Caught the Attention of the Great Ones!

Upon hearing this, the Ancestor Egu revealed a hint of scrutiny.

"You want to win him over?"

"This hardly qualifies as courting," Earth Virtue Dao Venerable shook his head, "It's merely reciprocating a favor."

"At the crucial moment, this young man abandoned the life-saving trump card you left him, dragging Yan Zhen down the Dao rank and thwarting the Spirit Race's scheme; this decisiveness is even more valuable than combat prowess."

"If he hadn't intervened, the Spirit Race's influence would have been enough to hold out until Yan Zhen attained enlightenment; at that time, the Treasured Earth Dao Fruit would have fallen back into the hands of the Li Yuan Giant Beast."

"Our Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan's long-planned scheme has been destroyed in an instant."

The Ancestor Egu remained silent for a moment.

"So, what do you plan to do, fellow Daoist?"

Earth Virtue Dao Venerable raised his hand, and several objects appeared in his palm.

Firstly, it was a complete Spirit Transformation stage remains, entirely purplish-black, with extremely rich residual Dao of Lightning aura. The remains were not large, but the Daoist imprints of the five Immortal Foundation were clearly discernible, all belonging to the Divine Firmament Dao Fruit or below.

The remains of Dao of Lightning Spirit Transformation at the Five-Foundation Extreme Realm, located below the Divine Firmament.

Immediately afterwards, a fruit the size of a fist flew out from the sleeve of the Earth Virtue Dao Venerable.

The fruit was a deep purple color, its surface covered with dense lightning patterns, and the essence of Dao of Lightning contained within was extremely concentrated. An extremely pure Dao of Divine Firmament aura seeped out from the fruit, causing thunderclouds to surge in the sky for a hundred miles around.

Sixth-tier spiritual item: Lightning Origin Sacred Heart Fruit.

This item requires the Spirit Vein of Dao of Lightning as its root and the thunderous essence of heaven and earth as its nourishment, taking three thousand years to mature into a single piece; consuming it can cleanse Immortal Foundation and Dao of Refinement essence, making it a supreme treasure for cultivators of the Dao of Lightning.

The Ancestor Egu glanced at the Sacred Heart Fruit, slightly surprised.

"This thing is hard to come by. Fellow Daoist, you've nurtured it for three thousand years?"

"Our Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan has been operating in the Beast Realm for a long time. Thousands of years ago, we planted our seeds in several Dao of Lightning Spirit Vein."

Earth Virtue Dao Venerable said calmly, "This fruit was originally prepared for the Dao of Lightning descendants of the Feng Yue Clan, but now it's being used on this brat."

"Compared to a single fruit, the weight of a Treasured Earth Dao Fruit is far greater."

"Although my clan also aspires to a position in the Dao of Lightning, as you know, my race is unique, and apart from the Earth Dao, it is difficult to achieve success in other Great Daos."

"Rather than using this fruit to create a mediocre Dao of Lightning Spirit Transformation, it's better to make the most of it and give this young friend an fortuitous opportunity."

The Ancestor Egu said nothing more.

The aura of the Earth Virtue Dao Venerable rippled slightly, and an extremely pure Earth Virtue Daoist charm overflowed from his palm.

It then transformed into a Dark Gold stream of light, traversing thousands of miles of void and disappearing into Shi Jian's cave abode. Once the stream of light landed inside Shi Jian's body, it was like spring rain nourishing parched fields.

The Earth Virtue, with its gentle and profound Daoist charm, dissolves and dissolves the lingering Dao Venerable that remains deep within the bones and marrow of the Shi Jian wherever it passes.

The shattered meridians were slowly repaired under the nourishment of the Earth Virtue.

The Earth Virtue Dao Venerable actually bestowed blessings upon him.

Using the power of a high-ranking official, he repaired the Dao injuries of a Nascent Spirit Transformation.

If it were anyone else, the Earth Virtue Dao Venerable would naturally not have done such a thing; but Shi Jian's performance in that battle deserved this reward.

Shan Li suddenly looked up outside the cave and sensed a Dao Venerable aura entering the cave. His expression changed slightly, and the Daoist charm of his Ten-Thousand-Layered Edge edges surged instinctively.

But that aura was extremely gentle, containing not a trace of killing intent; it was merely repairing.

A thought struck her, and she extended her Divine Sense outward, vaguely sensing two figures on that solitary peak in the northeast direction...

He then withdrew his Daoist aura and did not act rashly.

Inside the cave abode, Shi Jian's injuries were healing at an extraordinary speed.

