An hour ago.

In the valley that Li Zhirui was heading to, several cultivators from this realm had already appeared.

They released their divine senses, not missing any corner, trying to find traces of invaders from other realms.

"Senior Brother E, the spiritual energy here is thin. Those invaders probably wouldn't choose to hide here, right?" The speaker was the fat cultivator on the left, his small eyes gleaming with shrewdness, giving people a calculating feeling.

"Logically speaking, your guess is not without merit, but the group of invaders recently attacked the Bai family of Xiaolang Mountain. Under the layers of encirclement arranged by the sect, they inevitably couldn't escape far. Moreover, other places have already been searched, so they can only be hiding in the vicinity," Senior Brother E replied calmly.

"This..." The fat cultivator not only didn't feel happy, but revealed a hint of fear.

Because he hoped that the task he received would be easy and without danger, and not like Senior Brother E said, that if they found the invaders, a great battle would break out.

With just a few of their Human Immortal cultivators, they didn't seem to be a match for the others!

If they really found the other party, they would probably not even have time to escape.

In a hidden corner they didn't know about, several figures were hidden, not daring to look directly at them, lest they be sensed.

When they heard this conversation, a flash of killing intent instantly flashed in their eyes, but in the end, they still didn't act, because once they killed them, the power they belonged to would immediately determine this direction, which would bring danger to their sect.

So these people could only watch them search around, and finally leave either disappointed or relieved without gaining anything.

"Fortunately, we weren't discovered!"

As soon as Senior Brother E and the others left, the cultivators immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Isn't it just destroying a Human Immortal family? Is it necessary to make such a big commotion, even searching for our traces throughout the entire region?" One of them couldn't help but complain.

Some time ago, Pine Crane Mountain, a sect with three Celestial Immortals, chose to attack a Human Immortal power in this realm in order to obtain merit.

This move can be described as very cautious.

But what they didn't know was that the more they did this, the more it made people feel that they were weak! After all, if they were strong, why would they choose to attack a Human Immortal power?

Therefore, it attracted the attention of Three Wind Cave, the Celestial Immortal power sitting here, and also gave rise to some ideas.

Invaders weaken the foundation of this realm and receive Heavenly Dao rewards. Then, if they eliminate the invaders, there will also be rewards bestowed!

Speaking of which, the strength of this Three Wind Cave is not too strong, with only three Celestial Immortals, but as extraterrestrial beings, as invaders, the strength of Pine Crane Mountain is greatly suppressed, so they dare not confront Three Wind Cave head-on.

"There's no way around it. Who told our strength to be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of this realm, unable to be fully exerted? Now we can only wait for those great powers to attract the descent of the Heavenly Dao more, and we can get some benefit, then we can carry out subsequent arrangements." The Earth Immortal, Zhao Guanghui, who was the leader, had a higher status and knew more.

"Alas!" The others couldn't help but sigh, feeling very aggrieved. They originally thought they could show their skills and become famous, but in the end, they could only hide cautiously everywhere.

"Okay, let's go back to the base." Zhao Guanghui didn't say much, silently leading them back to the base.

On the other side.

The cultivators who were originally supposed to go to the next area to investigate, under the leadership of Senior Brother E, went straight to the mountain gate.

"Senior brother, the direction is wrong. We still have other tasks on us!"

Senior Brother E shook his head and said excitedly to the junior brothers behind him, "It's in the valley! Those invaders are in that valley!"

"Ah? Really? Why didn't we find anything?" The others looked at him suspiciously, wanting a reasonable explanation.

"I cultivate a secret technique that can keenly sense the existence of killing intent and murderous aura. Just now when we were in the valley, there was killing intent emerging."

As he spoke, Senior Brother E kept moving his hands, instead accelerating the speed of the spirit boat, wanting to rush back as soon as possible and report the news to the sect.

"Senior Brother E is still amazing!"

"Yes, yes! If it weren't for Senior Brother E, I'm afraid those invaders would have escaped again."

The faces of several people were full of smiles, constantly flattering him, after all, because of Senior Brother E, they completed a sect mission with a very generous reward.

Not long after they left, Li Zhirui came to this valley.

"Is this the place that person was talking about?"

After exploring with his divine sense, and not finding any cultivators, he shouted loudly, "Li Zhirui of the Wanxian Li family of the Yuanling Realm has come to visit, with something important to tell!"

