——

Less than half a day.

The Imperial Heaven Vessel had returned to the Myriad State Domain.

The long vessel paused briefly.

Those who were not disciples of the Candle Sect all bid farewell and left.

Afterward.

The long vessel continued to sail towards the Candle Sect Mountain Range.

The Imperial Heaven Vessel blocked out the sky and the sun.

Even the vast Candle Sect Mountain Range was not as grand as the Imperial Heaven Vessel. When it lingered in the sky, its shadow already covered the earth below, startling the disciples of the Candle Sect who were guarding.

"What is that thing?"

"Quickly report to the Elder, a strong enemy is attacking!"

Some disciples were panicked.

But before he finished speaking, someone smacked him on the forehead, and a reprimand followed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That’s the sect’s Eighth Rank Dao Arms, Imperial Heaven Vessel, which only a Divine King can deploy."

"E-eighth Rank Dao Arms!"

The disciple, upon hearing these words, disregarded the pain on his forehead, his face full of shock.

Not to mention the Eighth Rank Dao Arms.

Even the Sixth Rank Dao Arms were considered supreme treasures in rumor to him.

The Eighth Rank.

He had never heard anyone mention it.

Looking at the Imperial Heaven Vessel like a small continent, the disciple could only imagine the shock in his heart.

"White Jade Sect has been exterminated, our sect has returned triumphantly; all disciples need not panic!"

A calm and majestic voice reached the ears of all Candle Sect disciples.

Instantly.

Those disciples whose hearts were unsettled due to the appearance of the Imperial Heaven Vessel naturally calmed themselves.

At this moment.

The Imperial Heaven Vessel suddenly vanished.

All the disciples on board descended towards the mountain range.

Mi Shui Divine King, without visible action, directly disappeared into the void.

Just as Shen Changqing was about to head towards Qiu Peak, a gentle voice emerged by his ear.

"All your battle merits are with me; whenever you want them, just send me a Messaging Jade Token!"

When the voice fell, there was a burst of spiritual light.

He reached out and caught it.

In his hands was a warm feeling.

He fixed his gaze on it; it was a unique Messaging Jade Token.

He stored the Jade Token securely.

Shen Changqing walked away into the air.

Above Qiu Peak.

When the Imperial Heaven Vessel appeared, all disciples and menial attendants were already alerted.

So upon his return, what he saw were the waiting disciples there.

"Welcome back, Peak Master."

"Let’s dispense with formalities."

Shen Changqing simply waved his hand, then looked towards the talents of the Qingfeng Clan in front of him.

The ten people hadn’t entered the Saint Entry stage, and their forms were transformed by strength, not considered true Heaven and Earth Dao Bodies.

However.

Among the ten, two were already on the verge of a breakthrough.

Probably within three to five months, they should be able to break through successfully.

With a quick glance.

Shen Changqing withdrew his gaze.

Whether they broke through or not, it didn’t make much difference to him now.

Saint Entry.

Mere ants.

If Qiu Peak could produce a few God Realm individuals, perhaps it could have some impact on him.

But across all of Qiu Peak, currently, the one most likely to advance to the God Realm is none other than Cui Fu.

"Has anything happened recently?"

"Everything is as usual."

Cui Fu respectfully replied.

Shen Changqing nodded and ceased further inquiries, directly returning to the main hall.

The battle with White Jade Sect, it was time for him to tally the rewards.

The formation activated.

All collected storage rings were taken out.

Sixteen storage rings.

Together with the previously owned storage rings, the total number directly reached as many as twenty-nine.

Like the previous thirteen storage rings, these sixteen storage rings had all materials untouched inside, but the Divine Crystals had already been completely consumed by him.

Besides that.

Two One Origin Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom fragments.

"I initially had three One Origin Divine Kingdom fragments, plus a Two Origin Divine Kingdom fragment, adding these two, and now I have five One Origin Divine Kingdom fragments."

Shen Changqing had a smile on his face.

Five One Origin Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom fragments.

One Two Origin Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom fragment.

These six Divine Kingdom fragments alone could be exchanged for vast amounts of resources.

Not to mention.

The items in twenty-nine storage rings, if all sold off, are bound to fetch quite a lot of Divine Crystals.

The only pity was.

The Pursuit Shuttle was damaged in the battle with White Jade Sect.

Otherwise, if that Fifth Rank Dao Arms were still around, it would truly be a huge profit.

Nonetheless.

Even without the Fifth Rank Dao Arms, gaining such rewards was already substantial.

Afterward.

Shen Changqing took out the Battle Merit Token.

The battle merits on it exceeded sixty thousand.

"More than sixty thousand battle merits, equivalent to over sixty thousand Divine Crystals, plus I have several thousand battle merits with Zhongshan Ling, combined, the battle merits can directly break through the hundred thousand mark."

Hundred thousand battle merits!

For anyone, this was extremely abundant.

If he can convert all these items into resources, he has the confidence for another breakthrough.

All piled into the Divine Path, aiming to reach the Sixth Level of God Realm, or even the Seventh Level of God Realm.

If all piled into Martial Dao, greatly possible to enter the Sixth Level of Cave Heaven.

"The Divine Path is only temporary; once I abandon Zhongshan Chou’s identity, all the investments will be worthless. Comparatively, only enhancing Martial Dao is the fundamental course."

Shen Changqing shook his head inwardly.

Then.

He looked at his own panel.
