As the Star River Battleship disappeared from sight, Li Shuya snorted coldly, "Relying on the Shang Qing Sect behind them, they act all high and mighty here."

"Ahem." Wang Zudao immediately cleared his throat and said, "Our Six Great Cultivation Forces supposedly exist under the patronage of the Shang Qing Sect. Master Wan is the Peak Master of Tian Nan Peak and has always treated us rather generously over the years."

Zhao Yunzhi nodded and said, "Exactly, that’s why I invited Master Wan to oversee the situation; otherwise, for the resources of Earth, we would definitely have internal conflicts."

When he mentioned this, Wang Zudao, Li Shuya, He Wudao, and others twitched the corners of their mouths.

Dammit, just because you invited Master Wan to oversee things, we’ve lost thirty percent of the resources.

Li Shuya was even more upset and directly said out loud, "Zhao Yunzhi, are you out of your mind? If you hadn’t invited Master Wan, all the resources of Earth would have belonged solely to our six families. Now that the Shang Qing Sect has intervened, they’ve taken away thirty percent for nothing. With those thirty percent of the resources, our Six Great Forces in the Southern Domain could have lived much more comfortably, right?"

The rest turned to Zhao Yunzhi with unfriendly eyes.

Zhao Yunzhi felt like the target of everyone’s wrath, but on the surface, he remained calm and snorted coldly, saying, "If I hadn’t invited Master Wan to oversee the situation, our six families would have fought over these resources on Earth by now."

"That’s your Lingxiao Sect wanting to keep everything for themselves. If you had shared the secret of the Genetic Liquid Medicine with our five families from the beginning, none of this would have happened," Wang Zudao retorted.

Li Shuya nodded, "Exactly. If you hadn’t kept it from us from the start, we would have handled the situation on Earth ourselves. Why would there be a need to invite people from the Shang Qing Sect to intervene?"

He Wudao also said regretfully, "It’s a pity about that thirty percent resource share; even if our six families were to divide it, each of us could have had half again."

Zhao Yunzhi snorted coldly, "Such a big piece of meat, I’m just afraid that if you devour it, you won’t be able to digest it."

At his words, the others felt a chill in their hearts.

Yes, wasn’t Earth just drawing trouble upon itself by harboring such treasures, leading to the siege by their Six Great Cultivation Forces?

If the effect of the Genetic Liquid Medicine was really that incredible, and the Six Great Cultivation Forces in the Southern Domain secretly enjoyed this Divine Medicine, if news leaked and reached the ears of the Shang Qing Sect bigwigs, the consequences would be even worse.

Not to mention such an amazing Divine Medicine, just the gigantic top-grade Spirit Ore Mountain Range on Earth would make a One-star Sect do whatever it takes to claim it.

"Ahem, what Taoist Zhao said is not without reason. At least we have obtained these resources securely now, without any further troubles," He Wudao said.

Zhao Yunzhi said, "Let’s drop this subject. From now on, let’s work together, united as one, relying on the Genetic Liquid Medicine and the vast Spirit Stone resources we can acquire from Earth to strive for long-term development—this is the only way forward."

Although Li Shuya and Wang Zudao felt a bit displeased, they understood that the situation was already settled, and they could only go along with Zhao Yunzhi’s words.

Three years ago, after obtaining that small bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine, the four of them took it directly.

The effect of that Genetic Liquid Medicine was indeed potent. Even though they were Divinity Transformation Realm Masters and their Spirit Roots had long been solidified, after consuming that small bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine, they faintly felt that their solidified Spirit Root seemed to loosen a bit.

Although the change wasn’t particularly significant, as Divinity Transformation Realm Masters, they could truly feel it.

Now that they had obtained a large bottle of Genetic Liquid Medicine, they would certainly allocate some to their elite disciples. But as the powerful ancestors of their respective sects, they naturally could enjoy the largest share themselves.

