Chapter 24: The Conference of All Ethnic Groups

As soon as Qu Yi finished speaking, he swung his Haotian Sword.
When Qu Yi was still a high-ranking Heavenly Soul Immortal, using the Haotian Sword already granted him the strength of a three-star Heavenly Soul Immortal. Now that his cultivation had reached one-star Heavenly Soul Immortal, all his chaotic energy had transformed into Fire-type Immortal Essence. When he used the Haotian Sword, its power equaled that of a six-star Heavenly Soul Immortal.
In the sky, a massive wall of fire descended from above, emitting intense and scorching power of the Fire-type world. It struck the four Iron-Clawed Blue Crows at the same time.
The wall of fire hit the wings of the four Iron-Clawed Blue Crows.
“Despicable…”
The four Iron-Clawed Blue Crows were furious. They never expected that while they were attacking Lei Ling and the others with magic, someone else was waiting for them behind.
In their anger, they unleashed massive Wood-type Monster Essence to form a defensive barrier of Wood-type world power to protect their bodies.
Unfortunately, Qu Yi struck suddenly with determination, and their makeshift defense was completely unable to withstand it.
Crack!
As the wall of fire passed, the bodies of the four Iron-Clawed Blue Crows were split in two at the wings.
With only their upper bodies left, the birds lost their ability to fly and plummeted to the ground.
“Haha…” Qu Yi laughed heartily.
Immediately afterward, he descended to the ground and mercilessly punched the four Iron-Clawed Blue Crows, who were trying to repair themselves, until they were completely knocked out.
Naturally, Qu Yi then put the four birds into the Dimension Ball.
“Master, your attack power seems to be on par with that of a six-star Heavenly Soul Monster,” Lei Ling exclaimed in shock as he flew down.
Lei Kong, Shui Kong, and Cang Yang also came to the ground, staring at Qu Yi in astonishment.
With the cultivation level of a one-star Heavenly Soul Monster, he could match the strength of a six-star one. The four of them were naturally shocked and also realized that Qu Yi’s Haotian Sword was of extremely high quality, likely at the level of a legendary high-ranking Heavenly Soul Immortal.
Qu Yi glanced at the four of them and said with a smile, “Don’t overthink it. Continue on your journey. Attack any monsters that stand in your way.”
“Yes, Master,” the four replied excitedly.
Qu Yi then disappeared.

Inside the Dimension Ball, the four Iron-Clawed Blue Crows lay on the grass, with only their upper bodies remaining.
Qu Yi and Mu Zun appeared.
“Mu Zun, these four blue crows have already reached the cultivation level of four-star Heavenly Soul Monsters. Now, go and absorb their Soul Flowers,” Qu Yi said indifferently.
The Soul Refining Technique could devour Soul Flowers of Heavenly Soul Monster level.

Although Mu Zun was only at the soul realm of one-star Tianpo Demon, he could still devour the Soul Flowers of the Four Iron-Clawed Blue Crows. As long as they weren’t soul fragments of the Power of the World of Life, Mu Zun could absorb any other soul fragments from the World of Wood.

Mu Zun nodded and quietly approached one of the Iron-Clawed Blue Crows, placing his right hand on its head. Using the Soul Refining Technique, he first extracted the Soul Flower, then shattered it, and finally filtered and absorbed it. In a short while, the Soul Flower of the Iron-Clawed Blue Crow appeared—a sphere of blue light with three layers and six petal outlines, perfectly intact. With just a hand gesture from Mu Zun’s right hand, the Soul Flower shattered completely, while Mu Zun’s own Soul Flower floated above his head.

The blue fragments of the Soul Flower, once crushed, turned into fine sand-like particles, forming a stream of blue light that entered Mu Zun’s Soul Flower. Some fragments were thrown away, but most were absorbed by Mu Zun’s Soul Flower.

Seeing this, Qu Yi smiled, vanished in an instant, and returned to his soft chair. “Vessel God, this Tianxian Star, with its mixed races, is quite suitable for the Five Lords to devour souls,” Qu Yi said happily.

With the Soul Refining Technique, Qu Yi could expect to help the Five Lords quickly reach the soul realm of six-star Tianpo Immortals, allowing him to ascend to the same level as well.

“Stop making noise. I want to sleep,” the Vessel God replied lazily with his eyes closed.

Qu Yi bit his lip, feeling frustrated, and lay down.

On the Wind Pavilion Continent, where various races coexisted, the powerful demon beast races, while competing with each other, also maintained connections. The death of Jin Yuan, the leader of the Golden Claw Crab Clan, and the Iron-Clawed Blue Crow of the Ancient Great Forest quickly became known to all the demon beast races on the continent.

Powerful demon beasts had arrived on the Wind Pavilion Continent!

As long as they weren’t extremely foolish, these beasts could deduce that somewhere on the continent, there must be incredibly powerful demon beasts from other planets—those with strength at least equivalent to six-star Tianpo Demons, or even possibly Tianhun Demons.

Soon, the leaders of the Tianpo Demon races across the continent issued orders to suspend all activities and stay within their own territories. These orders served one purpose: to avoid conflicts with these powerful outsiders from other planets.

Without conflict, these alien strongmen surely wouldn’t attack for no reason.

This was the thinking of the various demon beast races on the Wind Pavilion Continent.

However, as the strongest demon beast race on the continent, the Leopard Clan naturally couldn’t cower like the others.

