Li Qing returned to the Liu Clan. This place was as calm as ever. The news of Tianxia Mountain did not reach this place.

Liu Ke’er did not know what kind of risk Li Qing had gone through, so she was naturally extremely happy to see him return safely. As the saying goes, “Little Bie wins the newlywed, and the two of them become intimate again.”

After accompanying his family for a few days, Li Qing took time out and came to the Jade Spirit Lake to release the Primeval Stone.

With a loud rumble, a stone with a diameter of ten zhang appeared, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

“What is this?” Liu Ke’er walked over and looked at the stone curiously.

“This is a Primeval Stone!” Li Qing’s face revealed a trace of joy. If one were to say that the greatest harvest of this trip would be this Primeval Stone!

“Primeval stones? I’ve never heard of them.” Liu Ke’er was puzzled.

“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it. This Primeval Stone contains a heaven-shaking secret art!”

“What secret art?”

“Primordial Emperor Occult!”

“What? It’s actually Primordial Emperor Occult! No wonder it’s called Yuan Shi!” Liu Ke’er was shocked.

“My Heavenly Yuan Technique was learned in the Eastern Region’s Primeval Stone City back then. There was also a Primeval Stone there! That’s why I was able to recognize it at a glance and didn’t miss it.” Li Qing smiled.

“Then how should I obtain the secret technique inside the Primeval Stone?” Liu Ke’er asked.

“Every January, for an entire month, there will be Grand Dao Laws manifested on the primeval stones. At that time, you can comprehend Primordial Emperor Occult through comprehending the Laws within.” Li Qing said.

“I see. There is still a period of time before January. It seems that we will have to wait until the coming year. Hurry up and put away this stone, so that no one will take it away.”

“Don’t worry, this stone is placed here openly, and no one can take it away. Moreover, this stone is very ordinary, and ordinary people won’t notice its preciousness. It can be considered very safe.”

Back then, the Primeval Stone in Primeval Stone City had been placed there for countless years. No one could shake it at all, and even Void Realm experts might not be able to take it away.

According to Li Qing’s speculation, he would probably have to be at least at the peak of the Void Realm or a Dao Realm expert to be able to do so.

The reason why Li Qing placed this Primeval Stone on the edge of the Jade Spirit Lake was to allow it to absorb the essence of the sun and moon, the good fortune of heaven and earth, and wait for the next round to open.

…

The days had temporarily returned to calm, and a month had passed since the Tianxia Mountain Ruins incident.

Many powers in Cloud Continent had heard about Tianxia Mountain, but none of them caused much fluctuation. At most, they were shocked by the death of the dozens of Void Realm experts.

This kind of thing was too far away from them, and they didn’t have the qualifications to participate.

On this day, Li Qing sat by the lake and suddenly felt that something was moving inside the spatial ring. He took it out, and it was precisely the passage token of the Myriad Devil Palace.

“Li Qing, quickly return to Myriad Devil Palace!” This message came from the token.

“Hmm? You want me to go back to Myriad Devil Palace? It seems like it’s for the ruins of Tianxia Mountain.” Li Qing frowned.

After injecting his True Essence into the token, he quickly activated a powerful force that wrapped around Li Qing and disappeared into the ground.

Under the wrapping of this power, Li Qing walked deeper underground. After an unknown amount of time, an incomparably large palace appeared in front of him. It was the Myriad Devil Palace.

When he landed in front of the Myriad Devil Palace, this power immediately disappeared. Immediately after, the door opened and Li Qing strode into Myriad Devil Palace, arriving in Myriad Devil Hall.

There were quite a few people in the hall. They were basically elders of the Devil Sect, and they seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

There was no one on the Myriad Demon Throne. Yin Tianhong did not appear. Obviously, this matter was not ordered by him, but decided by the elders themselves.

In the Myriad Devil Palace, if there weren’t any important matters, they wouldn’t disturb the cultivation of Demon Lord Yin Tianhong. Basically, the elders would handle it on their behalf.

“May I know why the elders called me back?” Li Qing asked.

“Li Qing, you are in charge of Tianxia Mountain, right?” The Great Elder asked.

“That’s right, so what?”

“I heard that you took the eggs of the Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix. I wonder if this is true?” The Great Elder hurriedly asked.

“Yes, the eggs of the Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix are in my hands now!” Li Qing nodded calmly.

“Haha, that’s great. Being able to seize the Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix from many Righteous path experts and even so many Great Saints of Demon Clan, Li Qing, you’ve greatly increased the face of our Myriad Devil Sect this time.” Great Elder laughed loudly.

“Li Qing, you have made great contributions. You should be rewarded heavily!” Another elder hurriedly echoed.

“Oh? There’s a reward?” Li Qing felt that it was a little strange. Were these old fellows summoning him back in a hurry just for the sake of giving him a reward?

I always feel that they are uneasy and kind-hearted. After all, Li Qing’s relationship with many elders is not that good.

“Of course there are rewards. There are rewards for merits and punishments for wrongs. Our Myriad Devil Sect also has to follow the rules.” An elder said.

