Making a Deal with True Monarch Seven Stars (That's All for Today)

"Destroy the corpse of Devil Race cultivator? How do I know if you're telling the truth? Perhaps you're using me to break the seal! Or maybe you're luring me there to kill me."

Shen Long questioned.

"I'm glad you think that way. You don't have to destroy his body, just take a look. As long as the restrictions haven't been broken, there's no problem."

The Humanoid Statue spoke.

"I am not your disciple or student, so there's no need for me to help you! I can ask for your help, but you should at least offer me something in return."

Shen Long made a request.

"I am just a fragment of a soul, and I don't have any good things with me. You can go to Heavenly Medicine Peak to pick spirit medicine. Before I left, I left behind a few Spirit Herb Garden, which I originally intended to leave to my descendants. You're lucky to have gotten them."

The Humanoid Statue spoke.

"Descendants? Since the senior has descendants, why not let them come and check?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"My descendants are not in the Gan Yang Realm, but in the Green Plum Realm. I was born in the Green Plum Realm, and after ascending to the Lingxu Realm, I joined the Big Dipper Pavilion."

The Humanoid Statue explained.

"I passed by Heavenly Medicine Peak, and most of the spirit medicine herbs had withered and died. Since you come from the Spirit Realm, senior, you must have mastered many secret techniques! You could teach me a few."

Shen Long said seriously.

"Our Big Dipper Pavilion's secret techniques will not be taught to outsiders. Anyone who tries to learn our Big Dipper Pavilion's secret techniques will be killed without mercy."

The Humanoid Statue spoke in a cold tone, then changed its tone and said, "Alright then! I obtained a Cultivation Method in a dangerous place many years ago, but I can only teach you the first three levels."

"What kind of Cultivation Method?!"

Shen Long asked.

"The Heavenly Demon True Scripture! How about it?"

The Humanoid Statue asked with a kind expression.

"The Heavenly Demon True Scripture? Alright! Senior, tell me the cultivation methods for the first three levels, and I'll get to it immediately."

Shen Long said.

"Listen carefully, the cultivation method for the First Floor is..."

The Humanoid Statue told the story truthfully.

"What! You need to have the cultivation level of the Spirit Transmutation Realm to cultivate? Senior, aren't you lying?"

Shen Long frowned and said.

"You didn't ask about the cultivation conditions clearly earlier, and now you want to back out? Do you really think I'm made of clay? Believe me or not, I'll wipe you out right now! Are you going or not?"

The Humanoid Statue's voice turned cold.

The True Monarch Seven Stars, who was just moments ago all smiles and pleasantries, instantly turned hostile.

Shen Long was unaware of the True Monarch Seven Stars's Divine Ability and refused outright. If the True Monarch Seven Stars were to use poison, Shen Long might not be a match for him.

Taking a step back opens up a whole new world; when you are weaker than others, you can only bow your head.

"Alright! I'll go make the trip."

Shen Long agreed.

"That's more like it. When you get there, use the Shadow-Returning Crystal to record what's happening there, and bring it back for me to review. I'll give you an extra reward. You don't have to come back, just don't regret it later."

The True Monarch Seven Stars said meaningfully.

"Okay, I'll definitely come back. I'll be going now."

Shen Long agreed and returned the way he came.

As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada began to chirp merrily, its body radiating golden light.

"Barbarian Race monk! Zhuo Shan!"

Shen Long's expression turned cold.

He released the Tree Man and the Iron Tail Scorpion. The Iron Tail Scorpion emitted a bright yellow light and burrowed into the ground, while the Tree Man emitted a bright blue light and disappeared from the spot.

Nearly two hundred miles away, in a narrow valley filled with grayish-white pebbles, Zhuo Shan and his three companions stood beside a boulder. On the ground lay two giant centipedes, their heads riddled with bloody holes, lifeless.

"There are quite a few fourth-tier demonic insects here; I almost got ambushed by them."

A man in black frowned and said.

"Alright, let's continue on our way!"

Zhuo Shan said.

Just then, a deafening clap of thunder rang out, and a thick Silver Thunder Pillar ripped through the sky, striking towards Zhuo Shan and his companions.

"Oh no, enemy attack! Be careful!"

Zhuo Shan's expression changed, and he gave a reminder.

Just as they were about to dodge, a powerful gravitational force was generated on the ground.

Zhuo Shan was in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, so he was not greatly affected. The other three Barbarian Race cultivators were bound to the ground and could not escape.

A blinding black light shone from Zhuo Shan's chest, and a huge Black Crow Phantom appeared. The Black Crow Phantom cawed and spewed out a Black Sound Wave, shattering the falling Silver Thunder Pillar.

Hundreds of Giant Ice Blade shot towards them, arriving in an instant.

The Black Crow Phantom opened its beak and spewed out a large cloud of Black Flame as it charged forward.

The Giant Ice Blade vanished instantly upon touching the Black Flame.

One of the Giant Ice Blade shone with a blinding white light, and the Ice Flood Dragon appeared. It opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a thick white beam of light, heading straight for Zhuo Shan and his companions.

Zhuo Shan's expression turned cold. He opened his mouth and spat out a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Saber that shimmered with yellow light, slashing towards the Ice Flood Dragon.

A gust of wind blew by, Shen Long appeared, with a pair of huge Golden Feather Wings on his back.

He wielded the Dragon-Slaying Saber, slashing it to meet the oncoming giant yellow blade.