In the central area of the land to the north of the Wind Pavilion Continent, around the Origin Heavenly Vein, lay the territory of the Leopard Clan. On a towering mountain called the Monster Gathering Mountain, there stood a naturally grown, ancient Chair Leaf Tree—over a thousand meters tall. Each of its massive leaves resembled a natural chair, capable of supporting the weight of a person. At that moment, the Leopard Clan’s leader, Flowing Shadow Leopard, arrived at one of the leaves at the tip of a branch and sat down. Following him were a hundred powerful monsters of the Heavenly Soul Monster level, representatives of various monster races on the Wind Pavilion Continent, who also landed on leaves and sat down one after another. Of course, these powerful monsters had all taken human form; otherwise, the leaves could not support their true monstrous bodies. Flowing Shadow Leopard, in his human form, had a sleek and athletic build. His cold eyes always gave off a sense of danger, and his movements were full of strength. Glancing at the powerful monsters on the leaves, Flowing Shadow Leopard said calmly, “Everyone has heard the news—that powerful monsters from other planets have entered our Wind Pavilion Continent. The fact that they were able to kill four Iron-Claw Blue Crows together means those alien monsters must possess at least the strength of a six-star Heavenly Soul Monster, or even possibly that of a Heavenly Soul Monster. I’ve called you here to gather your ideas on how to deal with these alien monsters.” After asking this, none of the leaders of the various races replied. “The highest-ranking leader in our race is only at the five-star Heavenly Soul Monster level. What else can we do? It would be lucky if we weren’t wiped out by those alien monsters. We certainly won’t take the risk of angering them,” thought the leaders of the various monster races. This was because the Origin Heavenly Vein of the Wind Pavilion Continent had always been under the control of the Leopard Clan. For other races to advance in power, they needed the Leopard Clan’s permission. To maintain their dominance, the Leopard Clan usually restricted the development of other monster races, which is why the highest-ranking leaders of these races could only reach the five-star Heavenly Soul Monster level. Seeing the silence from the leaders of the various races, Flowing Shadow Leopard’s eyes turned cold as he scanned them all. The leaders felt a chill in their hearts. “Commander, I suggest reporting the situation of those alien monsters to the Tuoba Alliance and asking their Heavenly Soul Monster warriors to come and help us,” said the leader of the Iron-Back Gray Wolf Clan. Hearing this, the leaders of the other races’ eyes lit up as they all turned to look at Flowing Shadow Leopard. If Heavenly Soul Monster warriors could be brought in, then the various races wouldn’t have to live in fear anymore.

Liu Ying Bao’s expression darkened as he sighed in displeasure. “It seems everyone shares this idea. Then it’s decided. I’ll report the situation to the Tu Ba Alliance right now.” With that, he indeed took out a communication card. After a brief communication, his expression grew increasingly grim, and he quickly put away the card. The leaders of the various tribes watched his expression quietly, feeling a badbadbad feeling translates to bad feeling., and could only wait for him to speak. “Everyone, I’ve already reported the situation to the Tu Ba Alliance. The official there told me that as long as the Wind Pavilion Continent isn’t in a life-or-death situation, the powerful Tian Hun Yao warriors won’t come out easily,” Liu Ying Bao said calmly. This was quite normal—Tian Hun Yao warriors were solely focused on cultivation. Who would risk themselves for the possible dangers faced by the Tian Xian Star Yao beast races? Ah… The leaders of the various tribes exclaimed in surprise, quickly understanding the Tu Ba Alliance’s thinking. Ignoring the reactions of the other leaders, Liu Ying Bao continued, “The official also told us to gather all the powerful warriors with five-star Tian Po Yao cultivation levels from the Wind Pavilion Continent. Once we spot that alien warrior, we must immediately surround and attack him.” Ah… The leaders of the various tribes exclaimed in surprise once again. At this moment, various thoughts arose in their minds. “Did Liu Ying Bao’s message really reflect the situation in the Wind Pavilion Continent?” “If we gather all those powerful five-star Tian Po Yao warriors and they’re killed by that alien warrior, won’t our tribes lose their supreme leaders? Wouldn’t we then have to submit to the rule of the Leopard Clan forever?” “I feel like this is Liu Ying Bao’s scheme—he wants to use this alien warrior to eliminate our tribes’ supreme leaders.” “Could that alien warrior be created by Liu Ying Bao?” … The leaders of the various tribes showed a mix of emotions on their faces. “Commander, I’ll pass on the orders to our supreme leaders.” After much deliberation, all the leaders agreed. They had no choice but to agree, as the Origin Tian Mai was in the hands of the Leopard Clan. If they refused Liu Ying Bao this time, it would be very difficult for their own beast warriors to use the Origin Tian Mai to improve their cultivation levels in the future. Getting affirmative replies from the leaders, Liu Ying Bao nodded with a smile. “Very good. While sending back the message, remind all the beast tribes to stay alert to any activity in their territories. As soon as they spot an alien warrior, they must report to me immediately,” Liu Ying Bao said calmly. “Yes, Commander,” the leaders of the various tribes replied in unison. ※※※

Lei Ling, Lei Kong, Shui Kong, and Cang Yang were flying in the air and found that no monstrous beasts had appeared to block their path. In just one month, the four of them reached the Leopard Clan’s territory and were soon about to arrive at the entrance to the Primordial Heavenly Veins.
