Chapter 341: Boundless Wealth

Ding!
The clear ringing of the bell could be heard hundreds of miles away. It was Tianyin using the bell to warn the Wu Huang tribe in advance of a visitor’s arrival, so that those fierce and aggressive tribesmen wouldn’t mistake them for other cultivators and attack without hesitation.
“Great Shaman Tianyin!”
As the bell’s sound still lingered in the air, a thunderous, deep voice echoed through the sky.
“Great Shaman?” Su Che shook his head secretly. He found it rather unusual to hear Tianyin, who was so gentle, delicate, and elegant, referred to as a great shaman.
Guided by Tianyin, Su Che used the Star Emperor Compass to land directly in the circular open space at the center of the village. As soon as they landed, a large group of giants surrounded them with a rumbling noise.
These were not terrifying giants hundreds of feet tall, but rather in their normal state before transformation. Adult Wu tribesmen were all over ten feet tall, with many even reaching over twenty feet.
Su Che knew that most adult Wu tribesmen could adjust their body size at will, and it was no problem for them to become as tall as ordinary humans. However, a height of around twenty feet was the most comfortable and natural state for them.
To maintain eye contact at the same height as them, Su Che and the others had to float a foot above the ground. Otherwise, constantly looking up to communicate with them would be uncomfortable and exhausting.
“Great Shaman Tianyin.”
Several middle-aged Wu tribesmen stepped forward. Judging from their hair ornaments, they must be elders from the Wu Huang tribe.
The Wu tribe was an extremely long-lived race; even the weakest among them could live tens of thousands of years. Before death, their physical functions showed no signs of aging. The so-called middle-aged appearance was merely a deliberate disguise to appear more dignified.
During the month-long flight through the starry sky, Tianyin had told Su Che many customs of the Wu tribe, including the practice of using hair ornaments to indicate age, status, and identity.
For example, a thin braid represented a lifespan of ten thousand years, while the colored ropes tied to it indicated one’s status within the tribe.
The several elders standing in front of Su Che and Tianyin each had at least twenty braid strands, showing just how long a life they had lived.
While observing them secretly, the hundreds of Wu tribesmen and women surrounding them also stared at Su Che with great curiosity.
Both men and women had loud voices, and Su Che could hear their soft murmurs clearly without relying on his spiritual senses.
“How could Great Shaman Tianyin bring along a human?”

“That can’t be right. I sense that there’s a trace of witchcraft energy in him, and it’s extremely pure—almost like that of an ancestral witch.”
“An ancestral witch? What a joke! How could a human possess such energy? Has a woman kicked you in the nose?”
“That’s right. I can also sense that there’s a very primal and pure source of witchcraft energy hidden within him. I really want to tear him apart and study him thoroughly.”
Su Che secretly smirked: Tear me apart to study me? How outrageous!
However, Su Che noticed that even though Witch Yellow Star was under the Five Elements blockade, the expressions of the witches in the village showed they weren’t very concerned or worried. It seemed as if nothing could disrupt their daily lives.
Perhaps, as Tian Yin said, there was no force in the cultivation world capable of destroying them; they were merely temporarily trapped, which meant nothing to these witches with extremely long lifespans. It was similar to ordinary people with lifespans of just a few decades who wouldn’t worry over a few days of rain.
At this moment, even the younger witches could sense the extremely special source of witchcraft energy in Su Che’s aura. How could those elders who had lived for 200,000 years fail to notice anything?
Their vast experience allowed them to guess many things immediately. They all turned to Tian Yin and asked tentatively, “Great Witch Tian Yin, could this human be…”
“Yes,” Tian Yin replied with a smile. “I bring good news about the convergence of the Immortals and the return of the Witch God.”
What?
On the square, hundreds of witches exclaimed in unison. Their loud voices combined into a thunderous roar, so intense that it could probably kill an ordinary person just from the sound alone, especially if they didn’t have the foundation-level cultivation.
“That’s great! We’ve finally waited for this day!”
A few elders laughed heartily. The lead elder quickly said to Tian Yin and Su Che, “Great Witch Tian Yin, and this young human, please come inside to talk.”
So, led by them, Su Che used the Star Emperor Compass to float toward the largest wooden house in the distance.
Although the house was simple and rustic in design, Su Che could tell it was made entirely of Ten-Thousand-Year Sky Blue Wood, a rare material in the cultivation world.
In the Qi Yuan Star cultivation world, those who practiced wood-related cultivation techniques had to spend hundreds of thousands, or even a hundred years’ worth of spirit stones, just to obtain a small piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Sky Blue Wood. Yet this house was over fifty feet tall and over ten feet wide…

