Chapter 1926 - 1909: Checking the Spoils

Facing the puzzled looks from everyone, Xiao Ye calmly explained the cause and effect.

Of course, he concealed the fact that the Time Great Saint had awakened and provided him with Holy-grade Power, only mentioning that Qiu Ren and Bai Wuliu planned to assassinate him, but ended up being besieged by numerous Demon Clan experts and ultimately met their demise. However, the Spirit Flower that had been shattered saved Qiu Ren, whom he intended to bring back for Yi Tianzhou to deal with.

"Qiu Ren and Bai Wuliu were really shameless, they deserved to die!"

After listening to Xiao Ye’s account, Ghost Fire and the others were not only astonished but also filled with fury.

During the task to eliminate the Demon Emperor’s son, the actions of these two had already made them disdainful, yet Qiu Ren had even hidden a portion of Holy-grade Power to deal with Xiao Ye.

Naturally, they harbored no significant doubts about Xiao Ye’s words.

Given Xiao Ye’s current strength, there was no need for deceit, especially since their actions would likely incur punishment from the Taixu Great Saint upon return.

In an instant, those who had been swayed by the two to consider attacking Xiao Ye during the Witch Saint’s interception felt a powerful tremor in their hearts, their faces turning pale.

Though Xiao Ye spoke casually, even a fool would realize that Qiu Ren and Bai Wuliu’s outcome was undeniably linked to Xiao Ye.

Considering Xiao Ye’s strength, if he sought to settle accounts, they would be unable to resist!

Xiao Ye glanced around coldly, then withdrew his gaze with a chuckle.

He wasn’t the type to hold grudges unnecessarily; besides, Qiu Ren and Bai Wuliu had already received their due punishment, leaving him unwilling to delve further into matters with these people.

"The Primordial Great World is far from tranquil; countless Demon Saints have been mobilized by the Demon Clan, and I’ve heard even the Taixu Great Saint has arrived. We should hurry and leave," Ghost Fire suggested.

Immediately, everyone nodded in agreement.

On their way here, they had clashed with Demon Clan experts countless times, with most of them sustaining damage to their Spirit Rank Origin, nearly falling. Naturally, they wished to leave quickly.

"Is this the node of the Great Realm Chaos Array?"

Xiao Ye surveyed the scene, noticing that the celestial skies enveloped by a strange and immense power had become warped, forming a deep rift that appeared quite concealed and integrated with the Universe.

Shush, shush, shush!

Xiao Ye and Ghost Fire took the lead, directly entering the rift. Immediately, the vast Great Realm Chaos Array appeared before them.

Entering the array and traveling through its passage, they flew for half a year, passing through a tremendous Light Gate, and finally returned to the Void Great Realm.

"Finally, we are back!"

"Haha, this time we truly survived by the skin of our teeth!"

"I wonder what rewards we will receive!"

"We’ll find out when the Taixu Great Saint returns."

...

As they gazed upon the familiar First Layer Heaven, everyone let out cries of excitement.

Especially Jiu Xiao, who felt as if ages had passed.

Having neither the strength of the Ten Great Experts nor Holy-grade Power, returning alive was truly a miraculous feat.

"Without reaching the Holy Rank, one remains an ant." Xiao Ye also mused.

Throughout this Great Realm Task, he realized how terrifying Holy Rank Experts were; his own strength, relative to the entire Three Thousand Great Realms, remained minuscule.

Undoubtedly, other Great Realms possess numerous formidable and exceptional Spirit Rank Experts.

Such as the super genius Witch Saint from the Witch Clan.

Whether he could defeat them if facing them without the Quasi-Saint Artifact remains unknown.

"Xiao Ye, if possible, I hope to seek advice on Martial Arts from you one day."

At this moment, the graceful Gu Shuling approached, her crimson eyes fixed tightly on Xiao Ye, glinting with intrigue.

"Sure, if the opportunity arises, I shall not decline," Xiao Ye smiled slightly.

He held a favorable impression of Gu Shuling.

Although Gu Shuling appeared aloof and reserved outwardly, Xiao Ye discerned she was quite compassionate. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stopped Bai Wuliu from utilizing Holy-grade Power against him in the past.

Gu Shuling nodded, then vanished into the celestial sky with a graceful swish.

"Brother Xiao, Gu Shuling is famously known as a battle maniac in our Taixu Saint Realm. Over the years, she has repeatedly challenged me; it seems she’s now fixated on you."

The cadaverous middle-aged man Ghost Fire smiled wryly.

Though he’d avoided Gu Shuling’s repeated challenges, Xiao Ye appeared to replace his position.

As the current foremost expert in the Taixu Saint Realm!

"Oh?"

"I didn’t realize Gu Shuling was a battle maniac," Xiao Ye touched his nose.

Returning to the Taixu Saint Realm, everyone departed for secluded rehabilitation.

As for Xiao Ye, he found an Ancient Star to suppress the sealed Qiu Ren beneath its surface, then took out Qiu Ren and Bai Wuliu’s Space Rings.

"Wow, this guy has so many rare Cosmic Spiritual Treasures!"

After inspecting all of Bai Wuliu’s Space Rings, Xiao Ye was astonished by the pile of various Cosmic Spiritual Treasures resembling a small mountain.

Any Cosmic Spiritual Treasure here would be extremely scarce in the First Layer Heaven, with surging energies at their peak; even two rivaling the Thunder Spirit Turtle Gall.

In addition, several scrolls of First-class Spiritual Methods were present, but Xiao Ye was uninterested, instead examining Qiu Ren’s Space Ring.

As the new Dan Venerable, Qiu Ren undoubtedly possessed numerous Spirit Pills.

"So many Spirit Pills!"

Upon checking, Xiao Ye’s jaw dropped.

Qiu Ren’s nine Space Rings contained at least one hundred thousand Spirit Pills, with diverse varieties, dazzling Xiao Ye’s vision.

"What is this?"

Suddenly, Xiao Ye’s gaze tightened as he waved his palm, revealing three round Elixirs floating in mid-air, which he caught.

These were three deep-blue Elixirs, each resembling a dragon eye, without leaking any energy, yet exuding a transcendent aura.

"These three Spirit Pills are certainly extraordinary!"

Xiao Ye thought to himself.

"Huh?"

"I didn’t expect that in a place like the Taixu Saint Realm, someone could concoct the Fantian Spirit Pill." Suddenly, the Time Rain Stone emitted the voice of the surprised Time Great Saint.

With the acquisition of the second Time Rain Stone, the Time Great Saint’s essence gradually recovered, infused with Holy Might in each word.

"Fantian Spirit Pill?"

Xiao Ye’s heart stir, finally recalling.

During the return of the Ten Great Experts last time, Qiu Ren was too occupied with concocting Spirit Pills to attend to him, and the pill was indeed named Fantian.

Given Qiu Ren secluding himself for years to forge this Spirit Pill, its significance was undoubtedly profound.

"Xiao Ye, this Fantian Spirit Pill is fairly impressive; it can directly accelerate the process of Spirit Flower’s fruiting, which will aid you greatly when you breakthrough to Spirit Rank Peak."

Before Xiao Ye could inquire further, the Time Great Saint elaborated.

"Accelerate the process of the Spirit Flower fruiting?" Xiao Ye’s face beamed with exquisite delight.

Breaking through from Spirit Rank Peak to Holy Rank, the greatest hurdle was the Spirit Flower bearing the Holy Fruit, and these three Spirit Pills wielded such an effect—truly striking fortune at this moment.
