Jing Mumu initially tried to claim most of the golden spiritual Qi, but after much debate, a compromise was reached. The upper echelons intervened, establishing a fifty-fifty split between Jing Mumu and the other alliances. The alliances agreed to allocate the golden spiritual Qi based on territory to avoid further conflict. A month later, Jing Mumu had amassed a significant amount of spiritual Qi and refined a god artifact, her strength becoming even more unfathomable. The gigantic spring eventually vanished, leaving behind no spiritual Qi, and the attention of all Immortal Emperors turned to Jing Mumu.

Jing Mumu smiled resplendently. She handed a gourd over to Jian Chen like she was taking credit for completing her mission. “Master, have I successfully completed the task you’ve given me?”

“You’ve exceeded my expectations. Mumu, I witnessed your entire performance in the Taiji mountain range. You’ve brought pride to your master!” Jian Chen chuckled, praising her from the bottom of his heart.

Shortly afterwards, he accepted the gourd from Jing Mumu. The gourd was larger on the inside, the size of a miniature world. However, it was divided into three independent regions. One was filled with regular Taiji spiritual Qi and another was filled with the Taiji spiritual Qi from the gigantic spring.

This spiritual Qi was purer than regular Taiji spiritual Qi. Its effects were ten times more potent, so it could be described as high quality spiritual Qi.

As for the third region, it was for golden spiritual Qi.

There were almost a thousand strands of golden spiritual Qi.

And two thousand five hundred strands of high quality spiritual Qi.

The regular Taiji spiritual Qi was instead the fewest in quantity. There were only eight hundred strands!

That was Jing Mumu’s entire harvest from the Taiji mountain range.

After receiving Jian Chen’s praise, Jing Mumu smiled even more widely.

With a flip of his hand, the gourd containing all the Taiji spiritual Qi vanished. Jian Chen had already sent it into the Primeval Divine Hall secretively.

The Taiji spiritual Qi could not be kept for long. Its effects would weaken with time. He handed all of the Taiji spiritual Qi to elder Nong and told him to pick a group of disciples to nurture.

Taiji spiritual Qi was useless to experts. Its greatest usage was to nurture the mainstay of a sect. The strength of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would evidently increase once all these strands of Taiji spiritual Qi had been allocated.

However, only the mainstay would strengthen. The peak strength would not change at all.

Xue Ji silently appeared behind Jian Chen. She stared at Jing Mumu closely with a special emotion in her eyes.

“Master!” At this moment, a voice filled with mixed feelings ran out. Jing Yao slowly emerged from the group of disciples from the Black Demon Palace. Her eyes were red, staring at Xue Ji as tears rolled down her cheeks.

She had far too many questions. Why did her master suddenly leave the Black Demon Palace? Why did she leave without saying farewell to her, without even seeing her own disciple? And why was she with Jing Mumu’s master?

She was the partner of the strongest ancestor of the Black Demon Palace, the Black Heaven Master, so why would she leave with Jing Mumu’s master, a scrawny old man?

“Greetings, great elder Xue!” Ye Kai and the disciples from the Black Demon palace all bowed towards Xue Ji as well. They showed great respect.

Apart from Jing Yao, none of them knew that great elder Xue Shuangyue had already left the Black Demon Palace.

Xue Ji moved her gaze away from Jing Mumu and slowly glanced past the disciples from the Black Demon Palace before stopping on Jing Yao.

Only when she saw Jing Yao did she reveal a hint of mixed emotion. After a moment of silence, she discreetly communicated to Jing Yao, “”

Jing Yao’s heart trembled. Xue Ji’s message made her understand that her master still cared quite a bit about her, but she was forced to leave the Black Demon Palace. Perhaps it was due to some painful reasons that she could not disclose.

Jing Yao’s lips trembled. She endured the pain inside her and simply stared at Xue Ji quietly.

She had a very strong feeling that once her master left this time, it probably would not be that easy for them to meet again.

Perhaps they would never be able to meet again.

Jian Chen seemed to read what Jing Yao was thinking. He smiled gently. “”

When she heard that, Jing Yao subconsciously looked at Jian Chen. As Jian Chen had disguised both his appearance and presence, Jing Yao did not know his true identity. However, when she met Jian Chen’s gaze, a strange feeling welled up inside her.

There was a feeling of familiarity as if she had met this person before.

And it was not as simple as a single meeting.

However, Jing Yao could swear to the heavens that she had never met this person before.

“Greetings senior. My name is Jing Yao. How may I refer to you?” Jing Yao clasped her fist towards Jian Chen. She was very polite.

Jian Chen glanced deeply at Jing Yao and chuckled. “You don’t need to try and investigate who I am. Knowing too much about some things will only be detrimental to you.”

Jing Yao narrowed her eyes slightly. From Jian Chen’s mysterious smile, she could sense that he seemed to be extremely familiar with her. This sense of familiarity was not one-sided either. It was impossible for him to reveal an expression like that without a prolonged period of contact.

“” Jing Yao became even more puzzled as if there were ants crawling inside her, leaving her agitated. She was tempted to get to the bottom of this at this very moment.

Jing Mumu also looked at her master with suspicion. The way her master treated Jing Yao was a little different.

