Jiang Li's Star Saint Crystal continuously released pure spiritual energy.
The air was filled with surging spiritual energy storms.
Jiang Li's body was like a giant black hole, constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
Besides the Star Saint Crystal, Jiang Li also had many heavenly treasures around him.
These were all collected by Jiang Li during this time, and Du Qingrou had also provided a lot.
As time slowly passed, Jiang Li's cultivation realm was gradually increasing.
After a while, a terrifying aura flowed through Jiang Li's body.
The bottleneck of the Saint King Triple Heaven had finally been broken by Jiang Li.
An extremely majestic aura flowed through Jiang Li's body, and the power within him increased by a large margin.
With the breakthrough of the bottleneck, Jiang Li's realm had already reached the Saint King Fourth Heaven.
As expected, reaching the Saint King realm, it was impossible to improve quickly.
Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with helplessness.
It had taken seven days to break through the bottleneck, which was too difficult.
The situation where he broke through multiple realms in one cultivation session, like before, was completely gone.
Even with the enhancement of the Heaven Swallowing Divine Body, it was not possible to break through quickly.
Unless he possessed top-tier heavenly treasures.
Furthermore, Jiang Li had fused too many powerful physiques, and his foundation was incredibly strong. Each breakthrough required several times, or even more than ten times, the resources of those at the same level.
If he didn't have the Heaven Swallowing Divine Body, Jiang Li wouldn't know how long it would take him to break through.
However, Jiang Li's breakthrough speed was already much faster than others.
For ordinary Saint Kings, without opportunities, it might take several years, or even decades, to break through one level.
Those with insufficient talent might even have no possibility of further breakthroughs.
It seemed that he still had to keep seizing opportunities, Jiang Li shook his head.
Although it was already fast compared to others, Jiang Li was still not satisfied.
He had to be faster...
Immediately after, Jiang Li suppressed his thoughts and continued to absorb the terrifying spiritual energy around him.
The Samsara Immortal Scripture and the Heaven Swallowing Divine Body were operated to their extreme by Jiang Li.
Constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
Jiang Li's Saint King Fourth Heaven realm was also continuously consolidating and improving.
The secret chamber was also filled with many spiritual energy storms.
Half a month later, Jiang Li finally reached the peak of the Saint King Fourth Heaven.
And it was extremely stable, with extremely thick Saint Yuan.
Most of the power of the Star Saint Crystal had been consumed by Jiang Li, and the surrounding resources had also been absorbed by about 80-90%.
It seemed that this Star Saint Crystal could only support him to break through to the Saint King Fifth Heaven at most.
After that, he would have to find other treasures.
However, it was time to go out now. After reaching the peak of the Saint King Fourth Heaven.
Jiang Li felt that it would take a considerable amount of time for him to break through the bottleneck.
And the Saint Crystal competition should be about to begin.
It was time for him to leave.
Immediately after, Jiang Li left the secret chamber.
Du Qingrou was in the Dragon Palace handling some affairs of the Flood Dragon clan.
After Jiang Li came out, he naturally put everything else aside and spent more time in intimacy with Jiang Li.
...
In the boudoir of the Dragon Palace.
There were traces of disarray after a storm.
After multiple rounds of battle, Du Qingrou was already extremely exhausted.
She had no strength left in her body and was easily subdued by Jiang Li.
"Young Master, some time ago, people from the Samsara Divine Hall appeared in the Heavenly Star Sea. The True Dragon clan and the people from the Samsara Divine Hall engaged in fierce combat over the sea area of the Heavenly Star Sea!" Du Qingrou said to Jiang Li in the boudoir of the Dragon Palace.
People from the Samsara Divine Hall!
And they fought with the True Dragon clan.
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed. He recalled the True Dragon of the Quasi-Emperor realm who had been suppressed in that sea area before.
That bloody hand was terrifying. Even a True Dragon of the Quasi-Emperor level was easily suppressed.
Could it be related to that incident?
"Do you know the reason?" Jiang Li gently asked, feeling the warmth in his embrace.
The boudoir was filled with luxurious decorations everywhere.
There was also an incense burner emitting a faint fragrance not far away.
Making the entire boudoir filled with an alluring scent.
Du Qingrou blinked her eyes and then said softly, "Young Master, the battle at that time was too fierce. Top cultivators at the Great Venerable level were fighting. No one dared to approach!"
Jiang Li nodded. Great Venerable level cultivators' attacks could destroy heaven and earth with every move.
Ordinary cultivators had no possibility of approaching at all.
Even if they got close, they would be torn apart by those terrifying attacks and lose their lives.
It seemed that he had to be extremely careful with the matter of the Saint Crystal vein.
He could not afford to capsize here.
Immediately after, Du Qingrou continued to tell Jiang Li some matters about the Eastern Star Sea region.
"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"
As the two continued to chat, Jiang Li's spatial ring suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.
A message from the Primordial Demon Sect had arrived.
Jiang Li's heart stirred, and he took out the token of the Primordial Demon Sect.
It was a grayish-white jade pendant that was vibrating continuously.
Jiang Li slowly activated the message on it.
"Jiang Li, rush back to Falling Star Island within three days of receiving this message!" A message entered Jiang Li's mind.
It seemed that the matter of the Saint Crystal vein was about to begin.
Jiang Li's heart moved, and he immediately made a guess.
Since that was the case, he would go back and see the top prodigies of other forces.
And also, the Divine Son of the Chaos Holy Land, Xiao Yun.
Jiang Li had not yet met the Divine Son of the Chaos Holy Land. This Saint Crystal competition would likely be an opportunity to do so.
"Young Master, are you leaving?" Du Qingrou said to Jiang Li beside her with a look of disappointment.
Jiang Li nodded and gently stroked Du Qingrou's hair, "Yes, I'm leaving. I'll come back to find you when I have time!"
Du Qingrou nodded heavily.
After another period of intimacy, Du Qingrou no longer tried to keep Jiang Li and let him leave.
...
Heavenly Star Sea.
Eastern Star Sea Region.
Falling Star Island.
The surrounding waves continuously crashed against the beach.
The sea breeze permeated the entire island, and a humid atmosphere could be felt everywhere.
A palace filled with spiritual energy in the center of the island.
In the hall of the palace, there were many powerful cultivators. They sat on both sides of the hall with solemn expressions.
In the center of the hall was a middle-aged man with a pair of dragon horns on his head.
"Our True Dragon clan will not participate in this Saint Crystal competition. However, we will need 10% of the mined Saint Crystals. As for the rest, you can decide among yourselves!" the middle-aged man with dragon horns said coldly.
