Thirty Years
A gust of wind blew by, and Shen Long appeared in a flash, standing behind the Master Purple Spider, wielding the Dragon-Slaying Saber to slash at the Purple Shield.
With a muffled thud, the Purple Shield flew backward and struck the Master Purple Spider, Master Purple Spider flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground.
A thick beam of white light descended from the sky and struck the Purple Shield. The Purple Shield and the Master Purple Spider quickly froze, turning into a huge ice sculpture.
Shen Long swung his sword, cleaving the Purple Shield and the Master Purple Spider in two.
Master Purple Spider perished, and the spiritual light of the Purple Spider Blade dimmed, causing it to fall from mid-air.
This time, it was all thanks to the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada; otherwise, Shen Long wouldn't have been able to discover the Master Purple Spider.
If it were a direct confrontation, Shen Long wouldn't have been able to kill Master Purple Spider so easily; he gained a significant advantage through a sneak attack.
Shen Long let out a soft breath, summoned the Soul Refining Bowl, collected the souls of the Master Purple Spider and the Red-Shirted Man, searched the corpses for valuables, and let the Ice Flood Dragon devour the corpses.
Shen Long landed and put away the Purple Spider Blade.
"Spirit Treasure! Haha!"
Shen Long burst into wild laughter; this was the second Spirit Treasure he had obtained.
A deafening explosion rang out, the ground cracked open, and a short, stout Yellow-Robed Elder emerged from the ground, his breath weak.
A somewhat noisy hissing sound rang out, and a yellow spider emerged from the ground. Its head was unusually small, its body was bloated, and it had eight spear-like claws under its abdomen. Its eyes were yellowish-brown.
The Yellow Spider opened its gaping maw and spat out dozens of fine yellow spider silk threads, piercing through the Body-Protecting Spirit Light of the Yellow-Robed Elder -Yellow-Robed Elder and his body, before pulling him into its mouth and swallowing him whole.
"A fourth-tier demonic insect!"
Shen Long was shocked and hurriedly put the Ice Flood Dragon, Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada, Iron Tail Scorpion, Tree Man back into his Spirit Beast Bag. With a gentle flap of his golden wings, he disappeared from the spot, and the Red Giant Brick smashed towards the Yellow Spider.
The Yellow Spider spewed out a stream of Yellow Poisonous Fire, which collided with the Red Giant Brick. The Red Giant Brick and the Yellow Poisonous Fire collided, producing a puff of blue smoke, and the spiritual light dimmed.
Dense yellow spider silk shot out and struck the Red Giant Brick Red Giant Brick, which was pierced through by the silk as easily as tofu.
Several miles away, Shen Long was in a desolate valley, his body covered in Red Dragon Scales. There were powerful restrictions here, and even with his strong physical body, he felt extremely tired with every step.
He summoned the Magnetic Essence Bead and infused it with a spell. The Magnetic Essence Bead emitted a dazzling golden light, and a Golden Light Screen descended, covering his entire body, relieving the pressure.
Shen Long quickened his pace and headed into the valley.
There are many restrictions here, Shen Long frequently uses Wind Evasion Technique: Wind Release techniques. If he accidentally triggers one of the restrictions, he'll be in trouble. He plans to go into the valley to hide.
Dense yellow spider silk shot out, but upon entering the valley, it instantly fell to the ground, unable to touch Shen Long.
Shen Long broke out in a cold sweat and quickened his pace.
Before long, he arrived at the end of the valley, where a cave about ten feet in size came into view.
Shen Long released the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada. The Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada's eyes shone with a blinding golden light. There were no other creatures in the cave, and not a single blade of grass grew.
Shen Long strode into the cave and soon reached the end, where a cave several hundred feet in size came into view.
The Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada looked out of the valley but couldn't find any trace of the Yellow Spider.
Shen Long took out Formation Flag Formation Disk plates to set up the array, setting up the Mystic Turtle Array, and then released the Iron Tail Scorpion and the Tree Man to keep watch.
He took out the Purple Spider Blade, sat cross-legged, and began to refine Purple Spider Blade.
With a Spirit Treasure in hand, his strength can be greatly enhanced.
There are fourth-tier demonic insects outside; he won't be leaving anytime soon.
······
The streets of Five Poisons Marketplace were bustling with people and noisy with carriages and horses.
In a Quiet Manor, Qin Ming and Lin Lin sat around Zhang Qing stone table, sipping tea and chatting.
"I never imagined Fellow Daoist Shen's Divine Ability were so great. He actually annihilated the descendant of Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Witch Clan. Wu Xian has issued a hefty reward for Fellow Daoist Shen's capture."
Qin Ming asked in surprise.
Not long ago, the Enforcement Hall of the Five Saints Sect destroyed an intelligence network that the Witch Clan had planted within the Human Race, and arrested a group of Human Race cultivators who worked for the Witch Clan. After interrogation, they learned that Wu Xian had offered a large reward for Shen Long's capture, and also knew that Shen Long had killed Wu Mountain.
"Indeed! Fellow Daoist Shen is not only proficient in alchemy, but also incredibly strong, possessing two Mutated Spirit Insect."
Lin Lin looked on with envy.
Qin Ming nodded and said, "It's never a bad thing to have more friends. I've already given orders to have people keep an eye out for Fellow Daoist Shen. If they run into him, tell him that Wu Xian is offering a large reward for his capture!"
He also had no goodwill towards the Witch Clan. Since the Witch Clan cultivators wanted to arrest Shen Long, Qin Ming would naturally inform them.
