Chapter 992: 901 Grandmaster’s Gift Treasure (none today)

"This time, thanks to Taoist Friend Shen’s timely rescue, I am deeply grateful," Lin said.

Master Xuanfu expressed his appreciation.

"Taoist Friend Lin, the Bodhi Divine Crystal is in your possession, right? Please come with us,"

Shen Long spoke up.

He had Shen Peng kill Lai Yan and the other two to assess Shen Peng’s power and to demonstrate his own strength.

The Bodhi Divine Crystal is a core material for setting the Eight Rank Array, the Nine-Star Great Formation, which enhances the cultivators’ comprehension, facilitating the understanding of cultivation techniques and secret arts.

The activation of the Nine-Star Great Formation consumes the Bodhi Divine Crystal, and once its power is depleted, it becomes useless.

"Taoist Friend Shen, are you also a descendant of the Lin Family?"

Master Xuanfu asked.

"We are not, but the cultivation technique we practice comes from your Lin Family. Strictly speaking, the Lin Family has been kind to us, and that’s why we intervened for your rescue,"

Shen Long explained.

"I appreciate your kind intentions, Taoist Friend Shen, but I’m used to traveling alone,"

Master Xuanfu declined Shen Long’s proposal.

Seeing Shen Peng and Shen Ao display their divine skills to eliminate enemies, Shen Long could not allow Master Xuanfu to leave. If the Qingxuan Clan, Blood Shadow Clan, or other major clans captured him, Shen Long would encounter trouble.

Moreover, Master Xuanfu is an Eight Rank Talisman Maker, a valuable talent needed by the Qianling Sect.

"Taoist Friend Lin, it would be better for you to stay with us. We can protect you and need your help. If conditions allow, we can assist you in rebuilding the Lin Family,"

Shen Long said.

"Put yourself in our shoes, Taoist Friend Lin; would you let us leave?"

Chu Buyu said meaningfully.

After pondering for a moment, Master Xuanfu said, "I can go with you, but my divine soul has been severely damaged, I can’t be of much help."

"I am an alchemist; I can help you with alchemy for healing. We have common enemies, and I hope we can collaborate pleasantly in the future. Enter the Myriad Bamboo Chart first, and we’ll take you from here."

Shen Long said, flicking his sleeve, a green scroll flew out, suspended in mid-air, displaying an array of green bamboo.

The Myriad Bamboo Chart, a top-grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, is a Cave Heaven Treasure, inherently possessing its own space.

The Myriad Beasts Tower is Shen Long’s secret, and Master Xuanfu was not yet qualified to enter.

"Taoist Friend Shen, what you just mentioned about helping rebuild the Lin Family, is it true?"

Master Xuanfu asked, looking solemn.

"If it’s within our capabilities, of course, there’s no problem. Without sufficient power, attempting to rebuild the Lin Family is tantamount to seeking death. You know this better than I do,"

Shen Long replied.

Master Xuanfu nodded, bowed deeply, and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Taoist Friend Lin."

Shen Long received Master Xuanfu into the Myriad Bamboo Chart, and they set off towards the Tianluo Mountain Range.

They plundered the resources of the Tianluo Clan, set a huge fire, and burned the place down.

Half a month later, the news of the annihilation of the Tianluo Clan swiftly spread.

······

In the Qingxuan Realm, Qingxuan Clan.

Inside a vast manor, Lai Chang and a tall, thin elder in a golden robe sat in a green stone pavilion, discussing something.

"What? The life-bound lamps of Lai Yan and the other two have been extinguished?"

The golden-robed elder exclaimed in surprise.

Lai Hong, at the Mahayana Mid Stage.

"It’s absolutely true. It appears that a Mahayana cultivator from a True Spirit Noble Family took action, or else, with their divine skills, they wouldn’t have been completely annihilated even if defeated,"

Lai Chang said gravely.

Within less than a hundred thousand years, nearly ten Mahayana cultivators from the Qingxuan Clan have perished, resulting in severe losses and damage to their vital energy.

"Issue the order to strengthen guards, send someone to contact the Blood Shadow Clan and Chili Clan. Many descendants of the Lin Family have ascended to the Mahayana Realm, and they’ve started to retaliate against us,"

Lai Hong instructed.

He suspected the Lin Family had intentionally released false information to lure the Qingxuan Clan’s Mahayana experts to the Tianquan Realm, setting a trap to ambush Lai Yan and the others.

"Could it have been the Yang Family’s support?"

Lai Chang speculated.

"That’s possible. To get the Blood Shadow Clan and Chili Clan to take this matter seriously, we must implicate the Lin Family. After all, they participated in the destruction of the Lin Family. If it was the Yang Family who took action, they don’t have a deadly feud, and won’t make too much effort,"

Lai Hong explained.

"Understood. I’ll send someone to use the Cross-Boundary Communication Array to contact the Blood Shadow Clan and Chili Clan right away,"

Lai Chang readily agreed, taking the command.

······

The Celestial Witch Continent is located in the southwestern part of the Celestial Witch Realm. The Witch Clan is the strongest race on the Celestial Witch Continent and one of the Super Clans, boasting a heritage spanning millions of years with numerous experts.

The Celestial Witch Mountain Range lies in the middle of the Celestial Witch Continent, stretching for tens of billions of miles, where many Witch Clan cultivators can be seen.

In the deep mountains, a secluded manor.

