Li Qingyuan's Selfish Motives!

Boundless Peak, Eighth Branch Peak.

The third Seventh-Tier Spirit Vein cave dwelling. Cultivating in such a Blessed Land truly yielded astonishing speed.

Within the Spirit Gathering Formation, Li Qingyuan circulated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, rapidly channeling Heaven and Earth Vital Energy. Every pore across his body greedily swallowed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, forming a spiritual cloud vortex a hundred zhang wide.

Across the vast cave dwelling, one hundred-zhang vortices rose one after another.

Old Zhao was devouring the still-unconsumed Spirit Transformation souls within the Soul Refining Banner, absorbing the essence of their souls to strengthen himself. The Golden Thunder Bamboo Worm Soul Slave and Long Xiao Soul Slave assisted him in cultivating the Ghost Annihilation Blade.

Old Zhao erupted with towering ghostly qi, demonic qi shooting into the heavens. His Ghost Path Cultivation Method advanced by leaps and bounds, while his Artifact Spirit Body continuously transformed as it charged toward the Mid Void Refining Stage.

Ji Kun's Devouring Bloodline erupted. As a Sky Swallowing Chicken at Early Void Refining Stage Completion—a pureblood Sky Swallowing Chicken—it resembled the ferocious First Generation Sky Swallowing Chicken of ancient times. Its cultivation was incomparably domineering, constantly draining everything within a hundred zhang as Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy gathered from all around.

The Second Yuan Clone and the Flame Dragon Flood Dragon had their hundred-zhang domains continuously expanding. They were absorbing and refining the Immortal Beast Soul Crystals Li Qingyuan had seized after killing "Long Aotian."

Eight Extreme Dao Soul Crystals, several hundred Top-tier Soul Crystals, three thousand Soul Transformation Heavenly Monarch-level Soul Crystals, and nearly ten thousand ordinary Immortal Beast Soul Crystals.

At this very moment, all these Soul Crystals were being madly absorbed by the Second Yuan Clone and the Flame Dragon Flood Dragon.

Almost simultaneously, at Heaven Pillar Mountain
