A Gift Even Creation True Monarchs Would Favor

Upon hearing this, Ying Potian fell into a suffocating silence.

His throat bobbed, his mind almost completely blank from the shock of the news!

Peak of the Divine Connection Realm?!

Or is he a peak Divine Connection Realm cultivator with less than twenty years of cultivation experience?!

How exactly are these words combined to form a sentence?!

A deathly silence enveloped the two grand halls, which were separated by more than ten thousand miles.

However, as shocking as it may be...

As the Ziwei Hall oversees the overall situation,

The moment he came to his senses, he immediately asked:

"Where is he now? Is he still inside the Royal City Heavenly Supervision Department?!"

"It's still here." Tian Qingwu nodded.

"Keep him here!"

Ying Potian's voice suddenly became louder, completely lacking his previous composure. Even the cup of tea in front of him, meant to calm his nerves, trembled slightly. "There are still Great Demon lurking within the Central Continent. For safety's sake, we absolutely cannot let him leave the royal city. We will give him whatever he wants!"

"Has the Central Plains Director of the Celestial Observatory, which went out to provide assistance, returned?"

"Getting back now." Tian Qingwu nodded again, his expression slightly relaxed.

Once the other party arrives at the royal city, and given her past as Creation Realm, she will surely be able to make this place impregnable.

"That's good..."

Ying Potian rubbed his forehead, trying his best to calm his thoughts, and then said in as calm a tone as possible:

"Seal off the royal city immediately! After I have settled things here briefly, I will return to the Central Continent Royal City within three days!"

Such a young person at the peak of the Divine Connection Realm is simply an opportunity bestowed upon the Divine Continent by the heavens!

Even if the Northern Continent temporarily loses power, it's worth it as long as we can protect it!

He was indeed the knowledgeable Ziwei Hall, but even in his lifetime, he had never seen a cultivator with such talent.

Not to mention it's right in front of you, alive and well.

Unless it's a misrepresentation, then this is someone destined to surpass him, and he must be protected no matter what.

Besides, what unexpected things could possibly happen?

In the history he knew so well, the Taiqing Dao Tablet had never contained the slightest error, let alone in such a basic matter!

"Over the years, while defending against countless demons outside the Northern Continent, I have basically figured out who that True Lord Great Demon lurking in the Central Continent is."

Ying Potian exhaled deeply, his voice revealing a chilling Killing Intent: "True Lord Jiuyin at the third level of Creation."

"It hasn't appeared for hundreds of years. Although a powerful Great Demon skilled in disguise appeared in its form along the way, it couldn't fool my eyes."

"That's most likely it."

Upon hearing this, Tian Qingwu remained silent for a moment before replying:

"If you only have a third-level Creation Realm cultivator, you can continue to guard the Northern Continent. With the Central Continent's Director of the Celestial Observatory and me, we can still suppress a Great Demon at the third level of Creation Realm. But if the Northern Continent loses you..."

"No!" Ying Potian shook his head and refused outright.

"We can't afford this loss! Furthermore, go and tell the elders of each faction right now who dares to interfere at this time—"

The moment he stood up, the jade pendant at his waist, a symbol of their covenant, turned to dust.

"Then I'll send them to fill the void in the Southern Continent's Guixu Sea Eye!!"

Before Hall Master Tian could offer any advice, he continued:

"Do as I say! You all defend the royal city to the death. Even if that True Lord Jiuyin takes the opportunity to attack, it doesn't matter! Ye Li's safety is the most important thing!"

"We'll discuss other matters when I get back..."

He paused, then asked, "How many people know that Ye Li is at the peak of the Divine Connection Realm?"

"Besides myself and a few high-ranking officials within the department, only the group of prodigies who participated in the [Five Continents War] know about it."

Ying Potian nodded slightly, seemingly relaxing a little, and said:

"Then execute that traitor within the Royal City's Heavenly Supervision Department! This matter must not be allowed to reach the Land of Ten Thousand Demons!"

At the same time.

In the shadows of the West Corner Tower, a deacon who was copying documents suddenly froze.

He slowly raised his head.

Upon gazing upon the Vast Azure True Water flowing within the sleeves of the Master of Purple Cloud Cave, his pupils instinctively dilated. "I am..."

