Xiang Shaoyun had decided to bring these people with him as he explored the ancient battlefield. It placed a heavy burden on his shoulders, but he did not regret his choice. He was moved that they were still willing to follow him despite the dangers they might encounter. And thus, the group set off yet again. Xiang Shaoyun wasn't worried about Liu Qingchen's safety at all. He knew very well how strong Liu Qingchen was.

As they traveled, the group led by Xiang Shaoyun encountered one danger after another. These dangers weren't able to pose much threat to them because the aliens they had encountered weren't too strong. Similarly, the remnant souls and the skeleton soldiers were also unable to threaten them.

Oftentimes, Xiang Shaoyun didn't even need to do anything. He had the Overlord Legion and the Sacred Deer Academy members fight, using the battles to temper and train them. After each battle, Xiang Shaoyun would proceed to heal them, allowing them to rapidly recover from their injuries.

In such a manner, Tang Longfei, Xia Liuhui, Liang Zhuangmin, and the others grew at a rapid rate. Additionally, they had also gathered some damaged weapons. These weapons could no longer be used, but the weapons' materials could be reforged into new weapons. Thus, these weapons weren't completely worthless. 

They had even encountered two pseudo-god weapons. These two weapons had been gifted to two of them by Xiang Shaoyun. As for the captured remnant souls, he had also given them away. Naturally, people like Tang Longfei, Xia Liuhui, and Liang Zhuangmin had each received something for their hard work.

While Tang Longfei, Xia Liuhui, and Liang Zhuangmin were absorbing the souls, Xiang Shaoyun had the others stop to rest and reorganize. At the same time, they would also keep watch over the three while they were in meditation.

Xiang Shaoyun was in charge of scanning their surroundings. Nothing in their vicinity could escape his senses. Seated cross-legged atop a boulder, he allowed the chill wind to blow against his body. It was as though he had become one with the world as his astral energy circulated incessantly, flowing through his entire body before returning to his sole star. Within the star, the nine-colored energy seemed to be slowly taking a liquid form.

Such transformation symbolized the appearance of God Realm energy. As a peak Great Saint with a God Realm soul, Xiang Shaoyun had all the requirements to enter the Rebirth Realm. He only lacked a suitable opportunity. 

As the energy within him started liquifying, he grabbed the chance and kneaded his primal inception energy, trying to turn it all into liquid, transforming it into true God Realm energy.

In the space within his head, his god soul was emanating a solemn and dignified divine radiance, forming a sort of resonance with his astral cosmos sea. His entire body glowed with nine colors, giving him an enchanting appearance of a heavenly child.

After an indeterminate amount of time, nine-colored liquid energy took form in Xiang Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea. It hovered in the air, shining brightly as it circulated through his body, giving his body a new round of nourishment. His body was being further perfected by the liquid energy.

After the formation of his first strand of God Realm energy, the second strand was slowly taking form as well. The ambient energy around him converged on his body madly, creating quite a scene. 

Not far away, a group of people sensed the disturbance in the air and hurriedly rushed over. The group was quite powerful, having about 500 members. Some were mounted on demonic beasts while some were walking on thin air, forming a formidable momentum. From the insignia on their chests, they were clearly members of the Celestial Alliance.

The Celestial Alliance had sent a third of their celestial children into the ancient battlefield. However, very few of them would group up. After all, each of them was a proud and arrogant cultivator aiming to be the first celestial child, hoping to become the heir to the alliance.

Thus, the competition between the celestial children was stiff. Not all of them would coexist peacefully. This group of Celestial Alliance members was led by a youth clad in a hemp garment. He had an ordinary appearance and would not stand out in a crowd. However, he was actually the 36th ranked celestial child.

His name was Li An, an extremely ordinary name. His combat strength, however, was extraordinary. He was a fifth-stage pseudo-God, and he wasn't even 100 years old yet. He was even more talented than someone like Liu Qingchen.

By his side were two seventh-stage pseudo-Gods; both were also celestial children. One was Zhuang Yifan, and the other was Lu Shenchuan. They were respectively ranked 49th and 77th among the celestial children. They had higher cultivation levels, but they were ranked below Li An. Thus, one could see that Li An's combat strength couldn't be judged from his cultivation level.

The moment they approached Xiang Shaoyun's group, Devouring Ghost's voice rang out, "Stop. This is our camp. All intruders will be killed."

"How arrogant. You dare speak like that to us of the Celestial Alliance?" questioned someone with a sneer.

"I don't care who you are, but you shall not pass," said Devouring Ghost indifferently as he appeared before them with a flicker.

He knew that Xiang Shaoyun was in the midst of a breakthrough and no interruptions were allowed. Thus, he wouldn't allow anyone to approach the camp, including the Celestial Alliance.

"It has been a long time since someone dared to speak like that to us," said Zhuang Yifan. "Kneel down and apologize, and you might still have a tiny chance at staying alive. Otherwise, you and all the people behind you will suffer."

As far as he was concerned, only the Immortal Road Chamber, the Guardians Guild, and the Guangling Palace could stand toe to toe with them. Everyone else was not worthy.

Devouring Ghost stopped talking. Rather, he prepared for battle and released his aura as a pair of Yin Yang Ghost Claws appeared in his hands. At this time, Yu Caidie, Devil Concubine, and the Four Night Saints rushed over.

"What do you want?" asked Yu Caidie when she saw the powerful group before her.

"They're from the Celestial Alliance. Are they here for the overlord?" asked Devil Concubine in astonishment.

When Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine appeared, the eyeballs of the Celestial Alliance members almost popped out. Beauties like them would naturally attract a lot of attention wherever they were.

Lu Shenchuan gazed at the two attentively and asked, "Are you Yu Caidie and Devil Concubine?"

"They must be. They're Xiang Shaoyun's women," said Zhuang Yifan.

"The overlord is in the midst of cultivation. If possible, please do leave. If a needless conflict arose from this, it wouldn't be worth it," said Yu Caidie courteously.

She knew how strong the Celestial Alliance was. With how many people Li An's group had, it wouldn't be wise for Xiang Shaoyun's group to have a conflict with them for now. Alas, reality would often turn out contrary to what one wished.

"If both of you join the Celestial Alliance, we'll leave. What do you think?" asked Lu Shenchuan with a smile.
