Chapter 3614: Expedition to Another World (None Today)

It should be in the hands of the Myriad Sound Sect. No wonder the Borer Tribe and several other major tribes have allied against them. The Myriad Sound Sect is under immense pressure, which is why they sought our help. They knew we had an irreconcilable conflict with the Borer Tribe, and that other major tribes, even with benefits, might not fully commit.

Ye Xuanji explained that the Myriad Sound Sect had been searching for external assistance, but other powerful factions only wanted benefits and were unwilling to commit fully. They merely feigned action by attacking the Borer Tribe's allies.

When the Mahayana cultivators of the Celestial Moon Tribe directly confronted those of the Borer Tribe, the Borer Tribe couldn't gain a significant advantage.

"Why give them Creation Dew if they're not going to contribute? Isn't that a waste?" asked Fairy Furong with a frown.

"Waste? Does the Myriad Sound Sect dare not give it? If not, those forces would join the Borer Tribe's side to fight them. It's not about scarcity, but about unfair distribution. If they acquire the Universe Bottle and don't share some benefits with other major powers, then it won't just be the Borer Tribe opposing them," Ye Xuanji explained, pinpointing the core issue.

The Myriad Sound Sect's strength is not to be underestimated, but two fists are no match for four hands. While they might dismiss one major tribe, what about five or ten major tribes?

"If they're asking for our help, can we name any price?" Chen Yueying asked, feeling a surge of interest. She thought it would be ideal if they could obtain the Aperture Opening secret technique.

"You can name any price, provided it's worth that much," Ye Xuanji explained. The Myriad Sound Sect isn't foolish; they assess people before making offers.

"We are willing to participate in the battle, but they must give us the items first before we engage the Borer Tribe," Wang Changsheng stated, wanting to secure benefits beforehand. His primary desire was materials for opening apertures, followed by materials for crafting Xuantian treasures.

"Feel free to state any conditions you have. I will negotiate with the Myriad Sound Sect when I contact them and try my best to finalize the terms for you. However, forget about the Aperture Opening secret technique, Fairy Chen; the Myriad Sound Sect won't agree to that given your current strength. It would be more realistic to ask for other materials," Ye Xuanji said slowly. By involving Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, she could demand more benefits.

Wang Changsheng and the others agreed. They each took out blank jade slips, inscribed their required materials on them, and handed them to Ye Xuanji, who would then negotiate the terms with the Myriad Sound Sect.

No sooner had they left than Ye Yunshuo arrived.

"Ancestor Xuanji, are we just going to let the Universe Bottle fall into the Myriad Sound Sect's hands? This was a mission given to us by our clan members from the Immortal Realm." Ye Yunshuo's voice betrayed a hint of reluctance at the end. The Universe Bottle should have been theirs, but the Myriad Sound Sect had acquired it first, which was naturally unacceptable.

"Times have changed. If I could open two apertures, it would be a different story. Have you found the materials I asked you to look for?" Ye Xuanji inquired. She was cultivating the 'Profound Aperture Great Law,' which allowed for a maximum of six apertures. However, the Ye family of Xuanyang Realm only possessed the cultivation methods for the first three layers, limiting them to a maximum of three apertures. Opening the second aperture required six auxiliary materials, of which she had already found two.

"There's no news yet; I've dispatched people to keep an eye out," Ye Yunshuo truthfully replied. The materials needed for opening the second aperture were difficult to find. He had sent many people to search, but none had succeeded. If they were so easily obtainable, Ye Xuanfeng would have opened his second aperture long ago.

"I'll make a trip to the Sky Cocoon Mountain Range to establish direct contact with the Myriad Sound Sect for easier communication. If anything happens, I'll contact you via the large transmission array," Ye Xuanji instructed. The Yinmei Mountain Range had a large transmission array that could directly connect with the Stone Cocoon Tribe, who in turn possessed a cross-realm transmission array capable of reaching the Myriad Sound Sect. Of course, this required relaying messages through multiple realms, as the Myriad Sound Realm and Xuanyang Realm were separated by several planes, necessitating layered communication.