Laugh!

The moment the divine Divine Water of Laws pierced through his brow, all the bookworms in the entire Book Repository exploded and died simultaneously!

[Slayed Breath Concealing Gu Worm at the fifth level of the Heaven and Earth Realm in the Land of Ten Thousand Demons! Malice Points +5000!]

On the path leading to the backyard.

Ye Li subtly gathered the soul responsible for finishing off the matter back into his body and directly browsed through the Memory Scroll of this Demon Race clan steward in his mind.

He quickly confirmed the existence of the lurking Great Demon.

True Lord Jiuyin, Great Demon of the Creation Realm.

It belongs to the [Land of Ten Thousand Demons] outside of the Northern Continent.

It's normal to have no clue whereabouts or whereabouts of a superior; it would be strange if a subordinate could find out the whereabouts of their superior.

[Current Malice Points: Points]

The reason for killing this little demon now, besides the idea of collecting some Malice Points, is...

Another reason is that, based on the reactions of those around him, Ye Li has basically confirmed his own attractiveness.

It's terrifying.

There's a good chance we can lure that Great Demon out, or at least make it want to give it a try.

In that case, we must plan ahead.

Although [Good Fortune Avoids Calamity] can help him foresee potential crises, he should not completely lose his vigilance because of it.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Ye Li even scattered the souls he possessed throughout various parts of Central Continent in advance.

If the situation changes, use Rook Exchange to instantly escape the battlefield and make a quick getaway.

After all, they had never fought Great Demon at the Creation Realm before, so they had to show some respect before confirming the exact difference in strength between them.

"Fellow Daoist Ye."

Suddenly, Ying Xuanji, who was standing beside him, spoke. The fingertips of this Seventh Star Lord, who was crowned with the [Creation Seed], were trembling slightly beneath her sleeves.

The shock still lingers in my heart.

She had intended to ask the other person about their insights into spiritual practice.

But when the words reached his lips, they came out differently. "After the Five Continents War ends, where do you plan to go?"

"Go to the Western Continent to ask the Palace Master of the [Blazing Heaven Flame Palace] something."

Ye Li did not hide anything. In any case, if Palace Master Jiang was unwilling to cooperate, he would not be able to keep it a secret even if he wanted to.

The commotion was too great.

Ying Xuanji nodded slightly, not pursuing the topic further, as if she had only asked casually.

He simply reminded her, "I've also heard of that Palace Master Jiang. As one of the few Creation True Monarch in the Western Continent, her reputation is at the Western Continent zenith."

"But I also heard that because of the fall of the Western Continent, she has a very bad impression of the Heavenly Supervision Department and the Demon Suppression Department."

"While we wouldn't necessarily turn on each other with swords when we met on ordinary days, our attitude was by no means friendly."

She lowered her gaze and swept it over the Supreme Seal hanging at the boy's waist, instructing him:

"If you need anything from her, remember to prepare some generous gifts, lest you be turned away."

"I see."

Ye Li's expression shifted slightly, but he calmly agreed, "Don't worry, I'll make her satisfied."

It's always a good idea to try diplomacy first, then resort to force.

The 100% positive reviews to date speak for themselves.

"That's fine."

Ying Xuanji had no suspicions and directly withdrew her gaze.

"You have great talent."

After a brief silence, she spoke again, her tone unusually wistful. "In thousands of years, this is the first time I've seen a cultivator with talent far surpassing mine... and by more than a fraction."

"It's normal to feel envious."

"Normal..." Ying Xuanji frowned slightly. "What if it's even stronger than envy?"

Ye Li scoffed, "That's just jealousy."

"..."

Listening to the other person's confident, even arrogant, tone.

Ying Xuanji inexplicably hardened her fist, yet felt a sense of powerlessness that she couldn't refute.

She had initially intended to recruit him into the palace, but now it seems that the Ziwei Hall is the one begging him to join!

She gazed at the boy's long shadow cast by the setting sun, and suddenly realized that the shadow had completely enveloped her own silhouette.

But the Star Lord still tried to calm himself down.

It's alright, everyone is not too far from the Creation Realm right now.

I still have a chance...

Soon, as the two continued their journey...

A backyard came into view.
