of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Scripture. Mastering one more transformation would strengthen his power even more.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Qianyang Cauldron flew out and landed on the ground.

He took out the Alchemy Materials and began the Alchemy process.

Shen Long opened his mouth and exhaled Qinglian True Flame onto the bottom of the Qianyang Cauldron. He threw the Eighth Rank Monster Bird’s Essence Blood and other Alchemy Materials into the cauldron one after another, then covered it with the lid.

After the Qinglian True Flame advanced to the Eighth Rank, its power increased greatly, and so did the Pill Refining Efficiency.

A rich fragrance of the elixir emanated from the cauldron after a while.

One month later, the door to the Alchemy Room opened, and Shen Long walked out, his face beaming with a smile.

He entered a Practice Room and sat down on a red meditation cushion, lighting a stick of Soul-Soothing Incense and placing it in the incense burner.

Half an hour later, Shen Long had adjusted to his optimal state and took out a vermilion pill the size of a dragon’s eye, crystal clear, with twelve Pill Patterns on the surface of the Elixir – it was the Vermilion Bird Pill.

He placed the Vermilion Bird Pill into his mouth, and as the elixir melted instantly upon entering, a vast energy rose in his abdomen, followed by a sensation of a blazing flame in his stomach.

It wasn’t long before Shen Long felt his entire body burning hot, as though he had fallen into scorching lava.

He hurriedly circulated the cultivation spell of the tenth layer of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Scripture and began to cultivate.

Shen Long’s skin turned vermilion, as if scorched by the flames, and his eyes also slowly took on a crimson hue.

He felt as if he was in a boundless sea of red fire, at any moment at risk of being burned to ashes by the flames.

A red aura appeared on his body’s surface, and a Vermilion Bird phantom manifested above him.

······

In the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, on the Thunder Continent.

In the Eight Directions Mountain Range, inside the Eight Directions Tower.

Within a tranquil estate, Nangong Ming and Li Mengyun sat inside a Green Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.

Wu Song was reporting to them with a serious expression.

"The Heavenly Demon Valley killed a Mahayana member of the Blood Shadow Clan?"

Nangong Ming was somewhat surprised.

"That’s what the Blood Shadow Clan claims. They also said that two Demon Clan members at the Early Stage of Mahayana escaped from Guan Shuo’s hands," reported Wu Song.

"Guan Shuo possesses the Early Stage Mahayana Cultivation, and it’s said that he has just started to cultivate the Spirit Domain, having slaughtered a Mid Stage Mahayana Cultivator before. It is indeed impressive that two Early Stage Mahayana Cultivators managed to escape from him," Li Mengyun praised.

"Is there any news of Taoist Friend Shen?" asked Nangong Ming.

"No. According to our people’s investigations, two Human Clan Mahayana have entered the Shadow Realm and their whereabouts are unknown," Wu Song reported truthfully.

The Eight Directions Tower has branches set up in multiple realms and has established Messaging Arrays, which facilitate the transmission of significant news.

"Understood, you may go," Nangong Ming gestured with his hand for Wu Song to leave.

"Nangong Friend, do you suspect that those two might be Taoist Friend Shen?" questioned Li Mengyun curiously.

"Taoist Friend Shen is cultivating the All Monsters Scripture, with four transformations; the Mountain Giant Ape, True Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird. However, the Mahayana Cultivators who escaped from Guan Shuo were experts in the Thunder Escape, and the portraits don’t look like Taoist Friend Shen or Fairy Chu. It’s likely they haven’t reached the Shadow Realm yet. After all, there are dozens of realms between the Spiritual Pivot Realm and the Shadow Realm," analyzed Nangong Ming.

Li Mengyun nodded, "They dared to snatch something from the Blood Shadow Clan; the clan definitely won’t let them off easily. The question is whether they can manage to escape."

"Who knows, anyway it has nothing to do with us. I just hope Taoist Friend Shen is alright," Nangong Ming said gravely.
