Core area of the Dark Demon Sea.

In another grand palace on the Mainland, an elder with white hair and beard, dressed in a white robe, sat on the throne. Before him were two semi-transparent phantoms, one a graceful woman named Lin Yue, and the other a middle-aged man with pitch-black horns and crimson skin.

The elder with white hair is Aries Venerable, the man with horns and red skin is Chi Huo Venerable, and the graceful Lin Yue is Piaoyun Venerable. These three are also venerables within the Dark Demon Sea.

Though the Realm King ordered no movement between venerables, they gathered through phantom imaging to chat.

"Old Aries, Piaoyun, have you both heard about it?" Chi Huo Venerable spoke brazenly.

Aries said, "Chi Huo, are you talking about Zhenyang being captured?"

"Zhenyang was captured because of corruption? I just came out of seclusion and haven’t heard what happened." Piaoyun Venerable showed a puzzled expression.

Aries shook his head, "Even though we’ve been punished, sent to this remote place as venerables, we all have the potential to reach World Level. Since we help manage the Sun and Moon Divine Tree, we won’t be captured for embezzling a bit of wealth."

"That guy Zhenyang colluded with the Demon Clan, and got caught." Chi Huo sighed.

Piaoyun’s eyes widened in surprise, "Colluding with the Demon Clan? How dare he, that’s a serious crime. Was he sentenced to death?"

"Not quite the death penalty. He hasn’t caused major chaos yet. Besides, Zhenyang has many friends in the Star Sky Alliance, including the Realm King, who has quite a rapport with him. At most, he’ll be punished and sent to the War Star Domain." Aries Venerable stroked his beard and said slowly.

Piaoyun Venerable nodded, "But the selection in the Star Sky Alliance has already started, and now a venerable is missing?"

"Two Realm Kings have already arranged for a new venerable to take office, some character called Lin Tanyu Venerable." Chi Huo said.

"Lin Tanyu Venerable?" Piaoyun Venerable asked, "I haven’t received any notification from the Star Sky Alliance, and it seems I’ve never heard of the name Lin Tanyu Venerable?"

"He wasn’t sent by the Star Sky Alliance. According to my intelligence, he’s also a genius from the Canglan Star Domain selection, from a sect." Chi Huo explained.

"What?"

Piaoyun Venerable was shocked, his expression changed slightly, "A mere genius who came to train in the Dark Demon Sea suddenly takes up a venerable’s position? How reckless of the Realm Kings?"

"Who says so. This new venerable has no background. We have to figure out a way to shake him down." Aries Venerable chuckled.

Of the twelve venerables, Liu Li Venerable ranked last, yet Liu Li is weak, but with a spouse, the two together are rather formidable, and these venerables dare not go after him.

As for the new venerable, only a genius training in the Dark Demon Sea, weak without any backing, who else do we exploit, if not him?

"A venerable commands a Mainland, the wealth extracted is considerable. For us, such wealth may be insignificant, but for a genius newly arrived for training, that’s treasure." Chi Huo’s mouth curled into a smile, his eyes gleaming with greed.

Aries Venerable said, "Indeed, we must shake him down, make him send some treasures over. The rules of the Dark Demon Sea core cannot be forgotten!"

While the three were chatting, suddenly Aries Venerable’s trusted aide entered from outside.

"Greetings, Aries Venerable, Chi Huo Venerable, Piaoyun Venerable." The aide looked around and then knelt with one knee, bowing respectfully.

"Oh, what’s the matter?" Aries Venerable frowned, questioning.

In general, these aides do not recklessly intrude into his palace.

"Aries Venerable, news arrived from our people with Liu Li Venerable." The aide quickly reported.

"What news?" Aries Venerable saw the aide’s anxious face.

The aide took out a Jade Scroll from his pocket, infused True Yuan, and soon a projection appeared in the palace, showing the Liu Li couple along with another young man with black hair and eyes, stepping on a Flying Sword, standing in the Void.

"Liu Li Venerable?"

"Who’s the other one?"

"To the venerable, that’s the newly appointed venerable, Lin Tanyu Venerable." The aide replied.

Then, in the phantom, Lin Tanyu Venerable demonstrated the Three Thousand Light and Shadow Swords, then the Chaotic Demon Extinguishing Palm, and finally, the Xuanyuan Sword shattered Liu Li Venerable’s Thunder Law Seal!

At the end, from Lin Tanyu Venerable’s Space Ring, ten green Light Swords shot out, each carrying an annihilating aura, even in projection, they exuded a pulse that made the three venerables feel uneasy.

"Are these Ultimate Weapons?" Chi Huo Venerable was surprised.

"Yes, they must be Ultimate Weapons; only Ultimate Weapons can show such power."

The three venerables were speechless. None of them could simultaneously handle the Liu Li couple, yet the new venerable was a Seven Seals Netherworld Pattern Master, possessing Ultimate Weapons!

The phantom appeared simultaneously in other venerable’s mansions.

...

After collecting the Sun and Moon Divine Fruits from Liu Li Venerable’s mansion, Lin Mo returned directly to his mansion.

Next is to merge and digest these Sun and Moon Divine Fruits, condensing them into Star Power.

As for the two Realm Kings, Lin Mo knew, these Sun and Moon Divine Fruits are precious, but for the two Realm King brothers, merely a drop in the bucket. These Realm Kings surely wanted to test him, thus instructed those venerables not to let him enter voluntarily.

Time passed day by day, this time it took ten full days to finally refine all the Sun and Moon Divine Fruits.

"Mr. Lin Tanyu." Jiang Rushi approached as Lin Mo exited seclusion.

"Hmm, why are you waiting here specifically for me?" Lin Mo smiled.

Jiang Rushi handed him several Space Rings. Lin Mo curiously took them, then showed a shocked expression when he saw they were filled with numerous treasures and Netherworld Pills, along with a huge amount of soul coins.

"What’s the situation?" Lin Mo was puzzled.

"Sir, during your seclusion, several venerable envoys came, saying since you just took office, they couldn’t visit personally, so they sent lavish gifts. I was unsure what to do, so I collected them for you." Jiang Rushi explained.

"When in Rome, just accept." Lin Mo chuckled, these treasures enough to enhance his strength again.

These venerables are no fools, suddenly sending lavish gifts, likely news of his visit to Liu Li Venerable had spread.

Lin Mo tossed a Space Ring to Jiang Rushi, "This is your reward, cultivate well." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Thank you, sir." Jiang Rushi bowed, said excitedly.

She previously served as City Lord on Tiancheng Continent, yet the wealth accumulated was not as much as the treasures in this one ring.

Lin Mo smiled, "It’s time to visit other venerables!"
