Celestial Rely Ancient City, above the sky, the battle of Half-Saints was fiercely contested.

The cultivators observing the scene within the city were mesmerized and dazzled.

At the Alchemist Square, a remarkably handsome man with extraordinary bearing looked at the two women fighting and sighed helplessly, "Master, Chairman, please stop fighting."

This young man was named Ancient Dust.

He excelled in everything from Martial Dao to alchemy, artifact refining, talisman refining, and arrays. His achievements in Alchemy Dao, Artifact Dao, Talisman Dao, and Array Dao left many of the older generation far behind.

"You insolent disciple, come back with me. If what you said about being framed is true, I will ensure justice is served for you."

The Demoness pushed back the president of the Alchemy Guild with a decisive palm strike and spoke firmly.

Ancient Dust took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I trust you, Master. Chairman, please cease fighting!"

"Brother Chen, don't go! There are many in the Celestial Demon Sect who want you dead, including a Saint. If you go back, it's unlikely you will survive."

A beautiful girl in a purple dress beside him anxiously grabbed his sleeve and said, "If it comes to it, Brother Chen, come with me to Medicine King Valley. Let's see if the Celestial Demon Sect dares to cause trouble there."

Medicine King Valley?

Gu Qijue was on a rooftop at a tavern, sipping wine and watching the drama. Hearing the girl mention Medicine King Valley, his interest piqued.

Medicine King Valley was a transcendent force with inseparable ties to the Alchemy Master Guild.

In the Celestial Domain market, eighty percent of spirit medicines came from Medicine King Valley.

Securing Medicine King Valley would be greatly advantageous for Gu Qijue.

The only difficulty was that reaching Medicine King Valley required crossing the Great Yan Dynasty, so the first step would be to take down the Great Yan Dynasty.

But how could Saints from the outside come in without being detected by the Divine Wilderness Heavenly Dao?

Gu Qijue pondered.

No wonder the Alliance was at a loss; the Divine Wilderness Heavenly Dao didn't allow anyone above a Saint to enter.

Nonetheless, he was unaware that.

The Alliance's three Peak of Emperor Level ancestors were already communicating with the Emperor Star Will, preparing to use it to suppress the Heavenly Dao Will here in the Celestial Domain.

For Emperor Star, facing such fertile lands, while resources were running low, it was crucial.

If the Emperor Star Will indeed decided to suppress the Heavenly Dao Will of the Divine Desolate Continent's Celestial Domain, it would mark the beginning of Emperor Star's large-scale invasion.

"Yun'Er, don't worry, I have ways to protect myself!"

Ancient Dust patted the girl's slender shoulder and raised his head, saying, "Chairman, please stop! It's my Master who raised me; I must follow her back to clear my name."

With that, he soared into the air, flying towards his Master.

The Celestial Burial Demon Venerable said flatly, "Good to know. The Sect Leader has emerged from seclusion, and as long as you haven't betrayed the sect, no one can frame you."

"Chairman Zhong, I will return, rest assured!"

Ancient Dust, looking at the chairman who had taken great care of him recently, slightly frowned and bowed in respect.

"So be it, take care of yourself!"

Zhong Yunling shook her head and turned back to the city.

The Heaven-Burying Demoness also took Ancient Dust and departed through the void.

"Aunt, how could you let Ancient Dust leave with that Demoness?"

Returning, the girl in the purple dress said with great resentment.

"That was his own choice!"

Zhong Yunling shook her head again and then announced loudly, "Celestial Melody Ancient City, Alchemy Master Guild's chief alchemist trial's third round continues! The chosen chief will represent Celestial Melody Ancient City in the Celestial Domain's Alchemy Dao competition in six months."

Every hundred years, the Celestial Domain hosts grand competitions in Martial Dao, Alchemy Dao, Artifact Dao, Talisman Dao, and Array Dao.

The champions of these competitions are heralded as the brightest prodigies of their generation.