Given their innate talents, it was a foregone conclusion that they would halt at the Divinity Transformation Realm in this lifetime. But now, with the miraculous potion of the Genetic Liquid Medicine, they might be able to defy fate and take another step upward.

"Father, on our way back, at the other end of the Transmission Channel, we encountered Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang,"

On their way back to the Lingxiao Sect, Hai Mo walked beside his father Hai Lingfeng and recounted the incident where Yang Fei instructed him and Yan Wei to observe the Transmission Channel.

Hai Lingfeng frowned, "So you’re saying that after you left White Jade City, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang reached the other end of the Transmission Channel ahead of you through the Transmission Array, and when you arrived, he had you and Yan Wei leave the spaceship to observe the Transmission Channel?"

Hai Mo nodded, "Yes."

Hai Lingfeng was puzzled, "What were they observing the Transmission Channel for?"

Hai Mo shook his head, "I don’t know. I just found it strange that they would ask us to do that, so I’m telling you."

Hai Lingfeng said, "Tell me in detail about the situation at the time."

The incident had occurred not long ago, and as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Hai Mo had an exceptional memory. He immediately recounted the scene in detail, even describing the expressions and reactions of Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang at the time.

Hai Lingfeng pondered for a while, then chuckled, shaking his head, "It seems that the couple were intimidated by the power of the Realm Barrier within that Transmission Channel and dared not approach easily. When you happened to arrive, they wanted you and Yan Wei to give it a try."

Hai Mo suddenly understood, "Indeed, now that they are both at the Core Formation Realm, they’ve heard about the Realm Barrier within this Transmission Channel before but had never seen it, so they didn’t believe it and wanted to verify it themselves."

Hai Lingfeng said, "That’s probably it. No need to dwell on this matter."

He didn’t connect this incident with the previous sensation of the fluctuations in the Realm Barrier Law within the Transmission Channel.

After all, such things were too bizarre.

...

Earth, White Jade City.

After returning, Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang headed straight to the Bluestone Gate atop White Jade City.

"Why not wait outside?" Yang Fei suggested to Qin Yanyang.

Qin Yanyang replied, "Back then, when our strengths were much weaker, we still managed to come out safely. Now both of us are at the Core Formation Realm, our strength has grown far beyond that time, there should be no more danger."

Yang Fei nodded at her words and smiled, "Alright, let’s go together then."

Though the cave was extremely dark, it wasn’t damp, and the spiritual energy was abundant. They hadn’t been inside for long when they suddenly heard a roar.

"Roar!"

Yang Fei called out, "Little Grey, don’t be nervous, it’s me."

"Roar."

The Heaven-devouring Beast let out a roar again, but it sounded more affectionate.

Ever since it had finished serving as the Array Base Demon Beast for the Four Spirits Blood Array, the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast had been resting here. Not long ago, it had made a significant breakthrough, shedding its infancy state and tremendously increasing in strength. After Yang Fei fed it five storage bags of Spirit Stones, it contentedly returned here to continue its slumber.

Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang quickly reached the spacious area where the Heaven-devouring Divine Beast was sleeping. The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast affectionately moved closer and nuzzled against them.

Qin Yanyang couldn’t help but laugh, "Yang Fei, it seems after feeding it five bags of spirit stones last time, it has become much more affectionate towards us."

Yang Fei laughed heartily, "Don’t underestimate it as a mere demon beast; it’s quite practical."

Qin Yanyang chuckled.

The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast seemed to understand their words and made an aggrieved expression at Yang Fei.

Yang Fei patted its soft fur and said, "Alright Little Grey, you continue guarding here while we go further inside to explore."

The Heaven-devouring Divine Beast obediently walked to the side, lay on the ground, and closed its eyes.

Yang Fei held Qin Yanyang’s hand, and together they dashed further into the cave.

They both were eager to find out if there were more secrets hidden within the Nine-Nine Returning to One Array inside this cave.
