Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1873: Chapter 1872: Spirit Crystals Piling Up!

Early the next morning, Su Han set out from Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, heading to what was once Blue Moon Star, now known as Two-Star Phoenix.

There, disciples from Heavenly Mountain Pavilion and Phoenix Sect were present, managing the mining of Spirit Crystals as well as other materials for refining weapons and equipment.

According to reports from the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion disciples, the next disturbance is likely to occur at Two-Star Phoenix.

The people of Phoenix Sect are still cultivating within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

As for the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion members, they are preparing instantly, ready to launch an attack on Hidden Blood Sect at any time.

Ren Qinghuan led the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion disciples and had already headed towards the nearest planet around Hidden Blood Sect.

...

Two-Star Phoenix is not far from the planet where Hidden Blood Sect is located, only a dozen star units away, and through various Teleportation Formations, it would take at most two days to reach.

Hidden Blood Sect occupies three planets: main star Bloodlust Star, and subordinate stars Star of Heavenly Calamity and Ling Yuexing.

Star of Heavenly Calamity is rich in weapon materials, while Ling Yuexing is abundant in Spirit Crystals; both stockpile resources that allow Hidden Blood Sect to persist over the long term.

Three days later, Su Han arrived at Two-Star Phoenix.

The Spiritual Energy here was rich, much stronger than that of Star of Heavenly Mountain, though it was still a Lower-Class Planet, yet the richness of Spiritual Energy was several times that of Star of Heavenly Mountain.

And the main star, Phoenix Star, was even more abundant, its Spiritual Energy about ten times more concentrated than that of Star of Heavenly Mountain.

There were many Spirit Gathering Arrays operating on Two-Star Phoenix, all established by the original Silver Moon Sect and later occupied and maintained by Phoenix Sect.

”Greetings, Sect Master!”

Upon seeing Su Han arrive, the Phoenix Sect disciples guarding the Teleportation Formation immediately bowed deeply.

”Hmm.”

Su Han nodded slightly and immediately said, ”Teleport me to the third Spirit Crystal vein.”

”Yes.”

The disciple nodded respectfully, then once again activated the Teleportation Formation. Su Han stepped in and instantly vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already at the third Spirit Crystal vein on Two-Star Phoenix.

This vein was the largest Spirit Crystal vein on Two-Star Phoenix, and according to Su Han’s estimation, if someone were to indeed come here to cause problems, it would definitely be here.

After all, it was inherently risky, but the likelihood of obtaining more Spirit Crystals here was evidently greater than elsewhere.

”Sect Master, you’ve arrived!”

”Greetings, Senior Brother Su!”

Upon seeing Su Han, both Phoenix Sect disciples and Heavenly Mountain Pavilion disciples displayed fervent expressions.

Following the last battle, coupled with resource allocation afterwards, both in terms of strength and character, the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion disciples had completely submitted to Su Han.

”Continue mining, I’m just here to observe.” Su Han said with a smile.

”Yes!”

Everyone nodded and then continued with their own work without hesitation.

Su Han inspected the area, especially the Spirit Crystal vein, observing carefully and ultimately feeling satisfied.

Within the huge Spirit Crystal vein, countless Spirit Crystals glimmered, some resembling massive rocks, weighing thousands of pounds, needing to be mined and separated piece by piece.

This single Spirit Crystal vein could produce at least several hundred billion Spirit Crystals, this being a conservative estimate.

And this Spirit Crystal vein was under the name of Phoenix Sect.

The Heavenly Mountain Pavilion disciples were there to assist in mining, receiving compensation, of course.

After observing for a while, Su Han pondered slightly, entering the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

At present, there was no good method to break through, except with Spirit Crystals!

Originally, Su Han did not intend to cultivate with Spirit Crystals, as it was somewhat wasteful for him.

But before the Heavenly Talent Competition, Su Han must elevate his Cultivation Base to Third-Grade Void Heaven Realm, and without special fortune, there are only two methods—

The first is to devour Spirit Crystals, using a massive amount of terrifying Spiritual Power to forcefully accumulate the Cultivation Base up to Third-Grade Void Heaven Realm!

The second is like Ling Xiao... devouring others’ Primordial Spirit and Cultivation Base!

Although Su Han does not possess a Heaven-Swallowing Demon Body, with the Dragon Rider Emperor Technique, forcibly devouring others’ Cultivation Base is not impossible.

However, to Su Han, this method is truly not advisable.

Because forcibly cultivating by devouring others’ Primordial Spirits may lead to rapid breakthrough in the short term, but there would definitely be serious repercussions.

These repercussions would cause Su Han to go mad while gaining enlightenment on a certain Realm!

And cultivators who cultivate in this manner are labeled ’Demonic Cultivators,’ scorned by all, and may even be hunted.

”Just this once, it might not be impossible... At worst, after the breakthrough, carefully refine to expel the lingering thoughts and grievances of those Primordial Spirits.” Su Han murmured.

Before the Heavenly Talent Competition, he must reach Third-Grade Void Heaven Realm to ensure true invincibility below the Fusion Realm!

Devouring others’ Primordial Spirits for cultivation is a last resort, but he has no choice but to do so.

”Enough, before the battle with Hidden Blood Sect, I’ll cultivate with Spirit Crystals first. The fewer Primordial Spirits devoured, the better...”

Su Han’s eyes flashed, no longer hesitating, and with a twist of his hand, a large quantity of Spirit Crystals surged forth.

”Boom!”

The Dragon Rider Emperor Technique activated, that terrifying Power of Devouring directly acted on these Spirit Crystals, devouring a million at a time!

Vast Spiritual Energy exploded instantly from the Spirit Crystals, even mixed with various Laws.

Spirit Crystals contain Laws, while Spirit Stones do not; this is the difference between the two!

Simply put, devouring Spirit Crystals has a one-in-ten-thousand chance of comprehending a certain Law, while devouring Immortal Crystals has a one-in-a-thousand chance, devouring Divine Crystals has a one-in-a-hundred chance, and devouring Holy Crystals has a one-in-ten chance!

Of course, this is just an example. Comprehending Laws, the first is not difficult, but the more Laws there are, the harder it is to comprehend them.

Even Holy Crystals don’t have a one-in-ten chance of comprehension, but they far surpass Divine Crystals, Immortal Crystals, and similar items.

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, the Spirit Crystals devoured by Su Han had exceeded one hundred million.

His brows remained furrowed tightly, as his Cultivation Base had only grown slightly, far from breaking through.

”Given my current overall Cultivation Base, for the Martial Path Cultivation and Flesh Cultivation of my Nine Great True Selves to thoroughly break through to Seventh Grade Void Heaven Realm... at least three trillion Spirit Crystals are needed!”

Su Han spoke as he gritted his teeth, feeling somewhat hesitant.

Such a quantity of Spirit Crystals could create many strong members of Phoenix Sect, but using it on himself would only break through a Minor-Grade Level.

Is this truly worth it?

”Well then!”

Recalling the rewards for the Heavenly Talent Competition champion, Su Han’s eyes immediately showed decisiveness: ”If those rewards can be obtained, a mere three trillion Spirit Crystals is nothing!”
