Seeing others leave, Duan Gujin approached the True Body of Jialuo Demon King. He widened his eyes and searched carefully, wanting to see if he could find any valuable treasures on the body of Jialuo Demon King.
After the intense battle, the True Body of the Jialuo Demon King had been blasted into countless pieces.
Duan Gujin noticed that the True Body of Jialuo Demon King was as hard as granite, and he directed his Divine Sense to penetrate each fragnt.
After a while, he detected a faint energy fluctuation in one of the fragnts.
He hurriedly broke open that fragnt, eager to find out what was inside.
When he split the fragnt open, he discovered a spherical bead the size of an adult man's fist inside.
He was startled, and the spherical bead reminded him of the Netherworld Treasure Pearl.
He quickly removed the debris from the surface of the bead, revealing a completely black, ink-like spherical pearl.
"Netherworld Treasure Pearl?"
Duan Gujin found that the shape of the spherical bead was remarkably similar to the Netherworld Treasure Pearl, and he directed his Divine Sense inside, thoroughly inspecting it.
"Heavenly! This is really the Netherworld Treasure Pearl!"
After a while, Duan Gujin confird that the spherical bead in his hand was indeed the Netherworld Treasure Pearl.
"It seems very likely that this Netherworld Treasure Pearl was cultivated by the Jialuo Demon King himself!"
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, knowing that with the Netherworld Treasure Pearl in his possession, he wouldn't need to wait another year or more.
He tried to calm himself down and sent his Divine Sense into the pearl again.
After confirming repeatedly, he was certain that the spherical bead in his hand was the Netherworld Treasure Pearl.
"This ti, heaven has truly aided !"
Duan Gujin quickly stored the Netherworld Treasure Pearl in his storage ring and continued searching for other valuable items in the fragnts of Jialuo Demon King's True Body.
However, after searching all the fragnts, he did not find any other treasures.
"It seems that the greatest gain this ti is the Netherworld Treasure Pearl!"
Duan Gujin rejoiced in his heart and then proceeded to burn all the remaining body fragnts of the Jialuo Demon King with kerosene.
After completing all this, he returned to the previously agreed eting place to wait for Lie Lei and others.
Fifteen minutes later, six elders returned without any success; they had not found any valuable clues nearby.
Then, in less than 15 minutes, Lie Lei and the other elders gradually returned to the eting place, also without success; they too had not found any valuable clues.
Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brows, suspecting strongly that the figure they had seen might be a high-ranking mber of the Netherworld Sect, who had made so deal with the Jialuo Demon King and even offered his disciples to the Jialuo Demon King as 'food' to devour.
Duan Gujin felt that the figure couldn't have escaped the Divine Sense Inspection of Jialuo Demon King, and must have previously made so deal with him.
Once the Jialuo Demon King was eliminated by them, seeing the situation turn dire, that figure had fled.
"Since we didn't find any valuable clues here, let's return now!"
Finally, Lie Lei suggested.
"Alright!"
Duan Gujin and the others agreed to Lie Lei's suggestion and imdiately rushed back to the Green Cloud Sect.
Upon returning to the Green Cloud Sect, Lie Lei reported everything that had transpired at the ruins to Zhu Ge Hongyun.
Zhu Ge Hongyun had not personally experienced the battle and could only know from Lie Lei's report how crucially important Duan Gujin's role was in the victory of this battle.
"If it weren't for Duan Gujin finding that the giant rock was just a decoy and also discovering the True Body of Jialuo Demon King, you would have been in big trouble!"
Zhu Ge Hongyun remarked.
"Yes, if Duan Gujin hadn't taken action this ti, we wouldn't know how many people would have died!"
Reflecting on this encounter in the ruins of the Netherworld Dark Clan, Lie Lei felt a lingering fear.
They knew nothing about the Netherworld Dark Clan. He could imagine that if Duan Gujin had not been there to guide them, they might have faced total annihilation.
Back at the Green Cloud Sect, Duan Gujin vividly recalled the mories from his past life, feeling that he had not yet averted the catastrophe threatening to destroy the sect.