With a clang, the sound of metal clashing rang out, the giant yellow sword flew backward, and three Barbarian Race cultivators were struck by the white light, their bodies instantly freezing into huge ice sculptures.

The Ice Flood Dragon's tail swept out suddenly, smashing the three huge ice sculptures to pieces. The three Barbarian Race cultivators were reduced to a pile of minced meat, and the three Nascent Soul flew out of their bodies. Two of the Nascent Soul rapidly expanded, indicating that they were about to self-destruct.

Just then, a sharp, piercing screech rang out, and the two Nascent Soul returned to normal.

A beam of azure light descended from the sky, enveloping the three Nascent Soul and taking them into Cyan Jade Bottle.

Zhuo Shan's body shone with a bright yellow light as it soared through the air, avoiding the white glow.

Iron Tail Scorpion is only at the early stage of the fourth rank, so Gravity Divine Ability has little effect on Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators.

"Shen Long! You actually possess a fourth-tier Flood Dragon!"

Zhuo Shan exclaimed in surprise.

Shen Long did not answer. With a flick of his sleeve, a large patch of shimmering yellow sand shot out, condensing in mid-air into a gigantic Yellow Sand Flood Dragon, with the Ganjin Needle hidden within.

He unleashed the Purple Spider Blade, which transformed into a Purple Rainbow and slashed towards Zhuo Shan.

The Yellow Sand Flood Dragon shook its head and wagged its tail, lunging towards Zhuo Shan.

With a gentle flap of his golden wings, Shen Long unleashed Cyan Tornado over a hundred feet high, hurtling straight toward Zhuo Shan.

At the same time, a large number of white snowflakes fell from the sky, accompanied by gusts of cold wind. Before these white snowflakes even hit the ground, they transformed into White Ice Blade, each over ten feet long, slashing towards Zhuo Shan.

Zhuo Shan swung his massive yellow sword, unleashing a series of sharp Yellow Saber Light that swept out to meet the attack.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Dry Sun Seal flew out of his hand, instantly expanding in size before crashing down upon the Ice Flood Dragon.

"The Dry Sun Seal, how did this treasure end up in your hands? Did you kill Fellow Daoist Qin?"

Shen Long was somewhat surprised.

The Ice Flood Dragon naturally wouldn't take the attack head-on. It opened its massive maw and spewed out a white sonic wave to meet the attack.

The white sound wave collided with the Dry Sun Seal and instantly dissipated, freezing the Dry Sun Seal. However, it quickly emitted a dazzling golden light, and the ice Dry Sun Seal melted away completely.

Dense Yellow Saber Light struck the Yellow Sand Flood Dragon Yellow Sand Flood Dragon, causing its body to explode and transform into a large patch of shimmering sand. These sand grains suddenly solidified, turning into Yellow Sand Arrow that hurtled straight towards Zhuo Shan.

Just as Zhuo Shan was about to cast a spell to defend himself, a sharp, piercing screech rang out, causing him to frown and feel slightly uncomfortable.

A barrage of Yellow Sand Arrow struck his Body-Protecting Spirit Light one after another, producing a muffled thud. One of the Yellow Sand Arrow disintegrated, revealing Ganjin Needle. The Ganjin Needle pierced through Zhuo Shan's Body-Protecting Spirit Light, entered his left eye, and flew out from the back of his head.

The corpse emitted a blinding yellow light, revealing a shimmering, round bead— the Life-Substitution Bead.

With a "crack," the bead shattered.

Shen Long inwardly cried out in alarm. The Ice Flood Dragon's body emitted a bright white light, transforming into a huge block of ice— Ice Evasion Technique.

A gust of wind swept behind him, Zhuo Shan appeared, with a pair of huge Black Feather Wings on his back. The Black Feather Wings were ethereal.

Zhuo Shan swung his sword, and Shen Long Dragon-Slaying Saber to meet him.

With a muffled thud, Shen Long felt his body sink and plummet towards the ground.

Before he even landed, Zhuo Shan raised his right hand, and a round bead shimmering with blue light flew out, heading straight for Shen Long.

Shen Long realized something was wrong, but before he could dodge, the Cyan Round Bead exploded, turning into a huge ball of Cyan Thunder Light that engulfed an area of hundreds of feet, billowing with smoke and dust.

With a flash of golden light, the Dry Sun Seal above the Cyan Thunder Light and crashed down.

A dragon's roar that resounded through the heavens and earth rang out, and the Dry Sun Seal was sent flying backward. The lightning dissipated, revealing a huge Crimson Flood Dragon, completely unharmed.

With the defensive Spirit Treasure, the Ink Skull Shield, in hand, Shen Long was unharmed and immediately transformed into his Flood Dragon form.

The Golden-Winged Wind Peng circled once in the sky, transforming into a Cyan Tornado hundreds of feet high, which swept straight towards Zhuo Shan.

The Crimson Flood Dragon opened its mouth and spewed out a large patch of Crimson Flame, while the Ice Flood Dragon spewed out a burst of White Cold Qi. The Purple Spider Blade, Yellow Sand Arrow, and Dragon-Slaying Saber swept in, attacking Zhuo Shan.

At this moment, the benefits of having a strong Divine Sense became apparent.

That's not all; Shen Long also released the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove.

He dared not be careless when facing Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator.

"So many fourth-tier Spirit Beast Spirit Bird, and even Nine-Headed Ghost Dove?"

Zhuo Shan exclaimed in surprise, his face turning very pale.
