Qing Si achieves significant cultivation progress while Li Zhirui struggles to integrate a new ability into his technique. Li Zhirui decides to put the matter aside and continue cultivating, while Qing Si remains in seclusion. Li Zhirui emerges to find Qing Si still cultivating and begins refining pills for protection, contemplating the value of low-rank spiritual objects.

Moreover, certain Devil Spirits have materialized within the spatial realm, tasked with the cultivation of spiritual items and the augmentation of their quality. Despite the utility, this undertaking remains a considerable challenge. However, he can only entrust this duty, given the substantial and exclusive rewards it promises! Otherwise, would not the low-grade spiritual objects in his possession become utterly useless?

Li Zhirui, without entering the space, merely utilized his Divine Sense to survey its contents. Discovering the few Devil Spirits, he commanded, "Mu Yun, your primary objective is to elevate the quality of these spiritual objects. At a minimum, they must attain the Human Immortal Rank. Should you manage to reach the Earth Immortal Rank or even higher, exceptionally generous rewards will be bestowed upon you!"

"Throughout this period, any resources or Spirit Stones you require will be fully provided!"

Within the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, he had amassed over a thousand varieties of spiritual objects. Excluding a small number of Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal rank items, low-grade spiritual objects constituted ninety-eight percent. Faced with such a vast quantity of lesser items, it was impossible to enhance the quality of all of them. He could only select those suitable for refinement into special cultivation pills.

As for the remaining spiritual objects, their cultivation was maintained on a minimal scale, with regular tending to prevent their demise. In essence, they were left to their own fate, their potential for quality enhancement depending entirely on chance or natural accumulation.

"Understood, Master! We shall exert our utmost to fulfill this assignment."

These Devil Spirits, in their fear, dared not harbor any thoughts and bowed their heads, apprehensive of causing any trouble. "Hmm." Li Zhirui's response was indifferent. These Devil Spirits were not fundamentally different from his captive servants, merely possessing a degree of freedom; thus, his reply was curt.

Not long after Li Zhirui concluded these arrangements, Qing Si emerged from his cultivation.

"Jiu? You've finished your seclusion. Why didn't you summon me? Such a waste of time." Li Zhirui remarked, a hint of guilt in his tone.

"No matter, I did not squander this time, nor was it excessively prolonged."

Li Zhirui chuckled, "If you have no other pressing matters, perhaps we should depart from here?"

"I have no further engagements." With breakthroughs unattainable in cultivation at present, and the Realm requiring time to stabilize, further secluded cultivation would offer little benefit.

"Then, let us go." Before the words fully left his lips, the figures of both individuals vanished, their destination concealed.

Upon reappearing, they had traveled thousands of miles from their initial secluded location. The primary motivation for this relocation was the scarcity of spiritual objects in the vicinity, making a move to a more distant area a sensible choice.

Boom—

Whether by fate or misfortune, just as Li Zhirui and Qing Si materialized and before they could survey their surroundings, a thunderous roar assailed their ears. "Damn it!" Upon witnessing the unfolding situation, Li Zhirui could not repress an exclamation and swiftly propelled himself and Qing Si away.

It transpired that a Chaotic Storm had erupted in their proximity! Its considerable scale posed a significant threat, even to Li Zhirui. "A truly narrow escape; we were nearly pulled into the Chaotic Storm. In such an event, even I would have had no recourse but to seek refuge within the spatial realm."

As he observed the rampaging Chaotic Storm unleashing destructive energy nearby, a tremor of fear ran through Li Zhirui. It could be said that encounters with Chaotic Storms and Chaotic Maelstroms had been relatively infrequent over the years. However, this was not solely attributable to luck; the Void Chaos played a crucial role.

The higher the grade of the void, the greater its stability. Yet, in a certain sense, this is not entirely advantageous, as the storms and maelstroms it generates are often far more formidable. "Fortunately, Jiu, your reaction was swift; otherwise, we would have met our doom." Qing Si's countenance bore a relieved expression, having narrowly avoided peril.

