Slaying Another Fourth-Order Demon Bird

In just a few decades, he advanced from the Core Formation Mid Stage Nascent Soul Realm; that's indeed a very fast cultivation speed.

"Shen was previously stuck at a bottleneck, so he traveled around the Southern Border Cultivation World. After much difficulty, he broke through the bottleneck, Secluded Cultivation for decades, and advanced to the Great Perfection Nascent Soul Realm by sheer luck."

Shen Long explained.

Xu Tong suddenly realized and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Shen is too modest. Being able to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm Nascent Soul Realm is definitely not something that can be achieved by luck. I heard that Fellow Daoist Shen is proficient in insect control and beast taming techniques. I have a Spirit Bird that I can't hatch for a long time. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Shen has any solutions?"

"Spirit Bird? Madam Xu, could you please bring it out so I can take a look?"

Shen Long said.

Xu Tong nodded, took out a giant red egg, and handed it to Shen Long.

The surface of the giant red egg has some black lines, and it looks weak and lifeless.

"I obtained this Spirit Bird in the Mysterious Yin Grotto-Heaven. It has been corroded by Yin Qi for many years, and I have tried many methods, but none of them have been able to hatch it."

Xu Tong said slowly.

The Spirit Control Sect has a long history and is famous in the cultivation Immortal Realm for its ability to control insects and beasts. Shen Long might have a way to hatch this Spirit Bird.

"Our Spirit Control Sect possesses a Beast-Rearing Spirit Liquid. Soaking the animals in this Spiritual Liquid might allow them to hatch, but the materials used to refine this Spiritual Liquid are quite precious."

Shen Long looked troubled.

He wasn't lying; the Spirit Control Sect did indeed possess this Spiritual Liquid, it just depended on what price Xu Tong was willing to pay.

"If you can hatch this Spirit Bird, Fellow Daoist Shen, name your price."

Xu Tong said in a deep voice.

"I need the Essence Blood of a fourth-tier Flood Dragon, or even Wind-Attribute Fourth-Order Demon Core."

Shen Long said.

"Are you sure you can hatch this Spirit Bird?"

Xu Tong frowned and asked.

"How about this? Madam Xu, give me the Spirit Bird. Once it hatches, you can give me the other things, okay?"

Shen Long suggested.

"Okay, no problem."

Xu Tong readily agreed.

"Isn't Madam Xu afraid I'll ruin this Spirit Bird?"

Shen Long said with a half-smile.

"I've been trying to hatch it for years, and I've tried many methods. I've given up hope. It would be best if Fellow Daoist Shen could hatch it, but if not, so be it."

Xu Tong explained.

Shen Long nodded. It seemed that this Spirit Bird was extraordinary, otherwise Xu Tong wouldn't have spent such a high price.

"Alright, I'll go buy the materials to refine the Beast-Rearing Spirit Liquid first. After hatching the Spiritual Liquid, I'll immediately notify Madam Xu."

Shen Long said.

Xu Tong agreed, and after chatting for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shen Long took his leave.

After leaving the Five Poisons Marketplace, Shen Long flicked his sleeve, and the Sea-Crossing Boat flew out and landed in front of them.

Shen Long walked onto the Sea-Crossing Boat, made a hand seal, Sea-Crossing Boat flew into the sky.

Before long, the Sea-Crossing Boat disappeared into the horizon.

······

A secluded manor in the Heavenly Witch Mountain Range.

Wu Xian, Wu Yue, and a tall, golden-robed old man sat around Zhang Qing stone table, talking about something.

"Late Fourth Rank Blood-Transforming Butterfly!"

The old man in the golden robe had a solemn expression.

Bu Guang, Nascent Soul Late Stage.

"Yes! I heard from the Daoist Gu of the Barbarian Race that there are quite a few Fourth-Rank Spirit Beast inside the Immortal Burial Mound."

Wu Xian said solemnly.

Bu Guang nodded and said, "Has Wu Xiao not returned yet?"

"It should be about time! He has the help of a fourth-tier Black Wind Owl, and a map too, getting the Ten Thousand Poison Paste shouldn't be a problem."

Wu Xian analyzed.

"When he returns, we'll go to the East Hua Cultivation World together. Hopefully, that item will still be there."

Bu Guang said.

