These two were none other than the two other Golden Core cultivators from the Long River Sect.

At this moment, as they looked at the traces that had not yet completely dissipated in front of them, their faces turned extremely grim.

At this time, a middle-aged scholar-dressed man spoke:

"Senior Brother Xu, we just received word from the sect that Junior Brother Wan's Soul Token has shattered.

What do you make of this?"

The one addressed as Senior Brother Xu was an elder with a gaunt face.

This person's magical power aura was formidable.

Judging by his realm, he had already vaguely touched the threshold of the mid-Golden Core stage and was the strongest among the three Golden Core cultivators of their Long River Sect.

At this moment, his eyes flickered with an uncertain light.

Suddenly, he spoke coldly:

"Junior Brother Chen, the other party dared to kill our Long River Sect's Golden Core cultivator, this matter can absolutely not be overlooked.

However, you must know, for him to single-handedly slay Junior Brother Wan and that old ghost You Ying, he must have extraordinary means.

There is no guarantee that he doesn't have some trump card that could threaten the two of us.

If we rashly pursue now, who knows, we might fall into his ambush.

Especially at this critical moment when I am about to break through to the mid-Golden Core stage.

You should know that in my current state, I cannot utilize all of my strength.

If I were to do so, all of my previous accumulations could go to waste.

Therefore.

I plan to avenge Junior Brother Wan after I have completed my closed-door cultivation breakthrough to the mid-Golden Core stage, what do you think, Junior Brother Chen?"

In the end, they were genuinely quite apprehensive about Ji Haoyuan, who had consecutively slain two Golden Core cultivators.

Although Ji Haoyuan had killed their Long River Sect's Golden Core Supreme Elder, filling their hearts with deep anger.

They were desperate to kill him immediately to avenge Wan Changkong.

But the fact was that, as long as they were not completely sure they could deal with Ji Haoyuan, they would not easily take risks.

It was not easy to cultivate from a mere Qi Refining stage all the way to Golden Core.

Even the eldest Senior Brother Xu still had over a hundred years of life left to live.

At this time, asking them to abandon everything, and even disregard their own safety, to pursue revenge for Wan Changkong was absolutely impossible.

But at the same time, to pretend this matter never happened, or to let it slide, was also impossible for them.

Senior Brother Xu continued: "Issue orders for the two of us to require all disciples to strictly monitor the Ji Family and Crimson Sunset Sect individuals.

If any are discovered, immediately kill on the spot.

Do they not want to pass through our area?

Dare to kill our Long River Sect's Golden Core, in the future I will make it known that neither heaven nor earth in this place is open to the Ji Family or Crimson Sunset Sect cultivators!"

...

Some days later.

Several large flying ships finally descended over the sky of Heaven-Piercing Valley.

Ji Haoyuan stood atop the leading flying ship, his Divine Sense covering a hundred miles in an instant, then continued to extend further out.

It could be seen that in nearly two years no one had ventured here, and the demon beasts that he and Master Binghuo had previously cleared were beginning to show signs of reappearing.

Ultimately.

This place was still too close to the demon beast's territory.

However, this also had corresponding advantages.

It meant the resources here, especially as one ventured forward, should be more abundant than those outside.

Similarly.

The level of danger would also be relatively higher.

But for this journey, what I brought were essentially the outstanding members of the clan and various families.

Using them as a foundation to expand across thousands of miles, we should be able to establish a territory befitting a Golden Core family.

Moreover, each demon beast here, as long as it is slain, represents considerable resources.

Hopefully, in the future, I will receive a surprise.

Ji Haoyuan glanced in the direction of the distance, with a subtle hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Currently, he personally arranged for Ji Bochang, Ji Yunshan, Ji Qingfei, and a few close others to have their dwellings.

Then, he delegated various trivial matters to them.

And as for himself, he entered his dwelling at this location and retrieved the storage rings obtained from Master You Ying and Wan Changkong.

Both storage rings were clearly imprinted with the Divine Thought Restrictions of the two.

However, for Ji Haoyuan at this moment, such restrictions were nothing.

In less than half a day's time, he had dispelled the restrictions left on each storage ring by the two.

Instantly, the contents of both storage rings were fully revealed to Ji Haoyuan's eyes.

However, what somewhat disappointed Ji Haoyuan was that there was nothing particularly valuable inside the two storage rings.

A few hundred high-grade Spirit Stones.

Various miscellaneous pills, most of which were of no use to him.

Besides that, there were the two lifebound magical treasures they wielded.

The Shadow Magic Ring and the Heaven-Sundering Blade.

For Ji Haoyuan, these held no significant value either.

The lifebound magical treasures of Golden Core cultivators were mostly connected to the cultivator's heart.

Once the owner perishes, some imprints carried on them would disappear.

This would lead to a decrease in the magical treasure's inherent power.

Moreover, they had been cultivated day and night by their owners, so even if other Golden Core cultivators obtained them, there would be a sense of discord in their use.

Thus, their greatest value might be in using them to create Talisman Treasures.

With this thought, Ji Haoyuan set those two magical treasures aside for the time being.

Then a jade slip appeared in his hand.

This was an item found in Wan Changkong's storage ring.

It contained a Pill Formula called the Primordial Technique Pill.

This was a kind of pill that could help Golden Core initial stage cultivators improve their cultivation.

Its effect was even better than that of the True Technique Pill.

However, gathering the materials to refine this Primordial Technique Pill posed some difficulty.

It required a Spiritual Essence Fruit over five hundred years old, Dry Green Grass six hundred years old, and Star Leaf Flower five hundred years old.

Furthermore, to successfully refine this third-tier pill, I might also need a third-tier Alchemy Furnace.

Looks like, when time allows in the future, I should visit a Golden Core-level trade fair to take a look around.

After all, the resources I currently lack are still quite numerous.

At the very least, I still don't have the Fire Attribute Evil Qi Crystal or the Earth Attribute Evil Qi Crystal needed to refine my lifebound magical treasure.

Additionally, if I want to successfully cultivate the Earth Heaven Thunder of the Earth attribute, the corresponding Earth Thunder Stone is indispensable.

There is also my Star Battle Body.

If I wish to further enhance it, I need to find the subsequent Body Refinement contents and third-tier Star Dust Sand.

Alas, it was fine without counting, but once counted, it seems my current wealth isn't all that substantial.

There are too many things to buy.

And so.

In the following days, Ji Haoyuan continued cultivating while improving the magic he currently mastered to enhance their power even further.

About half a year later.

While in his quiet room within the dwelling, Ji Haoyuan suddenly sensed an unusual movement of Spiritual Qi around the Spiritual Land.

This caused a slight stir in his heart.

He already understood what was happening.
