Chapter 1278: Chapter 970: Be Serious, This Is a Robbery_2
Whether due to lack of finances or a desire to act discreetly, He Xun chose a cave mansion located in the most remote northwest corner of the entire "villa area." The area was quite large, including not just a gigantic cave mansion but also a martial arts field on the hillside and part of a lake in the back mountains.
"Buzz~"
The three landed together, the cave mansion array was opened, and a door split from the light curtain allowing entry.
[He Xun’s cave mansion, deceased evil cultivator, Land Without Master. Acquire the property deed to bind and obtain usage rights for the cave mansion]
Jiang Yuan: !!!
Isn’t this a stroke of luck?
When capturing He Xun, I was afraid other evil cultivators would see, so I acted with extreme speed, had the old professorto search the storage bag and personal items, and a property deed was discovered.
He silently opened the storage bag, located the property deed and clicked to use it. A few seconds later, the progress bar completed, and the system helped take over the usage rights of the entire cave mansion, including the array.
Then, while the two evil cultivators were joyfully planning how to lure the group of demon cultivators over, set up ambushes, and control the array to trap them, Jiang Yuan opened the settings page and closed all the sharing permission buttons, closing the entry and exit array in the process.
"Gentlemen, how goes the discussion?" Having unexpectedly acquired a scenic cave mansion, he was in high spirits and stepped forward to inquire: "To deepen our understanding, why don’t we first chat about the resources within the sect? Who are your contacts? Are they still alive?"
Recently focusing on the mission to eliminate the Leisure Sect, Jiang Yuan was well accustomed to it.
The other two evil cultivators laughed heartily at his words, finding the young man adorably naive. Being evil cultivators, they knew their kind acted without fear and that not hiding secrets could easily lead to being eaten alive.
"Be serious, no laughing, this is a robbery." Jiang Yuan raised his hand, casting a capture net over one; with his other hand, he grabbed the shoulder of the other, directly unleashing the Soul-Devouring Demon Skill.
Trapped without warning by an ordinary net, the evil cultivator angrily laughed, trying to use Spiritual Power to tear the net apart while sneering, "Are you out of your mind? Do you know what you’re doing? I closed the array upon entry, teleportation is prohibited here, and without me personally opening the array, you’d starve to death being trapped here!"
The seemingly ordinary net couldn’t be torn apart, and his Spiritual Power was suppressed, even preventing access to the storage bag.
Panic and fear mingled within him as he feigned composure, threatening, "Did you hear me? Release me immediately! For the sake of your youth and ignorance, untie this broken net and apologize, and I won’t pursue the matter! Sect members must not kill each other, no matter what, you cannot silence me..."
Before he finished speaking, the lifespan of the other evil cultivator was nearly taken, and he was directly clicked and thrown into a dungeon, disappearing in an instant.
Finally realizing he had kicked a hard rock, he stammered, "You, you calm down, we can talk this over. If you harm us, the Protector will surely find out, resulting in a brutal death for you! And this array, you really can’t open it!"
"Who said that?" Jiang Yuan made a slicing motion in the air, and the light curtain split open into a door, "I forgot to tell you, this cave mansion is now mine, thanks for leading the way.
Next, I’ll ask questions and you’ll answer them, we can have a proper discussion, and I’ll offer you a chance at immortality."
The evil cultivator was completely dumbfounded, realizing He Xun had deceived him!
He claimed trust, saying he was the only one shared with control rights of the cave mansion array, but he had still given it to this kid!
Seeing the unfavorable situation, he immediately became compliant, repeatedly expressing he would be completely forthcoming with the details.
Boss Lü and other demon cultivators, having finished their feast, didn’t wait for the three to return.
Worried, fearing something had happened, they made another round past the cave mansion led by Boss Lü. Although they couldn’t enter, the anti-peeping array wasn’t activated, and they saw the cave mansion was empty with no one around.
Four living cultivators, reduced to "neither seen alive nor dead!"
This matter became an unresolved mystery at Lion Hill Market, sparking many speculations, but lacking evidence, it ultimately ended inconclusively. The demon cultivators who attended the banquet talked about it eagerly, unaware they had narrowly avoided becoming food for the evil cultivators!
Through interrogation, Jiang Yuan successfully obtained leads on several evil cultivators, but he didn’t pursue it any further.
