Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 76: Chapter 5: Sect Master’s Authority (Fifth update, seeking monthly pass ticket)_1

Translator: 549690339

The Fubo Dragon Monarch didn’t have the right to construct the Dragon Palace, hence, the place where the Dragon Sovereign’s banquet was held wasn’t in the pond, but on the waist of the mountain adjacent to the waters of the pond.

A large number of monster tribes had already flattened the mountains and built a vast platform encircling the Fubo Pond.

As noon approached, many guests had already taken their seats above the Fubo

Pond.

At the first platform, Liu Yao led a group of human cultivators to the top.

Despite being prepared, many human cultivators could not help but feel a sense of trepidation upon seeing the visitors before them.

Seated on these platforms were leopards in business suits and leather shoes, pig demons with mud-soaked bodies as thick as armor, and aged tree spirits dressed in coarse clothing…

Most of these monsters were at the Essence Refining Stage, with only a minority reaching the Qi Transformation Stage.

Those that had reached the transformation were often flanked by smaller demons, who in the era of the newly returned Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, were capable of carving out a territory for themselves.

The transmuted monster tribes were engaged in conversations with each other, their postures and words resembling those of humans, albeit subtly.

Some of the monsters even held raw, bloody flesh which they bit into heartily.

Their eyes constantly drifted in the direction of the human cultivators, as though they were feasting on their flesh, sending chills down their spines.

“We have Master Ge’s protection, and my Liu Family’s ties with the Fubo Dragon Monarch are deep, so you need not fear threats from these monster tribes,” Liu Yao, seated at the head, comfortingly said to the cultivators.

Upon hearing Liu Yao speak these words, relief swept over many of the cultivators, and they subconsciously shifted their gaze to Master Ge.

“We owe our thanks to Young Master Liu.”

“These demons are indeed brazen.”

“Wlio would’ve thought that this so-called Dragon Sovereign’s Banquet would turn into a feast crawling with demonic creatures.”

“Without Young Master Liu, we would’ve fallen prey to the demons.”

In the midst of this rainbow chatter, someone suddenly asked: “Where’s He Yao?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene grew silent momentarily, followed immediately by a cultivator speaking with righteous anger:

“Wiry bring up that guy? He’s nothing but bad luck!”

“Young Master Liu personally invited him, but he refused outright.”

“Unfortunately, Young Master Liu is too kind-hearted, he even arranged for a servant to protect He Yao. That guy gets to keep his life.”

“Such people don’t deserve it!”

Listening to the crowd’s discussions, Liu Yao’s smile grew even brighter.

He Yao was the only genius chosen by the Liu Family who saw through the

Spirit Beast contract trap.

For the Liu Family, He Yao was undoubtedly an unstable factor. Had the killing of this level of prodigy not attracted the eyes of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, the Liu Family would’ve offed He Yao long ago.

Liu Yao seemed to have invited He Yao voluntarily, but he had already understood He Yao’s character and tricked him into refusing his kindness.

Once this had come into play, they have nothing to do with He Yao’s death, and everything is managed by the Fubo Dragon Monarch’s subordinates.

The Imperial Astronomical Bureau might be domineering, but it couldn t control the Fubo Dragon Monarch.

Moreover, the influence of the Fubo Dragon Monarch was about to increase significantly-

Ridding the Liu Family of this minor trouble naturally put Liu Yao in a good mood.

However, on the surface, Liu Yao still refuted those who criticised He Yao:

“As members of the Human Clan, it’s our duty to help one another when abroad. How can we abandon our clansmen for our selfish desires?”

As soon as these words were spoken, all the criticizing cultivators lowered their heads in shame.

“We’ve been only considering our personal wishes, while Young Master Liu has been considering the interests of the entire Human Clan.”

“I pale in comparison to Young Master Liu.”

“Young Master Liu is right, I was too narrow-minded.”

Liu Yao’s smile became more apparent, and he said with a passionate tone.

“As long as He Yao is a member of the Human Clan, even if he is guilty of many crimes, I have the responsibility to protect him…”

His speech was cut off halfway through, he looked off in the distance as if he had seen a ghost.

At the entrance to the banquet, Shen Yuan and He Yao were slowly making their way to the platform.

He Yao seemed to be deliberately lagging behind. The one in front, Shen Yuan, wore elegant white clothes and carried a Bronze Ancient Sword. His demeanor was extraordinary.

“How did they get up here?”

“They must be relying on Young Master Liu’s respected status, prompting the demons at the foot of the mountain to let them up.”

“Young Master Liu is indeed a distinguished guest of the Fubo Dragon Monarch.”

“What a shame. Unfortunately, two troublemakers appeared at such a wonderful gathering.”

“Shut up! Didn’t you just hear Young Master Liu say he considers the whole Human Clan’s interests?

If you refute that, wouldn’t you be putting Young Master Liu in peril?

Because of Liu Yao’s previous righteous words, few of them blamed He Yao and Shen Yuan. Instead, they looked at Liu Yao with admiration.

In their eyes, this was a reflection of the influence of the Liu Family.

With a forced smile, Liu Yao then looked inconspicuously at the servant who had been sent to notify the wolf demon, his eyes flashing fiercely.

Not far away, Shen Yuan and He Yao had already arrived at the front of several platforms.

At this time, He Yao’s admiration for Shen Yuan had reached its peak.

Whether it was seeing through the Liu Family’s plot at a glance, or killing dozens of Essence Refining Stage small demons and a Qi transforming stage wolf demon with a single sword at the foot of the mountain earlier, He Yao had felt the unfathomable depth of Shen Yuan.

Recalling his own attempt to save Shen Yuan, his face blushed instantly.

As Shen Yuan moved between the platforms, his gaze fell into the Fubo Pond.

Upon arriving, Shen Yuan could feel the concentration of Spirit Energy in the air rapidly increasing, even surpassing that of Yunmeng Village.

Clearly, the source of this Spirit Energy was the natural spirit pool within the Fubo Pond.

“Merely entering the range of this Natural Spirit Pool and I can sense such a rich concentration of Spirit Energy. It’s no wonder it is the treasured possession of the Water Tribe’s Dragon Sovereign,” Shen Yuan couldn’t help but admire.

As he walked further across the platform encircling the Fubo Pond, Shen Yuan felt the increasing concentration of Spirit Energy around him.

At this moment, the Essence Element within his body had become extremely active, and it seemed that he was just a thought away from completing the Refining Essence into Qi transformation and generating Mana.

Of course, Shen Yuan’s purpose was not merely Refining Essence into Qi. Completing the final step of the beginner’s guide was his utmost priority.

Having entered the range of the Natural Spirit Pool, he just needed to identify an opportunity to claim the Natural Spirit Pool as his Sect’s Spirit Pool, and then complete the Qi transformation to finally rid himself of the beginner’s guide’s nuisance.

Just then, a sudden flash appeared on the system interface before Shen Yuan’s eyes.

In the beginner’s guide task column, the system displayed a string of text that Shen Yuan had never seen before.

System: The host has entered the range of the Natural Spirit Pool. The pool is still without an owner. Do you wish to exercise the rights of the Falling Clouds Sect Master to forcefully claim it as the Sect’s Spirit Pool?
