Floating Immortal Order - Chapter 284: Chu Xunyu

According to the Supreme Scripture, this method of treasure refinement was born from the natural laws of heaven and earth. That Xiantian being known as the first Spirit Race crafted a Yao-type pinnacle treasure in accordance with the Supreme Scripture, annihilating countless Demon Race beings. This act sowed a deep-seated enmity between the Spirit and Demon Races that lasted for countless years.

However, as the Spirit Race gradually faded from the world, leaving only the Profound Depth Spiritual World as a heavenly blessed land in the Human Realm, the Demon Race had long since disintegrated, dividing into countless forces based on lineage. The ancient hatred from several eons ago gradually faded from memory and was no longer spoken of.

Xu Disheng’s choice to refine a Yao Spirit Lifebound Magic Treasure was not out of any enmity between the Spirit and Demon races but simply because this treasure offered him the greatest enhancement.

The Ghost Spirit Magic Treasure focused on recultivating the heart and mind, yet Xu Disheng’s cultivation of the mind had already reached immeasurable depths, rendering such an enhancement unnecessary. The Ghost Spirit Magic Treasure was also similar to Soul Song, and the only other bonus it provided was the ability to traverse the barriers between the Human Realm and the Nine Serenities Realm. That alone didn’t make it worth the precious opportunity that crafting a unique Lifebound Magic Treasure entailed. The Profound Spirit Magic Treasure, though powerful in enhancing Spirit Race spells and temporarily boosting spiritual power, was ultimately set aside by Xu Disheng in favor of refining the Yao Spirit Magic Treasure.

Given that the Yao Spirit Magic Treasure could easily annihilate Demon Race beings once it was refined to its peak, it could naturally just as easily exert control over them. The true utility of such a Magic Treasure was immeasurable.

Furthermore, the Supreme Scripture was a cultivation method that accompanied the birth of a Xiantian being. Any treasure refined through its methods had an extremely high potential, and could grow to unimaginable levels.

Xu Disheng’s ambition to take control of the fate of all beings across the three realms and nine domains placed him in direct opposition to all life within this vast chessboard of heaven and earth. Even a seemingly insignificant move in his current weak state could have inestimable effects in the distant future.

While the three were conversing, Sun Yangping approached on a sword light. Once he arrived, he stood there solemnly in mid-air, he greeted, “I pay my respects to the three Supervising Spirit Masters.”

Li Xuanji recognized him and asked, “Spirit Master Sun Yangping, what’s happened? Why do you look so troubled?”

Sun Yangping glanced at Xu Disheng, who stood with his hands behind his back. After a moment of silence, he reported, “Spirit Master Li Xuanji, the person that Supreme Spirit Master brought previously…”

“Are you referring to Zhang Duoyu? What’s happened to him?” Xu Disheng asked, activating Soul Song to sense the location of the soul-suppressing evil spirit skull.

“He was previously being protected by Spirit Master Qin Ming, who took him and several Dao Foundation stage cultivators to search for treasures beneath the waters near the Moon Ghost Sect. They encountered a conflict, and even Spirit Master Qin Ming has been captured,” Sun Yangping looked at Xu Disheng’s expression and said through gritted teeth, “They also said, they demand Supreme Spirit Master to come in good faith to negotiate their release.”

Feng Wuji raised an eyebrow, observing the bustling members of the Dawn Sunset Daoist Alliance in the cerulean sea below, and commented, “Could it be they don’t recognize Supreme Daoist Brother? In the current Dawn Sunset Daoist Alliance, is there anyone foolish enough to provoke a Supervising Spirit Master ranked high on the Daoist Ranking?”

Xu Disheng lightly waved his sleeve and responded, “The only order I gave recently to those Dao Foundation stage cultivators was to bring Zhang Duoyu around to improve his cultivation. When did I order you guys to take him to seek treasures?”

“Perhaps Spirit Master Qin wanted to please Supreme Spirit Master, hence he took the initiative to take Zhang Duoyu to scavenge for resources,” Sun Yangping revealed a bitter smile. “Spirit Master Qin explicitly stated we were under Supreme Spirit Master’s command, yet the offender was unrelenting. I happened to pass by and couldn’t manage to rescue Spirit Master Qin and Zhang Duoyu, so I rushed back to report.”

“Come up,” Xu Disheng gently shook his head and motioned for Sun Yangping to ascend to the Cloud Soaring Luan.

Li Xuanji’s expression darkened with anger, “Where do these petty figures come from, daring to challenge the Spirit Race of the Profound Depth Spiritual World? Lead the way immediately!”

Feng Wuji also laughed, “I’m also curious as to who would be so audacious as to detain people under Supreme Spirit Master’s command.”

The Cloud Soaring Luan cried out, its vast body casting a shadow that covered the sky. With its wings spread, it carried the people on its back towards the center of the sea, the deepest part of the Moon Ghost Sect.

… …

Qin Ming was bound tightly by golden divine light, his face filled with despair as he trembled uncontrollably.

Slap!

Enduring the fiery pain on his face, Qin Ming resentfully said, “You’ve killed more than twenty of our Dao Foundation stage cultivators and humiliated me like this. Supreme Spirit Master won’t let you off!”

A peak Divine Core stage cultivator kicked him again, watching Qin Ming spit blood and fly backwards. He laughed and sneered, “Still trying to act tough? You dared to compete with our Chu Clan for the Ghost Spirit Lotus. If it weren’t for your peak Divine Core stage cultivation having some use for the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance, I would have slain you with a single stroke!”

A young man in white stood to the side, his gaze cold. There were over a dozen Divine Core stage and several dozen Dao Foundation stage cultivators standing solemnly in the air, their expressions reverent. .

Suddenly, the peak Divine Core stage cultivator who had been humiliating Qin Ming looked up towards the distant horizon, noticing a half-step Clone Avatar stage aura approaching directly towards them. He said to the young man in white, “Young Master Chu, there’s a half-step Clone Avatar stage aura coming this way. It’s heading straight here.”

Chu Xunyu also sensed the rapidly approaching powerful aura and frowned slightly, “Didn’t the Primordial Lords and ordinary Primordial Spirit stage cultivators of the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect’s Supervision Hall already withdraw? How come there’s a half-step Clone Avatar stage presence here?”

The peak Divine Core stage individual hesitated briefly before his expression drastically changed. Looking towards the rapidly approaching Cloud Soaring Luan, he exclaimed in shock, “It’s the Spirit Race’s divine beast from the Profound Depth Spiritual World! Could it be that this so-called Supreme Spirit Master is from the Spirit Race?”

Chu Xunyu turned his head to look at Qin Ming on the ground and coldly asked, “Your Supreme Spirit Master is from the Profound Depth Spiritual World’s Spirit Race? Why didn’t you inform me earlier?”

The Chu Clan was a clan that was considered a peak-level force in the Profound Yin Territory, which could be considered rare. Among the three Territories, they were the first peak-level force to join the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance after the destruction of the Moon Ghost Sect.

The reason for their joining, rather than submitting, was due to the cooperative relationship among the peak-level forces within the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance. Similar to the eight peak-level forces across the Dawndusk and Mang Mountain territories, they were indeed obliged to heed the Daoist Sect’s commands, but they enjoyed a considerable amount of freedom on a day-to-day basis, so they weren’t fully subject to the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect’s control.
