Chapter 988: 897 Xuantian Treasure Fire Qilin Ruler (none left today)

Shen Long’s right hand flipped over, revealing an exquisitely carved white jade box. Opening the box, inside was a chicken egg-sized white crystal core, emanating pure energy fluctuations.

With a flick of his wrist, Shen Ao flew out from the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

"Master, what is this crystal core?"

Shen Ao’s gaze was fixated on the white crystal core.

"This is the True Spirit Core left by the True Spirit Nine-Eyed Ice Toad. Take it and refine it! I hope you can use this True Spirit Core to cultivate and become a True Spirit."

Shen Long said, flicking his wrist again, and the True Spirit Core flew out, heading towards Shen Ao.

"Thank you, Master."

Shen Ao repeatedly expressed his gratitude, opened his mouth, and inhaled the True Spirit Core, swallowing it down.

His face turned red with exertion, feeling a torrent of powerful energy surging into his body, threatening to burst forth from within him.

His body began to sprout a multitude of white dragon scales, and dragon horns grew upon his head as well.

Seeing this, Shen Long promptly took Shen Ao into the Myriad Beasts Tower, heading to the fifth floor.

An earth-shattering dragon’s roar echoed as Shen Ao transformed into an enormous white Flood Dragon, spiraling in the sky, facing the heavens with a prolonged howl.

The dragon’s roar persisted, a flurry of white snowflakes descending from high above, and gusts of cold wind blew in all directions.

After half an hour, the white Flood Dragon landed on the ground, its body radiating intense white light. Centered around it, the ground for tens of thousands of miles around was encased in ice.

Shen Long examined him carefully, confirming that Shen Ao was merely in a deep slumber, and then he felt at ease. The energy contained within the True Spirit Core was too overwhelming; Shen Ao would need time to refine and assimilate it.

He left the Myriad Beasts Tower and said, "According to our investigation, a Lin-surnamed Mahayana cultivator of the Heavenly Demon Palace has mastered the Spirit Domain, but it’s unknown to what extent he has cultivated it."

"Unless this person uses the Spirit Domain to annihilate other Mahayana cultivators, it will be difficult for us to determine the extent of his cultivation of the Spirit Domain. Didn’t the Yang Family give my husband a Sky-High Talisman? Husband can comprehend the Spirit Domain, while I will refine a Xuantian Treasure."

Chu Buyu said.

Shen Long nodded, exchanged a few casual words, and then entered a Practice Room.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he took out a glistening golden Talisman, covered with profound runes – it was the Sky-High Talisman that could enhance one’s comprehension temporarily, lasting for a year.

He meditated to rejuvenate his spirit, and after half an hour, he opened his eyes, having adjusted to his optimum state.

Shen Long slapped the Sky-High Talisman against himself; with a flash of golden light, a thick golden barrier appeared, enveloping his entire body.

He took out a green Jade Slip and placed it on his forehead; his Divine Sense penetrated into it, beginning to comprehend the Spirit Domain.

The Bloodlight Continent is located in the central region of the Blood River Realm, rich in cultivation resources and recognized as a holy land for cultivation within the Blood River Realm.

The Bloodlight Mountain Range, situated in the southern part of the Bloodlight Continent, stretches for countless millions of miles, abundant in spiritual energy, with ancient trees reaching for the heavens and peaks vying for beauty.

Deep within the Bloodlight Mountain Range, one can see numerous figures of cultivators and quite a few structures; this is the headquarters of the Blood River Sect.

With a heritage spanning over millions of years, the Blood River Sect boasts a myriad of powerful experts; with no less than ten Mahayana cultivators, it is the number one sect in the Blood River Street, rivaling Super Clans.

Across a vast estate, a plaque reads "Blood River Garden."

In the garden, exotic flowers and rare herbs abound, with strangely-shaped rocks scattered about.

A tall and thin elder in a green robe and Ning Xiang sat conversing and sipping tea in a green Stone Pavilion.

"Profound Nether Divine Crystal in the hands of the Qianling Sect?"

The green-robed elder frowned and said.

Qin Xiao, Mid Stage Mahayana cultivator, Eighth Rank Alchemist.

"Strictly speaking, it’s in the hands of Yuling True Monarch; however, he might have passed the Profound Nether Divine Crystal to Shen Long."

Ning Xiang said.

"Hmph, how do I know if what you’re saying is true or false? Are you trying to use me to eliminate the Qianling Sect?"

Qin Xiao scoffed coldly.

With a bitter smile, Ning Xiang immediately swore by her Inner Demon, saying, "Taoist Friend Qin, how would I dare to deceive you? Every word is the truth; if there is any deceit, I shall see my cultivation regress, forever unable to advance to Mahayana Late Stage."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao’s expression softened and he spoke, "Shen Long is not weak in strength, he cultivates the Beast Immortal Scripture. If he reaches the tenth level, even I would have reason for concern."

"The Beast Immortal Scripture? Isn’t it the Myriad Demons True Scripture?"

Ning Xiang was slightly startled.

