Chongjiu knew this because the sky reminded him.

Jiang Fuling had visited that cave; the spiritual energy inside was thin, and it was as dark as an abyss, hence the name "Abyss Cave."

Even if he stays inside for a hundred years, he still won't be able to break through to the Mahayana stage!

Jiang Fuling immediately knelt down, "Please forgive me, Your Excellency. I am truly innocent. I really did not say that. He misunderstood me."

“If you don’t know how to repent, then you don’t need to come out.” Chong Jiu looked at him coldly.

Jiang Fuling saw that they had not investigated or questioned him at all, yet they had already determined that it was his fault. This was too biased and unfair.

"Your Excellency, why did you judge it to be my fault without even conducting an investigation? You can't be so biased towards Jiang Jingyi and the others!"

"The spiritual energy in the cave is thin; even if you cultivate day and night, you still won't reach the Mahayana stage."

Chong Jiu looked at him coldly, "Heh, do you need to comment on how I do things?"

Sky laughed and said, "Do you really think Your Excellency knows nothing? Do you really think you're completely inscrutable?"

"Jiang Fuling, no one is stupid, but you are naively stupid."

"Your own eyes darted around nervously, giving yourself away, and you still have the nerve to say the Lord is biased? If it were me, I'd be biased too. Why keep a fool instead of a smart one?"

Is it pretty?

What's so good about you?

Jiang Fuling slumped to the ground, looking at Chong Jiu and recalling how he looked when he first emerged from the abyss.

How could he think he could get away with it? Where did his confidence come from?

Shu Jianyue looked up at the sky and said, "If this happens again, the person who started it will be thrown into the abyss."

"Furthermore, I did not establish the Supreme Temple for you to retire in. If you want to reap the benefits without sowing, you'd better get out of the Supreme Temple as soon as possible."

"I don't have time to deal with these trivial matters. The Sky and the Heavenly Court are in charge here. Those who don't want to listen can leave."

"However, those who have entered the Supreme Temple and wish to leave must pay a price."

"I will formulate new sect rules. Anyone who dares not to abide by them will pay the price."

"Your Excellency, what is the price?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Shu Jianyue looked around and chuckled, "Abolish the spiritual veins and demote them to mortals."

"This..." The people below looked at each other in bewilderment.

Isn't this too serious? After all, everyone's cultivation level was already quite high when they joined.

Shu Jianyue continued, "And those who remain in my Supreme Divine Palace will not be stingy with me. I can't guarantee anything else, but their cultivation speed will be more than twice as fast as ordinary people."

“If you enjoy the resources of the Supreme Temple and still cause trouble, then no matter what your cultivation level was before you entered, you will only be an ordinary mortal when you leave the Supreme Temple.”

Jiang Jingyi led the way in bowing, "Yes, we have remembered, and we will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

"Yes, we will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations." The spirit beasts naturally had no ulterior motives, after all, they were able to obtain this fortune thanks to Shu Jianyue.

Seeing that Jiang Jingyi had expressed her opinion, those members of the original tribe naturally followed suit.

After all, they had enjoyed the resources mentioned by the Venerable One; after eating those spiritual fruits, their cultivation levels had increased by one or two ranks.

"Very well, I hope everyone will keep their word, otherwise I won't hold back." After saying that, Shu Jianyue looked up at the sky and said, "Let the banquet begin."

The banquet didn't end until mid-moon. After confirming that no one was leaving, Shu Jianyue gave Tiankong several baskets of spiritual fruits and asked him to distribute them.

If we're going to keep these people with heavy moxibustion, then they must have a purpose, so we can't be stingy with them. After all, they'll be more useful if they're well-nourished.

On the same day, Shu Jianyue handed the suspended stone that Chong Jiu had given to Yi Dexi, and then left the Supreme Temple with Chong Jiu.

They still have to find Chen Xin, and whether they can find him depends entirely on luck.

So, for several days in a row they returned empty-handed, without even finding a single piece of information.

Seeing that they went out every day without taking them with them, Yu Chuan secretly followed them with Wu Yan after Chong Jiu and Shu Jian Yue left the Supreme Temple on the second day.

Wu Yan tried to speak several times, but Yu Chuan covered her mouth each time.

Who are Chong Jiu and Shu Jianyue? How could they not know that they were following behind?

The two of them didn't have any particular destination in mind, so we let them follow us if they wanted.

As a result, Yuchuan and Wuyan stopped following after only a short distance.

Shu Jianyue looked at Chong Jiu and said, "Your son has such low patience."

Chong Jiu glanced at her and said, "Your son is too curious."

The way they're talking makes it sound like each son is his own.

Shu Jianyue looked away. "Ahem, Yu'er has gotten into another fight with someone. Should we go and see?"

Chong Jiu glanced at him and said, "If he can't even handle this, then he needs to practice more."

"Let's go first. Since he didn't call us, it means he can handle it."

Yes, how could Yuchuan not know his parents' capabilities? The fact that they didn't send him and Wuyan back meant that they agreed to let them go.

He naturally knew that his parents were nearby. Besides, with his cultivation level, if he still couldn't handle these people, he would probably have to go back to the furnace for retraining.

Yu Chuan pulled Wu Yan aside and looked at the girl in front of him, saying, "Can't you be a little more reserved, you're a young lady?"

"I'm still a minor, so I don't need to worry about finding a partner. Please stay away from me."

"Underage? Who are you trying to fool? With your looks and figure, who would dare say you're underage?" The pretty and cute girl standing in front of Yu Chuan glared at him.

"Besides, they're minors now, what's there to complain about? Countless men in the mortal world get married at fifteen or sixteen."
