Li Chen discovered that the incense he held was an Epoch Supreme Treasure called Yu Hun Xiang. Although its spirituality was lost, the Seven Realms Tome explained it could aid cultivation. Li Chen attempted to ignite it using telekinesis, a skill of the Yu Clan, and succeeded. Inhaling the Yu Hun Xiang's scent caused Li Chen to experience a rapid cultivation breakthrough, entering the Void Realm. However, the incense's powerful aura began to attract attention.

"Roar!!!"

"Ow!!!"

The first thing Li Chen heard was the roars of various ferocious demons, followed by the stern shouts of cultivators.

"A treasure has emerged!"

"Hurry! Act fast! If we’re late, it won’t be ours!"

"What exactly is it? Just a whiff of scent has made me feel my cultivation has advanced significantly!"

"Get lost! The treasure is mine!!"

Li Chen closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly opened them again, his face turning grim.

Indeed, the power of Yu Hun Xiang is too great; just within the range of his Divine Soul perception, all creatures have been strongly stimulated and rushed towards this direction immediately.

Moreover, beyond the range of his perception, who knows how many beings are speeding this way.

Yu Hun Xiang is indeed a good thing, but at the same time, it is a scourge for Li Chen.

Even Red Moon and the Seven Realms Tome are also with drastically changing expressions.

Because they’ve noticed the unrest of the heavens and the earth.

It’s the upheaval caused by the simultaneous surge of too many cultivators’ auras.

Who knows how many cultivators have gone insane and are rushing over because of the slightest scent emitted by Yu Hun Xiang.

Li Chen made a decision in the first moment, looked at the Yu Hun Xiang in his hand, and pinched off a piece the size of half a fingernail.

In the next moment, Li Chen directly put away Yu Hun Xiang.

Or to be precise, the Seven Realms Tome put it away.

Li Chen, on the other hand, immediately stored the Seven Realms Tome into his Sea of Consciousness.

This way, unless someone breaks into his Sea of Consciousness, no one can find the existence of Yu Hun Xiang.

As expected, in just a few breaths’ time, a space near Li Chen was torn open, and a powerful figure with a strong aura emerged.

Heaven and Earth Realm!

Without a doubt, the one who came by tearing through the space is an Ancient Ancestor.

With the appearance of the Ancient Ancestor, it seemed to open some sort of constraint, causing the space to occasionally tear open, revealing Palm Realm powerhouses. Their eyes swept around before fixing upon Li Chen.

If Li Chen’s side hadn’t emitted a powerful aura from Red Moon’s presence, these people might have already made their move.

Another space was torn open, and an old man walked out.

Seeing the situation around, he frowned slightly and ultimately fixed his gaze on Li Chen.

"Again, it’s you?"

Li Chen’s mind processed the situation a few times before he ended up with a calm smile: "Daoist Friend of Qingqiu, we meet again."

The Demon Saint of Qingqiu nodded: "I haven’t asked for your name before, which was truly my oversight."

"Red Dust," Li Chen said with a light chuckle.

"Secular Taoist Friend of Red Dust," the Demon Saint of Qingqiu’s eyes lit up, realizing that although everyone around was glancing vigilantly, their gaze ultimately landed back on Li Chen.

"Earlier, I caught a whiff of a special scent that revitalizes the spirit. Might you know the origin of that smell, Secular Taoist Friend?"

Hearing the words of the Demon Saint of Qingqiu, the faces of the surrounding Palm Realm powerhouses also changed slightly and turned solemn.

Regardless, although they too are Palm Realm powerhouses, they are merely Ancient Ancestors of the Heaven and Earth Realm; however strong their combat power is, they can’t compare to a true Dao Saint.

It’s vital to recognize that even when Li Chen was at his peak state, he couldn’t match a real Dao Saint, let alone these powerhouses.

The presence of the Demon Saint of Qingqiu was undeniably bad news for them.

Moreover, they noticed the attitude of the Demon Saint of Qingqiu towards the white-haired youth holding the treasure seemed peculiar.

Daoist Friend?

Isn’t this a term of address exclusive to peers of the same grade?

Could it be that this white-haired youth, who appears to have Mid-Heaven realm cultivation, is also a Dao Saint?

Just as they thought of this, they noticed the sky’s anomaly.

"Is this... tribulation clouds?"

The Demon Saint of Qingqiu also lifted his head, eyebrows slightly raised.

Tribulation clouds only appear when low-level cultivators undergo tribulations; why are they appearing now?

Could it be...

The Demon Saint of Qingqiu gave Li Chen a peculiar look.

He remembered when he saw the white-haired youth named Red Dust before, the other seemingly had only Earth-Level cultivation.

Yet the Dao Saint-level Divine Soul fluctuation made him abandon that thought.

But now... it seems the cultivation of this Secular Taoist Friend of Red Dust has somehow reached the Mid-Heaven Realm?

Noting the gaze of the Demon Saint of Qingqiu, Li Chen’s heart tightened slightly.

At such a moment, he must not let others detect that he is merely a sham Dao Saint.

Especially now, with not only the Demon Saint of Qingqiu as a Dao Saint-level existence but also over a dozen Heaven and Earth Realm Ancient Ancestors present.

Under such an array of powerful beings, even Red Moon could not break out.

"I’m sorry for the spectacle this has become, Daoist Friend of Qingqiu, and everyone else," Li Chen said with composure, nodding slightly to the Demon Saint of Qingqiu. "I simply sought to re-experience the path I’ve walked, but with so many present, I wouldn’t want to dampen your spirits."

With that, Li Chen gently looked up at the accumulated tribulation clouds.

"Disperse."

A soft call echoed.

"Boom!!!"

Within the tribulation clouds, a fierce shockwave erupted, followed by a sudden shattering.

Witnessing this, the Demon Saint of Qingqiu’s gaze returned to calmness.

While the faces of many Ancient Ancestors around showed slight changes.

With the emergence of far superior Divine Soul fluctuation during that crucial moment.

Just a single Soul Sound managed to make the tribulation clouds scatter; such prowess can only be described as fathomless.

"It seems he truly is a Dao Saint," many Heaven and Earth Realm Ancient Ancestors thought, sighing inwardly, believing that even with a treasure present, it had slipped beyond their reach.

Given a thousand courage, they wouldn’t dare steal from a Dao Saint!

Li Chen retained a smile, though inwardly fuming.

Each re-cultivation, each tribulation offers him enormous benefits; not to mention, the mere Body Refinement aspect advances with almost cheat-like strides.

Missing one heavenly tribulation equates to missing an opportunity.

"Never mind, it’s a relief it’s just Mid-Heaven’s tribulation; anger would peak if it were Calamity of the Heavenly King or venerable tribulation," Li Chen thought to himself for solace.

Just then, a nearby space was once more torn open.

A rugged figure stepped forth from the breach.

"I caught the scent of something valuable!"

The burly figure emerged from the fissure, a wild smile across his face, his gaze instantly locking onto Li Chen: "Kid, that scent seems... it came from you, didn’t it?"

Before Li Chen could respond, the figure reached out towards him with a colossal hand, its aura raging fiercely; unquestionably, he is yet another Dao Saint!