"That’s what common folk believe, but do you really think such a powerful cultivation technique could be created by an ordinary Mahayana cultivator? The Ten Thousand Spirits Monarch is not even a Heaven Venerable, hasn’t killed a True Spirit, and you think he could imagine and create such a formidable technique? It can fool ordinary people, but it can’t fool our Blood River Sect," Qin Xiao said slowly, as if recalling something, he then said: "You dare not move against Shen Long, but you can act against other Mahayana cultivators of the Qianling Sect. Don’t tell me you guys don’t even have that much courage."

"Of course, we dare. However, for the sake of prudence, if your esteemed sect were to dispatch Mahayana cultivators to join us in the endeavor, it would be even more foolproof."

Ning Xiang spoke cautiously.

After Wu Qian’s death, she finally told the Mahayana Cultivators of the Blood River Sect, hoping to exchange the news for Cultivation Resources.

"Our Blood River Sect’s Mahayana personally deal with Qianling Sect? Your Heavenly Demon Palace doesn’t hold that much clout. If you could produce a True Spirit Core or Xuantian Object, I might consider it," said the speaker indifferently.

Qin Xiao’s tone was emotionless.

The current power of the Heavenly Demon Palace was far inferior to that of the Blood River Sect. Just with a few words from Ning Xiang, would a Mahayana from the Blood River Sect personally make a move against a Mahayana from the Qianling Sect? That would be too demeaning.

"How could our Heavenly Demon Palace possess a True Spirit Core or Xuantian Object? If we did, we would have brought it out long ago."

Ning Xiang gave a wry smile.

"Then have a Mahayana Cultivator from your Heavenly Demon Palace take action to investigate and report back to me. I want solid evidence, not just a few words from you," said Qin Xiao in a heavy voice.

"Alright! Taoist Friend Qin, I will go back and discuss this with Senior Brother Lin and the others right away."

Ning Xiang agreed and left after getting up.

As soon as she left, a tall, red-clothed youth walked out from the side courtyard and said, "She’s quite the schemer, trying to get our Mahayana to act with just a few words."

Qin Dong, in the early stages of Mahayana, descendant of Qin Xiao.

"Never mind her. I wouldn’t even bother with her if not for the old times’ sake. Come with me to Taoist Friend Xun’s dual cultivation ceremony. It could be beneficial for your path to get to know more Mahayana Cultivators," said Qin Xiao.

"Yes, Grand Master Xuan."

Qin Dong agreed readily.

·······

Thousands of years quickly passed, Tianxuan Realm.

Yang Family, in a serene estate, Yang Yiwei, Yang Yixin, and Yang Honglei sat in a green Stone Pavilion, talking about something.

"With Honglei Ancestor’s action, victory came easy as expected. True Spirits are no match for you."

Yang Yixin said with a smile.

Yang Honglei became famous for activating his Spirit Domain to kill Master Moxuan and the Nine-Headed Demon Owl.

"I have cultivated my Spirit Domain to a minor completion. A True Spirit trapped within my Spirit Domain will meet its inevitable death. However, Master Moxuan was also extremely lucky, having found five types of Miracle Elixirs that assist in Cultivation to True Spirit. It’s only because of these elixirs that the Nine-Headed Demon Owl could cultivate into a True Spirit. That fiend’s flying speed was indeed fast; I couldn’t catch up. It took great effort to corner and eliminate them," Yang Honglei said slowly.

He seemed to sense something and looked towards the southwest.

Yang Yixin and Yang Yiwei also sensed something, and they looked towards the southwest as well.

Yang Yiwei took out a Messaging Plate that was flashing with Spiritual Light, injected a spell into it, and a hurried male voice came out: "Patriarch, the Spirit Testing Stele has reacted. A new Xuantian Treasure has appeared in the southwest direction."

"Follow up immediately, check which forces are frequently purchasing rare Refining Materials, particularly those with Mahayana Cultivators," Yang Yiwei instructed.

"Yes, Patriarch."

The man agreed.

Yang Yiwei put away the Messaging Plate and murmured to himself, "Someone has refined a Xuantian Treasure, but the exact location is unknown."

"Let’s hope it’s not an enemy," Yang Hongwei said gravely.

······

Heavenly Demon Marketplace, Qinglian Pavilion.

In a certain Artifact Refining Room, Chu Buyu sat on a red cushion, his gaze fixed on a red ruler floating in the void.

The red ruler emitted terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations, crystal clear and emitting a dazzling Spiritual Light.

The Xuantian Treasure, Fire Qilin Ruler!

This was the first Xuantian Treasure that Chu Buyu refined using the remains of a Fire Qilin. Having obtained the Refining Insights from the Great Elder of the Lin Family and the Hundred Refinement Divine Monarch, as well as the aid of an Eighth Rank Spiritual Flame, Chu Buyu successfully refined a Xuantian Treasure.

A Sound Transmission Talisman flew in. Chu Buyu opened the door, and Shen Long came in.

"Congratulations, my lady!"

Shen Long greeted her with a beaming smile.
