117: A bountiful harvest! Time to return to the sect!

It wasn't until he saw the Jade Slip emitting a faint grey light that his movements stopped.

Annihilation Soul Divine Light!

This was precisely the Transcendent Treasured Art that Hun Xuwu had previously used.

Although it didn't work against the soul-fixing bead and Lu Yuan's Primordial Spirit, this didn't mean that this Divine Ability wasn't powerful.

On the contrary, it was an extremely superior Divine Soul attack Secret Manual.

It specialized in destroying true spirits and ignored Physical Body defenses.

"One can never have too many skills."

Lu Yuan directly placed the Jade Slip on his glabella, instantly mastering the Cultivation method of this Divine Ability.

With this Divine Ability, coupled with his Body Integration Stage Primordial Spirit power, he would definitely be able to accurately ambush anyone in the future.

Besides Secret Arts, Wanhun Hall also had a special product—Soul Crystals.

These were black crystals, refined by Wanhun Hall using a secret method from countless vengeful souls, forming pure Soul Power crystals.

Although somewhat cruel, they had miraculous effects in enhancing Divine Soul power.

Lu Yuan roughly counted them; there were over a thousand, enough to further refine his Primordial Spirit.

In Hun Xuwu's Storage Ring, he also plundered a pseudo-Transcendent Spiritual Treasure, which was a human emperor banner, constantly emitting black Qi, containing at least hundreds of thousands of captured Divine Souls.

"A human emperor banner, huh? That's also a good item!"

Lu Yuan's lips curved into an arc. This was an item specifically designed to counter Divine Souls. If he encountered remnant souls like the Heavenly Demon Ancestor again, he could directly absorb them into the human emperor banner.

Finally, there was the Blood God Sect's treasury.

The items inside were rather gruesome.

Among them, the most precious was undoubtedly the mountain of blood essence crystals.

These were the essences condensed by the Blood God Sect from blood pools, each containing immense Qi and blood power.

"Good stuff!"

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

While this item might cause ordinary Cultivators to worry about Evil Qi backlash, for him, with the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, it was simply the best tonic!

For the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body to reach Major Achievement, it required a massive accumulation of Qi and blood.

These blood essence crystals could be used to temper his Physical Body and break through Physical Body Realms.

Besides the blood essence crystals, Lu Yuan also found a Physical Body Secret Art called Blood God Transformation, as well as the Transcendent Treasured Art that the Blood Sea Demon Lord prided himself on—Blood Essence Divine Light.

There was even a desperate technique called Blood Burning Forbidden Art, which could temporarily boost one's Cultivation by burning Essence Blood. Although its side effects were severe, it could save one's life at critical moments.

As for the resources in the Profound Yin Sect's treasury, there wasn't much that caught his Dharma Eye.

"This wave, I've hit the jackpot."

Lu Yuan finished tallying all his gains, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

This was wartime wealth!

The resources obtained from destroying the Six Demonic Sects were enough to increase Azure Cloud Sect's foundation by more than a hundredfold, even enough to support his Cultivation all the way to the Body Integration Stage!

After sorting these items by category, Lu Yuan didn't rush to put them all into his possession.

He turned around and looked at the several women who had been quietly waiting by his side.

"Yuechan, come here."

Xiao Yuechan's delicate body trembled slightly upon hearing this. She quickly took two steps forward, standing respectfully with her hands down, her clear beautiful eyes showing a hint of nervousness and anticipation: "Benefactor."

Lu Yuan flipped his palm, and a pearl emitting a azure glow, as if containing an entire vast ocean, appeared in his palm.

A Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure—Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!

This was originally Cang Lan Daoist Lord's Lifebound Treasure, forcibly seized by Lu Yuan and its imprint erased.

"This pearl contains the vast Origin of Water and the power of Spatial suppression. Although it differs from your Beiming Ice Soul Body, water and ice share the same Origin. If you can refine it and combine it with your Ice Soul Cold Qi, it will be able to unleash the full power of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!"

Lu Yuan handed the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to her, saying, "You have just joined my Sect and do not yet have a suitable Magic Treasure. I will give this to you for self-defense."

Xiao Yuechan stared blankly at the priceless Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure, her eyes instantly reddening.

A Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure!

Even though she was a Saintess in the Heavenly Demon Sect, not even Gu Changge had ever bestowed such a treasure upon her; he even wanted to sacrifice her with blood.

Yet Lu Yuan not only saved her life but also casually gifted her such a valuable treasure.

"Thank you, Benefactor!"

Xiao Yuechan tremblingly took the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, a warm current surging in her heart. Her gratitude and admiration for Lu Yuan reached their peak at this moment.

She knew that she had truly followed the right person this time.

After comforting Xiao Yuechan, Lu Yuan looked at Gu Qingxue.

"Qingxue."

"Husband." Gu Qingxue stepped forward, her demeanor still aloof, but her eyes were incredibly gentle.

Lu Yuan took out the Asura Sacred Flame he had obtained from the Xuanyin Old Devil, as well as a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure called the Yin Evil Pearl.

"Although this Asura Sacred Flame is a Demonic Flame, the Yin Evil power it contains is extremely pure. You Cultivate the Dao of Taiyin. If you can devour and fuse it with your Taiyin True Fire, it will certainly double the power of your Taiyin Divine Light."

"And this Yin Evil Pearl, together with the taiyin treasure mirror, forms a perfect offense and defense, complementing each other."

Gu Qingxue accepted the two treasures, nodded slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips: "Thank you for your trouble, Husband."

She didn't say anything overly sentimental because she knew that she and Lu Yuan were already inseparable.

"Keep the remaining Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, and the basic Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals from each Sect."

Lu Yuan handed the Storage Ring filled with resources to Gu Qingxue: "After we return, put them into the Sect treasury and reward them to the Disciples according to their merits. For Azure Cloud Sect to truly dominate the Eastern Wilderness, relying solely on us is not enough; we need countless core forces."

"This concubine understands." Gu Qingxue solemnly accepted it. She was the Sect Master of Azure Cloud Sect, and managing the Sect was her strong suit.

With the distribution of treasures complete, the matter of the Six Demonic Sects was finally settled.

"Let's go, back to the Sect."

Lu Yuan waved his large sleeve, Law of Space circulated, directly enveloping Fairy Lengyue, Xiao Yuechan, Gu Qingxue, and others. They transformed into a brilliant stream of light, tearing through the Void Realm, and swiftly sped towards the direction of Zhao State... Azure Cloud Sect, Longevity Peak.

When Lu Yuan and his group descended, the entire Sect erupted in excitement.

The Old Ancestor had returned, bringing with him the astonishing achievement of destroying the Six Demonic Sects, and had even brought Guanghan Palace, a colossal entity, under their control as a sub-branch. These events made the Azure Cloud Sect Disciples stand taller than ever before.

However, Lu Yuan didn't pay attention to the external clamor.

After returning to Longevity Peak, his first priority was to go to the Forbidden Ground herb garden in the back mountain.

The Spiritual Qi here was the most concentrated, and he had personally set up numerous Spirit Gathering Formations.

Lu Yuan walked to the center of the herb garden, to the reserved empty space.

He flipped his palm, and the Jade Box sealing the Enlightenment Tea Tree appeared in his hand.

"Enlightenment Tea Tree... finally, you can see the light of day again."

A hint of anticipation flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Then, he took out the lump of soil emitting nine-colored auspicious light, seemingly as heavy as a thousand jun.

It was precisely the Nine Heavens Breath Soil!
