The Journey to the Kunyuan Secret Realm Ends!

Above the sky, a vortex of Spiritual Qi spun continuously, and the secret realm passage was fully opened!

A blinding white light descended from the sky, enveloping Shi Jian and Sun Yao. Sun Yao reacted quickly and put Shi Pan back into her spirit beast pouch.

A strong sense of weightlessness pulled at my body, and the surrounding space twisted and folded.

As you pass through a spatial passage, the feeling of weightlessness quickly dissipates, and you find yourself standing on solid ground.

Within the vast basin of the Kunyuan Mountain Range, hundreds and thousands of teleportation beams lit up one after another.

The cultivators from all walks of life fell out one after another.

Some laughed wildly, some wept bitterly, and severed limbs and blood rained down on the ground, the aftershocks of the slaughter spreading directly from the secret realm to the outside world.

"Quiet!"

A majestic sound boomed across the basin...

Several Nascent Soul Realm stage True Lord simultaneously descended upon this world, suppressing the entire scene and taking control of the situation.

Inside the Supreme Purity Sect's camp.

True Person Yun Du stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the area of the teleportation array.

The light faded.

Sun Yao was covered in blood, his Daoist robe was tattered, and he was barely breathing.

Shi Jian stood silently to one side.

His towering figure was imposing, his dark gray fur gleamed with a metallic sheen, and the light blue mane around his neck fluttered in the wind.

True Person Yun Du's gaze swept past them and towards the rear.

There was no one there.

Yun Che did not come out.

Yun Du's face instantly darkened, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched slightly.

Yun Che, that was the most outstanding talent among the sword cultivators of White Cloud Temple, yet he still perished here...

"Get on the flying boat first."

Yun Du did not ask any questions on the spot. At this time, the various forces in the basin were hostile to each other, and the Jin Kingdom's Devil Cultivator camp was filled with Sha Qi intent.

Several Nascent Soul stage Old Devil were scanning the disciples of various sects, trying to find a target to seize the treasure.

This place is not safe to stay for long.

True Person Yun Du a hand Hand Seals with one hand, and the Silver Plume Boat shot out into the sky.

To ensure everything went smoothly, he contacted True Person Qingshan of Qingzhou Commandery via telepathy. The two flying boats took off side by side, traveling together and quickly disappearing into the sea of clouds, far away from this place of trouble.

Inside the ship's cabin.

The soundproof array was activated, completely isolating the howling winds from the outside world.

True Person Yun Du sat upright in the main seat, his sharp gaze fixed on Sun Yao, before glancing at Shi Jian, whose physique had drastically changed and whose aura was faintly approaching the False Core Realm Shi Jian.

Where is Yun Che?

Yun Du's voice was cold. After all, Sun Yao was a Sun Household, which made him think twice. If that were the case, then the Sun Clan probably couldn't be allowed to survive!

Sun Yao's knees buckled, and she knelt on the boat deck.

Her eyes reddened, and tears slid gently down her cheeks.

"Master, Yun Che was unfortunately killed by Shen Cang of the Cold Water Sect of the Liang Kingdom while covering our retreat. His body has been completely destroyed..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Du closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

Sun Yao wiped the blood off her face and took out a jade box covered with sealing talismans from her Storage Bag. She held the jade box high in both hands.

"But the ancestor fought desperately and ultimately killed Shen Cang, seizing the item."

"This is the precious treasure that Senior Brother Yun Che risked his life to protect. Our ancestor instructed that it should belong to our sect."

Yun Du opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the jade box.

He raised his hand and summoned the jade box into his palm. Spiritual energy surged within, revealing a corner of the talisman.

A wisp of azure air flowed slowly within the jade box, and a warm and lingering Daoist aura instantly filled the entire cabin.

Yun Du suddenly stood up, his pupils contracted, and his breathing became completely erratic.

"Heavenly One True Water Qi!"

His fingers, gripping the jade box, had turned white from the force he used.

