"Speaking of the demon race, His Majesty the Demonic Sovereign has to be mentioned. He's long decreed that as long as a demon couple has more than twenty children, they'll be rewarded handsomely. All the children's upbringing expenses will be borne by the demon race's authority, and even all their cultivation needs will be covered … Once this decree was issued, the demon race's population increased exponentially in a short amount of time, reaching the highest limit in the Bound of Universe's history and still growing. It's the greatest threat to the human race!"
"Come to think of it, if it wasn't for the demon race's incessant war, which is much more brutal than us humans, perhaps the human race would've fallen long ago …"
"Seeing the world in chaos and the demons coming at any moment … who knows when we'll wake up, the entire city will already be filled with the demon race's soldiers. This isn't a groundless fear, it's a reality!"
Feng Guohai's white brows twitched. "Cultivators of our generation must have a sense of urgency and seize every opportunity to improve their capabilities. When danger comes, other than ensuring our own mobility, we must also have the mentality to fight against the enemy together … Otherwise, we'll be in grave danger."
He looked at Yun Yang and said, "As for the Ethereal Amethyst … it's the ultimate war resource that surpasses all other heaven and earth treasures at such a time. Do you understand what this old man is saying? "
Yun Yang sucked in a light breath and said in a low voice, "I understand. I'll try my best to obtain more Ethereal Amethysts from now on. If necessary, I can donate the crystals that I consume in my cultivation as well."
"It's not that far yet. Your cultivation base is also of utmost importance. There's no need to be so cautious. You only need to know that this matter is of great importance and shouldn't be taken lightly."
Feng Guohai stared at Yun Yang intently. "Ethereal Amethyst! The Spirit's Grave! "
"I understand. I really do."
Yun Yang said, "Actually, I was forced to do this. The spiritual Qi graveyard is heavily restricted. Other than the difficulty of opening it, there are other taboos. For example, if I can't send in the required resources in time, not only will I lose the qualification to open it forever, but the divine sense left by the graveyard spirit in me will also act up, destroying my soul and soul."
"In the past, when I was in the lower realms, because of this opportunity, my cultivation speed far exceeded that of my peers, and I was successful in every endeavor. However, the further I went, the more resources I consumed, and it gradually exceeded the scope of my abilities. After I ascended, I was faced with the iron rules of this world. If I didn't deal with things differently, I really wouldn't be able to handle this opportunity. So, I could only use any means necessary to obtain help. Only then would I be able to continue living."
Feng Guohai sighed softly. "You're honest. I thought that it was rare for your cultivation base to reach the pinnacle of Honor at such a young age. However, if you had a large amount of Ethereal Amethysts as a supplement, your progress would've been too slow. Now, it seems that you've paid a considerable price for this rare opportunity before you ascended. It's actually within reason. Everything in this world has its pros and cons.
Such an ancient legacy must come with similar restrictions. Moreover, the Spirit's Grave that you've come into contact with has an earth-shattering presence inside. His survival is most likely due to your feedback. That's why we're benefiting from each other … "
He smiled and said, "However, no matter how unscrupulous you were, as long as the Spirit's Grave truly exists … you're a meritorious subject. Your contribution will be remembered for generations to come, and your merit will be immeasurable!"
Yun Yang understood and replied, "I understand, I understand. However, Elder Feng, my original intention is still to remain in the dark."
Feng Guohai guffawed. "As long as the news is true, this old man promises that you'll be the Sacred Heart Palace's top secret from now on! We'll never allow such a secret to be known by others, be it the Demon Race or other forces of the human race. "
Yun Yang smiled. "Thank you, Elder Feng."
"It's worth it." Feng Guohai smiled back.
His smile was especially meaningful at this moment.
From the beginning to the end, Feng Guohai's words and expression did not reveal the slightest hint of suspicion or sharpness in his deific consciousness. Everything about him was like an amiable old man chatting with his juniors. There was not the slightest hint of anger in his demeanor.
In spite of this, Yun Yang and Shi Wuchen knew it very well.
How could Feng Guohai not have the slightest suspicion? How could an experienced martial artist like him believe a few words from someone else so easily? The more he kept his composure, the more likely an experienced martial artist would react.
The reason why he did not even use the most basic detection of his deific consciousness was because he wanted to be careful. If Yun Yang was useful, he would not leave any excuse to prevent Yun Yang from turning against him in the future.
On the other hand, if Yun Yang was useless and Feng Guohai turned against him, it would be a matter of life and death. Compared to the ability that this old man had displayed recently, the so-called Supreme Cloud and Supreme Sword were not even on the same level. They could easily be killed without a fluke!
This was something that everyone was well aware of and extremely clear about.
Four whole days passed.
On this day, the sky above the General Commerce League's Shop of Rare Treasures of the World appeared abruptly. A massive and inexplicable aura descended from the sky.
In an instant, the entire Dongye City fell into a deathly silence!
Colorful clouds appeared in the sky, thousands of auspicious rays of light.
It was a unique phenomenon that occurred when high-level cultivators of Royal Saint and above did not conceal their whereabouts when they traveled.
Looking up, Feng Guohai's gaze was suddenly filled with an odd glint as he said, "Someone from the headquarters is here. Judging by the looks of it … it should be a few guardians. The headquarters are taking this transaction very seriously."
Yun Yang squinted and said, "I wonder what level the General Commerce League's guardians' cultivation base is. Is it convenient for you to reveal it, Elder Feng?"
Feng Guohai chuckled. "This isn't a big secret, but rather than letting this old man reveal it, why don't you witness it with your own eyes? You'll know in no time."
Before his words echoed in the air, a golden light flashed in the yard. With a soft swoosh, three silhouettes appeared leisurely in front of the door.
The moment the trio's faces appeared, Feng Guohai shuddered. Unusually surprised, he hurried out to welcome them. "I didn't expect Vice Chief and the two guardians to come personally. Feng Guohai, please forgive me for not going out to meet you."
"Forget it." The tall and sturdy Deputy Alliance Master waved his hand and laughed. "If we were to come, you wouldn't be able to welcome us from afar even if you wanted to. What's the point of pretending? Let's get down to business. Is the matter you reported true?"
Feng Guohai smiled as well. "Vice Chief, you're as straightforward as usual, but I've confirmed it. What's the point? It needs confirmation from the higher-ups."
The two Protectors were both wearing snow-white robes with three golden threads on their sleeves and collars. One of them had snow-white hair and beard, but his face was as smooth and glossy as a baby's. There was a warm smile on his face.
