Of course, collecting treasures required transporters. I had never seen any large flying vessels in the Ancient God Realm. Apparently, after the war of the Great Calamity, the warship model popular in the Five Great Worlds had fallen out of use here. The Five Great Worlds had Immortal Qi Discs to rely on, but only primordial qi could be used here. Without mineral refinement, it was fundamentally impossible to produce something as high-end as an Immortal Qi Disc.
So the task of transporting the large, heavy treasures fell to the three large wild beasts we had just subdued, each at the Seventh Tribulation. Even so, they still couldn't move the enormous hoard of the Great Immortal Toad. I estimated that although the things accumulated over the past thousand-odd years varied greatly in quality, their sheer quantity was beyond anything we had obtained through previous raids or trades. There were also many precious materials—some small enough to refine into magical treasures, while the larger ones could even be used to build a sect.
But even with the elites of the Heaven's Unity Sect, we still didn't have enough manpower to complete the task. It was obvious that the Catfish Spirit's many trips weren't because it was unable to bear the burden. We had secretly and urgently dispatched quite a number of people to transport the materials.
