Six months had passed.
The Yu God Sect remained as peaceful as ever. Nearly all the Divine Roots from every Divine Pool surrounding the sect had been collected by
Inside the scroll, the scenery was now breathtakingly magnificent. Spirit stones were being born each day in such staggering quantities that it was almost absurd.
Under Nie Li's direct orchestration, the Yu God Sect had begun procuring all manner of precious artifacts, Demon Spirit from Dragon Blood Demon Beasts, and various other cultivation-related resources from every corner of the Dragon Ruins Domain.
Practically every trading guild in the Dragon Ruins Domain was scrambling to scour rare treasures and exotic wonders throughout the region on behalf of the Yu God Sect.
The Yu God Sect had become an utterly enigmatic existence. Its gates remained shut, with virtually no disciples showing their faces. Not a single sect managed to obtain any intelligence about the Yu God Sect. Batch after batch of rare treasures and exotic treasures were purchased by the Yu God Sect and hauled inside. No one knew what the Yu God Sect intended to do with all these acquisitions, nor could anyone fathom how the sect possessed such astonishing financial power.
Within the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Scroll, Nie Li was in closed-door cultivation alongside his most trusted disciples.
Nie Li's cultivation had already broken through to the third level of the Dragon Dao Realm. Among his disciples, those who had reached the Dragon Dao Realm numbered a staggering ten thousand, and many were frantically pushing toward the Martial Sect Realm.
The potency of the Sacred Medicine, combined with the dense spiritual energy within the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Scroll, the assistance of various rare treasures, and the enormous stockpile of spirit stones—the speed of their cultivation advancement was nothing short of astonishing.
Even more remarkable than Nie Li's own progress were the Flame Empress and the Golden Egg. Inside the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Scroll, the Flame Empress had been devouring spiritual energy at a voracious rate. After undergoing three miraculous transformations, she had already reached the astonishing third level of the Martial Sect Realm. The pure flame energy surging around her left Nie Li in awe.
What was truly terrifying, however, was that big glutton, the Golden Egg. Who knew how many spirit stone essences it had devoured inside the scroll. Its body had been expanding ceaselessly, and it now stood a full five or six meters tall, a true colossus. Even more frightening, as its body grew, so did its appetite.
The power of natural law within this creature surged like a raging ocean, fathomless and unfathomable. Even Nie Li couldn't tell exactly how powerful it had become. Its entire body was golden, covered in scales, and faintly bore the outline of a dragon.
Fortunately, the more the creature grew, the deeper its soul connection with Nie Li became. Nie Li didn't need to worry about losing control.
"The five great pillars of the Yu God Sect took the newly refined Sacred Medicine from me. I wonder how much their cultivation has improved." Nie Li mused silently. In the short term, the five pillars remained the cornerstone power of the Yu God Sect—the sect's protectors. Only when they grew strong could the Yu God Sect develop in peace.
"Nie Li, letters from
Nie Li took the letters from Lu Piao's hands and opened them to read. A warm smile of gratification appeared at the corners of his lips.
"How are they doing?" Lu Piao asked curiously.
"They're doing quite well!" Nie Li replied with a smile.
"Well, naturally! With all these amazing resources and your full backing, even I could become the sect master of one of those sects!" Lu Piao said with a dismissive curl of his lips.
Nie Li couldn't help but chuckle. Lu Piao had been growing restless lately from staying at the Yu God Sect, eager to venture out, but Nie Li had put his foot down. Lu Piao desperately wanted to go explore other sects, but Nie Li had ordered him to remain at the Yu God Sect.
From the letters, Nie Li learned the latest about Ziyun, Ning'er,
