Helplessly, Senior Brother Yun Tian could only assign the more difficult task to Ye Tianfan to handle, while he went to search for the simpler materials.

"You should split up and take separate actions. If you can't find the materials within a week, then go to the black market directly. For whatever materials they need in exchange, go to Taiqi Peak and ask for them. If Taiqi Peak doesn't have them, I'll inquire with other sects for these materials," said Zhi Chu Immortal to Ye Tianfan and the others before they left.

Ye Tianfan nodded, then called forth his Flying Sword and flew into the distance.

Regarding the Holy Light Ore, Ye Tianfan thought that if he remembered correctly, it should have appeared in the Demon Cloud Deep Forest.

But it seemed that near the Holy Light Ore, there were some quite formidable Demon Beasts.

Ye Tianfan immediately accelerated in the direction of the Demon Cloud Deep Forest.

A day later, Ye Tianfan arrived at the Demon Cloud Deep Forest. Since Ye Tianfan's strength had reached the Thousand Source Realm, his current flying speed was about three times faster than before. What used to take three days to reach now only required one.

Remembering the information he read in documents, the Holy Light Ore seemed to be in the eastern part of the Demon Cloud Deep Forest. After checking the sky to determine the east, Ye Tianfan then stepped on his Flying Sword and sped off madly.

Watching the forest beneath him retreating like a blur, Ye Tianfan marveled at his speed. However, he then wondered how fast people in the Baihui Realm, Shifang Realm, or even the Taichu Realm, could travel if his Thousand Source Realm speed was this fast.

It seemed that he had never seen his master's full speed during flight.

At this moment, Ye Tianfan felt a faint holy aura ahead.

Could it be the Holy Light Ore?

Since Ye Tianfan had only seen the Holy Light Ore in documents and had never encountered it in reality, he assumed that the holy aura ahead was emitted by the Holy Light Ore.

Immediately, Ye Tianfan flew at great speed toward the source of the holy aura, skimming the treetops. As he flew, Ye Tianfan felt the holy aura growing stronger, and after more than ten minutes, he finally approached the location, which was only dense forest.

It seemed that this was the location of the Holy Light Ore; he didn't expect it to be so straightforward.

But at that moment, Ye Tianfan felt the holy aura suddenly expand greatly and then produce violent fluctuations.

As the fluctuations increased, the holy aura sensed by Ye Tianfan started to transform into an opposite sensation.

Before long, the holy aura completely disappeared in Ye Tianfan's perception, turning unbearably evil.

Next, Ye Tianfan felt something rush out from underground. He quickly stopped and used the cover of the giant forest to leap to the top of a towering tree, ensuring he wouldn't be immediately discovered by the Demon Beast emerging from underground.

"Splat!"

The ground erupted, sending nearby trees flying sideways. Where Ye Tianfan was, a lot of dirt was sprayed, but fortunately, the dense branches and leaves blocked it.

Ye Tianfan then saw a gigantic Demon Beast.

This Demon Beast's massive body was about seven to eight meters long, covered in black-and-white scales that glistened dazzlingly in the sunlight.

The Demon Beast had a sinister-looking lion-like head, with beastly eyes glowing a bizarre black amid the blood red, a mouth brimming with fangs, and a pair of black-and-white wings on its giant lion's body. Its four sturdy claws were adorned with black and white crystals, emanating an extremely evil aura from the black crystals, while the white crystals emitted no aura at all.

Once the giant Demon Beast emerged from the ground, it shook its body and slowly walked in a certain direction.

The source of the evil aura Ye Tianfan sensed came from this Demon Beast.

"Is this... the Saint Evil Lion?" After seeing its appearance and various behaviors, Ye Tianfan guessed the species of the lion.

Furthermore, Ye Tianfan remembered that the Saint Evil Lion was the Demon Beast that accompanied the Holy Light Ore. They would lay their eggs inside the Holy Light Ore and use both it and the Evil Light Ore to bury their eggs, allowing them to absorb the energies of the Holy Light Ore and Evil Light Ore.

Just like the Holy Light Ore, the Evil Light Ore was a pure mineral composed solely of evil, without a trace of holiness.

The Holy Light Ore and Evil Light Ore were twin ores growing together. The Holy Light Ore formed by absorbing a large amount of holy aura.

When the Holy Light Ore absorbed the holy aura, what about the remaining evil aura? It took root next to the Holy Light Ore, forming the Evil Light Ore.

The Evil Light Ore absorbed the evil aura and discarded the holy aura.

The discarded holy aura would seek the Holy Light Ore and be absorbed by it. Thus, the two ores complement each other, intertwined.

As soon as Ye Tianfan saw the Saint Evil Lion, he knew that the Holy Light Ore was nearby, though he didn't know its exact location.

Once hatched, the Saint Evil Lion no longer needed the support of the Holy Light Ore and Evil Light Ore. However, they would build their den not far from their birthplace, guarding the Holy Light Ore and Evil Light Ore.

The reason why the Saint Evil Lion guards the Holy Light Ore and Evil Light Ore is to lay its offspring there, ensuring they are not harmed; otherwise, how would they reproduce?

Without these two ores, their eggs would never hatch, leading to the extinction of their line.

Thus, any place with Holy Light Ore and Evil Light Ore would have a Saint Evil Lion, and without them, no Saint Evil Lion would exist.

So Ye Tianfan was certain that the Holy Light Ore was present nearby.

Ye Tianfan thought to himself that he was quite lucky to have found clues to the Holy Light Ore upon arriving, but he still needed to avoid the Saint Evil Lion. Otherwise, if the Saint Evil Lion discovered him while searching for the Holy Light Ore, he would be finished, considering the Saint Evil Lion had the strength of the upper Baihui ranks.
