Spirit Control Sect Flourishes
Qin Kingdom, Spirit Control Sect.
In a Quiet Manor, Yuan Rui, Li Rongrong, and the True Man Red Flood Dragon sat around Zhang Qing stone table, sipping tea and chatting.
A tremendous spiritual pressure emanated from the True Man Red Flood Dragon; he had advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm half a year ago.
With the Soul-Calming Incense refined by Shen Long, the True Man Red Flood Dragon's journey through the Inner Demon Tribulation was relatively easier.
"Our Spirit Control Sect has gained another Nascent Soul Cultivator, that's wonderful! If things get critical at the front, Senior Brother Yuan and I can lead a team to provide support."
Li Rongrong was overjoyed.
If the situation at the front lines becomes critical, the Spirit Control Sect will definitely need to send reinforcements.
"Junior Brother Shen, Junior Sister Du, and Junior Brother Lin are quite strong and shouldn't need our reinforcements. On the contrary, the Mystic Yang Sect, Purple Firmament Gate, Tyrant Blade Villa, and Seven Rosy Clouds Sect have suffered heavy losses."
Yuan Rui said in a deep voice.
"Speaking of which, Junior Brother Shen is truly a lucky star for our Spirit Control Sect. Without Junior Brother Shen, Senior Sister Li and I wouldn't have advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm so easily. We might have perished at the Inner Demon Tribulation. Senior Sister Du was injured by a powerful enemy, and it was Junior Brother Shen who came to her aid, saving her from certain death."
"The True Man Red Flood Dragon praised it," he said.
Yuan Rui nodded and said, "Yes, Junior Brother Shen..."
Before he could finish speaking, he looked up at the sky and said, "Junior Brother Shen and Junior Sister Du are back."
As soon as he finished speaking, a Red Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, and then flashed into the sky above the manor.
The Escape Light, revealing a flying boat shimmering with red light, upon which Shen Long and Du Yinyin stood.
They rushed back to the Spirit Control Sect as quickly as possible, and the accompanying disciples returned to their respective residences.
Du Yinyin made a hand seal, and the Red Flying Boat landed.
"Junior Sister Du, Junior Brother Shen, why are only you two back? Where is Junior Brother Lin?!"
Yuan Rui asked.
"Junior Brother Lin is still in Barbarian-Resisting City, in charge of taking over the territory."
Du Yinyin explained.
"Taking over territory? What's going on?"
Yuan Rui was slightly taken aback, completely bewildered.
Du Yinyin briefly explained what had happened; Yuan Rui and the others were still unaware that the battle was over.
"Junior Brother Shen was rewarded separately? Our Spirit Control Sect gained a large piece of land and a small Golden Jade Stone mine?"
Yuan Rui was overjoyed.
"Senior Brother Han, congratulations on advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm. This Law Treasure is a small token of my appreciation."
Shen Long took out a Cyan Giant Axe and handed it to the True Man Red Flood Dragon.
"Thank you very much, Junior Brother Shen."
The True Man Red Flood Dragon thanked him and accepted the Cyan Giant Axe.
"There's no need to hold a celebration in the name of my birthday. We'll hold Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony for Junior Brother Han and invite other fellow Daoists to participate. Junior Sister Li, I'll leave this matter to you. Send someone to deliver the Invitation. After this celebration, the Qin Kingdom will be under the control of our Spirit Control Sect."
Yuan Rui said.
He had never held a birthday celebration before, so it was a bit strange to suddenly do so. Holding Nascent Soul Formation Ceremony for True Man Red Flood Dragon would be perfectly legitimate and would also demonstrate the strength of the Spirit Control Sect, achieving multiple benefits at once.
"I agree with Senior Brother Yuan's opinion."
Shen Long had no objections.
Du Yinyin had no objections; this was even better.
"Junior Sister Du, Junior Brother Shen, you've worked so hard these past years. Please get some rest! Leave the rest to us."
Yuan Rui said.
Du Yinyin and Shen Long have been on the front lines for over twenty years, killing many Nascent Soul Realm Barbarian Race cultivators, and have made great contributions.
Du Yinyin and Shen Long agreed, chatted for a while, and then said goodbye and left.
Shen Long returned to Golden Roc Peak, where Lin Sen walked towards him.
"Disciple greets Uncle-Master Shen."
Lin Sen bowed respectfully.
