The four great divine beasts, overjoyed, were sent into the Glass Palace by Jiang Chen.
As they passed through the courtyard of the Glass Palace, they laid eyes upon the Daluo Cloud Essence Tree and felt its magnificent aura. Every single one of them was utterly stunned.
From that moment on, they were even more thoroughly convinced of Jiang Chen's greatness.
Of course, they had each consumed one of these Heavenly treasures, which meant they had already formed a bond with the Daluo Cloud Essence Tree. With such Heavenly treasures, a bond could only be formed once — consuming more would do nothing. So, having already secured one Daluo Cloud Essence Fruit each, they felt no envy toward the rest of the fruit hanging from the tree.
Jiang Chen settled them into the cultivation sanctuary within the Glass Palace, which left all four divine beasts thoroughly delighted.
Jiang Chen naturally couldn't hole up in the Glass Palace and enjoy a quiet life. The situation in the outside world no longer allowed him to remain hidden away.
Before leaving, Jiang Chen picked three more Daluo Cloud Essence Fruits. He had specific purposes in mind for these three.
Everywhere needed him to take charge.
When he carefully went through everything, the tasks on his plate piled up one after another — truly an enormous number.
Reactivating the Grand Spirit-Locking Formation of the Myriad Heavens — that was the top priority.
Wiping out those destructive forces — that was another.
Then there was finding the compatible materials for the Daluo Cloud Essence Tree to refine the Divine Communication Pill. That was yet another matter that demanded consideration.
In addition, the entire vein of Five-Colored Crystal Stones obtained from Cloud Camel Mountain in the Eternal Divine Kingdom — those were capital for the fight against the Demon Race.
Weapons forged from these crystals held an inherent advantage against the Demon Race, making them the perfect tool for combating them.
Furthermore, refining the Grand Glass Radiance Lamp was something he absolutely could not slack off on.
On the personal front, his younger brother had been completely missing. Although various parties were working on it, Jiang Chen couldn't simply leave the matter entirely to others.
The Demon Calamity was approaching. If he couldn't find his brother before the world descended into chaos, once the calamity erupted in full force, the difficulty of finding him would only grow exponentially.
However, searching for a person was like finding a needle in the ocean — it wasn't something he could accomplish simply by wanting to.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen now had no shortage of manpower. In various fields, his people could help him solve problems. At the very least, when it came to suppressing disturbances across the land, the subordinates he had subdued from the Myriad Abyss Island proved remarkably effective, uncovering quite a few forces with sinister designs.
Of course, these forces had little to do with the Demon Race.
Of the three Daluo Cloud Essence Fruits he had picked from the Glass Palace, one was set aside for Huang'er, and another went to his sister Xu Qingxuan.
The last one, Jiang Chen gave to the Gold-Munching Mouse King.
Over the years, the Gold-Munching Mouse King had been unwaveringly loyal to him and had made enormous contributions. Now, with the situation in the human domain, the Gold-Munching Mouse clan's contributions had become even more prominent.
Therefore, Jiang Chen was more than generous with the Gold-Munching Mouse King when it came to sharing his resources. The Gold-Munching Mouse clan was different from other races.
They were timid by nature, but once they attached themselves to a powerful master, they followed with absolute devotion, never harboring any thoughts of betrayal.
For instance, the Gold-Munching Mouse clan had followed Jiang Chen for a long time, constantly benefiting from him, and their loyalty to him had only grown over the years.
Every member of the Gold-Munching Mouse clan, from the Gold-Munching Mouse King on down, had benefited immensely. Though with every mission, quite a few of them perished.
But the law of nature was survival of the fittest. Even before following Jiang Chen, the Gold-Munching Mouse clan had suffered its share of casualties.
