Xia Qingying's mind was filled with questions about their destination, Tianxing Sea.
However, she felt mostly vigilance.
The Reincarnation Palace acted with abandon, and their power was terrifying. If they harbored ill intentions, the consequences would likely be dire.
"I hope the Grand Elders can truly succeed this time!" Xia Qingying murmured to herself.
Following this, everyone continued to discuss various matters in the great hall.
"This discussion concludes here. Everyone may disperse."
Half an hour later, it seemed everyone had finished their reports. Xia Qingying slowly spoke.
Everyone nodded and then orderly departed the Moxuan Hall.
Soon, the vast Moxuan Hall was left with only the cool and stunning Xia Qingying.
"Sister Xia, I'm hungry!"
Just then, a clear, bell-like voice echoed through the hall.
Immediately after, a young girl in a white, flowing fairy dress, with the delicate features of a carved jade, bit her finger and lunged towards Xia Qingying.
Seeing the girl before her, Xia Qingying's usually cool expression stiffened slightly for the first time.
"Xue'er, didn't you just finish eating a ten-thousand-year spirit herb this morning?" Xia Qingying looked at the adorable girl and said slowly.
After parting ways with Jiang Li in Zhongzhou, Jiang Li had also mentioned taking care of this little girl, Lin Xue'er.
Upon seeing this delicately carved little darling, Xia Qingying was completely captivated. She spoiled her endlessly, giving her anything she wanted.
However, Xia Qingying soon found herself regretting it, just like Mu Qingyu had before.
Lin Xue'er was simply too gluttonous. She ate only top-tier spirit fruits and herbs, insisting on them in their original state, not even accepting artificially cultivated ones.
Moreover, she ate several meals a day. Xia Qingying now felt a hint of panic whenever she saw Lin Xue'er.
"But I'm really hungry!" Lin Xue'er said, sucking her finger, her eyes sparkling.
Xia Qingying's eyelids twitched. Looking at the adorable girl before her, she finally sighed and quietly took out her treasured spirit herbs.
"Thank you, Sister Xia!" Lin Xue'er said excitedly upon seeing the spirit herbs.
Then, she cradled the spirit herbs and happily ran towards the inner hall of the Moxuan Hall.
"Divine Maiden, Xue'er has caused you trouble!" Not long after, a peerlessly beautiful woman with exquisite features, dressed in a white long dress, walked slowly from outside the hall.
"Qingyu, it's nothing. It's just some spirit herbs. I don't need them now. When your Holy Son returns, have him repay you double!"
Xia Qingying smiled slightly at the woman who had suddenly appeared, revealing a somewhat playful expression.
The person who arrived was Mu Qingyu.
"By the way, Divine Maiden, those elders from the Zhou family have come to our Shimo Sect again!" Mu Qingyu continued to say slowly.
"Still coming? These old pests are like sticky candy, impossible to shake off!" Xia Qingying said softly, feeling slightly annoyed.
Mu Qingyu said nothing, merely waiting quietly by the side.
After Jiang Li killed their demonic body, Zhou Tong, people from the Primal Demonic Body lineage had been frequently coming to cause trouble for the Shimo Sect.
As it was a special period, they couldn't take any drastic actions against them.
Furthermore, with the backing of the Chaos Holy Land, they were now quite audacious.
"Since they've come, let's go see what other tricks these old folks have up their sleeves!" Xia Qingying said softly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
Mu Qingyu nodded, and the two then slowly walked outside.
...
In the Eastern Wasteland, high in the sky.
An exquisite and luxurious flying boat was traveling at high speed through the sky.
Inside the flying boat, a young man wearing a silver mask was meditating in a room. The room was equipped with a powerful spirit gathering formation.
Vast spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged towards the young man.
"This is too difficult. After reaching the seventh level of the Supreme realm, ordinary spiritual energy has no effect!" After a while, Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes, a look of sighing in them.
At this moment, Jiang Li's cultivation, after half a month of practice, remained at the seventh level of the Supreme realm, with no signs of breakthrough.
Even after absorbing a large amount of various spiritual energies, Jiang Li had not seen significant improvement.
There was improvement, but the speed was not acceptable to Jiang Li.
Now, the situation in the Desolate Ancient Continent was becoming increasingly chaotic. Jiang Li had a premonition that if he couldn't become stronger to the best of his ability, he might face a situation beyond his control in the future.
Perhaps, he should try the immortal spiritual energy from the Immortal Spiritual Dao Crystal. Jiang Li took a deep breath and then took out the Immortal Spiritual Dao Crystal.
As the Immortal Spiritual Dao Crystal was brought out, the spiritual energy in the entire room suddenly elevated by a notch.
Even the entire flying boat seemed to tremble. The violent spiritual energy was too much for the flying boat to bear.
Jiang Li quickly activated the Forbidden Dao Seven Seals, a terrifying and unparalleled sealing divine ability, to completely seal the aura in the room.
After activating the Forbidden Dao Seven Seals, the spiritual energy in the room was immediately contained.
The flying boat returned to normal, and the spiritual energy in the room no longer leaked out.
"This Immortal Spiritual Dao Crystal is too terrifying!" Jiang Li murmured in a low voice, looking at the Immortal Spiritual Dao Crystal in his hand, which emanated immense spiritual power.
This terrifying spiritual power was something even he, at the seventh level of the Supreme realm, could barely withstand.
Then, let's try the effect of the immortal spiritual energy! Jiang Li took a deep breath and prepared to absorb the immortal spiritual energy from the Immortal Spiritual Dao Crystal.
He was already in the Eastern Wasteland now, so Jiang Li was not worried about safety.
Immediately, Jiang Li drew out a strand of immortal spiritual energy that exuded dense immortal spiritual power.
As the immortal spiritual energy appeared, Jiang Li felt the spiritual power within his body churning, seemingly restless, and rapidly climbing.
Jiang Li quickly closed his eyes, preparing to absorb this immortal spiritual energy.
Huh? Why is there no reaction? After a while, Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes and found that although his body was absorbing the power of the immortal spiritual energy, there was no reaction within him.
Jiang Li was filled with doubt and surprise. He quickly used his soul power to examine his body.
This is... what's going on...
Jiang Li unleashed his soul power and immediately discovered that immense immortal spiritual power was surging into his body. However, it was being absorbed by a jade pendant in his dantian that emanated a profound power.
Isn't this the Primordial Dragon Jade? How did it get into my dantian? Jiang Li was stunned.
The jade pendant in his dantian was precisely the Primordial Dragon Jade that Jiang Li had obtained at Sun Moon Pool. However, for some reason, it had entered Jiang Li's dantian.
Jiang Li immediately tried to recall. Soon, he remembered that when he was collecting the Immortal Spiritual Dao Crystal, something seemed to have drilled into his body.
