Leading the three thousand Blackhole Sword Emperors, Gu Man rushed to the outside of the Demonic Ant Palace and began to kill the Lost Demonic Ants.
Although the Ant Emperor was heavily injured and had to go into seclusion to recuperate, no Ant King or Ant Queen dared to approach the Demonic Ant Palace due to the pressure of his rank and life force.
Therefore, Gu Man had no worries at all. If he was tired or sleepy, he would return to the Demonic Ant Palace to rest. This place was absolutely safe.
If he was hungry or thirsty, Chu Xingyun left a large amount of Green Bamboo Leaves in the Demonic Ant Palace, as well as food that could be preserved for a long time.
Since he had just reached the Martial Emperor realm, what Gu Man needed the most now was constant battles to consolidate his cultivation. After all, it was not solid enough to just rely on seclusion and bitter cultivation.
After sending Gu Man away, Chu Xingyun walked to the Ant Emperor and said, "This time, the invasion of the Demonic Ant Race caused me great losses. Don't tell me that you don't have a treasury."
Looking at Chu Xingyun with a bitter smile, the Ant Emperor said, "We really don't have a treasury. The Demonic Ant Race has always fed on souls. All life forms with souls are our targets."
After a pause, the Ant Emperor continued, "To us, the Demonic Abyss Ants, we are only interested in food. Other than food, we are not interested in anything else."
Frowning, Chu Xingyun took out a Grade Six Spirit Stone and said to the Ant Emperor, "Do you have this thing?"
Looking at the Spirit Stone in Chu Xingyun's hand, the Ant Emperor nodded and said, "This thing, we have plenty of it. There are pits and valleys full of it. Why … do you want it?"
Pits and valleys full of it!
Looking at the Ant Emperor in shock, Chu Xingyun said in surprise, "Didn't you say that you don't have a treasury? Why are there pits and valleys full of it? "
Shaking his head, the Ant Emperor said, "After eliminating every underground race, we would always find a large amount of these things in their secret chambers. Although I don't know what they are used for, I still asked the worker ants to bring them back."
Looking at the Ant Emperor in admiration, this was the strength of the Emperor. Even an ant without intelligence, once it became an Emperor, it would have intelligence that surpassed that of an ordinary person.
It was because of this intelligence that the Ant Emperor was able to make such a decision.
If they were ordinary, unintelligent ants, how could they bring back useless things?
The brilliance of the Ant Emperor lay in the fact that even though he felt that it was useless, he still decided to bring it back after seeing that everyone was collecting it and hiding it in a hidden treasury.
Chu Xingyun narrowed his eyes and said, "These are spirit stones. They are treasures that most living beings desire to possess. Speaking of which … where do you keep your spirit stones?"
Facing Chu Xingyun's question, the Ant Emperor said, "So these things are called spirit stones. I've piled them up in the back of the valley. You can see them if you go out the back door of the hall."
Back door of the main hall?
Puzzled, he walked towards the back door of the side hall of the Demonic Ant Palace.
The Demonic Ant Hall was built at the entrance of the Demonic Ant Canyon.
The huge oval-shaped Demonic Ant Canyon was located behind the Demonic Ant Hall.
Filled with anticipation, Chu Xingyun walked towards the back door of the Demonic Ant Palace.
The battle with the Demonic Ant Clan this time had consumed too much of his energy. If he couldn't replenish it, Chu Xingyun would really die of heartache.
Money wasn't everything, but it was absolutely impossible to do anything without money. The development of each department required a large amount of funds to maintain.
Pushing open the back door of the side hall, Chu Xingyun stepped out and appeared in the huge valley behind the Demonic Ant Palace.
Looking around, it was an underground valley with a diameter of about ten kilometers. It wasn't too deep, but the area was very large.
Within the canyon, there was an incomparably huge hill. Upon closer inspection, the incomparably huge hill that stretched for more than ten kilometers was actually completely piled up by spirit stones.
A huge hill that stretched for more than ten kilometers and was one to two hundred meters tall. How many spirit stones were used to make it?! After a little calculation, Chu Xingyun realized that he couldn't estimate it at all.
What made Chu Xingyun speechless was that among the mountain of spirit stones, Grade-9 spirit stones could be seen everywhere. There were also countless Grade-7 and Grade-8 spirit stones. Spirit stones of all grades were mixed together like trash.
Chu Xingyun quickly understood. Although the Ant Emperor felt that these things were valuable, it obviously didn't care too much about them. Therefore, it just casually piled them here.
Moreover, these spirit stones came from various underground races that had been destroyed by the Demonic Ant Clan. They came from different secret treasure chambers.
Stacked together in batches, they formed the current jumbled state.
There was no doubt that the spirit stones were produced underground. As the overlord of the underground world, the Demonic Ant Clan had destroyed too many races. After many years of accumulation, it had accumulated such a terrifying amount.
According to the Ant Emperor, it would take at least 100,000 years to build an army of ten billion from scratch. In other words, the Abyss Ant Emperor had been an Emperor for at least 100,000 years.
In 100,000 years, how many underground races had the Demonic Ant Clan destroyed and how many spirit stones had they plundered? Perhaps even she herself couldn't remember.
While he was deep in thought, a petite figure appeared behind Chu Xingyun.
Hearing the footsteps, Chu Xingyun turned around and saw the Ant Emperor with black hair, red eyes, black armor, and black dress walking out from the back door of the Demonic Ant Hall.
Seeing Chu Xingyun look over, the Ant Emperor said, "This canyon was originally extremely deep. Now, it's almost filled. In another 30,000 to 40,000 years, it won't be able to fit anymore."
Extremely deep?
Hearing the Ant Emperor's words, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but widen his eyes. It seemed that … this wasn't actually a valley, but a real, bottomless canyon!
Looking at the incomparably huge valley with a diameter of more than 10 kilometers, if it was still bottomless, then it couldn't be described as rich enough to rival a country.
In the entire Surface World, the total amount of spirit stones of the three races — humans, demons, and demons — added together might not be so much.
Shaking his head in admiration, Chu Xingyun finally let out a sigh of relief. Not only could he make up for all his losses in this battle, he had also made a huge profit. His wealth could rival a world!
That's right, Chu Xingyun's current wealth was enough to rival the entire Qiankun World.
It was worth mentioning that the spirit stones here were basically none of the first, second, and third grade spirit stones. It seemed that … those low-grade spirit stones had all been eaten by races that could directly devour spirit stones.
Such a huge mountain of spirit stones was completely piled up with fourth grade and above spirit stones. Just casually grabbing a handful would be an astronomical amount of wealth.
As for these spirit stones, Chu Xingyun didn't plan to touch them. It was enough to keep them as backup funds. Unless there was an unavoidable war, the spirit stones here couldn't be wasted.
After making his decision, Chu Xingyun turned around and looked at the Ant Emperor. "Why aren't you resting in the hall? What are you doing here?"
Facing Chu Xingyun's question, the Ant Emperor said, "It's like this. After you left, I suddenly remembered that there was actually a treasure in the space below the hall!"
