Chapter 1131: The Feeling of Having a Treasure at Home!
As Su Yi and Feng Qier conversed, sudden, dramatic changes erupted where Su Xiaoshuai stood.
The colorful cocoon burst with splashes of light, gradually dissipating like flowing water!
The massive silhouette of a phoenix lingered in the empty space, no longer vague, but growing increasingly solid.
“Goo…”
A piercing cry reverberated through the void as a divine bird, its wings capable of slicing gold and shattering stone, soared skyward, piercing the veil of colorful light and ascending into the clouds!
This divine bird bore a blazing mantle of flames across its body, materializing as if from nowhere!
“Boom…”
In an instant, divine light flooded the sky, accompanied by the resounding roar of wind and thunder.
The divine bird surged upward and fused seamlessly with the phoenix’s phantom!
“Buzz, buzz…”
A fearsome pressure swelled rapidly in the void, radiating a formidable and majestic aura.
Flames engulfed the surrounding emptiness, and the bird’s eyes blazed like twin seas of fire—two rising suns gazing down upon the world. The terrifying presence was astounding.
“Wow, the little handsome one has a mighty presence!”
Su Yi and Feng Qier stood dumbfounded. Su Xiaoshuai had broken through to the Demonic Emperor Realm, and his aura was utterly daunting.
This level of power far surpassed that of an ordinary Demonic Emperor Realm cultivator.
“Gurgle…”
Another phoenix cry rang out. Moments later, the divine bird circled the void for several loops, its form steadily shrinking. Then, like a bolt of lightning, it descended directly before Su Yi and Feng Qier.
“Boss!”
Su Xiaoshuai flapped his wings and gazed calmly at Su Yi.
“Not bad—you broke through so quickly!” Su Yi said with a smile.
He observed Su Xiaoshuai before him: all the colorful light had subsided, and he’d returned to his unassuming appearance, drawing little attention.
Yet, upon closer inspection, the invisible Emperor’s aura enveloping him had grown far stronger than before!
“What’s the big deal? I just reached the second grade of the Demonic Emperor Realm,” Su Xiaoshuai said dismissively, his tone light.
Su Yi promptly rolled his eyes. This little guy was truly exceptional, treating the Demonic Emperor Realm as trivial.
Indeed, his bloodline was extraordinarily potent. Such breakthroughs came naturally to Su Xiaoshuai.
At the very least, Su Yi had never seen him train. While others secluded themselves in cultivation, Su Xiaoshuai would deem it dull and wander off in search of amusement.
Compared to other birds, the disparity was vast—frustratingly so!
As they spoke, a great commotion arose from where the Purple Elephant Emperor, Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor, and Xuan Turtle Emperor stood.
“Hoo hoo hoo…”
The trio exuded a formidable aura, deep as an abyss and vast as the sea!
“Roar…”
A series of low roars echoed forth as the silhouettes of the Purple Fire Mad Elephant, Gray Dragon Rhinoceros, and Heavenly Dark Armor Turtle—three majestic demon beasts—emerged, radiating the regal might of kings.
Soon after, the energy surrounding these beasts faded, and the boundless light dispersed, revealing three figures.
“Have you all successfully broken through?”
Spotting them, Su Yi couldn’t help but approach with a smile and inquire.
“Thank you, Master!”
Upon seeing Su Yi draw near, the Purple Elephant Emperor, Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor, and Xuan Turtle Emperor immediately bowed, speaking to him with excitement.
The opportunity they’d seized this time exceeded their wildest expectations!
In such a short span, their strength had surged dramatically!
At that moment, all three Beast Emperors had attained the fifth level of the Demonic Emperor Realm, with the Xuan Turtle Emperor even reaching the peak of the fifth grade, nearing the sixth. They now surpassed the original Soul Devouring Emperor’s breakthrough!
“Please rise. We’re all on the same side now—there’s no need for such formality,” Su Yi said, his heart brimming with joy. Today brought an abundance of good tidings.
The strength of these three Beast Emperors rivaled that of the Green Emperor, Yin-Yang Dark Emperor, and Soul Devouring Emperor—a trio of mighty forces!
Currently, the Green Emperor, Purple Elephant Emperor, and Su Yi were all engaged in closed-door training, bolstering Su Yi’s confidence for their impending plans.
“Oh, they…”
Shortly after, the three members of the Purple Elephant Emperor’s group noticed the Green Emperor’s trio meditating with closed eyes in the distance, a sight that surprised them.
“They’re about to break through again, so they’ve entered closed-door training. For now, you’ll follow me for our operations!” Su Yi explained.
Yet, when his words reached the ears of the Purple Elephant Emperor’s trio, they each wore a helpless, wry smile.
They’d initially thought that, with this breakthrough, their strength would match the three Beast Emperors, allowing for a proper contest.
