CHAPTER 544: CHAPTER 437 EPILOGUE [VOTE FOR MONTHLY TICKET!]

"Go, go, go!"

"We can’t stay here!"

"The treasury! The treasury! Dammit! The treasury has formations and restrictions set up; there’s no way to break through them in a short time!"

"There’s no time, retreat, retreat!"

The Immortal Sect and the Daoist Fields had Upper Immortals scattering like stars, fleeing in all directions without even managing to open their own treasuries. They knew full well that the Chen couple didn’t hesitate to kill even Immortal Venerables and Heavenly Venerates; for mere Upper Immortals like them, there was no need to think twice.

Who would dare linger?

Thus, Chen Jichuan and the others were able to advance unabated.

No Immortal Venerable or Heavenly Venerate stood guard, no Upper Immortal blocked their path; only the formations guarding the treasury remained. These formations would prevent ordinary Upper Immortals from accessing the treasures in a short time, but for Chen Jichuan and Wang Yan, they were effortless to bypass.

Chen Jichuan, accompanied by Wang Yan, didn’t even bother breaking the formations. Instead, a vertical eye on his forehead opened, granting him ’Insight’ into the secrets of all formations. They moved through effortlessly, as though strolling through their own backyard.

Inside, treasures stretched dazzlingly before them.

"Here!"

"Move it all!"

The treasures in the treasury were numerous; the couple didn’t even have time to catalog them. They emptied one treasury before moving to the next.

They worked tirelessly, busy beyond belief.

Several months later.

Over half the wealth of the Nine Heavens had been claimed by the Chen couple and Wang Yan.

...

Fierce Bird Mountain.

Chen Jichuan and Wang Yan returned to the mountain.

Before them lay numerous magical treasures.

Among them were Immortal Treasures left behind by Immortal Venerables and Heavenly Venerates after their deaths. Each was a heavily refined treasure that took years to forge, possessing extraordinary power and unique uses. To the Heavenly Venerates, every Immortal Treasure represented the culmination of their life’s work and the considerable wealth they had invested.

In Chongming Realm, Immortal Treasures were valuable yet hard to find; top-tier Immortal Treasures were even rarer.

Immortal Treasures were Fourth-order Magic Treasures, forged by Fourth Realm Heavenly Venerates and Immortal Venerables who extracted immortal energy outside the Immortal Sect to refine their magical treasures.

Thus, even Immortal Treasures varied in grade.

Immortal Treasures refined from ordinary Fourth-order Magic Treasures were naturally the most basic.

But if the treasure was originally a top-grade Fourth-order Magic Treasure, refined into an Immortal Treasure, and then further refined over tens of thousands of years, its value became immeasurable.

Treasures like Golden Light Immortal Venerable’s Lifebound Immortal Treasure were each valued higher than the ’Seven Emotions and Six Desires Map.’ If sold, they could fetch over a thousand Fang Yuan Crystals.

At this level, they had acquired a total of nine pieces.

Additionally, there were slightly inferior ones worth three to five hundred Fang Yuan Crystals—seventeen pieces in total.

Next in line were treasures equivalent to the ’Nine Treasures Glazed Tower’ and ’Purple Mansion Immortal Gourd,’ valued at one to two hundred Fang Yuan Crystals—forty-four pieces in all.

Excluding even lower-tier Immortal Treasures, just these three grades alone amounted to over twenty thousand Fang Yuan Crystals in value.

"We’ve struck gold!"

Wang Yan’s smile stretched from ear to ear as he calculated the value of the glowing Immortal Treasures before them.

The couple’s expenses during their forty thousand years in the Yu Ming Immortal Court combined totaled no more than fifty to sixty thousand Fang Yuan Crystals, most of which were spent on cultivating Divine Skills, accounting for forty thousand Fang Yuan Crystals alone.

This time, the Immortal Treasures alone recouped nearly half.

The sudden windfall was undeniably exhilarating, dispersing much of the melancholy of their impending separation.

"There’s more than just this,"

Chen Jichuan remarked with a smile at Wang Yan, clearly in excellent spirits.

He set aside several dozen Immortal Treasures and began opening a series of storage magic treasures, counting items one by one—

A thousand Fang Yuan Crystals.

Two thousand Fang Yuan Crystals.

Three thousand Fang Yuan Crystals.

The innumerable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures stored in the treasuries of the Seven Great Immortal Courts and All Heavens Venerable Daoist Fields were difficult to appraise for now, but the vast quantities of Spirit Crystals, Primordial Stones, and Spirit Crystals within could be calculated.

On top of those carried by Immortal Venerables and Heavenly Venerates:

"Seventy-four thousand Fang Yuan Crystals!"

Nearly a million Fang Yuan Crystals—a jaw-dropping number.

"This is insane!"

Though Chen Jichuan and Wang Yan had anticipated this, they were still staggering under the shock.

Over forty thousand years, the Yu Ming Immortal Court had invested fifty to sixty thousand Fang Yuan Crystals in the couple’s cultivation while still retaining excess stores.

The Yu Ming Immortal Court’s net worth must exceed a hundred thousand Fang Yuan Crystals.

The other Immortal Venerables and Immortal Courts were likely similar.

The various Heavenly Venerates and their Daoist Fields fell somewhat short but combined were likely on par with one or two Immortal Courts.

Yet the wealth here encompassed much more than just Spirit Crystals; the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures surpassed numerical valuation but could certainly rival the crystal totals.

A hundred and fifty thousand!

Perhaps even close to two hundred thousand Fang Yuan Crystals!

Even though the couple had already estimated these figures while emptying the treasuries, seeing this wealth actually piled before them and calculating in detail still left them staggered.

"Overflowing with riches."

"No wonder Yu Ming Immortal Venerable was that extravagantly wealthy."

Chen Jichuan and Wang Yan let out a long breath, exchanged glances, and burst into laughter.

Previously, the couple had lived rather frugally, relying heavily on the Yu Ming Immortal Court for support; they barely had any concept of wealth in terms of Fang Yuan Crystals, always feeling short on resources.

This time, with nearly two million Fang Yuan Crystals worth of assets obtained all at once, they showed a momentary lapse in composure.

After all, they were still human; even immortals couldn’t escape the allure of wealth.

"These..."

Wang Yan swallowed hard.

"I’ll keep a portion for cultivation; you take the rest,"

Chen Jichuan said directly.

His upcoming cultivation would be straightforward, and his strength in Chongming Realm had already reached an invincible level. Whatever resources he required could easily be acquired.

Leaving roughly ten thousand Fang Yuan Crystals’ worth of resources would more than suffice, particularly the rarer Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in Chongming Realm.

He left the remainder for Wang Yan.

In the Upper Realm, unfamiliar as he would be with the surroundings, it would be difficult to quickly find means to earn crystals and resources. Taking more along was undoubtedly the wisest choice.

As for Fierce Bird Mountain,

Chen Jichuan intended to stay in Chongming Realm for now; he had plenty of time to build up his reserves slowly.
