"Thank you, True Monarch!"

Ji Haoyuan hadn't expected that True Monarch Xuanyuan would even arrange such matters for him in advance.

While warmth surged in his heart, he immediately promised True Monarch Xuanyuan:

"This junior will not disappoint you. In the future, if there is anything you need from me, just say the word.

As long as it's something within my ability, I will do my utmost!"

"Hmm, go on then."

True Monarch Xuanyuan nodded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan no longer hesitated.

He reached out to take the jade token, and then his figure flashed, already flying towards the location of Celestial Terrace Peak.

A few days later.

Jade Spring Peak.

This was a Spirit Peak with even denser Spiritual Qi than Celestial Terrace Peak.

Atop the Spirit Peak, in addition to a third-order high-grade Spirit Vein, there was also a high-grade Profound Gold vein.

As the name suggests, high-grade Profound Gold is a precious ore used to forge third-order gold-attributed Magical Treasures.

Each year, this vein can produce about four hundred pounds of high-grade Profound Gold, along with some mid-grade and low-grade Profound Gold.

According to Ji Haoyuan's current status as an Honored Guest Elder in the Demonstration Sect.

He can claim fifty percent of this four hundred pounds of high-grade Profound Gold personally.

The remaining fifty percent must be handed over to the sect.

After all, it's a strategic resource amongst third-order materials, quite precious.

Even the senior elders at the late Golden Core stage of the Demonstration Sect.

Can at most take sixty to seventy percent from it.

The rest still needs to be handed over to the sect.

Moreover, on Jade Spring Peak, there grows a third-order high-grade Spirit Plant.

Called the Jade God Tea Tree.

This tea tree produces a Spiritual Object known as Jade God Spirit Tea.

When Cultivators consume it, it not only strengthens the Divine Thought but also eliminates the Heart Demon.

It allows you to enter a state of being lost in your Daoist Skill during cultivation.

It is an extremely precious type of resource.

However, the production of this kind of Spirit Tea is not high.

At most, only about half a pound of Spirit Tea can be produced each year.

According to regulations, Ji Haoyuan can take thirty percent of it.

The rest, just like that high-grade Profound Gold, has to be handed over to the sect.

Yet even so, Ji Haoyuan feels very satisfied.

After all, it's something for nothing, what more could he ask for?

No need for you to tend to or maintain it.

At most, just perform the sect's allocated tasks at certain times.

It's practically a bargain.

At this moment.

In a cave dwelling on Jade Spring Peak.

In front of Ji Haoyuan, several items were laid out.

Namely, the Thousand-Year Jade Dew, Thunder Morning Star Sand, high-grade Profound Gold, and that Jade God Spirit Tea.

In addition to these, there were other Spiritual Objects and resources for cultivation.

In his heart, Ji Haoyuan roughly planned out what he needed to do during this seclusion.

Afterwards, he summoned the silver Sword Pill.

He began to cast one Spell after another with his hands.

The silver Sword Pill, which was the Primordial Star Sword Pill, seemed to be drawn by some sort of Qi Mechanism.

With a swoosh, it instantly plunged into the pile of high-grade Profound Gold.

Rustling—

In almost no time, a large heap of high-grade Profound Gold was converted into dust under the Primordial Star Sword Pill's absorption.

Clang!

At the same time.

The runes on the surface of the Primordial Star Sword Pill suddenly became increasingly profound.

A sharp aura spread.

All around the Sword Pill, sword mountains suddenly rose from the ground.

Whirling and roaring, they encircled the Primordial Star Sword Pill at the center.

This was a unique phenomenon of the third-order high-grade Magical Treasure Realm.

In this moment, following the Flowing Flame Profound Yellow Spear, Ji Haoyuan finally possessed a second third-order high-grade Magical Treasure.

Buzz!

He raised a finger.

The Primordial Star Sword Pill immediately merged into his fingertip.

A short while later.

Ji Haoyuan slightly adjusted his own Qi Mechanism.

Then, he picked up the jade bottle containing the Thousand-Year Jade Dew and swallowed it directly.

Boom!

At this instant, the originally calm Magical Power within Ji Haoyuan's body surged suddenly.

Waves of powerful Qi Mechanism raged wildly.

One month, two months...

A whole two years later.

"Tweet!"

Suddenly, a resounding phoenix cry came from within Ji Haoyuan's cave.

Then, behind him.

A Fire Phoenix, with wings spanning a hundred zhang, soared into the void.

The sky instantly roared, and endless flames poured down like meteors.

Concurrently.

A gigantic figure, indistinguishable in visage but appearing imperial, clad in a Profound Yellow Emperor Robe, emerged slowly from the endless shadow behind Ji Haoyuan.

With each step, an incomparable and heavy aura spread.

In the formerly void surroundings, slices of land appeared gradually.

In the sky, flashing with boundless thunder and full of destructive aura, mountains emerged from the ground.

No matter how the thunder rampaged and struck, the mountains stood firm, neither moving nor shaking, exuding an ancient and eternal aura.

Suddenly.

The immense figure akin to an emperor, with initially vague features, had eyes shining like stars, piercing through the endless flow of time and space, locking directly with Ji Haoyuan's own gaze.

In this instant, time and space seemed to lose their original concepts.

Ji Haoyuan stood there, waves of realization rushing to his mind.

[You have comprehended the Ancient Emperor Realm, gaining great enlightenment.]

[You have comprehended the Ancient Emperor Realm and understood the Supreme Defense Divine Techniques within the Celestial Emperor's Original Flower Cover.]

Buzz!

Atop Ji Haoyuan's head.

A canopy, resembling a yellow auspicious cloud, suddenly manifested, casting down beams resplendent with emperor's aura, enveloping Ji Haoyuan entirely.

In this moment, Ji Haoyuan only felt himself in an incomparably safe space.

As if all harm and attacks in this world could no longer reach him.

A short while later.

All the phenomena around him dissipated.

Feeling his Magical Power, which had grown over tenfold, Ji Haoyuan couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

The Realm had formed, and his cultivation had finally progressed to the late Golden Core stage.

He felt that with his current level, even if he faced the three late third-order Grand Demons from before, he could effortlessly defeat them.

Especially with his now formed Golden Core Realm.

The Ancient Emperor's Illusion emerging.

Below Nascent Soul True Monarchs, both their physical body and Divine Soul, along with Magical Power, would likely be suppressed by one to two tenths.

In other words, if an opponent at the same level faced him now, he wouldn't even need to act, as the opponent's strength would be reduced by one to two tenths by his Realm alone.

Although this debuff against others had a time limitation.

In battles where outcomes and even life and death could be determined in just several or more breaths, it was already sufficient.

And this still wasn't the limit of his current strength...
