Emerging from Seclusion

Five years have passed quickly.

Spirit Control Sect, Golden Roc Peak.

A certain secret room began to shake violently. Inside, Shen Long sat cross-legged on a Red Prayer Mat, his hands transforming into enormous Crimson Dragon Claw, his body covered in red dragon scales.

"Finally, I succeeded! Haha!"

Shen Long's face lit up with joy. He had taken a high-grade Blood Flood Dragon Pill and successfully cultivated to the Seventh Floor. By all accounts, he had been in the Golden Core Realm for almost twenty years.

His claws glowed red and transformed into two hands.

Shen Long entered the Spirit Control Tower and arrived at the second floor.

He opened his mouth and let out a deafening dragon roar, a Red Sound Wave sweeping out and heading straight for the ground.

The Red Sound Wave struck the ground, causing it to crack and fill with smoke and dust.

Having successfully cultivated the Seventh Floor the Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique, Shen Long could transform part of his body into the form of Flood Dragon and unleash some of the Flood Dragon's Divine Ability.

Shen Long's face lit up with joy. He patted a White Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and a beam of white light flew out from it. It was the Ice Flood Dragon, which looked somewhat listless.

The Ice Flood Dragon's soul was injured and has not yet healed.

Shen Long took out a high-grade Beast Rearing Pill and fed it to the Ice Flood Dragon, along with three 300-year-old Ice Moon Grass, to allow it to unleash its Divine Ability.

The Ice Flood Dragon complied, but its reaction was much slower. If it were attacked by multiple Core Formation Cultivator at this moment, it would be killed sooner or later.

Shen Long put it back into his Spirit Beast Bag and left the Spirit Control Tower.

He took out a red Communication Disk, cast a spell, and asked, "Nephew Qian, have you collected any spirit medicine or fruits to heal the wounds of the soul?"

"Not yet. These kinds of spirit medicine and fruits are very rare. I've asked many people, but none of them have been found."

Qian Dafu said.

"Okay, keep an eye on things!"

Shen Long gave the order to cut off the communication.

He got up and went out into a secret room. Inside, there was a Green Altar Table with his parents' Spirit Tablet on it.

Shen Long lit the incense sticks and placed them in the Incense Burner.

"Father, Mother, don't worry, I will avenge you."

Shen Long said.

He arrived at Ice Silkworm Valley, met Chen Bing, and asked, "Senior Sister, is Master available?"

"You've come at an inopportune time. Master is in seclusion and doesn't know when he'll emerge. Do you have something urgent?"

Chen Bing asked.

"No, since Master is in seclusion, then forget it."

Shen Long said.

He simply wanted to greet Master Ice Silkworm; he was going to personally avenge his enemy.

Shen Long stomped his right foot on the ground and transformed into a Escape Light, leaving the Spirit Control Sect.

······

Wei Kingdom, Golden Flame Sect.

In a sprawling manor, Master Golden Flame and a voluptuous Black-Skirted Woman sat in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting.

"Chen He has also advanced to the Golden Core Realm, making our Golden Flame Sect even stronger."

The Black-Skirted Woman spoke with a smile, exuding a strong aura of Yin Qi.

Lv Yue, early stage of Core Formation, is the dao companion of Master Golden Flame.

"That being said, we still need to be careful. If the Tang Clan discovers our true identities, it will be troublesome."

Master Golden Flame reminded him.

"Don't worry! Wei Kingdom and Tang Kingdom are far apart. The three of us have been disguising ourselves, so the Tang Clan members won't find us so easily."

Lv Yue said nonchalantly.

"That's true, but if you stand by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. Last time you almost got caught, but luckily your treasure Mysterious Yin Banner, was quite powerful, and with my help, we wiped them out. You should stay home less in the future! If you're discovered practicing ghostly Cultivation Method, it'll be a huge problem. Wei Kingdom is the territory of the righteous path."

Master Golden Flame gave his instructions.

