Cang Beihe declared the treasures of the Qiuqing Divine Hall's domain to be his own, intimidating Di Huo and his allies into silence. Avis challenged Cang Beihe, but before a fight could ensue, Anivia arrived. She initially offered to help Di Huo's group besiege Ye Jiang, but upon seeing Avis, she withdrew her support. Avis then proposed an alliance with Cang Beihe to defeat Anivia, but Cang Beihe refused, stating he would challenge her later. Anivia, deeming the situation dull, departed to pursue a Chaos Origin treasure. With Cang Beihe's dominance established, Thunder Ash and Burn Mountain retreated, heading deeper into the Dragon Whale Nest. Bai Qing explained the immense value of Chaos Origin treasures, which could enhance one's Dao Planet, prompting Ye Jiang's realization about the others' hasty retreat.

Compared to the Chaos Origin treasures, even the Chaos Soul Lotus here seems insignificant.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ye was deep in thought.

"Attack!"

"Slay the dragon whale." Bai Qing, Black Obsidian, and the three Venerable Gods of the Northern Frontier erupted simultaneously, their divine might sweeping across the lair.

"Boom——!!!"

The heavens and earth changed color, Chaos Qi surged wildly!

The dragon whale roared, its hundred-thousand-meter body stirring the void, battling with the god-level entities!

Jiang Ye, Bingli, and others provided support from the sidelines to prevent unexpected events.

The great battle lasted half an incense stick’s time.

The dragon whale, with its abundant life force, was extremely powerful, but under the siege of numerous Venerable Gods, it finally couldn’t hold on and was slowly worn down.

At the moment of its fall.

Blossoms of chaos-colored soul lotuses bloomed forth, their divine soul waves soaring into the sky.

The [Chaos Soul Lotus] finally revealed itself!

It had nine lotus petals, each containing vast divine soul power, emanating a heart-palpitating wave.

A high-tier divine soul treasure!

"Collect!" Bai Qing waved his hand, picking the [Chaos Soul Lotus] and distributing it among everyone.

As the core of the group, Jiang Ye received three lotuses, while others got only one or lower-grade dragon whale materials.

"Hiss!"

The moment Jiang Ye received the Chaos Soul Lotus, he felt his body tremble, as if even his soul had been purified.

"Truly a high-level divine soul treasure." Jiang Ye was filled with anticipation: "With these, the progress of my soul transformation will surely accelerate greatly."

At this moment.

"Ye Jiang."

"Take my share." Bingli offered her lotus to Jiang Ye.

"Fellow Daoist Bingli?" Jiang Ye was slightly surprised.

"Take it."

"In the past year, I’ve roamed the Star Sky Forbidden Land, and I have enough soul treasures." Bingli’s voice remained cold as before: "No need to take more."

"Moreover..."

She paused, a hint of complexity flashing through her eyes: "Both Lei Hao and I, in fact, can breakthrough to the Third Gate of Divinity at any time."

"We are only refining our divine powers, pursuing deeper foundations."

Jiang Ye was silent for a moment, then asked: "Why give it to me?"

Bingli was slightly stunned, then an imperceptible wave flashed through her clear eyes.

"Because..."

She spoke softly, her voice tinged with an indescribable emotion: "I want to see how far you can go."

"During the Hundred-Star Divine War, you defeated me."

"I want to know if, in the future, you can defeat more people."

"Including..."

She paused and didn’t continue.

But Jiang Ye already understood.

Including those true prodigies, including Avis, including Cangbei Crane, and even—

The top three!

"Thank you."

Jiang Ye no longer declined. After pondering for a moment, he took out a token from his bosom.

The [Divine Decree] was given by Venerable Bai.

"This can summon divine techniques three times." He handed the token to Bingli: "Let’s trade, fair exchange."

Bingli was taken aback, her eyes showing a complex color.

She initially intended to give it without asking for anything in return.

But Jiang Ye’s clear distinction between exchanges stirred an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

After a moment of silence, Bingli accepted the Divine Decree and nodded gently.

"Alright."

...

After the distribution of treasures was complete.

The group no longer lingered and swiftly headed toward the core of the dragon whale’s lair.

At the core of the dragon whale’s lair.

The gray Chaos Qi was extremely dense, almost solidifying.

In the distance, a swirling chaos-colored crystal stone floated quietly in the void, emanating an original and terrifying aura.

The [Chaos Origin Treasure · Chaos Primal Stone]!

"Is that the Chaos Origin Treasure?"

"It truly is a supreme treasure." Jiang Ye felt a strong tremor from the depths of his soul, a resonance from his life origin upon sensing the supreme treasure!

"Everyone."

"The Chaos Origin Treasure, I am determined to obtain it." Cangbei Crane, in fluttering white garments, said deeply: "Please assist me, and I will certainly repay you generously in the future."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qing did not respond immediately, but looked toward Jiang Ye.

After some contemplation, Jiang Ye spoke: "We can cooperate, let’s deal with the other teams first."

"However."

"I have no intention of handing over the Chaos Origin Treasure easily." Jiang Ye said.

Cangbei Crane was slightly stunned.

Given his status, he quickly understood Jiang Ye’s meaning.

Cooperation was possible, but after dealing with the other teams, Jiang Ye would compete with him for the ownership of the supreme treasure!

"In that case."

"Let’s each rely on our abilities." Cangbei Crane said calmly.

He was a bit puzzled; despite Jiang Ye not having completed the Three Gates of Divinity, he dared to make such a childish claim of contending with him.

But ultimately, since Jiang Ye could be considered half a person of the Cai Kun Civilization, he should not be offended too much.

"Ye Jiang."

"Ranked seventieth on the Starry Sky Powerhouse List?" Cangbei Crane glanced at the list unintentionally, regaining his composure.

Arrogant?

Or concealing hidden cards?

The truth would likely soon be revealed.
