“He fears that although I agreed to help, I might not exert my full effort at the critical moment and scheme against him?” Dongbo Xueying pondered silently while also receiving batches of visiting delegations from various worlds. The World Lords and Elders leading these delegations gazed at Dongbo Xueying with immense gratitude, showering him with words of appreciation.
“Divine Emperor, your great mercy has saved our entire clan. Our Funi World can never repay this debt. From now on, should you ever have any command, simply give the word, and our Funi World will never refuse!”
“Emperor Feixue, though we were strangers before, you took pity on us and chose to save our homeland and kin…”
The visitors’ gratitude was palpable.
Some had reddened eyes, and a few even shed tears. Their tears were not just from gratitude but also from remembering the countless clansmen who had perished in the previous battles.
It had been too arduous.
Fortunately, Emperor Feixue had emerged to save numerous worlds.
Dongbo Xueying did not put on airs but received each delegation graciously. That very day, he even hosted a grand banquet, where all the visiting delegations participated in this magnificent event.
“Emperor Feixue is truly extraordinary.”
“With his status, even weaker Divine Generals succumb and collapse before him. The likes of Skeleton Divine General suffered severe losses. Yet, despite his immense power, he treats us with such courtesy.”
“I heard that in the Heart Realm Continent, Emperor Feixue alone intimidated countless demons and saved endless lives.”
“Ah, what feats has the Emperor accomplished in the Heart Realm Continent? Do tell!”
The banquet buzzed with lively discussions.
Delegates from different worlds, some with no prior connections—even those with past enmities—now shared a common benefactor: Emperor Feixue! This united them in animated conversation, creating an exceptionally warm atmosphere. Everyone knew their homelands would no longer face attacks.
As long as Emperor Beihe refrained from assaulting them, their homes would remain safe. Since these territories belonged to Emperor Beihe, no other Divine Emperor had the right to act.
…
Dongbo Xueying acquainted himself with many World Lords and received an overwhelming number of gifts.
“So many gifts.”
“Piled up like a mountain.”
Seated at the banquet, Dongbo Xueying sensed the mountain of treasures stored in his spatial pocket world.
Many of these treasures radiated awe-inspiring auras.
Two Supreme Secret Treasures! One hundred and six Peak Secret Treasures! And countless rare treasures beyond measure.
“This is madness,” Dongbo Xueying felt almost numb. “I might just be the wealthiest cultivator in the entire Heart Realm Continent now.”
It was said that the Broken Tooth Mountain Range held endless treasures and opportunities, but in truth, the native inhabitants were far stronger. Through their repeated expeditions, they had claimed many of these treasures. Supreme and Peak Secret Treasures—how could their extraordinary auras not mark them as such? Though the natives, who cultivated bloodline power, could never wield them, they still collected them when encountered.
Figures like the Primordial Night Ancestor had once devoured natives en masse and plundered their treasures. Even invincible beings had engaged in trade with them! But the natives demanded exceedingly rare treasures—ones that greatly aided bloodline power. Such treasures were also highly sought after by the Deathblight Race.
Obtaining such treasures in the Floating Islands was far more challenging than finding Peak Secret Treasures!
“Among the many worlds, two Supreme Secret Treasures were discovered—one aligned with the Flame Path, the other with the Path of Strength,” Dongbo Xueying mused. For instance, the Island Lord of Zhanba, a practitioner of the Path of Strength, could achieve invincibility instantly with that mysterious rod. And the ‘Flame City Lord’ was a master of the Flame Path.
But both the Flame City Lord and the Island Lord of Zhanba were great demons. Dongbo Xueying would never trade with them.
“Emperor Xia cultivates both Flame and Void, doesn’t he?” Dongbo Xueying thought. Emperor Xia possessed only one Void Supreme Secret Treasure!
“As for Peak Secret Treasures…”
Dongbo Xueying chuckled wryly.
Peak Secret Treasures were abundant! Take the Xia Wind Ancient Nation, one of the Six Great Ancient Nations: the Fan Clan had six Great Venerables, the Xia Clan nine, and the Cang Clan seven. Add to that the non-Three Great Clan Venerables. Even if a few, like Great Venerable Fuyi, possessed multiple Peak Secret Treasures, the total would barely exceed a few dozen.
Yet he alone had over a hundred—more than the accumulated wealth of an entire ancient nation!
