Chapter 751: Chapter 554 Discuss Official Business First_2

Moving too hastily inevitably leads to many oversights.

Fortunately, Shen Yi had long been accustomed to looking forward while simultaneously searching for solutions to any problems that arose, whether or not he could succeed, it was better than standing still and worrying.

First, he would collect the Demon Lifespan Years and then head to the Ban Shan Sect to retrieve the final Cultivation Technique.

If that failed, he would seek help from Frost Tiger and the Qing Fengs, attempting to construct two Heaven Realm Town Stones, which could at least help stabilize the situation in Southern Hong for the time being.

"Let’s go."

Having thought this, Shen Yi lightly tapped his chin, bid farewell to Xuan Qing, and his figure disappeared within the Nanyang Treasure Land.

...

On the frontier of Southern Hong, at the Treasure Flower Sect.

A group of Elders stood outside the Sect, cupping their hands towards the Qingyue Treasure Ship, expressing their gratitude, "Then we are in Elder Liu’s debt."

Their Sect Master had gone to the Seven Sons Grand Assembly and was still staying as a guest at the Pure Moon Sect.

A few days earlier, a disciple reported having seen a courier Demon from the Dragon Palace passing by. In the tense current circumstances, no detail could be overlooked, so they had informed their Sect Master, wondering whether to investigate further.

Unexpectedly, the Seven Sons had such grandeur; such a trivial matter had directly resulted in two White Jade Capital Elders being dispatched.

"No need for formalities, it’s all in the family."

On the Treasure Ship, a middle-aged man with a gaunt face shook his head and returned the gesture earnestly, none other than Elder Liu Shiqian.

The Treasure Flower Sect might not know that their Sect Master stayed at the Pure Moon Sect because Sect Master Ji had gone to Western Hong. The Treasure Flower Sect Master wasn’t merely a guest there but was performing a garrison duty.

In such circumstances, Pure Moon Sect reciprocally had to return the favor, not allowing any mishap to befall the Treasure Flower Sect.

As the words fell, the Qingyue Treasure Ship swiftly turned, heading in the direction where the courier Demon was previously spotted!

"Tsk, he certainly has broken through, speaking more calmly and composedly than ever," Elder Chi Yang remarked sarcastically as he watched.

...

Elder Liu Shiqian glanced at him, smiling helplessly.

Having struggled for many years at the boundary between the Two Cities, the adventures in the Immortal’s Cave, perilous as they were, turned out to be quite exhilarating.

After recovering from the injuries, he had profound insights, finally surpassing that calamitous illness.

Now, Liu Shiqian’s status in the Pure Moon Sect was vaguely echoing Liu Xingshan’s aura back in the days at the Heavenly Sword Sect. If it weren’t for his indifferent nature, he might even have the qualifications to contend for the position of Great Elder.

"You know I don’t care about these things,"

Liu Shiqian withdrew his gaze. Opening the third city was a bittersweet matter for him.

He had finally crossed that threshold, yet he had also reached the end of his path.

With his foundation and talents, ever since he had climbed to the top of White Jade Capital, striving with all his might, he could only see three cities.

Now that all were revealed, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat empty inside.

From the beginning of his cultivation until today, his path of cultivation might indeed be marked with a perfect endpoint.

"It’s over..."

Liu Shiqian slowly exhaled a long breath.

"Taking advantage yet complaining, eh? How about letting Bai Daozi step aside and letting you use the Qingyue Treasure Land?" Chi Yang jealously snapped, having nearly spent a lifetime as difficult brothers, how come the other had suddenly risen high!

But jests aside,

Chi Yang truly rejoiced for Old Liu; with the intensifying chaos, every increase in cultivation brought a greater hope of survival in this deadly game.

"Watch your mouth,"

Liu Shiqian, irritated, glared at his old friend. If it were before, people would have taken it as a joke, but now, if Bai Wu Daozi heard it, even if he was magnanimous, he would certainly harbor some wariness.

After all, opening three cities genuinely qualified him to control the treasure land.

It’s notable that even among the current Sect Masters, half were at the Union Dao stage, never reaching the threshold of the Heaven Realm in their lifetimes.

"I really hope to encounter someone from the Dragon Palace next, and let our Elder Liu test the third Dao Soldier."

Chi Yang laughed, his mouth being one of the main reasons, along with his personality, for being ostracized by the other Elders of the Seven Sons alongside Liu Shiqian.

...

Liu Shiqian couldn’t be bothered with him, focusing on the mountain range ahead.

The Treasure Flower Sect was situated at the sensitive junction of Southern Hong and Western Hong. If there indeed was any situation, it could very well involve the machinations of the Southern Dragon Palace, necessitating extreme caution.

With this in mind, he took out a heavy gold disk, upon which was a crescent moon surrounded by a cluster of stars.

This artifact was a valuable treasure of the Pure Moon Sect, not only capable of seeking demons and distinguishing energy but even capable of sensing in advance the approximate strength of demons. If not for his progressed cultivation, he wouldn’t have the qualifications to bring this out of the Sect.

Liu Shiqian’s fingertips brushed across each star, infusing them with his breath.

The breath surged through the stars, causing them to flicker once before dimming.

"Tsk, a wasted trip,"

Chi Yang shifted his gaze away from the gold disk.

However, Liu Shiqian did not get distracted, continuing his survey of the surroundings until every star had twinkled once, his breath finally flowing into the crescent moon.

Under normal circumstances, this crescent moon should have dimmed quickly, but at this moment, Liu Shiqian’s gaunt face was illuminated somewhat pallidly by the moonlight.

...

His expression appeared unchanged, but the veins on the hand holding the gold disk gradually bulged.

This crescent moon was used to detect demons comparable to the Unity Realm Stage Great Demons.

The two silently observed as the moon slowly tilted, its brighter end pointing towards their rear.

"What are you looking at? Let me see too."
