CHAPTER 353: CHAPTER 21: THE CARAVAN, PURPLE BUTTERFLY DOMAIN_3

They had purple wings growing on their backs but couldn’t fly; these purple wings were used to attract Purple Butterflies. To cultivate, they needed to continuously sense the Life Aura of each Purple Butterfly, primarily following the Life Dao, similar to the Dao Chen Jiuge cultivated, just in a different direction.

The huge Shura Flying Boat descended upon the tranquil Purple Butterfly Domain.

As the Clan Leader of the Purple Butterfly Clan, Purple Clothes, along with all Immortal Cultivators of the clan, respectfully greeted them below the Flying Boat.

Chen Jiuge looked at Luo Wencheng, who had returned after delivering the notification, and curiously asked, "Is the strongest cultivator in the Purple Butterfly Clan only a Heavenly Immortal?"

Luo Wencheng paused for a moment, then pulled out a thick book, skimmed through it, and said, "This is one of the first clans to pledge allegiance to our Asura Clan."

"Originally, their strongest member was merely a True Immortal. With our protection, they’ve been able to develop safely, and now they have multiple Heavenly Immortals."

After hearing this rather unhelpful introduction, Chen Jiuge decided not to ask Luo Wencheng about such matters anymore. This group of Asuras is only good for fighting, not for being assistants.

"Greetings, Divine Son. I am Purple Clothes, Clan Leader of the Purple Butterfly Clan."

Watching Purple Clothes kneeling, Chen Jiuge felt a bit uneasy and said, "Please rise. I don’t like people kneeling to me."

Purple Clothes rose upon hearing this.

Looking at the delicately featured Purple Clothes before him, Chen Jiuge muttered with some regret, "Such a beauty, it’s a pity you’re so short."

"Clan Leader Purple Clothes, first, have someone arrange accommodations for the people I brought. Also, compile information about the vicinity of the Purple Butterfly Domain for me to review."

"Divine Son, what kind of information do you require?"

"The distribution of surrounding factions, their strengths, the resources they produce, and the powers backing them. The more detailed, the better."

"Understood."

...

As the Clan Leader of the Purple Butterfly Clan, Purple Clothes was quite capable. In just a short while, she had arranged accommodations for all the Asuras.

Inside the purple hall, Chen Jiuge watched a Purple Butterfly perched on his finger, his expression clouded with worry.

I’m going to meet people from the Myriad Beasts Sect soon, which naturally makes me very happy. But how should I explain this to the Asura Clan? Especially since I’ve already received so many benefits from them, it wouldn’t be right to just run off.

Moreover, given the Asura Clan’s nature, if I were to flee, they would probably dispatch troops to attack the Heavenly Realm Sect directly. That would truly leave me as an enemy to both sides.

Is there any way to achieve the best of both worlds?

A strong, sweet fragrance suddenly wafted over, causing Chen Jiuge to sneeze involuntarily. He realized it came from a large amount of purple powder that had fallen from the wings of the Purple Butterfly on his finger.

Chen Jiuge chuckled to himself. Strengthening its Bloodline without even thinking... it’s really become a habit. Whenever I see a Spiritual Beast, I just want to enhance it.

"Consider yourself lucky," he murmured to the butterfly.

Purple Butterflies, as Spiritual Beasts that coexisted with the Purple Butterfly Clan, were not of a high Grade. Their chances of becoming immortal were actually quite low. However, because insect-type Spiritual Beasts reproduced rapidly, given their sheer numbers, quite a few True Immortal Level Spiritual Beasts still emerged.

As its other, impure Bloodlines were devoured, the Purple Butterfly before him doubled in size. Its two pairs of purple wings flapped gently, stirring up a purple mist and making it look like a creature from a dream.

Affectionately nudging Chen Jiuge’s palm, the enhanced Purple Butterfly fluttered its wings, showing off to the other Purple Butterflies in the hall.

This scene improved Chen Jiuge’s mood. Indeed, beautiful things are the best balm for the soul.

I won’t dwell on it. Let’s wait until they arrive to discuss it. I can’t be entirely blamed for the current situation, after all.

This purple hall was actually the residence of Clan Leader Purple Clothes, specially vacated for Chen Jiuge’s arrival.

In the room, which was filled with a feminine aura, Chen Jiuge looked at the small purple bed—only about 1.5 meters long—and said helplessly, "Is this a cradle?"

"I actually think it’s quite nice," Yue Meng said earnestly as she pounced onto the soft little bed and rolled over.

"Then you can have it."

After Chen Jiuge found a fairly spacious room and settled in, Purple Clothes hurried over with the compiled information.

"My Lord, this is the information I’ve compiled on short notice. More detailed intelligence will take a little longer," Purple Clothes said respectfully, handing over a stack of Jade Scrolls.

"Mm, let me take a look first."

...

The area around the Purple Butterfly Domain was mostly populated by Loose Cultivators; the only true power to speak of was the Infinite Snake Clan.

The Purple Butterfly Domain contained only flowers, Purple Butterflies, and some small animals. For the Infinite Snake Clan, such creatures weren’t worth hunting. Additionally, they were aware of the Purple Butterfly Clan’s backing—knowing they were a vassal clan of the Asura Clan—so they coexisted peacefully.

In contrast, scattered groups of Loose Cultivators would occasionally sneak in to secretly capture Purple Butterflies and members of the Purple Butterfly Clan. The Purple Butterflies could be used for cultivation, while the clan members could be sold for Spirit Stones.

If the Infinite Snake Clan didn’t occasionally enter the territories of those Loose Cultivators to hunt them, the poaching situation within the Purple Butterfly Domain would be even more severe.

Since I’m already here, I might as well achieve something first.

Taking out a Communication Stone, Chen Jiuge sent a message to Luo Wencheng. Soon after, Luo Wencheng arrived at the hall.

Waving his hand to disperse the clinging Purple Butterflies, Luo Wencheng said nonchalantly, "Divine Son, are we preparing for war? Who are we attacking? It seems the strongest nearby is just the Infinite Snake Clan. They’re descendants of the Infinite Snake. If we slaughter them all and attract that old relic’s attention, I’m afraid I might not be able to handle it!"
