Although the Long River Sect was not like the Netherworld Sect,

but in their conflicts with Ji Haoyuan, the Long River Sect always ended up at a disadvantage.

However, the threat of the beast tide disaster was no trivial matter.

If during this time they disregarded the bigger picture and caused some trouble, it would indeed be a huge problem.

Therefore,

the Long River Sect had to submit unconditionally.

Also, Golden Core cultivators Chen Wen'an and Xu Changhe needed to be under their control.

Otherwise, they would rather destroy the entire Long River Sect than leave any hidden dangers in the subsequent beast tide disaster.

When Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo planted the restrictions in the Sea of Consciousness of Chen Wen'an and Xu Changhe,

they did not hesitate to have the two of them lead the way to the core treasure vault of the Long River Sect.

With the current insight of Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo, they didn't really value the so-called treasures in the core vault of the Long River Sect.

Nevertheless, what they did take, they did so without reserve.

After all, just because they themselves couldn't use it, it didn't mean those behind them couldn't.

Still, they didn't go too far, leaving the Long River Sect with a portion.

Afterward, Ji Haoyuan went to the Scripture Pavilion of the Long River Sect and copied what he considered to be valuable cultivation techniques and the Hundred Skills of Cultivation.

Once all this was done, Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo didn't linger in the Long River Sect any longer.

Admonishing them to keep an eye on the demon beasts' movements and report any anomalies immediately, they left the Long River Sect.

"Senior Sister, about the Shadow Soul Sect..."

On their way back, Ji Haoyuan couldn't help but ask Master Binghuo about the last Golden Core sect within the Hongduan Mountain Range.

Master Binghuo understood his meaning and shook her head, saying,

"Rest assured, the sect's two Golden Cores are wise individuals.

Although they are from a demon-path sect, their targets for soul extraction and refining have always been demon beasts; plus, they have always acted discreetly, rarely clashing with our Crimson Sunset Sect in the past.

I believe once the word of this spreads, it won't be long before they come to our Crimson Sunset Sect's mountain gate voluntarily."

As it turns out, Master Binghuo's predictions were correct.

Not long after they returned to the Crimson Sunset Sect's mountain gate, the two Golden Cores of the Shadow Soul Sect,

Star Soul True Man and Shadow Moon True Man, appeared before them together.

They proactively expressed their submission to Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo.

Not only did they offer numerous rare spiritual materials, but they also voluntarily handed over a wisp of their soul thought.

This act, though not as restrictive and controlling as planting restrictions in the Sea of Consciousness,

would still severely injure their Divine Souls if that wisp of soul thought were destroyed, forever ending their path of cultivation.

This also showed that the Shadow Soul Sect's submission was genuinely sincere.

After sending off the two Golden Cores from the Shadow Soul Sect, they finally tallied the gains from their defeat of the Netherworld Sect's mountain gate, the slaying of Shadow and Shangguan Yang.

The first being the third-level Spirit Vein of the Netherworld Sect,

along with various mineral deposits and medicine fields.

Next were their sect's treasures and various Secret Technique Manuals.

As for the allocation of resources and mineral deposits, Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo didn't inquire too much.

However, when it came to the cultivation techniques in the enemy sect, especially the demon path secret techniques, they gave strict orders.

Especially those techniques that harmed Heavenly Harmony and required live sacrifices, Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo made it clear they had to be destroyed.

No one was allowed to hide them privately or practice them at will.

Anyone who violated this, regardless of who they were, would face strict punishment.

At this moment,

in Ji Haoyuan's abode within the Crimson Sunset Sect,

he was playing with a jade slip in his hands.

He had already gone through everything within the jade slip.

This was, to Ji Haoyuan, the greatest reward from this battle.

A jade slip obtained from Shangguan Yang.

It contained an ancient artifact refining technique.

Called the Artifact Refining Technique.

The name sounded ordinary, but the contents concerning artifact or treasure refining were anything but.

It even described how to infuse Heaven and Earth Spirit into Lifebound Magical Treasures.

Though the contents of the Artifact Refining Technique in this jade slip seemed obviously incomplete,

with Ji Haoyuan's comprehension abilities, deducing the parts he currently needed was not a challenge.

It's unclear how a person from a Golden Core aristocratic family like Shangguan Yang came across such a high-level artifact refining method.

It not only involved the creation of True Treasures but also significantly covered the crafting of Spiritual Treasures.

It seemed this was due to his personal fortuitous encounter.

Without such, no mere Golden Core family would possess such a high-level artifact refining inheritance.

While these thoughts raced through his mind,

Ji Haoyuan wasted no time.

With a wave of his hand,

his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Flowing Flame Profound Yellow Spear, was already lying horizontally before him.

Gently stroking the spear's body, Ji Haoyuan didn't hesitate and immediately took out the Profound Evil Treasure Spirit he had acquired from the Shengtian Secret Realm the other day.

Buzz!

As soon as the Profound Evil Treasure Spirit appeared, it instantly projected various images of mountains and rivers, lofty peaks, and great rivers, etc.

Meanwhile, it trembled incessantly in Ji Haoyuan's hand as if trying to escape.

"Hmph!"

Ji Haoyuan immediately let out a cold snort from his nose.

In the next instant, endless starry brilliance and thunder surrounded him.

An aura unique to a Realm wielder firmly imprisoned the seal-shaped Profound Evil Treasure Spirit in mid-air.

Boom!

Simultaneously, orange flames suddenly rose from his hands.

The flames expanded and extended rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, both the Flowing Flame Profound Yellow Spear and the Profound Evil Treasure Spirit were enveloped.

Ji Haoyuan's hands swiftly formed intricate spell seals.

One after another, the Artifact Refining Spells, manifested in various forms, whether bright or dark, mysterious or simple, complex or straightforward, merged rapidly into the flame-wrapped Flowing Flame Profound Yellow Spear and Profound Evil Treasure Spirit.

Clearly visible was their gradual fusion as time went on.

Particularly on the Flowing Flame Profound Yellow Spear, vague images of mountains and rivers, lofty peaks, and great rivers began to emerge.

Meanwhile, the spear started to breathe like a living being.

Each breath seemed to draw wisps of the enveloping flames into the spear.

Causing its surface to quickly radiate a tint of orange-red.

Boom!

Suddenly,

the spear's body trembled violently.

At that moment, the terrifying power even caused the abode where Ji Haoyuan resided to shake slightly.
