209: Ascend the Heavenly Gate and enter the realm of immortals!

Two hundred billion... Saint Crystals!?

Everyone in the Su Family gasped; they had seen Saint Crystals before, but wasn't two hundred billion a bit too large of an amount?

Currently, all the Saint Crystals within the entire Su Family combined did not exceed one billion.

Yet, that was everything the Su Family had painstakingly accumulated over these years.

And yet, Su Chen just tossed two hundred billion at them right off the bat!

That was two hundred billion!

The elders of the Su Family were fine; although they were incredibly shocked, they could still restrain their emotions. However, the younger generation couldn't handle it.

They all widened their eyes, staring in dumbstruck amazement.

Or rather, their expressions hadn't changed from just a moment ago until now.

In terms of true value, two hundred billion Saint Crystals had already completely exceeded the value of an Emperor Weapon.

Originally, the value of Saint Crystals couldn't be compared to Emperor Weapons at all, but this quantity was simply too terrifying.

Su Pingtian and Su Xiao looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

People of Su Yuanba's generation often talked about how generous Su Chen was back then; anything he casually took out was enough to shock them.

Su Pingtian and the others felt that was just in the past.

At that time, the Su Family had not yet risen and possessed no resources at all. Given Su Chen's Realm at the time, it was normal for the Su Family to find anything he casually gave them terrifying.

But now the Su Family had risen and possessed countless treasures, so how could the things from before happen again?

However, after seeing Su Chen's methods today, Su Pingtian fell silent.

I can't handle it! I really can't handle it!

First, he upgraded them to Divine Bodies, then came one hundred Emperor Weapons, followed by countless Cultivation Techniques, and now two hundred billion Saint Crystals.

Every time Su Chen took something out, it was enough to shake the entire Xuantian Realm.

Each of these items was an immense fortune for the Su Family.

Take those Emperor Weapons, for example; within the entire Xuantian Realm, no faction had more than five Emperor Weapons.

But now, their Su Family possessed one hundred!

What kind of concept was this!

Basically, these core members of the Su Family could each have one, carry ten billion Saint Crystals with them, and if they saw anyone they didn't like, they could use the Saint Crystals to power the Emperor Weapon and smash them.

Everyone would be an Emperor-level combatant!

Su Chen looked at Su Qingtian's expression and then said with a smile, "Not enough? Then I..."

"Stop! That's enough!"

Su Qingtian hurriedly waved his hand. If he let Su Chen continue, his little heart truly wouldn't be able to take it; who knew, he might even pull out Immortal Rank treasures next.

Su Qingtian was deeply confused; how did Su Chen manage to pull out so many treasures every time like a magic trick?

...

With Su Chen's resources, the Su Family developed even more rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.

During these hundred years, Su Qingtian and Old Master Su Hongyuan both broke through to the Ancient Saint Realm.

If not for the fact that they had been upgraded to Divine Bodies previously, it would have been impossible for them to break through to the Ancient Saint Realm in a hundred years. It was precisely because they had been upgraded to Divine Bodies, coupled with their frantic consumption of resources, that they could be this fast.

It was also largely because they saw the younger generation, like Su Pingtian, chasing closely behind, which put a lot of pressure on the older generation.

In a hundred years, the Xuantian Realm had grown a lot and could now fully accommodate Great Emperor Extreme Realm powerhouses.

The four Great Emperor Extreme Realm powerhouses who were outside the territory all successively returned to the Xuantian Realm.

On this day, a figure who surprised Su Chen arrived at Mount Wangyun.

Great Emperor Wushi!

On the mountainside of Mount Wangyun, although the scenery here wasn't as good as the summit, the trees were dense, looking quite unique.

Su Chen personally received the Great Emperor; it wasn't because the other party was powerful, but because the other party had guarded the Xuantian Realm for so many years; although their strength was weak, they were worthy of respect.

Moreover, he had observed Great Emperor Wushi with the Grandmist Eye; the other party had dense Luck and would surely achieve great things in the future.