At this moment, a few Immortal Emperors gradually gathered around Jian Chen. They were all experts from various organisations on the Taiji Heaven. There were great elders from peak organisations, as well as ancestors of their own organisations.

But at this moment, many of them congratulated Jian Chen with friendly smiles. They all expressed undisguised envy towards how he had a disciple as outstanding as Jing Mumu.

During this period, some of the Immortal Emperors asked if they could exchange for some of the golden spiritual Qi in Jian Chen’s possession, but he turned them all down.

At this moment, a tremendous presence suddenly appeared, instantly enveloping the entire Taiji mountain range.

This presence was completely spread out. It did not target any particular person. However, it still made the entire Taiji mountain range fall into silence when it appeared. Many of the conversing Immortal Emperors subconsciously shut their mouths.

The presence came from an Immortal Exalt!

The trials in the Taiji mountain range would basically never attract figures like Immortal Exalts. After all, no matter how precious the Taiji spiritual Qi was, it could only be used to nurture the mainstay of an organisation. It was already more than enough for an Immortal Emperor to manage this matter.

But at this moment, the Taiji mountain range had actually welcomed an Immortal Exalt, which immediately drew over everyone’s attention.

“I am one of the three ancestors of the Blade Sect of Trickling Moon, Yue Buluo. The disciples of the sect call me ancestor Yue. Greetings, fellow.” An elderly voice then rang out. A bald old man appeared three hundred metres away from Jian Chen.

He seemed extremely elderly. His face was covered with wrinkles. They even squeezed his eyes shut, only leaving behind two slits.

However, even though he seemed like he was already at death’s door with one foot in the grave, the pressure he gave off was so powerful that it left all of the Immortal Emperors wary. Jian Chen was the only exception.

Yue Buluo, ancestor Yue of the Blade Sect of Trickling Moon, was a peak First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. He was only a step away from the Second Heavenly Layer.

However, he had already remained at the peak of the First Heavenly Layer for two million years now. It was very difficult to say if he would ever reach the Second Heavenly Layer.

After reaching Immortal Exalt, each step forward was extremely difficult. It was no longer just about personal talent and potential but also an accumulation of good fortune.

Faced with the proactive greetings from an Immortal Exalt, even the great elder of an organisation as powerful as the Cosmic Grotto would reply cautiously, afraid to show any disrespect. However, Jian Chen did not seem to be looking at him at all. Instead, he glanced at Xue Ji.

He could already sense that from the moment ancestor Yue appeared, Xue Ji’s face became rather cold. As a matter of fact, a hint of obscure killing intent flashed through the depths of her eyes.

She was not able to fool everyone present with this hint of killing intent. Some of the late Immortal Emperors nearby sensed it.

Ancestor Yue obviously sensed it as well, but he ignored it. The Blade Sect of Trickling Moon and the Black Demon Palace were enemies. Xue Ji obviously would not have any good impression of the Blade Sect of Trickling Moon. However, her relationship with the Black Heaven Master also prevented ancestor Yue from doing anything.

However, ancestor Yue could not help but furrow his brows in response to Jian Chen’s rudeness. As an impressive Immortal Exalt, he was proactively greeting an Immortal Emperor junior. He was already showing great respect, yet Jian Chen refused to return the favour, completely ignoring him.

However, in consideration of Jian Chen’s unfathomable, mysterious background, ancestor Yue could only dismiss his displeasure. He sucked in a deep breath and continued, “I’ve come as a representative of the Blade Sect of Trickling Moon. I hope you can confirm some matters for me. If I come off as rude, please forgive me.”

“What do you want to confirm?” Jian Chen looked at ancestor Yue and said calmly.

“On the Taiji Heaven, the animosity between our Blade Sect of Trickling Moon and the Black Heaven Palace is not a secret. I’ve come in hopes of confirming whether you’ll interfere with our feud,” Ancestor Yue said sternly. Their Blade Sect of Trickling Moon did not fear any Immortal Emperors. What they were truly wary about was Jian Chen’s background and origins.

After all, how could he be an ordinary person if he could produce such an outstanding disciple?

“I have no interest in your feud.” Jian Chen said easily.

When he heard that, ancestor Yue seemed to let out a sigh of relief. For once, he squeezed out a small smile on his wrinkly face. Both Jian Chen’s tone and attitude gave off a hint of indifference towards the Blade Sect of Trickling Moon and the Black Demon Palace, which without a doubt confirmed ancestor Yue’s thoughts even further.

The person before him definitely came from a significant background.

At this moment, Xue Ji suddenly turned towards Jian Chen. Endless coldness seemed to surge through the depths of her eyes. She directly said, “Can you help me kill someone?”

Jian Chen was taken aback as if he had never expected Xue Ji to come up with such a request in public. He subconsciously looked at her and asked, “Who?”

“Yue Buluo of the Blade Sect of Trickling Moon!” Xue Ji said as she basically ground her teeth. It seemed as if she had a blood feud with Yue Buluo.

Jian Chen furrowed his brows slightly. He really did not want to get involved in the feud between the Black Demon Palace and the Blade Sect of Trickling Moon.

Seeing Jian Chen’s hesitance, Xue Ji’s lips moved gently. She communicated to Jian Chen, “”
