Chapter 783: Chapter 260: Everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind!_2

“No, I won’t.”

Xiong Gao respectfully shook his head and said, “These Spiritual Peaches are all from Chao Tian Sect, taken care of day and night by the Brown Bear Clan, grown by our own hands. We would never waste them, and besides, my lord, you are already in a high enough position where these things come naturally.”

“If you don’t have these now, my lord, in the future, many people will put thought into these aspects when giving gifts. If your lordship’s maids, traveling entourage, and grandeur are established, then others need only focus on Spirit Stones when presenting gifts.”

“Sigh…”

Chen Qiu, who just now felt a bit ostentatious inside, suddenly took a deep breath, patted Xiong Gao’s shoulder, and said in a low voice filled with emotion, “Xiong Gao, you really know how to comfort someone. Now I understand why those Evil Demons, despite doing heinous deeds against the Heavenly Dao, speak as if they are righteous.”

“It must be that they also have someone as talented as you by their side.”

“I like it.”

“Come, follow me to the lower-ranking Continent. You haven’t officially dealt with Liu Zide and the others. I’ll take you to meet some people, and in the future, you should have many opportunities to interact with them.”

Xiong Gao’s eyes lit up, his voice tinged with barely concealed excitement, “Thank you, my lord.”

He certainly knew Liu Zide, even spoken with him quite a bit. After all, before coming to the Vast Continent, Liu Zide was just an inconspicuous outer disciple of Chao Tian Sect, and he would occasionally come to the back mountain to chat and kill time.

But knowing is one thing, being introduced by one’s lord is something else entirely.

It meant that he was practically recognized by the lord, and it also served as an announcement to others that he, Xiong Gao, was indeed the lord’s housekeeper. Others would have to consider how to treat him, signaling the lord’s support for his identity.

…

Then, the following period—

Felt as if the fast-forward button had been pressed, in the blink of an eye, two more months had slipped by. During these two months, Chen Qiu’s only source of Spirit Stones had been from Liu Zide, and from the diminishing returns of “Qiu’s Array Plate.”

All in all, it was just shy of one million.

Having experienced the feeling of unrestrained Cultivation with several million Spirit Stones, this number, not even one million, seemed almost negligible to Chen Qiu. His Cultivation Progress had reached—

–

‘Cultivation’: Unification Second Layer (41.7%).

–

He was about 9% short of reaching the third layer of Unification. His Cultivation speed was increasing, especially since Liu Zide had constantly been promoting him. The problem was the lack of Spirit Stones. Even if Cultivation was fast, without Spirit Stones, it was futile.

He had nearly emptied Xuantian State of its Spirit Stones, whether in the hands of major forces or Loose Cultivators; he had pretty much robbed them all, making it difficult to squeeze out more Spirit Stones.

Why are Spirit Stones always in such short supply?

Even with his swift ways of accumulating wealth, he ran short on Spirit Stones. He was curious about how those Unification Cultivators managed their Cultivation?

As if catching Chen Qiu’s frustration, the Sect Master of Heavenly Axe Sect spoke in a complex tone tinged with a tinge of grievance, “Predecessor… to my knowledge, other Unification Cultivators should not have advanced to the second layer of Unification within a single month.”

To be honest.

He felt somewhat exasperated. For the first time, he recognized the massive disparity between individuals. It felt like just as the Predecessor had broken through to Unification, he only went home to pick up a piece of clothing. When he came back, damn, the Predecessor had reached Unification first layer, and now, two months later, frustration because he hadn’t advanced to the third layer within these two months due to the lack of Spirit Stones.

Frustration…

If it weren’t disrespectful to the Predecessor, he really wanted to say, “What are you fretting about?”

He had lived for thousands of years only to reach the peak of Void Refining, shouldn’t he be more frustrated?

Normally speaking, which Unification takes just a decade or even decades to overcome a small realm, damn, you break a small realm in one month and still feel it’s slow? Why not ascend to immortality in one step?

But he couldn’t say that.

All he could do was to patiently tell the Predecessor, in the most euphemistic tone possible, that this speed wasn’t too slow, to comfort him a bit.

The Predecessor too had his own vexations, but these were ones he found hard to sympathize with or understand.

“Sigh…”

Chen Qiu, sitting on the Xuantian Throne, looking at the Heavenly Axe Sect Master standing to the side, was about to say something frowning when suddenly a Heavenly Dao Decree echoed throughout the entire Xuantian State!

–

‘Heavenly Dao Decree’: By the feeling of the Heavenly Dao, within the Vast Continent’s Xuantian State, Human Clan Cultivator and Sect Master of Chao Tian Sect, Heavenly Dao Saint, Heavenly Dao Evil Man, Human Clan’s Guardian God, peerless Heavenly Pride Chen Qiu, King of Xuantian, after securing the Xuantian Throne for one year, is officially recognized as the King of Xuantian!

Th𝚒ѕ 𝕔h𝓪p𝐭𝓮r 𝙞ѕ p0𝖘τɛ𝕕 bʏ 𝘒𝚤𝘵𝖾η𝗼𝘷𝘦𝐥

When the Thrones of the other eleven states are decided, the battle for the ‘Unique King’ shall begin.

–

“Hmm?”

Chen Qiu slightly raised his eyebrows, hearing the message ring in his ears, and felt that a certain restraint indeed had lifted. He could now freely enter and exit the small worlds and the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm. It had been a year already.

The Heavenly Dao Secret Realm was certainly not worth visiting anymore.

As for the small world, he remembered that Xiong Gao and others had found a pitch-black passageway under the back mountain of Chao Tian Sect. He could explore there to see if any chances lay hidden.

Preferably, chances with Spirit Stones.

He desperately needed a large number of Spirit Stones, the more, the better; he must break through quickly, or his timed Seven-colored term ‘Luck is Coming’ was going to bloody expire!!!
