Chapter 327: The Last Remnant of the White Dragon Sect
Not long after, Yuehan came to the Saint Luo Palace carrying dozens of Treasure Fruits of the Martial Saint Realm.
To be honest, it's a bit painful, but Yuehan is willing.
The whole Saint Luo Empire was almost destroyed; if the capital fell, what use would these Treasure Fruits be?
So Yuehan simply brought the Treasure Fruits over as Shen Qing requested.
"All the Treasure Fruits are here."
Speaking, Yuehan pointed at a box and said, "I've heard you like Treasure Medicines with good flavor."
"This box contains Holy Light Petals, the finest Treasure Medicine of our Saint Luo Empire."
"I saw there are three petals left in the treasure vault, so I brought them all for you."
Speaking, Yuehan snapped his fingers; the small treasure box slowly opened, revealing three pale gold petals shimmering with soft holy light, a fresh fragrance wafting forth—just smelling it, Shen Qing could tell how wonderful it was.
Shen Qing's eyes lit up; this Yuehan really knows how to handle things.
Yuehan smiled and said, "Shen Qing, first refine the Treasure Fruits; I'll take care of the aftermath in the surrounding seas."
"I have consulted with the other council members and decided to designate today as New Day!"
"It is you, Shen Qing, who has brought rebirth to our Saint Luo Empire!"
"When you leave seclusion, I will have the whole Saint Luo Empire celebrate your achievement!"
Speaking, Yuehan laughed loudly and walked out of the room.
No wonder he can secure the position of the Saint Luo Empire's First Martial Saint.
This seat belongs to him.
Shen Qing had learned that although the Saint Luo Empire had fewer Martial Saint Realm Ninth Layer experts than the Great Wu, it still had a full five.
As for Yuehan's strength, he ranks only third among them, but the other four Martial Saint Realm Ninth Layer experts all submit to him.
Combining Yuehan's actions today, Shen Qing somewhat understood the saying that has long circulated in the martial world.
"The martial world is not about fighting and killing; the martial world is about human relations and worldly affairs."
However, Shen Qing didn't think further, but directly lowered his head to look at the dozens of treasure boxes before him.
Kai Xuan!
Shen Qing directly grabbed a Holy Light Petal and stuffed it into his mouth.
Upon swallowing, Shen Qing felt his whole body enveloped in holy light, as if he were in an ancient forest with little elves laughing around him.
Refreshing!
Shen Qing felt as if he were about to ascend.
No wonder it's the finest Treasure Medicine of the Saint Luo Empire.
A scorching heat wave rose from Shen Qing's body; even without actively circulating his qi, his qi sea already emitted a rumbling roar.
Nice fellow!
The medicinal effect isn't weak either.
Shen Qing haphazardly grabbed a few more Treasure Medicines and stuffed them into his mouth, closed his eyes, and circulated his cultivation method.
Within his qi sea, the Myriad Law Golden Core began to spin rapidly, seven-colored light flashing as it frenziedly absorbed the medicinal power to strengthen itself.
Anyone seeing this transformation efficiency would probably slap themselves, wondering if they were dreaming.
Only a loud boom was heard.
Shen Qing's cultivation broke through to the sixth layer of the Golden Core Realm.
Moreover, the Myriad Law Golden Core's spinning speed kept increasing, and his realm continued to rise.
In this process, Shen Qing also gained some new insights.
Behind him, his golden qi sea unfolded, and a black great sun hung in the sky.
Blood clouds swept across, thunder raged, as if doom had descended.
At the same time.
Great Wu, Youzhou.
Myriad Abundant Marsh.
This is the last stronghold of the White Dragon Sect.
Since Shen Qing rose, the White Dragon Sect has had no luck; now its final members have gathered here.
However, today the White Dragon Sect has reversed its decline, and all members are filled with excitement.
Only see myriad zhang of golden light pouring down upon Myriad Abundant Marsh, the whole marsh illuminated by golden light; ahead, a green mountain range slowly split open, and a calm-faced middle-aged man flew out, his aura extraordinarily vast.
All members knelt and shouted loudly, "Congratulations to the Sect Leader for mastering the Divine Skill! Unifying the world is imminent!"
"Congratulations to the Sect Leader for mastering the Divine Skill! Unifying the world is imminent!"
