Chapter 731 - 350: All Sides Shaken, Shadowy Child’s Voice
"It’s not so much about taking advantage, just happy in the heart. Today, there’s enough Cyan Dragon Saliva for everyone to drink to their heart’s content. A cup is worth ten years of Divine Soul cultivation, usually even I can’t bear to part with it," Li Qingyan remarked with a chuckle.
Just as he was about to raise his cup for another drink, a dozen Startled Swans arrived in quick succession, swiftly heading towards Lake Heart Island.
"Hmm?"
Li Qingyan’s expression gradually grew displeased.
But before he could reprimand anyone, a small but thunderous voice exploded beside his ear, "Ancestor, something major has happened. Just now, news came from the Longteng Family that Longteng Liyi’s Life Soul Lamp suddenly went out, throwing the Longteng Family into chaos. Simultaneously, Longteng Wuxing, the Great Elder, was suddenly attacked by Longteng Qianyue, resulting in both of their deaths!"
"What!"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Li Qingyan and Lanshan Yue’s faces suddenly changed, and they both stood up, shouting angrily.
Li Qingyan roared, "Longteng Liyi has reached the Late Stage of Golden Core for three to four hundred years. Even Lin Yingyun Mountain can’t match him, how could he possibly lose to the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor, a mere Middle Stage of Golden Core Corpse Cultivator?"
"Where did you hear this nonsense? Say another word and I’ll tear your mouth off," Lanshan Yue spoke furiously.
Their angry outburst frightened the dozen individuals into silent submission, kneeling on the ground like cicadas in winter.
However.
Lanshan Yue and Li Qingyan exchanged a glance, their anger gradually replaced by fear in their eyes.
After swallowing hard, Lanshan Yue left without another word, transforming into a Startled Swan and fleeing swiftly, not daring to linger for a moment.
Li Qingyan did the same.
However, the direction Li Qingyan headed was the Longteng Family, a hostile territory he had never dared to set foot in before.
...
Meanwhile.
In the Lake Bottom Grotto Heaven, Lin Hai, who had retreated back to the mountain gate, saw that the horizon was devoid of any activity, his heart hanging in his throat. Red Fire Zhenren, who had awoken beside him, felt the same.
Pei Wuxing and a few other Golden Core Zhenrens were all uneasy, their minds flooded with various scenarios.
It seemed as if Longteng Liyi could appear at any moment.
Besides them, the Qi Guang Sect’s Main Lineage Cultivators also anxiously gazed towards the entrance of the Grotto Heaven.
Would the Qi Guang Sect survive or perish?
Would they live or die?
It would all be decided today!
"Master, do you think the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor can win?" a teenage Qi Cultivation Female Cultivator clutched the sleeve of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator tightly.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator looked around without answering, merely reminding, "Whatever happens later, stand behind Master. If the sky falls, Master will bear it first... With Master here..."
Hearing their conversation, the Qi Guang Sect’s Main Lineage Cultivators around them fell into a deep and sorrowful silence.
Just then, a Startled Swan swiftly flew over, and everyone’s heart began to pound like a great drum. Lin Hai, Red Fire Zhenren, and Pei Wuxing immediately drew their Magical Artifacts.
But in the next moment, all of their expressions froze. Upon seeing who it was, the rigidness in their eyes quickly transformed into a wave of delight, some even bursting into tears of joy.
Lin Hai, Red Fire Zhenren, and others were so thrilled that their hair stood on end. After putting away their Magical Artifacts, they hurried forward to bow.
"Corpse Ancestor!"
"Congratulations to Corpse Ancestor for the great victory over Longteng Liyi!"
While they were exclaiming, they discovered that the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor’s cultivation had reached the Late Stage of Golden Core as well.
Before they could say anything more, Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone and said, "Do what you need to do; don’t disturb this old man in the Spiritless Death Secret Realm Cave Heaven without reason. Half of the Longteng Family’s territory goes to the Lu Family, and half to you."
His words ended.
Wen Jiu controlled the East Spring Undying Bone and departed.
But even with the East Spring Undying Bone gone, Lin Hai, Red Fire Zhenren, Pei Wuxing, and the other Golden Core cultivators hadn’t returned to their senses.
What?
Half of the Longteng Family’s territory to them, and the other half to the Lu Family?
Does this mean...
"Could it be that the Corpse Ancestor has slain Longteng Liyi? That Thunder Sea..." Lin Hai’s heart was in turmoil.
Upon seeing the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor, he believed that the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor had definitely driven back Longteng Liyi.
Especially after discovering that the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor had reached the Late Stage of Golden Core, he was even more convinced of this thought.
But now it seems it wasn’t merely driving him back, but that the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor had killed Longteng Liyi.
Otherwise, why would there be a division of territory?
"This..."
Red Fire Zhenren was at a loss for words, shocked beyond speech.
When the Qi Guang Sect’s Main Lineage burst into cheers like an erupting mountain and sea, Red Fire Zhenren finally regained his composure. He then glanced at Pei Wuxing beside him, "Are you sure you don’t want to visit the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor?"
Pei Wuxing’s heart, which had been filled with despair, was now completely swayed.
Perhaps...
Someone as powerful as the Lu Family Corpse Ancestor could have a way!
...
Returning to the Spiritless Death Land Grotto Heaven, Wen Jiu refined Longteng Liyi’s body into Corpse Blood, storing it in the Corpse Eye, and began accelerating the refining of the Thousand-Li Soul-Sealing Extreme Resentful Corpse, striving for the fastest completion.
As for journeying into the dark, Wen Jiu temporarily abandoned the idea, because the day before, when the East Spring Undying Bone reached Tier Three Upper Realm, it was divined to still be an inauspicious omen, and the Life Plate provided little useful information.
As long as it’s ominous, Wen Jiu wanted nothing to do with it.
It’s worth mentioning that this time, although the East Spring Undying Bone reached Upper Realm, it may not have affected the True Spirit Root, but it directly elevated the original body’s Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core to Tier Three Middle Realm.
The increase was significant!
[Body Refining: Undying Celestial Yin Golden Body (Tier Three Middle Stage 0/150000)]
The Undying Celestial Yin Golden Body is the Spirit Body formed during the condensation of the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core, whose robustness absolutely surpasses that of the East Spring Undying Bone. Not only does it possess extremely strong spatial barrier endurance, allowing for more uses of the Escape Technique than the Tier Three Upper Realm East Spring Undying Bone, but it also has an undying self-healing ability.