Li Zhirui merely shook his head, his attention entirely engrossed in observing the Chaotic Storm, seemingly sensing the presence of hidden treasures within, thus delaying their departure. "Jiu?" Qing Si inquired, looking at him with puzzlement, unable to comprehend his reason for halting. "Let us wait until the storm completely dissipates." Though unaware of Li Zhirui's intentions, Qing Si obediently ceased questioning.

After an interval, the storm finally dissipated entirely. Throughout this period, they had pursued the storm, lest it vanish from their sight unexpectedly. Bang!

Once the final vestiges of the Chaotic Storm's energy were exhausted, a distinct sound echoed. It was revealed that within the area where the storm had subsided, two spiritual objects had manifested. "As anticipated!" Li Zhirui promptly moved forward and gathered the two spiritual objects into his possession.

One was a type of ore, black as coal yet shimmering with a myriad of colors. He couldn't identify this spiritual object, but judging by its potent Spirit Light, it appeared to be a Heavenly Immortal Rank spiritual object!

The other was a withered tree root, also unfamiliar. However, its Spirit Light was several times stronger than the ore, surpassing the Heavenly Immortal rank and reaching the Profound Immortal grade, or even higher.

"I never imagined two spiritual objects would be hidden within the Chaotic Storm!" Qing Si exclaimed with great excitement. "Jiu, how did you discover them?"

"I happened to catch a glimpse of the spirit ore, so I decided to stop and wait for the storm to subside."

The tree root was an entirely unexpected find for Li Zhirui, especially given its grade and having reached the Profound Immortal rank.

"Let's go, there's nothing else worth staying for."

Considering that a terrifying Chaotic Storm had just raged through the area, common spiritual objects would certainly have been disintegrated. Those that remained intact, like the ore and the wilted tree root, would be found within the storm's aftermath.

The two had just arrived, and now they had to depart once more.

...

Flowers blossom, each revealing its unique branch.

Heavenly Immortal Realm Void Chaos.

Qingxuan, entering this realm for the first time to train, is currently engaged in a fierce battle with a Chaotic Fierce Beast.

Based on the strength displayed by both combatants, Qingxuan is the likely victor.

Of course, unforeseen circumstances could always arise.

However, such a situation did not unfold during this significant confrontation.

After a hard-fought struggle, he successfully vanquished the Chaotic Fierce Beast.

"Whew—"

This battle was exceptionally demanding and arduous for Qingxuan. He is not particularly skilled in offensive Divine Powers, having mastered the Bedrock Wood Law which emphasizes defense.

He was fully aware of this deficiency, recognizing the considerable flaws in his own abilities, and had been striving diligently to overcome them.

The carcass of this Chaotic Fierce Beast stands as proof of his efforts!

"Hmm? Someone is approaching!?"

Just as Qingxuan was collecting his spoils, he sensed a mana fluctuation nearby, rapidly advancing in his direction.

This immediately put him on high alert, ready to retaliate at any moment.

But when the Spirit Light halted before him, revealing a familiar figure he hadn't seen in years, Qingxuan was utterly astonished.

"Aunt Fengwu?! What are you doing here?" he inquired, disbelief evident in his voice.

In the vast, boundless void, encountering a familiar acquaintance under such circumstances is extraordinarily improbable, almost impossible!

"Qingxuan, it's been a long time." Jiang Fengwu's face lit up with a smile. After years of cultivation in the void, she had finally encountered someone she knew.

As for how she found Qingxuan, it was pure chance; she happened to be in the vicinity, comprehending Chaos Array Patterns, and detected the battle emanating from his location. She then flew over with the intention of claiming the spoils.

It was only upon reaching the area that she realized it was Qingxuan.

"I never thought we'd meet in the void like this."

After hearing Jiang Fengwu's explanation, he was still deeply moved by the encounter.

"Indeed, it feels truly fated."

"How has the family been developing over the years? To what level have Sheng and Shuo cultivated?"

"Before I departed, the family's progress was quite ordinary; we hadn't seen a new Heavenly Immortal in many years. As for Cheng Sheng and Cheng Shuo, those siblings have remained in seclusion within the Divine Domain, diligently working to repay their karmic debts."
