46: The richest person among Qi Refining cultivators!

October, the fifth year of Huangtian.

The news of True Person Yanling of the Qingyuan Sect in Kang Country passing away spread rapidly across the entire continent, and the Cultivation World was filled with mourning.

Emotions of despair and restlessness grew wildly.

In the Southwest region of the continent, spreading alongside the news of True Person Yanling's passing was the massacre of the former hegemon of the Southwest, the Hunyuan Sect!

These two pieces of news spread almost simultaneously, truly shocking everyone.

Especially the Hunyuan Sect.

Not only were all the Disciples slaughtered and the vast resources swept clean, but even the underground Spiritual Veins were hollowed out!

The entire Hunyuan Mountain was engulfed in a fire that burned day and night; the soaring flames and billowing black smoke could be seen for dozens of miles around!

That's right, this fire was set by Yu Xuzi.

Naturally, he was also the one who dug up the Spiritual Vein.

Afterward, to avoid being tracked, he simply set a massive fire after plundering all the resources.

He set fire to the nearly two-thousand-zhang-high Hunyuan Mountain!!!

The blazing flames illuminated the entire night sky, ensuring that nothing would be left to see once the fire died out.

Naturally, the whereabouts of the Hunyuan Sect's legacy received a great deal of attention afterward, especially from Sect forces like the Thousand Spirits Sect and Wind Fire Gate.

How many treasures did the Hunyuan Sect have?

It was impossible for them not to be envious.

Moreover, the person behind it had even hollowed out the Spiritual Vein!

Such acts of "drinking poison to quench thirst" and violating the laws of nature were strictly forbidden in the Cultivation World!

They naturally had reasons to investigate.

The primary suspects were Venerable Jin Sheng and the Loose Cultivators who had come to attend the trade fair.

After all, he had gone missing.

However, while other forces were investigating the incident at the Hunyuan Sect, one group didn't care at all.

That was the Yellow Heaven Cult!

...On Purple Gold Mountain.

After learning of True Person Yanling's passing, True Man Huang Tian stood alone in the main hall of his Immortal Cave and laughed maniacally toward the sky.

“Hahaha~ uh-uh”

The laughter was filled with long-suppressed ecstasy.

“Dead! Dead!!”

“You pedantic old geezer, you're finally dead!”

“From now on, no one can hinder me in the slightest!”

“Unify the Southwest! Unify the Continent!”

“Hahahaha~”

True Man Huang Tian laughed until tears almost came out.

He had been suppressed for too long.

If not for his wariness of True Person Yanling's existence, how could he, a Dao Foundation Cultivator who had made a Breakthrough two years ago, have continued to play along with these people from the various Southwest Sects until now?

A full half-hour later.

Only then did True Man Huang Tian restrain his laughter, his eyes becoming as sharp as knives: “Pass down my order, all Disciples prepare for war!”

“In three months, we will march into Yu State and annihilate the Wind Fire Gate!”

“As you command!”

The Yellow Heaven Cult Disciples guarding outside the hall responded in unison, then turned and left quickly.

Soon, Purple Gold Mountain became busy.

The auras of hundreds of Cultivators intertwined, forming a massive Battle Intent that surged into the clouds.

True Man Huang Tian walked to the entrance of the hall, looking at the grand world below the mountain, a flicker of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.

With the Immortal Master's passing, his greatest concern had vanished.

Next, he would sweep across the Southwest with the force of thunder and establish a Huangtian Dynasty ruled by Cultivators!

And then... collect Faith!

The reason he wanted to wait another three months was to provide himself with one last layer of insurance, waiting for more news about the Cultivation World in Kang Country to arrive.

In his view, True Person Yanling was incredibly pedantic!

It's already the age of decadence, yet he still insisted on suppressing the situation in the Cultivation World to maintain stability—everyone getting along, what's the use of that?

Isn't the Cultivation World still declining day by day?

One should plunder resources based on their own abilities and fight the heavens for that last sliver of life!

