"As for the commerce guilds, we should strip them of all their treasures. Our strength is not enough to manage Nine Cauldrons Pavilion and White Emperor Commerce."
After Fang Han settled the other matters, he discussed with Shen Fei, Jialan, and the others how to deal with Nine Cauldrons Pavilion and White Emperor Commerce. Both were powerful organizations with branches across numerous great worlds. Fang Han had no interest in running commerce guilds to make money. With the Wild God Key, he no longer lacked wealth, not to mention the Yellow Springs Treasure Trove that awaited him.
What Fang Han cared about were the guilds' channels. He wanted to use their influence to acquire materials that could advance the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasure. After the Eight Section Pagoda advanced to a semi-Supreme Dao Artifact, Fang Han began considering how to elevate the thirty-three mid-grade Dao artifacts of the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasure into high-grade Dao artifacts.
Fang Han harbored great ambitions. He wanted to turn both the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasure and the Eight Section Pagoda into Supreme Dao Artifacts, then combine them. Compared to the Eight Section Pagoda, however, the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasure was clearly much harder to advance. He had been extraordinarily lucky to seize a set already at the mid-grade Dao Artifact level from Kunpeng. Otherwise, forging them from scratch would undoubtedly have required an even greater price. Kunpeng had spent tens of thousands of years raising the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasure to mid-grade Dao Artifact rank.
Shen Fei had initially supported Fang Han's idea. He ran commerce guilds himself, after all. Not only could they obtain materials through them, but they could also serve as sources of intelligence. However, after considering the future situation and their present strength, Shen Fei suggested taking the money and running.
