The harvest from the expedition to Hades' Grotto was immense.

Returning to the Dragon God Palace, Feng Wuchen handed numerous treasures to Nie Hanfeng, to be distributed among the group of powerful practitioners for cultivation.

Then he handed another batch of treasures to Feng Zhengxiong, to be provided to Ling Xiaoxiao and the others for their cultivation.

Feng Wuchen spent another seven days crafting the Reincarnation Burning Heaven Pill.

Being such an extraordinary elixir, even Feng Wuchen failed more than a dozen times during the crafting process.

Yet, the final yield was satisfactory; he exhausted all materials and produced eighty-seven pills, unimaginable wealth indeed.

This batch of Reincarnation Burning Heaven Pills would significantly elevate the strength of the Dragon God Clan.

After sending the pills back to the Dragon God Clan, Feng Wuchen spent the following days cultivating the Divine Art acquired from Hades' Grotto.

The Divine Art was terrifying in power, a formidable means of preserving life.

...

Ximen Family.

"Family Head, how did it go? Any treasures?" In the hall, Ximen Yunchong asked eagerly, his face full of impatience.

"Let's first look at the scroll. It must be a Divine Art!" Ximen Qinshou also appeared excited and impatient.

"If we could obtain a Divine Art, the strength of the Ximen Family would surely grow enormously!" Ximen Xuanzi smiled joyfully and then took out the scroll obtained from Hades' Grotto.

A moment ago, he was smiling, but the next moment, Ximen Xuanzi's face froze.

The word "Immortal Decision," like a devastating blow, struck Ximen Xuanzi's expression.

"Family Head, what's wrong? Is it not a Divine Art?" Noticing Ximen Xuanzi's expression, Ximen Qinshou asked in a low voice.

Ximen Xuanzi took a deep breath and said, "Immortal Decision!"

"What? Immortal Decision?" The group couldn't help but widen their eyes in total disappointment.

"No way! How could it just be an Immortal Decision?" Young Master Ximen Qing was also taken aback, unable to believe that the scroll retrieved from an ancient seal was merely an Immortal Decision.

"Hmph!" Ximen Xuanzi's face turned extremely grim, and he tossed the scroll aside.

If Feng Wuchen and Jueqing were here, they would surely laugh uncontrollably.

Ximen Xuanzi then took out the Storage Ring, his face relaxing slightly.

"Grandfather, the Storage Ring surely won't disappoint us." Ximen Qing said eagerly, full of anticipation.

Ximen Xuanzi nodded slightly.

However, in the next second, Ximen Xuanzi's face turned completely green.

After a brief inspection, Ximen Xuanzi burst into rage, hurling the Storage Ring to the ground and angrily said, "This is outrageous! What a worthless ancient Storage Ring; it's all trash!"

With these words, everyone in the hall, including Ximen Qing, was dumbfounded.

"What? All trash?"

"Family Head, could it be that Wind Shadow swapped it out?"

"How is that possible... when the seal was undone, I immediately collected it, and there was no chance for him. We were all watching it!"

Ximen Qinshou and Ximen Fanjian were stupefied.

"Ximen Qinshou! Speak honestly, did you take it?" Ximen Qing angrily accused, glaring sternly at Ximen Qinshou.

"Young Master, please don't blame me wrongly. I didn't take anything; I followed the Family Head all the way back, without any chance to interfere. My Storage Ring is right here, Family Head can check anytime; I really didn't meddle with the Storage Ring." Ximen Qinshou, frightened, hurriedly produced the Storage Ring to prove his innocence.

"Young Master, it couldn't possibly be Qinshou." Ximen Fanjian interjected.

Ximen Yunchong also defended, "Young Master, there's no way it was Qinshou. I haven't paused since returning from Hades' Grotto, and he had no chance."

"He was the one who took the Storage Ring. If not him, then who? I refuse to believe it; the ancient Store Ring was nothing but trash!" Ximen Qing obviously didn't believe it.

"Either the Storage Ring really contained only trash, or Wind Shadow swapped it!" suggested Ximen Yunchong.

"Young Master, I swear it wasn't me!" Ximen Qinshou was on the verge of tears, as he was wrongly accused of a grave matter.

Ximen Qing fiercely retorted, "Hmph, still dare to argue!"

"Enough!" Ximen Xuanzi commanded emphatically, reflecting on the moment when Feng Wuchen broke the seal, and how Jueqing surprisingly shouted, distracting their attention from the seal for just a moment.

But in a split second, could Feng Wuchen have swapped it? Moreover, the seal wasn't even undone.

"Pff..."

The more Ximen Xuanzi thought, the angrier he became, his inner organs churning violently from rage, ultimately resulting in spitting a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Grandfather!" Ximen Qing and his company exclaimed in shock.

...

Meanwhile.

Having dealt with other trivial matters, Feng Wuchen entered the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower for training.

"Master!" Nie Hanfeng greeted respectfully.

"How are the progressions?" Feng Wuchen inquired.

"Their cultivation is advancing rapidly; even with average talent, under fivefold cultivation time with ample elixirs and treasures, particularly the Mixed Primordial God Stones, their cultivation has reached between the Heavenly Deity Realm and the Heavenly Emperor Realm." Nie Hanfeng respectfully replied, his words laden with excitement.

Feng Wuchen frowned slightly and remarked, "Still too slow, yet with their talent, it's the quickest possible."

"Master, this is slow? Even geniuses don't have such terrifying cultivation speed; at their current rate, it won't be long before they breakthrough to Great Heavenly Emperor." Nie Hanfeng said, utterly confused.

Feng Wuchen smiled without speaking; for others, it was indeed rapid.

But for Feng Wuchen, it felt slow.

"Work hard on your cultivation as well." Feng Wuchen advised briefly and proceeded to the seventh layer space.

"Spent days on various tasks, finally I can cultivate." Feng Wuchen sighed, casually extracting the Otherworldly Calamity Soul Fruit from the Storage Ring.

"Within a month, I should be able to breakthrough the Fourth Heaven Emperor Realm." Feng Wuchen muttered to himself, and then consumed the Otherworldly Calamity Soul Fruit in one go.

A month inside felt merely like seven days outside, passing in the blink of an eye.

"Has Master broken through? To breakthrough in a month, it's frighteningly fast; otherwise, Dragon Venerable's cultivation wouldn't follow suit." In the fourth layer space, Nie Hanfeng's eyes suddenly opened.

"For others, advancing by one level takes at least half a year, for average geniuses two to three years at minimum." Nie Hanfeng was terrified, his heart pounding wildly.

Indeed, Feng Wuchen had already broken through the Fourth Heaven Emperor Realm.

In the seventh layer space, Feng Wuchen took a deep breath, slowly opening his eyes as two piercing energies shot forth.

"Finally broke through, the Otherworldly Calamity Soul Fruit truly deserves its rarity; the energy contained is sufficient for a Great Heavenly Emperor's breakthrough. The expedition to Hades' Grotto garnered plenty of Otherworldly Calamity Soul Fruits, making additional resource gathering unnecessary before reaching Heavenly Sovereign." Feng Wuchen smiled broadly.

"However, the power is still too weak! Forget Heavenly Sovereign, even Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God can't be defeated; no clue when the Divine Domain can be mastered, currently there's no touch whatsoever." Feng Wuchen lamented with a shake of his head.
