"You'll know soon."

Shen Wang said meaningfully.

The more he spoke this way, the more uneasy Yun Lingshu became.

She couldn't think of what trump card Shen Wang might have.

"Don't be afraid, I wouldn't really say that to mess you up."

Seeing Yun Lingshu's nervous look, Shen Wang couldn't help but tease, "I, Shen Wang, wouldn't stoop so low."

Yun Lingshu was skeptical, "I think you're shameless, otherwise how could you use this to threaten me?"

She felt Shen Wang was trying to make her help, but unfortunately, the matter had already reached the elders, and despite some strength, this person couldn't stir any waves.

Shen Wang didn't say more and looked toward the direction they were heading: "Are you taking me to the main vein?"

"The elders value you greatly. If you cooperate and help us research demons, there's hope for your return to the sect and rewards."

Yun Lingshu started diplomatically, seeing Shen Wang still unresponsive, she said bluntly, "But if you have any ill intentions, not just me, no one else will let you act recklessly."

"Let's go, meet the sect's high-ranking members who couldn't be seen before."

Shen Wang said blandly.

Yun Lingshu gritted her teeth, feeling something was amiss but couldn't figure out how this person could play tricks with so many powerful figures around the sect?

The two flew for over ten miles, crossing several mountain peaks before arriving at the main vein.

This was a majestic mountain range, without obvious attribute features, lush with greenery, breezy and serene, with a huge White Jade Plaza below, and stairs leading upwards on each side, reaching the cloud peak.

It was Shen Wang's second visit here; the last time was when he became a disciple of the Celestial Travel Sect, still able to faintly recall his inexperienced, uneasy self.

Shen Wang smiled, reminiscing those days, coming from a small family to a major sect, much had changed.

They didn't take the stairs, flying toward the mountain, with many thoughts probing them, much more defensive than the branch veins, with more powerful cultivators stationed.

As they ascended, clouds appeared, under the sunlight a rainbow was visible, a Ling Mountain Blessed Land.

Shen Wang quietly observed every plant on the way, and after passing through the clouds, it suddenly opened up, the long sky above was clear, a turbulent sea of clouds below, the view broadened.

Across the cloud sea, the main vein rose several hundred feet, with few plants, several large palaces scattered among, at the highest and central the Celestial Hall, built with white jade, with azure tiles and red ridge, exuding a magnificent, ethereal aura.

Upon seeing this palace, Shen Wang felt a strong sense of oppression, there were no less than five Nascent Soul Level individuals on this mountain peak.

Here the sounds of rich wind and thunder could be heard, the array power reached its peak, with high-altitude wind and thunder power gathered, even a Nascent Soul might not leave alive.

Yun Lingshu glanced at Shen Wang, leading him to land in front of the Celestial Hall, beneath them the jade was clean and mirror-like, reflecting the azure sky.

Shen Wang glanced at Yun Lingshu's legs, her skirt filled with clouds reflected on the jade.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, Yun Lingshu whispered, "Can you stop being so shameless?"

"I'm just checking if there's any exposure, why are you so sensitive, being a cultivator, does it matter?"

Shen Wang retorted.

"Not caring, but you still look?" Yun Lingshu's face darkened.

"Looking for fun."

Shen Wang stepped past Yun Lingshu, walking forward neither hurriedly nor leisurely.

As they approached, the wind and thunder sounds suddenly intensified, crackling accompanied by flashes of lightning.

A gust of wind blasted instantly, then Shen Wang noticed a new shadow on the palace beside him.

Upon closer inspection, it was a black eagle, its beak silver, claws dark cyan, eyes like electricity, giving off a sense of danger.

"Such speed, changing almost instantly, not simple."

Shen Wang thought.

Yun Lingshu, however, paid respect, "Greetings, senior."

The creature glanced at Yun Lingshu and Shen Wang, then closed its eyes as if resting.

"Why are you looking; aren't you going to pay respect? This is the Mountain Guardian Spirit Eagle, at no lower status than any Supreme Elder."

Yun Lingshu was very displeased with Shen Wang, taking the chance to chide.

"It's sleeping, don't you know to be quieter?"

Shen Wang replied and did not pay respect, walking briskly toward the door.

"Ling Shu, is he from the Shen Family?"

Just as Yun Lingshu prepared to retort, Cyan Leaf emerged from the hall, surprised to see Shen Wang, "Didn't expect after centuries someone from the Shen Family could reach Core Formation, truly rare."

"Rivers East for thirty years, Rivers West for thirty years, ups and downs come around."

Shen Wang calmly said, "How should I address you, senior?"

"Cyan Leaf, you may call me Uncle."

Cyan Leaf looked Shen Wang up and down, thoughtfully, "There's a scent of Longevity Blood, you indeed awakened your Bloodline Power."

Shen Wang originally anticipated they might immediately engage, but hearing this he was surprised, "Uncle Cyan Leaf, sharp-eyed."

"Not much, I'm acquainted with your ancestor, naturally know a bit."

Cyan Leaf shook his head, "Come in, the Sect Leader is waiting for you."

Shen Wang showed no fear, walking boldly inside, a fluctuation in the surrounding space as he entered the palace, which surprised him.

This area's array unexpectedly sealed the space, making exit seem difficult.

He still wasn't afraid, the scene in front twisted, emerging in a spacious hall, with incense burners purple smoke swirling on both sides, with a faint scent, calming and soothing.

On either side of the incense burners, there were four seats, behind them inscribed with words like Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen corresponding to the Eight Trigrams, with a solitary seat above labeled with the word Heavens.

At this moment among the Eight Trigram seats, aside from the Xun and Kun character seats respectively occupied by a man in green and a man in yellow, all others were empty, only the Heavens seat had a silver-haired man with a Jade Crown and wearing a moonlight robe.

This person appeared middle-aged, with an extraordinary aura, a rosy face, showing no signs of aging, yet had eyes full of the vicissitudes of life, indicating his age was not young.

Cyan Leaf cupped his fists towards him, then took a seat at the Qian position.

"Greetings Sect Leader, Master, and two Uncles."

Yun Lingshu hurriedly paid respectful salutes.

"Sect Leader."

Shen Wang followed with a salute, though not very respectfully, ignoring the others.

"Ling Shu, your meticulous observation timely pinpointed a critical individual, well done."

The Sect Leader smiled warmly.

"It's a disciple's duty."

Yun Lingshu happily replied.

"We'll discuss merits later, are you Shen Wang?"

The Sect Leader looked at Shen Wang, gaze seemingly penetrating him.

"Shen Wang, descendant of the Shen Family, also master of Mr. and Mrs. Liu Shan."

Shen Wang nodded, introducing both his family and connections to Mr. and Mrs. Liu Shan, "I suggest you cease using demonic energy, this act has immense future troubles."

"Boy, are you telling us what to do?"

Yun Lingshu's Master Qing Feng spoke coldly.

Shen Wang glanced at this man, "You could think so."

Qing Feng stood up abruptly, face dark, "Boy, don't think having reached Core Formation is enough to provoke me."
