Chapter 526: Claiming for Oneself

“Dad, I discovered something in the Demon Realm,” Yan Qingling initiated a video call with Li Xiaojun.

“What did you find?” Li Xiaojun asked in surprise.

Through the video call, Li Xiaojun could see that Yan Qingling was in the Demon Realm, as everything around her was enveloped in darkness.

However, the situation revealed by Yan Qingling’s divine sense perception was something Li Xiaojun could not see.

“Dad, I’ll simulate the situation I observed into a video for you.”

As soon as Yan Qingling finished speaking, Li Xiaojun saw the scene perceived by her divine sense.

In the Demon Realm, Yan Qingling’s divine sense detected a pool of special spiritual energy.

This energy was not peculiar, but what made it strange was that it existed in an empty void.

The spiritual energy looked like mist similar to spiritual energy, but it felt wholly incompatible with it.

From Yan Qingling’s observations, the demon tribe Da Luo was currently cultivating with this energy.

After seeing Yan Qingling’s simulated scene, Li Xiaojun could not identify what it was.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaojun decided to go to the Demon Realm himself.

Then, he teleported to a demon tribe member nearby who bore his bloodline.

As soon as he entered the Demon Realm, Li Xiaojun had the system conceal him.

Now that he was a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and his divine sense strength was comparable to that of Da Luo, he was undetected even under the nose of the demon tribe Da Luo with the system’s help.

Once in the Demon Realm, Li Xiaojun scanned with his divine sense.

Soon, he saw the scene that Yan Qingling perceived with her divine sense.

“Eh?”

Li Xiaojun was surprised.

He realized that he was very familiar with the place Yan Qingling had sensed.

“Isn’t this the space crack created by the black long spear?”

Li Xiaojun exclaimed in astonishment.

Previously, he had discovered that chaotic spiritual energy continuously leaked out from here, eventually filling the entire Demon Realm, making the energy there unsuitable for cultivation.

Later, when Li Xiaojun took the black long spear, the space crack seemed to have healed, so why was there a crack again now?

Moreover, this crack seemed to be leaking chaotic spiritual energy once again…

“Wait.”

Suddenly, Li Xiaojun sensed something was off.

The energy leaking from the space crack was not chaotic spiritual energy.

Because if it were chaotic spiritual energy, the demon tribe would not be able to use it for cultivation.

Chaotic spirit stones could only be directly absorbed for cultivation by powerhouses above the Primordial Supreme Golden Immortal level.

For a Da Luo Golden Immortal to try to absorb such high-level energy for cultivation would be akin to seeking death.

“Yan Qingling, find a way to draw this demon tribe Da Luo away,” Li Xiaojun said to Yan Qingling.

“Okay, Dad,” Yan Qingling quickly agreed.

Moments later, Li Xiaojun sensed that the demon tribe Da Luo and Yan Qingling engaged in battle.

As Yan Qingling fought the demon tribe Da Luo, she led him further away.

Soon, both of them disappeared from Li Xiaojun’s divine sense perception.

Just after the demon tribe Da Luo left, in the next moment, Li Xiaojun arrived directly at the edge of the space crack.

Here, the demons had set up a formation specifically to collect the spiritual energy seeping from the crack.

Li Xiaojun studied the formation briefly before quietly sneaking in.

As he entered the formation, Li Xiaojun immediately sensed the abundant spiritual energy within it.

“This energy is superior to spiritual energy but inferior to chaotic spiritual energy. Could it be innate spiritual energy?”

Li Xiaojun was quite surprised.

He thought that testing it would confirm it.

Then, Li Xiaojun quickly began to use the system space to collect and compress this spiritual energy.

Since the energy was very pure, Li Xiaojun didn’t need to filter out impurities.

Moments later, he held a crystal-clear spirit stone the size of his thumb in his hand.

He flipped his hand, and the spirit stone returned to the space.

At the same time, Li Xiaojun started to let the space absorb the energy of this spirit stone first.

After a moment, the absorption stopped.

Li Xiaojun calculated.

The system absorbed the spirit stone at a speed one hundred times faster than that of a superior grade immortal essence stone.

So, this was an innate spirit stone condensed from innate spiritual energy.

It was a higher grade spirit stone than superior grade spirit stones.

In that moment, Li Xiaojun finally understood why most of the Da Luo demons in the Magic City could advance further.

It was because this innate spiritual energy contained the laws of heaven and earth, which were incredibly important for cultivators in the Da Luo realm.

Especially for those beings who had lingered at the mid-stage or early-stage Da Luo for a very long time, this energy was what could help them advance.

Only those who had just entered the Da Luo realm, even if they cultivated with this innate spiritual energy every day, would not break through in a short time.

This meant that the recently advanced Da Luo demons were those who had refined in their previous realm for a long time.

