Nascent Soul Middle Stage
Spring has passed and autumn has come; ten years have gone by.
The door to the Cultivation Room opened, Shen Long walked out, his aura much stronger than before; he had advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
Shen Long has been at the Nascent Soul stage for over a hundred years, which is considered a fast cultivation speed. Without the feedback from his Life-Bound Spirit Bird and the Fourth-Order Pill that enhance his Law Power, he wouldn't have advanced to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage so quickly.
The door to another Cultivation Room opened, and Shen Hai walked out, his aura much stronger.
Three years ago, he survived the Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation and officially entered the Golden Core Realm, while the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada also survived the Four-Nine Lightning Tribulation and entered the fourth rank.
The Ice Flood Dragon, the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove, and the Tree Man are still in the late stage of the third Third Rank. The Tree Man has devoured Crystal Core of a fourth-tier Tree Demon, but it is still in the late stage of the Third Rank. If it wants to advance to the fourth tier, it needs to devour more fourth-tier Wood Demon Crystal Core.
"Judging by the time, the restrictions on the Immortal Burial Mound should be entering a period of weakness soon."
Shen Long muttered to himself.
He and True Monarch Golden Crow and others ventured deep into the heart of the Barbarian Race territory, killing several Nascent Soul Realm Barbarian Race cultivators, one of whom came from the Sky Wolf Tribe.
Shen Long searched the Nascent Soul and learned that the Barbarian Race cultivators of the Sky Wolf Tribe were searching for the Magnetic Essence Bead obtained by the Yu Clan. They were going to search for treasure somewhere in the Immortal Burial Mound, where something very important was said to be.
"Early stage of Core Formation, cultivation level is a bit lacking."
Shen Long said to Shen Hai.
Given his cultivation speed, it's normal that Shen Hai couldn't keep up.
Shen Long strode out, Shen Hai followed.
He sat down in a stone pavilion, and Shen Hai took out tea utensils and tea leaves to brew tea.
Shen Long summoned Lin Sen and inquired about the situation of the Spirit Control Sect.
"Uncle-Master Shen, our Spirit Control Sect has become the number one sect in the Qin Kingdom. Among the nine surrounding kingdoms, in terms of the number of Nascent Soul Cultivator, our Spirit Control Sect currently has the most."
Lin Sen looked proud.
After a great battle, many Human Race in the East Hua Cultivation World suffered heavy losses and have yet to recover. In contrast, the Spirit Control Sect Spirit Control Sect thriving, recruiting many disciples and cooperating with forces in several neighboring countries to exchange resources.
"Has Master left the General Headquarters?"
Shen Long continued to ask.
"Three years ago, Senior Uncle Lin left the General Headquarters, but General Headquarters Senior Sister Lin stayed. She specifically asked me to say goodbye."
Lin Sen told the truth.
"Where are Senior Brother Han and Senior Sister Li?!"
Shen Long asked.
"They are all in seclusion. I've given the order that unless it's something serious, don't disturb their cultivation."
Lin Sen said.
Currently, all the major forces in the East Hua Cultivation World are recuperating and there is nothing major happening, so the higher-ups of the Spirit Control Sect can focus on their cultivation.
"I asked you to collect maps of the Immortal Burial Mound! Any leads?"
Shen Long continued to ask.
"This matter is under Senior Brother Qian's jurisdiction. There's some progress. I'll contact Senior Brother Qian immediately."
Lin Sen took out his Communication Disk, contacted Qian Dafu, and asked for a map of the Immortal Burial Mound.
"I've collected some maps. I'll go report to Uncle-Master Shen immediately. Oh, and Junior Sister Liu is here with me too. She has important information to report to Uncle-Master Shen."
Qian Dafu said.
"Come here and report!"
Shen Long gave the order.
"Yes, Uncle-Master Shen."
Qian Dafu agreed.
Shen Long picked up his teacup, took a sip, and started chatting with Lin Sen.
The Spirit Control Sect has absorbed many small Lineage, increasing its number of disciples by nearly half. Influenced by Shen Long, many Spirit Control Sect disciples have chosen Spirit Insect as their Life Spirit Insect.
Few people know that Shen Long's Life-Bound Spirit Bird is the Golden-Winged Wind Peng; everyone thinks that the Iron Tail Scorpion is his Life Spirit Insect.
Many disciples of the Spirit Control Sect want to cultivate Mutated Spirit Insect, and they have spent a lot of resources on this. Chen Xiao encouraged them and introduced some policies, but so far no high-level cultivators have been able to cultivate Mutated Spirit Insect.
The Spirit Control Sect has Five-Colored Jade Ganoderma Tree, but it will take several decades for the fruit to ripen.