These three vividly recalled how miserably they’d been handled before—memories that still sent chills down their spines.
Though they now served the same leader, such humiliation demanded retribution for satisfaction. But now, with another breakthrough imminent for their rivals, was “revenge” truly out of reach?
The three Beast Emperors felt disheartened. This was the advantage of joining their master earlier!
“Let’s go—we have important matters to attend to!”
Su Yi spoke again, then led Su Xiaoshuai, Feng Qier, and the Purple Elephant Emperor out of the mysterious space.
Before departing, Su Yi glanced at a large stone within the space—the Iron Soul Stone he’d acquired from the Seven Star Sword Sect mine.
He resolved to find time to study it with his elder brother.
“Kid, are you planning to mine the Yuan Stone deposit?”
In the main hall of the Overlord Sect, only a few people sat. Xi Wuqing furrowed his brow as he looked at Su Yi and posed the question.
Initially, when Su Yi had taken Nangong Ningyue and others away, it was in exchange for mining intelligence.
However, Su Yi had been swamped lately, with no time to organize the mining effort, and the Overlord Sect lacked sufficient manpower to proceed, delaying the task until now.
“That’s right—it’s time to mine. With enough Yuan Stones, we can accomplish more,” Su Yi nodded.
The Overlord Sect’s new home required a Fancy Gate Soul Realm to be constructed.
Drawing from past experience, Su Yi knew each Fancy Gate Soul Realm demanded vast quantities of Magical Stones to activate, making mining essential.
Moreover, he owed Lingbao Pavilion a substantial sum of Magical Stones, and with the one-year deadline looming, repayment was due.
Su Yi had long fretted over how to settle the billion Magical Stones he owed.
Now, though, he feared no longer. Despite bearing a massive debt and facing immense Magical Stone demands, Su Yi remained composed. This was the confidence of having a mine at home!
Simultaneously, Su Yi felt thrilled and eager to learn the yield of the mine Nangong Ningyue had mentioned.
If it proved rich enough, the Overlord Sect would surely strike it rich!
“One only grasps the value of Magical Stones when managing a household. Naturally, the more, the better!”
Su Yi murmured to himself, beginning to appreciate the critical role a sect’s foundation played.
The Overlord Sect boasted many members, but it needed more resources to expand.
Even if numerous independent cultivators joined the Chaos Realm, expecting them to risk their lives without benefits was unreasonable.
“Master, the mine’s location isn’t nearby. When do you plan to depart?”
Nangong Ningyue spoke up. “Once we act, it’ll likely draw other forces’ attention. We’ll need ample personnel to guard the mine then. Given the Overlord Sect’s current manpower shortage, I think we must plan carefully.”
“That’s a concern!”
Su Yi frowned. “Over the next few days, arrange recruitment and delegate tasks to others. I’ll leave two imperial-level experts at the sect to ensure no mishaps occur. You, Nangong Ningyue, and I will scout the mine. Regardless, we should first assess the situation there before deciding. We must proceed step by step, not hastily.”
Su Yi understood that waiting for perfect readiness would only breed complications.
Thus, despite the Overlord Sect’s stretched manpower, he refused to delay further.
“Understood. I’ll arrange everything promptly. You can rely on me, Master!” Nangong Ningyue nodded.
After speaking, she exited the hall and began coordinating with Yuan Yi, Yuan Er, and others.
Recently, the Overlord Sect’s fame had soared, catching the notice of all forces in the Chaos Realm.
Consequently, many rogue cultivators had gathered nearby, some merely observing, others seeking to join.
“Let’s go!”
The next morning, Su Yi, Xi Wuqing, Su Xiaoshuai, the Purple Elephant Emperor, the Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor, Nangong Ningyue, and others—along with thirty ordinary disciples—mounted flying demon beasts like the Flame Wing Demon Tiger, Golden Gryphon, and Dark Golden Demon Falcon, departing the Overlord Sect.
Huang Jian, the Xuan Turtle Emperor, Yuan Yi, Yuan Er, and others remained behind, tasked with organizing recruitment.
With two mighty emperors present—the Xuan Turtle Emperor nearing the sixth grade of the Demonic Emperor Realm—Su Yi felt at ease.
“Where’s the mine, and how far is it?”
Atop a demon beast, the Purple Elephant Emperor’s curiosity piqued, prompting the question.
“From the Overlord Sect, at our current speed, it’ll take roughly a day to reach. The distance is awkward—not too far, yet not close either,” Nangong Ningyue replied.
“On this journey, we should conceal our presence and move discreetly. We can’t let others detect us easily!”
Su Yi frowned slightly as he spoke.
With the Overlord Sect’s rising prominence, any movement could attract unwanted attention—detrimental to their mining plans.
“Not only that! More critically, a third-rate power lies just a hundred miles from the mining site,” Nangong Ningyue added suddenly, her tone grave.
