Secretly Digging!

Planet!

The surface is entirely made of mid-grade Immortal Stone, the inner layer is made of high-grade crystals, and the innermost part is the planet's core, which is also a gathering place for immortal crystals!

Of course, it can't be that perfect. Even within the core, there might be some high-grade crystals mixed in, and even on the surface, there's a good chance of finding a celestial crystal! It's just a matter of probability; there's a 99% chance that the core contains a celestial crystal!

"Sigh, this immortal crystal has to be physically obtained before it can be stored in the Mustard Seed Space. It's so troublesome! So troublesome!" Zhang Xingfeng was furious.

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng lost his temper!

Yes, flames really did erupt, deep blue flames, emanating from the Heavenly Fire Armor on his body!

"Now that my body can emit blue flames, this Heavenly Fire Armor is still emitting deep blue flames. Has it reached its limit?" Zhang Xingfeng was astonished. The Old Man Huo had passed on the Saint Artifact and the Fire Origin Secret Canon to him that day, but he had forgotten to tell Zhang Xingfeng about this.

However, the deep blue Blazing Heavenly Fire is already capable of dealing with Immortal Crystals!

Zhang Xingfeng's body first shrank, shrank!

Then, on this boundless planet, he could find a place anywhere, pierce directly underground, and go deep into the depths! His deep blue, Blazing Heavenly Fire, a top-tier defensive artifact, was completely unafraid of all of this!

"Well, we've finally arrived!" Zhang Xingfeng looked at the countless immortal crystals around him and smiled. He had finally reached the core of this planet.

Zhang Xingfeng's body immediately began to grow larger and larger!

"Crunch..."

The immortal crystals were packed so tightly together that Zhang Xingfeng's Blazing Heavenly Fire had little effect. Although the crystals melted, they turned into water and still took up space. Zhang Xingfeng's enlarged body was mainly due to compression—compressing the immortal crystals around him!

"Stupid, so stupid! If I had just collected some immortal crystals, wouldn't the space have been much larger?" Zhang Xingfeng couldn't help but curse himself inwardly!

Do you know the mining efficiency of top-tier experts?

Zhang Xingfeng's hands moved with astonishing speed, as if hundreds of hands had appeared in an instant, frantically collecting the materials...

Pick, pick!

I'll keep harvesting!

As the space for gathering expanded, Zhang Xingfeng's body and hands also grew larger. Initially, he could only hold one immortal crystal in each hand, but now he can hold two at once!

Time for a cup of tea!

"Not bad, we've already collected over ten thousand pieces! The body is already four or five meters long!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a smile. "Yes, before they arrive, I need to hurry and collect as many as possible!"

The larger Zhang Xingfeng's body and hands are, the faster he can gather resources. The larger the space, the larger Zhang Xingfeng's body and hands become, and the faster he gathers resources...

"Hahaha, we've arrived! We've finally arrived! This is our Purple Cloud Realm! Everyone, prepare to begin collecting!" Ziwei laughed heartily. All the experts from the Purple Cloud Realm emerged from the Star Brilliance.

Ziwei's expression suddenly turned cold.

Because a Star Brilliance had appeared behind them. That Star Brilliance was piloted by Yang Lang, whose skill was slightly greater than Ziwei's. After such a long distance, they had finally caught up. As for the Azure Emperor and the others, they were still behind.

As the Azure Emperor said, "Go down and stop them, we'll be there right away! Don't let the Purple Cloud Realm get any more immortal crystals!"

Ziwei's expression suddenly changed. He could sense that Star Brilliance was moving faster than them. What did that mean? It meant that the person piloting Star Brilliance was more skilled than him.

Ziwei felt a surge of anxiety and turned to the Great Elder behind her, saying, "Elders, prepare the 'Universe Shift' (a magical artifact). If things go wrong, use the 'Universe Shift'."

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder behind him were immediately alarmed. Every time the "Universe Shift" was used, it required a ten-year rest period. If it was used to deal with the person currently piloting the Star Brilliance, and there were other experts from other forces nearby, then there would be no way to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with Li Qiang?" the Great Elder asked Ziwei.

Ziwei's expression changed instantly, because he realized that the Heavenly Emperor and others had emerged from the Star Brilliance. If he used the "Universe Shift" now, the experts from the Fengyuan Gate would arrive immediately, and no one would be able to withstand Li Qiang! For a moment, Ziwei was torn between two choices. He did not want to end up benefiting the Fengyuan Sect.

Moreover, each use of "Universe Shift" requires 810,000 immortal crystals, which is a huge sum. Even Ziwei has to be careful when using it!

"Who are you?" Ziwei asked Yang Lang coldly.