With this wisp of Heaven and Earth Qi, White Cloud Temple has the opportunity to create another Golden Core True Person, and may even be able to nurture a Blessed Land of water!

The sect's foundation will also experience a qualitative leap.

Compared to such a priceless treasure, Yun Che's death seemed insignificant.

The death of one Foundation Establishment prodigy can nurture countless others, but obtaining a single Heaven and Earth Qi is something that can only be encountered by chance!

This deal wasn't just a loss, it was a steal!

Yun Du a deep breath, carefully put the jade box away from his body, and when he looked at Shi Jian again, the coldness in his eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by deep admiration and enthusiasm.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, your righteousness is truly admirable."

Yun Du cupped his hands in greeting, his tone becoming more equal:

"We will remember this act of great righteousness."

Shi Jian lay prostrate to the side, showing no sign of smugness, but instead becoming even more respectful, raising his two paws and bowing in greeting:

"Senior Yun, you're too kind. Yun Che is a man of principle, and I admire him greatly."

"It's a pity I arrived too late and couldn't save Fellow Yun Che. I truly feel guilty. Now that I've handed him over to the True Person, it has fulfilled Fellow Yun Che Che's wishes. How could I dare to take credit for this?"

Hearing this, Yun Du nodded repeatedly, clearly pleased.

This bear demon knows when to advance and retreat, and understands the proper boundaries.

Not only is their combat power astonishing, but they also know how to assess situations and make judgments – truly remarkable!

He carefully examined Shi Jian, noticing the light blue mane around his neck and the fluctuations in his aura, and secretly made a calculation in his mind.

This bloodline is most likely a mutation, and coupled with the powerful Demon Power of Foundation Establishment Perfection, he's probably only one step away from Core Formation.

With this demon guarding the Sun Clan, they are destined to become a powerful force in the future.

Furthermore, since they are both forces from White Cloud Commandery, the two sides have a deep friendship. Therefore, they are not competitors, but rather good allies.

We must cultivate good karma!

Thinking of this, Yun Du took out three heavy wooden boxes from his storage ring and pushed them in front of Shi Jian.

The wooden crate hit the ground with a dull thud, clearly indicating its considerable weight.

"Fellow Daoist Shi is so frank, I cannot be stingy either."

Yun Du pointed to the wooden box and said, "Inside this box are the lightning-attribute spirit ores that I collected during my travels in my early years."

"We originally planned to commission someone to forge a lightning-attribute flying sword, but unfortunately, Dao of Lightning swordsmen are hard to find, and our sect has never had anyone who has achieved mastery in the Dao of Lightning, so it has been put on hold..."

"Having heard that the Sun Clan is cultivating in the Thunder Pool Blessed Land, I would like to present these Purple Firmament Copper, Lightning-Attracting Sand, and Mystic Origin Lightning Stone to you, fellow Daoist."

"Congratulations on your great progress in cultivation, fellow Daoist. This is also a small token of our White Cloud Temple's appreciation."

Shi Jian scanned it with his Divine Sense.

The box was filled with high-grade lightning-attribute ores, mostly second-tier, and even a few third-tier spirit ores, their lightning crackling and their Spiritual Qi overwhelming.

It's worth at least tens of thousands of Spirit Stone!

"Thank you, True Person."

Shi Jian opened his mouth and inhaled, causing Yao Qi to surge, and the three wooden boxes fell directly into his abdominal space.

A successful transaction, with both host and guest happy.

Several days later.

The flying boat landed smoothly at the gate of White Cloud Temple. Shi Jian politely declined Yun Du's offer to stay, bid farewell to Sun Yao, and asked her to take good care of Shi Pan.

This physical loss has already jeopardized the very essence...

However, given Sun Yao's status at White Cloud Temple, acquiring treasures that could reshape limbs and flesh would be a piece of cake for him.

Furthermore, the trip was extremely fruitful; who knows, by the time we meet again, Shi Pan might have already advanced to the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast...

Afterwards, Shi Jian set off to return home.