“How is it going over there, Yan Qingling?” Li Xiaojun quickly asked his daughter.

Yan Qingling was only at mid-stage Da Luo, and he wondered how long she could hold up against the late-stage demon tribe Da Luo.

However, on the other side, the battle between Yan Qingling and the demon tribe Da Luo was completely different from what Li Xiaojun imagined.

At that moment, Yan Qingling, wielding the black long spear, was overpowering the late-stage demon tribe Da Luo.

“What kind of weapon is this? How can it be so powerful?”

“Damn it, if you really have the skill, don’t use weapons. Let’s fight fair and square…”

The demon tribe Da Luo felt greatly humiliated as Yan Qingling pressed him in battle.

He was a late-stage Da Luo powerhouse, yet he was unable to defeat a mid-stage Da Luo Human Race.

However, Yan Qingling didn’t bother to respond to the demon tribe Da Luo’s nonsense; she remained silent but her attacks grew increasingly fierce and ruthless.

Faced with the black long spear in Yan Qingling’s hand, even though the demon tribe Da Luo held a weapon, he still dared not confront her directly.

His last weapon had been reduced to scrap by the black long spear.

“Dad, I’m fine. This demon tribe Da Luo is not my opponent; I’ll see if I can find a chance to kill him,” Yan Qingling sent a message to Li Xiaojun while fighting.

“Alright, be careful. If you encounter danger, teleport at any time. I have already opened the teleportation permissions for you,” Li Xiaojun replied to Yan Qingling.

“Okay, Dad. Don’t worry.”

…

Yan Qingling continued to battle with the demon tribe Da Luo.

Their fight caused a huge uproar in the Demon Realm.

On the ground, many demons trembled in their caves, hiding in fear.

At the same time, several demon tribe Da Luo raced towards the direction of the battle through the space cracks between the Demon Realm and Kunlun Realm.

It was clear that the demon tribe Da Luo had already relayed the situation.

…

At this moment, Li Xiaojun did not leave the Demon Realm.

He was observing the situation at the spot where the innate spiritual energy was emanating from the space crack.

Li Xiaojun attempted to use his divine sense to enter the space crack.

His divine sense had been enhanced by the system, so he barely managed to enter.

Li Xiaojun’s divine sense extended along the crack.

He discovered that the space crack was filled with numerous smaller cracks.

Behind these smaller cracks, countless even smaller cracks existed.

The innate spiritual energy emerged from these cracks and converged in the Demon Realm.

Half an hour later, a strand of Li Xiaojun’s divine sense finally penetrated through layers of space cracks and revealed the situation inside.

Li Xiaojun found that, at the very back, was the place where he had taken the black long spear.

That area was filled with dense chaotic spiritual energy.

This chaotic spiritual energy surged through countless space cracks into the Demon Realm.

However, after passing through numerous cracks, this chaotic spiritual energy had been transformed into innate spiritual energy by the space cracks.

This situation was truly unexpected for Li Xiaojun.

It was simply amazing.

Upon realizing the situation, Li Xiaojun did not withdraw his divine sense; instead, he intensified his exploration.

“Not enough, still not enough.”

“System, raise the formation level to Immortal Grade Level 8.”

Countless pieces of information appeared in his mind, and soon, Li Xiaojun mastered the knowledge of Da Luo-level formations.

Once the formation level reached Immortal Grade Level 8, Li Xiaojun used his divine sense to observe the condition of the space cracks.

Several hours passed.

“Finally figured it out, hahahaha, this works!”

After several hours of research, Li Xiaojun finally understood the principle behind the space cracks converting chaotic spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy.

The reason chaotic spiritual energy was transformed into innate spiritual energy was fundamentally the same as the principle of converting spiritual energy into ordinary spiritual energy.

However, there were some different conditions as well.

To convert chaotic spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy, it was necessary to use certain laws, which Li Xiaojun sensed, including the rule of space and the Laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

With this understanding, in the future, if Li Xiaojun wanted to convert chaotic spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy, he just needed to arrange a formation.

While Li Xiaojun was studying formations, on the other side, Yan Qingling was originally chasing the demon tribe Da Luo.

However, the next moment, several Da Luo-level powerhouses suddenly appeared in her divine sense.

Furthermore, as soon as these demon tribe Da Luo appeared, they directly surrounded Yan Qingling in the middle.

It was clear that the demon tribe Da Luo, who had just been sent fleeing, had led her into the encirclement of the demon tribe Da Luo.

“Can’t win, so you call for help, huh? Despicable.”

Yan Qingling spat.

“This lady won’t play with you anymore, goodbye.”

After saying this, her figure disappeared.

“Huh? The no-fly formation didn’t work?”

Seeing Yan Qingling disappear, all the demon tribe Da Luo frowned.

Just a moment ago, Yan Qingling not only entered their ambush but also engaged in a field they had long arranged with a no-fly formation.

