"Ah!" Indeed, the Blood Fiend Evil Sovereign had hidden a remnant of his soul, wanting to perform the Golden Cicada Shedding trick. But under the Soul-Purging Bewildernt and the Great Universal Zen Light, there was nowhere to escape, and he was utterly annihilated.
Yu Qingtan took possession of the Immortal Blood Refinent Venerable King's Cauldron, which had almost no damage from the self-destruction of the Blood Fiend Evil Sovereign, and used an escape technique to leave the place.
In a certain underground area within the Longevity Domain, Yu Qingtan looked at the Blood Refinent Saintly King Cauldron in front of him, showing a satisfied expression on his face.
"Fairy, peerless in beauty and talent, unmatched in aptitude, Little Lian will follow closely behind you, charging into battles for you, climbing mountains and traversing seas, all without hesitation!" a flattering voice ca from within the Blood Refinent Saintly King Cauldron, belonging to its artifact spirit, self-nad Little Lian.
"I still prefer your unruly deanor from before!" Yu Qingtan said with a laugh.
Although an immortal artifact is powerful, its usage requires a substantial amount of spiritual power, generally from immortal crystals or from the spiritual power of cultivators at the Void Refinent Stage and above. Furthermore, an immortal artifact can exhibit greater power when controlled by a cultivator.
In the previous battle, the Blood Refinent Saintly King Cauldron had used up all the stored immortal crystals and had lost the Blood Fiend Evil Sovereign. With only the artifact spirit Little Lian, its power was reduced to almost nothing.
After acquiring the Blood Refinent Saintly King Cauldron, Yu Qingtan began attempting to refine it for his own use. However, Little Lian, the artifact spirit, who ca from an ancient immortal artifact, looked down upon Yu Qingtan, a re Void Refinent Stage cultivator. Before, it only had a cooperative relationship with the Blood Fiend Evil Sovereign.
Then, Yu Qingtan directly threw the Blood Refinent Saintly King Cauldron into his Sea of Consciousness and conveyed his thoughts to the system dad. The system dad didn't fail, and a mysterious fluctuation swept over, making Little Lian instantly feel an indescribable great horror about to befall him.
If such a great horror were to be inflicted upon him, even though the spirit of an immortal artifact is almost indestructible, it would still fall into a permanent slumber. Hence, Little Lian knelt without hesitation.
"Fairy, previously Little Lian was foolish, please bear with ," Little Lian said sowhat sheepishly, unaware that this person possessed such terrifying powers.
"Could it be a top-tier immortal artifact?" Little Lian wondered.
Immortal artifacts are not graded, but the differences between them can be as vast as the gap between heaven and earth. Although the na Blood Refinent Saintly King Cauldron sounds domineering, in reality, it's just an ordinary immortal artifact.
"What functions does this Blood Refinent Saintly King Cauldron have?" Yu Qingtan asked, while refining the Blood Refinent Saintly King Cauldron and speaking to Little Lian.
"Replying to the fairy, the core function of the Blood Refinent Saintly King Cauldron is actually to assist in body refinent. With sufficiently powerful blood, I can produce potent auxiliary body refinent sacred liquids. With my help, Fairy, your physical body can integrate with the Dao, and even transcending into immortality is not a dream.
"Previously, that pig Blood Fiend Evil Sovereign, with just a little help from , reached the Soul Fusion Realm. Unfortunately, he couldn't obtain higher-grade blood and even used , this treasure cauldron, to smash people. He deserved to die by the Fairy's hand!" the artifact spirit Little Lian explained eagerly.
Yu Qingtan thought of the Demon Blood Refinent Technique she practiced before, and couldn't help but feel fortunate that the first immortal artifact she obtained was so well-suited for her.
A couple of weeks later, with the cooperation of Little Lian, Yu Qingtan finally completely refined the Blood Refinent Saintly King Cauldron. She then handed Little Lian over to the artifact spirit Little Wu of the Five Elents Canglan Umbrella for training, and she herself returned to the Longevity Imperial Palace.
Yu Qingtan brought with her so clothes belonging to the Blood Fiend Evil Sovereign and the spoils of war from plundering and killing as proof of her slaying the Blood Fiend Evil Sovereign, and went to et Ying Ning Saint Venerable.
