"Greetings, Young Master!" Du Qingrou said softly to Jiang Li.
Du Qingrou's eyes were filled with joy. She hadn't seen Jiang Li in a long time and missed him dearly.
"Let's head west first!" Jiang Li continued, speaking to Du Qingrou.
Jiang Li intended to obtain the Divine Fusion Water first.
After all, it was a necessity for merging with other physiques and was extremely important to him.
Qingrou nodded. After being controlled by Jiang Li's Spirit Control Technique, she was already completely devoted to him.
Her entire being belonged to Jiang Li.
She would do her utmost to fulfill all of Jiang Li's requests.
Immediately after, Jiang Li led Du Qingrou to the area where the Divine Fusion Water was located.
With Du Qingrou present, the other sea monsters around did not dare to have any thoughts about Jiang Li and his group.
After all, Du Qingrou was the princess of the Flood Dragon tribe, and her escorts were also powerful Flood Dragon experts.
Although the Flood Dragon tribe could not compare to the top-tier demon races like the True Dragon tribe.
They were still considered a first-class powerful race in the Heavenly Star Sea, with considerable strength.
No foolish sea monster dared to provoke them.
"Young Master, I won the first place in the last Dragon Pearl competition, so I have quite a bit of influence within the Flood Dragon tribe now. If you need anything, feel free to command me at any time!" Du Qingrou said to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up. First place in the Dragon Pearl competition.
"Good, good. Keep up the effort and strive to control the entire Flood Dragon tribe soon!" Jiang Li patted Du Qingrou's hair and continued.
"I also have to thank you, Young Master. If you hadn't killed Du Yanghui in the Tai Yin Valley before, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to control his forces and win the Dragon Pearl competition!" Du Qingrou added.
The two continued to speed forward, and Jiang Li also asked Du Qingrou about other matters concerning the Heavenly Star Sea.
Du Qingrou answered each question, greatly broadening Jiang Li's knowledge.
"By the way, Qingrou, do you know about the large-scale top-grade spirit stone mine in the Eastern Star Sea Region?" Jiang Li asked, as if remembering something.
Jiang Li did not have much understanding of this large-scale top-grade spirit stone mine.
Even the elders of the Primeval Demon Sect had not provided much information.
They had simply placed the numerous disciples on Falling Star Sea Island and then left.
Du Qingrou pondered for a moment, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a subtle gleam.
"Young Master, that large-scale spirit stone mine is jointly mined by the six major powers. They usually guard it extremely strictly, blocking all investigations!" Du Qingrou then spoke.
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed. Blocking all investigations.
It seemed there was no hope of getting any useful information from Du Qingrou.
"However, not long ago, I heard my father say that it seems quite a few cultivators died in that top-grade spirit stone mine. The surrounding sea area was filled with monstrous blood energy, but it dissipated quickly, and the news was strictly suppressed!" Du Qingrou seemed to recall something and continued.
Monstrous blood energy, quite a few cultivators died.
Jiang Li's heart sank. Could that spirit stone mine really be problematic?
But if that were the case, why would they gather so many disciples to go there?
Moreover, those who went there were all elite disciples of the Primeval Demon Sect, even the divine sons and divine daughters had arrived.
If anything were to go wrong...
Never mind, he would just be more mindful of safety then. If there was real danger, with his own means, self-preservation would not be an issue.
Before long, Jiang Li and Du Qingrou arrived at the area containing the Divine Fusion Water.
Jiang Li obtained the Divine Fusion Water without much effort.
The amount of Divine Fusion Water contained within was not large, only enough to merge with a physique once.
However, Jiang Li did not pay too much attention to it. He would have opportunities to find more Divine Fusion Water in the future.
Besides, he did not have powerful physique blood essence to fuse with at the moment.
He could collect it slowly.
"Now let's find a safe place. I need to go into seclusion to cultivate and break through my realm!" Jiang Li then said to Du Qingrou.
Du Qingrou nodded and led Jiang Li to a nearby sea area of their Flood Dragon tribe.
...
Eastern Star Sea Region.
In a luxurious Dragon Palace.
It was filled with radiant splendor, and the various luxurious decorations were extremely dazzling.
Around the Dragon Palace, many Flood Dragon tribe guards patrolled.
Du Qingrou took Jiang Li on a tour of the Dragon Palace.
Especially in the Dragon Palace's private chambers, Jiang Li and Du Qingrou revisited the many advanced techniques from before in Tai Yin Valley.
Du Qingrou spared no effort in satisfying Jiang Li's every desire.
Jiang Li also experienced a feeling of exquisite pleasure after a long time.
After half a day of debauchery, Jiang Li, feeling refreshed, entered the Dragon Palace's secret chamber to prepare to break through his realm.
In the secret chamber of the sea dragon palace.
Jiang Li sat cross-legged in the center of the secret chamber. He slowly took out the Star Sacred Crystal from his spatial ring.
The moment the Star Sacred Crystal was taken out, Jiang Li's Heaven Swallowing Divine Body erupted with powerful force.
Countless spiritual energies were devoured into Jiang Li's body under the domineering devouring power of the Heaven Swallowing Divine Body.
Jiang Li's [Reincarnation Immortal Scripture] was also circulating to its extreme, rapidly digesting the power absorbed by the Heaven Swallowing Divine Body.
As Jiang Li continuously devoured, the Sacred Yuan within his body grew increasingly strong.
He was getting closer and closer to the fourth level of the Saint King realm.
Time flowed by slowly.
...
Heavenly Star Sea.
Falling Star Sea Island.
At this time, Falling Star Sea Island was still extremely bustling.
The sea breeze blew around, bringing a considerable coolness to the beautiful island.
On the island, many disciples of the Primeval Demon Sect roamed around, admiring the surrounding scenery.
On another side of the island, there was an area with extremely dense spiritual energy.
Here was a precious spiritual spring, and many prodigies of the Primeval Demon Sect were absorbing spiritual energy here to enhance their strength.
Within the spiritual spring, a youth whose body was flashing with star power was continuously absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
The star power, mixed with the surrounding spiritual energy, made the youth's aura extremely powerful and daunting.
Many disciples nearby looked at this youth with fanaticism.
"Divine Son, someone from the Chaos Sacred Land has come to our Falling Star Sea Island and injured quite a few of our disciples!" At this moment, an urgent voice sounded around the spiritual spring.
The disciples surrounding the spiritual spring all showed looks of anger.
How dare people from the Chaos Sacred Land injure their Primeval Demon Sect disciples? They were tired of living.
Ye Wushang slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with icy coldness, and his aura became extremely sharp.
"Who from the Chaos Sacred Land is it!" Ye Wushang asked menacingly.
To dare injure their Primeval Demon Sect disciples here, they were truly tired of living.
"He said his name is Zhou Tong, and he's from the Hegemon Body lineage!"