“After all, these are gifts from so many native worlds,” Dongbo Xueying sighed inwardly. Combined with the vast array of rare treasures, his wealth had indeed surpassed almost all invincible beings. Even the Undying Nether Emperor, who pursued the path of a Chaos Origin lifeform, might not rival him!
“Among the Peak Secret Treasures, nine are aligned with the Void Path, three of which surpass the Void Fire Lotus,” Dongbo Xueying reflected.
In the Heart Realm Continent, some Peak Secret Treasures were obtained from the Heart Realm Palace, others from the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, and some were forged by Supreme cultivators.
But those from the Broken Tooth Mountain Range…
Were undoubtedly left behind by ‘Yuan.’
Yuan had left countless opportunities, intending for cultivators to strive and compete—even against the natives. Who would have thought Dongbo Xueying would earn such gratitude from the native worlds that they scoured their reserves for anything useful to cultivators and sent them all? While parting with treasures useful to themselves pained them, they were more than willing to give away cultivator artifacts they couldn’t use.
Supreme Secret Treasures were precious, but unusable to them. At most, they could trade them with Heart Realm Continent cultivators. Yet, out of gratitude for saving their clans, they gifted them freely!
…
After the banquet concluded, Dongbo Xueying used the Great Void Transference Technique to send all the treasures back to Feixue City.
“Where to next?” Dongbo Xueying perused stacks of intelligence reports on the Floating Islands, all provided by the various worlds. With this wealth of information, his knowledge of the Broken Tooth Mountain Range’s Floating Islands now surpassed anyone in the Heart Realm Continent.
“Hmm.”
“One thousand two hundred Floating Islands with mysterious eyes,” Dongbo Xueying nodded. “The Bloodflame Clan, with just their own strength, knew very little. I’ll need to find a way to explore all one thousand two hundred.”
“But there’s no rush. While the cultivation of the Illusory Path is important, it pales in comparison to the Void Path.”
His homeworld continued to expand, inching closer to the Great Destruction.
He had to achieve the Supreme Void Path before the Great Destruction arrived.
“As for what aids my Void Path cultivation…” Dongbo Xueying pondered. “The intelligence mentions several Floating Islands with Void Path opportunities, but first, their benefits are limited—none compare to the ‘World Flower’ bestowed upon me by Lord Luo. Second, having already explored over five hundred Floating Islands, I’ve encountered many opportunities. What I need now is quiet contemplation.”
“And for quiet cultivation, there is one supreme treasure in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range.”
“The Seven-Bell Tower!”
Dongbo Xueying’s eyes gleamed.
The Seven-Bell Tower was akin to treasures like the ‘Heartburn Divine Tree’ and the ‘Source World Temple’ in the Heart Realm Continent—requiring no manipulation.
Yet the Seven-Bell Tower far surpassed the Heartburn Divine Tree and the Source World Temple. Even in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, it was hailed as the ‘Supreme Treasure for Serene Cultivation.’ Though less critical for bloodline cultivators and the Deathblight Race, it still sparked fierce competition. Ultimately, it was seized by ‘Emperor Wufeng.’
The Seven-Bell Tower was peculiar, with seven bells hanging from its edges. When gently activated, the bells would chime in sequence, their sounds guiding cultivators into an incredibly profound state of cultivation.
However, the bells could only ring once every trillion years.
Once rung, pushing them again would yield no sound. Only after another trillion years would their mystical power return.
Bloodline-cultivating Emperors and even Paramount Monarchs had traded with Emperor Wufeng for a chance to cultivate within. In that heightened state of mind, even comprehending one’s bloodline became clearer.
“I feel my accumulation in the Void Path is sufficiently profound. With Supreme Secret Teachings and the creation of five killer moves, plus the experience from over five hundred Floating Islands, a secluded retreat might just bring the breakthrough,” Dongbo Xueying mused. Cultivating within the Broken Tooth Mountain Range’s ‘Supreme Treasure for Serene Cultivation’ would undoubtedly amplify his progress.
“Time to visit Emperor Wufeng!”
Leaving an avatar with the Starlight Clan, Dongbo Xueying quietly made his way to the ‘Wufeng World.’
Emperor Wufeng, also under the command of the Paramount Monarch Haogu, possessed combat strength rivaling that of a Great Sage among lower-tier Chaos Origin lifeforms. Yet, in the recent wager battles, he and two other Emperors had consecutively lost to Emperor Beihe! Their methods in the wager battles remained undisclosed. In a true life-or-death struggle, their near-equal power would make victory difficult to determine.
