Summoners: One Golden Term per Level

Deep in the Fuxi Hall, a secret chamber is filled with mysterious star maps and isolation arrays, with a gentle and serene light.

Feng Yi sits in the main seat, his aura as deep as the sea, while Shen Fei sits opposite, quietly waiting for the final response from the Yuqing Dao Lineage.

”Shen Fei.” Feng Yi’s voice carries a hint of a smile, ”Yuqing has responded. They’ve indeed gone all out this time, to avoid the Human Emperor Palace pressing the issue.”

He raised his hand, pointing with a fingertip in mid-air, and a condensed light screen appeared, clearly listing the price Yuqing Dao Lineage paid to quell the overwhelming storm of ”collaborating with the Abyss and ambushing the key members of the Human Emperor Palace”:

On the light screen, four spheres of churning Chaos gleamed, subtly pulsing as if alive, with faint Great Dao Runes flowing within, exuding a heart-stirring chaotic aura.

”These are wondrous items containing the Dao Rhyme of the Taiyi Realm, condensed from Chaos Essence at the dawn of heaven and earth.

They are invaluable treasures, which can be used to cultivate top-level Cave Heavens, turning some disordered Cave Heavens potentially into Taiyi Level Cave Heavens.

Your Companion Spirits, like Saintess and Jasper Pool, forcibly fused themselves, possibly getting stuck at the Golden Immortal level, but with this, they’re no longer limited.

Moreover, as core materials for refining Taiyi Level great treasures, they are peerless rarities. Yuqing this time has taken out four pieces from their most precious reserves.”

Feng Yi’s tone was calm, but he highlighted the preciousness of the items.

Shen Fei raised his eyebrows. Anything even Feng Yi considered valuable was indeed precious and, as Feng Yi said, would be beneficial to the Saintess and others.

Feng Yi casually swiped his hand.

The image switched to a fragmented world, emanating weird dark green and dark gold light, with treacherous terrain and poisonous miasma wafting, yet containing boundless vitality.

”This is the ’Soulbreaking Grotto,’ containing the ultimate Life and Poison Law. You should know what this is.” Feng Yi gave Shen Fei a pointed look.

It was precisely a piece of the Agricultural Time Fragment that urged Shen Fei to venture to the Void Battlefield. The Shennong Cave Heaven was actually recorded in the Human Emperor Palace.

But no one could successfully refine it, except Shen Fei’s Companion Spirit.

The next moment.

Two irregular crystal fragments appeared, emitting clear silver glows, with moonlight flowing across the surface like ripples. ”This item contains pure Power of Taiyin and parts of the Time Law’s mysteries.”

”This is the compensation from the Taiyi side.”

Feng Yi sneered, ”Their investigation into you is deeper than we imagined. It might cause trouble later from the Moon God Hall, but don’t worry too much; the strongest there is only half-step Taiyi.”

”Those women wouldn’t dare to infringe upon us, the Human Emperor Palace!”

Shen Fei nodded. The existence of the Moon God was known even to the Taiyi Dao Lineage, having appeared several times, and although the killing of the Haoyue Immortal happened long ago.

Yet, if someone wanted to investigate, they could still find some clues.

And the next moment.

The light screen showcased six vast Spirit Veins flowing through the Void like a brilliant Milky Way, exuding rich space power and Power of the Stars.

”Yuqing controls six top-tier Void Spirit Veins, with a millennium of mining rights. This is a substantial resource that greatly benefits our Human Emperor Palace in cultivating new strength and solidifying our foundation.”

Feng Yi turned his gaze to Shen Fei, ”If Chi You wants to reforge and upgrade his Tiger Soul Demon Saber, and if Kunpengzi and Little Pu need battle armor or magical treasures matching their Space Origin.

The top-tier Void Star Core and Space Crystal Marrow produced by these Spirit Veins are indispensable materials.”

The light screen continued to flash, revealing a fragment of a broken seal, ”This is what the Yuqing Dao Lineage offered, useless to others, but useful to Chi You, or rather to you.”