Participants must not exceed a hundred years of age.

Martial Dao is particularly the one all sides value the most.

Gu Qijue took a gentle sip of wine and muttered to himself, "Perhaps I can enter Medicine King Valley through that woman and the girl first. I have plenty of Blood Crystal Stones... I wonder if I can directly advance to Demon Saint in the Divine Desolate Continent..."

Being an anomaly himself, with six Peak of Saint Tier, two Half-Emperor, and one Peak of Emperor Level Dragon Pearl, while others needed cultivation, he only required vast, pure energy to evolve without any bottlenecks.

After three rounds of drinking,

Ji Yinyue, having taken a bath, walked over elegantly.

She donned a silver waist cinching skirt; the hem was short, barely covering half of her thighs, showcasing her slender waist, ample hips, and full peaks vividly.

Her skin, white as jade, was still faintly red due to her recent bath.

Making her appear both pure like a maiden and alluring like a mature woman.

"Has the fight ended so soon?!"

Ji Yinyue walked over and sat across from Gu Qijue, glancing at the sky.

"It was just a farce of a master looking for her disciple. However, within this farce, I found an excellent opportunity to enter Medicine King Valley."

Gu Qijue sipped his wine and briefly recounted the events to Ji Yinyue.

Ji Yinyue took a bite of greens as she listened, her eyes brightened, and she nodded, "Indeed, it is a good opportunity."

Gu Qijue said, "For now, we can only probe Medicine King Valley. To occupy it, we must suppress the Heavenly Dao Will here to allow Saints and Emperors in. When the time comes, Celestial Moon Group must strive for Medicine King Valley."

Gu Qijue was certain that the Alliance was surely finding ways to suppress the Heavenly Dao Will of the Celestial Domain.

If suppression succeeds,

it will be time for major groups to divide the strongholds of Celestial Domain's powers.

Medicine King Valley, being such a valuable asset, will certainly attract many groups.

"Rest assured, President Xing. We are determined to secure Medicine King Valley; no one can take it from us. When I came here, I heard from the ancestor that the Alliance's three ancestors are already communicating with the Emperor Star Will, preparing to ask it to suppress the Heavenly Dao Will of the Celestial Domain. If successful, it will be time to start the war."

Ji Lingyue sipped her spirit wine and smiled charmingly at Gu Qijue, "The Celestial Domain is just a corner of the vast Divine Desolate Continent, a world rich in resources. If we could immigrate people here, it would be ideal."

Gu Qijue nodded slightly, "Yes! I need to seclude myself for a while now, to strive for entering into Demon Saint. It will provide me with more means to protect myself while entering Medicine King Valley!"

"Ah? Demon Saint?"

Ji Yinyue was startled, her luscious lips slightly parted, "That's an enormous hurdle. I've been at the Peak of Tier Nine Demon Emperor for over two hundred years and have yet to touch the barrier of Saint Level..."

"Once I advance, I will help you cross into the Demon Saint without any side effects!"

Gu Qijue smiled faintly, "Do you trust me?"

Hearing his confident words, Ji Yinyue instinctively nodded, half-jokingly said, "President Xing, if you can help me advance to Demon Saint without any side effects, I might be so thrilled that I'd pledge myself to you!"

Gu Qijue smiled and said nothing, "During my seclusion, you can try reaching out to this city's Alchemy Master Guild chairman, or maybe start with that girl first."

With that, Gu Qijue used his demonic power to condense a Demon Power Crystal Core and threw it to Ji Yinyue, "Swallow it into the Demon Sea within your body. The Heavenly Dao Will and anything investigative here should not be able to reveal your identity."

Ji Yinyue took the purple-black Demon Power Crystal Core, her beautiful eyes scrutinizing Gu Qijue, finding this man increasingly mysterious and unfathomable.

A shroud of mystery enveloped him.

She took out a space bracelet and handed it to Gu Qijue, "It contains clothes for changing, as you probably didn't prepare any!?"
