Wooden Sword

"Sect Master, we have taken over the entire Underworld Province. A total of 630 forces have submitted. As you instructed, we only took a portion of their wealth, and they still come to pay tribute every year."

Yin Corpse Sect, inside the main hall.

Liu Qian took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Chen Feng.

At this moment, the main hall was filled with high-ranking members of the Xingfeng Sect and several Spirit Transformation cultivators from Canglan Star.

After half a month of conquest, they have now conquered the continent of Mingzhou, and it is time to reap the rewards.

Everyone was extremely excited.

For both the people of the Xingfeng Sect and the Nascent Spirit Transformation of Canglan Star, the gains this time were enormous.

The entire Underworld Continent is incredibly vast, and its resources are countless.

Everyone knows that Chen Feng is always fair, and anyone who has made a contribution will receive the reward they deserve.

But compared to these people, everyone looked at Chen Feng with a sense of awe.

Although no one witnessed Chen Feng's battle with the Void Refinement cultivators of the Yin Corpse Sect, they did receive news from Chen Feng Chen Feng that he had dealt with all the Void Refinement cultivators of the Yin Corpse Sect.

This shocked everyone, as the Yin Corpse Sect had several Void Refinement experts, including two late-stage Void Refinement cultivators.

This lineup had previously put them under immense pressure.

But as soon as Chen Feng arrived, the big problem they had in mind was easily solved, and he even conquered the Mingzhou Continent, a result that no one had ever dared to imagine before.

Chen Feng, seated at the head of the table, took the Jade Slip and glanced at it.

It contains a list of the treasures acquired this time.

Even a single glance made Chen Feng's heart skip a beat.

The amount of top-grade Spirit Stone obtained from this plundering of the Underworld Continent alone is nearly one billion.

One billion.

Chen Feng almost misread the number; it was far beyond his expectations.

It should be noted that this only represents less than 30% of the wealth plundered from the forces of the Underworld Continent.

The reason he didn't loot everything was also due to considerations for future development; Chen Feng didn't like to do things like draining the pond to catch all the fish.

If these forces were allowed to remain on the continent of Mingzhou, the annual tribute they would pay to the Xingfeng Sect would amount to an astronomical sum.

This only includes the looted wealth; the various Spirit Vein and Spirit Stone mines of the Underworld Continent are not even included.

"War is still the fastest way to make money," Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh.

The Mingzhou Continent is merely a peripheral continent within the Dinghai Star Region; there are countless other continents like it throughout the entire Dinghai Star Region.

Chen Feng found it amusing to think about how he used to worry about earning Spirit Stone.

Compared to Spirit Stone, there are far fewer yuan stones, only 100,000.

This is also because the strongest forces in the Underworld Continent are only at the Spirit Transformation, and Spirit Transformation cultivators can only possess a very small number of spirit stones.

Half of these 100,000 Yuan Stones were obtained from the Yin Corpse Sect's treasury.

But Chen Feng was not disappointed, because he still had several Refined Void Primordial Spirit in his possession. As long as he forced them to open their Mustard Seed Space, they would definitely not lack Yuan Stones.

For a powerful force like the Yin Corpse Sect, their most precious items would definitely be stored in the mustard seed spaces of a few Void Refinement cultivators.

Chen Feng looked at Liu Qian and said:

Have all the contribution points been distributed?

Liu Qian said, "Taiyi is calculating and compiling the statistics; the results should be available within three days."

The contribution points distributed by the Xingfeng Sect this time will be a huge number.

However, now that Xingfeng Sect has absorbed resources from the Underworld Continent, distributing more contribution points is not a problem.

The resources in the Xingfeng Sect's treasury have increased more than a hundredfold compared to before, enough for everyone to exchange.

Chen Feng then looked at Yun Qingjue and the others.

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work over the past two years."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Nangong Wentian immediately said, "Sect Leader Chen, protecting Canglan Star is also our responsibility. It's nothing difficult."

Yun Qingjue nodded, "Yes, we didn't actually do much."

The contribution points distributed by the Xingfeng Sect this time are not just for the members of the Xingfeng Sect; Yun Qingjue and the others will also receive a generous amount of contribution points.

After all, this attack on the Mingzhou Continent was not only participated in by cultivators from the Xingfeng Sect, but also by cultivators from other forces on Canglan Star.

Distributing contribution points uniformly is the safest approach.

These people can use their contribution points to exchange for items at the Xingfeng Sect's treasury.

However, the items they can exchange are very limited; they cannot exchange for resources and treasures at the Refinement Void level.

Such precious items can only be exchanged by core members of the Xingfeng Sect, or at least by elders.

Chen Feng looked at the group and said:

"You all contributed a great deal this time. In addition to the original contribution points reward, I will give you some separate rewards. Now I will give you two choices."

Chen Feng had already learned from Liu Qian that if it weren't for the fierce battle fought by Yun Qingjue and a few other Spirit Transformation cultivators over the past two years, Xingfeng Sect wouldn't have been able to hold out for even two years.

