Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing mentally reviewed the expenditure from the previous battle once more.

The efficiency with which the Creation Green Lotus converts Dead Silence Power — one must admit — is indeed stable.

The Creation Origin within him had not diminished in the environment of the Eternal Night Ruins; on the contrary, it was several degrees more abundant than when he entered.

As for the Golden Eyeball obtained from the Demon God Wan Tong, it was temporarily sealed in a corner of his God Nation, to be studied slowly after he leaves.

Luo Qinghan stood not far away, her gaze falling on the myriad fruits of the Myriad Dao Spirit Tree.

Those fruits, each and every one, emitted light of different colors.

Nine colors intertwined, outlining the entire giant tree's contour like a dreamscape.

And her face, illuminated by the Myriad Dao Spirit Tree's radiance, appeared several degrees softer than usual.

Yet the cool, indifferent aura between her brows remained undiminished in the slightest.

At this moment, Luo Qinghan suddenly spoke, her tone unhurried: "Senior Brother Changqing, the Myriad Dao Spirit Tree can be refined into a Law Supreme Treasure."

Xu Zhangqing, hearing this, let out an "oh," then tilted his head to look at her.

Luo Qinghan continued: "Every fruit on the tree crown contains a complete Law within it, therefore it is useful to anyone.

But the most valuable part of the whole tree is actually not the fruits, but the Myriad Dao Heart condensed deep within the tree trunk.

That is the sole crystallized manifestation of the Great Dao Laws within the Eternal Night Ruins; combined with your cultivated Creation Power, it might allow you to walk a path different from the past."

The meaning being: taking Creation Power as the starting point, ultimately transcending Creation Power.

She did not know that Xu Zhangqing had already created the Primordial Dao on his own, with Creation Power being merely one branch.

Yet the concern within her words could still be felt.

Xu Zhangqing glanced at the other party, his expression thoughtful.

But he did not rush to respond; since the other party had actively brought up the ownership of the Myriad Dao Spirit Tree, there was certainly more to follow.

Sure enough, Luo Qinghan continued: "I was thinking, this tree goes to you.

First, your contribution was the greatest, and your expenditure was also the greatest.

Second, Kong Fang has left, but once he finds the Ancestral Spirit Source and becomes the First Ancestor Yao, he will certainly return to find you.

If this Myriad Dao Spirit Tree can help you advance another step, the chances of victory will be much greater."

Xu Zhangqing was silent for a moment, then nodded: "What Senior Sister says is correct; I indeed have use for this tree, so I won't stand on ceremony with you all.

But one point: the Myriad Dao Spirit Tree's fruits are useful to everyone.

When Senior Brother Hundred Li and the others come out from the Tian Gong, let each person pick one fruit suited to themselves; the remainder then goes to me.

Everyone is fighting desperately; what should be divided cannot be shorted."

"As you wish."

Luo Qinghan withdrew her gaze from the Myriad Dao Spirit Tree, then let it fall upon the faintly visible Yong Ji Tian Gong deep within the fissure: "Having arrived here, matters in the Eternal Night Ruins are just about ready to conclude.

I have already obtained the Moonlight Holy Tree; Mo Li has also collected the 'Eternal Night Scripture'; you gained the Creation Green Lotus and the Demon God Wan Tong's eye.

One expects that after Senior Brother Hundred Li and the others enter the Tian Gong, they will also bring out some treasures.

At present, it seems the opportunities that should be sought have been sought more or less completely.

Others may not be clear, but at least the few of us should leave, lest Junior Brother Feng and Daoist Lu grow anxious outside!"

Xu Zhangqing gave an "mmph"; he recalled the three sighs heard earlier in the Eternal Night Ruins passage, and the owner of those footsteps that Feng Buhui had judged to be "trapped by over ten thousand layers of space folding."

At present, these mysteries have no answers.

But just as Luo Qinghan said, the things that should be done have been done more or less completely; continuing to remain in the Eternal Night Ruins would be meaningless.

As for the appointed battle with Kong Fang, they have already met face to face anyway.

And he himself would not keep waiting for the other party indefinitely.

