Chapter 1108: Lu Shen The Druid
In two days, the Shidai had entered the Thousand Beast Realm, and Zao Nianjian led him to the Long Clan's residence. After he dropped Long Tianhuo and the other five people there, he immediately left the realm again.
"There are some people from the upper realms here, and you must know them." Long Tianhuo's words made Xian Di and the other four exchange puzzled glances. "You will meet them soon."
A while later, they arrived at the main hall of the Long Clan, but they were surprised by the presence of Tang Chen and the others there.
Tang Chen immediately spoke to them. "You guys have finally arrived in this realm; I have been waiting for you all for several months."
"I didn't expect to meet here, Old Chen." Xian Di was the first to respond, but he then turned to Ling Tian. "What happened to you, Old Tian? Why do I feel that your aura is so weak?"
Ling Tian softly sighed and shared with them his misfortune upon ascending to the supreme realm. "Fortunately, Wang Jinglong and Lu Yi found me sooner, or else we would never have met again, and I would have died in their nest."
"Hahaha." Hun Lingwang suddenly laughed before moving to Ling Tian's side. He immediately grabbed her hand and injected his soul power into his body to restore his soul. "Your luck is as high as ever, Old Tian. Otherwise, you would have died millennia ago, but you are still here and breathing. As for your soul injury, I can recover it easily."
Ling Tian nodded with a relief look. "How did you guys get together?"
"All thanks to him and Senior Zao." Nu Wang responded, gesturing toward Long Tianhuo. "Fortunately, they came to the upper realms to pick up Jia Yuyan, and they sensed our breakthrough, so they took us away from our sub-realms. Otherwise, we would have ascended to this realm randomly, and we might be as unlucky as you."
"Where's Lu Yi? Why isn't she here?" Zhu Ling asked them.
Tian Huang answered him. "I can't understand that druid's thoughts, but she still seems to have the intention to kill Ling Yun, so she returned to her race to formulate a new plan."
"Lu Yi always likes that." Jia Yubai responded with a shake of his head. "She should have realized that she would never be able to kill Ling Yun, especially since he already had the true immortal energy. Moreover, the leader of the primordial chaos dragon's loyal followers has appeared again, and she won't allow other people to do bad things to her master."
Zhuang Yuan suddenly pointed at Long Tianhuo. "He is Ling Yun's father-in-law, so he also won't keep quiet if that druid still wants to kill him."
"I know where the druids live in this supreme realm." Long Tianhuo then looked outside. "If they have any ill intentions toward my son-in-law, I will wipe out their race from the roots so they will never cause trouble again. Since you are all here now, it would be best if we entered seclusion soon, and we will come out when Ling Yun and the others arrive in this realm."
"You're right." Tang Chen then stood up from his seat. "Anyway, I've found the best location for my clan members to live in, and they've already started building our new residence now. Once our residence is complete, we'll immediately enter isolation while waiting for Ling Yun to arrive in this realm. However, it's unlikely that they'll be able to complete the mysterious tower anytime soon, and it's likely to take them a few years to do so, giving us plenty of time to improve ourselves.
"Moreover, Ling Yun previously informed me that he would take them into seclusion once they arrived in this realm, so it would be more useful for us." Long Tianhuo asked Tang Chen. "Which location did you choose for your new residence?"
"The north." Tang Chen pointed in that direction. "The northern area is quite far from the residences of other mythical beasts, so I think that location is the best. They are there now, and Long Bai brought some people from your clan to help them."
"That won't be an issue, and I'll dispatch additional members of my clan to that location." That way, your residence will be completed quicker, and we can start focusing on our isolation." Long Tianhuo then asked the others. "Do you guys want to stay here, or do you want to join Tang Chen?"
"For the time being, we will join forces with Tang Chen, and we will think about the next plan afterward." Zhu Ling and the others nodded in support of Xian Di's words.
"I see." Long Tianhuo touched each person's forehead and shared a location with them. "We will go there once everything is ready, and the leaders of the other beast races will also join us."
