They made it back to the Outer Court without any issues.

Upon seeing Jiang Yuan, Gu MO came forward. “Young Master, several disciples from the inner sect dropped by while you were out.”

Inner sect disciples?

Jiang Yuan looked surprised. Apart from Liu Jie and Liu Rushi, who else did he know?

So he asked, “Did you recognize any of them?”

Gu MO shook his head, “I’ve never seen them before! They said they’d visit again once you’re back.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, not overly concerned.

He would find out who they were when they came to visit.

Glancing at the pile of spiritual stones in his ring, a smile crept onto Jiang Yuan’s face.

Finally, he could indulge a bit!

Soon after, forty low-grade spiritual stones were swiftly installed on the Spirit Gathering Array.

The spiritual energy in the entire courtyard instantly condensed into a thin mist.

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, a look of surprise crossing his face.

It was different!

Compared to before, he now felt that his efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy had greatly increased.

It was as if his body had formed a vortex, frantically drawing the surrounding spiritual energy towards him.

Jiang Yuan kept his breathing steady, opening up the spiritual veins in his body one step at a time.

Time ticked away.

The next day.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eves.

The Spirit Gathering Array had already stopped operating because he had depleted the pile of spiritual stones, turning them into a pile of waste.

Jiang Yuan clenched his fist.

Felt the strengthened spiritual power within his body.

So strong!

He couldn’t help but exclaim.

Originally, these forty low-grade spiritual stones could support seven days of his cultivation.

Now, they were exhausted in just one day, turned into mere debris.

Was this the effect of the golden qi movement?

After continuously absorbing spiritual energy for a day, he didn’t feel any abnormalities in his meridians.

In the past, if he kept it up for too long, he would feel the load on his meridians.

That golden qi movement, truly deserving of the label ‘Unparalleled Talent.’ It was an all-round enhancement to his potential for cultivation.

However, it seemed that advancing to the next realm would require even more resources now.

After one night, the forty low-grade spiritual stones he had consumed had only opened up five meridians in his body.

But feeling the wider, more robust meridians and the increased capacity of the field of elixir within him, he understood once again.

The Human Emperor of ancient times, standing in the Human Realm, was able to battle against beings who had condensed the Dao Fruit of a true immortal.

There was even a record in an ancient book about the Human Emperor.

One Human Emperor, in a fit of rage, had mano-a-mano killed a true immortal from the lower world, forcing the immortal beings to bow their heads before him.

He was the one who had established the prestige of all Human Emperors.

Ever since then, whenever immortals descended to the world of humans, they had to respectfully and cautiously deal with the Human Emperor.

This was the recognition of power and position.

Unfortunately, these records were far too ancient, and there was no way to verify them, so they could only be regarded as legends.

Moreover, ever since the paths of humans and immortals had been separated after the sky was torn, there had been no presence of immortals in the human world.

Many people now believed that immortals actually did not exist in this world. As for the ancient times, the histories handed down were seemingly only popular legends and mythological stories, not at all credible!

As soon as he opened eyes, Jiang Yuan saw Gu MO standing in the courtyard with a sword, not meditating or practicing his sword moves.

Jiang Yuan said, “Gu MO, there’s no need for you to guard me here, you should go and cultivate as well!”

“Young Master, there’s no rush! My cultivation can wait a while longer!”

Jiang Yuan gave a small laugh. He knew Gu Mo’s character well and knew his words of persuasion were of no use.

So he said, “If you don’t work on your cultivation, your strength will lag far behind mine, and how will you be able to guard me then? In case of an enemy attack, won’t I have to step in myself?”

“This…” Gu MO was taken aback.

In Jiang Yuan’s hand, a flash of white light revealed a small bug containing a few drops of milky white liquid, wrapped in a faint moonlight.

“Catch it!” Jiang Yuan tossed it towards him, and he grabbed it out of the air.

“Young Master, what is this?”

“This is Mystical Moon Gostana. There are three drops inside which can greatly refine your divine soul!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Mo’s expression changed instantly. “Young Master, this is far too precious!”

He immediately walked over to return it to Jiang Yuan.

He dared not casually toss it like Jiang Yuan did. Any heavenly material or earthly treasure that could enhance the divine soul was priceless.

Even with enough spiritual stones, he could not necessarily buy it.

Had he failed to catch it when it fell to the ground, crying wouldn’t be of much use!

Jiang Yuan said, “Keep it, I have plenty more! Besides, if you don’t improve your strength soon, you might not even be able to match my little maid!”

“Her?” Gu MO was stunned, turning to look at Shu Xiaoxiao who was hanging clothes in the distance.

“Xiaoxiao, show Gu MO your swordsmanship!”

She glanced at Jiang Yuan and sweetly replied, “Alright!”

She wiped her wet hands on her skirt.

Then, she casually picked up a bamboo branch and flicked it at Gu Mo.

The spiritual energy in the world was drawn by it, a long river of sword qi suddenly emerged out of thin air.

The river rushed and waves rolled.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth continued to be incorporated into it. In an instant, this river of sword qi became incredibly condensed and substantial.

Upon seeing this, Gu Mo’s pupils contracted and his expression changed drastically.

Clang!

A longsword was drawn from its sheath.

The intent to kill instantly filled the entire courtyard.

A moment later, the courtyard returned to its original quiet state.

Shu Xiaoxiao tossed the bamboo branch away, clapped her hands and said, “Done! Now, I’ll continue to hang up the Young Master’s clothes!”

She left Gu MO standing dazedly in the wind.

Jiang Yuan laughed, “I told you so! If you don’t put in more effort, you won’t be able to match even my little maid!”

Only then did Gu MO slowly say, “Such a powerful sword intent, even capable of drawing in heaven and earth’s spiritual energy for her use! And the true intent of water, is this what a real heaven’s genius is?”

At that moment, any complacency he’d had instantly vanished without a trace.

Relying on his realm advantage, he felt that he could still win against Shu Xiaoxiao for now..
