Ji Haoyuan's speed was incredibly fast.

In just a moment, he appeared in front of a valley.

The valley was shrouded in mist.

It was almost impossible to see clearly with the naked eye.

Fortunately, his Divine Sense was not affected.

In a mere instant, Ji Haoyuan saw a tree growing within the valley.

A faint golden glow shimmered from it.

To be precise, the glow emanated from a date on the tree, radiating a faint golden halo.

"Is that?

Cloud Dragon Golden Date!"

Ji Haoyuan could not suppress a look of delight on his face.

The so-called Cloud Dragon Golden Date was one of the Spiritual Objects he sought for Core Formation on this journey.

It was a genuine third-tier Spiritual Object.

Not only could it be used to concoct a Golden Core, but even a cultivator with a perfect Foundation Establishment could increase their Core Formation chance by ten percent by directly consuming it.

It was the most precious type among all Core Formation Spiritual Objects.

However, judging by the current state of the Cloud Dragon Golden Date, it seemed it hadn't fully matured yet.

If picked at this moment, the Cloud Dragon Golden Date would have no efficacy in terms of Core Formation.

Therefore.

If he wanted to truly obtain that Cloud Dragon Golden Date, he had to wait for it to mature completely.

Ji Haoyuan estimated that it might take about the time of burning an incense stick for the Cloud Dragon Golden Date to fully mature.

Sitting down cross-legged quietly.

Ji Haoyuan began to wait patiently.

However, in just a few breaths' time, several Escape Lights landed not far from him.

He glanced up.

Ji Haoyuan noticed that the arrivals were Cultivators from sects outside the Hongduan Mountain Range.

Golden Light Sect, Cloud Peak Sect, hmm, and then...

Suddenly, Ji Haoyuan's eyes narrowed.

Because at that moment, two more figures appeared.

Ji Haoyuan instantly recognized them as the two cultivators from Celestial Joy Sect he had seen not long ago.

The fact that they showed up here, did it mean that the beautiful female cultivator they were chasing had already met with misfortune?

The thought flashed briefly in his mind, but Ji Haoyuan dismissed it.

Because at that moment, the two cultivators from Celestial Joy Sect had already joined forces with those from Golden Light Sect and Cloud Peak Sect.

The group seemed to be discussing something.

Soon.

The disciples from the three sects all turned their gazes toward Ji Haoyuan.

A red-haired man among the Celestial Joy Sect spoke sternly:

"You're not welcome here, if you know what's best for you, leave immediately.

Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

The words were forceful, leaving Ji Haoyuan no choice.

This made him immediately understand.

The three sects, as Cultivators from outside the Hongduan Mountain Range,

intended to first eliminate him, the local Cultivator.

As for who would ultimately take the Cloud Dragon Golden Date, that would be a matter among the three of them.

Before that, they wouldn't allow any other Cultivators present, to prevent anyone from taking advantage or seizing the benefit.

This was not an unreasonable thing.

If Ji Haoyuan were in their position, he would do the same.

However, understanding was one thing, but giving up that Cloud Dragon Golden Date was impossible for him.

So, he simply ignored the red-haired man's words and continued to sit quietly, waiting for the Cloud Dragon Golden Date to mature.

Seeing this, a cold gleam appeared in the eyes of the red-haired man and the others.

"Don't know what's good for you, in that case, stay here forever!"

As the words fell, a large drum suddenly appeared above the red-haired man's head.

Bang!

With the sound of the drum,

Ji Haoyuan immediately felt a faint vibration in his Divine Sense.

It turned out to be a Spiritual Artifact targeting Divine Sense.

Seeing this, the others exchanged glances and quickly made a decision.

In the air, three or four Spiritual Artifacts flashing with various Spirit Light, simultaneously attacked Ji Haoyuan.

The attack was fierce and murderous, truly aimed at taking Ji Haoyuan's life.

Crack—

However, at that moment, everyone seemed to feel a numbness around them.

Their Magical Power circulation slightly stalled.

The Spirit Light of the Spiritual Artifacts attacking Ji Haoyuan also dimmed slightly.

Before anyone could understand what was happening, they saw a trace of red lightning suddenly appear in Ji Haoyuan's eyes.

Oh no!

The hearts of the red-haired man and the others sank.

The next moment, they saw several red lightning bolts crashing down on them.

Rumble!

Thunderous lightning erupted in the sky.

Everyone instinctively retreated and quickly recalled their Spiritual Artifacts to shield themselves.

Buzz!

But at that moment, an indescribable fragrance suddenly wafted out from the valley.

Accompanying it was a dense golden brilliance that filled everyone's view.

What is that?

The red-haired man and the others were greatly shaken.

The Cloud Dragon Golden Date had thoroughly matured at this moment!

Realizing this, they no longer cared about dealing with Ji Haoyuan.

In fact, the temporary alliance they had just formed immediately fell apart.

At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds, which was to seize that Cloud Dragon Golden Date!

Swish!

But at this moment, a rapid figure had already reached the tree bearing the Cloud Dragon Golden Date, ahead of everyone else.

Reaching out a hand.

The Cloud Dragon Golden Date, shining with an unusual golden glow, landed in his hand.

It was then swiftly placed into a pre-prepared jade box.

It was Ji Haoyuan, who had been prepared all along!

"How dare you!"

"Put the Golden Date down at once!"

"Are you courting death?"

...

At that instant, everyone was filled with anger and surprise.

No matter what, they hadn't expected that with so many of them present, they would be outmaneuvered by this person.

In a flash, numerous spells and Spiritual Artifacts rained down toward Ji Haoyuan as if it had been prearranged.

Swish!

But at that moment, Ji Haoyuan chose not to engage with them further.

A pair of fiery wings suddenly appeared behind him.

With a gentle flap in the air.

The next moment, he turned into a streak of red light, quickly disappearing into the distant horizon.

"What?"

Such a turn of events left the red-haired man and the others greatly shocked once more.

But soon, a coldness appeared on their faces.

Without any hesitation, the red-haired man and everyone present began chasing after Ji Haoyuan in Escape Light mode.

However, with their speed, how could they possibly catch up to Ji Haoyuan, who wanted to leave?

In just a brief moment, they completely lost all traces of Ji Haoyuan.
