Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1679: Chapter 1678: Alone, Tempering!

Three days later, outside the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion.

”Sect Master, you must travel well. I will surely miss you...”

Ling Xiao grasped Su Han’s hand, his face full of sorrow.

Su Han wished he could punch him to death and snorted, ”I’m not dead yet, and you’re already scheming to usurp the throne?”

”No, truly no, I swear!” Ling Xiao’s expression turned solemn.

”Then speak properly!” Su Han was somewhat speechless.

Ling Xiao immediately sighed, ”Sect Master, with you gone, who will start wars? How will I devour Primordial Spirits in the future? I’m still waiting to advance to the Void Heaven Realm!”

”When we were at war with the Sect of the Supreme Shadow before, I instructed the people of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion to capture as many Primordial Spirits as possible.”

Su Han glanced at Ling Xiao and said, ”There should be quite a few Primordial Spirits at the Pavilion Master’s place, but your cultivation base, even if you have no bottleneck, still needs to stabilize. Haste makes waste, understand?”

”I understand.” Ling Xiao nodded.

”Then let’s leave it at that for now.”

Su Han glanced at the crowd behind him.

Shen Li was also there, so was Nangong Shenqing, along with many high-ranking members of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion.

This made Su Han genuinely speechless. He was only going out to train, to seek those rare treasures to quickly enhance his power.

Yet they all came to see him off, as if he was never coming back...

Without saying anything more, Su Han took a deep breath, turned around, and left.

”Su Han!”

Luoo Ning’s voice came from behind: ”Where you’re going is extremely dangerous; be sure to be careful... I’ll be waiting for your return!”

Su Han’s body paused, but he did not turn his head.

Perhaps, ending Luoo Ning’s thoughts... is also good.

”I will too.”

A calm and indifferent yet slightly complex voice reached Su Han’s ears.

Su Han’s gaze flickered, shook his head, and headed straight into the distance.

...

Ten Thousand Demons Star is where the Nine-Heart Demon God Pill can be found.

Ten thousand demons, ten thousand medicines.

The two sound similar, yet it’s also a fact.

Ten Thousand Demons Star is extremely vast, nearly ten times the size of the Star of Heavenly Mountain, and even in the entire Lower-Class Star Region, it is significant.

This place is controlled by the Starry Alliance, yet it does not belong to the Starry Alliance nor to any single power.

On Ten Thousand Demons Star, Spirit Beasts are endless, ranging from First Grade to Fifth Grade.

Legends say that Ten Thousand Demons Star also has Sixth Grade, even Seventh Grade Spirit Beasts.

Though it’s just a legend, few have seen such grades of Spirit Beasts on Ten Thousand Demons Star.

But based on Su Han’s guess, even on the Demon Sea Star previously visited with the Mercenary Group of the Heavenly Sea, there was a Mother Nest present, so having Sixth or even Seventh Grade Spirit Beasts on such a large Ten Thousand Demons Star isn’t surprising.

Besides the Spirit Beasts, another common element is the medicinal ingredients.

The spiritual energy on Ten Thousand Demons Star is extremely dense, as if there is a natural Spirit Gathering Array, filled with many spiritual medicines.

Even though many powers have been gathering for years, the medicinal ingredients still appear endlessly, as if they are sprouting from thin air.

Some medicinal ingredients clearly require hundreds of years, thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years to grow, but on Ten Thousand Demons Star, after harvesting, the growth time is greatly shortened.

Simply put, a medicinal ingredient taking ten thousand years to mature elsewhere can mature in one thousand years on Ten Thousand Demons Star.

Thus, the Starry Alliance dispatched massive manpower to control it.

And so, countless Pill Masters and powers continue to exist there.

Such a precious place, even the Starry Alliance can’t say they monopolize it completely.

For the Starry Alliance, only places that aren’t too mundane or too precious can be monopolized.

The Starry Alliance doesn’t value exceedingly mundane stars, and monopolizing extremely precious places would provoke public anger.

In the previous life, when Su Han was the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, even he adhered to this principle.

Only balance can keep the Milky Way Galaxy running smoothly for a long time.

The Three Teachings, Nine Schools, and Seventy-Two Sects and other powers definitely have a connection with the Starry Alliance.

The longer one lives, the more they understand human relationships and the world.

For the Starry Alliance to monopolize a place like Ten Thousand Demons Star, they must consider the thoughts of these powers, right?

If they are unwilling, can the Starry Alliance suppress them through force?

Obviously not.

No matter how strong the Starry Alliance is, it is just one power, and to survive for long, it can’t provoke public anger.

...

Su Han’s trip to Ten Thousand Demons Star is for the Nine-Heart Demon God Pill.

This journey is meant to acquire rare treasures for a swift breakthrough.

As Su Han said, if he wanted to break through, he would consume massive resources of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, enough to nurture many powerful individuals.

The key is that even if those resources were provided to Su Han, a lot of time would be wasted.

A treasure like the Nine-Heart Demon God Pill doesn’t need that.

If acquired, after devouring and refining, Su Han can break through in a short time.

Although the Nine-Heart Demon God Pill sounds like the name of a pill, it actually isn’t.

It’s a medicinal ingredient.

An extremely unique medicinal ingredient without any grade!

In his previous life, Su Han obtained a Nine-Heart Demon God Pill, but not on Ten Thousand Demons Star.

Su Han was not familiar with the Star Regions surrounding the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, so he had Ren Qinghuan draw a map and provide explanations.

At that time, Su Han had reached the Fourth Grade Void Heaven Realm, and after devouring the Nine-Heart Demon God Pill, he immediately broke through to Fifth Grade.

The feeling was as if his magic cultivation broke through instantly after absorbing elements from Magic God Wood.

Such precious items are unforgettable, and Su Han, living a second life, naturally wants to obtain them again.

”Whether there is a Nine-Heart Demon God Pill on Ten Thousand Demons Star, I don’t know; after all, it’s just a rumor.”

”But the Eight Jiao Dragons’ Spirit Liquid eruption still requires some time, and this time shouldn’t be wasted; at least gather some other medicinal ingredients on Ten Thousand Demons Star to refine pills.”

Su Han talked to himself as he stepped into a teleportation formation on a planet.

Ten Thousand Demons Star has a multitude of medicinal ingredients, making it a Holy Land for Pill Masters. With Su Han’s alchemical attainment, he might have other gains on Ten Thousand Demons Star.

The place where the Star of Heavenly Mountain is located is sixty-three star distances away from Ten Thousand Demons Star.

This means Su Han must teleport over sixty times to reach Ten Thousand Demons Star.

Depending on the distance between planets, the teleportation times vary, and so do the costs.

There are some large teleportation formations capable of crossing dozens or even hundreds of star distances directly, but they require a tremendous amount of Spirit Crystals.

Su Han didn’t want to spend Spirit Crystals on travel expenses, so he relied mainly on interplanetary teleportation formations.
