"Brother, don't be so tense. What do you take me, Jiuxiao Yun, for? After all, you helped me just now. How could I, Jiuxiao Yun, be someone who repays kindness with enmity? Besides, given your current state..." Jiuxiao Yun paused, as if pondering something.

In the next instant, the Demon Shark suddenly vanished and reappeared beside the demon spirit's corpse, emerging from the underground, opening its mouth to bite the thing that was about to solidify.

He calculated the time just right, ensuring the Demon Shark would swallow the thing at the exact moment it solidified.

"If I really wanted to take it, how could you possibly stop me? I can desire it if I wish, but I..." Jiuxiao Yun hadn't finished his sentence when he suddenly saw a flash of white light. The Demon Shark, about to swallow the thing, was directly knocked away by the white light.

The white light returned to Li Xiu's hand as he reached out and gripped a skill ring that had solidified, looking at Jiuxiao Yun and asking, "But what were you saying?"

"Cough, cough, it's nothing. It's getting late, farewell." Jiuxiao Yun, in frustration, mounted the Demon Shark and dove underground, disappearing from sight.

Li Xiu, watching Jiuxiao Yun vanish, immediately used the skill ring in his hand.

The skill ring transformed into a brand marking on Li Xiu's finger, then slowly disappeared, and several pieces of information appeared in Li Xiu's mind.

Bottle Suction: Super Spirit Skill, absorbs light energy and converts it for personal use.

"It's actually this skill!" Li Xiu was both surprised and delighted, having been astonished by this skill earlier, and it unexpectedly emerged.

Li Xiu attempted to use the Super Spirit Technique Bottle Suction, and a circular ring of light energy instantly appeared in his palm. To call it a ring wasn't entirely accurate; it more closely resembled a suction cup, circular on its exterior and increasingly concave inside.

Li Xiu found that this skill couldn't be used remotely; it had to be in contact with the light energy to absorb it.

After using it just once, Li Xiu immediately felt that his internal light energy was about to be drained dry and hurriedly ceased the skill. These Super Spirit Skills required a substantial consumption of light energy, and currently, Li Xiu's light energy couldn't sustain it for long.

However, the light energy consumption of Bottle Suction was significantly lower than that of the Four Sacred Eyes, allowing Li Xiu to sustain a bit longer without immediately draining his internal light energy upon use.

"If I can absorb enough light energy with Bottle Suction, could I maintain a cycle of absorption and usage? Or use the absorbed light energy with the Four Sacred Eyes..." Li Xiu contemplated the feasibility of this concept.

Although possessing a Super Spirit Skill, Li Xiu had hardly used it, as light energy consumption was a major issue; perhaps Bottle Suction could resolve this problem.

"If the skill Bottle Suction could be applied to Demon Armor, maybe I could refine the Hand of God. Then there's no need to fling out the controlled Demonic Light; it could just be absorbed and digested... Conversely as well... I'm now a Trial Taker, possessing light energy. If I apply the Hand of God through the body and combine it with Bottle Suction..." Li Xiu continued to brainstorm. This Bottle Suction skill revealed many possibilities to him.

For Li Xiu, the practicality of this skill far exceeded that of the Four Sacred Eyes.

Together with Sha Chu, they hit the road once more, hunting for demon spirits. Any quality demon core was fed to the Jedi Knight, whose Super Spirit Limit increased by a few percentage points. By the time Li Xiu and Sha Chu left the Land of Beasts, the Jedi Knight's Super Spirit Limit had reached six percent.

This was despite Li Xiu's urgency to return, not solely focused on hunting demon spirits.

Once outside, Li Xiu handed over all other trophies to Sha Chu for her to exchange for needed supplies.

Aside from Sha Chu and Li Xiu, each keeping a Pegasus Demon Spirit, they swapped all acquired talent gemstones, skill rings, and demon spirit rings for supplies.

Riding the Pegasus Beast back to Longevity City, they no longer needed to climb mountains or wear Demon Armor.

Li Xiu rushed back because it was nearing the time to divine celestial secrets, wanting to see what Longevity Heaven's divining celestial secrets looked like.

Previously, when at Longevity Hall, a voice from inside the furnace had informed him about divining celestial secrets, and Li Xiu was quite intrigued.

According to the voice from the furnace, every sixty years, Longevity Heaven divines celestial secrets, adjusting policies based on the findings.

Although the sixty-year term had passed, the person responsible for divining celestial secrets encountered issues, and no suitable replacement could be found, causing a delay of several years.

Li Xiu is also somewhat of a beneficiary of this delay. Had things been normal, this cyclical divining celestial secrets would determine whether to push the Trial Takers onto the world stage.

However, since divining celestial secrets didn't occur on time, when Li Xiu held the demon spirit competition, there were supporters and opponents.

If the celestial secrets were set, Li Xiu wouldn't be organizing the demon spirit competition, or he might have been secretly eliminated by Longevity Heaven while preparing for it.

The decision to push Trial Takers onto the world stage was already made, so the contents of this divining celestial secrets will change, but what will be measured is still unknown, to be decided by the president.

Previously, such events were announced in advance, but due to the special circumstances this time, no one knows yet what the divining of celestial secrets will entail.