"What, you actually killed the second-ranked Blood Fiend Evil Sovereign on the wanted list?" Ying Ning Saint Venerable exclaid in astonishnt.
Initially, she thought that Qing Shuang, having received the heritage of Miao Yuan Emperor Sovereign, might not be particularly adept at fighting, but his thods were effective against evil cultivators. The ninth and tenth ranked evil cultivators on the wanted list had barely ascended to the Void Refinent Stage through so crooked and evil ways in the last century; it was still possible for Qing Shuang to take them down.
"Unfortunately, the Blood Fiend Evil Sovereign self-destructed, and I couldn't retrieve his head," Yu Qingtan sighed.
"Having accomplished this is already enough. You truly surprise
ti and ti again; you have perfectly passed the test once more and can now beco an Elder of our Longevity Imperial Palace. I will now take you to et the Palace Master of our Longevity Imperial Palace, the Longevity Emperor Sovereign, and let her grant you the Elder Token."
Ying Ning Saint Venerable said with a smile on her face. Although the corpse of the Blood Fiend Evil Sovereign was not recovered, she believed Qing Shuang had neither the courage nor the need to lie about such a matter.
"By the way, I also obtained a token from the Blood Fiend Evil Sovereign; I wonder what its use is?" Yu Qingtan said, taking out a dark unknown material token.
"A Da Gao Token, these evil cultivators indeed have so involvent with the Da Gao Empire. A Da Gao Token is issued by the Da Gao Empire to those who have rendered ritorious services. It's very useful in the Da Gao Empire, such as requesting a Saint Venerable to make a full effort once, or exchanging for a Superior Dao Artefact, etc.
"Originally, killing the Blood Fiend Evil Sovereign would have earned you a reward of one hundred thousand Imperial Palace Contribution Points, but with this Da Gao Token, the reward can be doubled."
Ying Ning Saint Venerable had just finished speaking when a flash of surprise and delight crossed Yu Qingtan's eyes. She had not anticipated that this inscrutable token held such imnse value. She knew well that one Imperial Palace Contribution Point was equivalent to one Immortal Crystal, even with a considerable premium.
"I see, thank you for clarifying, Saint Venerable." Yu Qingtan bowed respectfully and handed the Da Gao Token to Ying Ning Saint Venerable.
Subsequently, Ying Ning Saint Venerable personally led Yu Qingtan to the deeply situated Longevity Hall within the Longevity Imperial Palace, the most sacred and solemn place of the Longevity Imperial Palace. Along the way, the majestic palaces, the Spiritual Energy so rich it almost liquefied, various exotic flowers and plants blooming in competition, and Spiritual Beasts and birds leisurely content, displayed a serene yet powerful scene.
Upon stepping into the Longevity Hall, an ancient and solemn aura hit them, and in the center of the hall, a middle-aged woman dressed in a luxurious Emperor's Robe and with a dignified expression sat on the throne—it was the Palace Master of the Longevity Imperial Palace, a Transcendance Tribulation Stage existence—Longevity Emperor Sovereign.
Her eyes were slightly closed, as if breathing with heaven and earth, surrounded by a faint golden glow, a symbol of her Cultivation Level having reached the pinnacle.
Ying Ning Saint Venerable stepped forward a few steps and whispered, "Palace Master, Qing Shuang has completed the mission and perford excellently. We've co for an audience and request that you bestow the Elder Token."
Longevity Emperor Sovereign slowly opened her eyes, her gaze piercing, swept over Yu Qingtan, and a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes.
"Well done, Qing Shuang. I am already inford of your situation, and I am very satisfied with your performance. Since this is the case, you are now a newly-promoted Elder of our Longevity Imperial Palace, and I hope you will continue to promote the heritage of the senior Miao Yuan." With that, she waved her hand lightly, and a gold token embellished with intricate runes appeared in front of Yu Qingtan, symbolizing the identity of an Elder of the Longevity Imperial Palace.
Yu Qingtan stepped forward, took the token with both hands, and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Palace Master. Qing Shuang will not disappoint and will contribute her strength to the Longevity Imperial Palace."
"Very well, our Longevity Imperial Palace needs talents like you." Longevity Emperor Sovereign nodded in satisfaction and then closed her eyes again.
Seeing this, Yu Qingtan and her companion bowed again and then left the Longevity Hall.