Earth Virtue Dao Venerable withdrew his hand and looked at Ancestor Egu.

"Please pass on these remains of the Dao of Lightning Spirit Transformation and the Sacred Heart Fruit to him on my behalf, fellow Daoist. It is a token of my goodwill."

"The remnants of the Dao essence of the five Divine Firmament Immortal Foundation within the remains are enough to help him comprehend subsequent Immortal Foundation; after consuming the Sacred Heart Fruit, the Dao essence of the Immortal Foundation can be refined to an extremely pure state."

"With his current aptitude and cultivation speed..."

Earth Virtue Dao Venerable paused for a moment.

"If one day, Shi Jian can truly cultivate to the Extreme Realm and attain the Divine Firmament Dao Fruit."

"Our Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan will surely protect him and ensure his attainment of the Dao."

Upon hearing this, the Ancestor Egu was slightly moved.

Protect his proof of the Way.

These four words, spoken by the Earth Virtue Dao Venerable of the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan, carry immense weight; they represent a great favor.

The Divine Firmament Dao Fruit is not currently in the hands of the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan, but the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan holds the three Fruit Positions of the Earth Dao, and among its six major royal clans Profound Lightning Dao Venerable is also in charge.

If the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan were to fully support one person in attaining the Divine Firmament, it would be tantamount to paving the way for them with the power of the entire Beast Realm.

Of course, there was a deeper meaning to this statement. If Shi Jian were to attain the Divine Firmament, he would naturally be bound to the war chariot of the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan.

The Ancestor Egu knew perfectly well what was going on, yet he had no reason to refuse.

The Giant Bear Clan is relatively weak among the six royal clans of the Beast Realm and has always relied on the protection of the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan. If a member of the clan could produce a Nascent Spirit Transformation has attained enlightenment, it would be a great joy for the entire Giant Bear Clan.

"Then, on behalf of this young man, I thank you, fellow Daoist."

The Ancestor Egu thanked him and put the remains and the Sacred Heart Fruit into his claws; for Spirit Transformation cultivator, any one of these would be a first-rate fortuitous opportunity!

Earth Virtue Dao Venerable nodded, and his figure gradually dissolved into nothingness.

"The affairs of the Dao Realm shall be temporarily concluded; the rest is now in your hands. Furthermore, the Treasured Earth Dao Fruit is vacant, and our clan's Emperor still needs time to comprehend it."

"During this period, anyone who attempts to seize this Treasured Earth must be eliminated."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Earth Virtue Dao Venerable completely vanished, leaving only a wisp of Earth Virtue Daoist charm that lingered on the peak for a moment before disappearing with the wind.

The Ancestor Egu Earth Virtue Dao Venerable off, a complex emotion flashing across his aged, vertical pupils.

"You little rascal, you've got a tough life."

He muttered something to himself, carefully put the two items away, and then transformed into a streak of white light, rushing towards the depths of the Li Bear Plains.

Shan Li still guards the cave entrance.

The Ancestor Egu landed in front of her and tossed her the remains and the Sacred Heart Fruit.

"It was a gift from the Earth Virtue Dao Venerable; give it to him once this boy wakes up."

Shan Li took it, probed it with his Divine Sense, and his expression changed slightly.

The remains of Dao of Lightning Spirit Transformation at the Five-Foundation Extreme Realm, with all five Immortal Foundation belonging to the Divine Firmament Dao Fruit; such a thing was practically tailor-made for Shi Jian.

Then look at that Sacred Heart Fruit; it's an extremely rare item.

"Ancestor, this..."

"Enough with the nonsense." The Ancestor Egu waved his paw. "It was a gift from the lord of the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan; you can keep it for him."

Then, the Dao Venerable E Gu flicked his finger.

Two streams of powerful Blood Qi flowed into Shan Li's body; the vast Barbarian Bone Dao energy continuously transformed his body.

To lay the foundation for it and purify its lineage.

This is a gift for Shan Li, a younger generation.

Meanwhile, another stream of Blood Qi flew into the cave abode and surged into Shi Jian's body, elevating his physical form once more and helping him repair his hidden injuries.

Blessed by both the Earth Virtue and Barbarian Bone Paths, Shi Jian is considered the first in the Beast Realm to achieve this; it is evident how immense Shi Jian's power is now.

To gain the favor of the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan would mean a smooth path to enlightenment, provided one could successfully cultivate to the Extreme Realm perfection.

The entire Beast Realm is willing to pave the way for it!
