Financial Freedom!

"Did he commit suicide?" Zhou Hao was astonished as he looked at Heavenly Immortal Xuanji, who had even deliberately destroyed his Heavenly Immortal Golden Core.

How noble are celestial beings?

Transcending the Three Realms and being outside the Five Elements—that is the realm that countless cultivators dream of!

You just give up like that?

Even if the soul and true spirit of the Heavenly Immortal Xuanji could reincarnate, to fully recover the memories of his past life, he would probably have to cultivate to the Earth Immortal of the Void Return to have any hope of fully awakening.

The stronger a reincarnated immortal was in their previous life, the harder it was for them to awaken.

But by then, having the memories of the next life, whether he can still be considered Heavenly Immortal Xuanji is another matter entirely.

"That's ruthless," Zhou Hao sighed inwardly.

Being ruthless to others is nothing special; being ruthless to yourself is what truly makes someone ruthless.

Zhou Hao had never taken Heavenly Immortal Xuanji seriously before, but now he was looking at him with new respect.

"Fellow Mu Yang Muyang, my Shaoyan Clan admits defeat. Xuanji has also destroyed his own Golden Core. Your disciples even stole a Shaoyan Clan one magic treasure, the Divine Bell, and a pair of pure Yang grade one magic treasures, the Copper Cymbals... Is this concession enough to explain yourself to you?" Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal was furious.

"You may leave now," Patriarch Mu Yang nodded gently.

Given his status, forcing Shaoyan Clan to hand over the person could be seen as seeking justice for his disciples.

Now that Xuanji has willingly died, leaving only his soul and spirit, it would be too much to ask Poison Ugly to hand over his soul as well, insisting on destroying both his body and soul. That would only push Poison Ugly relentlessly.

Since they couldn't completely eliminate Poison Ugly, killing just one of his clones wouldn't help.

As Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal felt the surrounding spatial fluctuations return to normal and the killing intent locked onto him by Patriarch Mu Yang dissipate, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It must be said that, given the current situation, Heavenly Immortal Xuanji's self-destruction of his golden core and his voluntary death can be seen as giving himself a way out.

Looking at Xuanji, who was now only a soul and spirit, the Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal's anger towards him vanished, and he instead felt a sense of guilt.

"Xuanji, rest assured to reincarnate in the Netherworld. When you are reincarnated and return to the Shaoyan Clan, I will personally guide and nurture you," the Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal said solemnly.

If it were the Netherworld of the past, all ten Kings of Hell would be Pure Yang True Immortal. His title of Shaoyan Chou would not be enough; he would have to ask the Xia Emperor for a golden decree for reincarnation.

Now that the Six Paths of Reincarnation have collapsed and the former Netherworld is gone, the dozens of great worlds within the Crimsonbright Domain, such as the Xia Clan Great World, are all small-scale Netherworlds rebuilt by the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor, responsible for the reincarnation of souls and true spirits.

The new Ten Kings of Hell in the small underworld are only celestial beings, so they have to give Shaoyan Chou some face. It's not difficult to arrange for Heavenly Immortal Xuanji to reincarnate back into the Shaoyan Clan.

"Thank you, Ancestor," the soul of Heavenly Immortal Xuanji said respectfully. "However, before I reincarnate, there is still one thing I cannot let go of."

"What is it?" Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal's heart skipped a beat. "Is it because of the murder of your beloved junior Shaoyan Nong?"

"Indeed," Heavenly Immortal Xuanji. "Once I leave, I don't know when I will be able to fully recover my memories. Ji Ning killed Nong'er, and I cannot avenge him myself. I beg the Ancestor to help me fulfill this wish."

The death of Shaoyan Nong was a major event for him, but for the entire Shaoyan Clan, it was just a trivial matter.

If I die, with no one to urge me on, who will be willing to wholeheartedly avenge Shaoyan Nong?

It's likely that this matter will simply fade away in a few years.

As for Zhou Hao, he not only stole the clan's treasure but also embarrassed the ancestor. Heavenly Immortal Xuanji knew that even if he didn't say anything, the ancestor would not let the matter rest if he wanted revenge.

If the patriarch ultimately chooses to let things rest because of True Immortal Mu Yang, then it would be futile for him to bring it up again. It would be better to remain silent and let the clan kill Ji Ning for him.

Compared to Zhou Hao, Ji Ning, who has no status or background, is much easier to deal with.

"Black Rain." Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal looked at the bald man beside him Black Rain Heavenly Immortal, "I'm entrusting this matter that Xuanji mentioned to you. No matter what, the killing of my Shaoyan Clan's next patriarch cannot be let go."

"Yes, Ancestor," Black Rain Heavenly Immortal assured, "Brother Xuanji, rest assured, I will definitely make that brat named Ji Ning's soul be scattered and never be reincarnated."

