The gray mist swept his vicious gaze across everyone from the Heavenly Palace. Its expression was incredibly cold. It was the evil intent of a supreme being, so just his gaze alone sent chills through everyone’s bodies.

  After that, the gray mist looked at the cultivator and said coldly, “Throughout the countless years, I’ve been embedded deep within your body. We’ve long since merged into one, so why are you still intent on ruining my affairs?”


  “I’ve held on for so long just to wait for a shred of hope. Now, I finally found it. I can finally die in peace.”


  The cultivator let out a small smile. His tone was calm. When he mentioned dying in peace, his eyes were filled with a sense of relief.

  After saying that, he did not hesitate to conjure seals, casting a strange spell. After that, he pointed at his own forehead,

  “Burn the body with Heavenly Fire. Refine the demon with the body!”


  Woosh!

  The intense flames started to light up the cultivator’s body.

  Those flames were incredibly divine. It was as if they had their own life. They constantly danced and were so strong, that they exceeded all expectations.

  It was the life flame of a supreme being, able to refine anything in the world. Yet, at that moment, the cultivator was refining himself!

  His face was calm as if he was not the one being burned.

  “Ahh, you’re crazy. Stop, quickly stop!”


  The gray mist was going crazy. It constantly roared as it used countless hands to try to extinguish the flames on the cultivator’s body. Yet, the flames would not disappear, and it started to panic.

  It had thought that the cultivator would work with it as long as it managed to root itself into the cultivator’s body. However, it realized it had made a grave mistake. The cultivator was actually capable of destroying his own body with no hesitation!

  It had planned everything but had failed to account for the resolve of man!

  “No, no!”


  Very quickly, the flames started to spread from the cultivator’s body to the gray mist. It even started to burn the ghostly face!

  It had nowhere to run!

  The Heavenly Palace’s group could clearly see everything that was happening in the separate space. The gray mist struggled as terrifying power continued to emit from it. Yet, it was locked firmly into its spot, not affecting everyone else at all.

  They looked at the cultivator with respect.

  They could not stop themselves from walking forward and shouting, “Senior, have a good trip!”


  The cultivator looked at everyone and lightly nodded. His body slowly disappeared, being refined into a round crystal stone. The gray mist was refined within it as well.

  After a moment, the gray mist disappeared and the flames dissipated. Peace was restored.

  All that was left was a crystal ball that floated in front of Nanan and the others. The gray mist contained within seemed to move around like it had a life of its own, constantly changing into various shapes.

  Dragin looked at the crystal ball with a complicated expression as she held it in her hand.

  Cultivator Junjun lamented, “The supreme beings from back then are so admirable!”


  Yang Jing nodded, “That’s true. They were the ones who brought hope to this era.”


  Nanan said, “Thank you so much, everyone. It was thanks to everyone’s hard work that we managed to refine all of the gray mist in this area.”


  Cultivator Junjun laughed and said, “Nanan, you praise us too much. It wouldn’t have ended well for us if we didn’t eliminate a disaster like that. Furthermore, I managed to obtain an ancient technique.”


  Xiao Chengfeng said hurriedly, “That’s right. In terms of effort, Dragin, Nanan, and Lord Dog were the ones who contributed the most. It was all thanks to all of you.”


  “No matter what, we managed to gain a lot this time. Big brother will be very happy.”


  Dragin fell silent for a moment before waving her hand. Rows of fruits and milk appeared in front of her. It radiated in the light of Wisdom, causing everyone’s eyes to brighten up.

  Dragin gulped as she said, “All we can do is give you some presents in big brother’s stead. It’s nothing special, so please don’t be too disappointed.”


  They did not have Li Nianfan’s capabilities, like being able to casually write on a piece of paper or make a magical weapon. All they could do was give away the things from the courtyard.

  “We’re not disappointed, how could we be?”


  “You’re too polite. You’re all really too polite.”


  “Thank you, two fairies and Lord Dog, for your generosity.”


  The Heavenly Palace sang praises, incredibly emotional. Even the Divine Sword Mountain’s two lords trembled as they smiled vibrantly.

  It was their first time receiving a present from the expert, but that was not the point.

  Even the feces from the bottom of the expert’s mountain oozed the power of Wisdom, so how could his fruits be any worse? It was clearly an amazing thing!

  Everyone’s eyes reddened, but they did not fight over it. Instead, they split it evenly in an incredibly controlled manner.

  The mountain lord impatiently bit down on an apple the moment he got it.

  Crunch!

  With the clear sound, the juices of the apple filled his throat. It was far too juicy, and a little bit of the juices flowed out of his mouth which he frantically tried to suck back in.

  So good!

  Amazing!

  The lord’s body shook. He suddenly felt a chill in his heart. His heart soared as his eyes glowed vibrantly.

  Right after that, his body shook again.

  He felt a strange heat flow from his abdomen through his limbs. It went through every meridian as it arrived at his head.

  Those were waves of Wisdom. It was Wisdom that he had never interacted with before. He felt like he had cleared a bottleneck. It was like someone who had never left his house and suddenly saw the outside world for the first time.

  He knew that the Wisdom he had just felt was the Wisdom that was lacking in the world.

  Did countless cultivators not absorb the gray mist just to walk even further on the path of cultivation? At that moment, he felt the exact same thing with just the bite of an apple.

  The vice lord had been nibbling at an orange when he exclaimed, “Th-this orange is capable of illuminating paths that had been cut off before.”


  At the level he was at, it was incredibly hard to get stronger. Yet, if he could keep eating fruits like these, his growth for the future would look really good.

  The Heavenly Palace’s group had a very nonchalant expression.

  Xiao Chengfeng laughed and said, “I did tell you that the expert was gathering gray mist to patch up the flaws in Wisdom. The expert can cleanse the gray mist. The fruits that he planted naturally contain the missing parts of Wisdom.”


  The two lords took a deep breath. They now knew why the people by the expert’s side were all so insane.

  Even fruits like those could be given away easily. It was hard to imagine what being next to him would be like.

  They thanked God that they knew to support the right person.

  After that, Big Lord Demon walked over in a stupor. He got some fruits as well. He hesitated for a moment, but bit his lip as he gave a bit to the Left Messenger.

  Both of them walked the same path, so it was hard to not feel pity for her. However, considering that they could be on different sides in the future, they gave up the idea of getting any closer and parted ways.

  After dealing with everything, the group began to head back to the Ancient Forbidden Area.