A plump woman wearing a golden skirt and a burly man in a blue shirt sit inside a green stone pavilion, talking about something.

"What? Taoist Friend Wu’s Life-Bound Lamp has been extinguished? Wasn’t he severely injured by the descendant of the Lin Family’s Divine Soul?"

The man in the blue shirt said doubtfully.

Wu Po, Mahayana Mid Stage.

"The Tianquan Realm and our Celestial Witch Realm are separated by more than a dozen realms; we do not know the exact cause of Taoist Friend Wu’s death. Let’s dispatch someone to investigate! Our Witch Clan’s Great Ascendant cannot die without clarity."

The woman in the golden skirt said solemnly.

Wu Xiao, Mahayana Mid Stage.

"I will lead the team myself! I have ties with the Great Ascendant of the Tianluo Clan in the Tianquan Realm; the last time I also led a team to participate in the Mahayana celebration of Taoist Friend Zha."

Wu Po volunteered.

Wu Xiao nodded and added cautiously: "Be careful, Taoist Friend Wu would not engage other Mahayana cultivators without good reason, surely they were vying for something precious, perhaps it involves the Zouhua Cave of the Hundred Refinement Divine Monarch, that True Spirit Core must be in the possession of the Hundred Refinement Divine Monarch."

"I will be careful, and if it is related to the Zouhua Cave of the Hundred Refinement Divine Monarch, then even better."

Wu Po said solemnly.

Three days later, four Great Ascendants of the Witch Clan left the Celestial Witch Mountains and headed for the Tianquan Realm.

······

Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Green Lotus Continent.

Qianling Sect, a team of cultivators was patrolling, led by a tall, skinny man in golden clothing.

A red escape light appeared in the distant skies, swiftly flying towards them.

Before long, the red escape light halted, revealing a red glinting flying boat with Shen Long and Chu Buyu standing aboard.

"Greeting to Master Shen and Grandmaster Chu."

The man in the golden clothing and others bowed in unison.

Shen Long nodded without uttering a word, and the Qianhuo Boat flew upwards into the sky.

After a while, they returned to Golden Roc Peak.

Shen Long took out a red glowing Messaging Plate, infused a spell, and Yuling True Monarch’s voice sounded: "Junior Brother Shen, you are back, come over to the Spirit Control Garden, let’s have a chat!"

"Senior Brother Wu, you’re back? We’ll come over right now."

Shen Long readily agreed, looking pleased.

Upon reaching the Spirit Control Garden, they saw Yuling True Monarch and Wang Rui sitting inside a green stone pavilion.

Wang Rui had ascended to the Mahayana Realm. Upon seeing Shen Long and Chu Buyu, he quickly stood up, bowed deeply, and said: "Disciple greets Master and Mistress."

"You’ve ascended to the Mahayana Realm, good."

Shen Long expressed joyfully.

"Without Master and Mistress, the disciple could not have ascended to the Mahayana Realm. Everything I have today, I owe it to both of you."

Wang Rui said earnestly.

A look of gratification appeared on the faces of Shen Long and Chu Buyu as they took their seats in the pavilion.

"Senior Brother Wu, where have you been? Why have you just returned?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"I was traveling outside seeking opportunities and managed to get some good items; here are two Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruits for you, along with some alchemy and tool refining materials."

Yuling True Monarch took out a green storage bracelet and handed it to Shen Long.

After scanning it with Divine Sense, Shen Long exclaimed: "Senior Brother Wu, where did you gather all these resources?"

"I found the Zouhua Cave of a disciple of the Myriad Wood Heavenly Venerable. With the Nine-Star Jade Begonia Fruits, comprehending the Spirit Domain will be much easier for you," Yuling True Monarch explained.

"Thanks a lot, Senior Brother Wu."

Shen Long expressed his gratitude and took the storage bracelet.

"Senior Brother Wu, here is a fragment of a Xuantian Treasure. My husband seized it from a Mahayana cultivator from the Myriad Ghost Sect. If you don’t mind, please accept this treasure!"

Chu Buyu took out the Heavenly Ghost Blade and handed it to Yuling True Monarch.

The power of the Heavenly Ghost Blade was far greater than that of a top-grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure. With this treasure at hand, Yuling True Monarch’s strength would increase significantly."

"A piece of Xuantian Treasure? You two indeed have incredible luck!"

Yuling True Monarch said in surprise. After a moment of contemplation, he took out an exquisite red jade box and handed it to Shen Long, saying, "This is the True Spirit Core of a Fire Qilin. Junior Brother Shen, use this to nurture your Spirit Beast. I remember you have a Spirit Beast with Fire Qilin Bloodline; let it refine this True Spirit Core. There’s a high chance that your Spirit Beast could evolve into a True Spirit."

"The True Spirit Core left by a Fire Qilin?"

Shen Long exclaimed, knowing this core could significantly enhance the chances of Shen Lin evolving into a True Spirit."

"Thanks a lot, Senior Brother Wu. Here are the resources we acquired; among them are two types of Spiritual Medicine that can aid a Spirit Beast’s evolution into a True Spirit, and some Eighth Rank Demon Pills for you to nurture your Life-Bound Spirit Beast."

Shen Long took out a blue storage bracelet and handed it to Yuling True Monarch.

After Yuling True Monarch scanned it with Divine Sense, he expressed his gratitude and accepted the storage bracelet.
