Gu Jian and his men searched the ruins for another hour, but still couldn't find Ye Chen.

Instead, they found the corpses of some powerful members of the Misty Sect.

It seems they were all caught in the blast and died when the formation exploded.

But there was no trace of Ye Chen.

This puzzled Gu Jian, who wondered whether the guy had been blown to pieces or escaped using methods he didn't know about.

Gu Jian thought about it for a moment, but did not draw a conclusion.

Half an hour later, after he encountered the thousands of demon soldiers searching for them in the ruins, Gu Jian ordered the demon soldiers to search together.

They searched for another two hours but still couldn't find any trace of Ye Chen.

This made Gu Jian wonder if he had really escaped.

"As expected of a protagonist-like chosen one, he managed to escape even like that."

Gu Jian muttered to himself, but he felt no sense of defeat.

Gu Jian understood the irrationality of those destined for greatness very well before he transmigrated.

Moreover, all the opportunities that originally belonged to Ye Chen along the way ended up in his hands.

in addition.

There are still three Holy Demons in the Cloud Realm. As long as Ye Chen wants to subdue the Holy Demons, he will inevitably encounter them again.

Thinking of how Ye Chen had awakened the Chaos Saint Body in the Cloud Soaring Secret Realm in his previous life, Gu Jian suddenly remembered something and asked the Chaos Saint Demon, "Demon Qiao, do you know where there is Chaos Liquid?"

In his previous life, Gu Jian remembered Ye Chen boasting about it.

Because he obtained the Chaos Liquid, he eventually awakened the Chaos Holy Body.

Because Mo Qiao is a Chaos Saint Demon, Gu Jian couldn't help but associate the Chaos Liquid with Mo Qiao.

He guessed that Mojo might know the whereabouts of the Chaos Elixir.

A look of surprise appeared on Mo Qiao's gentle and perfect face as she said to Gu Jian, "Strategist, you're talking about the Chaos Divine Liquid, aren't you?"

"Um."

Gu Jian nodded.

Mo Qiao's appearance was stunning, as if he had been meticulously sculpted by the Creator.

Despite emanating demonic energy, her voice was incredibly gentle as she said, "The Chaos Divine Liquid is an extremely precious spiritual substance, almost nonexistent in this world. However, I am a Chaos Saint Demon, capable of condensing rare Chaos Divine Liquid using the power of chaos."

"During the 100,000 years I was imprisoned by the Holy Monument, I would use magic to condense Chaos Divine Liquid whenever I had free time."

"Over the past 100,000 years, a total of ten drops have been condensed."

As she finished speaking, the ring on Mo Qiao's finger flashed slightly, and a jade bottle appeared in her hand.

"Strategist, this is the Chaos Divine Liquid that I have condensed."

"Mojo gave it to the strategist."

Under the astonished gazes of Feng Yantong and Hua Mudan, the leader of the flower demons, Mo Qiao handed the jade bottle to Gu Jian.

Gu Jian was also surprised; the Chaos Divine Liquid was so difficult to condense.

Then, he became embarrassed and said, "Mo Qiao, isn't this too precious?"

Mo Qiao shook his head and said, "Although the Chaos Divine Liquid is precious, it is useless to Mo Qiao."

"My lord... strategist, please accept this. Consider it a token of Mo Qiao's goodwill."

"Alright then."

Gu Jian did not refuse again and put away the jade bottle containing the Chaos Divine Liquid.

His goal was to seize all the opportunities that belonged to Ye Chen, and he wouldn't let go of the Chaos Divine Liquid either.

The Flower Fairy Leader, Peony, looked at the Chaos Saint Demon with a strange feeling in her heart.

She expressed her feelings?

Could it be that this Chaos Saint Demon has also fallen for this strategist?

Um?

No way, they just met.

Moreover, why should I say "also"?

It's like someone else likes him too.

The Sheep Demon Grand Tutor also looked at Gu Jian with a puzzled expression, thinking to himself that the strategist was truly charming.

Indeed, youth is a blessing.

Back in his youth, he attracted several female sheep demons.

The Sheep Demon Grand Tutor then asked Gu Jian, "Strategist, where do we go next?"

"Go to the place where the next holy demon resides."

Gu Jian spoke up, then asked, "Which sacred stele is closest to us?"

Hua Mudan said, "The most recent sacred stele is the Tongtian Sacred Stele."

At this point, Hua Mudan seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Jian asked.

Hua Mudan looked at Gu Jian, her beautiful eyes sparkling with joy, and said, "The Heavenly Stele is located inside the Heavenly Tower in the Cloud Realm. The Heavenly Tower is located on the Sky-Connecting Plaza in the Cloud Realm."

"The Heavenly Plaza itself holds immense potential, known as the Heavenly Ladder."

A ladder to heaven?

Gu Jian felt the name sounded familiar, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "The Land for Awakening the Holy Body?"

"good!"

Peony said, "The Heavenly Ladder has a total of ninety-nine steps. There are mysteries on it that can connect with the laws of heaven and earth."

"As long as you climb the Heavenly Ladder, you will have the opportunity to awaken your Sacred Body. The higher the ladder you climb, the greater the probability of awakening your Sacred Body."

"Um."

Gu Jian nodded, unable to help but think of his past life.

In his previous life, Ye Chen's Sacred Body was awakened on the Heavenly Ladder.

Although Ye Chen escaped this time, based on the plot development of his previous life, he will most likely go there.

However, now that the Chaos Divine Liquid has fallen into his hands, Ye Chen's chances of awakening the Chaos Sacred Body are almost zero.

But it's myself.

Because he possesses the supreme bone of gods and demons, his talent is extremely extraordinary.

Perhaps this will allow me to awaken a powerful sacred body?

Thinking of this, Gu Jian said, "In that case, let's go to the Heavenly Connection Square. We'll awaken our Sacred Body first, and then subdue the Heavenly Demon. If Commander Peony also wants to awaken her Sacred Body, she can give it a try."

"Um."

Hua Mudan nodded. This was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, and she really wanted to give it a try.
