"Thank you, Lord Xue, for helping this old servant condense the Second Soul!"

The Shadow Ancestor deeply bowed to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen reached out to help the Shadow Ancestor up, smiling lightly, "There's no need for formalities. Let's return to the battle; we can talk after this is over!"

"Yes!" The Shadow Ancestor nodded, pulled Jiang Chen up, and in a flash, disappeared from the Old Site of Elixir Valley.

Above the Martial Arts Arena in Yunpiao Sect.

Ten figures, all exuding the aura of Saint Realm, were locked in a fierce struggle, with Supreme Ming Que hovering five hundred meters away, unable to intervene.

Swish!

Two figures appeared beside Supreme Ming Que.

"Senior!"

Upon seeing Jiang Chen and his companion, Supreme Ming Que bowed to the Shadow Ancestor.

"Hm! Remember, my strength is only at the mid-Saint Realm!" the Shadow Ancestor said solemnly, staring directly at Supreme Ming Que.

"Yes!" Supreme Ming Que instantly understood and nodded earnestly.

"Lord Xue, please wait a moment." The Shadow Ancestor clasped his hands toward Jiang Chen.

"Alright! I'll go down and take a look!" Jiang Chen nodded, his figure flashing downward.

The Shadow Ancestor did not speak, raising his head and staring steadily at Supreme Ming Que.

Supreme Ming Que paused slightly, then suddenly realized, and his figure flashed, following Jiang Chen down.

The Shadow Ancestor glanced at the ground, confirming that Supreme Ming Que wasn't trying to escape, before turning towards the battle arena!

In the Martial Arts Arena.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Jiang Chen and Supreme Ming Que almost simultaneously descended onto the arena.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Looking around, Jiang Chen closed his eyes slightly, his whole body radiating a magnificent Soul Force.

Everyone else was searching using their senses and eyesight, but Jiang Chen decided to try his Soul Power.

Supreme Ming Que glanced at Jiang Chen and stood vigilantly by his side as his protector!

"Lord Xue, the Soul Force from the Second Soul is the best for detecting fluctuations in aura!" A voice transmitted into Jiang Chen's mind.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, and his aura suddenly transformed.

Originally a mysterious aura, now suddenly became vast and boundless!

Supreme Ming Que was slightly taken aback, a touch of surprise in his gaze towards Jiang Chen.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Suddenly, several subtle fluctuations were transmitted through Soul Force into Jiang Chen's perception.

"Hu Zi, three o'clock on your left at a height of a hundred meters!" Jiang Chen shouted with closed eyes, "Spirit You, on your right... Ying Zi... Leng Ming..."

After arranging four people, Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The four figures all leaped into the air according to Jiang Chen's directions.

"Strike through the mountain wall, two meters in thickness!" Jiang Chen softly called out.

The four of them complied and struck a palm towards the mountain wall!

"No!"

"Stop!"

Sun Buping and others in the aerial battle noticed Yan Hu and the others' actions and exclaimed in shock.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

A rumble echoed, revealing large holes in the mountain wall in front of Yan Hu and the others, with pure and massive energy spilling out.

"This is..." Supreme Ming Que's expression changed, and he flashed to the cave entrance closest to Yan Hu.

Swish, swish!

Jiang Chen followed Supreme Ming Que, leaping beside Yan Hu.

"Such pure energy!" Yan Hu couldn't help but exclaim.

Looking inside the cave, Jiang Chen squinted slightly.

Inside the cave was a tower-shaped stone pile made up of nine energy stones, the energy spilling from these stones gave Jiang Chen a very familiar feeling, the energy level actually matched his Inner Qi level!

Furrowing his brows lightly, Jiang Chen recalled Dragon Saint once saying that after the refinement in the Holy Court, his Inner Qi level had reached a high degree, entirely surpassing the Inner Qi purity of Dragon Saint, a Saint Realm expert—an unprecedented energy intensity in Dragon Saint's lifetime!

Yet, what about these stones? Are these energy stones similar to those within Gene Warriors that can be absorbed?

"Young Master, there are nine stones filled with pure energy in the cave!" The shout echoed, and Spirit You turned to Jiang Chen.

"I have them here too!"

"Same here!"

Leng Ming and Ying Zi both shouted.

Glancing at the positions of the three people, Jiang Chen had a sudden inspiration, his figure soaring into the air, looking down from above.

"Marking Formation!?" Jiang Chen murmured, recognizing the large formation composed of the four piles of stones.

"How can you know the Marking Formation? Who are you really? Which faction's lineage do you belong to? The branch lineages left by the major factions cannot attack each other, don't you know that?"

Suddenly, Sun Buping's angry roar sounded from the sky.

Looking up at the battlefield above, Jiang Chen furrowed his brow tightly.

The branch lineages left by the major factions cannot attack each other?

What does this mean? Could it be...

Jiang Chen felt a tremor in his heart, his eyes widening, speaking quickly, "Take all the stones from the cave immediately!"

"No!"

"You cannot do this!"

"Jiang Chen, you are violating the Divine Soul oaths sworn by the ancestors upon leaving, and will face punishment from the Heavenly Dao!"

Sun Buping and others were shocked, shouting angrily, their figures flashing as they attempted to rush down.

Yet, how could Zhou Wanchen and others let them break free from the battle, attacking furiously.

With the Shadow Ancestor joining, the fight had overwhelmingly suppressed Sun Buping and a few others, having gained the upper hand; how could they let them escape, being targeted by an enemy in Saint Realm would become any faction's nightmare!

"Yes!"

Yan Hu and several others disregarded Sun Buping and others' words, replying loudly, the four rushed inside the cave to extract the stones.

Swish, swish, swish!

Extracting the stones, the four figures leaped beside Jiang Chen, handing the stones over.

Jiang Chen glanced heavily at the thirty-six stones, then said solemnly, "Hu Zi, keep them for now."

"Yes!"

Yan Hu responded, taking the stones from the other three, scanning the surroundings before flying away, heading directly to the Elixir Pavilion of Yunpiao Sect.

Objects containing energy need to be stored in jade containers to prevent the energy from dispersing too much; the Elixir Pavilion must have jade containers.

"Hu Zi, while you're at it, sort out the elixirs inside the pavilion, Spirit You, go sort out the Sutra Pavilion's items, I'll call someone to move them back!" Jiang Chen instructed again.

"Yes!"

Yan Hu and Spirit You responded together.

Taking out his phone, Jiang Chen dialed a number.

"Beep... beep... Hello, Young Master!"

Jiang Chen spoke softly, "An Long, notify reliable brothers near Elixir Valley to head to the west of its Old Site... and move some things back to Dingjing!"

"Yes!"

After Jiang Yi and others sacrificed themselves, An Long returned, taking over the protection of Dingyun Lake Manor, while An Hu handled security for the Jiang Family of Jincheng.

Ending the call, Jiang Chen scanned Yunpiao Sect, descending into the Martial Arts Arena, looking up at the battle in the sky.

The entire Yunpiao Sect had been explored, and there wasn't anything else of value to find!
