276: Chapter 276 Early Stage of Immortal Emperor

Ye Chen and the other required resources for Alchemy and Artifact Refining. If they had to take out Medicinal Pills and Immortal Artifacts to exchange for these, it would inevitably cause some inconvenience.

Instead, he could take over the Immortal Stone mine here to serve as their public front.

As for Li Junlin and the other, they could focus on Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Cultivating in peace.

When the time came, Li Fengqing could be the one to sell the Medicinal Pills and Immortal Artifacts they refined; this way, Ye Chen and the other would not have their identities exposed.

At the mine, Li Fengqing's sudden appearance infuriated the Feng family guardian. How dare someone covet his Feng family's mine? Was this not seeking death?

Especially since the opponent's cultivation was only at the True Immortal Middle Stage, a minor Realm lower than his own.

In such a situation, the fact that the opponent dared to come here to provoke him—what was this if not seeking death?

Unfortunately, after he made his move, he realized he was wrong; the opponent's strength was actually far greater than his.

Just as he was preparing to beg for mercy, the opponent instantly beheaded him.

Li Fengqing looked at the True Immortal he had killed, a sneer of disdain playing on his lips.

"Do you really think the Asura Emperor Canon of my Asura Hall is a joke?"

He was cultivating the Asura Emperor Canon created by Li Daoxuan, which could be cultivated all the way to the Immortal Emperor Peak.

As for the subsequent Cultivation Techniques, he believed he would naturally obtain them when he met his Revered Master again.

After taking over the resources here, he gathered all the miners and gave them double the resource rewards to help him collect Immortal Stones.

These miners were all Loose Immortals with mediocre combat power, relying on mining for others to obtain resources.

Originally, the mineral vein here was not very good, and not many Immortal Stones were extracted, so the benefits they received were meager.

But after Li Fengqing arrived and increased their wages, they were filled with motivation.

After all, for every ten Immortal Stones they dug out, they could receive two; this was something they never dared to imagine before.

There were three hundred miners here; originally, they could extract five Immortal Stones a day, but now it had increased to ten.

Because for every ten they extracted, they could get two, whereas with five, they could only get one.

Furthermore, some of them were slaves captured by the Feng family. After Li Fengqing took control of the place, he directly unsealed their suppressed cultivation.

Therefore, the miners here were extremely grateful to Li Fengqing; provided it did not cost them their lives, they would do anything for him.

It was not until three months later that the situation here was discovered, as someone would come every three months to collect the extracted Immortal Stones.

Naturally, Li Fengqing would not hand over the Immortal Stones; after all, in three months, he had obtained nearly two hundred thousand Immortal Stones.

There was no way he would take out so many Immortal Stones to hand over to the Feng family.

Thus, the feud between the two sides deepened, and the Feng family experts came one after another to cause trouble for Li Fengqing, essentially serving themselves up to him on a silver platter.

Li Fengqing also began his path of battle.

...

God-Abandoned Continent. Five hundred years had passed, and Li Daoxuan sighed endlessly as he looked at the resources here.

"What a pity, it is such a pity. If we could turn over the soil here, perhaps there would be more good resources underneath?"

Zhou Tian laughed and said, "Do not be insatiable. The ground here is simply too hard. Even though we both have Divine Artifacts, we still cannot dig up the soil here. To turn this place over is almost impossible."

Li Daoxuan nodded slightly, finally saying with some reluctance, "I do not know if we will ever be able to come here again in the future."

Zhou Tian shook his head and said, "The resources in the Endless Void are all hidden. If we leave this God-Abandoned Continent, it will not be long before it is concealed again."

"Otherwise, do you think Ye Liangchen would not want to come and take revenge?"

Li Daoxuan nodded slightly; Zhou Tian was right. If it were truly possible to return, Ye Liangchen would have likely killed his way back long ago.

Moreover, the next time someone came, it would not just be Ye Liangchen, but an Immortal Venerable from the Ye family. By then, the two of them would likely perish here.

Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Since we are about to leave, how about I improve my cultivation? Otherwise, after we go out, we might encounter a large number of ambushes."

Zhou Tian asked, "Are you sure you want to break through here? You only broke through five hundred years ago; you should properly stabilize it first."

Li Daoxuan shook his head and said, "You know how powerful my combat strength is after my Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit fused with your Void True Fire."

"If I can break through to the Immortal Emperor Early Stage, I will have the possibility of escaping from an Immortal Venerable Early Stage expert. By then, even if the Ye family's Immortal Venerable comes, I will not be afraid."

Zhou Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Are you really unwilling to go to the Heavenly Fire Palace with me? Going there would completely ensure your safety; you would not need to risk breaking through at all."

Li Daoxuan said, "Although the Heavenly Fire Palace belongs to your family, if the Ye family offers enough benefits, it is very likely I would be handed over. Aside from you, I do not trust anyone else."

"Besides, we have obtained so many benefits this time; I do not believe no one in the Heavenly Fire Palace would be tempted."

Zhou Tian opened his mouth, but ultimately sighed, "What you say is true. The Heavenly Fire Palace is not decided by me alone. Even my father might be tempted by the Divine Artifacts and Divine Stones you have harvested."

He dared not guarantee whether Li Daoxuan would be protected after arriving at the Heavenly Fire Palace, or if he would be stripped of all his assets by the Heavenly Fire Palace.

Therefore, he did not insist on inviting Li Daoxuan to the Heavenly Fire Palace, only hoping that Li Daoxuan could live well.

Although Li Daoxuan had exposed his Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit, he had not exposed his Acquired Sacred Fire Physique.

This type of Physique could not be discovered without specific circumstances. As for the old man in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm discovering it, that could only be attributed to the fact that Li Daoxuan had just Awakened his Sacred Fire Physique at that time, which was why it was discovered.

Li Daoxuan sat cross-legged on the ground; he did not guard against Zhou Tian.

Because the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit on him was guarding the surroundings at all times; if Zhou Tian dared to harbor any ill intentions, the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit would absolutely launch an attack instantly.

The Great Ocean Boundless Sutra circulated, and the high-grade Immortal Crystals in his hands were continuously drained and turned into powder.

He actually wanted to use those corpses to improve his cultivation, but unfortunately, with Zhou Tian present, it was not appropriate to take out those corpses and drain them directly in front of him.

Therefore, he could only use the Immortal Crystals he had on him to Cultivate. Fortunately, the Immortal Crystals he had obtained were enough for him to break through to the Immortal Emperor Early Stage.

Time passed little by little, and Zhou Tian even felt a bit anxious.

Just as he was thinking about how to help Li Daoxuan break through, Li Daoxuan's cultivation instantly broke through.

"Boom!"

A massive Aura soared into the sky. Zhou Tian was also an existence at the Immortal Emperor Early Stage, but he felt immense pressure, and could even sense the explosive power contained within this pressure.

If he were to make a move against Li Daoxuan, he would absolutely be crushed by the other party instantly.

Thinking of this, he could not help but gasp. He had originally thought that the other party's cultivation was the same as his own, both at the Immortal Emperor Early Stage, and his combat power would at most barely reach the Immortal Emperor Peak.

But he realized he was wrong; the other party's cultivation had to be at least at the limit of the Immortal Emperor Peak.

After suppressing his surging cultivation, Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Let's go. We can just take advantage of the battles after we go out to stabilize my cultivation."

Zhou Tian opened his mouth and asked in surprise, "Are you saying you will stabilize your cultivation during battle? Are you not afraid of your cultivation dropping if you get injured?"

Li Daoxuan shook his head and said, "True experts are forged through battle. If one only knows how to Cultivate, one will never become a true expert."
