He then lifted his head to look at Shen Yi and said earnestly, “You’re being modest, you’re actually quite good at it.”

The two chatted idly for a few more sentences.

However, they very tacitly avoided mentioning anything about Xuan Qing’s past.

Such a proud genius had become what he was now, and the complexity of that transformation could probably kill a conversation.

Not until news from Liu Qianyun and others outside the Sect reached them did Shen Yi stand up to say goodbye and leave the Ancestral Master Hall.

He went outside the Sect to retrieve the five portions of Red-Eyed Mysterious Phoenix’s essence blood that had been agreed upon earlier, as well as the Precious Medicines he had borrowed, before settling on a place in the Nanyang Sect that he found pleasing to his eye.

This was the difference between a Sect Disciple and a Loose Cultivator.

Shen Yi sat cross-legged and opened the panel once again.

This trip to the Chen residence, apart from gaining a few powerful demons, was most terrifying in terms of the lifespan of those demons.

Before he had left, he only had one hundred and fifteen thousand years.

The nearly fifty Primordial Realm shrimp soldiers and crab generals provided close to two hundred and fifty thousand years, while the guards of the Return to Void Realm, along with that red-dress girl, added up to three hundred and seventy thousand years.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: Seventy-two thousand nine hundred years]

Shen Yi glanced at the jade bottle in his hand, opened it slightly for a look, but found that it was not the essence blood of a Great Demon of the twelfth layer of Return to Void as he had imagined, but merely that of the sixth layer at best.

Though somewhat disappointed, he could understand.

The matter with the Chen family had only produced a sixth layer Return to Void Aquatic Race member, which was an unexpected situation. How could it have been possible to receive the most cherished essence blood as a reward?

“Is this enough?”

Shen Yi was uncertain whether these essence blood would be enough to fully cultivate his Heavenly Phoenix Undying Body.

It was best to ascend to the next palace first.

He promptly began to condense the Town Stones, then gathered the Demon Origin.

After venturing out a few times, Shen Yi no longer felt the pinch as he did before. He discovered that the Nan Hong area was much richer than the inside of the Treasure Land.

As long as one had sufficient strength, it seemed like demons were inexhaustible.

It was easy to grow accustomed to luxury from frugality.

Six Town Stones then appeared within his sea of consciousness.

He selected all of them from those in the Dragon Fish Hall.

Although it was called the Dragon Fish Hall, the only ones who truly qualified as Dragon Fish were the red-dress girl and that Return to Void sixth-layer guard. The other five guards were all various unheard-of Fish Demons.

He used the demon lifespan to reconstruct the Demon Souls one by one.

It had to be said, the guards chosen to follow the red-dress girl were all carefully selected, having decent talent and were young.

On average, a Demon Soul only required eight or nine Demon Origins.

The most, which was that of the sixth-layer Return to Void Dragon Fish, took twelve.

A total of fifty-four.

Shen Yi took out all the Demon Flesh and watched as they transformed into a river and surged into his brow.

The six Town Stones solidified at the same time.

The Demon Body of that Dragon Fish Hall princess, along with that Return to Void sixth-layer guard, were placed into the same Town Stone.

From the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, any that belonged to the same race as the guards were also integrated into the Town Stones, better than nothing.

“Phew.”

Shen Yi calmed his emotions, realizing that with so many experiences of gathering Town Stones, the measuring ruler was simply going through the motions, incidentally checking for any incredibly talented individuals that might have slipped through the net.

He called forth the ruler and seriously moved it into place.

Soon, he had assessed the quality of all six Town Stones.

Although Xuan Qing had said that each time he ascended a palace, he only used a second-grade Town Stone to achieve the feat of constructing three palaces and successfully broke through the watershed to reach the fourth layer of Return to Void,

that man’s words were not reliable.

Barely second-grade and close to first-grade were both considered second-grade in Xuan Qing’s words, but the difference between them was huge.

Once the results were out,

The other five Town Stones turned out to be as Shen Yi had expected, all of them slightly above third-grade.

