Similar tragedies to the one that befell Luminous Fire City were constantly unfolding in the Demon Beast Forest. It seemed that from the moment they entered, their fate had already been sealed.

In the players' eyes, these NPCs were just lambs to the slaughter. What use were they? The Demon Beast Forest was their own backyard. Who could tolerate their backyard being invaded? Certainly not them! Consequently, the forces from the Northern Wilderness suffered grievously, with nearly all of them perishing within the Demon Beast Forest.

After clearing out the Northern Wilderness forces that had entered the Demon Beast Forest, the players returned to the Profound Yellow Sect.

Today's Profound Yellow Sect could truly be called the leading power in the Northern Wilderness. Even the Celestial Splendor Sect had acknowledged the Profound Yellow Sect's status. There was no other reason for this. It was simply because the Profound Yellow Sect possessed the strength.

"These NPCs, I don't know what they were thinking. How could they dare come to the Demon Beast Forest with such pathetic strength?"

"You have no idea about the group we ran into. They didn't even get a chance to run before we took them all down."

"If you ask me, the people from Lingxiao Hall are the ruthless ones. Those from Luminous Fire City encountered them, and not a single one survived!"

"The plot demanded it; we were just following a storyline Task. It's just a pity there was no Task Reward this time."

The players gathered, discussing the recent siege by the various Northern Wilderness forces.

But soon, a piece of news broke the calm.

Dung Beetle and the others had completed the Spiritual Root Task!

When this news broke, it galvanized all the players. They flocked to Wood Leaf Village to find out more.

Not asking would mean not knowing, but asking brought a real shock. Dung Beetle and his group hadn't just left to deal with the Northern Wilderness forces outside; they had instead gone straight to the Cold Pond.

The Nine Nether Cold Red Flood Dragon had actually given Wood Leaf Village a small mountain's worth of Spirit Crystals.

Goodness gracious. With so many Spirit Crystals, it should be enough for everyone in Wood Leaf Village to achieve a breakthrough all at once, right?

Dung Beetle hadn't embezzled any of it. Instead, he had taken out all these Spirit Crystals and generously contributed them to complete the Spiritual Vein Task.

With the formation of the spiritual vein, the Spiritual Qi inside the Profound Yellow Sect became denser once again.

In the past, the Sect's Spiritual Qi could merely be sensed, but now it was different. The Profound Yellow Sect was shrouded in mist, a clear sign of extremely dense Spiritual Qi.

Such dense Spiritual Qi—even in the Central Domain, probably not many factions could boast of possessing it, right?

Even Xu Nian was shocked by this abundant Spiritual Qi.

Was this still his Profound Yellow Sect? This wasn't some kind of joke, was it? To say it rivaled the powers in the Central Domain wouldn't be an overstatement, would it?

The Blood Demoness, deep in seclusion, was also startled by this. In the entire Sect, only she could currently utilize this Spiritual Qi for cultivation.

Now, she had directly broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

In the Northern Wilderness Territory, the Divinity Transformation Realm was already considered an exceptionally powerful level of existence.

Wasn't Zhou Fengqi, the City Lord of Luminous Fire City, himself at the Divinity Transformation Realm?

After her breakthrough, the Blood Demoness emerged from seclusion and immediately sought out Xu Nian to inquire about the situation.

Xu Nian told her about the spiritual vein, reassuring her not to worry, as such matters were trivial.

He said that once their Profound Yellow Sect became even stronger and larger, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for the entire Sect to be filled with Immortal Qi!

While the two were sitting and discussing the spiritual vein, Xu Nian's Communication Ring suddenly rang.

Hmm? Was someone trying to contact him?

After Xu Nian connected, he found it was Meng Fenggu from the Southern Continent's Great Dream Immortal Sect.

"Sect Leader Xu, how have you been since we last met?"

Meng Fenggu smiled warmly, stroking his beard as he gazed at his Communication Ring. Truth be told, this Communication Ring was truly excellent. It had made contacting friends so much more convenient. Ever since they started Live Streaming, they had earned quite a lot of Spiritual Stones.

Now, apart from watching Live Streams, they also proactively streamed content themselves. They would preach to the Female Disciples of the Central Domain's Jade Flower Immortal Sect, earning a large number of Spiritual Stones from the Central Domain in the process.

It could be said that their Great Dream Immortal Sect had struck it rich this time!

"Sect Leader Meng, you're looking radiant. It seems the follow-up matters in the Southern Continent have been resolved?"

Xu Nian picked up his cup of Spirit Tea, took a sip, and said with a smile, "One doesn't visit without a reason. Sect Leader Meng, for you to contact me so suddenly, I imagine there's something specific you need?"

He was very clear about Meng Fenggu's nature. That old man was very astute; acting as a middleman had already earned their Great Dream Immortal Sect a considerable profit. For him to suddenly seek Xu Nian out, there was definitely something more to it. In the past, Meng Fenggu usually contacted some Disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect and rarely initiated contact with Xu Nian himself. This sudden communication definitely spelled trouble!

"Hahaha, it's no wonder Sect Leader Xu could handle the Demon Race and the Sea Race. You've seen right through it," Meng Fenggu said, taking out a Golden Invitation and smiling as he spoke, "The Jade Flower Immortal Sect is holding a Spiritual Peach Banquet and has sent us an invitation. Since Your Sect prefers not to have outsiders enter, the disciple they sent to deliver the invitations also left your Sect's invitation with me. Sect Leader Xu, you've mentioned you've never been to the Central Domain, right? This is a perfect opportunity for our two Sects to team up and show them what we've got. We'll let those people in the Central Domain get a clear look at the strength from the outer regions!"

As soon as his words fell, Xu Nian received a System Task.

Since the completion of the last Task, his strength had already broken through to the Integration Realm. According to his calculations, it would take at most three more Tasks for him to reach the Tribulation Realm.
