There was nothing much to say; he still had 7000 Demon value Points points, so he would continue upgrading!
[Demon value Points insufficient, unable to continue advancing!]

Li Xuanxiao: Black Man Questions Meme.gif
7000 Demon value Points points weren't even enough to advance another Realm?
It only cost 3000 Demon value Points points to enter, which I already thought was expensive, but I didn't expect advancing further to be so much more costly!
Considering that Cultivation Techniques like "Xuan - Ancient Subtle Life Lotus" only cost 100 Demon value Points points to enter, the thirtyfold difference was just too much.
Immediately, Li Xuanxiao suddenly recalled the palm strike from a distance that caused a small mountain to tremble violently, and his mind finally felt much more balanced.
Mystic Realm Cultivation Techniques were indeed expensive, but they were truly awesome! Worth the price!
It was just a pity that if he wanted to advance his Realm in the future, he would have to be constantly busy again.
This month had truly exhausted him, even surpassing the exhaustion of 996! It was the period since his Transmigration where he had slain demons the most desperately. He really didn't want to experience such 'blessings' again!
"Since the Cultivation Technique cannot be improved, let's improve the other Martial Arts."
Li Xuanxiao continued to allocate points.
[Consumed 300 Demon value Points points, Dharma-Breaking Qi-Extinguishing Slash has entered Minor Achievement Realm!]
[Consumed 500 Demon value Points points, Dharma-Breaking Qi-Extinguishing Slash has entered Major Achievement Realm!]
[Consumed 1000 Demon value Points points, Dharma-Breaking Qi-Extinguishing Slash has entered Perfection Realm!]
[Consumed 3000 Demon value Points points, Dharma-Breaking Qi-Extinguishing Slash has reached Transcendent Realm!]
[Consumed 300 Demon value Points points, Shadow Clinging to the Bone has entered Minor Achievement Realm!]
[Consumed 500 Demon value Points points, Shadow Clinging to the Bone has entered Major Achievement Realm!]
[Consumed 1000 Demon value Points points, Shadow Clinging to the Bone has entered Perfection Realm!]
6600 Demon value Points points were instantly consumed; Dharma-Breaking Qi-Extinguishing Slash reached Transcendent Realm, and Shadow Clinging to the Bone entered Perfection.
The Demon value Points points shrank again to 400.
Li Xuanxiao gave a wry smile; spending always happened faster than earning.
He had been out for over a month, almost two months now. It was time to head back. Li Xuanxiao made up his mind and immediately set off on the return journey.
As his True Essence surged, he executed Rainbow Light Movement again, but this time his speed was nearly three times faster!
This was a pure increase brought by True Essence, how exaggerated!
With this speed, he could reach the Demon Slaying Division in three days at most.
Li Xuanxiao calculated silently, his speed undiminished.
A magnificent, dazzling rainbow in the sky swiftly streaked towards the Demon Slaying Division.
...
Pei Prefecture, Demon Slaying Division, Commander's Residence.
The eight Hall Masters were gathered, their faces extremely grave.
Yang Zhiru sat next to the main seat, his usual placidity gone, replaced by a hint of sternness in his brow.
Outside the door, a burly man walked slowly into the hall.
It was Si Yiwu, the Commander of the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division!
Si Yiwu was tall and sturdy, resembling a towering, majestic Peak rising from the forest, making him particularly eye-catching among the crowd.
"Hall Masters, first report the losses of your respective halls."
Several Hall Masters nodded, and someone immediately stood up to report.
"In my Patrol Hall, out of 73 Inspectors sent out, 48 have been confirmed deceased..."
"In my Flying Eagle Hall, out of 127 Martial Artists scattered outside relaying information, 76 have now been confirmed dead."
"My Demon Slaying Hall..."
The Hall Masters reported in turn. When it was the Purification Hall's turn, Yang Zhiru slowly stood up.
"In my Purification Hall, the three Martial Artist squads executing special missions outside have all been confirmed to have died in action, totaling thirty people!"
As soon as these words were spoken, before the Commander could say anything, a commotion broke out among the other Hall Masters.
"Even the Purification Hall lost so many people?"
"Those sent on special missions were all experts at the Late Xuan Realm!"
"This loss is much greater than any previous one. The Purification Hall has taken a heavy blow."
"Damn demons, why did they suddenly go berserk all at once? We simply couldn't cover so many cities!"
"Damn it, several Demon Sovereigns have been staring at us these past few days, so we couldn't make a move and could only watch helplessly as those demons rampaged through Pei Prefecture."
Listening to the discussions, Si Yiwu interlaced his fingers into a fist, rested his elbows on the table, and propped his thumb against his jaw, seemingly lost in thought.
After the discussion subsided, he slowly spoke: "That little fellow, the one at the Peak of the Mystic Realm who is about Miaoyin's age, hasn't returned yet?"
Everyone was stunned, wondering why the Commander would ask about this matter now.
The Mission Hall Master immediately stood up: "Reporting to Commander, Li Xuanxiao has not returned. Over a month ago, after he collected the record jade token, there has been no further news."
The Hall Masters who only knew Li Xuanxiao's Realm but not much about him frowned.
"Did this kid run away?"
"With a great enemy at the door, he specifically took an open-ended mission. How could it be such a coincidence!"
"Don't say it, you really shouldn't say it! It's very possible this kid took this opportunity to slip away and hide somewhere!"
Before they could finish speaking, a Hall Master immediately refuted them.
Liu Gelin, the Law Enforcement Hall Master, snorted: "I don't believe that someone who dared to fight a Third Layer of the Xuan Realm demon when he was only at the First Layer of the Xuan Realm could be a coward!"
The Patrol Hall Master nodded in agreement, recounting the story of Li Xuanxiao saving his colleagues and voluntarily accepting the Demon Slaying mission, as well as the incident where he single-handedly killed eight demons.
Not only that, even the usually taciturn Yang Zhiru spoke up: "That kid is indeed not bad! When he first arrived, because of the incident with Shangguan's death, I gave him a show of force."
Yang Zhiru chuckled lightly as he said this: "I thought this kid would be suppressed by me to the point of being speechless, just like Ling Yan and the others.But guess what he did?"
The Hall Masters leaned in to listen, even Liu Gelin and the Patrol Hall Master, who had interacted with Li Xuanxiao, showed curious expressions.
"This kid, he actually tried to draw his saber on me!"
The Hall Masters showed surprise one after another. Liu Gelin laughed heartily: "I didn't expect it, he's still such a reckless brat!"
The Patrol Hall Master also laughed: "Tsk tsk, daring to have thoughts of resistance under Vice General Yang's pressure."
"Based on that alone, Li Xuanxiao definitely isn't a coward who flees in the face of battle!"
Just as they were discussing, they sensed a powerful aura.
Mystic Realm!
The group exchanged glances, all seeing solemnity in each other's eyes.
With demons running rampant everywhere, they were short-handed, and no reinforcements could arrive.
Such a Mystic Realm expert appearing out of nowhere was most likely a demon!
The Commander also raised an eyebrow: "Whether friend or foe, we will know once we go out and look!"
The group immediately walked out of the hall.
Then, they saw a dazzling rainbow rapidly approaching...
"That is..."
"Li Xuanxiao!?"
Several Hall Masters exclaimed in shock!
