Liu Huayuan screamed in terror in his heart.

But what greeted him was none other than a bolt of Exorcism Divine Thunder descending from the sky.

Boom!

Despite Liu Huayuan's cultivation being at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.

However, without a physical body and being locked by the God-slaying Treasure Gourd, he had no power to resist.

With just one strike, his Nascent Soul was split into ashes by the Exorcism Divine Thunder.

All around, once again, a massive wave of Spiritual Qi surged.

Indeed.

Ji Haoyuan had only utilized the soul-locking ability of the God-slaying Treasure Gourd just now.

He had not used its full power.

This was also because Liu Huayuan had lost his physical body.

Otherwise, dealing with Liu Huayuan in perfect condition, Ji Haoyuan would find it difficult to pose a threat to him without using the God-slaying Treasure Light.

"Junior Brother Nanhua…"

At this moment, True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang came near him.

In their hearts, they couldn't help but be a bit amazed.

They truly hadn't expected Ji Haoyuan's strength to have reached such a level by now.

When you think about it.

Since he arrived here, about three fourth-level beings have fallen by his hand.

True Monarch Feihai, Cyan Mountain Wolf King, Liu Huayuan.

Of course.

Strictly speaking, Liu Huayuan was jointly killed by him and True Monarch Xuanyuan.

But even so, for a cultivator whose cultivation was still at the initial Nascent Soul stage, it was already quite remarkable.

"Why did Liu Huayuan and the others just appear here?

Could it be that they also passed the first test before?

Everyone who passes the first test eventually comes here?"

True Monarch Fuguang suddenly voiced his doubts.

This was also the question Ji Haoyuan and True Monarch Xuanyuan were pondering at the moment.

After a while.

Ji Haoyuan responded: "There should be an element of coincidence in it.

I estimate that the entire Relic Secret Realm has more than one place like the one we encountered before.

But what Senior Brother Fuguang mentioned is not entirely impossible either."

Speaking of which, Ji Haoyuan turned his hand over, and took out the storage rings of Liu Huayuan and True Monarch Feihai.

"To know for sure, we just need to look into their storage rings.

Besides…"

At this point, Ji Haoyuan paused slightly before looking seriously at True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang, saying:

"Senior Brothers, regarding the Supreme Profound Pure Lotus obtained earlier, how do you think it should be distributed?"

In matters of distributing such treasures, Ji Haoyuan did not intend to keep secrets.

He knew that with those close to him, such matters needed to be clarified; confusion was not an option.

True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang obviously understood this.

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, they exchanged glances.

Then, True Monarch Xuanyuan laughed and said:

"Junior Brother Nanhua, the Supreme Profound Pure Lotus was acquired by you cracking the puppet array text.

Junior Brother Fuguang and I only need some of the Supreme Profound Spirit Spring used to nurture it."

Indeed.

The water in that pond earlier was not ordinary, but Supreme Profound Spirit Spring capable of cleansing impurities from a cultivator's Magical Power.

It can make a cultivator's Magical Power purer, more refined.

Additionally.

Supreme Profound Spirit Spring can be used to water various high-level spirit plants, promoting their growth.

In terms of value, the Supreme Profound Spirit Spring itself is a considerable gain.

Evidently, Ji Haoyuan hadn't expected True Monarch Xuanyuan and the others to request only some Supreme Profound Spirit Spring.

After a brief thought, he nodded and said to True Monarch Xuanyuan and his companions:

"There's no problem with that.

However, after we return this time, barring any misfortune, I will likely prepare for advancement to mid-stage Nascent Soul.

During this period, I will need some top-quality Spirit Stones; I wonder if Senior Brothers Xuanyuan and Fuguang have any to spare?

If so, I would like to exchange two with a Lotus Seed of the Supreme Profound Pure Lotus."

True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang were no fools.

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, they could see clearly that Ji Haoyuan intended to give them a Supreme Profound Pure Lotus seed in this manner.

This both moved and impressed them deeply.

Everyone knew that the value of a Supreme Profound Pure Lotus seed vastly exceeded that of mere Spirit Stones.

It's a treasure that can truly enhance their Divine Soul Realm.

Even a Great True Monarch at the late Nascent Soul stage would find it irresistible, enough to spark a battle.

Previously, they didn't mention it simply to avoid taking advantage of Ji Haoyuan.

Since Ji Haoyuan had suggested it, they wouldn't refuse.

"Between Junior Brother Fuguang and me, we have five top-quality Spirit Stones left, which we will give to you, Junior Brother Nanhua.

Once we return, we will offer more top-quality Spirit Stones."

Venturing into the Secret Realm, True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang wouldn't carry everything on them.

Top-quality Spirit Stones were no exception.

"Hehe, five should suffice.

Senior Brothers Xuanyuan and Fuguang, let's do it this way; there's no need for pleasantries."

As they spoke, Ji Haoyuan and his companions completed the exchange.

Subsequently.

The three worked together to open the storage rings of Liu Huayuan and True Monarch Feihai.

When they saw a Cave Abyss Token in Liu Huayuan's storage ring similar to the one in Ji Haoyuan's hand, it largely confirmed their previous guess.

Liu Huayuan had indeed passed the first test.

And apart from the Cave Abyss Token, there were also four top-quality Spirit Stones in their storage rings.

Various magical treasures, elixirs, treasure materials, and so on.

Apart from items that might leave traces for Feixing Palace to detect, Ji Haoyuan and his companions divided almost everything from the storage rings.

Finally.

Ji Haoyuan looked at Liu Huayuan's Yin Yang Golden Wheel and True Monarch Feihai's sea-blue Treasure Pearl, and said to True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang:

"Senior Brothers, could I possibly have these two True Treasures?

I am willing to pay you with Spirit Stones at normal market value."

"Junior Brother Nanhua, saying so makes it seem too distant."

This time, True Monarch Xuanyuan and True Monarch Fuguang were resolute.

No matter what, they wouldn't accept Spirit Stones from Ji Haoyuan.

If he wanted the Yin Yang Golden Wheel and the Water-Stabilizing Treasure Pearl, simply take them.

"However…"

True Monarch Xuanyuan did mention: "Junior Brother Nanhua, these two items bear too much of their traces.

In the future, if you intend to use them, it's best to reforge them.

At least, do not use them in front of Feixing Palace cultivators."
