Mo Wuyang had clearly prepared well in advance. He had thoroughly scouted all the Demon Beast lairs along the Sacred Martial Dynasty's border.
Under his guidance, Chen Shi'an swept through the mountain forests, killing six Demon Beasts by around dusk.
Although their ranks were low-five were rank one and one was rank two-they filled Mo Wuyang's belly, and he returned to Windrise Stronghold in a wonderful mood.

However, Chen Shi'an's cultivation was already infinitely close to the fourth grade late stage, so he could use the power of these Demon Cores to try breaking through the bottleneck.
Soon, all six Demon Cores had been refined.
Unfortunately, his cultivation did not break through and remained at the fourth grade middle stage.