But it was the Dragon Fish Town Stone that surprised Shen Yi.

It seemed the bloodline of the red-dress girl wasn’t bad; although she had only the strength of the second-layer Return to Void, she actually helped this Town Stone surpass the second-grade line and then continue up for about one-third of the distance.

“That should be about right.”

Shen Yi closed his eyes and once again ran the palace ascension technique.

The same commotion ensued.

The Immeasurable Demon Emperor Palace swept up into the skies.

The Town Stones crumbled away, and six grand columns materialized out of thin air.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Ancestral Master Hall.

Li Xuanqing wasn’t quite sure if Shen Yi would return or not, so he didn’t immediately enter into a meditative state.

He stared blankly at the statue of the ancestor, his thoughts unknowable.

Suddenly, the familiar aura of the blood sea surged into the hall, even adding a hint of the Blood Fiend essence beside the statue that exuded a clear aura.

“…”

Li Xuanqing waved his hand to disperse the blood aura.

He then broke off several branches from his body to substitute for incense sticks. After lighting them, he inserted them into the incense burner to atone to the ancestor.

After finishing what he had in hand,

he stood up and step by step walked to the long steps outside the hall.

He watched the twin streaks of Hongmeng Purple Qi in the distant sky.

Li Xuanqing’s wooden face suddenly showed a hint of complexity,

as if he saw something incomprehensible.

“Why, oh why.”

He muttered to himself.

He had thought that, under the Union Dao, he had thoroughly seen through all the laws of this world.

But when he looked at the arising Immeasurable Demon Emperor Palace, his heart was inexplicably shrouded in bewilderment.

Not until the six great columns were fully formed!

A new level of the hall appeared out of nowhere, as if reaching straight for the heavens.

The sound of celestial music began anew, as if divine birds were strolling through the clouds.

They once celebrated for Xuan Qing, but now they were here for someone else.

When he saw the third streak of purple Qi emerge from the edge of the canopy of heaven,

Li Xuanqing’s eyes gradually became clear as he stood with his hands hanging down, atop the Nanyang relief.

Despite his simplistic wooden body, his silhouette seemed to have suddenly grown much taller.

“Master, I have seen another Xuan Qing,”

Li Xuanqing slowly turned around and knelt toward the statue of the ancestor.

In a moment, a faint smile appeared on his lips, “They have been hungry for a long time, I understand, but this piece of meat, I want to save for our own family to eat.”

“If he is willing.”

“This Nanyang Treasure Land, Xuan Qing has protected it,”

As his words fell, he kowtowed heavily to the ground.

The statue of the ancestor remained still as an inanimate object, offering no response.

But Li Xuanqing was not Zhang Laifu.

Here, his words could replace the command of a master.

After giving five loud kowtows,

Li Xuanqing stood up once more, asking loudly towards the distance, “Do you wish to become the Sect Master of Nanyang?”

His voice, more serious than ever before, quickly spread throughout the Nanyang Sect’s inner gate!

On a distant mountaintop.

The figure in the ink robe slowly opened his eyes, his profound pupils filled with purple hues.

Shen Yi looked back towards the distance, pondering for a moment, then lightly said, “Is there anyone more suitable than me?”

Separated by the heavenly canopy,

Li Xuanqing let out a light chuckle, glanced down at his wooden body, and said with a carefree sigh, “It seems there isn’t.”

The next moment, he suddenly thrust his hand towards his heart.

The hard wooden body split open violently.

Right at the position of the heart,

a white jade Dao Plate was suspended there.

He had always had the key to come home.

He just didn’t dare to use it, nor did he have the face to use it.

“Keep it well,”

Li Xuanqing, holding the White Jade Dao Medallion, reactivated the Sect Gate Grand Array, then bent down to place the Baiyu Medallion back in its place.

Subsequently, he stepped away from the Nanyang Sect.

It was time to remind the Nan Hong Seven Sons that among the Seven Sects, there was still a Nanyang.