Yang Lang's aged voice rang out. "Ziwei, don't you even recognize me anymore? It seems that after surviving the Divine Tribulation, the gap between you and me has widened considerably!"

Ziwei looked at the person before her, then at the Heavenly Emperor, and suddenly a name popped into her mind. "Are you the previous Heavenly Emperor Yang Lang?"

"Exactly! Ziwei, if I tell your people to stop, do you expect me to do it myself?" Yang Lang said calmly.

At the same time, Yang Lang emitted a powerful aura, the aura of a god. In an instant, the experts of the Purple Cloud Realm felt a tremor in their hearts, especially those who were preparing to dive down and begin digging.

Ziwei waved her hand, stopping her subordinates. She took two steps forward and, as if addressing a senior, said, "Senior Yang Lang, why bother with those juniors? What brings you here, Senior Yang Lang? Do you intend to seize this planet from my Purple Cloud Realm?"

As Ziwei spoke, she looked at the glittering crystal at her feet.

Yang Lang smiled and said, "Does this planet belong to your Purple Cloud Realm? Hmph, if my Tianlong Sect wants to take this planet, you can't stop me!" As he spoke, Yang Lang's aura began to rise wildly!

Upon hearing this, Ziwei's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said in a cold voice, "Hmph, Yang Lang, my Purple Cloud Realm is not something your Tianlong Sect can afford to offend. No matter how powerful you are, can you deal with the number one formation of my Purple Cloud Realm by yourself?"

"Hahahaha... Hahahaha..." Upon hearing this, Yang Lang burst into laughter, his laughter echoing like thunder throughout the entire planet...

"What are you laughing at!" Ziwei's face turned cold as she shouted!

"I alone cannot deal with your first great formation!" Yang Lang said with a smile.

Ziwei's expression softened slightly. "It's good that you know. I imagine you don't want to be wiped out by the First Great Formation like this. Of course, if you cooperate with me Purple Cloud Realm, I can also give you 30% of the Immortal Crystals!"

"Thirty percent?" Yang Lang laughed upon hearing this...

"Ziwei, Ziwei, you really are generous, so generous! You, Purple Cloud Realm, took 70%, but only gave me 30%, hehe... You've got a good plan!" Yang Lang laughed, but there was no anger on his face.

"My Long Yi can't afford to offend your Purple Cloud Realm, but what if we add the Fengyuan Gate?" Yang Lang smiled brightly.

Ziwei was taken aback, but then smiled, "Fengyuan Gate? With Azure Emperor's power, it will probably take another two hours to arrive. Two hours is enough time to do a lot of things. What do you three elders say?"

The three elders behind Ziwei took the positions of the Three Talents, and they exuded an ancient aura, as if they came from the ancient Cultivation World, before the Immortal Realm was formed... Even Yang Lang was startled by that aura!

"The number one formation in the Immortal Realm?" Yang Lang's expression changed.

Ziwei nodded proudly.

Suddenly, a calm voice rang out.

"I didn't reach Fengyuan Gate, but I did. Ziwei, have you said enough?"

Ziwei's body trembled, and he turned around in disbelief. Behind him stood a person dressed in white, with slightly narrowed eyes and a faint smile on his face, looking at Ziwei! What shocked Ziwei the most was that a giant sword was floating above the white-clad person's head— the God-Slaying Saber!

"Li Qiang!"

Ziwei gritted her teeth; the thing she feared most had finally happened.

"How did you get here? How did you get here so quickly?" Ziwei asked.

Yang Lang then asked, "Can't Brother Li Qiang come with us?"

Ziwei's face immediately darkened, as if it were about to freeze. "Fengyuan Gate and your Tianlong Sect formed an alliance from the very beginning, didn't they?"

"You know perfectly well why you're asking!" the Heavenly Emperor said disdainfully.

"Alright, we won't bully you anymore. Here's the deal: my Tianlong Sect and the Fengyuan Gate will each take 35% of the Earth Immortal Crystals! You, Purple Cloud Realm, will take 30%! How about that? This is already giving you, Purple Cloud Realm, a lot of face. Don't be ungrateful!" the Heavenly Emperor said arrogantly.

Ziwei gritted his teeth. The situation was indeed unfavorable to him. In front of him was the divine being Yang Lang, and behind him was Li Qiang, who possessed Saint Artifact. Their "Universe Shift" technique could only deal with one person. If the two experts acted quickly, even one person in the Purple Cloud Realm might not be able to handle them!

"Okay! I agree!" Ziwei gritted her teeth and agreed.

Li Qiang and the Heavenly Emperor Yang Lang laughed...

Inside the Earth's core!