"Please!" Su Chen poured him some tea and said with a faint smile.

Great Emperor Wushi wasn't the type to stand on ceremony; he picked up the teacup, took a light sip, and then set it down.

"It is my honor that Senior would come out to meet me in person."

"Last time outside the Realm, many thanks to Senior for the rescue. Wushi will keep this kindness in his heart. In the future, if there is anything you need, I am at your command."

Great Emperor Wushi's purpose in coming to Mount Wangyun this time was to thank Su Chen in person for saving his life.

Although he had been very lonely along his journey, with his friends and family all dead, this did not mean he was a heartless or ungrateful person.

On the contrary, Great Emperor Wushi valued relationships very much.

And Su Chen's act of saving his life was very important to him.

If Su Chen encountered difficulties in the future, he would risk his life to help.

Sensing Great Emperor Wushi's sincerity, Su Chen smiled and nodded, "No need to be so polite, it was just a small effort."

"Looking at you, it won't be long before you leave the Xuantian Realm. If you encounter my Su Family members in the Immortal Realm in the future, please protect them a little."

Great Emperor Wushi hurriedly said, "That is only natural."

However, he was incredibly puzzled in his heart: Are you not planning to ascend the Heavenly Gate yourself?

Although he thought this in his heart, he still didn't ask; after all, this was a matter that had nothing to do with him.

After the two chatted for a while, Great Emperor Wushi bid farewell and left.

He came to Mount Wangyun partly to thank him in person, and partly to express his farewells.

With the strengthening of the Xuantian Realm, Great Emperor Wushi could feel that it wouldn't be long before the Heavenly Gate opened again.

This meant he could enter the Immortal Realm!

Watching Great Emperor Wushi's departing figure, Su Chen didn't say anything.

The Xuantian Realm had an enemy in the Upper Realm, and a very powerful one at that, but it did not affect the Ascension of people from the Lower Realm.

According to records, those who ascended to the Immortal Realm were not transported to a fixed location, but were randomly teleported to weaker areas by the Dao.

Even if people from the Nine Nether Demon Kingdom wanted to target people from the Xuantian Realm, they wouldn't be able to find them at all.

As for the grudge between the Xuantian Realm and the Nine Nether Demon Kingdom, Su Chen wasn't very clear about it, but if the Nine Nether Demon Kingdom continued to target the Xuantian Realm, these matters would surface sooner or later.

Another three hundred years or so passed.

The Heavenly Dao will of the Xuantian Realm was incredibly powerful and had already reached the point where it could open the Heavenly Gate.

On this day, the Heavenly Gate opened!

A massive white gate appeared in the sky. Immortal Qi spilled out from the tightly closed portal. When looking up, it almost occupied half of one's vision, grand and magnificent.

"Someone has opened the Heavenly Gate; someone is going to the Immortal Realm!"

"Which Great Emperor is it this time? It seems our Xuantian Realm only has those four, including Great Emperor Aoran, right?"

"I think it must be Great Emperor Wushi; his strength is the strongest, so it must be him ascending the Heavenly Gate."

Sounds of discussion arose, and countless people were incredibly excited.

Ascending the Heavenly Gate!

This was something they could only see in legends before, but now it was actually happening right before their eyes.

It was also mainly because no one had ascended the Heavenly Gate in the Xuantian Realm for too long, so much so that they had forgotten about the possibility of ascending to the Immortal Realm.

The next moment, a towering figure appeared in everyone's eyes. He held the Wushi Bell, his aura surging to the heavens.

It was Great Emperor Wushi!

As his figure emerged, the Heavenly Gate gradually opened. Everyone immediately craned their necks to look. They saw that the Heavenly Gate was filled with auspicious energy, with mountains and flowing water; it was breathtakingly beautiful.

Was that... the Immortal Realm?

Countless people yearned for it in their hearts.

Just as Great Emperor Wushi was about to step into the Heavenly Gate, his footsteps paused, and he turned to bow in the direction of Mount Wangyun.