"Oh, you've advanced to the Golden Core Realm! Not bad. Here, take this Law Treasure to congratulate you on your Golden Core Realm."
Shen Long took out a throwing Flying Dagger that gleamed with a blue light and handed it to Lin Sen.
"Thank you, Uncle-Master Shen."
Lin Sen thanked him and accepted the Cyan Flying Knife with both hands.
Lin Shan has passed away, and Lin Shan Lin Sen has taken over his position to help Shen Long manage Golden Roc Garden.
Shen Long gave Lin Sen a few instructions and then dismissed him.
He entered a Cultivation Room, sat cross-legged, and took out an exquisite golden jade box containing twelve Golden Soul Pill.
Shen Long picked up a Golden Soul Pill and put it in his mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and Shen Long quickly circulated his internal energy to refine its medicinal power.
Only with a powerful enough divine soul can one attempt to break through to the Spirit Transmutation Realm.
Nascent Soul Realm stage, there are four cultivation paths: physical body, Divine Sense, Law Power, and divine soul. All four must be strong enough to break through to the Spirit Transmutation Realm; none can be lacking.
Wearing the Spirit-Nourishing Pendant, Shen Long's Divine Sense was slowly growing. As for his physical body, he could transform into Flood Dragon using the <Nine Transformations Dragon Transformation Technique>, so his physical body was not weak. What he needed to focus on was his Law Power and divine soul. Law Power Law Power was relatively easy to manage; he could spend more time refining Law Power to make it more profound. However, his divine soul was more difficult to deal with, so he had to rely on external aids.
······
The Zhao Kingdom, the Hundred Ghosts Sect.
In a Quiet Manor, a portly Yellow-Robed Elder sat around Zhang Qing stone table, Xu Li was reporting to him.
"Uncle-Master Yin, the battle is over, but we have lost most of our experts. Uncle-Master Su was killed, Aunt Liu was severely injured, and most of our Core Formation Cultivator have perished."
Xu Li's face was filled with grief.
After this battle, the Hundred Ghosts Sect suffered heavy losses. Currently, the Hundred Ghosts Sect only has two Nascent Soul Cultivator, and Liu Mei is seriously injured.
"What were the losses of the Yin Corpse Gate, the Blood Skull Sect, and the Heavenly Fiend Sect?"
The Yellow-Robed Elder asked.
Yin Shan, Nascent Soul Early Stage.
"Their losses were also considerable, especially for the Blood Skull Sect, where two Nascent Soul Cultivator perished one after another. The troublesome thing is that the Spirit Control Sect did not lose a single Nascent Soul Cultivator. Shen Long performed exceptionally well, and Senior Mo Wuya Shen Long him with a Spirit Treasure. The Spirit Control Sect also received a large piece of territory."
Xu Li said.
Shen Long's strength is extraordinary; if Shen Long were to take action against them, they would be no match for him.
"Did other Nascent Soul Cultivator also obtain Spirit Treasure?"
Yin Shan pressed for an answer.
"No, even Senior Han and Senior Su killed Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators but didn't obtain Spirit Treasure. They want to set Shen Long and the Spirit Control Sect as role models."
Xu Li said.
"A role model! No wonder, it's too difficult to kill Barbarian Race cultivator in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, while killing Barbarian Race cultivator in the Nascent Soul Early Stage is relatively easier, and the majority of Nascent Soul Cultivator feel more in awe of him."
Yin Shan analyzed, then turned his gaze and instructed, "Go to the main Marketplace personally, use the Wind-Listening Token to make a deal with the Listen Wind Pavilion, and ask them to help spread the news that Shen Long is a reincarnation of a great cultivator, or that he has obtained the inheritance of a great cultivator and possesses treasures or elixirs that can cultivate Mutated Spirit Insect. In short, praise Shen Long as much as possible."
Praise to death!
He wanted to elevate Shen Long to an even higher position and use the power of other forces to deal with Shen Long.
"Ask Listen Wind Pavilion to help spread the news? That won't be cheap."
Xu Li frowned and said.
"There's a reason why things are so expensive. The wider the news spreads, the better. I want others to know how great Shen Long's fortuitous opportunity are and how powerful his Divine Ability are. The higher we elevate him, the harder he'll fall later."
Yin Shan gave the instructions.
"Uncle-Master Yin is wise! This disciple will go and do it immediately."
Xu Li agreed and left.
