Did Well

Outside the sealing formation.

The Xianjing Continent experts who had come to observe had already accepted the horrifying fact that someone was gulping down the refinement energy like a whale. Though it was absurd and utterly unrealistic, if it was the work of Cao Ming, the Cosmic Birth Venerable, then it was not entirely incomprehensible.

The Fire God Valley Lord's expression gradually eased.

If that was the case, then even if Gu Le failed to claim first place, he would not be too embarrassed.

After so many years of operation, it was only natural that this Prefect of Xianjing Continent had conducted some research into the Jade Mountain Refinement. As for whether this also carried the intention of putting them in their place, no one could say.

But honestly, for factions like theirs that lacked a Venerable overseeing them, such "discipline" was not truly necessary.

If one had to name someone, then only the Xuanming Sword Sect, which had a Venerable seated within it, needed to pay extra attention.

Besides, the Sword Sect had been enjoying the limelight lately. If anyone was to be put in their place, it should be them—it had not half a coin's worth to do with Fire God Valley.

Sure enough.

That Law Enforcement Elder of the Xuanming Sword Sect was already unable to sit still. His eyelids twitched slightly as he spoke coolly to the middle-aged man in green robes:

"I never expected the Nine Luminaries Division to be hiding such a trump card. No wonder you invited us here to observe. I simply wonder what relation this prodigy who swallowed up the refinement energy has to you?"

Though the formation prevented them from sensing the exact situation inside, merely distinguishing auras was not particularly difficult for upper Domain Lords above the seventh level.
