Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

"Sect Master, aside from Spirit Crystals, Blood Crystals, and the like, the biggest harvest this time... should be the Flame Cloud Stones."

Lian Yuze flipped his palm, took out a Storage Ring, and handed it to Su Han.

"As for the quantity, I’ll have to trouble Sect Master to take a look personally."

"Oh?"

Su Han glanced at Lian Yuze, then grabbed the Storage Ring and swept through it with his Divine Sense.

"Two hundred and thirty thousand?!"

When he sensed the number of Flame Cloud Stones, a burst of joy instantly shot out from Su Han’s eyes.

There were a full two hundred and thirty thousand Flame Cloud Stones!!!

What kind of concept was that?

One Flame Cloud Stone could spread out a one-li safe area.

Two hundred and thirty thousand of them meant they could expand the Phoenix Sect’s safe area by another two hundred and thirty thousand li!

Adding the previous seventy thousand li, at this moment the Phoenix Sect’s safe area had already reached a range of a full three hundred thousand li!

Such an enormous area was enough to contain more than five hundred million people!

Although right now in this Lower-Class Star Region, life was devastated and the number of dead cultivators was beyond counting, Su Han knew that the cultivators still surviving in the Lower-Class Star Region were still as numerous as ants.

The larger the safe area, the more people it could contain, and the more Spirit Crystals they would provide to the Phoenix Sect.

If the Phoenix Sect could persist like this, relying on this path, standing at the peak of the Lower-Class Star Region would be no difficult matter!

Moreover, within the Phoenix Sect, there was still the Kunpeng Sacred Body!

Other powers looked down on this thing, not knowing what use it had, but Su Han knew extremely well just how great a role the Kunpeng Sacred Body could play in the current situation.

Even in the High-Grade Planet Region, the powers of the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects had almost all already been completely surrounded by the Extraterritorial Demons and could not leave their territories.

Their resource routes had been nearly entirely cut off by the Extraterritorial Demons. Even if they knew where Spirit Crystal Veins were, they simply couldn’t send people to mine them!

Under such circumstances, no matter how many reserves you had, there would ultimately come a day when they were exhausted, just like the Phoenix Sect had been before.

This was also why those powers wanted to bargain with Su Han.

Because their own Spirit Crystals were already nearly insufficient; if they took out that many more to give the Phoenix Sect, it would only make things worse for them.

However, the Phoenix Sect was not afraid!

Even if they truly had no Spirit Crystals left, these disciples of the Phoenix Sect could still cultivate the Kunpeng Sacred Body and, by devouring Blood Crystals, strengthen their physical bodies.

Even if Spirit Crystals were gone, Blood Crystals were endless!

This was the benefit of Su Han living a second life!

Apart from him, looking across the entire Lower-Class Star Region, there was likely not a single person who knew of the Kunpeng Sacred Body.

...

"Send all these Flame Cloud Stones to Wang Fuxing immediately," Su Han said.

"Yes."

Lian Yuze answered and was about to leave on the spot.

"Wait."

Su Han suddenly added, "Half a year outside is equivalent to four hundred years having passed inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son. To what level has Wang Fuxing’s Cultivation Base reached now?"

"This subordinate has been paying close attention. This person’s aptitude indeed isn’t bad. With the Cultivation Technique given by Sect Master, plus the assistance of those numerous Spirit Crystals, Wang Fuxing has now broken through the Spirit Transformation Realm and reached the First Grade Spiritual Body Realm," Lian Yuze said.

"So fast?" Su Han was slightly stunned.

In merely four hundred years, to go from the Spirit Transformation Realm to the Spirit Body Realm— even those Heavenly Talents would likely find it hard to accomplish that, no?

"That..."

Lian Yuze pursed his lips and said, "Divine Kings Ling Xiao and Ye Xiaofei often go over."

"So that’s how it is..."

Su Han immediately came to a sudden realization.

It seemed the two of them knew he had no time, so they frequently went to help Wang Fuxing improve his Cultivation Base.

This counted as a shortcut; those Grand Powers’ experts would do the same for their own descendants.

In fact, if Ling Xiao and Ye Xiaofei weren’t worried about harming Wang Fuxing’s foundation, Wang Fuxing’s Cultivation Base at this moment would likely not be merely at the Spirit Body Realm.

"I understand. You may withdraw first," Su Han said.

"Yes!"

...

After Lian Yuze left, Su Han remained seated where he was, lost in thought for a long time.

What he was thinking about was the matter of the Kunpeng Sacred Body.

It was just like with the safe area before—many Grand Powers didn’t believe it.

They didn’t believe in this Kunpeng Sacred Body either.

Because of the safe area matter, those Grand Powers had already completely put the Kunpeng Sacred Body out of their minds, to the point that they had no interest in even trying it.

Su Han felt he ought to think of a way to let those Grand Powers know the benefits of the Kunpeng Sacred Body.

He believed that once powers like the Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects learned of the use of the Kunpeng Sacred Body, they would definitely come to buy it from him without any hesitation!

It was just that they currently didn’t believe, so Su Han needed an opportunity!

What Su Han did not expect was that this opportunity... came very quickly.

...

Within the safe area, at the place where the Sect of Taiyun was located.

This was open-air, with virtually no buildings present; all members of the Sect of Taiyun were sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Compared to the past, their current days were truly extremely bitter.

But there was no other way. Only here could they preserve their lives; even if it was bitter, as long as they could stay alive, that was already enough.

"Whoosh!"

Ripples appeared in the Void, and a figure entered the crowd’s field of view.

"Who is it!"

Fang Mie immediately got to his feet, and with a flicker, arrived beside Shangguan Xier, his expression turning cautious.

"Elder Fang, why be so tense?" A calm voice drifted over.

"So it’s Sect Master Su."

Though Fang Mie said so, his face grew even more tense.

He had witnessed that Poison Pill with his own eyes and was truly afraid that Su Han had come to threaten them.

"I do not know what brings Sect Master Su here in person?" Fang Mie asked.

Seeing him so cautious, Su Han couldn’t help but smile, then looked at Shangguan Xier. "This Sect came today because there is a matter I wish to discuss with Miss Shangguan."

"What matter?" Fang Mie frowned.

Su Han did not answer him; he merely looked at Shangguan Xier.

"Please speak, Sect Master Su."

Shangguan Xier stood up and slightly bent at the waist, counting as a salute.

"Miss Shangguan knows about the Kunpeng Sacred Body, yes?" Su Han smiled.

"We’re not buying it!"

Before Shangguan Xier could speak, Fang Mie directly said, "Sect Master Su, we really don’t have many Spirit Crystals left on us. Can you not leave us a path to live?"

"Elder Fang, you’re overthinking it. This Sect is not here to threaten you."

Su Han pressed his lips together, flipped his palm, and a Crystal Stone and a Storage Ring appeared.

"This Crystal Stone is the first layer of the Kunpeng Sacred Body."

Su Han said, "Inside this Storage Ring are the Blood Crystals formed after Extraterritorial Demons die. You can find someone to try cultivating the Kunpeng Sacred Body, and then you will know just how precious this thing truly is."

"But..."

Fang Mie was about to say something more when Su Han interjected, "Don’t worry, this item I will not take Spirit Crystals for, but there is one matter in which I need your assistance."

"What matter?" Shangguan Xier lifted her eyes.

"If it proves effective, I would like Miss Shangguan to dispatch people of the Sect of Taiyun to help my Phoenix Sect publicize this Kunpeng Sacred Body," Su Han said in a deep voice.
