While Han Cai bid farewell to his sect.
Yun Qinghong, in Iron Talon's city, murmured, "Yongnian."
A gray mist appeared behind him and transformed him into a person. The person was none other than Yongnian.
Yun Qinghong spoke, "You ready?"
Yongnian nodded.
Han Cai, who had transformed into Yun Qinghong, spoke to the system, "System, begin."
Suddenly, Yongnian, who was standing beside Han Cai, felt a surge of pure death Qi. His cultivation started breaking through.
Before, if Yongnian wanted to increase his cultivation, he needed the dead bodies of cultivators to enhance his cultivation. But Han Cai had helped him improve his cultivation technique. Now, his cultivation, instead of being the Yin Death cultivation technique, was called the Pure Death Cultivation Technique. He could absorb Qi from dead cultivators and the vitality of people and turn it into Death Qi to enhance his cultivation.
During the battle with the Starfall Sect, killing a few Nascent Soul cultivators and absorbing their vitality, Yongnian had already reached the Nascent Soul cultivation realm. Now that he was receiving pure death Qi, his cultivation soared from Nascent Soul to the Soul Formation realm, then Soul Severing Realm, then Spirit Embryo Realm, then Spirit Body Realm. Reaching Ascension Realm, Yongnian transformed into an Earth Immortal, but the flow of Qi did not stop. His cultivation continued growing.
Soon, he reached Affinity Immortal, then Spirit Immortal. The growth continued as Yongnian broke through Harmony Immortal and then Void Immortal, then Fusion Immortal, then Spirit Harmony Immortal, then Law Immortal. The flow of Qi still did not stop. Only when Yongnian reached the Minor Law Understanding Realm and became a Golden Immortal did his breakthrough cease.
Han Cai looked at his system panel; he had only a hundred thousand trading points left. After the mass killing of cultivators during the struggle with the Royal Alliance and then killing many Immortals during the auction, he had saved a massive amount of trading points, but they were all spent now.
Han Cai felt bad about losing all his savings, but on the bright side, now Yongnian was the strongest person Han Cai knew.
While Han Cai was brooding about losing trade points, Yongnian was caught up deep in understanding the laws of death. Now he was a Golden Immortal, and he cultivated an enhanced version of the death technique. He was comprehending the laws of death.
Han Cai looked outside; it was already afternoon. He raised his hand, and his special treasure came out – the Divine Flute. Han Cai pointed the flute toward Yongnian, and the flute entered Yongnian's body without any struggle.
Yongnian was still caught up in an epiphany, understanding the death laws.
Han Cai summoned a pot of wine and a glass and started drinking alone, lamenting how difficult his life was. In all honesty, he knew he had never suffered in this life, but he wanted a reason to be sad so he could enjoy the wine as a sad drinker.
The afternoon went by, evening came, and then night fell. Yongnian was still comprehending the death laws when there was a knock on the door.
Han Cai moved his hand, and Yongnian turned into a mist of gray Qi and disappeared. Han Cai, disguised as Yun Qinghong, got up and walked out of his room. There was a servant standing at the door, who spoke in a respectful manner, bowing, "The meeting will begin; your presence is expected."
Yun Qinghong nodded and told the servant, "Lead the way."
After following the servant through the building, they walked slowly and arrived in front of the main building of Iron Talon's meeting hall. The servant opened the gate. Yun Qinghong entered and followed another servant inside. Soon, they were in front of a large door. The servant knocked, and the door was opened.
Inside was a massive hall, and there were five chairs placed in a circle with a table in the middle. Two people were already present inside the hall: the leader of Iron Talon's, Guan Yuwen, and the leader of Silent Ravens, Hua Yufeng.
Yun Qinghong went inside and sat down on one of the chairs while the servant left. All three waited quietly, not speaking.
After a while, the leader of Crimson Serpents, Law Immortal Zhu Tianming, arrived, followed by Silver Emperor Xue Zhenwu. Upon the Silver Emperor's arrival, Law Immortal Zhu Tianming stared daggers at him but stayed quiet.
Once all the members were present, the leader of Iron Talon's, Guan Yuwen, spoke, "The reason for this meeting, as we are all aware, is the struggle between the Crimson Serpents and Aurelian Dragons. Each organization looks after its own interests, but we never cross the line and damage the whole Daxing Continent. At present, the struggle between your two organizations is putting a lot of strain on Daxing, which is not good for anyone here. Let us find a way to resolve this problem."
The leader of Silent Ravens nodded in approval, as did Yun Qinghong.
The leader of Crimson Serpents, Law Immortal Zhu Tianming, said, "It is not that the Crimson Serpents do not want peace, but we lost five cultivators whose lives should have been longer than the life of that country we were trying to acquire. It's all because he sent his crazy messenger who could not take the loss in the bidding war."
Silver Emperor Xue Zhenwu scoffed and said, "We don't know what happened in that auction. All I found out from the royal family was that my faction had won the bid for the divine weapon, but seeing the divine weapon, the greed of the Crimson Serpents came out. They murdered all the members of Aurelian Dragons in the auction and stole the divine weapon. I am not here to make amends or have peace talks. I am going to end the Crimson Serpents today."