Ye Yunshuo agreed, thinking that even obtaining some Creation Dew would be beneficial.

In the Sky Yan Realm, among the Ancient Li Tribe: Inside a spacious and brightly lit red palace, four Mahayana cultivators—three men and one woman—sat cross-legged on meditation cushions. A red, three-legged, two-eared artifact refining furnace stood at their center, engulfed in raging flames.

A moment later, a short, stout man in a red robe changed his hand seals. The intense flames quickly dissipated, and the furnace lid opened. A palm-sized green jade pendant flew out from inside the furnace. The pendant's surface was carved with intricate patterns, clearly displaying the characters 'Xuan Yin,' and it radiated astonishing spiritual energy. This was the Profound Sound Pendant, a fragment of a Xuantian Treasure specifically designed to counteract sound-based attacks.

"It's finally been successfully refined; our hard work wasn't in vain," said a thin, golden-robed elder, his face beaming with joy.

"We can now act against the Myriad Sound Sect. Send someone to inform Fellow Daoist Li and share this good news," an excited young woman in a beautiful red dress exclaimed.

Soon after, the Ancient Li Tribe began frequently mobilizing their forces. After Divine Monarch Tianyan refined the Profound Sound Pendant, he led a team to the front lines.

They were preparing to reclaim the Universe Bottle, and with the Profound Sound Pendant, they felt the task would be significantly less difficult.

Xuanyang Realm, Thousand Spirits Continent. Yinmei Mountain Range, a manor filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Ye Xuanji, Ye Yunshuo, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Wang Yidao, Wang Yingjie, Grandmaster Miaode, Fairy Furong, Chen Yueying, and others were seated in a green stone pavilion, engaged in conversation.

Ye Xuanji had already contacted Jin Xiao, the Vice Sect Master of the Myriad Sound Sect. Jin Xiao was delighted to learn that three Aperture Openers would be participating in the battle and agreed to most of their conditions. However, they would need to travel to the front lines to collect the promised items.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan each received one material for opening the second aperture. This meant they now possessed two of the six materials needed for opening the second aperture, with four more still required.

This time, invited by the Myriad Sound Sect to travel to another realm to confront the Borer Tribe, they might be able to obtain the remaining four aperture-opening materials.

Aside from aperture-opening materials, they also received a material for crafting Xuantian Treasures. They did not receive Creation Dew; to obtain that, they would need to demonstrate substantial contributions, such as slaying a Mahayana cultivator.

The same applied to Ye Xuanji; if she wanted Creation Dew, she would also need to exchange it for meritorious service.

Chen Yueying, Grandmaster Miaode, and others also requested items. To acquire valuable things, they too would need to achieve great merits.

"Since none of you have any objections, let's depart! The sooner we reach the Myriad Sound Realm, the sooner we can receive our remuneration." Ye Xuanji raised her right hand, and a beam of white light shot out, materializing in mid-air as a colossal ship shimmering with white light—the North Cold. She stepped onto the void and walked directly onto the deck, followed by Wang Changsheng and the others who boarded the ship.

For this battle, Wang Changsheng brought Wang Yidao, Wang Yingjie, Wang Xiangrong, Wang Qingfeng, and Dong Xueli. This was an excellent opportunity to temper them.

No major incidents would occur under their watchful eyes, and inviting a few more Mahayana cultivators meant they could demand more compensation.

The Stone Cocoon Tribe would not participate in this operation; having lost several Mahayana cultivators, they were too exhausted and unwilling to continue the struggle.

After all the cultivators boarded, Ye Xuanji made a hand seal. The North Cold ship glowed with dazzling white light, transforming into a white streak of escape light that pierced through the air and swiftly vanished into the horizon.

They had departed the Xuanyang Realm, en route to the Myriad Sound Realm.
