Chapter 0960: Heading to the Red Blood Demon Eye Ox Clan

“Not bad—a set of mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts, twelve in total, and each one is an elite version of a mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifact. Combined, their power exceeds that of ordinary high-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts!” Hao He said with a smile.
He could tell that Huang Long was intrigued.
Indeed, if there was anything that could still intrigue Huang Long now, aside from fragments of the World Tree, it was Great Path Divine Artifacts of mid-tier or higher.
“Oh! Twelve, and each one is an elite version?” A glint appeared in Huang Long’s eyes as he asked, “When will the auction take place?!”
Although he had already purchased sixteen mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts, his estimation was that they would only raise his rank to around 3,500. It was still far from reaching 3,000!
If he could buy this set of mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts, it would be sufficient.
Even if it didn’t raise his rank to 3,000, it would bring him close to that level, allowing him to reach the peak of mid-tier, and then he might have a chance to break through to high-tier.
“For this auction, our Tianyi Mansion still needs some time to prepare. Besides this set of mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts, there are many other valuable items. It will take place in a year!” Hao He said.
In a year?
Huang Long pondered for a moment. “Alright, I’ll return to Tianyi Mansion’s headquarters in a year!” After exchanging a few polite words with Hao He and the others, he left Tianyi Hall with Huang Yi and the rest.
“Elder, could this man be a favored disciple of some sage? To possess so many king-tier spiritual veins?!” Elder Yan spoke up after Huang Long left.
Hao He shook his head. “Even if he were a favored disciple of a sage, he wouldn’t squander them so carelessly. He must have obtained some ancient treasure, which is why he has so many spiritual veins!”
“Is he not afraid that others will covet him given his ostentatious behavior?!” Another elder from Tianyi Mansion asked.
“If he dares to act like this, he must have some backing. Moreover, his strength is definitely not just at the peak of the later stage of eight eras. But why does he buy so many mid-tier and high-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts? And these are all ordinary ones—does he plan to give them to his subordinates?!” Hao He’s eyes flickered as he fell deep into thought.
While Hao He and the others were discussing, Huang Long left Tianyi Hall and went to a tavern in another city of the Tianyi Divine Realm. He rented a small courtyard there and began to enter seclusion.
He practiced the Supreme Transformation Art!
Sitting cross-legged inside the Sacred Cauldron, Huang Long summoned the sixteen mid-tier Great Path Divine Artifacts and made them float around his body. Then, he inhaled deeply, drawing in eight of them at once.
Next, he used the Supreme Transformation Art to merge these eight artifacts one by one, transforming them into part of his own body.

As it merged, the Yellow Dragon’s true form grew increasingly powerful.
Four thousand one!
Four thousand!
Three thousand nine, three thousand eight hundred twenty-one, three thousand eight hundred!
After absorbing and transforming these eight mid-tier Great Path artifacts, its true form became as powerful as that of around three thousand eight hundred such artifacts.
Finally, when the Yellow Dragon absorbed all sixteen mid-tier Great Path artifacts and turned them into part of its own body, its strength reached three thousand five hundred thirty-two.
Now, even with just its true form’s power, the Yellow Dragon could kill nine mid-era experts!
During this period of seclusion, twenty thousand years passed inside the Sacred Cauldron, yet only twenty days elapsed outside. After emerging, the Yellow Dragon left the Tianyi Divine Realm with his companions and headed toward the Chixue Divine Realm, where the Chixue Blood-Pupil Ox Clan lived. Since the Soul Stone was in the hands of the clan’s grand elder, the Yellow Dragon wanted to see if it could exchange it for something else.
“Second brother, someone is following us!” Huang Yi said after leaving the Tianyi Divine Realm.
The Yellow Dragon replied, “Ignore them!” It knew someone was following them, but they were all minor figures, so it didn’t take them seriously.
A few hours later, the Yellow Dragon arrived at the Chixue Divine Realm, home to the Chixue Blood-Pupil Ox Clan.
Upon arriving, it headed toward the Jiang Clan Mountains. Jiang Chen, whom it had met in the treasure vault of the Doumu Immortal Mansion, lived there. The Yellow Dragon planned to meet him first; with his introduction, negotiating with the clan’s grand elder might be easier.
The Chixue Blood-Pupil Ox Clan was one of the top demon clans in the World of Chaotic Demons, with numerous branches—over a thousand in total. The Jiang Clan held a high status within the clan, so its territory was quite large.
“Stop! Who are you? What brings you to our Chixue Blood-Pupil Ox Clan?!” As the Yellow Dragon and his companions were flying, they suddenly encountered guards from the clan.
The Yellow Dragon said, “I am a friend of your grand elder Jiang Chen. I have come to the World of Chaotic Demons specifically to visit him. Please introduce me.”
“A friend of Grand Elder Jiang Chen?” Upon hearing this, the leader of the guards’ group’s expression changed, and he became much more respectful. He said, “We never expected our senior to be a friend of Grand Elder Jiang Chen. Please follow us, esteemed guests!” With that, he led the Yellow Dragon and his companions northward.
The Yellow Dragon and his companions followed, keeping an eye on their surroundings.
At that moment, a group of thirteen people flew in from afar. The leader was an one-eyed old man, thin-faced, wearing the robes of a grand elder of the Chixue Blood-Pupil Ox Clan.

“Greetings, Elder Youyuan!” The leader and his men stopped immediately upon seeing the newcomers and bowed respectfully.
The one-eyed old man grunted, then glanced at Huang Long and the others, scanning them from head to toe before speaking in a hoarse voice, “Who are they? What bring them to our Crimson Blood Magic Eye Bull Tribe?!”
The leader hurriedly replied, “Reporting to Elder Youyuan, they are friends of Elder Jiang Chen. They have come to visit him.”
“Oh, friends of Jiang Chen?” Youyuan’s expression changed slightly as he fixed his gaze on Huang Long. “Are you truly a friend of Jiang Chen?!” His tone was hostile.
Huang Long replied calmly, “Indeed!”
“What proof do you have?!” Youyuan pressed insistently.
Huang Long frowned slightly and said indifferently, “Does every person who comes to the Crimson Blood Magic Eye Bull Tribe have to carry proof?” At this moment, Huang Long realized that the relationship between the Jiang clan and the You clan within the tribe was likely not very good. Otherwise, Youyuan wouldn’t be so hostile toward him.
Upon hearing this, Youyuan’s face turned cold, and he was about to explode. Just then, a hearty laugh rang out, and a middle-aged man in a white robe appeared before everyone, smiling.
“Greetings, Elder Yu Kuang!” All the members of the Crimson Blood Magic Eye Bull Tribe bowed upon seeing him.
The middle-aged man nodded, then looked at Huang Long and said with a smile, “I am Yu Kuang. There’s no need for any proof to enter our Crimson Blood Magic Eye Bull Tribe.” He then turned to Youyuan and said, “Elder Youyuan, I believe our tribe doesn’t have such a rule. Did you set this rule yourself?!”
Youyuan’s expression darkened.
“Hmph! Let’s go!” With a gloomy expression, Youyuan waved his hand and led the members of his clan away.
Yu Kuang watched them leave, then turned his attention back to Huang Long and said, “I was heading to the Jiang clan’s mountain range. Since you intend to visit Elder Jiang Chen, how about we go together?”