After all, the entire Leisure Sect is like a tangle of loose threads; catch one and it can be uprooted upwards and downwards. But new members join every day and evil cultivators fall daily, chasing after small fry around merely wastes time.
Two days later, when he had the chance to meet the Protector, Jiang Yuan felt that tackling from the top was the only way to capture everything in one fell swoop!
During these two days, he had to sort through the rewards from the upgraded courtyard and had to hurry to complete the main farming tasks on Conch Island.
Upon teleporting back to the small courtyard, he discovered that a level ten courtyard was indeed impressive.
The originally faint protective shield was now a magnificent spectacle, the sunlight revealing the dazzling glow with images of auspicious beasts soaring within; the level ten house was like a Celestial Palace, the area unchanged but filled with hidden mysteries;
Other level ten buildings were also magnificently beautiful, their styles unified into a grand and solemn ensemble.
The poultry and livestock pens expanded their capacity, and previously locked advanced poultry and livestock that couldn’t be purchased, could now be unlocked for purchase and raising. Upon entering, it was like stepping into a small world of its own!
Rolling hills and vast grasslands stretched wide, with great rivers roiling between them. The raised poultry soared through the sky, the livestock galloped with raised hooves; Jiang Yuan stood amidst the vast expanse, for a moment thinking he had entered a wildlife sanctuary in the Wilderness.
All manner of edible animals and demon beasts, known and unknown, could be raised;
The fish pond was the same, with an unchanged footprint.
However, the level ten fish pond appeared as a clear spring, but in truth had a vast water surface, capable of raising thousands of fish. And the fish raised would not attack or eat each other even without feeding...
The glow of the level ten courtyard’s protective shield matched the buildings, as if everything was coated in a layer of Immortal Energy.
"There’re still many upgrade cards from the last reward I’ll need to use first, then I’ll open the new Family Pack." Jiang Yuan circled around, very satisfied with the newly upgraded courtyard.
More satisfactory was that the system lifted the restriction; from now on, as long as he wishes, he can bring more plots from the Ruins Realm to expand the main courtyard!
Of course, the premise is that there’re enough demon cultivators to help clear the remaining Demonic Energy, otherwise, no matter how much could be transported back, it would remain barren and unusable.
"Let’s first open the two Select Mysterious Packs!"
[Select Mysterious Pack]
[1. Obtain the coordinates for the fragmented Celestial Sect South Gate]
[2....East Gate...]
[3....West Gate...]
[4....North Gate...]
[5....Jieyin Hall...]
......
[...Demon Slaying Platform...]
[...Palace of the Polestar...]
......
Jiang Yuan scrolled through the selection menu, his gaze lingering on the Palace of the Polestar and Demon Slaying Platform, these two seemed more practical than the various Celestial Sect Gates.
Although he didn’t know what finding the fragmented Palace of the Polestar and transporting it back would achieve, it was the main symbol of authority without which even with all other structures assembled it wouldn’t be called the Celestial Realm;
And Demon Slaying Platform boasted the strongest combat power, rumored as a place to slay demons and perhaps even able to eliminate Outer Heaven Demons!
Upon clicking to receive, the system immediately popped up a new prompt—
[The coordinates of the Palace of the Polestar have been recorded; open the Void Detector to view details. Please proceed to Void exploration.]
[The coordinates of the Demon Slaying Platform have been recorded; open the Void Detector to view details. Please proceed to Void exploration.]
He eagerly opened the Void Detector, then two large lines appeared on the screen—Current coordinates are in an unlocked area, please continue exploring main and side quests to gain unlocked area permissions.
Ah, dammit! Void actually has map restrictions!
With his head momentarily clouded, Jiang Yuan soon realized that the Void, like the vast universe, was boundless; the Celestial Realm fragments had flown too far, reaching other galaxies, making it difficult to reach from the Wilderness World or Human World.
Looks like he needs to hurry and build the Observatory, make more trips to the Otherworld, there’s a chance he could successfully unlock it.
"The automatic full set is for Conch Island, things here are sufficient; it’s better to save the Spirit Root Upgrade Card for future members of the small courtyard when changing spirit roots; the blueprint for the Celestial River ship can’t be used yet, a shipyard needs to be built first, but that blueprint requires completing the main quest first..."
