Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6401: Harvest

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The power and supreme treasures were different, and so was the way they were driven.

Only when a particular sequence of the Divine Eye technique was cultivated to perfection could it be used, making it somewhat niche.

After all, not everyone could cultivate the sequence of the Divine Eye to perfection.

This wasn’t dependent on one’s realm, but rather on the innate gift of comprehension.

For example, back when Wei Jiuxian from the Crimson Eyes Realm only had the Divine Aspect realm, he was already able to cultivate the third sequence of the Divine Eye technique to perfection.

Many True Immortals couldn’t achieve this, though there were some who were in the Mahayana stage that could.

The main factor was comprehension.

The other factor was time.

Wei Jiuxian wholeheartedly devoted himself to understanding the Divine Eye technique. He didn’t struggle with the mysteries of the Origin Source nor did he attempt to create his own cultivation method, so he could maintain a state of selflessness during his cultivation.

However, in the Ancient Domain World, very few people could manage such a feat. After all, as soon as you opened your eyes, everything cost money.

Even finding a safe place to go into seclusion within the city came with a price, charged by the hour.

This was why everyone fought for resources.

In times of scarcity, it wasn’t just about comprehending the Divine Eye technique or the Origin Source.

One had to secure even more resources to survive.

Guardians like Qifeng, Yunhai, and Xue He were no different.

They were unwilling to miss any opportunity.

For instance, when Guardian Qifeng used up some of his Immortal Power earlier, he agonized over it for most of the day. He even risked offending Chu Xiong, forcing Xue He to bleed a little, just to recover the Immortal Power he had lost.

For him, this was a significant expense.

It was possible that the path ahead might be delayed due to this very cost, hindering his progress towards merging with the Dao.

The conflicts over orthodoxy were not only dull but also the saddest of times.

If the path of cultivation had been unified, then the powerful figures in the Ancient Domain World would have long since traveled to other worlds to seek treasures and break through to the Emperor level.

Instead, they remained in the Ancient Domain World, embroiled in internal strife, fighting over an elusive and illusory orthodoxy.

But this mistake was made in every world, leading to constant battles.

In the end, each world chose the simplest and most efficient cultivation system.

If nothing unexpected happened, the Origin Source path was sure to emerge victorious.

After all, compared to the Divine Eye technique, it was much simpler.

The demise of the Ancient Demon era allowed the human race to rise and attain a rightful position.

Now, humans were even digging up their graves!

This was truly a form of sorrow.

“Haha, it worked on the first try! This compass is made from innate materials. Selling it will fetch a good price, at least five million Immortal Crystals!” Guardian Qifeng licked his lips greedily.

Five million Immortal Crystals was quite a decent haul.

After all, the net worth of a Five-Step True Immortal was generally only around a million Immortal Crystals.

The likes of Tian Can and Fairy Ziyu, both True Immortals, were not in the ordinary ranks. One of them harbored a great secret, while the other had a powerful background and strong connections. Naturally, their worth had multiplied many times over.

At the very least, they were comparable to Six-Step or even Seven-Step True Immortals in terms of value.

Their worth ranged between three and five million.

And this time, securing five million Immortal Crystals equated to the worth of a Seven-Step True Immortal.

“Just a piece of innate material, and you’re this excited?” Xue He, the Blood River Ancestor, said coldly, taking the opportunity to mock Guardian Qifeng.

There was no need to be polite anymore, as the two of them had already torn away any pretense.

Guardian Qifeng rubbed his chin and retorted sarcastically, “You still don’t believe you’re an uncouth fool, do you? Do you think I’m happy about the five million Immortal Crystals? I’m excited because I was able to easily shatter this compass. If this place can be easily destroyed, so can the rest. The entire Ancient Demon Palace is worth at least a billion Immortal Crystals. Do you get it?”

These words were quite accurate.

Despite Guardian Qifeng’s rough and brutal nature, he also had a keen mind.

Xue He laughed coldly and shook his head, ceasing his attempts at mockery. Indeed, he had been too narrow-minded earlier, hoping to take a shot at Guardian Qifeng, only to find that the man had completely dismissed him, thinking on a grander scale.

A billion Immortal Crystals!

Even a Nine-Step True Immortal didn’t have such a high net worth.

Even Xue He, a powerhouse among True Immortals, couldn’t easily come up with a billion Immortal Crystals unless he sold his most treasured items.

But these treasures had been with him for tens of thousands of years, long ingrained into his combat strength. How could he sell them?

Thus, those who could easily come up with a billion Immortal Crystals were mostly Dao Lords.

“Haha, Qifeng is right. We didn’t come here in vain. We might be able to break through the entire Ancient Demon Palace. Just selling the materials alone will be worth at least a billion, and if we uncover any special innate materials, it could even reach two billion!” Guardian Yunhai was equally thrilled.

He gathered the materials, worth five million, into a pile, roughly ten thousand kilograms.

These materials were primarily used to craft Immortal weapons.

Of course, they could also be used to craft Origin weapons, but the resulting item would at least be a supreme-grade Origin weapon.

Xue He couldn’t hide his excitement either, though he maintained a cold expression and said, “Let’s continue dismantling this place. We’ve already made quite a commotion, and we don’t want to attract any unwanted attention!”

“Alright, this time, we’ll choose…” Guardian Yunhai began selecting a new area.

“Wait!”

However, Guardian Qifeng interrupted him again.

Guardian Yunhai turned his head impatiently and asked, “Qifeng, what now?”

“Brother Yunhai, don’t you feel something is off?” Guardian Qifeng asked as he shot a glance at Xue He.

Being stared at, Xue He immediately roared, “Qifeng, you’d better not stir up trouble now, or I’ll expose everything happening here. Even if I get nothing, I won’t let you take it all!”

“Heh, I’m not that despicable. I understand the rules!” Guardian Qifeng said indifferently.

Guardian Yunhai frowned and said, “Then what are you waiting for?”

“Waiting for what?” Guardian Qifeng walked over to the mountain of innate materials, casually picking up a fragment and weighing it in his hand. “Of course, to split the spoils. We three should at least discuss how to divide things later, right?”

“So that’s what you meant!” Guardian Yunhai was initially taken aback but quickly understood.

The three of them had all contributed.

Two were Dao Lords, and one was a Nine-Step True Immortal.

He and Guardian Qifeng were at a disadvantage.

On the surface, all three of them were working to destroy the Ancient Demon Palace with all their strength.

But the power of a Dao Lord was not the same as that of a Nine-Step True Immortal.

A single blow from a Dao Lord was equivalent to a full-force attack from a Nine-Step True Immortal.

Even though Xue He’s expertise far surpassed that of most Nine-Step True Immortals, it barely amounted to one-third of their combined strength.

This clearly put him at a significant disadvantage.

Xue He’s heart sank. He had known this issue would arise, which was why he had maintained a foul expression, trying to appear as if he was the one at a disadvantage when, in reality, he was the one making a massive profit.

Now that Guardian Qifeng had pointed it out, there was no more room for pretenses. He began to argue cunningly, “Guardian Qifeng does have a point.”

He first acknowledged the other’s words, hoping to make it seem like he was open to discussion rather than entering into another verbal confrontation.
