Sword Qi Spanning Thirty Thousand Miles, One Sword's Cold Light Shining Across Nineteen Continents
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Chen Nianzhi did not delay any longer.
After handing over the Vast Sea to Chen Nianchuan and the others, he and Jiang Linglong rode their flying swords towards the Heavenly Hut Continent.
On the flying sword, the two opened Daoist Han Chuan Daoist Han Chuan's Storage Bag and began to examine his treasures.
As the lord of the Vast Sea, Daoist Han Chuan has occupied the Vast Sea for nearly three hundred years. Over the years, he has accumulated an extremely wealthy fortune through his Han Chuan Alliance.
However, after Daoist Han Chuan purchased the Earth Mother Qi, his wealth was already almost entirely gone.
Aside from a Nascent Soul inheritance and thirteen Han Chuan Immortal Swords, there were no other particularly valuable treasures in Daoist Han Chuan's Storage Ring.
There were quite a few Spirit Stone, more than a hundred million, which far exceeded Chen Nianzhi's expectations.
"This person only broke through to the Nascent Soul a few decades ago, how could he have so many Spirit Stone?"
Looking at the Spirit Stone in the Storage Bag, Chen Nianzhi asked with some doubt.
One hundred million Spirit Stone is no small sum. For the Chen Immortal Clan, the Lineage now controls several high-level Spirit Vein and Spirit Stone mines, and also operates a large number of businesses.
Their annual income is already comparable to that of most Nascent Soul Immortals, but it would probably take them several hundred years to accumulate one hundred million Spirit Stone.
The reason for this is that the Lineage cultivators' material stipends and the acquisition of the Five Elements Essence are huge expenses.
The annual salary expenditure of the Chen Immortal Clan exceeds one million Spirit Stone, and the expenditure on acquiring the Five Elements Essence for Chen Nianzhi also exceeds one million Spirit Stone.
Such enormous expenditures are like a bottomless pit, making it difficult for the Lineage to accumulate Spirit Stone.
However, these expenses are necessary. Without sufficient stipends, most of the Lineage's cultivators would perish on their Dao Path. Without the Five Elements Essence, Chen Nianzhi would not be able to continuously advance to the Spirit Treasure level.
In the future, he will also need to cultivate his Natal Great Divine Ability, which will consume at least tens of millions of Spirit Stone of the Five Elements Essence essence. It can be said that any Spirit Treasure and Divine Ability will be a gold-devouring behemoth, consuming an astonishing amount of resources.
For Daoist Han Chuan, who has just broken through to the Nascent Soul True Lord, cultivation consumes a tremendous amount of resources. How could he possibly accumulate hundreds of millions of Spirit Stone?
Chen Nianzhi thought for a long time, and with a few guesses in mind, she said with a cold laugh, "I think I understand."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Linglong's eyes flickered slightly.
Chen Nianzhi nodded. "The Qin Clan!"
Heavenly Hut Continent is not far from the Vast Sea, only a little over ten million miles away. The Mid-Rank Demon-Refining Immortal Sword can travel two million miles a day, and it only took a few days to reach the territory of the Heavenly Hut Continent.
"..."
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Hut Continent, the Yuan Kingdom.
In the midst of a majestic Spirit Mountain mountain, a gaunt figure opened his eyes.
This man was Qin Dukong, the patriarch of the Qin clan. At this moment, his brows were clouded with gloom, and a hint of unease flashed in his pupils.
A burly figure standing nearby, seeing this, asked with some confusion, "Brother, what's wrong with you today?"
"I feel inexplicably uneasy today; something seems wrong."
Qin Dukong stood up and suddenly began to pace back and forth in the main hall.
The burly figure was named Qin Duzun, the second ancestor of the Qin Clan and Chen Nianzhi's mother's killer.
Seeing his elder brother's strange expression, Qin Duzun quickly stood up and said, "Could it be that Chen Nianzhi has come to cause us trouble?"
"Still mentioning him."
Qin Dukong's expression changed slightly, and he said with some annoyance, "If you had dealt with things properly back then, how could you have created such an enemy?"
