Half an hour later.
Within the Golden Ocean.
Everything here gleamed gold. Top-Grade Spirit Stones lay exposed everywhere, without the slightest aura leaking from them. They were remarkably restrained, unlike ordinary spirit stones that brimmed with spiritual energy.
Rumble—
A golden tsunami surged through the distant sky, obscuring half the heavens. It was spectacular—and exceedingly dangerous!
Big Black Ox stood tall upon the sea. With merely a focused gaze, it had deployed a grand formation to shield them within. The turbulent Heaven and Earth Laws raging outside could not come anywhere near them.
It snorted in satisfaction, its nose incomparably moist. This top-grade mineral vein was simply not something cultivators could explore and dig up. It inherently carried a law of concealment...
Big Black Ox turned his head towards Chen Xun, hoping he would praise it. Yet who would have thought Chen Xun wore that absent-minded look again, as though something weighed upon his mind.
"Moo?!"
"What is it, Old Ox?"
Chen Xun looked into the distance and smiled faintly. "If we could bring Little Crimson here, us brothers would have work to do again. He loves digging up ownerless mineral veins most of all."
"Moo moo..." Big Black Ox laughed along with him, then casually asked, "Moo moo?"
"Soon." Chen Xun's expression became a shade more solemn, though a faint smile still hung from his lips. "Once we become immortals, no one in the Three Thousand Great Worlds will be able to stand against us. That is already the highest realm of the Immortal Dao."
"Moo..."
"Once the Immortal Alliance matter is settled, we should retire. Live quiet, ordinary lives and wait for the Boundless Myriad Races to ascend into the Immortal Realm. We will not involve ourselves in anything else."
Chen Xun lowered his eyes, his voice soft.
