Qin Wentian and Yang Yun`er stared ahead, before their eyes, an ordinary-looking stone started to transform as astral light radiated from it. It became a gigantic piece of immortal stone as numerous hallucinations and illusions formed in a vast region around it.

Such a large piece, it’s value is priceless.
Yang Yun`er’s heart trembled as she continued.
The immortal stones for sale within the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms are all products that have been refined from manufacturing before. This ore before us is naturally-formed, it’s definitely of a very high quality.

Many immortal kings in the surroundings appeared as their eyes gleamed with sharpness. For such a large piece of stone, the price was astronomical. Many of the criminals could use this to bribe their way free of their crimes and even make a heap on top of it.

This emperor stone it’s its own illusion formation, and it’s also an emperor-graded formation. If this stone lands in the hand of a formation grandmaster, how terrifying would that be?
Yang Yun`er sighed. In the vast space here, everything was actually covered by a heavy mist. They were enveloped within as well.

Qin Wentian, I can’t see anything.
Yang Yun`er’s vision was completely blocked, even her immortal sense was confounded by the hallucinatory mist. She couldn’t even see her fingers when she stretched out her hand. But at this moment, she suddenly felt a current of warmth passing through one of her palms. There was someone who held onto her and that person’s eyes were gleaming with a golden light, as though he was able to see through all these illusions.

You are right, if we wait any longer, the higher-ups might even want to close this mine, trapping us within. I’ll take it now.
Another spatial gate appeared before Qin Wentian. He stepped into it and directly appeared in another location. At the very same instant, his aura erupted forth like a raging storm.
Qin Wentian directly ignored everything else. With a wave of his hand, a screen of light covered the emperor stone as a spatial thread manifested. He directly pulled the string into his spatial gate and kept it.
In an instant, the mist vanished completely, as did the astral light. Qin Wentian stepped through space, immediately bringing Yang Yun`er with him as he prepared to depart the area.
Numerous cold gazes shot towards the direction where Qin Wentian was at. A turbulent flood of law energy permeated the area. Qin Wentian coldly glanced over and said,
The emperor stone already belongs to me. If there’s someone who wants to plunder it, I shall show no mercy and kill everyone.

As he spoke, he directly turned and left, ignoring all the immortal kings here.

Simply courting death. Thunder Domain!
A voice roared. Instantly, purple thunderbolts enveloped all directions, trapping Qin Wentian and Yang Yun`er within. Inside the thunder domain, a fearsome giant appeared, rushing towards Qin Wentian. Lightning crackled wildly around them, as thunderbolts frequently fell from the sky.
Qin Wentian turned towards the giant. Golden runes manifested, landing on Yang Yun`er, transforming into a barrier of energy that protected her. Qin Wentian pulled her along with him, directly moving through the domain, ignoring the purple thunder and lightning striking his body. Despite the intensity of the attacks, they all actually failed to injure him at all.
That immortal king’s expression changed. The thunderbolts from the sky grew even more powerful. An illusory face appeared in the sky and the thunder attacks increased in power to the extent where Qin Wentian felt his soul tremble. There seemed to be a soul attack aspect mixed within the thunder in this domain.
Qin Wentian stretched out his hand as a spatial sword domain appeared around him. From the sky, a burst of boundless divine sword glow flashed.

Die.
Qin Wentian pointed his finger forward. A million strands of sword intent penetrated through everything, turning that immortal king into dust in an instant. He simply had no way to resist.

Let me remind you all again. For those who want to plunder the stone, I’ll kill all without mercy.
Qin Wentian waved his hand and kept his opponent’s spatial ring and left casually. Nobody dared to follow him. Staring at his vanishing back, they felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts. The law energy that manifested earlier from him caused them to feel stark terror. The laws this man controlled were of a higher level compared to theirs, he could suppress them effortlessly.
Yang Yun`er stared at Qin Wentian blankly. She was gradually getting numb to all this. The immortal-foundation character that was brought here by Jialan Mingyue’s subordinates before clearly came here out of his own will. If not, he would already have killed them off with ease.

We have to hand over 90% of the meteor stones we obtain before we exit. Is there any way to evade this tax?
Qin Wentian asked.

There’s no way to evade it. After we exit, all our spatial rings will have to be handed over for them to inspect. In this boundlessly vast realm, all the cultivation resources here belongs to the Realmlord. We are able to get 10% because they acknowledge our effort in mining them. If the harvest is good, some criminals might be able to buy their freedom. This mine belongs to the Jialan Monarch, the resources we excavate here will be handed over to Jialan Emperor City before transferring to the Lifire Palace, before it is moved again to the Realmlord’s location. Who would dare to covet things that belong to the Realmlord? No matter how strong you are, you would only die if you did so.
Yang Yun`er explained.