Lv Yue nodded. In the territory of the righteous path, Core Formation Cultivator like her who practice ghostly Cultivation Method are easily ostracized and attract more attention. If the Tang Clan cultivators are attracted, it will be troublesome.

After chatting for a while, Lv Yue went back to cultivate.

The Green Peach Mountain Range are located in the central part of the Wei Kingdom, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. This is the ancestral home of the Wei Clan.

The Wei Clan has a history of over a thousand years. At its peak, it produced Nascent Soul Cultivator and was once the number one cultivation Lineage in the Wei Kingdom. However, the Wei Clan suffered several major calamities, with the Nascent Soul Cultivator and many Core Formation Cultivator perishing. The family declined year by year. If it weren't for the fact that the Wei Clan still Core Formation Cultivator, they would have been wiped out by their enemies long ago.

Deep within the Green Peach Mountain Range, one can see numerous buildings and cultivators.

Green Peach Peak, a strategically important location for the Wei Clan.

In a secluded room, a voluptuous White-Skirted Woman sat cross-legged on a white jade bed, her whole body enveloped in a white glow, her eyes closed.

A Sound Transmission Talisman flew in and landed in front of the White-Skirted Woman.

The White-Skirted Woman seemed to sense something; the white glow on her body dissipated, and she opened her eyes.

With a flick of her finger, a beam of white light shot out and struck the Sound Transmission Talisman. The Sound Transmission Talisman ignited, transmitting a respectful female voice. "Ancestor Tianxue, a Core Formation Cultivator has come to visit, specifically requesting to see you. What do you think?"

"Core Formation Cultivator!"

Wei Tianxue frowned, took out Dharma Disk that shimmered with white light, cast a spell on it, and asked, "What is the background of that Core Formation Cultivator? What is his name?"

"He claimed his surname was Yu, but his background was unknown. I've never heard of such a person in the cultivation Immortal Realm of the Wei Kingdom."

A respectful female voice rang out.

"Has our Wei Clan recently made an enemy of anyone?"

Wei Tianxue asked in confusion.

"No way! Even the Golden Flame Sect is riding roughshod over us, why would we want to make enemies on our own initiative?"

The woman said.

"Understood. I'll go out and meet him, and activate part of the Clan Protection Array."

Wei Tianxue put away the Dharma Disk and walked out.

On the outskirts of the Green Peach Mountain Range, a Blue-Shirted Youth with ordinary features stood high in the sky, his expression indifferent.

The Blue-Shirted Youth was Shen Long, who had changed his appearance. He had inquired and learned that the Golden Flame Sect had at least three Core Formation Cultivator. It was unrealistic for him to destroy the three Core Formation Cultivator of the Golden Flame Sect with his own strength. He also learned that the Golden Flame Sect had grudges with several forces, and the Wei Clan was one of them.

The Wei Clan was once the number one cultivation Lineage in the Wei Kingdom, but it is not as powerful as before. However, the Wei Clan has a large network of connections, making it the best force to deal with the Golden Flame Sect.

Wei Tianxue out, looked Shen Long up and down with a puzzled expression, bowed, and politely asked, "My name is Wei Tianxue. May I ask how you should address me, friend?"

"Yu Long, I heard from fellow Daoists of the Golden Flame Sect that Madam Wei Divine Ability incredibly perceptive. I've come here specifically to exchange a few sparring sessions with Madam Wei."

Shen Long said with a smile.

"Golden Flame Sect, shall we spar?"

Wei Tianxue's face was full of vigilance, and her Divine Sense was wide open. She thought that the Golden Flame Sect had come to wipe them out.

"Madam Wei, please don't misunderstand. I have no ill intentions, nor am I here on anyone's orders. I simply wish to exchange a few sparring moves with Madam Wei."

Shen Long said.

He was in the early stage of Core Formation, while Wei Tianxue was in the Core Formation Mid Stage.

"A friendly spar? This isn't the place. Let's find somewhere else."

After a moment's thought, Wei Tianxue agreed and flew off into the distance.

Shen Long nodded and followed.

Wei Tianxue flew thirty miles before stopping, her face full of vigilance.