"Perhaps in my previous life, the Jialuo Demon King was just a minor episode, I must not be careless!"
Duan Gujin was acutely aware that saving the Green Cloud Sect would not be an easy task.
"Fortunately, I finally obtained the Netherworld Treasure Pearl!"
Duan Gujin quickly channeled his Primordial Power into the Netherworld Treasure Pearl, spending two hours to finally expel the impurities within.
After analyzing, he determined that the Netherworld Treasure Pearl he obtained this ti was even more precious than the one in his previous life.
"Now I can finally use the Netherworld Treasure Pearl to quickly enhance my cultivation!"
In his previous life, the Netherworld Treasure Pearl Duan Gujin obtained had no impurities and was originally prepared for the Netherworld Dark Clan mbers who later entered the Qiankun Continent.
Although the Netherworld Dark Clan did not need the Netherworld Treasure Pearl to aid their cultivation, possessing a Demon King's Netherworld Treasure Pearl would speed up their cultivation.
By a twist of fate, Duan Gujin obtained both the Netherworld Treasure Pearl and the Netherworld Treasure Book, and then he cultivated the Netherworld Treasure Book using the Netherworld Treasure Pearl.
Originally, after his rebirth, he could cultivate the Netherworld Treasure Book, but at that ti he did not possess the Netherworld Treasure Pearl. Now that he finally obtained it, he knew he could cultivate the Netherworld Treasure Book.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath and started cultivating according to the thods recorded in the Netherworld Treasure Book.
Monts later, he found that the speed of his Primordial Power circulation was nearly three tis faster than before.
He was ecstatic, knowing this was the miraculous benefit of using the Netherworld Treasure Pearl to cultivate the Netherworld Treasure Book.
With the help of the Netherworld Treasure Pearl, not only would his cultivation speed triple, but the recovery speed of his Primordial Power would also increase threefold.
Netherworld Treasure Pearls co in many types, the most valuable being those inside a Demon King.
Those within a Demon King are considered Heavenly-level Treasure Pearls.
Heavenly-level Netherworld Treasure Pearls are highly coveted treasures in other continents.
Although ordinary Martial Artists might not use Netherworld Treasure Pearls for cultivation, they are a very important Artifact Refining Material, capable of storing Primordial Power.
The higher the quality of the Netherworld Treasure Pearl, the more Primordial Power it can store.
The quality of the Netherworld Treasure Pearl Duan Gujin obtained in his previous life wasn't as good as the one he now held.
"Now, I finally have confidence that I can resolve the crisis of the Green Cloud Sect!"
The next afternoon, Zhu Ge Hongyun called over Duan Gujin to discuss how to lift the crisis of the Qiankun Continent from Green Cloud Sect.
Duan Gujin let out a breath and deliberately exaggerated the strength of the Netherworld Sect, insisting that Zhu Ge Hongyun guard against traitors within the sect.
"Sect Master, the Green Cloud Sect is now at a critical mont of life and death!"
Duan Gujin frowned deeply, his expression extrely solemn.
Seeing Duan Gujin's grave expression, Zhu Ge Hongyun gasped.
He trusted that Duan Gujin would not intentionally harm the Green Cloud Sect, especially as he repeatedly cautioned him against sect insiders, which would surely be a trendous boon for Green Cloud Sect if uncovered.
However, up to now, despite increasing the manpower for investigation, no progress had been made.
Zhu Ge Hongyun asked Duan Gujin how to find the traitor, who in turn left this challenging task to Zhu Ge Hongyun.
"I'm not well-inford about the internal affairs of the Green Cloud Sect and have no leads; to find the traitor, Sect Master, you must dig three feet into the ground to uncover the details of suspicious individuals."
All Duan Gujin knew from his previous life was that Wang Haisheng was the traitor, but which elder within the Green Cloud Sect was the traitor remained unclear to him.
After Duan Gujin left, Zhu Ge Hongyun t with Lie Lei, and after a long discussion, they decided to rigorously investigate the backgrounds of the senior-level elders within the sect.
Indeed, this investigation revealed corruption and absurdities among so elders within the sect.
