Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Inside the Human Emperor Palace, the cultivators of the Celestial Emperor Lineage knew that Chi You had taken control of the Fire Cloud Grotto. Thus, they represented the Human Emperor Palace to negotiate with Shen Fei.

The Fire Cloud Heavenly Grotto was indeed very important to the Human Emperor Palace. Shen Fei realized that if the Fire Cloud Heavenly Grotto and his Fire Cloud Cave were not merged.

It would be difficult for the Human Emperor Palace to produce any Taiyi.

This matter even made many Golden Immortals of the Human Emperor Palace take action, as it involved their Dao paths. Internally, they must have had their own discussions.

Upon learning that there was the shadow of Venerable Fu Xi behind the Blue Star, the Celestial Emperor Lineage treated Chi You and Shen Fei very courteously.

Ultimately, it was agreed that after Shen Fei advances to True Immortal, he would bring Chi You to the Human Emperor Palace to merge his Fire Cloud Cave with the Fire Cloud Heavenly Grotto.

As for the stakes offered by the Celestial Emperor Lineage, four True Immortals would serve under Chi You during this period. Furthermore, when necessary, they could request help from the Profound Immortals or even Golden Immortals of the Human Emperor Palace.

Additionally.

The Human Emperor Palace and the Blue Star would form an alliance, drafting an alliance contract, and offering greater benefits compared to the Taiyi Dharma Lineage.

Shen Fei naturally wouldn’t refuse this, as he wouldn’t place all eggs in one basket. Having more allies would prevent the Blue Star from pinning all its hopes on the Taiyi Dharma Lineage.

Upon finding out, Daoist Chonghe was helpless. Although the Human Emperor Palace was currently weak, it was once a Supreme Dao Lineage, and the Celestial Emperor Lineage was indeed connected to Venerable Fu Xi.

The Blue Star was also associated with Venerable Fu Xi, and blocking them would lead to a fallout with both the Human Emperor Palace and the Blue Star.

Previously, the Ji Family also retrieved people from the Fang Family, discovering they indeed had the Ji Family’s bloodline, even more closely related to the Human Emperor’s bloodline.

This spurred the Ji Family’s involvement in the Blue Star’s affairs, and some members of the Fang Family, now renamed as the Ji Family, accused Shen Fei of his previous actions against them.

However, these voices were suppressed, while the Jiaang Family discovered that the elixirs made by the Taiyi Dharma Lineage were actually based on the Earth Emperor’s lost alchemy method.

The Jiaang Family even stirred a Golden Immortal, who personally visited the Taiyi Dharma Lineage.

After meeting Shennong, they declared that the Calamity Shennong was a direct disciple of the Earth Emperor, revered as an ancestor by the Jiaang Family.

All of a sudden.

Shen Fei instantly rose to fame, as this young man who emerged from a Divine Dynasty relic established such deep connections with both the Human Emperor Palace and the Taiyi Dharma Lineage.

Due to this uproar, Blue Star’s information spread unstoppably, and just having the backing of Venerable Fu Xi made many hesitate to act rashly.

It was never explicitly stated that this Wa God sibling Fu Xi had fallen. If he hadn’t, no one knew what level his cultivation had reached.

Shen Fei did not pay much attention to these disturbances, but admittedly, the matter of the Human Emperor Palace was beyond his control, though current developments looked favorable.

Particularly with Venerable Fu Xi acting as a shield in the forefront.

Venerable Fu Xi was indeed still alive, yet it remained unclear why he hadn’t appeared, continuing to stay on Blue Star. Could Blue Star be related to the disappearance of the three Patriarchs and five Emperors?

If not, given his power and status, why remain on Blue Star?

This hardly affected Shen Fei, but it significantly impacted the situation in South Pole Heaven. With the addition of professionals, many below the Immortal Level swiftly grew.

This quickly alleviated the Abyss’ offensive, which had just invaded from the Phoenix Race, mainly because compared to the original Dao Realm cultivation system, the method of gaining cultivation by slaying Abyssal Creatures felt different to them.

For those who had lost hope on their Dao paths, they now saw slaying Abyssal Creatures as something they willingly wanted to do, rather than just a necessary task.

Moreover.

Slaying Abyssal Creatures would yield rewards, causing South Pole Heaven to undergo a trend reversal, with everyone fervently slaying Abyssal Creatures, liberating the Dao Realm’s foundation.

Shen Fei was almost overwhelmed with contribution points, as there were too many professionals. As Daoist Chonghe had mentioned earlier, many pieces of equipment were not for the Blue Star’s professionals.

It seemed that their experience gain and drop rate were less than those of Blue Star’s professionals, and concerning equipment, demand far exceeded supply.

Gains were mostly from the Ba Yuan and the equipment refined by Chi You, so now Shen Fei’s business extended beyond just the Taiyi Abyss.

Wherever there were professionals in South Pole Heaven, they mostly came to the Taiyi Dharma Lineage to purchase equipment and elixirs.

Yet during this period, some issues arose as well, with a Profound Immortal eyeing Shen Fei’s profits and attempting to use their power to suppress him. But Shen Fei was now not just himself.

As soon as the move was made, the Taiyi Dharma Lineage warned them, notably because Shen Fei’s reliance in the Dao Realm was not solely on the Taiyi Dharma Lineage.

Includes the Human Emperor Palace.

If the Taiyi Dharma Lineage doesn’t want him, the Human Emperor Palace does.

As long as the interest alliances are numerous, Shen Fei could navigate comfortably within them. Corresponding professionals soon started alchemy and artifact refining.

Some Dharma Lineages within the Taiyi Dao Lineage spent large amounts to awaken commoners into professions like alchemy and artifact refining, then raised them.

Albeit costly initially, upon training, the subsequent expenditure would significantly reduce.

Shen Fei stayed in the Taiyi Dharma Lineage, continuing to study the companion spirit cultivation techniques. Given the current situation, he was even more reluctant to step outside.

Now, there were plenty of people watching him, even if the Celestial Emperor Lineage offered assistance. At the critical moment, there wouldn’t be time.

Many issues didn’t require his intervention, staying at the Taiyi Dharma Lineage was safer, and since the number of professionals was considerable now.

While it couldn’t be said that all these professionals followed Shen Fei’s lead, many did recognize his contributions, with few being ungrateful. Many whose Dao paths were rejuvenated remained grateful to Shen Fei.

After all, without Shen Fei’s inclusion in the Taiyi Dharma Lineage, many would still be lost, unsure of their next steps.

Hence.

The status of Wuxia Mountain within the Taiyi Dharma Lineage had rapidly ascended, soon ranking among the top branches.

During this time.

The Heavenly Pride Festival within the Taiyi Dharma Lineage commenced. Shen Fei was unaware until members of the Taiyi Dharma Lineage approached him, revealing that every five years.

Each Dharma Lineage would send disciples below Immortal Level, from Qi Refining to Returning to Void, to participate as long as they hadn’t exceeded a certain age.

This was one way the Taiyi Dharma Lineage nurtured talented disciples.

This also influenced the allocation of resources within various dharma lineages over the next five years, and although Blue Star was an ally, it could also participate.

Only those below the Immortal Level could join, yet there was generosity towards those Returning to Void as long as they were below a thousand years old.

Shen Fei pondered for a moment, realizing it was time for the Tier Nine from Blue Star to come over, mostly because he now had the capital to exchange for Immortal Level Techniques.

In essence, half-mythical professions were quite rare.

For those with strong comprehension, it might be better to have them cultivate techniques, break through to Tier Ten, and then become professionals.
