"You’re back? Did you get the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass?"

Zhang Heng, who was stationed there, walked over and looked at Shu Feng’s group, asking anxiously.

Among everyone who entered the Void Demon Hunting Ground, only the two teams led by Shui Lingyan and Wu Yuexia had the best chance of obtaining the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass.

Those Spirit Sect Realm experts from other Noble Families, Clans, and various places in the Qianyuan Republic entered the Void Demon Hunting Ground just to gain benefits and collect precious resources. They would never risk their lives to fight for the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass.

Shui Lingyan said, "We have the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass."

Only then did Zhang Heng let out a long sigh of relief, a hint of a smile appearing on his face. "That’s good! That’s good!"

The entire Qianyuan Republic has a total of Five Great Spirit Saints. It is precisely the existence of these Five Great Spirit Saints that allows the Qianyuan Republic to rank among the Three Great Empires of Blue Star.

The Qianyuan Republic has countless internal problems. Many of its departments are extremely corrupt, and the nation’s power is already on the decline. But as long as those Five Great Spirit Saints are still alive, the Qianyuan Republic will remain firmly among the Three Great Empires.

CRACK!!

A crisp sound rang out, and immediately after, the black gate leading to the Void Demon Hunting Ground cracked apart, shattering into countless pieces that flew in all directions.

Zhang Heng stared at the collapsing gate of the Void Demon Hunting Ground, dumbfounded. He cried out in shock, "The gate to the Void Demon Hunting Ground actually shattered! How could this happen? There were clearly still more than seven months left, how did it break?"

"It shattered? Thank goodness, thank goodness we escaped in time!!"

Wu Yuexia looked at the crumbling, shattered black gate, a lingering fear in her heart. If they had been any later, they might have all been trapped inside the Void Demon Hunting Ground.

Tang Ming, Shui Lingyan, and Zhang Ying looked at the collapsing black gate, also feeling a lingering fear.

Wu Yuexia glanced at Shu Feng and noticed he showed no signs of alarm. Her evaluation of him couldn’t help but rise. ’This kid Shu Feng is really calm in a crisis! He’s so composed! He truly has the bearing of a great general!’

Shu Feng felt nothing as he watched the gate to the Void Demon Hunting Ground collapse. Inside his Base Space, he had a Shuttle Gate. If the Void Demon Hunting Ground were sealed, he could simply escape through the Shuttle Gate into the Badge World. This was another one of his incredibly powerful trump cards.

Shui Lingyan said, "Zhang Heng, besides us, who else came back?"

Zhang Heng said, "This time, you are the only ones who have returned alive from the Void Demon Hunting Ground!"

Tang Ming couldn’t help but glance at Shu Feng. "The death rate was so high this time!"

Zhang Heng couldn’t help but ask, "Yes, the death rate for the Void Demon Hunting Ground is usually between 80% and 90%. This time, it’s as high as 98%! What on earth happened inside the Void Demon Hunting Ground?"

Shui Lingyan said, "Let’s return to Blue Star first. We will provide a detailed report on the specific situation."

The Erosion Realm is extremely dangerous. Here, if a Divine Spirit Level expert from the Void Demon Realm were to descend, they could kill everyone present with a single slap.

Only by entering Blue Star, which is protected by the Heart of the World, could one be considered relatively safe. Even those Divine Spirit Level masters from the Void Demon Realm wouldn’t dare to act wantonly within Blue Star.

The journey was uneventful, and Shu Feng’s group soon returned to Blue Star.

Inside the All Saints Palace in Azure Dragon Spirit City.

"I am Zhao Ying, a follower of Lord Wu Zhongchao. May I ask who has obtained the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass?"

The speaker was a stunningly beautiful woman who had approached Shu Feng’s group. She was tall and sexy, with snow-white skin, light makeup, gorgeous features, and an extraordinary aura, dressed in a white shirt, a black miniskirt, and black stockings.

Shu Feng said, "I did!"

Zhao Ying smiled slightly. "Please come with me!"

Shu Feng followed Zhao Ying through numerous corridors and arrived at a pavilion.

In the pavilion sat a middle-aged man of average height and ordinary looks, but he carried an air of soaring confidence and unparalleled dominance. That middle-aged man was none other than Spirit Saint Wu Zhongchao.

"Greetings, Saint! This is the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass!"

After stepping into the pavilion, Shu Feng bowed to Wu Zhongchao and handed him the box containing the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass.

"Good, it is indeed the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass!"

Wu Zhongchao opened the box and glanced inside, then put the Jade Box away. He studied Shu Feng carefully and said with a light chuckle, "Whatever you want, as long as it’s not too excessive, just ask! There are few things in the Qianyuan Republic that I cannot do."

Wu Zhongchao said, "You have territory in the Erosion Realm. Do you want to be promoted to a Noble Family? To become one of the aristocrats who rule the Qianyuan Republic? If you use that request, I can let you ascend to the heavens in a single step and become the Patriarch of a Fifth-Grade Noble Family!"

The Noble Families and Clans are the aristocrats who rule the Qianyuan Republic, possessing many privileges. Besides having a seat in the Congress, they also have the privilege of atoning for crimes.

If a commoner kills someone, they must pay with their life. But if a Noble Family’s Son kills someone, they can go to the Void Demon Battlefield to hunt Void Demons and redeem their life with merit.

Commoners must be geniuses among geniuses to enter the Qianyuan Republic’s Three Great Extraordinary High Schools and be cultivated. But a Noble Family only needs to spend a huge sum of money and contribute a certain amount of merit to get their children into the Three Great Extraordinary High Schools for cultivation.

If a commoner is not a Spiritualist and learns of the Spiritual Ability World’s existence, they will either have their memories erased or have to pay a huge daily fee to be allowed to retain that knowledge. But a Noble Family’s Son, even if they are not a Spiritualist, can keep their knowledge of the Spiritual Ability World without needing to pay a huge extra sum each year.

In addition, a Noble Family’s Son can enter any of the Qianyuan Republic’s top universities to study just by paying a large sum of money. Commoners, on the other hand, have to go through the college entrance exams, and only the elite of the elite can get into those top universities.

In the Qianyuan Republic, many high-end circles only welcome the scions of Noble Families. From the Lower Class, only the elite of the elite and geniuses among geniuses are qualified to join them.

Shu Feng was once the top freshman of Shuijing High School’s Spiritual Ability Element. Even so, the doors to the upper-class circles of the Qianyuan Republic remained tightly closed to him. It wasn’t until his Spiritual Ability was rated as a Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability and he got on the Void Demon Hunting Ground’s ranking list that Ning Bufan, the president of the Celestial Mirror Society, personally invited him to join the Celestial Mirror Society.

The lifelong goal for countless elites from the Lower Class is to establish a new Noble Family.

Even if the Spirit Saints and Half-Saints of the Qianyuan Republic came from the Lower Class, once they advanced to Half-Saint, they almost all became masters of their own Clans. One can only imagine how terrifying the power of the Noble Families and Clans is.

Once Shu Feng became the Patriarch of a Fifth-Grade Noble Family, he would be able to ascend to the heavens in a single step and enter the circle of the Qianyuan Republic’s aristocracy.

A fervent light flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. "Saint, in the future, I can become a Patriarch of a Noble Family through my own efforts. I wish to obtain the Cultivation Method for the Sun and Moon Scripture beyond the Spirit Saint realm!"