In particular, antimatter weapons can only deter those at the Nascent Soul stage if used by Spirit Transformation cultivators.

Therefore, Chen Feng decided to reward the group individually.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingjue and the others immediately sat up straight; the reward Chen Feng gave them must be extraordinary.

Chen Feng slowly said:

"First, I will give each of you some treasures and resources that will help your cultivation, including but not limited to spiritual objects that help you comprehend the Principle. Second, you can choose a territory in the Underworld Continent to develop your power there. Our Xingfeng Sect will not interfere and will even provide support. The Spirit Vein and Spirit Stone mines on that territory will all belong to you."

Chen Feng's choice was simple: one was for one's own cultivation, and the other was for power.

As for how to choose, that's up to them.

After hearing Chen Feng's words, everyone in the room began to breathe rapidly.

Especially Yun Qingjue, who is already at the peak of the Spirit Transformation and has even comprehended the Principle. If she can obtain a spiritual object, she might have a chance to break through to the Void Refinement stage.

Nangong Wentian was the first to speak:

"I want a piece of land!"

Everyone looked at Nangong Wentian with some surprise, clearly not expecting him to make such a choice.

Nangong Wentian said with a wry smile:

"My talent has already reached the pinnacle of the Spirit Transformation. Even if I obtain a spiritual treasure, I still won't be able to break through to the Void Refinement stage. It's better to leave a legacy for future generations."

Nangong Wentian had absolutely no hope of breaking through to the Void Refinement stage.

Choosing a territory to develop will surely make their Great Zhou Dynasty even stronger in the future, and with territory, their descendants will not lack Cultivation Resources.

Perhaps no one in his generation can break through to the Void Refinement stage, but what about the next generation?

Everyone immediately understood what Nangong Wentian meant.

Soon, many people expressed their opinions, and Yun Qingjue and You Luan chose the spiritual items they wanted to use to break through to the Void Refinement stage.

As for the others, they all chose to acquire a piece of land to develop.

The Spirit Transformation of the Xingfeng Sect did not speak. Their rewards were all contribution points, but because they had sufficient authority, they could directly exchange them for whatever they wanted in the treasure vault.

After everyone had expressed their opinions, Chen Feng dismissed Yun Qingjue and the others, saying that Liu Qian would make arrangements for the treasures and territory later.

Soon, only the high-ranking members of the Xingfeng Sect remained in the main hall.

Jiang Bohan then spoke up, "Sect Master, although we have already taken over the Underworld Continent, the Thunder Continent is not far from us. The Thunder Palace and the Yin Corpse Sect have cooperated before. Should we send someone over to monitor them?"

Jiang Bohan was not blinded by victory. As the commander of Wangyue City, he was very capable of leading troops.

He also played a significant role in this major battle.

Ge Yunxuan, sitting on the other side, nodded in agreement. "Elder Jiang is right. The Thunder Continent is stronger than the Underworld Continent. If they launch an attack, it will be a big problem for us. We must prepare as soon as possible."

Chen Feng glanced at the group and then said:

"I forgot to tell you something: Thunder Palace has become our ally and will not attack us."

Upon hearing this, the senior members of the Xingfeng Sect present were completely stunned.

How come we suddenly have an ally?

Wang Hu's mechanical eyes instantly enlarged, looking like two light bulbs.

"Sect Master, what exactly is going on?"

The others also looked at Chen Feng, waiting for his explanation.

Chen Feng said:

"It's simple. The Lord of the Thunder Palace thinks I'm very strong and admires me, so he chose to ally with us. We can skip this topic."

Chen Feng didn't reveal that he was controlling Qiong Lei Zi; there was no point in telling Liu Qian and the others about it.

Jiang Bohan then said with a smile:

"In that case, the threat is eliminated. Our next step is to deploy a defense system across the Underworld Continent and establish a branch here."

Liu Qian nodded. "I'm already preparing for the establishment of the branch. To facilitate communication between Canglan Star and the Underworld Continent, I plan to first redirect Canglan Star's engines, moving it to the vicinity of the Thirty-One Star Vortex."

Previously, in order to avoid the Yin Corpse Sect, Canglan Star had been staying away from the Thirty-One Star Vortex. Now that the crisis has been resolved and the Underworld Continent has been taken over, it is natural to let Canglan Star return.

Chen Feng said:

"Although we have conquered the Underworld Continent, it doesn't mean we are safe. The situation in the Dinghai Star Region is very complicated."

Chen Feng briefly recounted the information he had obtained from Qiong Leizi.

He needed to explain the current situation to Liu Qian and the others.

Everyone's expressions turned serious after hearing Chen Feng's words.

"It seems this star field is even more complex than the Weiyang Star Field." Liu Qian's voice was somewhat low.

"Don't worry too much. As long as we don't continue to expand outwards, everything will be fine. You can discuss the rest yourselves. I'll be leaving now."

Chen Feng looked at everyone and spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall immediately stood up. "Respectfully seeing off the Sect Master!"