······

Golden Toad Mountain, Golden Toad Marketplace.

The streets were teeming with people and bustling with traffic.

Shen Long strolled along the wide, clean streets, looking around as he went.

He promised to help Xu Tong hatch the Spirit Bird, but it's impossible for him to do so immediately; even a fool would know there's something wrong.

He planned to visit several Marketplace to purchase a batch of cultivation resources, then hatch the Spirit Bird and go find Xu Tong. At that time, everything would fall into place naturally.

The Southern Border Cultivation World teeming with poisonous insects and beasts, and is rich in poisonous herbs and medicines.

After a short while, he appeared in a vast Bluestone Square with many stalls selling a wide variety of goods.

Shen Long walked around and bought some poisonous plants and drugs.

"Senior Shen?"

A woman's voice, filled with surprise and delight, rang out.

A fragrant breeze blew by, and Mu Weiwei appeared before Shen Long.

"Congratulations on advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm."

Mu Weiwei bowed gracefully and said politely.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere else!"

Shen Long said.

Mu Weiwei readily agreed and led the way.

They went to a Teahouse and asked for a private room.

After a few casual words, the waiter brought in a pot of Spirit Tea Spirit Tea, put it down, and then withdrew.

Mu Weiwei picked up the teapot, poured tea for Shen Long, and said respectfully, "Senior Shen, please have some tea."

"Don't be so reserved, sit down and let's talk!"

Shen Long said in a friendly tone.

Mu Weiwei dared not sit down; the hierarchy in the cultivation Immortal Realm was extremely strict.

"I'm collecting these materials, do you have any news?"

Shen Long took out a Cyan Jade Slip and handed it to Mu Weiwei.

Mu Weiwei scanned the area with her Divine Sense and said, "This junior knows the nest of a fourth-tier Cyan Light Eagle."

"Where are you? Where did you get this information from?"

Shen Long pressed for an answer.

"The Golden Scorpion Mountain Range are not far from here. I saw it from afar when it was exterminating other Demon Bird."

Mu Weiwei explained.

"Please keep an eye on these materials for me. If you have any news, you can give them to Junior Nephew Qian at the Spirit Control Sect, or give them to me. This is the deposit."

Shen Long took out a Blue Storage Bag and handed it to Mu Weiwei.

Mu Weiwei readily agreed and accepted the Blue Storage Bag with both hands.

"Take me to the Cyan Light Eagle! Let's take it down first."

Shen Long gave the order.

Qian Dafu is still in the Marketplace, responsible for purchasing resources for cultivating immortality.

Mu Weiwei responded and led the way herself.

After leaving the Marketplace, Shen Long summoned the Sea-Crossing Boat and boarded it, with Mu Weiwei following closely behind.

Shen Long made a hand seal, and the Sea-Crossing Boat emitted a dazzling blue light, flying into the sky.

Two days later, the Sea-Crossing Boat appeared above a vast, boundless Emerald Green Mountain Range, with abundant vegetation visible.

"Senior Shen, the Cyan Light Eagle is in that cave."

Mu Weiwei pointed into the distance and said.

Following her gaze, one can see a Giant Valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Shen Long patted a golden Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, and a cheerful cicada chirping sound rang out. The Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada flew out from it, having already advanced to the late stage of the Third Rank.

The eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada shone with a dazzling golden light as it looked ahead.

Shen Long separated a wisp of his divine sense and attached it to the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada. With the help of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada's eyes, he could clearly see a huge cave in the Giant Valley, and inside the cave was a giant blue eagle.

Shen Long opened his Divine Sense wide, and he was able to detect a powerful aura, confirming that there was a fourth-tier Cyan Light Eagle inside the cave.

Generally speaking, the range of a newly promoted Nascent Soul Cultivator's Divine Sense is 200 li. Shen Long's Divine Sense can currently only extend to 250 li. It should be noted that even Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator's Divine Sense can only extend to 300 li.

Shen Long nodded, made a hand seal, and the Sea-Crossing Boat landed on an open area.

"Wait here a moment, I'll go deal with this demon."

Shen Long instructed that the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada be put back into the Spirit Beast Bag.

Mu Weiwei agreed and came downstairs.

Shen Long made a hand seal, and the Sea-Crossing Boat flew into the sky.