Mhm, the Realmlord must be filthy rich.
Qin Wentian laughed. No wonder, the superpowers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms have such tight control over cultivation resources. Other than these ordinary mines, there might still be other higher-graded mines.

Since we can only get 10%, let’s excavate more then.
Qin Wentian descended. An instant later, a sword formation appeared beneath his feet, which constantly extended outwards.
The earth cracked and clouds of dust and tiny gravel flew everywhere. Thunderous rumbling sounds shook the sky as more and more meteor stones appeared. Qin Wentian used his immortal sense to control his sword, while collecting the meteor stones that appeared with his hands, doing everything in an extremely smooth manner.

This fellow…
Yang Yun`er was speechless as she looked at Qin Wentian, as he continued moving forward while creating the ruckus. This was simply the actions of a madman. More and more powerful characters appeared in the surroundings and all of them stared at Qin Wentian with covetous looks in their eyes, silently mocking what a foolish person this man was. All his effort was destined to end up in their pockets.
Nobody obstructed him, but many people chose to follow after him. They wanted to wait a little while more before they acted to plunder the meteor stones.
The law energy radiating from Qin Wentian seemed endless. He continued doing so for many days and attracted even more immortal kings. Yang Yun`er followed behind him, but despite knowing Qin Wentian was very strong, she still trembled in fear when she noticed her surroundings. Could it be that he really believed he was invincible in the immortal king realm?
Some of the experts in the surroundings were peak-stage immortal kings. All of them had looks of greed on their faces.
Finally, Qin Wentian stopped. He glanced at the meteor stones in his spatial ring as a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Although he can only obtain 10%, his harvest was already extremely great.
In addition, if there are people who wish to kill him to seize his meteor stones, he naturally wouldn’t be polite in his actions towards them.

Let’s go.
Qin Wentian came to Yang Yun`er’s side and prepared to leave. However, the experts in the surrounding had followed him for so long, how could they be willing to watch him leave just like this? Numerous figures flashed, blocking his path, trapping him in the center.
Spatial fluctuations rocked the area. Qin Wentian directly stepped into a spatial gate, bypassing the void and appearing in another location.

Wait here for me.
Qin Wentian said to Yang Yun`er. After that, he turned around and returned back to the spot he was in.

Those who get near me, dies.
Qin Wentian’s body soared up into the air. A holy and resplendent light cascaded down on him. His entire being resembled a divinity.
That…was the power of light. Qin Wentian’s body radiated an incomparably dazzling light, causing the experts to be unable to open their eyes. The light was even more piercing than the light from the sun.
Also, although he warned them, the majority of the experts didn’t bother with it. Instantly, many powerful immortal kings rushed forth but at the next instant, their bodies were directly penetrated by light beams. All of them screamed in pain, dying one after another as the light domain engulfed all of them. No matter how strong their cultivations were, no matter what law-attributes they cultivated, all of them died with no exceptions.
Qin Wentian stood in the air, impassively glancing at everything. At this moment, he was god, the god of radiant light. The other experts who didn’t step out earlier were all so frightened that their bodies trembled involuntarily. Terror appeared in their eyes as they stared at Qin Wentian.
The light slowly faded away. The spatial energy transformed into boundless threads, keeping the spatial rings of those who died. After that, he turned around and left. Nobody dared to pursue him.

Given his strength, why is there a need for him to come here and fight over cultivation resources with us?
After the terror, a person angrily spoke. Everyone was speechless as well. Given the strength Qin Wentian displayed, the monarchs would definitely accept him as a subordinate and would nurture him heavily. If his luck was good, he might even obtain the favor of one of the nine empyreans. Why was he here in this mine, excavating for cultivation resources?
Nobody knew what to say to that. Although many were criminals among them, there were also some who were at the end of their ropes. But given their combat prowess, they were only average or they wouldn’t have taken the risk and come here into the mines.If they were in a sect, the cultivation resources they would be granted would definitely be better.
Yang Yun`er already didn’t know how many times she was stunned by Qin Wentian. She stared blankly at Qin Wentian as she asked,
You are so powerful, why do you want to bring me along with you?


Because we came in here together.
Qin Wentian smiled.
Yang Yun`er blinked and turned silent for a moment. She then asked again,
Many of the constellations in the heavenly layers are recorded, especially so for constellations in the 6th heavenly layer. Not only that, I’ve also read descriptions of astral souls from the 7th heavenly layer before but I don’t recall seeing such a powerful astral soul like yours. Is that the light law-attribute?


Yes. My astral soul came from the 8th heavenly layer.
Qin Wentian smiled. Once again, Yang Yun`er had a dumbfounded look on her face as she stared at him.
