In the sky, the magnificent spectacle of the sun and moon shining together was incredibly eye-catching.
The scorching sunlight and the gentle moonlight merged, forming a dazzling radiance in the sky.
The strange light shooting down carried a power that tore everything apart.
"RUMBLE!!!"
The strange light shot towards the center of the jungle, unleashing a fierce roar.
Where the strange light met the central area, a giant halo formed, and then the halo rapidly spread.
It quickly enveloped the entire jungle, and everyone was shrouded by the halo.
This halo seemed to contain a mysterious power that obscured everyone's vision and perception.
Even Tang Wuyun and Jiang Li were no exception.
I wonder what power could conceal everything, Jiang Li murmured to himself.
Before, the Nightmare Beast had already told Jiang Li that when the sun and moon shone together and the Sun-Moon Pool opened, everyone at the entrance would have their senses and vision obscured by a mysterious power.
Jiang Li had initially thought his powerful soul force would not be obscured, but unexpectedly, he couldn't avoid it either.
However, Jiang Li didn't pay too much attention. It was just an obstruction of vision and perception; the power within his body could still be utilized.
After a while, the halo slowly dissipated, and a huge pool appeared in the center of the jungle.
The pool reflected the blazing sun and the radiant moon, and ripples continuously spread across its surface.
"The Sun-Moon Pool has appeared!" a shout of surprise rang out.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they gazed intently at the Sun-Moon Pool in the center of the jungle.
Immediately, many people leaped into the Sun-Moon Pool in front of them.
Cultivators, like fish leaping into the sea, rapidly dashed towards the Sun-Moon Pool.
The Sun-Moon Pool was only open for fifteen minutes each day. After fifteen minutes, its entrance would close, and one could only enter by waiting for the sun and moon to shine together again the next day.
As a large number of cultivators plunged into the Sun-Moon Pool, the number of cultivators around the entrance rapidly decreased.
Jiang Li also tidied up his formation, preparing to enter the Sun-Moon Pool.
Soon, Jiang Li finished packing his formation and quickly walked towards the Sun-Moon Pool.
"Stop! You can't enter the Sun-Moon Pool!"
Just then, a sinister voice rang out. A young man with a cold expression, leading a group of cultivators exuding a murderous aura, blocked Jiang Li's path.
Jiang Li calmly looked at the young man before him and activated his Life Script System.
[Name]: Si Yang
[Realm]: Supreme Realm Triple Heaven
[Destiny]: Supreme Aspect (Purple), Hegemon of a Region (Blue), Extraordinary Fortune (Blue).
[Life Script]: Supporting character in "Chaos Emperor", member of the Anti-Immortal Sect, responsible for intelligence coordination.

...
Members of the Anti-Immortal Sect? Jiang Li's brow furrowed. This Si Yang was at the Supreme Realm Triple Heaven, and the cultivators following him were also members of the Anti-Immortal Sect, all of them Great Saint Realm cultivators.
Many people around noticed the conflict at Jiang Li's location, but no one paid attention. They simply continued to enter the Sun-Moon Pool.
"Why can't I enter the Sun-Moon Pool?" Jiang Li then asked slowly, his expression calm.
"Of course it's..."
Si Yang felt a surge of annoyance as he saw Jiang Li's composure.
"Swish, swish, swish!!!"
Before Si Yang could finish his sentence, he felt an incredibly terrifying aura. This aura made Si Yang and the others' scalps tingle, and their bodies tremble.
In an instant, a sword intent carrying a terrifying, unparalleled aura instantly struck Si Yang and the others.
"Sorry, I suddenly don't want to know anymore!" Jiang Li said slowly.
Immediately, the Great Saint realm cultivators behind Si Yang were torn to shreds by Jiang Li's Taiyi Sword Intent. Countless blood and minced flesh splattered everywhere, and the scent of blood permeated the entire entrance.
Si Yang was shocked by the terrifying sword intent, his body covered in countless wounds, blood flowing freely, and his life aura rapidly weakening.
The cultivators around who were entering the Sun-Moon Pool froze, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Jiang Li.
They had expected Jiang Li to be stopped by Si Yang, but unexpectedly, the situation reversed in an instant, and Jiang Li single-handedly annihilated those seemingly powerful cultivators.
After a moment of hesitation, the other cultivators entered the Sun-Moon Pool at an even faster pace, not daring to delay any further.
"I didn't intend to cause trouble for you, but you had to provoke me!" Jiang Li murmured to himself.
"No, no... don't kill me, don't, don't kill me..." Si Yang stammered, his pupils filled with profound fear.
Si Yang hadn't expected Jiang Li's strength to be so formidable, leaving them with no ability to resist.
"Nightmare Beast, soul search!" Jiang Li ignored Si Yang's pleas and summoned the Nightmare Beast.
Now that he had the Nightmare Beast, there was no need to extract any information from Si Yang's mouth; soul searching would suffice.
"Heh heh, I love soul searching the most. Leave it to me!" A mass of deep black mist emerged from Jiang Li and quickly surged into Si Yang's mind.
With a heart-wrenching scream, Si Yang's soul was completely torn apart, and his life aura completely vanished.
After a while, the Nightmare Beast emerged from Si Yang's corpse, its eyes filled with excitement.
"Any gains?" Jiang Li asked as he collected their spoils of war.
The arrival of these people was timely, providing Jiang Li with a significant amount of cultivation resources.
His resources had been almost depleted when he broke through to the Supreme Realm. Although the items on these few individuals were not much, they were enough for Jiang Li to use for a period.
"They actually came for the secret treasury of the Heaven Extreme Quasi-Emperor and the Spirit Fusion Divine Crystal!" the Nightmare Beast exclaimed excitedly.
Disappointment flickered in Jiang Li's eyes. He had already obtained this information from Tang Wuyun's recent turning point.
"Anything else useful?" Jiang Li continued to ask.
"Master, I know why so many people have come to the Sun-Moon Pool!" the Nightmare Beast replied.
Jiang Li's brow twitched. The reason why these cultivators had come to the Sun-Moon Pool?
Then, the Nightmare Beast relayed the information it had gathered to Jiang Li.
It turned out that not long ago, someone had auctioned off a wisp of immortal spiritual energy at an auction house in the Northern Region.
According to reliable intelligence, that person had obtained the immortal spiritual energy from the Sun-Moon Pool.
Although this information had not spread widely, the high-ranking officials of the top forces in the Northern Region had learned of it, and thus dispatched many people to search for the immortal spiritual energy.
Not just today, but every day during this period, a large number of cultivators had been entering the Sun-Moon Pool, all in search of the immortal spiritual energy.