Before long, the Sea-Crossing Boat came to a stop and landed outside the Giant Valley.

He released the Tree Man, Tree Man shone with a bright blue light and took root in the ground.

He summoned the Thunder-Guiding Bead and infused it with a spell. The Thunder-Guiding Bead immediately emitted a dazzling silver light, and a deafening thunderclap resounded from the sky. A Silver Thunder Pillar with a diameter of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) pierced the sky and struck the Giant Valley accurately.

With a deafening roar, a massive bolt of silver lightning shot into the sky, engulfing the entire valley and filling the air with smoke and dust.

A sharp, piercing bird cry rang out, and hundreds of Giant Wind Blade, each over ten feet long, flew out from the smoke and dust, heading straight for Shen Long.

Shen Long's body shone with a bright red light, and numerous Red Dragon Scales grew out.

He let out a deafening dragon roar, unleashing a Red Sound Wave that shattered the incoming Giant Wind Blade.

A Cyan Tornado over a hundred feet tall swept in and instantly reached Shen Long.

Shen Long threw a punch, which slammed into the Cyan Tornado.

With a deafening roar, the Cyan Tornado shattered into hundreds of Giant Wind Blade, which struck Shen Long one after another. The Giant Wind Blade struck the body with a muffled thud, as if hitting a wall of copper and iron.

At this moment, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing a giant azure eagle with a wingspan of ten zhang (approximately 33 meters). The eagle's feathers were bright, and beneath its belly were a pair of enormous azure claws that gleamed with a chilling light.

The Cyan Light Eagle at the early stage of the fourth tier.

Shen Long activated his magic technique, and Silver Thunder Pillar with a diameter of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) once again tore through the void, heading straight for the Cyan Light Eagle.

The Cyan Light Eagle opened its beak and let out a sharp, piercing bird cry, spewing out a Cyan Sound Wave that shattered the descending Silver Thunder Pillar.

A Purple Rainbow shot towards us at great speed.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Cyan Light Eagle vanished from its spot, Purple Rainbow missed its target, sweeping across a steep peak and cleaving it in two.

A gust of wind blew past Shen Long from behind, and the Cyan Light Eagle appeared.

A beam of blue light shone from the Cyan Jade Pendant on Shen Long's chest, and a thick Cyan Light Screen appeared, protecting his entire body.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Cyan Light Eagle unleashed hundreds of Cyan Wind Blade that struck the Cyan Light Screen one after another, producing a series of muffled "bang" sounds. The Cyan Light Screen's spiritual light dimmed slightly.

The Cyan Light Eagle emitted a beam of Cyan Sound Wave, which struck the azure Cyan Light Screen Cyan Light Screen, causing it to dent and the spiritual light to dim further.

Its two sharp claws landed on the Cyan Light Screen Cyan Light Screen, which shattered like bubbles, and the Cyan Light Eagle's claws went straight for Shen Long's head.

Shen Long reacted quickly, his hands transforming into Red Dragon Claw as he charged forward.

The Red Dragon Claw collided with the blue bird claws, producing a dull thud.

The Cyan Light Eagle was sent flying backwards, and before it even landed, thick Cyan Vine burst forth from the ground and entangled its Cyan Light Eagle.

The Cyan Light Eagle opened its mouth and spewed out a Cyan Sound Wave, which quickly swept past the Cyan Vine Cyan Vine, causing them to snap. Just then, a thick Silver Thunder Pillar ripped through the sky and struck the Cyan Light Eagle accurately, engulfing its body in silver Cyan Light Eagle.

A ball of fire lit up near the silver lightning, and a palm-sized Three-Colored Fire Bird appeared, radiating terrifying heat.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Three-Colored Fire Bird disappeared into the silver lightning, producing a deafening explosion. A ball of tricolor fire ignited, accompanied by rolling heat waves.

A large swarm of Yellow Sand Arrow, shimmering with golden light, shot towards the lightning, disappearing into the lightning with a muffled thud, as if the Yellow Sand Arrow had struck an impenetrable wall.

A Purple Rainbow shot out, cleaving the silver lightning in two. The Azure Light Cyan Light Eagle fell from mid-air, its head gone, its body charred, and many of its feathers fallen off.
