While other groups from the Emperor Star and some other top-tier forces were trying to gather intelligence on the Ice Soul Domain,

Gu Qijue was already fully cognizant of all the available information on the Ice Soul Domain.

Not only did he gather intelligence, but he also purchased a large amount of meteorite ore and star crystal stones.

Both meteorite ores and star crystal stones were extremely affordable.

Because under normal circumstances, these two materials required a demigod powerhouse to process them in order to be effective.

Demigod powerhouses had greater ambitions and higher pursuits.

It was impossible for them to spend a significant amount of time processing these materials.

The key issue was that even if a demigod processed these materials, the effect was not very good.

Meteorite ore could be turned into meteor alloy by demigods, but the processing difficulty was extremely high, requiring a significant amount of time and energy from the demigods.

Extracting high-purity energy from Blood God Crystal into star crystal stones was even more of a thankless task.

Aside from being extremely difficult, much of the high-purity energy would dissipate during extraction.

In short, with the technology of the Divine Desolate Continent, and even including the Emperor Star's technology, it was still impossible to effectively utilize these two resources.

After purchasing a large amount of meteor crystal stones and star crystal stones, Gu Qijue and Ji Yinyue rented a floating painting boat to sightsee in mid-air.

Compared to other spies entering the Ice Soul Domain with a dangerous nine-lives gamble for intelligence, Gu Qijue and Ji Yinyue were essentially there for a holiday.

The floating painting boat could hover at low altitudes over most areas of the Ice Soul Domain, designed specifically for sightseeing.

Back on the painting boat, Gu Qijue used his demonic power to completely isolate any external probing.

If a demigod were to spy there, both he and Ji Yinyue would notice immediately.

If there were no demigod spying, neither Quasi-Emperors nor Emperor-level beings could see anything.

"Hoo—"

Feeling the boat enveloped by Gu Qijue's demonic power, Ji Yinyue let out a long sigh of relief.

Her power was currently only at the Quasi-Emperor level, and she wasn't as bold as Gu Qijue.

Especially considering the Ice Soul Domain was now guarded by four demigods, she was extremely nervous while outside.

Nevertheless, the rewards from this trip were indeed significant.

First of all, they had learned that the Ice Soul Domain was guarded by four demigods.

Furthermore, the resources in the Ice Soul Domain were unbelievably abundant.

If they could conquer the Ice Soul Domain, the strength of all major groups of the Emperor Star would be advanced to another level.

Gu Qijue held a piece of star crystal stone in his hand, observing it.

Seeing Ji Yinyue breathe a sigh of relief, Gu Qijue teased her, "What's there to be afraid of with your husband around?"

Hearing this, Ji Yinyue blushed and then retorted playfully, "And who knows how many people's husband you really are?"

At her words, Gu Qijue laughed heartily, then pulled Ji Yinyue into his arms and gave her a firm kiss, saying, "No matter how many people's husband I am, I am yours!"

Hearing this, Ji Yinyue could only hum lightly, without refuting.

This was something she couldn't argue with.

Gu Qijue was able to continually purify her bloodline, and through this process, she became increasingly attached to him.

Now she belonged entirely to Gu Qijue, both body and soul.

After pondering for a moment, Ji Yinyue stood up from Gu Qijue's embrace, gave him a kiss, and said, "No matter how many people's husband you'll be in the future, today at least you're mine."

Gu Qijue smiled softly, "Why wait until tonight?"

With that, he lifted Ji Yinyue by the waist and walked towards the bedroom of the painting boat.

Ji Yinyue's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of shyness, "Aren't you going to study the star crystal stones and meteorite ores?"

Gu Qijue laughed, "No rush, I'll study you first, then those stones and ores."

"You're terrible!" Ji Yinyue's cheeks were awash with red, utterly embarrassed.

If they were on the Emperor Star, or anywhere familiar, it might have been different.

But the Ice Soul Domain was enemy territory, and here Gu Qijue wanted to "study" her; it only proved how daring the Emperor Star's Supreme Leader was.

Gu Qijue didn't know what Ji Yinyue was thinking. Looking at her delicate face like fine porcelain, he wanted to think of nothing irrelevant anymore.

While Gu Qijue and Ji Yinyue appeared to have a honeymoon-like reconnaissance in the Ice Soul Domain, Gu Yangze, Dao Taihuang, and many other power figures and group presidents were deeply troubled.

Gu Yangze's Taigu Group was originally the pioneer in exploring the Ice Soul Domain.

But now, Gu Yangze found that he couldn't even send a single scout into the Ice Soul Domain.

The scouts Taigu Group previously left in the Ice Soul Domain had also completely lost contact.

He seemed blinded, unable to obtain more useful intelligence from the Ice Soul Domain.

This infuriated Gu Yangze, and he promptly announced he was going into seclusion to attempt becoming a demigod!

The allure of the Ice Soul Domain to Gu Yangze was enormous, like an exquisite beauty awaiting his pluck.

Yet this exquisite beauty was surrounded by wolves, and without demigod strength, he dared not approach casually.

Since so, naturally he had to go into seclusion to impact demigodhood!

Whether successful or not, he had to try!

Other elders of the Emperor Star Alliance also chose to go into seclusion at this time.

In the battle with the Celestial Domain, they had achieved distinguished feats and obtained substantial resources.

They all planned to quickly convert these resources into personal strength.

The conquest of the Celestial Domain made everyone realize the benefits abundant battle power could bring.

Having tasted the sweet fruit once, everyone was eager to replicate it in the Ice Soul Domain.

While the quasi-emperors, great emperors, and even demigods of Emperor Star were actively preparing for battle,

the Ice Soul Domain was also busily preparing for conflict.

The strength of the Ice Soul Domain was inherently stronger than that of the Celestial Domain.

However, since the Emperor Star had already conquered the Celestial Domain, the Ice Soul Domain and Black Wind Domain decided to unite.

Aside from supporting the Ice Soul Domain with a demigod, Black Wind Domain also sent a large number of powerhouses, continually going to the Ice Soul Domain.

Seven days passed in a flash, and Gu Qijue and Ji Yinyue did not go as far as to leave behind a little Gu Qijue in the Ice Soul Domain.

During these seven days, they gathered a lot of useful intelligence and acquired numerous resource samples at a high cost.

When they left the Ice Soul Domain to return to the Emperor Star, they discovered one last crucial piece of news.

Apart from Black Wind Domain, the Celestial Wolf Domain and Southern Heng Domain also provided support to the Ice Soul Domain.

This intelligence was undoubtedly very important for the Emperor Star Alliance Army.

It's uncertain if the other groups had discovered this information.

With ample resource samples and critical intelligence, Gu Qijue and Ji Yinyue embarked on their journey back home.

In those seven days, they left behind many beautiful memories in the Ice Soul Domain and developed several new techniques.