Shen Fei raised an eyebrow. Even Feng Yi mentioned it was useful for him.

”This is a part of the magical treasure ’Celestial Emperor Seal’ from Emperor Haotian, even though fragmented, it’s still a Golden Immortal or even Taiyi level treasure, wieldable only by the Path of the Human Emperor.”

Feng Yi stated: ”Or you could say the Path of God Master.”

The light screen finally showed several shadowy figures and a label of a resource-rich Star Domain. ”The lineage of Chonghe, Qing Spirit, and Master Xuanji from the Spirit Treasure Lineage, as well as Daoist Master Yuling, Dao Ling Zi, and Jade Master from the Jade Cauldron Lineage’s direct bloodline.

And their core resource territories.

Yuqing has completely stripped them from the Dao Lineage, handing them over to our Human Emperor Palace for full disposal. Whether to kill, imprison, exile, or extract remaining value, it’s all up to our discretion.

This is Yuqing’s way to ’clear associations,’ providing the myriad beings in the Dao Realm with a ’conclusion’ sacrifice.”

The light screen gradually dissipated, and the chamber returned to silence.

Feng Yi’s gaze lingered on Shen Fei, carrying a deep implication: ”This ’sincerity,’ just by the list, is undoubtedly significant.

Four Chaos Primordial Embryos, a Soulbreaking Grotto aligning with Shennong, two Moon Phase Fragments, part of the Celestial Emperor Seal, and the yield of six top-tier Spirit Veins over a millennium, plus those abandoned pieces.

This time, Yuqing has indeed bled heavily under pressure.”

Feng Yi lightly tapped his fingers on the table, a formless pressure spreading: ”But these compensations, albeit precious, are still from Yuqing Dao Lineage’s ’resource reserves’ and ’peripheral forces.’

Has their core strength been shaken at all?”

He shook his head: ”Not a single one. They merely excised some rotten flesh for now, offering part of their foundation to quell the collective wrath of the Human Emperor Palace, avoiding being utterly branded as the ’public enemy of the Dao Realm,’ facing the peril of being collectively condemned by all heavens.

The existence of their Golden Immortal level individuals remains numerous, their Primordial Qi untouched, and their foundation still solid.

This momentary dormancy is merely waiting for the storm to pass, licking their wounds, gathering strength, plotting a day of counterattack; you must remain vigilant.”

”To force a Supreme Dao Lineage to bleed so extensively, even at the cost of severing its own arm, handing over core resources, is the best outcome we can strive for under the current circumstances, enough to intimidate all directions, boosting the prestige of the Human Emperor Palace.

But to use this opportunity to completely overthrow Yuqing, uprooting it entirely? It’s as difficult as ascending to heaven! This is not something that can be achieved by a single battle’s merit, a moment’s bravery.

A supreme Dao Lineage with a legacy spanning eons has resilience far beyond what you and I can imagine.

This game is far from over.

What we need is time, time for you to truly grow, time for the Human Emperor Palace to become even stronger. Advancing slowly is the best strategy.”

Feng Yi’s gaze finally settled on Shen Fei, with a hint of hope: ”Utilize these resources well. Yuqing’s ’sincerity’ has been accepted, and this debt, we shall remember for now.

In the future, there will naturally be a time for reckoning.”

Shen Fei quietly listened and nodded: ”I understand. The Yuqing Dao Lineage has its means to survive since the Ancestral Court until now, but after this event, they will also have to lie low for a long time, which is a good thing.”

Suddenly.

Feng Yi inquired: ”How long until you advance to Profound Immortal?”

”Actually, after that battle, I’ve already reached the full level of 200, but to advance to Profound Immortal requires completing a task?”

”Task?”

Feng Yi was also aware of the uniqueness of Professionals.

”It requires all Summoned Beasts to reach the Grotto Heaven Level of Profound Immortal.” Shen Fei rubbed his brow; currently, only Chi You and Shennong could reach the Profound Immortal level.

The rest are still far from it.

”Whatever you need, just say the word, the Human Emperor Palace will assist you,” Feng Yi nodded.
