"It's like an old man eating poison, tired of living. It's like lighting a lamp in a latrine, courting death."
"What are you talking about? Where is the latrine? Use your brain!" Yunhua's displeased voice rang out.
Xiao Ta realized what was happening and chuckled awkwardly, "It was a mistake, a mistake." The analogy was clearly flawed.
If we compare these tycoons to people who come to the latrine to light lamps, then a question arises.
Where is that place that's been likened to a latrine? Obviously, it's the Eight Regions. Isn't this just absurd?
"How about it, Brother Yun? Pretty impressive, huh?" Little Tower's smugness was clearly not gone.
Yunhua glanced at the small tower and asked, "Why are you so proud of killing a few human cultivators?"
"We couldn't even kill all the human cultivators; some of them even escaped."
"You've truly integrated perfectly into this segment."
The small tower, which had been swaying, suddenly froze.
That's right. I am the number one Chaos Magic Weapon. I killed a few human cultivators. What's so great about me?
Since the small tower merged with his two tower layers, it has displayed great power.
After the Immortal Venerable Qin Changsheng projected himself to the mortal realm, he publicly stated that he was merely watching the show.
This has led many industry giants to consider withdrawing.
They were already outmatched, and their numbers were dwindling. To make matters worse, Qin Changsheng, an old acquaintance, had somehow descended to the mortal realm and witnessed their miserable state. What was the point of fighting anymore?
Whether they can take down one of the opponents if they continue fighting is unknown, but they are bound to suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, many powerful figures decisively retreated. Although it was difficult for them to descend to the lower realms and they would have to wait a long time before a gap appeared between the three thousand Dao states and the eight domains for them to pass through.
Furthermore, multiple preparations are needed to descend into the lower realm through these gaps.
This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, and they can only be allowed to descend to the mortal realm two or three times.
However, while getting down is difficult, going back is quite simple for them.
Of course, this simplicity is relative to the difficulty of the Nether, and it's also because there are so many people there.
If there were only five or six of them, they definitely wouldn't be able to escape; Liu Shen and his team could keep a close watch on them.
However, given their numbers, they would definitely be able to escape if they split up and ran.
However, a price was paid. The extra floating corpses outside the realm were that price.
The big players were well aware of this retreat.
It's all about who can move faster and whose escape techniques are more skillful. Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.
As long as I can get back alive, that's enough. As for the fellow cultivators who died while covering the rear...
Don't worry, we will take care of your traditions and your people.
We will definitely treat them as family.
Or, we would be more than happy to become a real family!
At this moment, Liu Shen raised her hand, and several beams of green light shot out, sweeping up the bodies of the many sect leaders floating in the outer realm.
These are all treasures; we can't let them languish outside our borders.
The humanoid creatures can loot their belongings, then turn them to dust and return them to the embrace of nature.
Yunhua and his group did not engage in activities such as crafting puppets.
It's not that I can't bear to do it, but I feel that my opponent should be given a dignified death.
The main problem is that these cult leaders were too incompetent, both in life and after death.
Even if you modify their bodies, they won't retain their value.
The title "Master of the Three Thousand Dao States" is actually a general term for the three realms of Void Dao, Self-Slaying, and Escape from Oneness.
Because cultivators at these three levels are already qualified to establish sects in the three thousand Dao states, and most of them are the leaders of a region.
Therefore, they are referred to as powerful figures at the level of cult leaders, or important people.
Such a person's body has value, but for Yunhua and his group, that value has plummeted too quickly.
When Yunhua and the others were around, they didn't need these bodies at all.
If Yunhua and the others were to pass away one day, Shicun would certainly have the strength to protect itself.
For Yunhua, cultivating a few sect leader-level cultivators wouldn't be difficult.
Yunhua would find it troublesome to actually do anything to these bodies.
It would be better to let them return to nature and nurture the land of Shicun.
Let Shicun become a sacred land, a holy place.
However, if the leader's body is that of a non-humanoid being who has attained enlightenment through various beasts, then it has great value. Eat it, eat it all.
After Liu Shen wrapped up the bodies of those cult leaders, Yun Hua began exploring the treasures they left behind.
After defeating the enemy, the next step is to reap the rewards—basic operations.
It must be said that although these cult leaders are not very powerful, they still have some good things to offer.
Yunhua would also pay some attention to certain things. The ancient war between immortals back then was too sudden and too rushed.
After it ended, the heavens and earth were devastated and in complete chaos.
Many ancient artifacts, or treasures shattered by war, entered the vast uninhabited area beyond the three thousand Dao states.
Those things include those of the highest level of humanity, those of the immortals, and even those of immortal kings.
Over the long years, some things will always drift out of the no-man's-land and drift to the heavens and the earth.
The Three Thousand Provinces also received many things from the no-man's land.
Naturally, most of those items ended up in the hands of these cult leaders. The Bell of No End is a case in point.
These cult leaders, with their limited knowledge and unaware of the origins of some ancient artifacts, could sense their extraordinary nature and thus carried them with them. However, today they were all confiscated.
Many of the things looted from these cult leaders, things whose origins were unknown during their lifetimes, were related to the extremes of humanity.
Several items even involved the Daoist path. Of course, they were all damaged.
The air was filled with precious energy and spiritual energy. The treasures of many sect leaders were casually placed in the outer realm, which actually formed a silver river of precious energy.
It's easy to imagine how wealthy these cult leaders were.
Although Yunhua and the others wouldn't need most of it, Yunhua still had a rough estimate of the wealth that someone at this level should have.