“Since that’s the case, then bring the reward. I still have something important to attend to, so I’ll stay for a while.” Li Qing said.

“Look at your anxious appearance. After our discussion, we have decided to reward you with a Myriad Devil Gate.” The Great Elder waved his hand and saw a huge door suddenly appear in the hall, emitting a boundless aura.

“A top-grade spirit artifact-level Myriad Devil Gate!” Li Qing recognized it at a glance, but he wasn’t too shocked.

A treasure like the Gate of Myriad Devil was very special. The final power of the treasure was not determined by the grade of the gate itself, but by the magical creatures inside the gate.

Of course, the grade of the Myriad Devil Gate itself was also very important. Only a higher grade could control stronger magical creatures. Otherwise, these powerful magical creatures would break free and devour their masters.

The Gate of Myriad Devil the Great Elder took out was a top-grade spirit artifact. This meant that the magical creature he could control had reached the peak of the Void Realm.

As long as you can take out the materials to refine peak Void Realm magical creatures, you can control such a terrifying existence.

In the history of the Myriad Devil Sect, many people had refined Gate of Myriad Devil. This Gate of Myriad Devil in front of him should be a treasure left behind by a Diabolism Giant in history after his death. The quality of this treasure would definitely not be inferior.

“What do I need this Gate of Myriad Devil for? It doesn’t seem to be of much use to me.” Li Qing said.

“This Gate of Myriad Devil is ranked high in our Myriad Devil Sect. It can control peak Void Realm magical creatures. Aren’t you satisfied?” Great Elder said.

“It is indeed a very precious treasure, but I would like to ask if there are any demons in this Gate of Myriad Devil?” Li Qing smiled faintly.

There was an awkward expression on everyone’s faces. It seemed that Li Qing wasn’t that stupid. He could tell the problem at a glance.

Although this Gate of Myriad Devil was very high-grade, there were no magical creatures inside. It was empty and there was nothing inside.

If you want to use Gate of Myriad Devil to fight, you have to first refine magical creatures. This is a very energy-consuming matter.

More importantly, if you can’t bring out the corresponding materials, then you won’t be able to refine magical creatures. This Gate of Myriad Devil is nothing but trash. It’s useless at all.

“It’s at least a top-grade spirit artifact. Since it’s a reward for you, you should accept it.” Great Elder said with a calm expression.

“Since that’s the case, then I won’t stand on ceremony.” A strange smile suddenly appeared on Li Qing’s face.

When this strange smile fell into the eyes of others, they were somewhat puzzled.

“Does this brat think that magical creatures are easy to refine? We have lived for hundreds of years and slaughtered countless creatures. Only a few magical creatures at the Void Realm have been refined.”

“When he understands how difficult it is to refine magical creatures, I’m very curious what kind of expression he will have, hehe.” Someone laughed in his heart.

After putting Gate of Myriad Devil away, Li Qing looked around and asked, “Do you have anything else? If not, then I will leave now!”

“Wait, Li Qing! You still have something to hand over.” Great Elder suddenly said.

“Oh? What is it?” Li Qing narrowed his eyes. It seemed that they really had other plans. Now, they were finally going to show their tricks.

“Mission items.”

“What mission item?”

“Li Qing, are you pretending to be stupid? Of course, it’s the egg of the Seven-Colored Phoenix. This is the mission item!” Everyone said.

“Oh, so you guys put in so much effort just for the eggs of the Seven-Colored Phoenix.” Li Qing laughed loudly.

“Gate of Myriad Devil, we’ve already given it to you. Aren’t you going to hand over the mission items?” Great Elder said solemnly.

“Why are you so enthusiastic? You gave me a top-grade Gate of Myriad Devil as a reward. So you used something to placate me in advance and told me to obediently take out the eggs of the Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix.” Li Qing said coldly.

“A top-grade spirit artifact can also make up for your loss. The eggs of the Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix are not yours. It’s better to return them to the Myriad Devil Sect and let us handle them.” Great Elder said slowly.

“This Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix Egg was obtained by me with all my might. Why should I give it to you? Don’t even think about it.” Li Qing shook his head.

“You have to be moderate. Since you are doing a mission for the Devil Sect, then you should hand over the mission items!” Great Elder said.

Li Qing said, “At that time, the mission you set down was to let me enter the ruins to explore the mysteries. However, you did not say that you wanted me to hand over the Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix Egg. This is my extra income, so it is not considered a mission item.”

‘”Hmph, what you obtained during the mission is not considered a mission item. Normally, we don’t need to hand over ordinary items, but the Seven-Colored Immortal Phoenix Egg is so precious that it is absolutely impossible for it to be placed in your hands!”

Li Qing shook his head resolutely. “I’ve never heard of any mission before. You have to hand over the extra items you obtained to the Myriad Devil Sect. May I ask why you have to change this routine when you come to me?”

“The past is the past, and now is the present. You must hand it over. This is an order!” The Great Elder’s expression darkened.

Li Qing looked at them indifferently and said, “Why did you order me?”
