Feedback, Extermination!

Three days later, behind the Barbarian Bone Pass, in a magnificent palace.

The palace gates were tightly closed, and multiple layers of isolation arrays were set up outside.

Inside the hall, Shan Yue, Cang Wuji, and seven Spirit Transformation elders who were also direct descendants of the Giant Bear Race Clan were all present.

Having just experienced the battle in the Heaven Beyond Heaven and the cleansing in the South, all the Nascent Spirit Transformation showed varying degrees of fatigue on their faces, and the Daoist energy within many of them was even fluctuating, clearly indicating that they had lost a great deal of their essence in the battle.

Shi Jian sat at the lower end of the table and glanced around at the elders of his clan in the hall.

On the battlefield, strength is what matters; but within a community, interests and tactics are what matter.

Whoosh!

With a sudden flick of his sleeve, Shi Jian conjured fifty bronze Pill Cauldron that floated into the air above the main hall!

Even with the Spirit Sealing affixed to the mouth of the cauldron, the extremely rich vitality and medicinal fragrance still instantly filled the entire hall.

The Life Dao faintly emerging from the cauldron caused the pupils of all the Spirit Transformation demon immortals present to contract violently at the same time!

"This is..."

A giant Spirit Transformation suddenly stood up, breathing heavily like an ox, staring intently at the Pill Cauldron, "Tribulation-Transcending Life Pill?! The Spirit Race's strategic-level Life Pill?!"

"Fifty in total?!"

Upon seeing Cang Wuji's hand trembled, and he almost crushed the wine jar in his hand.

This thing is forged from the life force of hundreds of thousands of living beings. One piece is enough to instantly revive a critically injured Spirit Transformation cultivator, and can even forcibly boost combat power at the critical moment of life and death!

The Spirit Race front lines collapsed too quickly, and the southern tribes were completely ravaged by the Nether River.

Although the Giant Bear Race occupied the territory, they didn't even get a glimpse of these top-level strategic resources that were under strict guard.

Shi Jian remained calm and pushed the fifty Pill Cauldron forward.

"In this battle, I stumbled upon a Xuan-level military depot behind the Spirit Race's rear and took it down without much trouble."

Shi Jian said in a calm and collected tone, "These past few days, I have been fortunate to receive the care and guidance of all the seniors. Shi Jian was able to return alive from the Eastern Lands entirely thanks to the protection of the elders in my clan."

"I am alone and do not need so much."

"These fifty Tribulation-Crossing Life Pill will be entrusted to the Ancestor Shanyue for disposal, to be distributed among the senior members of each department, in case of unforeseen circumstances."

For a moment, there was a deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop in the entire hall.

The assembled Spirit Transformation cultivators, looking at this young man who was only a little over a thousand years old, felt not only shock but also an unprecedented sense of conviction and recognition.

Ordinary cultivators would be hiding such enormous benefits, but Shi Jian didn't even blink and directly gave away more than half of it as a share!

They are capable, courageous, and resilient; they even know how to share their meat with their own kind!

If such a descendant cannot achieve anything, heaven and earth will not tolerate him.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Shan Yue took a deep breath and said "good" three times.

"Shi Jian, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

"From this day forward, within the Giant Bear Clan, anyone who dares to point fingers at you will be the first to have their head ripped off!"

Cang Wuji grinned broadly and accepted the floating Pill Cauldron without any hesitation. "Good lad! You're loyal! From now on, we, the Lightning Bear and Pale Bear Lineage, will be as close as family!"

The other elders, who had previously held themselves in high esteem, now looked at Shi Jian with a completely different gaze.

They all solemnly cupped their hands in acknowledgment of the favor.

Shi Jian smiled, but his expression remained humble. He believed in the principle of "you have to give to receive."

Of the ninety-nine Life Pill in the Spirit Race's armory, he kept nearly half for himself. He also consumed the entire armory's Spirit Vein and lightning-struck wood, taking out these pills that originally belonged to "ill-gotten gains."

He not only won over the entire clan and secured the full support of the various lineages 'Spirit Transformation, but also firmly established himself as the leader of the younger generation.

This deal is definitely a win-win situation.

If one day he attains enlightenment, he will not be able to do without the help of these elders in his clan.

However, before the festive atmosphere inside the hall could completely dissipate, the void suddenly trembled violently.

Thump--!

A deep, resounding war bell tolled, booming from the distant Peak and Mountain Pass and passes, instantly echoing across billions of miles of the northern Dao Realm!

That's a summons from the Imperial Clan!