After they finished speaking, Chen Feng's figure had already disappeared from the main seat.

The Yin Corpse Sect, a secret location.

This place was originally Ming Zhouzi's cultivation site, but now it has become Chen Feng's temporary cave abode.

After arriving here, Chen Feng released all the refined Primordial Spirit from the Soul Wood Box.

There are a total of six Primordial Spirit, five of whom are from the Yin Corpse Sect and one from the Thunder Palace.

Although Chen Feng has subdued Qiong Leizi, it doesn't mean he will let Shen Qingyue go. Moreover, he has already crippled this woman, and even if she recovers her cultivation level, it will drop.

It's no longer of any value.

As soon as the several Primordial Spirit appeared, they immediately began to threaten Chen Feng.

"Chen Beijing, my Yin Corpse Sect is a subordinate force of the Six Holy Sons. If we die here, the Six Holy Sons will not let you go!"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, spare my life! I am willing to acknowledge you as my master. Please grant me a way out."

"."

Threats and pleas for mercy were used in various ways, but Chen Feng found it annoying and simply blocked out their voices.

He immediately used the power of the stars to cover the group.

Soon, shrill screams came from the mouths of several people, but because the sound was blocked, Chen Feng couldn't hear them at all.

While Chen Feng was torturing the group, he was also thinking about other things.

Two weeks ago, Qiong Leizi told him a lot of information he didn't know.

Among them is the Immortal Realm Secret Realm that was recently opened in the Dinghai Star Region.

The Immortal Realm Secret Realm opens once every ten thousand years, containing fortuitous opportunity achieving Dao.

Therefore, every ten thousand years, powerful figures from surrounding star regions would flock to the Dinghai Star Region, all for this Immortal Realm Secret Realm.

The Dinghai Starfield is controlled by the Haicha Clan, and there are almost no forces in the surrounding starfields that can rival them.

Furthermore, the Sea Fork Clan acts tyrannically, and simply does not allow cultivators from other star regions to enter the Immortal Realm Secret Realm.

Therefore, every time the Immortal Realm Secret Realm opens, powerful individuals will risk forcibly enter the Central Star Sea.

As for the Yin Corpse Sect and the Thunder Palace, they were specifically there to help the Sea Fork Clan resist forces from outside the region; the Xingfeng Sect was simply caught up in it.

Chen Feng didn't care much about this celestial realm.

He wouldn't risk exploring secret realms unless absolutely necessary.

Wouldn't it be better to just stay home and cultivate oneself quietly?

"We're just waiting for news from Qiong Leizi."

Qiong Leizi has already contacted the Five Holy Maidens, making Xingfeng Sect a vassal force of them, so that they don't have to worry about being targeted by the Sixth Holy Son.

Chen Feng has no desire to wage war against a behemoth like the Sea Fork Clan right now; buying time to cultivate is the safest course of action.

Just then, Chen Feng suddenly sensed that the several Primordial Spirit in front of him seemed to be begging for mercy, but he hadn't noticed them before because he was thinking about something.

Chen Feng waved his right hand, disabling the soundproofing, and then said:

"Open the Mustard Seed Space!"

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Feng looked at the dazzling array of items in front of him and remained silent.

Rich!

They're incredibly rich.

The six Void Refinement cultivators possessed a combined total of over 300,000 spirit stones, several times more than the total number of Void Refinement cultivators in the Weiyang Star Region.

The regions here are different. Compared to the Void Refinement experts in the Dinghai Star Region, the Void Refinement experts in the Weiyang Star Region are like country bumpkins.

Besides the spirit stones, these people also possessed many precious spiritual items and treasures.

Among them are more than a dozen spiritual objects that help Spirit Transformation comprehend the Principle, including eight top-tier Innate Spirit Treasure.

The only quasi-heavenly treasure was the coffin, but due to the previous great battle, only a pile of fragments remained.

Chen Feng felt it was a bit of a pity, as this thing was incredibly powerful. He had been bound by that Yin Qi, and he wouldn't have been able to break free if he hadn't activated the full power of the star array.

Even a peak Void Refinement cultivator could easily restrain this near-heavenly treasure, but unfortunately, it encountered him.

Chen Feng picked up the fragment and prepared to put it into his storage ring.

But just then, he suddenly sensed that something inside his storage ring seemed to be trembling.

Chen Feng was taken aback. He immediately began searching inside his storage ring. After searching for a long time, he finally found the source of the tremor in an inconspicuous corner.

It was a wooden sword.

"It's actually this thing." Chen Feng was surprised; he had obtained this item a long time ago.

It was obtained from a cave abode of a cunning and treacherous man, at a time when he had a conflict with several Golden Core cultivators.

He obtained the wooden sword automatically but never figured out how to use it.

The wooden sword did react after I acquired a bronze fragment at an auction, but it hasn't moved since.

As his cultivation level improved, he stopped paying attention to the wooden sword and simply left it to gather dust in a corner.

Now the wooden sword has started to move again, and this movement is clearly due to the fragment of the near-heavenly treasure in his hand.