"So many years have passed, perhaps he has left the Southern Border Cultivation World."
Lin Lin guessed.
Qin Ming nodded and said, "Maybe! In any case, befriending this person won't do us any harm."
······
Time flies, and thirty years have passed.
The East Hua Cultivation World, Qin Kingdom, Spirit Control Sect.
Han Yuwei and Lin Yutong stood atop a high peak, gazing solemnly at a cluster of Thunder Cloud high in the sky.
Master Ice Silkworm is currently attempting to break through to the Nascent Master Ice Silkworm Nascent Soul Realm. He has been in seclusion for over forty years, and it has been over sixty years since he returned from the Southern Border Cultivation World.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, streaks of silver lightning slashed down, turning the world into a sea of thunder.
A short while later, the Thunder Cloud churned and surged, producing arcs of light, red, and blue electricity.
"Three-Colored Divine Lightning!"
Han Yuwei's expression hardened.
The Three-Colored Lightning Cloud churned and surged, and a thick tricolored lightning bolt tore through the void, like a Three-Colored Lightning Spear, plunging into the lightning with overwhelming force. The lightning became even more dazzling, and the air waves rolled.
Before the lightning had even dissipated, a second bolt of Three-Colored Divine Lightning struck, engulfing the Ice Silkworm Valley.
When the third bolt of Three-Colored Divine Lightning struck, the Three-Colored Lightning Cloud churned violently, revealing a thick Three-Colored Lightning Python, its body covered with tri-colored arcs of electricity.
The Three-Colored Lightning Python swooped down from the sky, heading straight for Ice Silkworm Valley.
A White Giant Palm, several meters in size, flew out from the lightning and struck the Three-Colored Lightning Python Three-Colored Lightning Python twisted and exploded, turning into a huge ball of three-colored lightning that engulfed Ice Silkworm Valley, filling the air with smoke and dust.
"Four bolts of Three-Colored Divine Lightning!"
Han Yuwei exclaimed in surprise, "This is quite good. Most Core Formation Cultivator can only attract a few Two-Colored Divine Lightning when they break through to the Nascent Soul Realm."
A powerful spiritual pressure surged into the sky, followed by a man's maniacal laughter.
A white Escape Light flew out from the smoke and dust, and landed in front of Han Yuwei and Lin Yutong in a flash. It was none other than the Master Ice Silkworm.
He successfully survived the Lightning Tribulation and advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Congratulations, Father, on advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm."
Lin Yutong offered her congratulations.
"Husband, why did it take you so long to overcome your Inner Demon Tribulation? It scared me to death."
Han Yuwei asked, puzzled.
"The Inner Demon Tribulation was quite difficult; I almost couldn't escape the illusion, but thankfully I made it through."
Master Ice Silkworm's face showed lingering fear. He remembered something and said, "By the way, has Shen Long returned?"
"Not yet, his Life Soul Lamp shows no abnormalities."
Han Yuwei told the truth.
"He hasn't come back yet? Has he run into some trouble?"
Master Ice Silkworm frowned and said.
He had returned from the Southern Border Cultivation World for over sixty years. Thanks to the High-Grade Medicinal Pill given to him by Shen Long, he recovered so quickly. Even so, Master Ice Silkworm still spent decades honing his Law Power and adjusting his condition to its best before attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, which he successfully Nascent Soul Realm.
Without the High-Grade Medicinal Pill Shen Long gave him, he would probably still be recuperating.
"I don't know. We don't have many people in the Southern Border Cultivation World. How about this? You consolidate your cultivation first. Later, we'll go to the Southern Border Cultivation World to find him, and then head to the North Sea Cultivation World."
Han Yuwei suggested.
She also admired Shen Long Shen Long and didn't want anything to happen to him.
Master Ice Silkworm nodded and agreed.
······
The Southern Border Cultivation World, the Ten Thousand Poison Valley.
A vast, boundless grassland stretched out before a dazzling silver bolt of lightning flashed brightly in the sky, standing out starkly.
A gust of wind blew by, and Shen Long appeared, with a pair of Golden Feather Wings several meters long on his back.
He refined the Purple Spider Blade and stayed in that cave for thirty years, devoting himself to cultivation. He successfully cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage and planned to leave the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. On his way, he encountered Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast.
Shen Long Body Integration with the Golden-Winged Wind Peng and used the Wind Evasion Technique to escape.
A loud roar rang out, echoing for miles around.
Shen Long's expression changed, and with a powerful flap of his Golden Feather Wings, he vanished from his spot.
Half a day later, Shen Long appeared in a desolate valley, with the Magnetic Essence Bead floating above his head and a Golden Light Screen covering his entire body.
There is Gravity Restriction here; Shen Long cultivated here for thirty years.
The Ten Thousand Poison Valley contains many Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast, as well as numerous restrictions. He cannot guarantee that he can escape from Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast every time.
After much deliberation, Shen Long decided to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm here. If he could advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, he would be able to escape unscathed if he encountered Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast again.
The Spirit Infant Fruit is ripe. In addition, he also has the lotus seeds of the Supreme Profound Jade Lotus and the Soul-Calming Incense, which he can use to try to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Of course, Shen Long needs to spend time honing his Law Power; it doesn't mean he should immediately consume spiritual items to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Shen Long entered the cave, took out the Formation Flag Formation Disk, and set up the Mystic Turtle Array.
A large amount of Yellow Mist surged out of the valley, engulfing the entire valley.
Inside the cave, Shen Long sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, his body enveloped in a Red Rosy Clouds.