Chen Xiao increased the training efforts for Alchemist, hoping to cultivate more Alchemist skills.
Alchemist became the most sought-after profession within the Spirit Control Sect, bar none. Many disciples took Shen Long as their role model, choosing Spirit Insect as their Life Spirit Insect and also learning the art of alchemy.
"Now, it's not just our Spirit Control Sect; I've heard that other sects and Lineage have also increased their efforts in training Spirit Controller. Uncle-Master Shen has become a role model for many cultivators."
Lin Sen looked proud.
Shen Long held a high position in the Spirit Control Sect, and Lin Sen's status rose accordingly. The Core Formation Cultivator of the Spirit Control Sect treated Lin Sen with great courtesy.
Shen Long nodded, and soon after, Qian Dafu and Liu Yuruo arrived.
"Uncle-Master Shen, this is a map of the Immortal Burial Mound that I collected. It only shows a portion of the area and is not comprehensive. No one has ever fully explored the Immortal Burial Mound."
Qian Dafu took out a huge animal hide, which was made up of many hides sewn together, with writing in many places, the handwriting of which was different.
Qian Dafu pointed to the map and explained that some maps had changed hands many times, and it was unclear what restrictions were placed on the locations marked with text. Some maps were kept by cultivation Lineage and passed down through generations.
"You've done very well. Here, take this Law Treasure. Cultivation is fundamental; don't just focus on earning Spirit Stone."
Shen Long took out a Short Halberd and handed it to Qian Dafu.
"This disciple is self-aware; I'd be lucky to live a few hundred years in peace, let alone reach the Nascent Soul."
Qian Dafu said earnestly.
He was self-aware; he was already incredibly lucky to have achieved the Core Formation stage, and he didn't have any grand ambitions.
Failure to break through to the Nascent Soul means death and the annihilation of one's cultivation.
Shen Long nodded and said, "I heard that your descendant is already in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Bring him to meet me another day."
"Yes, thank you, Uncle-Master Shen."
Qian Dafu repeatedly expressed his gratitude, his expression one of deep emotion.
"Junior Nephew Liu, what crucial intelligence do you possess?"
Shen Long looked at Liu Yuruo.
"The Hundred Ghosts Sect has been searching for a map of the Immortal Burial Mound in recent years, possibly in an attempt to enter the Immortal Burial Mound to search for treasure."
Liu Yuruo said.
"Are they also looking for a map of the Immortal Burial Mound of Immortals?"
Shen Long frowned. Could the Hundred Ghosts Sect cultivators have the same goal as him?
"Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Heaven Ghost Sect is still at the Hundred Ghosts Sect?"
Shen Long asked.
"They're still there. According to my observation, some of the elites of the Hundred Ghosts Sect have gone to the North Sea Cultivation World. The Heaven Ghost Sect has provided them with an island. It's estimated that the higher-ups of the Hundred Ghosts Sect Heaven Ghost Sect, or it might be to guard against our Spirit Control Sect. Not only the Hundred Ghosts Sect, but also the Demonic Path sects in neighboring countries have sent some of their elites to other places to prevent our Spirit Control Sect from annexing them."
Liu Yuruo spoke slowly.
Shen Long nodded, took out a Cyan Porcelain Bottle, handed it to Liu Yuruo, and said, "This bottle of Beast Rearing Pill is for you."
"Thank you, Uncle-Master Shen."
Liu Yuruo thanked her and accepted the porcelain bottle.
Shen Long gave them a few instructions and then dismissed them.
Su Changfeng walked in, looking excited, as if he had some good news.
"Disciple greets Master."
Su Changfeng bowed respectfully. He was currently in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and had not yet been able to refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill.
"Changfeng, you can refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill now?"
Shen Long asked.
Su Changfeng gave a wry smile and said, "This disciple is not yet able to refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill, but I have obtained a Amethyst Flying Scorpion Insect Eggs. It has been stored for too long and cannot hatch, so I would like to offer it to Master."
He took out a purple jade box and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long opened the jade box and saw a purple Insect Eggs, its vitality very weak.
"Cultivation is fundamental. Spend more time cultivating and strive to refine High-Grade Medicinal Pill as soon as possible."
Shen Long said earnestly.
Su Changfeng repeatedly agreed, his expression respectful.
Shen Long inquired about Su Changfeng's cultivation progress, Su Changfeng answered truthfully.
"Alright, go back and cultivate! I hope you achieve Core Formation soon."
Shen Long instructed Su Changfeng to leave.
He entered a Cultivation Room and then went into the Ten Thousand Beast Tower.
He placed the Insect Eggs in the Spirit Control Pool, came to a Giant Scorpion Giant Scorpion, placed his hands on the pattern, and infused it with his Law Power.