"You can't blame me for this," Qin Duzun said with a bitter smile, his voice filled with terror. "I had already been discovered by that supreme being. If I had made a forceful move, I probably wouldn't have been able to kill him, and I would have been reduced to ashes on the spot."
When the past was mentioned, Qin Duzun revealed a hint of fear.
The power of such Pure Yang Supreme Treasure is like Dao Lord descending upon the mortal realm. If it were to actually be destroyed, let alone someone who was Golden Core Grand Completion stage back then, even Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator would not be able to return alive.
Thinking of this, Qin Duzun said with some annoyance, "That Han Chuan is also a waste. He was ordered to capture Chen Changxuan and force Chen Nianzhi out, but he only managed to steal a Spirit Apricot Ancient Tree."
"If he had captured Chen Changxuan, we might have lured him out and killed him before Chen Nianzhi broke through to the Nascent Soul."
Thinking of Daoist Han Chuan, the Qin Clan clan members still gritted their teeth and said, "To get Han Chuan involved, we borrowed Spirit Stone that our Qin Clan had accumulated over ten Jiazi (60 years)."
"That's a whopping three hundred million Spirit Stone. Now that he hasn't been of any help, can we get those Spirit Stone back?"
"I'm afraid it won't work."
Qin Dukong shook his head and said helplessly, "Han Chuan's Spirit Isle has only advanced halfway, and he has probably already spent most of his Spirit Stone. At this point, he probably doesn't have any Spirit Stone left to return to us."
It turns out that the reason why Daoist Han Chuan broke ties with Chen Nianzhi was not only because of the Karmic Retribution from back then, but also because the Qin Immortal Clan offered a generous price.
The key reason why Daoist Han Chuan was able to cultivate Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein was that the Qin Immortal Clan provided him with a huge sum of Spirit Stone, helping him to advance to a Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein.
In exchange, the two sides formed an alliance to deal with Chen Nianzhi together.
Unfortunately, they underestimated Chen Nianzhi and his wife. Jiang Linglong's avatar had blocked Daoist Han Chuan back then, not to mention the two supreme treasures, the Sun and Sun-Moon Twin Wheels, which served as a deterrent.
Without abducting Chen Changxuan, Daoist Han Chuan and the Qin Clan's plan to lure them into a trap had failed.
Even so, they shouldn't have been completely at a disadvantage, after all, their strength was not weak.
However, after Chen Nianzhi and his wife obtained the Heavenly Dao Qi, the situation changed drastically. Even though they were just two newly awakened Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, they were completely suppressed and could only barely manage to hold their own even when trapped in the Spirit Mountain.
To their utter surprise, the two of them had actually forged the Daluo Nascent Soul. The strength of such Nascent Soul was extraordinary. Chen Nianzhi's attack was earth-shattering, killing Han Daoist Han Chuan.
At this moment, Qin Dukong had not yet received news of Daoist Han Chuan's death, but as someone who cultivated the Heavenly Secrets Mystical Art, he the Unseen sensed something unusual.
A sense of profound, the Unseen terror welled up within him, causing him to frown and feel a chill run down his spine.
Something's not right.
Sensing something was amiss, Qin Dukong took out a tortoise shell. This treasure was a divination tortoise shell, crafted from the shell of a spirit tortoise at the Demon Emperor realm, making it an extremely special celestial Spirit Treasure.
Qin Dukong initially delayed Chen Nianzhi, but found the heavenly secrets to be completely obscured, making it impossible to deduce the outcome.
"What a pity."
Qin Dukong sighed. Chen Nianzhi had multiple Spirit Treasure protecting him and had also cultivated the Heavenly Secrets Mystical Art. Without his birth date and Essence Blood, it was impossible to calculate his fate.
Left with no other choice, he had to settle for second best and began to calculate the fate of Daoist Han Chuan. The moment he did, his heart sank.
"Ominous! Extremely ominous! One chance of certain death!"
"Oh no!"
Qin Dukong's expression suddenly changed with horror. He raised his head suddenly and saw an extremely bright light tens of thousands of miles away, striking down across the distant sky and earth.
Sword Qi stretches across 30,000 miles, a single sword's light chills nineteen continents.
What a dazzling sword light it was! Even across tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, it was like Nine Heavens Milky Way slashing down from the heavens.