……

……

Unknown how much time passed, several points of light lit up in the distant darkness.

Those points of light flickered bright and dim, as if observing this side from afar.

"The Demon Gods that fled earlier."

Luo Qinghan merely glanced once before withdrawing her gaze: "There are three; one has cracks on its bone armor — it should be the one Senior Brother Hundred Li cleaved earlier."

However, they dared not approach.

Even the Demon God Wan Tong with fifty thousand years of Dao cultivation was slaughtered; these Demon Gods who have barely surpassed ten thousand years, no matter how foolish, would not be foolish enough to come courting death.

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "These fellows are very cunning; they dare not engage us in direct conflict.

But as long as you and I remain guarding here, they have absolutely no opportunity."

Luo Qinghan, however, did not mind; cool moonlight seeped into the ground, spreading a ring of silver light from beneath her feet: "Just let them waste away."

The two, one left one right, guarded the fissure's entrance.

One sitting cross-legged, one standing with hands behind back.

The Myriad Dao Spirit Tree's nine-colored radiance silently flowed and turned overhead.

The distant Demon Gods sometimes drew near, sometimes shrank back again.

No matter how many probing attempts, they never dared cross a certain intangible boundary.

This quiet standoff was maintained for approximately two hours.

Over the course of two hours, two groups of Demon Gods approached to probe, but upon seeing clearly that Xu Zhangqing and Luo Qinghan were guarding the entrance to the crack, they all silently retreated to a safe distance.

No choice, these two are both too powerful.

One who dares to single-handedly challenge a Demon God with fifty thousand years of Dao Xing.

One who is even more a powerhouse of the Mahayana Stage Transcendence Path.

Suddenly, the pale blue light within the crack flickered violently once, immediately followed by a second flicker, then a third.

After a while, more than ten streaks of light of various colors lit up.

These are all the Escape Lights of cultivators.

The first was Hundred Li Hong; the White Tiger Killing Qi on his body had faded considerably compared to when he entered, but the expression on his face was even more excited than when he entered.

The blade of the long saber in his hand now bore an additional blood-colored pattern extending from the hilt all the way to the tip; that pattern seemed like a living thing flowing across the blade, emitting a strand of dead silence aura similar to the Eternal Night Ruins.

"Second Senior Sister! Lao Jiu!"

As soon as Hundred Li Hong emerged, he eagerly walked up to the two of them, then pointed at the blood-colored pattern on the blade: "See it?

Inside the Yong Ji Tian Gong there is an armory, filled with the remains of various divine weapons and sharp tools left over from the Ancient Period.

My saber, after absorbing the residual killing qi of a broken Blood Fiend Battle Spear inside, directly advanced.

Though incomplete, the power of a single cleave has increased by three tenths compared to before!"

Xu Zhangqing cupped his fists: "Congratulations, Fourth Senior Brother!"

Not long after, Mo Li also emerged.

Compared to when she entered, her condition looked somewhat better.

Her complexion was no longer that sickly pallor, but had recovered to a normal blood color.

The shadows coiling around her body now carried an additional indescribable texture.

As if within the shadows, something even darker than shadows had been mixed in.

Jin Buhuan was the third to emerge.

He was neither as excited as Hundred Li Hong nor as expressionless as Mo Li, but walked up to Xu Zhangqing with a beaming smile, fished out a palm-sized blue-gray stone from his sleeve, and stuffed it into his hand.

Xu Zhangqing looked down; the stone appeared ordinary, but upon probing it with his Divine Sense, he discovered an internal world of its own.

A space merely ten zhang across, yet able to shield Divine Sense from outside — whether from inside or outside, it could not be detected.

Jin Buhuan grinned: "This thing is called a 'Mustard Seed Stone'; it can integrate into a Shen Guo Domain, thereby increasing its scale to a certain degree.

I picked it up in a secret chamber in the Tian Gong; there were three pieces in total.

Aren't you going to have an Appointment Battle with that whatever Demon God?

Every bit of enhancement helps!"

At this, Xu Zhangqing felt great surprise.

Although the person before him was not Hu Bugui.

One must admit, no matter when, he is incredibly loyal!
