Ye Tian heard this and slowly retracted his overwhelming aura.
“Why him? With my talent and strength, don’t I have the qualifications?” Ye Tian opened his eyes and said slowly.
The cave was still filled with surging spiritual energy.
Even though Ye Tian wasn’t fully activating his Devouring Heaven Divine Body, the surrounding spiritual energy was still being absorbed into his body.
“Originally, the chosen one was you, but unfortunately, you didn’t seize the opportunity!” The ethereal voice sounded again.
Hearing the ethereal voice, Ye Tian clenched his fists slightly.
Didn't seize the opportunity, was I negated by just one failure?
“I will complete our transaction, but I will also prove that your choice was wrong!” Ye Tian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
After Ye Tian finished speaking, he left the cave.
The cave instantly became empty.
“Was it my choice…”
A proud and peerless hazy figure appeared in the cave and murmured.
The figure slowly raised her head and looked at the sky.
Her gaze seemed to penetrate billions of spaces, reaching directly to the highest heavens.
…
Qingqiu Royal Palace.
In a highly secure secret chamber of the royal palace.
The secret chamber was filled with dense spiritual energy, and many surging auras permeated the room.
In the center of the secret chamber sat a handsome and unparalleled young man.
Beside the young man were many Fengtian Spirit Stones, containing pure life essence, priceless and extremely rare.
These Fengtian Spirit Stones were what was needed to cultivate the fifth level of the [Phoenix Nirvana Scripture].
They were found by Su Mengli in the treasure vault of the Exploding Bear tribe.
When she learned that Jiang Li needed them for cultivation, she gave all these Fengtian Spirit Stones to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was鲸吞ing the surrounding fiery red spiritual energy, with golden light and fiery red phoenixes flashing within his body.
Phoenix cries continuously resounded in the young man’s body.
Behind Jiang Li, a phoenix phantom also appeared, filled with immense life essence.
After a while, the surrounding Fengtian Spirit Stones were absorbed by Jiang Li.
Jiang Li’s [Phoenix Nirvana Scripture] also broke through to the fifth level.
His recovery ability had once again been greatly enhanced.
With the fifth level of the [Phoenix Nirvana Scripture], he could already regenerate severed limbs, and even catastrophic injuries could be healed at a relatively fast speed.
The fifth level of the [Phoenix Nirvana Scripture] combined with the Undying Divine Body, a true healing monster, Jiang Li thought to himself.
“Master, I am about to undergo Nirvana and break through to the Saint Realm. Please protect me!” At this moment, a clear voice sounded from the side of the secret chamber.
Little Red was burning with fierce flames, and the Undying Fire flickered with immense aura around Little Red.
Is this foolish bird finally about to break through?
Jiang Li’s eyes lit up. This Undying Bird was simply a bottomless pit, having devoured so many resources in these past few days.
It was finally about to break through.
“Boom, boom, boom!!!”
Soon, a powerful devouring force erupted from Little Red.
The surrounding spiritual energy and flames were all devoured by Little Red.
Flames danced around Little Red, like a dazzling display of stars.
Soon, the flames and spiritual energy formed a dense, fiery red magma-like substance that tightly enveloped Little Red.
As it was enveloped by the magma, Little Red transformed into an egg with fiery red patterns.
That’s it? Jiang Li’s mouth twitched. Nirvana breakthrough, and you turned back into an egg???
Jiang Li shook his head and picked up the egg that Little Red had transformed into. It was filled with immense energy, and Jiang Li could even feel a steady heartbeat within.
Forget it, I’ll keep it for now.
Immediately after, Jiang Li stored away the egg that Little Red had transformed into.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!!!”
As soon as he put the egg away, Jiang Li suddenly felt a buzzing sound from his spatial ring.
Jiang Li’s heart stirred, and he took out the vibrating token from his spatial ring.
This was the token Tang Siqi used to communicate with Jiang Li.
It was a message from the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect…
Could something have happened at the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect? Jiang Li’s eyes narrowed.
Then he would go back and check. He had cultivated sufficiently in the Heavenly Demon Domain.
His strength had also improved significantly.
Immediately after, Jiang Li left the secret chamber, preparing to bid farewell to Su Mengli and the Sea Overturning Venerable.
…
Qingqiu Royal Palace.
In Su Mengli’s boudoir.
Su Mengli lay in Jiang Li’s arms, her eyes teary.
Even though her body was exhausted, Su Mengli still held Jiang Li tightly.
Jiang Li had just told Su Mengli that he was about to leave.
Although Su Mengli was extremely reluctant, she knew that Jiang Li had his own matters to attend to.
“Jiang Li, I’m sorry. There are still too many things to handle in our Heavenly Demon Domain, so we can’t leave with you!” Su Mengli said with a slight sob.
Jiang Li dotingly stroked Su Mengli’s hair, feeling the warmth in his arms.
These days of carefree cultivation, without any worries or concerns, and with Su Mengli’s companionship, Jiang Li was a little reluctant to leave.
Although the days were short, they had left many beautiful memories in Jiang Li’s heart.
“We will have time to meet again in the future!” Jiang Li said softly.
Su Mengli said nothing more, just nestled in Jiang Li’s arms, greedily savoring this final tenderness.
After multiple intimate moments, Jiang Li finally broke free from the gentle embrace, preparing to leave the Heavenly Demon Domain.
Before leaving, Su Mengli had prepared a lot of cultivation resources for Jiang Li, as well as several Saint Weapons, Saint-grade spiritual armor, a full set of Saint-grade defensive spiritual treasures, and several offensive Saint Weapons.
There was no need to mention other resources… she had practically emptied half of the Heavenly Demon Domain’s treasury.
The Sea Overturning Venerable, upon learning of this, was left speechless with a wry smile. His daughter had been stolen away by Jiang Li.
The outskirts of the Heavenly Demon Domain.
“Mengli, you can see me off here!” Jiang Li said slowly, looking at the beautiful woman with slightly red eyes in front of him.
Su Mengli nodded, forcibly suppressing the emotions in her heart, and watched Jiang Li leave.
Su Mengli, dressed in a purple long skirt, stared blankly at the departing Jiang Li, her eyes teary, speechless for a long time.
The Sea Overturning Venerable beside her felt very heartbroken and pitying.
His proud daughter, who was as cold as a snow lotus, had completely melted upon meeting Jiang Li, becoming so gentle that it made him heartache.
“Father, take me to the ancestral land of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan to receive the inheritance of our ancestors!” After a long while, Su Mengli’s senses returned, and she said with a firm tone.
“Daughter, have you really thought it through? The inheritance land is extremely dangerous, and success is uncertain. Once you go, it will be difficult to see Jiang Li again…” The Sea Overturning Venerable said meaningfully.
