Zhou Yu was taken aback.

"What?"

"These Dark Demon Qi originally did not exist."

"However, after the Dark Origin invaded this place, it polluted the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power here and transformed it into Dark Demon Qi."

"But this transformation is not a one-to-one conversion."

"It often requires a lot of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power to convert into a small portion of Dark Demon Qi."

"And to condense a Demon General requires an even more massive amount of Dark Demon Qi."

"The Demon General just now was slain by your Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder because it can purify the Dark Origin within the demon qi."

"Which allows the Dark Demon Qi to revert back to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power."

"However, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power that converts back from the Dark Demon Qi does so one-to-one. As a result, this portion of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power becomes extremely rich, dozens of times more intense than the previously unpolluted Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power."

Upon hearing Gu Zifeng's analysis, Zhou Yu understood as well.

His eyes lit up.

"Then if we can continuously convert Dark Demon Qi back into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power and then absorb and cultivate it, wouldn't the cultivation speed be much faster than absorbing ordinary spiritual power?"

Gu Zifeng nodded.

"Theoretically, yes. But we still need to experiment to be sure."

He glanced around and said:

"Not much Dark Demon Qi is left here now."

"Why don't we hunt another Demon General?"

Gu Zifeng looked at Zhou Yu excitedly.

However, Zhou Yu shook his head.

"Not now. I need to find my two friends. I'm worried they might be in danger."

"Brother Gu, you're familiar with this area. Do you know how to quickly find someone in the Secret Treasure?"

Gu Zifeng chuckled.

"You've asked the right person."

"Finding people is what our Taoist Sect excels at."

"Give me some personal belongings of your friends, or something imbued with their aura, and I'll immediately perform a Taoist Secret Skill."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu instantly showed a look of joy and quickly started searching through his Storage Ring.

After a moment, he looked a bit embarrassed and hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zifeng asked in confusion.

Zhou Yu shook his head, then took a deep breath and retrieved a piece of clothing from the Storage Ring.

To be precise, it was an intimate garment of Yun Feifei's.

He doesn't remember which night of passion it was from, but he had casually kept it.

It was the only item in his Storage Ring imbued with Yun Feifei's aura.

Seeing what Zhou Yu handed over, Gu Zifeng's face froze, and then immediately turned bright red.

"Ah, this poor Taoist..."

Seeing this, Zhou Yu was instantly surprised.

"Brother Gu, what's wrong?"

"At your age, you wouldn't still be...?"

Gu Zifeng glared at Zhou Yu, then snatched the clothing from his hand and said:

"I am a disciple of the Taoist Sect and must maintain the strength of the Dragon Yang, never losing it!"

"Haha..."

Zhou Yu was amused by Gu Zifeng's reaction.

"Then please, Brother Gu, quickly perform the secret technique."

Gu Zifeng forced himself to calm down and casually formed a spell.

Soon, a very faint aura drifted up from Yun Feifei's clothing and, under the spell's influence, transformed into a green light flying far away.

Gu Zifeng immediately returned the clothing to Zhou Yu.

"Go!"

"Follow it!"

The two soared into the sky, chasing after that green light!

...

Meanwhile, in another region of the secret realm.

This was a vast desert.

On the desert, the cold wind was fierce, and dark clouds hung low, creating a desolate scene.

In such a place, two groups were engaged in battle.

Among these people, the majority were Emperor Realm Martial Artists with not-insignificant cultivation.

Looking closely, one side had the upper hand.

The besieged side had two striking feminine figures.

They were like the two most beautiful ornaments on this bitterly cold desert.

Among the women, one was Yun Feifei.

In front of Yun Feifei, there was another girl about her age resisting the attacks from the other side.

But evidently, this girl was steadily being overwhelmed, struggling to hold on.

Seeing this, Yun Feifei became anxious and shouted:

"Sister Qin, stop fighting, you all go, don't worry about me."

The girl referred to as Sister Qin was actually named Zhang Qin.

Actually, Yun Feifei and Zhang Qin did not know each other.

As soon as Yun Feifei entered the Secret Treasure, she found herself separated from Zhou Yu and the others.

Yun Feifei knew that she was only at Saint Realm cultivation, the lowest level in this secret realm.

So, she hid immediately.

She believed that Zhou Yu would definitely find a way to locate her.

But things didn't go as planned.

Even though Yun Feifei hid right away, she was still discovered.

The ones who found her were Zhang Qin and her companions.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qin and her group immediately recognized Yun Feifei as soon as they saw her.

That was when Yun Feifei learned that the Heavenly King Sea had issued a kill order to eliminate her and Jiang Xiuwu once and for all.

But Zhang Qin reassured Yun Feifei, saying that the Zhang Family was different from other families and wouldn't follow the Heavenly King Sea's orders.

Furthermore, Zhang Qin advised Yun Feifei to go with them; otherwise, staying there would only lead to danger.

Though only half-convinced, Yun Feifei had no other options and temporarily moved with Zhang Qin and her group.

But soon after, they faced another group.

The Gong Family of the Northeastern Three Families.

The Gong Family already didn't get along with the Zhang Family, and when they saw Yun Feifei, they immediately surrounded Zhang Qin's group, demanding Zhang Qin hand over Yun Feifei.

Zhang Qin refused, leading to a fierce confrontation!

The leader of the Gong Family, Gong Shaojie, struck Zhang Qin with a blade, driving her back more than a dozen steps, as blood trickled from her mouth.

Gong Shaojie sneered coldly.

"Zhang Qin, if you don't surrender her, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
