After thoroughly combing through the Underground Palace of the Demon Sect, ensuring nothing was missed, Ning Qi finally stopped with satisfaction.

At this moment, inside the Yu King Pearl, combined with the treasures previously placed by the Grand Elder, the space the size of a pavilion was almost filled.

"The Demon Sect's heritage is indeed rich. If the True Martial Sect can fully digest these foundations, becoming the world's number one martial sect is just a matter of time," Ning Qi mused.

He even discovered several treasures that would aid him personally.

The Blood Demon Flower was just one of them.

It is a treasure that aids the condensation of the Flower of Essence. There are also treasures that benefit the condensation of the Flower of Qi and the Divine Flower, although they are not as exceptional as the Blood Demon Flower. Nevertheless, they can greatly reduce the time for Ning Qi to reach Celestial Being Perfection Realm.

This made him extremely satisfied.

Ning Qi gazed at the ruins of the Underground Palace before him, as his Gang Qi gradually evolved, strands of flames rose and then swept like dragons over everything in front of him.

In an instant.

The ruins of the Underground Palace became a sea of fire.

His pupils reflected everything as he pondered the information about the Martial Saint Realm he learned from the Grand Elder:

"According to the Grand Elder, after the fall of Great Yu, all Martial Saint inheritances were erased. The remnants of Great Yu's Royal Family barely survived to establish the Demon Sect, preserving only two Martial Saint Secret Treasures and one Holy Pill Technique."

"One of the Secret Treasures is the Yu King Pearl, managed by each Grand Elder. The other Secret Treasure and the Holy Pill Technique are held by successive Sect Leaders. To become a Sect Leader of the Demon Sect, one must have the demeanor of a Martial Saint!"

"The Grand Elder said this is because Great Yan wants to reign supreme for millennia, so they erased the Martial Saint inheritance to prevent others from accessing it, while the Demon Sect relies on the Holy Pill Technique to cultivate Martial Saints. Unfortunately, every time a Martial Saint is born, they are eradicated by Great Yan's Martial Saints."

Ning Qi's gaze flickered slightly.

Both Wu Jianghe and the Demon Sect's Grand Elder point their blades towards Great Yan.

He grew increasingly wary of Great Yan in his heart.

"A necessary vigilance is required, and I must refrain from showcasing my understanding before the Great Yan court without absolute power."

"Moreover, the greatest gain is that the Demon Sect has a scarce amount of records and descriptions about the Martial Saint Realm. Once I return, I will thoroughly comprehend it, drawing closer to this realm. The Yu King Pearl has residual Martial Saint power to aid my deduction and comprehension, making it easier for me to create the Martial Saint Technique!"

Ning Qi reviewed all his gains and information, ensuring nothing was missed, and then exhaled lightly.

He meditated in the void.

He then used a Dharma Method to refine the Yu King Pearl once again, controlling it more intuitively before standing upright.

Next.

He planned to lie in wait.

...

Outside the Ten Thousand Flames Cave.

Two powerful elders approached together, dressed in fine attire, their expressions cautious as they surveyed their surroundings.

Among them, the elder with a sinister look transmitted his voice:

"Old Ghost Wang, why do you think the Grand Elder suddenly called us back so urgently? Could it be… the Holy Pill is complete?!"

He speculated, eyes holding a hint of joy.

Old Ghost Wang shook his head:

"Probably not. Previously, the Grand Elder said the Holy Pill would take at least a year or half more. I guess it might be to select a Saint Heir. It's not just the two of us; even Old Ghost Jiang received the summons. I didn't ask about others, but I imagine those similar to us have all been summoned."

The sinister elder nodded slightly:

"Makes sense, well, we're at our doorstep now, we'll know soon."

He strode forward.

Old Ghost Wang couldn't help but curse with a laugh:

"You old thing, arriving at the Earth Cave without a hint of caution, do you think this is a place to take lightly?"

The sinister elder laughed softly:

"At our doorstep, do you think we'd be raided?"

But as soon as the words left his mouth.

Their expressions changed simultaneously, terror filled their pupils, a formidable Sword Intent ascended, Unparalleled Sword Qi passed through, and before they could emit a single scream, darkness swallowed their consciousness. Vaguely, they saw a young Taoist slowly emerging from the abyss.

Ning Qi calmly regarded the corpses of the two Demon Sect Celestial Beings before him.

With a wave of his hand, the bodies instantly turned into a blood mist, then condensed into Blood Pills and were stored within the Yu King Pearl.

"In ten days, plus these two, sixteen have arrived."

"By careful calculation, it seems about right. The remaining are mostly those without the qualification to know about the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Flames Cave. One or two slip through the net aren't worth waiting here any longer."

Ning Qi smiled.

At this point, Demon Sect's high-end combat power was almost completely wiped out by him.

The remaining few Celestial Beings are not intimidating, they can be left to the court to handle. Ning Qi plans to silently send out this intelligence of the branches.

"Considering the face of Fifth Sister-in-Law, Lin Xueshuang also received a choice, presumably she won't involve herself in these matters anymore either. Most of the threat from the Demon Sect is eliminated, the only concern remaining is the whereabouts of the Sect Leader."

"However, there's no need for excessive worry. Without these subordinates to supply Beast Pills, the Holy Pill will certainly be delayed for a long time. My objective is achieved, it's time to return."

Compared to roaming outside, Ning Qi prefers staying inside the Seeking Tao Institute, reading scriptures and comprehending Tao daily.

Once the thought arises, it's hard to stifle.

After finishing everything that needed to be done, he quietly departed.

No one knows; the Demon Sect, entangled with Great Yan for over two thousand years, was silently eradicated by Ning Qi.
