Jiang Li then put away the beast fire.
"What are you doing here?" As soon as Jiang Li put away the beast fire, he heard a crisp voice from beside him.
Jiang Li looked towards the source of the sound. It was the peerlessly beautiful witch Tang Siqi, dressed in a black dress, staring intently at Tang Hai.
At this moment, Tang Siqi showed no trace of coquetry or cold detachment, only a profound indifference.
Tang Hai's wrinkled face immediately broke into a smile. "Siqi, I've come to see my little friend!"
Tang Siqi didn't speak and then walked over to Jiang Li's side.
"Jiang Li is mine. If you dare to harm him, I will never forgive you!" Tang Siqi said coldly, her expression filled with frost.
Jiang Li looked at Tang Siqi standing before him and shrugged. Tang Siqi had told him before that she had a bad relationship with her father.
Now, it seemed not just bad, but utterly terrible.
As soon as Tang Siqi spoke, Tang Hai's face changed slightly. He then sighed softly and said, "I'm just here to chat with little friend Jiang Li, there's no ill intent!"
"Junior Brother Jiang, is that so?" Tang Siqi then slowly turned around, looking at Jiang Li with concern.
Jiang Li nodded, indicating that it was indeed so.
Seeing Jiang Li nod, Tang Hai also let out a heavy sigh of relief and felt a bit more favorably towards Jiang Li.
He, Tang Hai, feared nothing and no one, except for this daughter of his...
"Hmph, Junior Brother Jiang, let's go!" Tang Siqi then directly pulled Jiang Li and left.
Leaving Tang Hai alone at the spot.
...
A beautifully scenic jungle on Ling Yuan Peak.
Tang Siqi and Jiang Li walked slowly through the jungle.
A faint fragrance permeated the surroundings.
Tang Siqi held Jiang Li's arm, and the two walked leisurely through the jungle.
"Master, my father is not a good person. It's best to interact with him less in the future. However, with me here, he shouldn't dare to do anything to you!" Tang Siqi said slowly, her expression complex.
Jiang Li rubbed Tang Siqi's head and gently embraced her.
There were things Tang Siqi didn't want to say, and Jiang Li didn't force her.
Feeling the strong heartbeat in Jiang Li's chest, Tang Siqi felt a sense of security.
The two embraced quietly, enjoying a moment of peace.
"Swish!!!"
Suddenly, the ring on Tang Siqi's right hand flashed with light.
"Siqi, is there something important?" Jiang Li asked softly, looking at the ring on Tang Siqi's delicate hand.
Tang Siqi hugged Jiang Li tightly.
"Master, it's nothing. The message you wanted to spread has already gone out!" Tang Siqi then said.
As soon as Tang Siqi finished speaking, Jiang Li's eyes were filled with joy.
It turned out that Jiang Li had previously asked Tang Siqi to find a group of trustworthy people.
To spread the news that the Demon Cloud Quasi-Emperor from 100 years ago had been reborn as a disciple of the Tai Xuan Holy Land.
Now that the message had been released, Ye Tian should soon receive enthusiastic attention.
"Are the people you found reliable?" Jiang Li continued to ask.
Jiang Li did not want it to be known that he was the one who spread the message. He didn't want Ye Tian to know that he was the one who spread the message, leading him to go berserk and directly target him.
Although Jiang Li was not afraid of Ye Tian, it was better to avoid such trouble if possible.
Tang Siqi lightly kissed Jiang Li's neck and then said, "Don't worry, besides me, everyone who knew about this is already dead!"
Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction. Nothing was more reliable than dead people.
Ye Tian, I hope you like the gift I've prepared for you...
...
The Saint Son selection also ended not long after.
The new Saint Son of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect was a cultivator named Li Dongze, who was at the first level of the Spiritual River realm.
His talent and strength were no less than the previous Saint Son, even stronger than Li Xinyuan. Moreover, he possessed the Blood Fiend Body, allowing him to absorb Blood Fiend energy to enhance his power.
And due to the presence of Blood Fiend energy, his combat power was also exceptionally formidable.
After the Saint Son selection was completed, Jiang Li went out to collect some minor opportunities.
Jiang Li also obtained the opportunity of a three-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine from the White Bone Yin Sect, which had been sought by that Saint Son candidate.
There were countless other major and minor opportunities.
Especially now that Jiang Li had broken through to the Spiritual River realm and mastered the "Kun Peng Treasure Technique," his speed of collecting opportunities had skyrocketed.
In just one day, he had collected most of the opportunities he had seen during the Saint Son selection.
Jiang Li's spatial ring was once again filled with spiritual herbs and various treasures.
The resources consumed during his breakthrough to the Spiritual River realm were all replenished.
Not only that, but after spending a massive amount of spirit stones, Jiang Li finally obtained the Ling Huo Crystal and Yang Yan Liquid required to cultivate the second level of the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra."
...
In a secret chamber of Saintess Peak.
In a pool filled with Yang Ji liquid.
At the bottom of the pool, many Ling Huo Crystals released terrifying fire-attribute essence.
A scorching heat almost permeated the entire secret chamber.
Surging heatwaves filled Jiang Li's entire body.
The "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" within Jiang Li's body slowly circulated.
Before long, a phantom phoenix emerged from Jiang Li's body.
After its appearance, the phantom phoenix circled around Jiang Li, slowly absorbing the surrounding fire-attribute essence.
As the phantom absorbed more and more, it became increasingly solid, and immensely powerful energy rippled within it.
"Screech!!!"
Two days later.
A low phoenix cry sounded.
It seemed as if a fire phoenix was flowing within Jiang Li's body.
The second level of the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" was finally mastered.
Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to be burning with fierce flames.
Next, he would prepare to devour this beast fire, hoping it would help his cultivation break through a little.
Immediately, Jiang Li took out the beast fire gifted by Tang Hai, along with numerous spiritual herbs and heavenly treasures, and began to refine them.
...
Eastern Wasteland.
Valley of Death.
The Valley of Death is located in the southernmost part of the Eastern Wasteland.
It is a place filled with extreme danger everywhere.
Countless cultivators of the Sea of Souls have perished here.
Even many powerful beings of the Life and Death realm have bled here.
This is an extremely terrifying forbidden zone in the Eastern Wasteland.
In a forest several hundred miles west of the Valley of Death.
The forest was filled with towering trees, their green canopies almost obscuring the entire sky.
A young man wearing a black robe had an extremely grim expression, with blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.
The young man's aura was extremely chaotic, as if he had suffered a severe impact.
"Demon Emperor, it's safe here for now!" A ball of dense black smoke hovered beside the young man.
The black smoke slowly coalesced into a small beast with a ferocious face.
"Damn it, my rebirth has been exposed. What rotten luck! If I find out who leaked it, I will forge their soul with demonic fire for all eternity!" the young man said fiercely.
