Qingyang Sect.
In the ancient room.
Li Xuan stood by the window of the room, gazing in the direction of Baihua Valley.
The Ancient Desolate Sacred Body... still a perfect Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, Li Xuan thought of Jiang Li, who was peerless in combat in the illusion, and was lost in thought.
If Jiang Li continues to grow, with his strange fire, sword pellet, and numerous other methods, he should be able to contend with the hegemonic body of this generation, Li Xuan mused.
At this moment, Li Xuan had already regarded Jiang Li as one of his own, and began to think from Jiang Li's perspective.
However, given Jiang Li's current growth rate, he shouldn't reach the final battle so quickly. It all depends on Jiang Li's fortune.
In fact, Li Xuan had more to say to Jiang Li.
In the struggle between the Sacred Body and the Hegemonic Body, overall, the Hegemonic Body has won more often.
The Hegemonic Body seems to have been born to restrain the Sacred Body.
Only after the Sacred Body has completely matured can it crush the Hegemonic Body in all aspects.
Before reaching maturity, there is a significant gap with the Hegemonic Body.
This is the rule of heaven's will, which almost no one can break.
The reason why the Sacred Body became an extremely powerful physique on the Ancient Desolate Continent is because after its maturity, it can be comparable to a Great Emperor.
It is said that in ancient times, a fully matured Ancient Desolate Sacred Body fought an Emperor who had achieved the Dao for ten days and ten nights without defeat.
This is unparalleled by any other physique.
When the physical strength reaches its limit, it is comparable to a different kind of enlightenment, which is not just talk, but has solid combat achievements.
I hope Jiang Li can defeat the hegemonic body of this generation.
"Knock, knock, knock!!!"
A knock sounded at the door.
Li Xuan withdrew his thoughts and let the disciple who knocked enter.
A disciple wearing the Taoist robe of Qingyang Sect slowly walked in.
"Grand Elder, I have information about the Taixuan Holy Land!" the disciple in the Taoist robe said respectfully.
"Speak, what is the information!" Li Xuan said indifferently.
Immediately, the disciple in the Taoist robe recounted the information in its entirety.
It turned out to be about a disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land.
Word came from somewhere that a disciple named Ye Tian was the reincarnation of the Demon Cloud Quasi-Emperor from 100 years ago, and the rumors were very convincing.
It was originally just unfounded speculation.
But unexpectedly, when the disciple was about to be summoned by the Holy Land's Sect Master, he directly ran away.
Moreover, he evaded heavy pursuit, eventually entering the Valley of Death, and is still being hunted. The credibility of the news suddenly soared to its peak.
"Demon Emperor reborn? I remember he should have been annihilated back then, how could he be reborn!" Li Xuan frowned.
Although he did not participate in the encirclement and suppression back then, 100 years ago, Li Xuan was also a high-level figure in the Taiqing Holy Land and had a more thorough understanding of some inside stories than ordinary people.
Moreover, those two Supremes would not make such a low-level mistake, giving the Demon Cloud Quasi-Emperor a chance to escape.
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, when they were pursuing, they discovered that the pursued disciple used many of the Demon Cloud Quasi-Emperor's techniques, and many of the Demon Emperor's former subordinates appeared to help that disciple!" the disciple in the Taoist robe continued respectfully.
Li Xuan frowned, could it be that the Demon Emperor was really reborn?
If so, it seems that the Eastern Wasteland will stir up a storm again.
He knew what had happened 100 years ago. If the Demon Emperor were to settle accounts, many forces would be directly annihilated, and even those few holy lands would have a headache.
The entire pattern of the Eastern Wasteland would be reshuffled.
However, if the Demon Emperor's actions were discovered, it is afraid it would not be so easy to complete.
Back then, even Quasi-Emperors were completely controlled, and now reborn, without the cultivation of his previous life, he probably can't make any big waves.
Even if he fled into the Valley of Death, it would only be prolonging his life for a few more days.
Many thoughts flashed through Li Xuan's mind.
"Is there anything else?" Li Xuan asked, seeing that the disciple was still standing there after reporting the intelligence.
"Grand Elder, the elders of the Taixuan Holy Land want to purchase a Sky-Patrolling Formation to track the location of that disciple!" the disciple in the Taoist robe slowly said.
Li Xuan's brows furrowed, to the point of using the Sky-Patrolling Formation?
Is this Demon Emperor reincarnation really that powerful?
"Go and discuss it with the Sect Master!" Li Xuan waved his hand.
After Li Xuan finished speaking, the disciple remained standing there, his expression somewhat hesitant.
"Is there anything else?" Li Xuan continued to ask.
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, regarding the spiritual fruit of ten thousand years of age that you mentioned last time as a preparation for the birthday of Elder Lin of the Bingyun Immortal Palace, it's gone!" the disciple said with a faltering expression.
Li Xuan's face darkened upon hearing this. Who dared to touch my things?
Li Xuan took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and then said in a deep voice, "What are the people guarding the spiritual fruit garden doing, how could it be gone!"
The disciple wearing the green Taoist robe slowly said, "It was... it was Junior Sister Li Qin..."
Li Xuan's expression immediately relaxed. It's this little ancestor again... alas...
"Alright, alright, you may leave..." Li Xuan sighed slightly and then said.
Immediately, after the disciple bowed respectfully, he left the room.
After the disciple left, Li Xuan walked to the window and looked in the direction of Baihua Valley.
There seemed to be a terrifying spiritual energy vortex churning.
Li Xuan knew without looking that it was that little fellow, the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, absorbing his spiritual fruit.
This little girl... I don't know what kind of bewitchment Jiang Li has used on her...
She hasn't even gotten married yet and is already draining my fortune...
However, a spiritual fruit of ten thousand years... Jiang Li should be able to handle it, Li Xuan thought.
...
In Baihua Valley.
At this moment, Baihua Valley was no longer filled with the scent of birds and flowers.
The spiritual birds in the surroundings had all gone silent.
The surrounding sea of flowers and spiritual medicines struggled to resist the spiritual energy vortex in the center of Baihua Valley.
In the center of Baihua Valley, Jiang Li's body exuded a powerful and majestic aura.
The spiritual energy of the spiritual fruit was being rapidly absorbed by Jiang Li within his body.
Golden spiritual energy circulated within Jiang Li's body.
Some distance away from Jiang Li, a delicate girl was watching Jiang Li cultivating in the distance.
The girl's eyes seemed to be only on Jiang Li, and everything around her was not in her sight.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!"
After a while, a powerful aura erupted from Jiang Li's body.
A surge of surging air current rushed outwards, emitting a faint roar.
Spiritual River fifth level!!!
Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes, and it seemed as if golden mysterious particles were flowing within his pupils.
The medicinal power of this ten-thousand-year-old spiritual fruit is truly too potent.
If it were an ordinary Spiritual River realm cultivator, they would probably have been blown up by this spiritual energy.
Jiang Li was filled with a sense of lingering fear. Fortunately, he possessed the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body and mastered a Saint-tier technique, allowing him to barely absorb the spiritual energy of this ten-thousand-year-old spiritual fruit.
