After a while, he discovered there were no issues with those Soul Fires.

"I can finally devour them now!"

Duan Gujin hurriedly formed a sealing and cast a spell; after a moment, a sealing rune appeared in his palm.

This was a rune specifically for sealing Soul Fires!

Duan Gujin eyed a cluster of Soul Fire, concentrated his thoughts, and reached out his palm towards the Soul Fire.

In an instant, Duan Gujin grabbed the Soul Fire, rendering it unable to escape.

With another concentrated thought, he quickly executed the Devouring Technique, refining and absorbing the energy within the Soul Fire.

Time ticked away, and after 15 minutes, he had completely devoured the Soul Fire.

"Ha ha, this is a true Soul Fire, and it's extremely beneficial for the enhancement of my Soul Power!"

Duan Gujin was overjoyed in his heart. Letting out a breath, he felt invigorated, and every pore on his body felt extremely comfortable.

"There's no time to waste!"

With a concentrated thought, Duan Gujin continued to form seals, sealing the remaining Soul Fires.

15 minutes passed, and he had ultimately devoured all the remaining Soul Fires.

"My Soul Power has improved quite a bit; it's indeed a joyous occasion!"

Duan Gujin took a look around, making sure there were no other items within the Crystal Stele, then he flew up to the Sealing Tower.

Afterward, he returned outside the cave and allowed Zhang Di and the others to enter.

Zhang Di and the others came to the edge of the Sealing Tower in high spirits. After inspecting the surroundings, they were sure that the place they had come to was indeed a Sealing Array.

"The General Xinghai who was sealed underneath has been eliminated by me! Everyone can go down now!"

Duan Gujin said.

"All right!"

Zhang Di looked excited; in his heart, eliminating the Otherworldly Demon sealed here was the most important matter, and whether there were any Treasures present was not his concern.

Besides, he didn't think that there could be any treasures within a Sealing Array.

If there were any treasures on that sealed General Xinghai, they would have been taken by the one who sealed him a long time ago.

Moreover, even if there really were any treasures, they wouldn't be of much use now.

Zhang Di's eyes flickered; he understood in his heart that Duan Gujin probably picked up some treasures from inside the Sealing Array, but he didn't tell him.

"Our top priority is to eliminate the Demon sealed here. If there really are any treasures, even if he gets them, it's what he deserves!"

So, Zhang Di led several elders and flew down.

They quickly searched below and only saw a huge Crystal Stele with a large hole in it.

They deduced that the Crystal Stele must have been broken open by Duan Gujin.

They also discovered some Fire Attribute Power around the Crystal Stele and immediately thought that Duan Gujin must have arranged Fire Attribute Crystal Stones around the Stele previously.

They went inside the Crystal Stele, checked the interior, and found some gravel, which they deduced must have been recently burned.

"From all the signs, I deduce there must have been a minor battle here before, and that Duan Gujin eliminated the Demon inside!"

Zhang Di said to the other elders.

"Yes!"

The other elders present pondered for a while and nodded in agreement.

"Everyone agrees there are no issues here, right?"

Zhang Di asked.

"No, Elder Zhang, why don't we take this stele back with us for research?"

One of the elders asked.

"Alright!"

Zhang Di immediately agreed.

So, the elder reached for a storage ring, as big as the palm of a hand, and tried to put the crystal stele inside.

However, after a while, the entire underground began to vibrate violently.

"Everyone get out, this place might collapse!"

Duan Gujin had no idea that the elders below had thought about taking the crystal stele away.

If he had been with those elders, he would have definitely stopped them.

"You guys go first! The elders below, come out quickly, this place is going to collapse!"

Duan Gujin did not want anything to happen to Zhang Di and the others, he hurriedly shouted to get the attention of the people below.

The people below, including Zhang Di, felt the intense vibration from the ground and knew that the cave might collapse soon. The first thought that crossed their minds was to leave immediately; they did not want to be buried alive here.

The elder still wanted to take the crystal stele with him, but he tragically discovered that he was unable to fit the crystal stele into his storage ring.

"What should we do now? This is bad!"

The elder was internally wailing, but sensing the vibrations around him intensifying, he did not dare to linger and thus abandoned the idea of taking the crystal stele.

He activated his Primordial Power and cast a Flying Technique.

In just a moment, they flew up to the Sealing Tower.

"Hurry up!"

Seeing that they all flew up, Duan Gujin's figure flashed, and he rushed rapidly towards the outside of the cave.

Zhang Di and the others did not dare to hesitate and, flashing their bodies, turned into a streak of lightning, swiftly following Duan Gujin outside.

After they all rushed out, the cave collapsed completely.

Seeing the sudden collapse of the cave, Duan Gujin's brows slightly furrowed.

He quickly asked Zhang Di what they had done underground; he wanted to know the reason.

When he heard from Zhang Di that one of the elders had tried to take the crystal stele away, a vein popped on his forehead.

He sighed and said, "You shouldn't have thought about taking that crystal stele. It's the center of the Sealing Array here. I just placed the Fire Attribute Crystal Stones that I got from you around the crystal stele, then used fire to burn the Residual Soul of General Xinghai inside. Once the Sealing Array inside senses that someone wants to damage the crystal stele, the array will activate automatically, causing this cave to collapse!"

Knowing the truth, the elder who had previously wanted to take the crystal stele turned ashen-faced, looking as unpleasant as a liver.

"Now that everyone is safe, that's all that matters. After all, we have completely vanquished General Xinghai, it's good that everyone is safe!"

Zhang Di's eyes flickered as he said.

He said this only to prevent everyone from pushing the blame onto that elder.

Indeed, he had previously agreed to the elder's suggestion.

"Right! Right! Everyone being safe is what matters!"

Duan Gujin also did not want to delve deeper into it; he knew that there really were no treasures in the caverns below the Sealing Tower.

"Look, that light pillar is still there!"

Duan Gujin looked up at the sky only to see a beam of light still shooting up.

Everyone's attention immediately focused on that light pillar, all eager to find out what treasure was emitting it.

"Why would there be such a light pillar appearing out of nowhere here?"

Duan Gujin felt that the light pillar might have a very special meaning.
