When Xiang Shaoyun's group went outside, they found that nothing unusual had happened. The Tiele Dynasty members had long been dealt with, and this place was quite far from the Tiele Dynasty's main territory. With Scarlet Flame Monarch's seal, the Tiele Dynasty would not be able to easily discover what was happening here.

Xiang Shaoyun went to Scarlet Flame Monarch and roughly told him about what they had found inside. Scarlet Flame Monarch gasped with pleasant surprise as he said, "A dynasty's divine vault? This is perfect for enhancing the Ziling Sect's accumulation."

"Um. I'll let Despair be the one to decide what to do with the treasures. I hope he won't disappoint me," said Xiang Shaoyun.

He then took out some milky way spring water and handed it to Scarlet Flame Monarch, who accepted the water unhesitatingly. The milky way spring water would help him reach an even higher height in his cultivation. One ought to know that upon reaching the Rebirth Realm, even a tiny bit of improvement would take a long period of time. 

Xiang Shaoyun then asked for the Tiele Dynasty's pseudo-God and two Great Saints they had captured, and he put them under his control with the Nether Dragon Soul Curse.

"Scarlet Flame, stay here with them and watch over Despair for a period of time. I'll leave first," said Xiang Shaoyun before leaving alone. He headed toward the Flower Fairies' territory. 

He planned to enter seclusion after paying Lu Xiaoqing a visit. He was going to fully absorb the two strands of God Realm energy in his body and push his cultivation to an even higher level in preparation for the Heaven Battling Ranking Competition that would only be held once every 500 years. In any case, he also needed strength to face the coming chaos. He had a feeling that this would be an era of calamity for humanity. Without sufficient strength, he could die at any time.

He had long surpassed his peers, as just his devil cultivation had reached peak sixth-stage Devil Saint Realm. Before long, he would become a seventh-stage Devil Saint. As for his astral cultivation, he had reached mid fifth-stage Heaven Battling Realm. He had never stopped growing.

His devil cultivation had been growing so rapidly thanks to the steady supply of devil cores he could devour. As for his astral cultivation, its improvement was due to the two strands of God Realm energy and his Primal Inception Physique, which allowed him to absorb the ambient energy around him without rest. His cultivation speed was far beyond what an ordinary person was capable of.

His god body was only at the level of a fifth-stage pseudo-God, but it was most definitely far stronger than an ordinary god body. His god soul was even more impressive. By the time he became a Great Saint, he would definitely be strong enough to slay Gods without even using his clone.

That might sound impressive, but time would not wait for anyone. The alien invaders and the devils would throw the dominion into chaos, and the Ziling Sect would not be able to escape the coming chaos either. To survive, they needed strength. 

Traveling at his top speed, Xiang Shaoyun did not take long to arrive at a certain jungle. There, he found the flower fairies' territory. Suddenly, he sensed some powerful energy undulations. As a response, he activated his divine dao eyes and gazed ahead of him.

He saw that a large number of ironwings had arrived before the flower fairies' territory and were battling against a group of flower fairies. The main combatants were Emperors and Sovereigns. It was unknown why they were fighting, but it was clear that the flower fairies were in trouble.

"After searching for the flower fairies for so many years, we finally found them! Hehehe!" said an ironwing. He was obviously their leader, a pseudo-Saint cultivator. His pair of iron wings looked incredibly thick and tough. A casual flap of the wing could probably reduce a mountain into fine powder.

"Every single flower fairy is exceptionally beautiful. If we can capture them all, they will make for very profitable slaves," said the ironwing beside the first ironwing.

The second ironwing was also a pseudo-Saint. The two weren't the strongest in the group, as there were three Saints among them. One was an ironwing, while the other two were humans. The two humans were respectively fifth-stage and seventh-stage Saints. Together, they sealed their surroundings, making sure that no flower fairy could escape. At this time, an elder flew out from the flower fairies' place. 

"Ironwings, why are you intruding upon our race's place?" asked the flower fairy furiously.

The flower fairy was a third-stage Saint and was so old she looked senile. Even so, her aura radiated an impressive strength. Beside her were two other flower fairies. One was the flower fairies' patriarch, a first-stage Saint, while the other was a flower fairy with a green radiance around her body. She was none other than Lu Xiaoqing.

Surprisingly, Lu Xiaoqing's cultivation had even surpassed the patriarch, reaching second-stage Saint Realm. An elegant fragrance spread from her while the projection of a green lotus and a moon appeared behind her, making her look incredibly charming. 

The fifth-stage Heaven Battling Realm human had the appearance of a young man. He immediately gazed at Lu Xiaoqing's body with a look of lust.

"Tang Suchuan, it's you?" Lu Xiaoqing's gritted her teeth in anger when her gaze landed on the young-looking human.

"Like I said. If you don't agree to follow me, I'll flatten the flower fairies. It will be too late for you to change your mind now," said Tang Suchuan with a sneer.

"I had thought that you were a kind man. Looks like I have been completely mistaken about you. I'll make you pay for this with your life!" said Lu Xiaoqing with a sharp gaze as she attacked.

She hovered, and a green lotus drifted forward. As the lotus bloomed, a powerful force at the level of a third- or fourth-stage Saint erupted.

"You're quite strong, but it's a pity that you're no longer my match," said Tang Suchuan as he formed a flaming fist and threw it out.

Boom!

The overbearing fist blasted through Lu Xiaoqing's energy. Just as the fist was about to reach Lu Xiaoqing's body, a moon manifested before her and blocked the fist.

Green Lotus Moon's Descent!

When Lu Xiaoqing unleashed all her strength, she seemed to have transformed into a lotus immortal that had descended from the heavens. The power of the moon poured down from the sky and fused with the green lotus, unleashing a power beyond the level of fifth-stage Heaven Battling Realm. That was Lu Xiaoqing's true strength.

The flower fairy elder and patriarch looked pleased with her performance. They praised, "Truly worthy of being the flower fairy with the strongest physique."

When Tang Suhuan sensed how powerful the incoming attack was, he unleashed all his strength. Even so, he was sent flying while coughing blood. At this time, the seventh-stage Heaven Battling Realm human moved and erased Lu Xiaoqing's energy before easily causing Lu Xiaoqing to cough up blood. The disparity between the two was too big.

Just as the Saint was about to capture Lu Xiaoqing, a figure appeared before Lu Xiaoqing with a flicker and said, "Apologies, I'm late."
