What just happened?

The Golden Core cultivator from the Immortal Alliance stared in shock at the Golden Core Perfection cultivator known as Xuanji Zhenren before him.

This was one of the most renowned Celestial Secret cultivators in the nearby Great Realms near Qingtian Realm, who at a young age had mastered Celestial Secret Techniques to an extraordinary level. Except for matters involving the Nascent Soul Venerable and above, it was said there was nothing he couldn't deduce.

Yet Xuanji Zhenren had just begun to deduce and calculate, and half of his black hair instantly turned white, his face aged as if a hundred years had passed.

Combining this with Xuanji Zhenren's current expression of sheer horror and anger, he vaguely guessed something.

But he really couldn't imagine a Foundation Establishment Bee Daoist having such enormous power behind him.

"Xuanji Dao Brother? Did you deduce something terrifying behind the Bee Daoist?" he asked cautiously.

However, before he could finish his question, Xuanji Zhenren was even more furious!

"What else do you want to investigate? What else do you want to investigate! Do you want me dead on purpose?"

"I haven't deduced anything yet and already lost half my life and two hundred years of lifespan! And you want me to investigate more!?"

Xuanji Zhenren was at the brink of madness; he had deduced nothing, while his lifespan and body essence were greatly consumed.

Originally, he planned to make a fortune from the Immortal Alliance this time to gather resources for breaking through to Nascent Soul, but now his path was half destroyed!

The Golden Core cultivator from the Immortal Alliance, upon hearing this response, also felt as if the sky had collapsed.

It's all over! Not only is there still no sign of the Bee Daoist, but with Xuanji Zhenren's situation, they would have to pay heavily, or else this matter would not pass easily...

The force behind Xuanji Zhenren was significant, and angering them would only make the situation more difficult for the Qingtian Realm Immortal Alliance.

So they could only grit their teeth and acknowledge it; the loss was indeed massive!

But who exactly was this Bee Daoist? Or what great figure was behind him? To be able to backfire on Xuanji Zhenren to such an extent?

Xuanji Zhenren's terrifying backlash and lingering fear in his eyes were definitely not faked!

...

Compared to the collapse of Xuanji Zhenren and the Immortal Alliance's Golden Core cultivator, the atmosphere in the Natural Sanctuary of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was completely different.

"Awoo... (Wow! Boss, the Power of Heaven and Earth Protection on you is much stronger than before! That's why just now you were able to severely injure the enemy in an instant!)"

The little Immortal Tiger stared with wide tiger eyes, utterly shocked by the powerful counterattack just now! Not only successfully blocking a strong opponent using Celestial Secret Technique but also severely injuring the enemy!

Being a Fortune Beast, Tigger was well aware of the weight of that counterattack! It could only say its boss was awesome!

Truly, led by the Power of Fortune, no matter the Power of Destiny or personal strength and methods, they were all incredibly powerful!

Now that Qi Ping had such a strong protective power of heaven and earth, along with the Fortune Beast Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger having Bai Ze Bloodline, anyone attempting to deduce this place was practically courting death!

If it had been stronger just now, perhaps it could have guided an even more terrifying counterattack to directly kill the opponent!

"Much stronger than before?"

Qi Ping recalled that every time he annihilated a place or destroyed a batch of blood sacrifices, he could feel the amount of Heaven and Earth Force he could invoke increasing, along with an increased affinity to heaven and earth.

However, Qi Ping was uncertain whether everyone doing so could gain the recognition of heaven and earth and the Power of Destiny, or if it was due to his identity as a Druid and his understanding of the Dao Heart Realm.

Qi Ping believed it was related to his enlightened Dao Heart, actions, and identity. The mysteries of the power of heaven and earth were boundless, and typically, it would bestow the sheltering power on the appropriate entity, with Druids, who revered the natural world, being naturally suitable.

Regardless, it was a good thing for him, and it did not conflict with the Path of Immortality he wanted to follow.

Such effects were very suitable for him to stay peacefully and farm in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Additionally, Qi Ping discovered that after this slaughter, his talent of {Heaven and Earth's Favor} had indeed grown much stronger.

"Awoo... (And the Power of Fortune on Boss seems to have grown significantly! With Tigger here, along with this protective power, no one could deduce anything about Boss...)"

"Awesome!"

...

Ending the conversation, Qi Ping patted the little Immortal Tiger's furry head and began to take stock of his gains this time...

Firstly, he comprehended the Second Realm of Dao Heart Realm {Home Realm}, and after dealing with problems from the Immortal Alliance's subordinate forces, his talent of {Heaven and Earth's Favor} greatly increased.

Qi Ping could clearly feel the destruction of a large number of blood sacrifices, allowing the Power of Creation to return to the world, had visibly increased the Power of Heaven and Earth in the Qingtian Realm.

Although the scale was not large, it at least stopped the downward trend, and with the gradual development and prosperity of the Qingtian Realm, this force will eventually return to strength and prosperity, allowing Qi Ping to wield a stronger force and enjoy more benefits.

Heaven can nurture people, and people can nurture heaven!

Or rather, any beings including Spirit Plants, Spirit Beasts, and the Human Race growing stronger can nurture heaven!

Though this would take a considerable amount of time, the path of immortal cultivation is long, and Qi Ping had enough time to wait for this land to flourish.

This was why the Demon Insect King was detested by heaven and earth because wherever the Demon Insect King ravaged, the power of the land would wither dramatically.

Apart from these gains and improvements, Qi Ping's most direct gain was naturally the spoils of war!

"Originally, the mission list included twenty-four Foundation Establishment Influence, and one hundred thirty-six Qi Refining Influence..."

"Due to some forces being hidden and protected, a total of seventeen Foundation Establishment-level forces and seventy-eight Qi Refining-level forces were destroyed, some Qi Refining forces were annihilated by another hidden force..."

"Besides these, twenty-three mid-stage and late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were also taken down... more than half of whom were on the mission list..."

These spoils of war had now been buried deep underground by the bee swarm to prevent being discovered by other cultivators.

And having seized such a large quantity of spoils, the gain was enormous beyond measure!

Just in Spirit Stones, Qi Ping estimated there to be at least four or five million!

Four or five million!

While roughly calculating, Qi Ping was himself astonished by the massive quantity of Spirit Stones!

Even when converted to Middle Grade Spirit Stones, there were at least forty to fifty thousand!

Considering an average Foundation Establishment cultivator's worth was usually below a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, with many possessing only twenty to thirty thousand Spirit Stones, most could hardly save much.

And yet, Qi Ping had captured a four or five million Spirit Stone fortune!

This wasn't even counting other spoils besides Spirit Stones.

Such wealth would drive even Golden Core cultivators mad, raising Qi Ping's curiosity — that Silver-faced Golden Core cultivator should guess the value of his spoils, which was certainly considerable, yet had no intention of acting against him...

However, curiosity aside, Qi Ping didn't place much weight on this matter. Once his strength improved, all doubts would naturally be resolved!

"With such a bounty of Spirit Stones, it's the perfect time to acquire a more powerful Spirit Beast, and also arrange for the purchase of spiritual medicine and precious Spirit Wood requiring contracts..."

Qi Ping was now not far from breaking through to an eighth-level Druid, and these Spirit Stones arrived just at the right moment...