"Why are they here again?"

Zhao Guanghui, who had just returned to the base not long ago, couldn't help but frown, but after hearing what he said, he thought for a moment and still brought his fellow disciples to show themselves.

Pine Crane Mountain is not too far from Shanhai Prefecture. They had specially learned about the Li family, a family that had risen at an extremely alarming rate, so he knew what Li Zhirui looked like.

"Fellow Daoist Li? I wonder why you have come?" Zhao Guanghui asked curiously.

Zhao Guanghui and the others looked excited and asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, is what you said true? Can we really restore our strength?"

"Of course, and the method is very simple, it can be done by using the power of purification."

Li Zhirui said with a faint smile, "If your sect doesn't have purification spiritual objects, I can trade some."

In order to gain trust, he let them experience it for themselves as usual.

"It's true!"

Bright light instantly burst out in the eyes of Zhao Guanghui and the others, their faces full of excitement, and they couldn't help but ask, "I wonder how many purification spiritual objects Fellow Daoist Li has in hand? How much do they cost? We hope to buy them all."

"Please also consider that we are from the same realm and are in a critical state, and may face attacks from the forces of this realm at any time. Make it a little cheaper."

"There are less than 30,000 purification lotus seeds left. I don't accept spirit stones. Two Earth Immortal-grade spiritual objects can be exchanged for 10,000 lotus seeds."

Zhao Guanghui was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said with a bitter face, "Isn't this price a bit high? Fellow Daoist Li, to be honest…"

There was another long string of complaints and requests, hoping that Li Zhirui could lower the price a little.

"Fellow Daoist, I am already taking good care of you. You must know that I just came out of the Taixuan Sect, and the price I traded with them was three Earth Immortal-grade spiritual objects for 10,000 lotus seeds."

If it weren't for the fact that they were from the same realm and that their situation was indeed not good, Li Zhirui would not have taken the initiative to lower the price.

"Then please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist, I will go back and report to the ancestors and see if they agree."

"As you wish, Fellow Daoist."

Zhao Guanghui turned and disappeared, returning to the garrison and hurrying towards the courtyard of the three Celestial Immortals.

"What urgent matter has occurred? Could it be that the army is pressing down on us, and the sect is in danger?"

Seeing his hurried and anxious expression, the three Celestial Immortals couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety.

"Ancestors, it's not what you think! It's great news! Wonderful news!"

Then, he explained the power of purification and Li Zhirui's trading conditions.

"Are you telling the truth?!"

"It's true! This disciple has personally tried it, and it indeed restored a bit of my power."

One of the Celestial Immortals immediately decided, saying, "Quickly invite him in! We will buy as many lotus seeds as he has!"

Two Earth Immortal-grade spiritual objects are nothing compared to restoring their own strength.

"He's unwilling to come in."

Thinking about it, it made sense. Someone carrying such treasures wouldn't dare to easily enter another's territory. If they had malicious intentions, there would be nowhere to escape.

"Since that's the case, then we won't show ourselves either. We'll leave it to you."

They accepted this readily and even took a step back, indicating they had no intention of robbery.

Soon, Zhao Guanghui returned to Li Zhirui with more than a dozen Earth Immortal-grade spiritual objects.

"I have fifteen Earth Immortal spiritual objects, totaling seventy-five thousand lotus seeds. I wonder if you have that many on hand?"

"When doing business, of course, you must have sufficient reserves of goods!"

Even if it were double seventy thousand lotus seeds, he could still provide them.

"Alright!"

Zhao Guanghui took the storage treasure and quickly checked it with his divine sense. Then, he said in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Li, these extra five thousand lotus seeds..."

"A free gift, also considered a small contribution to the great war between the two realms."

"No, I mean this batch of lotus seeds is of a higher grade. Thank you!"

"No need to be so polite. I wish you all martial prosperity and a safe return!"

Before the words had faded, Li Zhirui had already transformed into a spiritual light and flown away.

He had just inquired with the others, and they didn't know that there were any Yuan Ling Realm forces nearby, so next, he could only slowly search for targets himself, and it wouldn't be as easy as before.

After he left, the three Celestial Immortals of Songhe Mountain immediately began to use the purification laws to reduce the suppression on their bodies, and their strength naturally recovered.

