With good wine now available, a grand celebration was in order.
Ah, and there were some bothersome individuals who mustn't be allowed to disrupt this.
Following this, Elder Ta urged the power within his body. The Profound Heaven Exquisite Pagoda seemed to react as if under attack, emitting a world-shattering tremor.
Immediately, figures were expelled from the Profound Heaven Exquisite Pagoda.
"Damn... I was picking martial arts and was directly ejected..."
"Holy crap, I just found a suitable martial art... and was kicked out too..."
'What the hell, I vaguely heard something about the Profound Heaven Exquisite Pagoda needing maintenance...'
"+1, I heard it too..."
...
As Jiang Li exited the Profound Heaven Exquisite Pagoda, he saw it suddenly emit a strange light, and then a multitude of disciples from the Primeval Demon Sect were ejected.
These disciples grumbled, clearly quite displeased.
Well, well, this artifact spirit would expel all disciples just for a drink.
Jiang Li truly hadn't expected the artifact spirit to pull off such a maneuver.
However, it was a perfect opportunity to glimpse these disciples' life scripts. Jiang Li's eyes brightened.
[Recent Turning Point]: In three days, at Primeval Demon Sect 444.554, a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb will be obtained...
[Recent Turning Point]: In four days, at Celestial Origin Domain 456.784, one hundred first-grade holy crystals will be obtained...
...
Jiang Li then noted down all the useful recent opportunities among the surrounding disciples.
Following this, Jiang Li, with extreme speed, gathered all the nearby opportunities before returning to the Star Cauldron Palace.
...
Star Cauldron Palace.
After Jiang Li's previous battle with Xia Qingying, his fame had soared, even instilling a sense of pride and belonging among the disciples of the Star Cauldron Palace.
The Star Cauldron Palace now had many unfamiliar faces.
These were individuals who had joined the Star Cauldron Palace out of admiration, including some Saint-level powerhouses.
As Jiang Li walked along the paths of Star Cauldron Peak, many disciples respectfully bowed to him.
"Young Master, you're finally back!" a clear and melodious voice reached Jiang Li's ears.
A peerlessly beautiful woman walked over from not far away, her voice filled with pleasant surprise.
The appearance of this stunning woman caused many disciples to look fearful.
This woman was none other than the Poisonous Empress, Mu Qingyu.
Mu Qingyu paid no heed to the hesitant glances of those around her and walked directly towards Jiang Li.
"Is something the matter?" Jiang Li then asked.
"It's those people from the Supreme Clan, they've come again!" Mu Qingyu naturally linked her arm with Jiang Li's, speaking softly.
It's that Liu Xuan...
"Then let's go and see!" Jiang Li said slowly.
Immediately, the two headed towards the reception hall of the Star Cauldron Palace.
...
In the reception hall of the Star Cauldron Palace.
A tall young man sat in the reception hall, patiently waiting.
After a long while, Jiang Li arrived at the reception hall with Mu Qingyu.
The moment Jiang Li entered the hall, he saw Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan's current cultivation had reached the third heaven of the Saint realm, his aura incredibly potent. It seemed he had not slacked in his cultivation recently.
"Greetings, Young Master!" Upon seeing Jiang Li, Liu Xuan immediately performed a deep bow.
Mu Qingyu's eyes flickered with a strange light.
Does Young Master possess such charm? Even a descendant of a Supreme Clan is so respectful towards him.
Mu Qingyu was well aware of Liu Xuan's background.
The ancestor of the Supreme Clan he belonged to was incredibly powerful, a top-tier great cultivator among the Supremes, whose strength could even rival their Peak Master.
In other words, Liu Xuan's status was quite impressive.
Yet, before Jiang Li, he seemed somewhat subservient.
Mu Qingyu remained silent, merely waiting by the side.
"Young Master, the information regarding Xiao Yun has been largely investigated. He recently became the new Divine Son of the Chaos Holy Land. Furthermore, Divine Maiden Lin..." Liu Xuan then detailed the investigations of the past period to Jiang Li.
This included the progress on Ye Ruoxi's "Chaos Immortal Scripture" and Lin Ziyan's recent situation.
"That woman actually managed to latch onto Xiao Yun..." Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly.
He hadn't expected that woman to have some means. To avenge her son, she would resort to any method.
"Oh, right, Young Master. Xiao Yun has also dispatched two of his followers to cause trouble for you. Those two followers are both peak experts among the Saint Kings, and they have already been secretly eliminated by my Dao Protector!" Liu Xuan added, as if recalling something.
"Are you referring to Liu Feng and Xu Chuanlin?" Mu Qingyu beside him asked, as if remembering something.
Liu Xuan nodded, "It's those two!"
Jiang Li also recalled that when he went to the mining veins, Mu Qingyu had told him that the Chaos Holy Land had sent two individuals to challenge him. As he was in seclusion, they had lingered for a while before leaving.
He hadn't expected them to be dealt with by Liu Xuan.
"Liu Xuan, well done!" Jiang Li smiled slightly, praising him.
Although Jiang Li wasn't afraid of those two, having someone under him handle matters made a difference.
It saved him a lot of trouble.
"It is my honor to alleviate Young Master's worries!" Liu Xuan's face lit up with joy upon hearing Jiang Li's words, and he quickly replied.
Following this, Jiang Li instructed Liu Xuan to pass on a message to Lin Ziyan, asking her to keep an eye out for news of the Chaos Divine Stone.
Afterwards, Liu Xuan departed directly, leaving behind a significant amount of cultivation resources for Jiang Li.
...
In the Star Cauldron Palace.
Mu Qingyu provided Jiang Li with a detailed report on the latest news from the Star Cauldron Palace.
And also major events concerning other main peaks of the Primeval Demon Sect.
"The Young Master recently slew an异灵, and the Peak Master has issued many rewards..."
"The Divine Son of Profound Demon Peak recently broke through to the Great Saint realm, gaining many more followers..."
"The Holy Son of Spiritual Demon Peak encountered an attack from an elder of the Reincarnation Divine Hall in the Celestial Star Sea and was severely injured..."
Jiang Li listened carefully. As a Holy Son of the Primeval Demon Sect, he naturally needed to be aware of such matters.
After a long while, Xia Qingying finished her report.
The Divine Son of the Primeval Demon Sect had actually broken through to the Great Saint realm. Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Primeval Demon Sect truly lived up to its reputation as the top force in the Central Continent, with both its Divine Sons and Divine Maidens being so formidable.
It seemed he needed to accelerate his cultivation.
"By the way, has there been any activity from Xia Qingying's side?" Jiang Li then inquired.
Among the matters Mu Qingyu had just reported, Xia Qingying was not mentioned.
Mu Qingyu shook her head and slowly replied, "After the last battle, Her Highness the Divine Maiden directly went to the Heaven's Radiance Palace and has not shown herself since!"
Cultivating in the Heaven's Radiance Palace?
The Heaven's Radiance Palace was the palace of the Divine Maiden of the Celestial Demon Peak.
It seemed Xia Qingyu was preparing to break through to the Great Saint realm.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, thinking to himself.