This no-fly formation had been set up by the demon tribe Da Luo long ago.

Over the years, they had laid out no-fly formations in various cities across the Demon Realm and Kunlun Realm.

The purpose was to ensure that the rat-like beings of the Human Race could come and never return.

They believed that within the no-fly formation, no living being could use the rule of space.

However, the current situation was that Yan Qingling of the Human Race left calmly.

“Bosaro, what’s wrong with you? You are already a late-stage Da Luo, so how are you still being overpowered by Yan Qingling, who is only a mid-stage Da Luo?”

A late-stage Da Luo asked the demon tribe Da Luo who had just been pressed by Yan Qingling.

Hearing this, the demon tribe Da Luo’s face immediately darkened.

“What do you mean? Do you think the Human Race’s Yan Qingling is weak? Although she is only mid-stage Da Luo, she specializes in the rule of space, and she has a very powerful weapon in her hand.”

After a pause, Bosaro continued, “Don’t blame me; if it were you, you wouldn’t be able to defeat her either.”

Hearing this, another late-stage Da Luo from the demon tribe showed a serious expression on his face.

“Bosaro, are you sure that Human Race Yan Qingling is stronger than you? I’m not joking; tell us the truth.”

Seeing the serious expression from the other side, Bosaro thought for a moment and nodded, “I really can’t defeat Yan Qingling. The weapon in her hand is too powerful; I have already lost two magical devices to her.”

Upon hearing this, all the demon tribe Da Luo wore serious expressions.

“Sigh! It seems that even if we break through to late-stage Da Luo, we can’t do anything to the Immortal Tribes.” another late-stage Da Luo from the demon tribe sighed.

They had just broken through to late-stage Da Luo, and not long after, Yan Qingling personally came to their door, telling them that even if they reached late-stage Da Luo, she could still overpower them and retreat with ease.

In such a situation, if they were to go to war with the Immortal Tribes, as long as Yan Qingling carried out ambushes in the rear, the outcome for both the Immortal and demon tribes would only be one—both sides suffer losses.

Perhaps the demon tribe Da Luo could kill many from the Immortal Tribes, but the demon tribe would also have to prepare to endure being slaughtered by Yan Qingling.

Under such circumstances, several demon tribe Da Luo just thought about it and realized the futility of waging war against the Immortal Tribes.

On the Immortal Tribes’ side was Yan Qingling, and she was too terrifying. If they could not kill her, then the demon tribe would likely never dare to go to war against the Immortal Tribes.

Yan Qingling was akin to a nuclear bomb-level deterrent of the twenty-first century.

As long as she was alive, the demon tribe would not dare to wage war against the Immortal Tribes, let alone provoke the Human Race.

…

“Dad, I have left the Demon Realm. A few of the old Six from the Demon Realm tried to ambush me, but fortunately, I escaped quickly.”

After leaving the Demon Realm, Yan Qingling spoke to Li Xiaojun at the first opportunity.

Hearing Yan Qingling’s words, Li Xiaojun replied, “As long as you returned safely, that’s good.”

“By the way, transfer that black long spear to me; I need it now,” Li Xiaojun mentioned.

“Okay.”

Yan Qingling responded and quickly teleported Li Xiaojun’s black long spear over.

Li Xiaojun needed the black long spear, not because Yan Qingling had finished using it and wanted to take it back right away.

Rather, the black long spear was useful to him right now.

He needed the black long spear to destroy the demon tribe’s innate spiritual energy conversion device.

After Yan Qingling teleported the black long spear over, Li Xiaojun immediately took it out.

The moment he held the black long spear, Li Xiaojun attacked the space crack.

Pfft!

The next moment, the black long spear tore the space crack open to over a hundred times its size.

After finishing all this, Li Xiaojun quickly took out countless array disk materials and placed them into the space crack.

Upon completing this, Li Xiaojun prodded the space crack a few times with the black long spear.

Moments later, under Li Xiaojun’s watchful gaze, the space crack quickly disappeared, until finally, it looked as if it had never existed.

“Ah! That was quick.”

Suddenly, Li Xiaojun detected several powerful divine sense waves.

“Time to go!”

The moment he sensed the divine sense waves, Li Xiaojun left the Kunlun Realm.

Just now, he had set up a super soul-locking formation within the space crack.

At the center of the soul-locking formation was a small world that Li Xiaojun had just opened up.

In this way, any innate spiritual energy that converted here would no longer appear in the Demon Realm; instead, it would directly manifest in his newly created small world.

According to the speed at which the innate spiritual energy gathered, it would only take about a thousand years to fill the small world.

At that time, Li Xiaojun could visit this place and extract the innate spiritual energy to condense it into innate spiritual stones.

Under such circumstances, resources that originally belonged to the demon tribe would be transformed into Li Xiaojun’s.