It can be said that the wealth of these cult leaders far surpassed that of the cultivators of the corresponding realm in the era of Shrouding the Heavens.
"There's something I can actually use."
The little tower swayed on the Milky Way, occasionally spotting something useful to it, which it then unceremoniously took away.
No one objected to Xiaota's actions; it was everyone's shared spoils, and whoever needed it could take it. It was very simple.
“I’ve discovered something rather awkward,” Yunhua said with a smile. “Most of these things are useless to us. But most of them are also unnecessary for everyone in Shicun.”
"Hahaha." By the end, Yunhua was laughing; it had all turned into a pile of treasures that had been "disliked" by others.
Chapter 1163 Me Too
The people of Stone Village have too low a cultivation level, while the things collected by this group of cult leaders are mostly cult leaders themselves, or at least at the level of celestial gods.
Aside from some sacred medicines and divine metals, the people of Stone Village have little opportunity to utilize them.
At this moment, Kunpengzi looked around, hesitated as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
What he actually wanted to say was, could he be excluded from Yunhua's statement about "we don't need"?
Unlike Yunhua and the other two, who were all boastful and arrogant, he was actually just a sect leader...
But Kunpengzi ultimately did not say such a thing.
How embarrassing. Kunpengzi thought to himself, even though he was standing here with Yunhua and the other two, it was still quite embarrassing.
They appear to be on equal footing, all being big shots.
However, those three are truly amazing, while I, Kunpengzi, am actually just a fake big shot.
They were the same as the cult leaders lying dead before them now...
I always feel like I don't fit in with these big shots.
The worst of these three was their mother's weapon, a quasi-immortal king level magical artifact.
There is also the first chaotic artifact before the creation of the world, which was once the ancestral spirit of the Immortal Ancients, and a mysterious being who is respected by both the first chaotic artifact and the ancestral spirit.
There were also those who stayed in Shicun, the Five-Colored Sparrow, who had drifted from a very, very far place.
It is said that there used to be another powerful figure in Shicun, known as the greatest of the era, and his two disciples at the peak of true mastery, but their whereabouts are unknown.
He, as the young sect leader, was under immense pressure. His cultivation level was even lower than that of a mere novice.
They were weak, pitiful, and helpless, and dared not speak out for fear of being ostracized by the real big shots and attracting strange looks.
So, you're one of the newbies who snuck in among us?
After Yunhua and the others selected some items that suited them, Yunhua put these treasures away.
No one took much; they only took some special items. Even Kunpengzi only took a few more items.
Kunpengzi may be a novice, but he is an outstanding figure among the sect leaders. During his time in Shicun, he has vaguely glimpsed the future.
He doesn't rely much on external things. Don't be fooled by his constant suppression; this fellow is cunning.
His alternate body has been active in the Three Thousand Provinces for countless years, cultivating there.
After listening to the teachings in Ishimura, he has already made some breakthroughs.
This crippled Kunpeng's limit is probably at the Supreme Realm. Below the Supreme Realm, it can still make relatively smooth progress.
When he reached the Supreme Realm, he still possessed the fortune he had gained in the Chaotic Small World, as well as the pair of Kunpeng wings on his back.
They will all turn from powerful allies into obstacles hindering his progress.
Just like how, after the Holy Body is fully formed, the physical constitution itself can, in turn, hinder the attainment of the Holy Body and the path to enlightenment.
The remaining treasures can remain in Stone Village, or Yunhua can provide them to the Chaos Kunpeng who is venturing through the Three Thousand Continents.
Yunhua advanced to True God, and Chaos Kunpeng also broke through.
Compared to the cultivation level of the Divine Fire Realm, even a True God cannot make decisions in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
But at least it gave me a tiny bit more dignity.
But for the Chaos Kunpeng to ascend to the status of a True God, it's not just about gaining a tiny bit more dignity.
Gods are nothing; if you're not convinced, fight them and suppress them all.
What's there to be afraid of? If you're not convinced, I'll still fight you. Anyway, you don't have the ability to kill my Great Kunpeng.
"This great calamity has temporarily come to an end," Yunhua said, gazing into the void.
"Temporarily?" Little Tower asked, puzzled. After a moment's thought, she said, "You mean, they'll come again?"
“If I were them, I would definitely come.” Yunhua nodded. “Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique, Grass Character Sword Art, Kunpeng Treasure Technique, Immortal Phoenix Treasure Technique, True Dragon Treasure Technique…”
"The rest of the treasures are in a small house."
"And you, Tianhuang Halberd, Kunpengzi's special identity, don't forget that you and they have a blood feud."
"The Endless Bell lost here, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the First Spiritual Root of the Medicine Capital, and the Supreme Divine Treasure flowing in the Desolate Region."
"And this ancient treasure realm that has just appeared, which has not yet been opened and explored by anyone."
Can you give them a reason why they're not coming?
As Yunhua recounted her story, Xiaota and the others couldn't help but agree with her words. Indeed.
Let alone those cult leaders, even they would be tempted by the treasures Yunhua listed.
With so many treasures, who wouldn't be tempted?
In the ancient immortal era, with its dazzling array of true immortals and kings reigning supreme across the heavens, these treasures would have stirred up a storm within the immortal realm. Let alone now.
"Come a few times, I'll kill you a few times." Liu Shen's cold voice rang out, perhaps because he had just been domineering and unleashing a massacre, there were still traces of killing intent in his voice. "Dare to come, and I'll kill you."