"In that case, this disciple will depart." Heavenly Immortal Xuanji nodded, no longer resisting the pull of the unseen force.

Wow!

His humanoid soul transformed into a stream of light and flew directly towards the small cycle of reincarnation.

"Let's go." Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal gave Zhou Hao a cold look, waved his whisk, and led Black Rain Heavenly Immortal and Golden Cloud Heavenly Immortal to the Small Reincarnation.

"Zhou Hao, you'd better be careful of this Poison Ugly in the future," Liang Jin warned.

Before leaving, the Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal gave Zhou Hao a chilling look, which they all naturally noticed.

"I should be wary of him?" Zhou Hao laughed. "If the Shaoyan Clan still wants to send me magic treasures, I'll gladly accept as many as they want."

The precious materials needed for the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade to transform into an innate spiritual treasure had originally been a source of worry for him, but now, thanks to the Shaoyan Clan's 'generosity,' the problem was solved in an instant.

Once the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade becomes an innate spiritual treasure, even if I am only at the Void Return Realm, I will be able to refine and control it.

At that time, who will be afraid of a mere ugly, Poison Ugly Heavenly Immortal who relies on poisonous insects?

"You little rascal," Liang Jin chuckled.

"Zhou Hao is right. If you ambush the Shaoyan Clan again next time, don't forget to call me." Mystic Turtle Immortal shook his head, extremely pleased.

Before the Kong Fang asked them to help, they had agreed to split the benefits equally.

A pure Yang grade one magic treasure, the Divine Bell, and a pair of pure Yang grade one magic treasures, the Bronze Cymbals... Goodness, that's enough to increase their wealth dozens of times over.

"You bunch of bastards, you're just stirring up trouble." Patriarch Mu Yang shook his head, waved his hand to envelop everyone, and directly tore open space, heading towards the Profound Heaven Realm.

Upon returning to the sect, Patriarch Mu Yang departed alone, while Zhou Hao, Celestial Immortal Liang Jin, Celestial Immortal Kong Fang, and Mystic Turtle Immortal gathered at the Thousand Treasures Hall.

They started dividing the spoils, uh, the treasures.

"We have four of these two magical treasures. Does anyone want them? If so, just offer a treasure of equal value to the others, and you can keep them." Kong Fang Fangtianxian was the initiator of this operation and also the master of the Thousand Treasures Hall. Distributing treasures on his territory was naturally his responsibility.

"The cymbals are fine, but who can offer so many treasures as compensation for that Golden Bell?" Liang Jin shook her head. "Let's sell it to the Thousand Treasures Hall Thousand Treasures Hall, and then we can exchange it for what we need."

Zhou Hao and the Mystic Turtle Immortal both nodded in agreement.

According to the value of the treasure.

Generally speaking, one pure Yang-grade magic weapon is equivalent to one thousand top-grade immortal magic weapons. This is a general estimate, not an absolute value. After all, even pure Yang-grade magic weapons can have different values.

So many top-grade immortal-level magic treasures—it's terrifying to even think about. Thousand Treasures Hall and Tianbao Mountain, which specialize in collecting treasures for the Mysterious Heaven Sect and the Great Xia Dynasty, could produce such items.

"Furthermore," Liang Jin added, "The fact that this trip went so smoothly, even with the arrival of the Shaoyan Patriarch Poison Ugly himself, was a complete failure, and he even lost a Celestial Immortal, is all because we have a sect behind us and Patriarch Mu Yang backing us up. Especially with Patriarch Mu Yang's intervention at the end, we were able to safely divide the treasures here. If you ask me, this time we should divide it into five parts and set aside one part for the Ancestor."

"Um."

"That's exactly right."

"Agree."

Zhou Hao and the others nodded in agreement.

This time, Patriarch Mu Yang also took action personally. However, given his status as an ancestor, he naturally wouldn't concern himself with the gains and losses of treasures from these juniors.

But they still need to do something to show their support.

"Alright, in that case, I will accept these two magic treasures on behalf of the Thousand Treasures Hall," said Kong Fang. "That bronze cymbal is only average among mid-grade pure Yang magic treasures, even if it were worth ten top-grade immortal magic treasures."

"As for the Golden Bell, since it is regarded as the clan's treasure by the Shaoyan Clan, its value is among the top of the pure Yang grade magic treasures, even if it is considered as one of the twelve hundred immortal-grade top-grade magic treasures."

"In this way, the two magic treasures are equivalent to 1,210 top-grade immortal-level magic treasures. If divided into five parts, each of us would have... 242 top-grade immortal-level magic treasures."

call.

Even though they were mentally prepared, the three people and the tortoise still couldn't help but breathe rapidly when they heard that each of them would receive 242 top-grade immortal magic treasures.

A single thought kept churning in Zhou Hao's mind.

"Finally, I'm free from financial and material constraints, and I'm free from the magic weapons!"