All of them agreed immediately, and they accompanied Tang Chen to expedite the construction of the residence. Long Tianhuo also ordered many members of the Long Clan to help them, and he then went to meet the leaders of the other beast races to discuss their long-term plans. After all, their enemy was the universe itself, so they couldn't possibly deal with it with just a small number, and they needed the help of more people.

"Big Sis!"
Inside a dense swamp forest, countless people from the Druid race shouted in joy as soon as Lu Yi arrived there, and they rushed out to greet him.
Suddenly, a small male druid rushed toward Lu Yi. "Big Sis! You're finally back! We've all been waiting for you for so long!"
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but you've grown so much, Lu Xin." Lu Yi then looked at the members of her race. "Did anything happen while I was gone?"
"Nothing happened, Big Sis." A female druid answered with a shake of her head. "Some people from other natural races have come here several times, and they have asked us to join them. Since you are not here, we refused their request and asked them to wait until your return."
Lu Yi was not surprised by that because he had expected it a long time ago, but he never intended to join those people. "Anyway, I have some bad news, which concerns the future of our universe. Starting today, I will completely isolate this forest area, preventing anyone from approaching us, and we will spend the next few years in complete seclusion. During my absence, I have gathered a variety of treasures, which I will distribute to you in accordance with your cultivation, ensuring that your cultivation progresses more quickly than you anticipated."
"What exactly is happening, Big Sis? What kind of danger threatens our universe?"
Lu Yi immediately told them. "Two dangers are threatening our universe, but I don't know for sure about one of them. Meanwhile, the other one comes from a human named Ling Yun, but he is powerful and has extensive connections, so I can't fight him alone. That's why I want you to focus on your strength, and we will stop him together when he comes to this realm. Do you all understand?"
"Yes, Big Sis."
After that, Lu Yi called them one by one in order of their strength, and she distributed several treasures to each of them based on their current strength. "All right, you guys can go back to your respective places now and use those treasures to boost your cultivation."
"Thank you, Big Sis." With a look of excitement, they all rushed back, eager to use those treasures.
Lu Yi herself also returned to his residence, where a female druid was waiting for her. She immediately went up to her, pulled her into her arms, and kissed her lips. "I miss you, Lu Shen."
"Hehe." Lu Shen giggled and hugged Lu Yi back. "I missed you too, Big Sis. I thought I would have to wait a long time, but you're here now, so I can feel relieved."
"I'm sorry I left you for so long, but I won't be going anywhere else, and I'll stay here forever." Lu Yi then brought Lu Shen to the tree bed in the middle of the room and laid her down on it, and she laid down beside her after. "How's your cultivation? Have you felt any signs of breaking through to the immortal emperor realm?"
"Yes." Lu Shen answered as she snuggled into her arms. "I touched the last barrier a long time ago, but I always failed to break through it, so my cultivation hasn't been broken through yet."
"I see." Lu Yi then took out a golden pill and showed it to Lu Shen. "This pill is the golden ascension pill, and it will help you to break through the last barrier. This way, your cultivation can reach the immortal emperor realm, and your strength will be on par with mine."
Lu Shen shook her head in disapproval. "Big sis, you are the most unique member of our race, and no one else, including me, can match your strength."
"Actually, you are wrong about that, and you are no less special than me. It's just that you haven't awakened your special ability yet, and your power will multiply once you successfully awaken it." Lu Shen immediately looked at Lu Yi in confusion. "I can't tell you about that or how to awaken it, so you must find and awaken it by yourself."
Lu Yi then took off their dresses and lifted her sister to sit face-to-face, after which Lu Shen immediately swallowed the pill and pressed their palms together. "Close your eyes and concentrate. I will help you spread the pill throughout your body, and you can use its effects to break through the last barrier."
"Yes, Big Sis."
After Lu Shen swallowed the pill, Lu Yi immediately channeled her qi into her sister's body, and a greenish-white aura right away enveloped their bodies. Soon, they floated into the air, and the aura became brighter with each passing second; even Lu Shen's aura gradually strengthened after the effect of the pill spread throughout her body.
However, the process of breaking through to the immortal emperor realm was not a simple matter, and Lu Shen could not break through immediately, even though she had swallowed the pill.