The White Dragon Saint's eyes were calm as he waved his hand, scattering a burst of brilliant light.
He returned from the Boundary Battlefield and then entered seclusion in Myriad Abundant Marsh to condense his Qi Sea Golden Body.
The Qi Sea Golden Body is a necessary step for a Martial Saint to break through to the Terrestrial Immortal Realm, condensing the inner Golden Core into a golden body, though this step is especially difficult.
Thus Shen Yin, Zhu Xuan, and others are still stuck at this step.
However, the White Dragon Saint, after receiving aid from an Evil Entity, actually stepped forward ahead of schedule.
However, condensing a complete Qi Sea Golden Body is not easy either; now the White Dragon Saint has only condensed one-third, and what's needed next is painstaking effort to gradually advance to the Terrestrial Immortal Realm.
However, the White Dragon Saint is a bit impatient.
His White Dragon Sect is originally a remnant of the previous dynasty, aiming to restore it; now the Great Wu has no Terrestrial Immortals left, and he has broken through to the Half-step Immortal Realm, so he can't bear to wait any longer!
Moreover, the Evil Entity told him they had already set up a backup plan, and the sea beasts would also act.
If not now, when then?
To be honest, the intelligence is plentiful, but it's all outdated.
As soon as the White Dragon Saint returned, he went into seclusion, so he had no idea what was going on in Great Wu; moreover, having broken through to the Half-step Earthly Immortal Realm, he became extremely confident. After leaving seclusion, he merely confirmed that no one who had broken through to the Half-step Earthly Immortal Realm had issued a call to arms, and then he gave the order to mobilize troops.
He didn't even have the slightest thought of learning about other situations.
The White Dragon Saint waved his hand, and his voice rang throughout Myriad Marsh: "Raise troops at once! Unify Dark Prefecture as quickly as possible! Our world ought to return to our embrace!"
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The White Dragon Sect followers in Myriad Marsh shouted angrily three times.
They had long been prepared; under the General's lead, they immediately rushed out of Myriad Marsh to kill.
Yet two people did not move; they were the first two of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang, Tian Kui Star and Tian Gang Star.
Both of them were already at the Half-step Martial Saint Realm, and after taking the treasure the White Dragon Saint brought back from the evil spirits, they broke through to the Martial Saint Realm.
Tian Kui Star looked at the White Dragon Saint, wanting to speak but hesitating.
The White Dragon Saint looked at Tian Kui Star and said: "No need to say more; I know my limits. The Martial Saints of Great Wu are old acquaintances of mine—Shen Yun and Zhu Xuan are already about my equal, and now that I have condensed a third of my Golden Body, they are no longer a match for me in a single exchange."
"Only Shen Yun's third brother, Shen He, is somewhat troublesome, but he has been stationed at the passage of the Far North; by the time he rushes back, it will be too late!"
Tian Gang Star spoke: "Sect Leader, what Tian Kui Star wants to say probably isn't Shen He and the others; what he means is likely someone else—namely, Shen Qing."
Tian Kui Star also nodded: "Exactly. Although our current miserable state is Great Wu's fault, the main problem is this person, Shen Qing."
The White Dragon Saint furrowed his brows; having lived long enough, he knew the Shen clan inside out: "Shen Qing? A member of the Shen clan? No way—the first six generations of the Shen clan never had anyone like this!"
Tian Kui Star gave a bitter laugh: "He is the new generation of the Shen clan, now twenty years old."
"But his rise is extremely fast; in just a few short months he has grown to the point of being able to kill a Martial Saint. Although we send people to deal with him each time, our intelligence becomes outdated almost instantly, because his breakthrough speed is too rapid."
Tian Gang Star also spoke: "Exactly; I think our main enemy in this plan is neither Shen He nor Zhu Xuan and company, but Shen Qing. We ought to gather the latest intelligence on Shen Qing."
"We've suffered too many losses from bad intelligence; this time we must..."
The White Dragon Saint laughed loudly: "Nonsense! I am over eight hundred years old, a Half-step Earthly Immortal—you want me to gather intelligence on a twenty‑year‑old whippersnapper?"
"So what if Shen Qing is fearsome? This punch of mine carries eight hundred years of power—how could he block it?"
"Even if I don't need intelligence, I can still wipe out Great Wu!"