He believed that there must be many people in the Central Continent's Cultivation World who were secretly dissatisfied with True Person Yanling.

Now that True Person Yanling is gone, Kang Country and even the entire continent's Cultivation World will surely undergo massive changes!

As long as the Central Continent falls into chaos, no one will care about this small pond in the Southwest.

As for whether it was possible that True Person Yanling had faked his death to set a trap?

True Man Huang Tian dismissed this possibility without hesitation.

Setting aside True Person Yanling's consistent character.

Just based on his strength alone, why would he need to set a trap?

He only needed to hold a Tier 3 Magic Treasure and walk down from the Qingyuan Sect's mountain gate to effortlessly clean up the entire Cultivation World!

Whose fish would he be catching?

...Cangqing Mountain.

Yu Xuzi had returned here once again.

This time he had only been out for a short half-month; he had intended to go to the trade fair to exchange for some Spirit Stones for cultivation, but he hadn't expected to make a huge profit!

Inside Yuxu Temple.

Yu Xuzi had plundered the entire Hunyuan Mountain, and he now had a total of nine Storage Pouches in his hands!

“The existing Spirit Stones add up to about two thousand, and the excavated Spiritual Vein should be able to be divided into at least ten thousand more...”

“A complete Tier 3 Cultivation Technique, 'Hunyuan Spirit-Facing True Method'. This Hunyuan Sect technique actually includes the complete method for forming a Profound Fetus.”

“Over twenty Tier 1 Magical Artifacts, some Talismans and Spirit Pills, dozens of Spirit Medicines, various spiritual materials and ores, several Tier 1 and Tier 2 Spells, incomplete techniques and secret arts...”

“And this Tier 2 Low Grade Mountain Protecting Grand Formation's Formation Plate.”

“Hiss~ there's even a Tier 2 Magical Artifact; that female Cultivator was quite wealthy!”

“...”

After counting for nearly an hour, Yu Xuzi couldn't help but gasp repeatedly.

He was too wealthy.

Yu Xuzi dared to say that he was now definitely the wealthiest Qi Refining Cultivator in the entire continent's Cultivation World!

With so many Spirit Stone resources, let alone Peak Qi Refining, it was more than enough to Cultivate to the Dao Foundation Stage.

“And this thing... Source of the Spirit Vein!”

A milky-white crystal, about two feet in size, suddenly appeared in Yu Xuzi's hand.

As soon as it appeared, dense Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence instantly burst forth, and Yu Xuzi felt as if his body were cheering.

This is the source of a Spiritual Vein.

As long as it is buried in a leyline node, it can continuously convert Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence, generating Spirit Stones and Spiritual Veins.

However, due to the age of decadence and the weakening of leylines, the effect of the Source of the Spirit Vein is also constantly declining.

This manifests as a drop in the grade of the Spiritual Vein.

“I'll put it away for now; it might be of great use in the future.”

He had no intention of burying it in Cangqing Mountain.

Heaven knows how many years it would take for a new Spiritual Vein to slowly form; he couldn't afford to wait.

These resources were enough for Yu Xuzi to Cultivate to the Dao Foundation Stage. If nothing unexpected happened in the future, he wouldn't easily descend the mountain again.

At most, he would just scout for news about the Yellow Heaven Cult.

“Right, I almost forgot about this!”

Yu Xuzi found many dossiers in a certain Storage Pouch, all records of the Hunyuan Sect he had collected before leaving, and began to flip through them.

He remembered that Qiu Dao had once introduced it to him during a casual conversation.

The Hunyuan Sect's famous Sect-protecting treasure was not the demon-quelling golden bell he had seen before, but a Tier 2 Medium Grade Magical Artifact called the hunyuan cauldron.

It not only had terrifying power for killing and suppression but was also an excellent cauldron for Alchemy!

With so many Spirit Medicine resources now, using this cauldron for Alchemy in the future would be perfect!

Unfortunately, he hadn't found it even after searching all of Hunyuan Mountain.

Now is a good time to try and see if I can get a reward.
