Chapter 695: Abundant Rewards
The massacre of the Shangguan family was witnessed by many. Those who dared to spy secretly were all quite powerful individuals. After seeing the strength of Ye Feng and his companions, they quietly withdrew their spiritual forces used for surveillance.
Ye Feng and his group began to plunder extensively, moving all the dead bodies into their storage rings, which was much faster than searching through each ring and the treasures hidden on their bodies. After putting all the corpses into the rings, they also ransacked every house. In just the time it took to drink tea, all the valuable items were taken.
Just as Ye Feng and his group were about to leave, a voice called out to him, “Wait…”
Ye Feng froze. He knew it was Qingtian. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s the fragment of the Langhuan Secret Realm you mentioned earlier. I just sensed it—these guys hid it in a parallel space.” Qingtian’s sensing ability was indeed extraordinary. He already had one fragment of the Langhuan Secret Realm, and now that he had found a second one, he naturally wouldn’t let it go easily. After all, this was a universe fragment at the main plane level. “Go into that spire-like room and let me retrieve it.”
“Hmm,” Ye Feng nodded and said to Luo Yan and the others, “Wait a moment. I’ll be back soon.”
After entering the spire, Qingtian Tower flew out from Ye Feng’s body. Though only the size of a palm, it emitted an incredibly powerful suction force, causing the ground to shake instantly.
Luo Yan and the others immediately realized the source of the tremors was where Ye Feng was and rushed over.
“Don’t come in. Just stay outside the door. I’ll be out in a moment,” Ye Feng said, noticing their movements and stopping them right away.
Luo Yan and Jinwen stopped after hearing this.
Inside the spire, a spatial door suddenly appeared, with waves of intense spatial energy continuously flowing out and being absorbed by Qingtian Tower.
After nearly half an hour, the last trace of spatial energy was drawn in by Qingtian Tower, and even the spatial door vanished instantly. The terrifying tremors, like those of an apocalypse, finally ceased. Ye Feng then slowly pushed open the door and stepped out. “Let’s go!”
After Ye Feng and his group left, many powerful individuals teleported over to investigate.
It wasn’t long before news of the Shangguan family’s destruction spread. Meanwhile, Ye Feng and his group were counting their loot.
“There are a total of 23,261 corpses, among which 8 are at the True Realm level and 27 are at the Half-True Realm level… There are 28,355 storage rings… Three Supreme Void Treasures and 39 Peak Void Treasures… Over 26.8 billion Void Crystals… There are also Void Beast Crystals of various grades, pills, crafting materials, and pill-making materials…” Ye Feng said with a smile, “This time, we’ve really made a fortune.”
“Master, those guys at the True Realm and Half-True Realm levels—could I turn them into blood corpses under my command? Blood corpses are different from descendants; they can never betray us,” Luo Yan suggested. “Moreover, with my current bloodline strength, the power of the blood corpses I create will be on par with that of the Golden-Eyed Corpse Emperor. And given my current cultivation level, their cultivation can still improve significantly.”
“Alright, leave all these corpses to you to handle however you want,” Ye Feng said, throwing the ring containing all the collected corpses to Luo Yan to distribute them himself. As for him, his entire focus was on another matter.
The Sky-Piercing Tower—after breaking through to the True-Breaking Realm, he had already unlocked its sixth layer. But above the fifth layer, the tower was empty. The fourth layer did contain three universes at the True Realm level, but for him now, they hardly provided any benefit in accelerating his cultivation.
What Ye Feng cared more about was the Void Domain. Although his cultivation had reached the True-Breaking Realm, logically, the Void Domain should have already unlocked its seventh domain—the Void Domain—and eighth domain—the True Domain. However, due to damage to the Void Domain, it could only produce items at the top-tier Void Treasure level at most, so the seventh domain remained unopened until now.
According to the Void Domain itself, its repair progress was currently at 39%. Only when it reached 40% could it produce Peak Void Treasures, and at 45% could it create Supreme Void Treasures. Only when the repair progress exceeded 50% could the eighth domain—the True Domain—be unlocked.
But Ye Feng had yet to find any extra Void Treasure fragments, preventing further repairs to the Void Domain.
“Besides Void Treasure fragments, is there anything else that can help accelerate the repairs?” Ye Feng asked.
“Materials used to create Void Treasures can also work,” replied the Void Treasure projection.
“What about an entire Void Treasure?” Ye Feng suddenly thought of something. “With my current strength, I can completely erase the spirit within a Void Treasure. Can you directly consume a Void Treasure with its spirit erased?”
“That’s feasible, though it will take some time. The results will be much better than absorbing fragments,” the Virtual Treasure projection nodded. “The main reason I can’t absorb Virtual Treasures is due to their internal spirit entities.”
“Or, I erase the consciousness of those spirit entities, and you swallow them along with their unconscious forms. That should be more beneficial for you, right?” Ye Feng proposed a second option.
“That’s indeed true, but it will take even longer. I guess absorbing one per day would be quite good,” the Virtual Treasure projection nodded again.
“In that case, how many Virtual Treasures do you need to complete the construction of the Seventh Domain?” Ye Feng pressed further.
“If they have complete spirit entities, 100 peak-level Virtual Treasures and 10 top-tier Virtual Treasures will be enough to help me rebuild the entire Seventh Domain,” the Virtual Domain replied after a brief silence.
“I don’t have that many. I only have three top-tier Virtual Treasures and 39 peak-level ones,” Ye Feng frowned, not expecting such a large number.
“With this amount, I can restore 44.9% of it, but not reach 45%,” the Virtual Domain projection also grew anxious, as Ye Feng’s current strength meant it could no longer be of much help.
“Then let it be this way. I’ll erase the consciousness of those Virtual Treasures first and then throw them in. You absorb them yourself. I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t come in again,” said Ye Feng before leaving the Virtual Domain. He sat down in the room, erased the consciousness of each peak-level and top-tier Virtual Treasure, and threw them into the Virtual Domain.
Luo Yan, Yin Ling’er, and the others were busy creating blood zombies and had no time to pay attention.
Only Jin Wen closed his eyes and leaned back in a recliner, though he was actually just dozing off, guarding the five of them.
