Jiang Fan used the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber to instantly kill the Nine Nether Venomous Toad and then destroyed the Cyan Crane Demon Cave's core. As the Demon Cave collapsed, Jiang Fan used the Exquisite Tower to collect and incinerate all the remaining demons, turning them into fertilizer for the tower. He reflected on his increased strength, noting how easily he destroyed this cave compared to previous encounters.
Boom~~ With the complete annihilation of the Cyan Stone Demon Cave, Jiang Fan felt a tremor in his heart and gazed skyward. A mystical beam of light descended instantly, and he sensed a vast, pure Origin Energy stirring within him, akin to profound enlightenment from above. The Primordial Magical Power surged visibly, a testament to a gift bestowed by the Heavenly Dao of the Spirit Ruins Realm, much like his previous encounter after destroying the cave. This sensation was comparable to consuming a Tier Seven Elixir, propelling his cultivation forward. He realized that fully absorbing this Origin Energy would effortlessly propel him to the Second-Layer Integration. "So this is the opportunity from the Spirit Ruins Realm," he mused. "No need to seek Tier Seven Spirit Medicine or Elixirs anymore. Simply aiding the Spirit Ruins Realm by destroying Demon Caves and repelling demonic incursions is enough to receive a Heavenly Dao gift, allowing cultivation to advance rapidly." Jiang Fan's eyes gleamed with excitement. He understood that such preferential treatment, utilizing the world's Origin Energy, typically arises only during a crisis in a Great Thousand World. Normally, the Heavenly Dao would be reluctant to expend its own essence. However, with the world nearing destruction, offering rewards to local cultivators was a necessary measure to ensure a future. These Demon Caves were like malignant growths polluting the world's origin. Their destruction was akin to surgical removal, allowing the Heavenly Dao to reclaim and even absorb the residual Origin Energy, thereby compensating for prior losses. Thus, imparting Origin Energy to incentivize cultivators was a logical strategy, especially since obliterating a Demon Cave was no small feat, with local forces rarely succeeding. Furthermore, Jiang Fan's solitary efforts meant he received the entire reward, unlike collaborative group successes where the bounty would be shared. Whoosh! With this realization, Jiang Fan activated the Gate of the Void, instantly returning to the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall. As his presence registered, a message forcefully entered his consciousness: "You reached the Cyan Stone Demon Cave, encountered demonic attacks, and after a desperate struggle, slew numerous demons, destroyed the Cyan Stone Demon Cave, and successfully averted mortal peril. Reward: Three billion Luck Points and a First-Grade Opportunity." Jiang Fan stroked his chin, immensely pleased. He had finally navigated this peril safely. Within the Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Ruins, demonic pursuit was virtually impossible. "A First-Grade Opportunity? It must be among the treasures I've acquired," he thought, eager to discover its nature. Such opportunities were rare and highly prized in the Mortal World. Boom~~ His divine sense swept over the vast hoard of treasures collected from the Cyan Stone Demon Cave, piled high within the Exquisite Tower. These items were largely spoils plundered by demons from other human cultivators. "An astounding two hundred thousand Immortal Stones!" he exclaimed. "Truly, crime yields riches, while honest dealings leave no trace." He marveled at the disparity, comparing it to the meager ten thousand Immortal Stones the Mixed Element Alliance earned through legitimate trade. The two hundred thousand Immortal Stones from destroying the cave represented overnight wealth, enough to purchase countless other treasures. He clicked his tongue in awe.* Irrespective of its use for acquiring valuable artifacts, the potent Qi residing within these Immortal Stones possessed the capacity to significantly bolster one's cultivation journey, dramatically accelerating the process. * "Hold on, this is a Tier Eight material – Golden Crow Iron." * "How did such a rare material end up here?" * Jiang Fan's eyes widened in surprise. * He also observed that nestled amongst the other treasures were numerous scarce materials. * Any single one of these, if presented individually, would hold immense worth. * However, one particular material instantly seized his focus: it was roughly the size of a tight fist, radiating a golden hue and exuding an incessant warmth, much like a miniature sun. * It appeared to perpetually scorch the very fabric of the surrounding void. * Upon its emergence, the ambient temperature skyrocketed by thousands of degrees, sufficient to liquefy a multitude of substances. * Vaguely discernible within its depths, a Divine Beast, the Golden Crow, seemed to be contained.
