Chapter 2594: Gu Yuena's Bottom Line_1

Spirit Pagoda!

Seeing Di Tian appear before her again, Gu Yuena frowned slightly, "Di Tian, is there something else you need to report? If it's about the federation, there's no need to mention it!"

In recent times, most matters were related to the federation, which had made her somewhat impatient!

Of course, what mattered most was her certainty that the federation wouldn't dare to make a move against the Spirit Pagoda so lightly; thus, there was no need to understand the opponent's actions in such detail…

Di Tian, after much hesitation, still felt it necessary to speak, "My lord, although this matter is related to the federation, it also involves other forces!"

This statement finally aroused a few degrees of interest in Gu Yuena...

"If even you are so persistent, the matter must not be simple, speak!"

Di Tian nodded and said, "Just a short time ago, the federation secretly invited all major forces, excluding the Spirit Pagoda, seemingly to discuss something important!"

"I suspect that this is very likely a plan against our Spirit Pagoda!"

After listening, Gu Yuena decisively refuted, "To exclude the Spirit Pagoda at such a critical juncture? No, the federation would not be so foolish!"

If they did so, it would mean that the federation intentionally aimed to splinter the Spirit Pagoda, which could likely ruin their own reputation!

Di Tian still harbored doubts, "But my lord, besides devising something against our Spirit Pagoda, the federation should have no other reason to take such significant action!"

Gu Yuena pursed her thin lips and counter-questioned, "Have you sent someone to look into this matter?"

Di Tian naturally would not have forgotten such a thing, "Yes, I've sent Bi Ji to investigate, and we should have the results before long!"

Gu Yuena then turned around, "That will do. Inform me once the results come in; I'll go check on the research laboratory!"

At present, the Spirit Pagoda had already been able to revive soul beasts with thousands of years of cultivation, but it would still take some time to revive a ten-thousand-year soul beast.

Of course, what mattered most was her own blood essence as the Silver Dragon King...

Di Tian did not argue, "As you wish, my lord!"

Since the former did not show any signs of worry, she must be confident...

So he would simply follow the orders given...

…

When Gu Yuena arrived at the recently expanded research laboratory, she could clearly see that the number of scientific personnel had multiplied several times...

The reason for this was simple, to provide additional manpower...

She gave a soft cough, and all the scientific personnel in the laboratory instinctively halted their activities, turning their gazes towards her...

They spoke in unison, "Pagoda Master!!"

Gu Yuena slightly nodded in acknowledgment, then casually glanced over them...

It was clear to see that some of the researchers' pupils were bloodshot, evidently having not rested for a long time...

She immediately spoke to reassure them, "My friends, you have worked hard during this time"

The researchers, pleasantly surprised, hurriedly responded, "Pagoda Master, working for the Spirit Pagoda is not hard on us!"

"Indeed, we should thank you for allowing us to join in the research; after all, this is a technique that can break conventional wisdom. Once it becomes known, it will surely make our Spirit Pagoda the foremost power in Soul Land!"

"What are you talking about! Under the Pagoda Master's leadership, our Spirit Pagoda has long been the strongest force in Soul Land. The federation, the Tang Sect, they simply do not compare to us!"

"That's right, our Spirit Pagoda has already suppressed the other forces!"

Gu Yuena smiled quietly then said again, "Seeing your interest in this research gratifies me, so I shall not disturb your work. Please continue,"

"Once it is completely finished, the Spirit Pagoda will give you the rewards you deserve!"

With these words, she once again stirred up the enthusiasm of the researchers, who all busied themselves...

However, the most senior male researcher among them approached Gu Yuena with great trepidation...

He looked at her, seemingly with words stuck in his throat that he longed to express...

Gu Yuena could tell there was something amiss and spoke up first, "Do you have any other issues with this research?"

The man hastily shook his head in denial, "No, that's not it!"

Then he seriously explained, "Pagoda Master, there's no problem with the research itself; it's just... to revive a ten-thousand-year soul beast, relying on that bit of soul beast blood essence is utterly insufficient!"

"To continue this way would even affect our progress!"

Gu Yuena's expression remained unchanged—clearly, she had anticipated this problem...

It was just that she hadn't expected it to arise so soon!

Seeing her reaction, the man continued, "Pagoda Master, perhaps we could do this: you tell us where the blood essence is obtained from, and then send powerful Soul Masters to collect it!"

"That way, we wouldn't need to trouble you every time!"

Gu Yuena glanced at him and said indifferently, "What if I told you that this blood essence was extracted from my own body?"

The man swallowed hard and chuckled awkwardly, "Pagoda... Pagoda Master, you must be joking, how could human blood possibly cultivate a soul beast"

"If what I just said offended you, I won't mention it again!"

He mistakenly thought this was a warning from Gu Yuena, caused by her anger...

Gu Yuena let out a cold "hmph," "Don't worry about the blood essence. I'll handle it!"

"What you need to do is speed up the pace of this research, understand?"

Facing this gentle response, the man quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, Pagoda Master. Then I shall not disturb you further!"

At the same time, Di Tian's voice rang out in Gu Yuena's mind...

"My Lord, Bi Ji has already learned of the situation!"

"Those representatives of the various powers going to the federation are indeed not targeting Spirit Pagoda but the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Gu Yuena said in surprise, "Holy Spirit Cult?"

Since the Abyssal Creature Army had been exterminated, the Holy Spirit Cult had suddenly vanished and hadn't caused any trouble!

Why were they now provoking the pursuit of major forces?

Di Tian continued, "That's right, the Holy Spirit Cult, it is said that an individual with unknown identity provided the federation with the exact location of the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters!"

"After investigation, it was confirmed to be true!"

Gu Yuena finally had a revelation, "I see, no wonder there has been such a significant commotion!"

"Intentionally excluding Spirit Pagoda must be because they fear we might collude with the Holy Spirit Cult!"

Now, if Spirit Pagoda and Holy Spirit Cult joined forces, that would be truly formidable!

All the other powers of Soul Land combined might not even be their match!

Di Tian suddenly made a suggestion, "My Lord, in fact, I think we can collaborate with the Holy Spirit Cult..."

After completely taking control of Soul Land, we can then cleanse ourselves of the Holy Spirit Cult!

Spirit Pagoda certainly has the power to do that!

Yet, this statement caused a wave of emotion in Gu Yuena...

"Di Tian, to revitalize the Soul Beast Clan, I am willing to pay any price!"

"But joining hands with the Holy Spirit Cult is absolutely impossible!!"
