As time flows, several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Leaving the Demon Soul Avatar outside with Wang Yu and others on their journey, Su Yuan returned to the Qingming Realm.
In the Qingming Realm, before a long table, Su Yuan checked the harvest of this journey.
Countless Spirit Stones and over a dozen Epic Star Artifacts.
Luo Wen Zhen alone left three Epic Longswords.
The greatest gains were Zuo Quanqing’s Hundred Beasts Tripod and a Legendary Star Core unexpectedly acquired from the Lava Ring — the Sea Covering Spirit Kun.
"Ruan Ruan," Su Yuan took out two Star Cores and handed them to her, "Here are two Legendary Star Cores, one from the Great Sage Equalling Heaven and the Sea Covering Spirit Kun, to be used for your promotion to Legendary status."
Ruan Ruan needs three types of Legendary Star Cores to advance, and this immediately gathered two types.
The Great Sage Equalling Heaven aside, the Sea Covering Spirit Kun serves as a mimicry for ocean combat, making it more comprehensive.
"Boogie boogie!" Ruan Ruan’s eyes sparkled as she excitedly accepted the two Star Cores, swallowing them whole, "Thank you, master!"
Su Yuan smiled and rubbed her head.
Only then did he notice, Ruan Ruan’s cultivation had improved quite a bit, just a touch away from Full Moon Level.
It seems that during these days, Antonios led her to hunt and devour quite a number of Star Cores in the Ancient Fragments.
"Boss, I have another item here." Ashley turned over a magic cube, "This item is called All Things Magic Cube, inside there’s a Holy Ancient Tree."
"A Fifth Level Holy Ancient Tree!"
Su Yuan’s eyes slightly tightened; this was a genuine Fifth Level Spiritual Plant.
It carries effects such as healing recovery, mind clearing, evil exorcism, and more!
Now that the Qingming Realm has greatly expanded, the Phoenix Vein has advanced to Tiger Level, and he needs to use Nirvana Power to establish a sacred healing ground; the addition of the Holy Ancient Tree would make the task way more effective!
Ashley asked, "Boss, where should we place this Holy Ancient Tree?"
Su Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Let’s place it under Qingming Peak over there."
Ashley nodded, immediately flew forward to Qingming Peak to activate the All Things Magic Cube.
Amidst the flashing radiance, a mass of golden light twisted upward from the magic cube like an illusion, its branches growing wildly, roots intertwining, and in moments, an enormous, lush ancient tree laden with golden leaves stood aside.
Its branches and leaves swayed in the wind, overflowing with rich holy radiance, illuminating this entire space, quite breathtaking!
Bathed in the golden light, Su Yuan and others immediately felt their thoughts smooth, minds clear.
"So comfortable!" Ruan Ruan couldn’t help but narrow her eyes in enjoyment.
Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Watching Ashley return, Su Yuan realized something and asked puzzledly, "Ashley, your eyes seem a bit different?"
Ashley said emotionlessly, "Minor issue with cultivation."
"Is that so..." Su Yuan was about to ask more but suddenly sensed something, his figure wavered and he vanished from the Qingming Realm.
After Mo Fei and Ruan Ruan walked away, Antonios looked at Ashley and suddenly spoke, "Your eyes have a problem."
Ashley turned her head to look at him, slightly raised her eyebrow, "How do you know?"
"I’m a doctor, your gaze focus has slightly changed, naturally deducing a difference in your vision range."
Ashley heard, her eyes slightly gleamed.
Antonios asked, "How about I take a look, give some treatment?"
Ashley calmly said, "The fundamental backlash from the Power of Destiny, can’t be treated."
"Is that so..." Antonios’s heart slightly tightened, after a brief silence, he asked, "Are you not telling him?"
"No need." Ashley looked up at the distant Holy Ancient Tree rooted under Qingming Peak, quietly radiating golden light, "Now, it’s just fine."
Then, Ashley suddenly looked at Antonios, her eyes flashed with cold light.
"Antonios, you seem to know too much."
"Hahaha, don’t worry, I know nothing." Antonios shook his head with a smile, moved to the bar counter on the side, "Want some coffee? I recently crafted a new flavor of latte."
Ashley asked, "Milk tea, can you make it?"
Antonios exclaimed, "Milk tea? Why milk tea, you’re drinking that stuff?"
"Coffee’s bitter." Ashley murmured, "Milk tea, should be a bit sweeter."
Outside, Su Yuan emerged from the Qingming Imprint on the shoulder of the Demon Soul Avatar.
Putting the avatar away, Su Yuan looked at Wang Yu, "Wang Yue Monarch."
Wang Yu smiled, "The teleportation portal has arrived."
Su Yuan looked ahead, Zhuang Yuehua was examining a violet teleportation portal.
Additionally, the scattered Radiant Moons and numerous Bright Star Special Envoys in the Ancient Fragments had already gathered here.
"Indeed, it’s the teleportation portal back to the East Continent, and the energy outside is quite stable." Zhuang Yuehua approached and told the two.
"Alright, then let’s return!"
The group entered the teleportation portal, returning to the western coast of the East Continent.
Several days later, they smoothly returned to Great Flame.
Zhuang Yuehua asked, "Will Envoy Su return with us to the Sky Patrol Department?"
Su Yuan said, "I have other matters to handle, please go ahead."
Wang Yu nodded, "Alright, see you next time."
Wang Yu leads the Sky Patrol Department away, while Su Yuan raises his hand to open the Space Gate, heading alone towards the Demon Capital...
City, airplanes, skyscrapers, schools...
Feeling the long-lost relaxed urban atmosphere, Su Yuan did not teleport directly but entered the South Gate and leisurely walked towards the Book Tower.