Shan Yue's expression turned solemn, and his smile vanished, "By imperial decree, the Council of Emperors has convened; Shi Jian, you shall accompany me."

"Yes, Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jian nodded slightly in agreement.

A moment later, at the heart of Peak and Mountain Pass.

Shi Jian followed behind Shan Yue and Cang Wuji, and several other Giant Bear Race Spirit Transformation, as they entered a magnificent hall that resembled an independent small world.

Inside the hall, a chilling atmosphere filled the air.

At the highest point of the sky, five towering Dharma images floated side by side, their immense power distorting and deforming the entire space.

At the center stands one of the three Dao Venerable of the Beast Realm Imperial Clan: [Earth Virtue] Dao Venerable.

On the left and right sides were the leaders of the four royal families:

[Barbarian Bone] Dao Venerable: Bear Emperor E Gu, covered in white bone armor, with eyes as cold as ancient wells, and thousands of white bones as white as jade.

[Ultimate Force] Dao Venerable: Ultimate Force Ape Emperor, a massive ape dharma form with muscles like coiled dragons, Sha Qi aura that soars to the sky, like an ancient god.

[Sha Qi] Dao Venerable: The Evil Sha Tiger Emperor, surrounded by billions of blood-red ferocious souls, his killing intent forms a sea, and his Sha Qi aura soars to the sky.

[Conjoined Fire] Dao Venerable: Kui Lang Emperor, blazing flames burn the sky, wolf's gaze and eagle's eyes; the blazing fire burns the sky and boils the sea, displaying its majesty.

The five Dao Venerable forms, overlook the mortal realm below.

Below the five statues, hundreds of thrones made of unknown materials floated neatly in the air.

On each throne sat a powerful and profound Spirit Transformation demon immortal!

Giant bears, Ultimate Force Ape, Blood Sha Evil Tiger, and Heaven-Devouring Kui Lang; the elite Beast Realm at the Spirit Transformation stage gathered here, hundreds of powerful divine thoughts intertwining in the void, stirring up dazzling lightning.

Shi Jian followed in the procession of the Giant Bear Clan and took his seat on a black iron throne at the front.

His appearance attracted many sidelong glances.

A young thunder cultivator who Three-Foundation Perfection sat in the front row, and no one raised any objections, not only because Shan Yue and Cang Wuji, who both had unfriendly expressions, were sitting behind him.

Furthermore, the aura of Dao of Lightning on his body, as deep and profound as an abyss, was enough to make most of the Spirit Transformation present feel an instinctive tremor.

Above the heavens, the Earth Virtue Dao Venerable slowly lowered his eyes, and his majestic and indifferent divine voice echoed throughout the hall, "The South is pacified, the Myriad Spirits Imperial Clan has retreated to the Spirit Realm, Treasured Earth Dao Fruit has fallen to the Beast Realm's overwhelming power."

However, the game of chess in the Dao Realm is not yet over.

"The Nether River Imperial Clan helped our realm repel the Spirit Race and seize control of the south. According to the previous agreement of the Dao Alliance, our realm must assist the Nether Emperor in the Dao Realm the [Returning to Stillness] fruit of the Death Dao in our native realm."

As soon as the words were spoken, the auras of the hundred Nascent Spirit Transformation in the hall fluctuated for a moment.

The state of Returning to Stillness! A core position held by one of the eight native clans of the Dao Realm!

"In the western part of the Dao Realm, the Death Giant Lizard Clan was previously unknown, merely an ordinary small clan; however, after confirmation from various parties, it was discovered that behind this clan lies the lineage of the Returning to Stillness through generations."

The voice of the Sha Qi Dao Venerable and the Evil Sha Sha Tiger Emperor was like the grinding of metal, his bloodlust undisguised. "This Venerable is not weak, but he is alone and cannot fight. It is time to devour him."

The Bear Emperor E Gu spoke coldly, his imposing aura overwhelming the entire area. "Issue the Emperor's decree."

"The seven gates, along with various royal families, have dispatched eighty elite Nascent Spirit Transformation, leading a million vassals, to march on the western part of the Dao Realm!"

"Hunting the Death Giant Lizard, trampling the Black Sha Wasteland."

"Take his bones, sever his path, and hold a feast for the Nether Emperor!"

The grand decree, imbued with the supreme killing intent of the Five Great Dao Venerable, was proclaimed to all the Nascent Spirit Transformation in this area; in an instant, hundreds of Spirit Transformation demon immortals rose abruptly and responded in unison:

"I will obey the Emperor's decree!"