Half of the remaining lotus seeds were given to the strongest clansmen, and the other half was distributed to the other clansmen.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect the purification laws to be so miraculous. I used to laugh at people for choosing the purification laws foolishly, but now looking back, I realize how wrong I was."

"Yes, next, we should deal with Three Winds Cave!"

But before they could prepare to attack, the other side had already dispatched a large army to surround the valley.

"I didn't expect to be exposed already. Fortunately, our strength has been restored, and we no longer have the previous worries."

The great battle erupted instantly!

The sounds of slaughter were incessant, and the thick bloody aura soared into the sky. However, as soon as they exchanged blows, both sides suffered significant casualties, but this not only did not dispel their thoughts, but instead ignited their bloodthirst.

The great battle became more intense and terrifying, especially the duel between those Celestial Immortals. The terrifying energy fluctuations made it impossible for others to get close.

… …

Li Zhirui naturally didn't know about the great battle that had erupted at Songhe Mountain. He was now worried about finding the next Yuan Ling Realm force.

Because of the suppression of the Heavenly Dao in this realm, other than those top-level forces, other forces did not dare to show their faces at all. They were all hiding in hidden places, waiting for the power of the Heavenly Dao to become stronger and stronger, and their strength to slowly recover.

In this way, the difficulty of him finding buyers naturally increased greatly.

"Sigh!"

After a series of journeys, Li Zhirui couldn't help but sigh. He really had no clue and couldn't find a target at all.

Although he specifically went to those deep mountains and old forests, after so much tossing and turning, he just didn't succeed. Even if he had been mentally prepared for a long time, the continuous failures still made him quite depressed.

"Where have these forces hidden themselves! Or is my luck so bad that I haven't encountered a single one!"

Li Zhirui had prepared two to three hundred thousand lotus seeds this time. If he couldn't find a buyer, what should he do with so many lotus seeds? He couldn't just throw them away randomly.

But this kind of thing is useless to rush, you can only rely on luck to meet the forces of the Yuan Ling Realm.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

In a certain area in the southern part of the Golden Light Realm, the Divine Dao forces led by Doumu Yuanjun were located here.

Their strength was still suppressed, but they did not hide like other forces, so conflicts and battles would break out from time to time.

Fortunately, their strength was strong enough. Although there were considerable casualties, they still firmly controlled this place and were no longer as embarrassed as when they first entered this realm.

"Mother, it's not a solution to keep going like this. Many forces are not trying their best and are waiting for us to attract more power from the Heavenly Dao."

Gou Chen said with a frown.

"This is also human nature."

Doumu Yuanjun saw it very openly and said with a chuckle, "Moreover, the situation we have opened up now is also very good. We occupy a thousand miles of territory, and we are backed by the Sea Clan, and the two sides can support and help each other."

"So don't worry, everything is slowly getting better."

Just like when they first entered the Golden Light Realm, they could only exert three or four percent of their strength, but now it has exceeded half, and even reached 60%.

It has only been a year since they entered this realm, and there has been such a big improvement, which is already very impressive.

"Huh?"

Doumu Yuanjun suddenly looked up at the sky. It was obviously a bright and clear sky, with no clouds for thousands of miles, but at this time, two dazzling spiritual lights streaked across it.

One was crimson red, and the other was moon white, and they were flying towards this place.

"Why are these two Star Lords here?"

Gou Chen looked over and said with some surprise.

You must know that when the Divine Dao summoned a group of gods to attack the Golden Light Realm, the two of them explicitly refused. Why did they suddenly change their minds?

"Perhaps the turning point lies in these two people!"

Doumu Yuanjun said with a sense of feeling, her eyes burning.

Before long, Li Chengcheng and Li Chengshuo appeared in front of the two of them.

"Greetings, Doumu Yuanjun, Gou Chen Emperor!"

The two were about to pay their respects when Doumu Yuanjun stopped them and said with a smile, "The two Star Lords have noble positions, so there is no need to pay respects to this old woman."

"The two Star Lords have come suddenly, could it be that they have brought some good news?"

"Yuanjun, you are really amazing, you saw through our thoughts at a glance."

Li Chengshuo said with a smile, "Indeed, we have brought a way to restore strength!"