How many days does this Tiancang Wood take? Could it be that Witch Yellow Star is abundant in Tiancang Wood?
After the shock wore off, Su Che could also understand the logic: these Witch Clan members still lacked a spiritual core, so they couldn’t refine magical artifacts or even control them. The entire Witch Yellow Star was occupied by just over ten thousand Witch Clan members, while the Human, Demon, and Fiend races dared not set foot on this planet. Over countless years, the various resources on the planet had never been depleted; instead, they had only increased.
“A vast untapped treasure!”
Su Che and Lao He shouted inwardly at the same time.
Just think—if they could obtain the rights to develop Witch Yellow Star, what would a few hundred top-quality spirit stones needed for each teleportation matter?
Just one visit here—without even mentioning the vast areas around the Immortal Prison Space—how many cultivation resources could the interior of the Giant Wealth Palace hold?
Moreover, there must be many unexploited spirit stone mines on Witch Yellow Star, containing countless top-quality spirit stones. Perhaps even the legendary supreme-grade spirit stones could be found there!
These days, any planet with cultivation resources has long been plundered by countless cultivators. Perhaps only a planet occupied by the Witch Clan could see such a terrifying sight as using ten-thousand-year-old Tiancang Wood to build houses.
It was one thing to use Tiancang Wood worth tens of millions in value to build houses, but what was most intolerable was that the houses built were so ugly!
At this moment, Su Che’s excitement was indescribable. He wished he could pack the entire Witch Yellow Star into the Immortal Prison.
Tianyin was extremely intelligent; how could she not see Su Che’s thoughts? She transmitted a message: “If you’re willing to fully side with the Witch Clan, there are still over a hundred thousand similar planets in the entire infinite cosmos of the cultivation world, and all their resources can belong to you.”
“Over a hundred thousand similar planets, all for me?”
Su Che’s mouth dropped open in shock. He was so stunned that he forgot to continue operating the compass and stopped involuntarily. This made the Witch Clan elders look at him curiously.
It was impossible not to be shocked. Even the most composed person couldn’t remain indifferent to such a huge temptation.
“Yes,” Tianyin explained with a smile, like the most beautiful and gentle persuader in the world: “A single tribe of the Witch Clan has at most ten to twenty thousand members. If one tribe occupies one planet, then the several billion people in the entire cultivation world must be spread across over a hundred thousand planets.”

“The cultivation resources on these planets are of no use to the Witch Clan; they’re nothing but rocks and dirt. With just one word from you, I can mobilize billions of Witch Clan members to extract these resources for you. In less than a hundred years, all this wealth will belong to you.”
“Countless resources from over a hundred thousand planets…” Such an enormous amount was almost enough to shatter Su Che’s mind.
It was impossible to calculate! How could one even figure out just how astonishing this wealth was?
“Agree to her!”
Lao He was shouting loudly in the Immortal Prison, his voice even louder than that of the Witch Clan members before: “Agree to her, master! What’s there to hesitate about? For such an incredible amount of wealth, anyone else would dare to go to war with the whole world!”
Yet Su Che still remained rational. He sent a message: “Tianyin, I’m just a humble human. Any Witch Clan member could crush me with a single finger. Is it really that important to you if I side with the Witch Clan?”
“Extremely important!”
Tianyin replied seriously, “The mission that originally belonged to me has already been fulfilled by you. The Mi Xian Ling flag had been missing for millions of years, and I had no idea where to look for it, yet you obtained it effortlessly with your Qi Cultivation level.”
“Su Che, I believe you are the destined one! Perhaps, with your help, the revival of the Witch Clan won’t be against the laws of nature; perhaps, something completely different will happen; perhaps, you are the future of the Witch Clan, its hope, the last chance for it to survive…”
“Su Che, please, help us!”
By this point, Tianyin’s eyes were filled with tears. Bearing the heavy responsibilities of the Witch Clan, her delicate shoulders carried too much weight.
With things having come to this, how could Su Che still hesitate? With compassion in his voice, he said, “Okay, I agree to you. But not for those planets or that wealth—just so that the tears in your eyes won’t fall.”
Swoosh…
With those words, things took a turn for the worse. The tears that Tianyin had managed to hold back spilled out instantly.
At that moment, if not for the hundreds of pairs of eyes from the Witch Clan around them, she would surely have thrown herself into this man’s arms…
In fact, Su Che’s words earlier weren’t any sweet love words—they were simply sincere expressions from the heart.
A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude!
Not to mention that Tianyin already had a great fondness for him, which was even deepening into affection, just consider that two years ago she saved him from the siege by Tai Xu and others. For that alone, it was only right for him to fight desperately to repay her.

A few tears slid down Tianyin’s face, but instead of falling to the ground, they were suspended in front of her by Su Che’s energy.
“Tears of Tianyin—how precious,” Su Che said with a smile as he shook his head. “Keep them safe and turn them into something eternal. One day, I’ll make them into a necklace and return it to you.”
“No!”
Tianyin broke into a smile through her tears, like a little girl whose weather could change from rain to sunshine in an instant. “I don’t want it. Keep it for yourself!”
So, those few tears were stored by Su Che in the Immortal Prison. Whether they would be turned into a necklace was something to be seen in the future.
The elders of the Witch Clan surely could see the subtle intrigue between the two of them, yet they all remained calm, their thoughts unknown.
