Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

The purple moon faded away, and the battlefield returned to calm, leaving only a scene of devastation.

Jiang Han raised his hand and made a gesture. A small black flame slowly ignited at the spot where the ape demon had died. It then grew to the size of a fist and flew down in front of him, revealing two orbs of light inside.

One of them was a black token with a huge black ape standing with its arms hanging down on the front. Its body was surrounded by black flames, and its eyes were glowing with a bloodthirsty red light. It was the same giant ape that had just died.

As for the other ball of light, there was a black ape primordial spirit with its eyes closed and legs crossed, its breath faint. It was about two fingers tall, wearing a Taoist robe, with a calm expression, like a demonic ape Taoist, with only its eyes faintly emitting black light.

This was the incomplete primordial spirit of the ape demon. Just now, the demon was too crazy. Even if it burned its primordial spirit and physical body, it still had to launch a desperate attack, which caused most of its blood and primordial spirit to be consumed, leaving only this incomplete primordial spirit and some scattered blood and energy around it.

To be honest, that desperate attack was indeed powerful, even affecting the Daoist space and causing it to become unstable for a moment.

If that ape demon had been more decisive and had simply abandoned its will to survive, burning away all its physical body and primordial spirit, it might have been able to break through the Daoist space and escape the Daoist constraints.

Fortunately, it didn't have that kind of desperate determination.

Jiang Han flipped his hand to put away the ape demon's primordial spirit, sat cross-legged in mid-air, and began to absorb the dissipated blood and qi power around him. At the same time, his thoughts were churning as he sorted out the information he had just obtained.

Just as the ape demon died, a message suddenly appeared deep in his mind.

It turns out that this world is only the first level of the Celestial Palace. Only by defeating the gatekeepers guarding the entrance and obtaining the pass tokens they keep can the entrance be opened and the second level of the Celestial Palace be entered.

Even the gatekeepers on the first floor, who were at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, were only slightly weaker in combat power than the disciples.

How strong must the guards on the second floor be?

I'm afraid he's at least on par with Senior Brother Meng and the others, or perhaps even stronger.

Of course, the obstacles are great, but the rewards are equally great.

If the gatekeeper dies, he becomes the new gatekeeper, and he can dispose of everything within the territory belonging to this entrance at his own discretion.

This includes all the rare and precious materials in this area, as well as the late-stage Nascent Soul demons under the ape demon's command!

……

His blood and qi surged, and streaks of crimson blood slowly seeped out of the void. They were absorbed by the devouring power and transformed into purer blood and qi, strengthening Jiang Han's physical body.

This ape demon truly lives up to its reputation as a descendant of a powerful true spirit. Even with only 30-40% of its blood and qi remaining, it is still comparable to the combined strength of the previous twenty-three Nascent Soul stage demons!

With his blood and energy increasing several levels, he could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the next realm of the Demonic Infant God.

The physical strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage would be immense; even his direct disciples would likely find it difficult to pose the slightest threat to him.

After calming his thoughts, Jiang Han suddenly spoke: "Come here."

Before he finished speaking, the flying sword beside him flashed and disappeared, its blade instantly breaking through the ruins and appearing deep underground in front of a huddled figure.

Ling Yu shuddered, her eyes widened as she stared at the chilling sword tip that had suddenly appeared between her brows, and cold sweat poured down her face.

Damn it, we've been exposed! How did he find out?

As we all know, no matter how strong a person is, they can only be good at one thing. This sword cultivator is not only good at fighting, but how come his divine sense is also so strong that he can see through my innate divine power?

You should know that even the ape commander, who was at the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, couldn't see through this, yet this sword cultivator at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm discovered its hiding place at a glance.

Without hesitation, Ling Yu fiercely suppressed the urge to escape, swallowed hard, and slowly crawled out from underground.

Despite the stinging pain between its brows, it gritted its teeth and flew to Jiang Han's side, bowing deeply and saying, "Ling Yu greets... Senior."

It didn't know how to address the young sword cultivator. Calling him "commander" might offend him if it was the wrong name, and calling him "sword cultivator" would be suicidal. After thinking it over, it decided that calling him "senior" was the safest option.

Regardless of whether the other party is a demon or a human, the person sitting in front of it now is a powerful senior.

Being addressed as "senior" by a demon, especially one whose cultivation level was a level higher than his, made Jiang Han quite uncomfortable, but he didn't say much, only asking:

Where is the portal to the next level?

Ling Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Although this human was a bit ferocious, he spoke quite normally. It seemed he wasn't the kind of pervert who would kill any demon he saw.

After thinking for a moment, it said, "The gateway is in Luoxia Mountain."

It turned and pointed to the ruins, then remembered something and quickly bent down to remind it:

"Luoxia Mountain is a manifestation of the rules of this world. Senior, you only need to take out your pass token and place it beside the mountain to restore it to its original state."

"I see."

This is similar to the spirits we've encountered before.

Jiang Han stood up, moved swiftly to the vicinity of the ruins, took out the token and waved it slightly.

In an instant, the earth shook and countless fragments of stone and wood flew up and quickly converged towards the center. In the blink of an eye, the mess on the ground was transformed into a tall mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, full of spiritual energy, like a fairy mountain.

Even the land that had been ravaged for thousands of miles was restored to its original state at this moment.

“What a magical power.”

Jiang Han put away the token and stepped onto the mountaintop.

Even though he restored the mountain with the token, he didn't feel anything unusual. It was as if the mountain had always been like this, and what he had broken before was just a painting on the surface of the mountain.

Now that the tattered curtain has been torn away, revealing another complete curtain behind it.

A fleeting thought flashed through Jiang Han's mind, but it quickly vanished. He didn't dwell on that thought; instead, he let it happen naturally and stepped into the mountain cave without further contemplation.

He often has these flashes of insight. If he can't grasp the specific meaning in one go, he'll have them several times. The insights within will gradually become complete without him having to put in much effort.

If you seek it with an obsession, insisting on grasping the insight in a single flash of inspiration, you've actually fallen into a lower category.

Instead, we might as well use this time to do something else, like looting the old ape's property.

Jiang Han stopped at the edge of the spiritual spring, his divine sense sweeping through the cave inch by inch.

"No?"

He turned to look at Ling Yu: "Where is Commander Ape hiding the wealth he has accumulated over the years?"
