“My dear master, why waste so much breath on them? If they disagree, let’s just go all out and destroy it. Anyway, my master is a rogue cultivator. The reason he left me to guard the secret realm is that he doesn’t want his hard work to fall into the hands of some sects. I believe he won’t blame me.”

Ye Shubai glanced at this talkative and cunning guy. Others might not know, but he knew perfectly well that in his current state, he couldn't even move this space, let alone destroy it. At best, he could only act as a gatekeeper.

Liu Mingyue smiled awkwardly. If this secret realm was indeed left behind by a senior rogue cultivator, then it was normal for sects like theirs to have objections.

However, on the other hand, resources in the cultivation world are reserved for the capable. Their Bright Moon Palace has the ability to seize this opportunity. So what if Ye Shubai performs the feat of slaying a Great Ascension stage demon with his sword? Their Bright Moon Palace also has a Tribulation Transcending stage elder in charge.

Ye Shubai sighed. There was no point in saying these things here. After all, the person in charge wasn't here, and he was just a minor distraction. Who would care about what he said?

"Forget it, I don't have the ability right now, and I really can't control it. After I leave this time, I will seal the entrance to the secret realm. If you have the ability to open it, then so be it. However, I still hope that you can respect Senior Chen Ning's good intentions and give those fellow cultivators who have a hard time cultivating a chance."

Liu Mingyue nodded, and Baili Zhuoran of the Divine Dao Sect clasped his hands slightly, saying, "I cannot thank you enough, Fellow Daoist Ye. If you have any requests, Baili Zhuoran will certainly not refuse."

Ye Shubai nodded and smiled, "To be honest, there is something I really need Fellow Daoist Baili's help with."

Baili Zhuoran smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Ye, please speak."

"Could you please introduce me to Senior Fire Dragon of Nine Furnace Peak, Fellow Daoist Baili?"

Baili Zhuoran smiled freely: "If Fellow Daoist Ye had said this half an hour ago, I would not have dared to easily introduce guests to my eccentric Fire Dragon Uncle. Now, of course, I would be extremely happy to do so."

As he spoke, Baili Zhuoran glanced, seemingly casually, at the spatial ring Ye Sisi had just put away the great demon's corpse.

Everyone here is smart, so it's obvious they understand immediately.

Ye Shubai smiled and clasped his hands in thanks. Now that he had the corpse of a great demon and found all sorts of rare and precious materials, it was time to upgrade his natal sword.

It just so happens that the Fire Dragon True Monarch of the Divine Path Sect is the second-ranked weapon refiner in the Spirit Realm, and ordinary people can't expect him to personally take action.

Ye Sisi smiled and whispered to Wuhen, "How is it, Wuhen? Do you feel like you're about to be overwhelmed by happiness?"

Although Wuhen was overjoyed, he didn't say anything, otherwise he was afraid that his unreliable master would say something strange again.

Ye Shubai looked around, and with a slight thought, everyone was sent out of this nameless secret realm.

Before disappearing, everyone clasped their hands in thanks to Ye Shubai. Regardless of Ye Shubai's initial intentions, a life-saving grace was a life-saving grace.

Ye Shubai nodded in acknowledgment. He didn't care much, after all, he had only taken action for himself and his senior brothers, sisters, and junior sisters.

However, he was also very happy that the people he had saved had this sense of gratitude, which was more comforting than saving a bunch of ungrateful wretches.

And just as he said, he sealed the entrance to the secret realm. After that, if they had the ability to open it, so be it. That was the prevailing atmosphere in the cultivation world, and it was not something he could change at will.

If he hadn't been born into the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and if he had grown up in a major sect from the beginning, he might not have been able to achieve this.

After all, the Heavenly Spirit Sect is different from other sects. Rather than a sect, it is more like Meng Tianyuan, a slightly more powerful rogue cultivator, leading a group of less powerful disciples to make a living in the cultivation world.

Of course, this relatively powerful rogue cultivator wasn't always so powerful; he had to fight his way through countless near-death experiences to understand how difficult it was for cultivators outside to survive.

The junior disciples who joined later were a bit better off. By then, the Heavenly Spirit Sect was no longer short of money. When they were young, they would have split a spirit stone in half to spend, so money and opportunities were really important.

Emerging from the secret realm, everyone wore smiles of relief. Not only had they survived, but they had also gained a considerable amount of wealth. Although it was dangerous, it was well worth it.

Baili Zhuoran said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I happen to be returning to the Divine Dao Sect tomorrow. Why don't you all come together? Let me do my part as a host."

This fellow Daoist Baili is indeed very polite, but this politeness is definitely not only due to Ye Shubai's life-saving grace, but also to the huge benefits of the tenth-order great demon's corpse.

For cultivators, every part of a demon beast is a treasure, especially a demon beast that is close to the perfection of the Great Dao.

Not only is flesh and blood a great tonic for cultivators, but long-term consumption of a cultivator's body can be very beneficial, even more so than those rare and precious materials specifically designed to enhance the physical body.

Furthermore, the blood of demonic beasts of this level is a top-tier material for drawing talismans. To put it simply, if a talisman master who can only draw low-grade seventh-rank talismans uses the blood of a tenth-rank great demon to draw a talisman, then the quality of the talisman will at least be top-grade seventh-rank.

As for the bones and scales of demonic beasts, they are excellent materials for refining Qi. Given the current situation between the human and demon races, it is not advisable for cultivators to make the situation too tense, so it is impossible for them to join forces to hunt down powerful demons.

After all, the top combatants on both sides are treasures, and they are all weapons to fight against the demons in the future. Even those weapon refiners who have become obsessed with weapon refining will not provoke either side at this time.

But this great demon, whose species is still unknown, is different. It challenged the secret realm and trapped itself there for ten thousand years. It had nothing to do with the demon-slaying war. Even if it was killed, so what? Besides, it was a life-or-death struggle. If it died, it could only be because it was less skilled.

That's why Baili Zhuoran said those words earlier. Ye Sisi and the others were essentially using the corpse of a tenth-tier great demon as a stepping stone, and no weapon refiner would refuse that.

Since we have this opportunity, let's go to the Divine Path Sect first. After our respective natal swords are upgraded, we can go to the Heavenly Sword Abyss. The gains will be even greater. Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. This saying makes a lot of sense.

Ye Shubai smiled and said to Baili Zhuoran, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Baili Zhuoran shook his head and smiled; he was the one who benefited.

Liu Mingyue opened her mouth, originally intending to invite Ye Sisi and the others to rest in a nearby city, but after thinking about it, she decided against it. Alas, the falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is indifferent, so there's no need to force it.

Finally, Ye Sisi and her three companions, along with Baili Zhuoran and the others, settled in a secluded courtyard—the kind that didn't cost any money, as it was the private property of the Divine Path Sect.

Baili Zhuoran arranged a separate courtyard for the four of them, which Ye Sisi was very satisfied with. It was a good place to deal with some less-than-pleasant private matters behind closed doors.

Ye Sisi sat on the stone bench in the courtyard with a smile, resting her chin on her hands, and said softly, "Take advantage of the opportunity and come out."
