At the bottom of Li Shui Lake.

Carrying the Void Spirit Bottle, Qin Yang made his way back to the Blood Spirit Array.

Not far away stood Liu Wushuang, who had been tasked with waiting there.

He was standing guard respectfully by the array with the Profound Bow on his back. When he saw the Void Spirit Bottle in Qin Yang’s hand, he couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up.

"Young Master, is that the Beast God’s blood?"

"Yes, Beast God Blood."

"You’re incredible! You completely subdued the Beast God. Even in the history of the Venerable Alliance, none of the Human Race’s ancestors could accomplish such a feat. You truly live up to your name, Young Master!"

"It was nothing."

Qin Yang gave a slight nod, quite enjoying the praise. "A mere Beast God. Handling him wasn’t a problem for me."

"Hahaha, it could only be you, Young Master!"

Liu Wushuang couldn’t help but laugh loudly. "I knew it from the first time I met you, Young Master. You’re full of crafty schemes and dirty tricks!"

"Tch, what do you mean, ’dirty tricks’?!"

Hearing this, Qin Yang’s brow furrowed slightly. He was suddenly displeased and shot Liu Wushuang an irritated glare.

"I call it using clever stratagems to benefit the world!"

"This Beast God Blood is like a perpetual motion machine; it would be a waste not to use it! Should I have just let it go to waste inside the Sealing Demon Array?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Wushuang froze for a moment. But his mind raced, and he quickly changed his tune to match Qin Yang’s. "Right, right! The Young Master’s benevolence is unparalleled!"

"Alright, let’s get down to business."

Qin Yang gave a helpless smile, not bothering to argue with Liu Wushuang any further. He opened the Void Spirit Bottle and began to pour its contents into the Blood Spirit Array.

The next moment, the Beast God Blood dispersed, slowly merging into the Array Patterns.

In an instant, a powerful fluctuation spread out.

Li Shui Lake began to boil!

VMMMM!

The Blood Spirit Array suddenly flared to life, erupting in a dazzling crimson light. Magnificent Array Patterns pulsed outward as countless threads of blood extended upward, connecting with the passage Laws of the Upper Realm.

"It’s working!"

Qin Yang followed the scarlet threads with his gaze, looking up at the sky.

Up in the heavens, the ten black holes had expanded slightly.

A dense torrent of Star Force poured out, nourishing the entire world. Within seconds, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the mortal realm rapidly rose by several levels.

"Good, this is enough."

Qin Yang put away the Void Spirit Bottle and stopped pouring out the blood.

The current level was just right.

It had stabilized the Blood Spirit Array while also increasing the Star Force in the Lower Realm.

If he had continued to supply blood, the Blood Spirit Array would have been fully activated, completely opening the gate to the Otherworld.

That was completely unnecessary!

Besides, after this bloodletting, Qin Yang calculated that it would guarantee the Blood Spirit Array’s operation for at least another twenty years.

"Young Master, your control over the scale of this is simply brilliant!"

Liu Wushuang stood beside him, looking up at the black holes with Qin Yang. "A balance has now been formed with the black holes, and the Star Force has also surged. The golden age of our Human Race is about to begin."

...

...

Time flowed by like a river.

After the Blood Spirit Array was stabilized, a sense of peace returned to the entire nation.

However, the operation to hunt down the members of the Beast God Sect had only just begun.

Now that Nangong Li was no longer in charge, the Beast God Sect had long since become a scattered mess. There was no one left within the sect who could manage the situation, and to top it off, the four Great Protectors—including Cyan Dragon and Vermilion Bird—had all been personally slain by Qin Yang.

The time, the place, and the people—all the conditions were perfect.

For the Star Martial Police Bureau, this was the perfect moment to deliver the finishing blow!

During this period, the Commander, in collaboration with Police Chiefs from other cities, launched a massive "Hunting Operation" aimed directly at the remaining remnants of the Beast God Sect!

Overnight, raids were carried out on numerous Beast God Sect hideouts.

A large number of local leaders were captured, and reports of success flooded in over the following days!

The Beast God Sect was on the verge of complete annihilation.

Those local cult leaders who had committed heinous crimes and offered stubborn resistance were killed on the spot by the Commander, sparking nationwide celebration and a chorus of approval online.

[They deserved to die!]

[These Cult bastards should have died long ago!]

[My uncle died in one of the Beast God’s city massacres. He can finally rest in peace today.]

[The Heaven-Blasting Gang is awesome! Thanks to them for taking out the main threat. Who knows how much harder this hunting operation would have been otherwise!]

[I heard the True Dragon Martial God even provided Spiritual Artifact Elixir Pills, so the hunting operation had almost zero casualties!]

[...Sigh, I really want to be a female disciple of the Beast God Sect.]

[The poster above is dreaming!]

After the commotion died down, Jianghai City returned to its usual peace.

「This day, in Fuhai District.」

「Evening.」

In the kitchen, Xiaobai was busy cooking while wearing an apron. The clatter of pots and pans mingled with the rich, mouth-watering aroma of meat.

In the living room, Elder Li and the others had all gathered, standing about.

"Now that everyone is here," Qin Yang said, clearing his throat. He sat on the leather sofa, meeting the gazes of those gathered around him. "let’s begin the meeting."

As his voice fell, Lin Mofeng looked at Qin Yang and asked nervously, "Young Master, why have you gathered us all here this time? Is there a problem with the Beast God’s seal?"

"No, there’s nothing wrong. I see that Jianghai is peaceful now, but we can’t let our guard down."

Qin Yang picked up his teacup, gently blowing away the loose tea leaves on the surface. "The Beast God may be sealed and the sect is more or less destroyed," he said slowly, "but the experts from the Upper Realm are still an unknown variable."

"So, I’ve decided to give you all another boost."

As he said this, Qin Yang touched his Star Ring.

The next moment, a flash of light appeared on the coffee table.

What appeared before their eyes was a dense stack of handwritten manuals, piled so high it was dizzying to look at.

"What are these?"

Elder Li looked puzzled. He picked up one of the secret manuals and flipped through a couple of pages. After just a glance at the contents, his pupils contracted sharply!

Insights!

These were insights into the Sword Dao!

Just from a cursory glance, he had already gained some new understanding.

"These are some of my insights from the Celestial Venerable Realm, as well as some on Arrays, Alchemy... I’ve dabbled a little bit in every field."

Qin Yang casually flipped open a book. "See if there’s anything suitable for you. If you like one, just take it home and study it."

"Young Master, you can’t be serious!"

Liu Wushuang was dumbfounded. He rushed forward and pressed his hand on the books, saying in disbelief, "But these are your insights from the Celestial Venerable Realm! How can you just give them away?"

As soon as he spoke, the entire living room fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling awkward and uneasy, and no one reached for the manuals on the coffee table.

Out in the world, these manuals would be priceless!

They could easily be considered the ultimate treasure of a sect!

’How could we just take them?’

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Qin Yang with expressions of deep admiration.

"Tch. What are you all gaping at? They’re just a few books."

Meeting their gazes, Qin Yang frowned slightly. "Besides, I never said you could have them for free. There are targets to meet once you take them."

"What kind of targets?"

The group asked in confusion.

Seeing their confusion, Qin Yang raised his right index finger, looked at everyone in the room, and smiled.

"Let’s set a small goal first."

"Within twenty years, everyone in my Heaven-Blasting Gang will become a Celestial Venerable expert!!"
