Scheming Xiang used his full strength to quickly distance himself from the lord’s residence. At that moment, he was already near the gate and heard a deafening roar from the lord’s residence. It was that old man who was roaring.

No one would have thought that Scheming Xiang would actually try to snatch it. Even Dou Hai was stunned by this. He cursed silently in his heart because he had already warned Scheming Xiang to keep a low profile and not provoke the Chaos Mountain anymore. But who would have known that Scheming Xiang would take away two Chaos crystals right under his nose.

This was something that Dou Hai had never experienced before. Not to mention someone like Scheming Xiang who was just a weakling, even he wouldn’t dare to do this. But Scheming Xiang actually did it and managed to escape unscathed, leaving Dou Hai in awe of him.

"I’m a real fool. He’s waving such precious items in front of me and deserves it!" Scheming Xiang flew out of Sacred Crystal City, continuing his flight. He didn’t dare to take on human form for fear that the old man would sense his aura.

From what the old man had revealed earlier, there was a division of power in Chaos Mountain. The old man was dissatisfied with the current ruler and wanted to seize power by usurping his position. If he succeeded, he wouldn’t care about the deals between Dou Hai and other rulers, and would eventually come after him too.

Scheming Xiang wasn’t a fool. He had one of the rebels’ sons killed and injured, and didn’t care about old grudges. That’s why he acted quickly and took away the two Chaos crystals.

With this, the old man lost his authority in Chaos Mountain. Seizing power wouldn’t be as easy for him anymore.

In the Poison Sage Demon Woods, Scheming Xiang returned to his human form only here. He felt safe only in this place. The Sacred Crystal summit was over, and he had managed to get what he wanted. He only needed to stay here for a while before returning to Fantian Purple Orchid to buy batches of Tier 2 alchemy pills and return to the Mortal Martial World.

As he didn’t plan to stay in Sacred Crystal Land, he was carefree and felt satisfied. The reputation of him throughout the entire Sacred Crystal World was growing due to his actions.

"The old man’s grip is tight indeed!" Scheming Xiang took out an arm, tearing off the two Chaos crystals from that old man’s bony claws. He chuckled.

He played around with them and burnt the severed arm before saying, "I’m still one Chaos crystal short. It’s probably with the ruler of Chaos Mountain now. I don’t think there’s any way to get it."

Scheming Xiang had alchemy pills, Holy Yang Sacred Water, and Dragon Spheres now. His task was to quickly improve his strength to reach the peak of the Hundred Refinements Realm as soon as possible, preparing him for the upcoming Three Realms War.

Just a few days had passed, and the whole first layer of Sacred Crystal Land was covered with posters of Scheming Xiang. He had also been offered a bounty of billions, and anyone who provided information could receive the reward.

Scheming Xiang was used to such things when he was in the Mortal Martial World, and his name became widespread throughout Sacred Crystal Land’s first layer because of these actions.

"Sacred Crystal Land, the Eighteenth Layer Region. The massive residence of the Dou Family is located at the top of a large mountain, surrounded by dense divine energy. The residence is filled with commotion, as if it were a small city," Scheming Xiang thought.

"Daddy—!" When Dou Yan Yao saw Dou Hai, she immediately ran into his arms like a little girl. She hadn’t seen him for many years and was worried despite knowing that her grandfather was very powerful.

After hearing about Scheming Xiang’s situation, Dou Yan Yao was worried. From what she had seen, Scheming Xiang had completely angered the Chaos Mountain. She had heard many stories about Chaos Mountain since she was young, and facing such a formidable force alone was like hitting a stone with an egg.

"Daddy, can you help him" Dou Yan Yao begged.

Dou Hai caressed her head lovingly, smiling. "Don’t worry about this kid. He’s even more cunning than an old fox—he just offended another faction in the Chaos Mountain, while the current ruler was already dealt with by him."

"Little girl, I met this kid in the Poison Sage Demon Woods. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t know when I would be able to come back," Dou Hai chuckled. "Your Soul Flame has evolved, and the flames have improved significantly. It’s time to reach Nirvana. Your grandfather will support you fully, and you should focus on cultivation!"

Dou Yan Yao nodded. Knowing that Scheming Xiang helped her grandfather come back quickly and realizing how well they were getting along made her feel relieved. Her biggest worry previously was that Dou Hai would oppose their relationship.

"Damn, stuck in a bottleneck" Scheming Xiang frowned as he attempted to refine Taiji Descending Dragon Skill and other divine skills, but couldn’t compress his true energy into a True Essence Particle.

Although he had been infused with大量dragon energy by Dragon Snow Ivy, he couldn’t compress this dragon energy into a True Essence Particle, making it useless.

"Your innate martial soul hasn’t reached its peak. It’s impossible for you to advance further now," Su Mei Yao said. "You need time and effort to improve your innate martial soul first before advancing further."

Scheming Xiang realized that he was trying to advance too quickly and needed to take a break, starting his alchemy practice. He needed to master the Tier 3 upper-grade pills and Nine Aperture Refinement Body Pills that he had refined in the alchemy competition.

In just over a month, Scheming Xiang was familiar with refining Small Transformation Pills, Soul-Strengthening Pills, and Nine Aperture Refinement Body Pills.

He had only refined ten batches of Nine Aperture Refinement Body Pills, with one batch being a failure. Each batch produced three pills, giving him around thirty Nine Aperture Refinement Body Pills now. However, these pills needed a lot of Creation God Essence to reproduce, which was true for Tier 4 and above. Therefore, Scheming Xiang needed to gather more Creation God Essence to create higher-quality ingredients.

Of course, he wouldn’t forget refining Divine Beast Pills for Dragon Snow Ivy and making more Tier 3 lower-grade pills. The refinement of Divine Beast Pills was much easier than Nine Aperture Refinement Body Pills, and he only failed three batches before succeeding.

"One batch of five pills isn’t too bad!" Scheming Xiang smiled. Dragon Snow Ivy started eating the Divine Beast Pills and praised them for their taste, which also rejuvenated her.

"I should go out and have a look!" Scheming Xiang tried again but couldn’t break the bottleneck after trying to think his way out of it. "I’ll just take a walk around," he decided.

Dressed differently, Scheming Xiang left the city of Sacred Crystal City only to find that a new lord had taken over. As there was no one he wanted to see, Scheming Xiang simply shook his head and walked away.

He couldn’t find Fantian Purple Orchid anyway. She had said she would rest after the Sacred Crystal summit ended.

"I’m such an idiot! Why didn’t I ask Fantian Purple Orchid for her contact information back then" Scheming Xiang hit his head. Fantian Purple Orchid wanted to give him her contact information, but after taking away someone’s belongings and disappearing, she couldn’t find Scheming Xiang anymore.

Scheming Xiang walked down the street when he suddenly saw a group of people running wildly across the roads, heading towards the gate. By their attire, he knew they were guards from the lord’s residence.

"Ah, just sealing off cracks from Demon World and now it’s the Beast Realm!" An old man sighed helplessly.eng dropped a drop of blood on the bowl. Then, under Huang Jintian’s control, the drop of blood was merged into the bowl. Huang Jintian also closed his eyes and recited a strange incantation, while th...