"Idiot, I'm so stupid! Don't I have the ever-changing Rou Jin? Why did I still use my hands like this in such a primitive way? How stupid! What a waste of time! We've collected 100,000 pieces now. If we had used Rou Jin, it would probably be worth 1 million!" Zhang Xingfeng cursed himself.

He was so excited when he saw the immortal crystal that he forgot about his own Rou Jin!

The moment the Rou Jin touched him, it began to change, growing larger and larger. The artifact was hard and could not be compressed, not to mention that Zhang Xingfeng was not purely a matter of increasing size!

First, he shaped the Rou Jin into a thin, flat shape, like a fine blade, and inserted it into the immortal crystal. Then he made the Rou Jin grow larger and larger! Then he made the Rou Jin turn, forming a spoon shape!

"Haha, this big spoonful is probably worth ten thousand yuan! That's great, that's great! Rou Jin is just too good!" Zhang Xingfeng exclaimed excitedly as he put the entire spoonful of immortal crystals into his Mustard Seed Space.

Zhang Xingfeng's speed increased by nearly a hundred times in this way!

That huge spoonful would take so many immortal crystals! Ten spoonfuls would be 100,000 immortal crystals!

At this moment, the Azure Emperor and the others also arrived!

"Alright, everyone's here. Let's get ready to enter the Earth's core and begin excavation!" Yang Lang said with a smile.

The Azure Emperor, Ziwei, and the others nodded. Then, the three Immortal Emperors' forces all shrank in size and began to rush towards the Earth's core as if digging tunnels!

Teleportation? Is that possible?

With so many immortal crystals and such immense energy, it's impossible to Teleportation randomly here, as excessive energy would affect spatial stability during Teleportation.

One by one, the experts have all gone down!

"Ziwei, this area is your territory. Yuanmu, this area is your territory. This is my Tianlong Sect's territory, and it's all according to the agreed-upon proportions. Everyone, remember, if other forces come, we must unite against them. Ziwei, Li Qiang, and I, the three of us, don't need to mine immortal crystals. We should prepare to deal with those experts. By the way, Ziwei, your Great Elder shouldn't mine either. Prepare your first great formation! I believe that with this, other forces will be unable to shake us!" Yang Lang announced.

As expected of the previous Heavenly Emperor, he allocated the regions completely in one go.

However, no one knew that Yang Lang had ulterior motives. Yang Lang's Divine Sense was Divine Sense of a god, far more Divine Sense than Zhang Xingfeng's. He had long since discovered Zhang Xingfeng's excavation, so he arranged for the border between Fengyuan Gate and Ziwei's territories to be the very place where Zhang Xingfeng was collecting materials!

"I hope that kid digs up a lot, hehe, so that Fengyuan Gate and Purple Cloud Realm have less immortal crystals. Oh, not bad, that kid is fast! Hehe, great, the more he digs up, the less those two sects have!" Yang Lang chuckled to himself.

"Alright, that's settled then. It doesn't matter which area it is, as long as the proportions are right!" the Azure Emperor said with a smile, glancing at the size of the area before nodding.

Ziwei also carefully observed the model of the earth's core formed by Divine Essence Power in Yang Lang's hand and nodded.

Since both the Azure Emperor and Ziwei nodded in agreement, everything was fine! The Azure Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor immediately dispatched their forces to their respective areas and began excavating!

"Everyone, start collecting! Speed it up! Hmph, soon all the major forces will arrive. Those hidden forces are quite formidable. Hmph, we can take advantage of the chaos and dig more in their areas, but first, they must completely destroy our own territory!" Ziwei transmitted her thoughts.

He dared not speak loudly, for it would be disastrous if the Azure Emperor and Yang Lang discovered it.

However, it wasn't just him; the Azure Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor were also urging their men to dig quickly. Once they were done, they could take advantage of the chaos caused by the arrival of so many other forces!

"Be careful, be careful, don't get discovered!" Zhang Xingfeng was terrified. He relied on his Divine Sense to avoid other people digging for immortal crystals. Fortunately, the planet's core was very large, so he was able to avoid one person and dig in peace for a long time!

"This is strange, how come there's a big hole here?" An Immortal Monarch at the Purple Cloud Realm looked at the place Zhang Xingfeng had dug and was puzzled! But he immediately shook his head and said, "The formation of planets is very mysterious. What's impossible inside the Earth's core? I'll just keep digging! The more I dig, the more rewards the Emperor will give!"

However, the speed of the Azure Emperor was really not fast!

Their men only dug for half an hour!

The Four Sects of the Immortal Realm, Gourd Venerable, Huangyan True Person have all arrived...
