Chapter 1528: Vast Wealth

Three months later, Ye Yuan finally refined a portion of the Spirit Source Crystal Core.

Information about this great hall surged directly into his sea of consciousness.

What Ye Yuan now controlled was only one-third of the hall.

To further control the Purple Extreme Hall, he needed to cultivate subsequent techniques.

"Hiss... The consumption of divine origin stones is too terrifying!" Ye Yuan clicked his tongue.

Launching an attack capable of killing a first-level Divine Lord required fifty million low-grade divine origin stones.

That was almost equivalent to the entire wealth of a first-level Divine Lord martial artist.

It was because Ye Yuan was an alchemist and extremely formidable that he often carried tens of millions of low-grade divine origin stones on him.

For an ordinary martial artist at Ye Yuan's realm, having a few hundred thousand divine origin stones was already good.

After all, martial artists needed divine origin stones for cultivation and purchasing resources—they were a huge consumable that couldn't be saved.

This was only for first-level Divine Lords; the stronger the opponent, the more terrifying the resource consumption.

Additionally, the resources needed for flight were also frightening: a full day of flying at full speed consumed one million divine origin stones.

"Tsk tsk, this is truly a toy for the rich!" Ye Yuan exclaimed.

"But it's indeed a good thing!" Wuchen praised.

"Senior, is there any way to save that senior from the Purple Extreme Sect?" Ye Yuan asked.

"There's no way to save him. No matter how powerful, one cannot withstand the ravages of time. That was just a wisp of divine thought, sealed for countless ages, and it's about to dissipate," Wuchen said sorrowfully.

"I see. What a pity," Ye Yuan said regretfully.

When Ye Yuan returned to reality, he found the thin old man studying him with a curious expression.

"Senior, thank you!" Ye Yuan cupped his hands.

The old man smiled and said, "I should be the one thanking you. I've been sealed for countless ages, and you've set me free. To have found a successor like you is the fortune of my Purple Extreme Hall! Now I can depart in peace."

Ye Yuan was startled: "Senior, you..."

The old man smiled: "My purpose for existing was to find a suitable successor for the Purple Extreme Hall. Now that you've appeared, I naturally have no reason to remain."

The old man meant he wanted to dissolve his own body!

According to what he had said before, he still had at least a few years to live.

But now, he no longer wished to live.

As he spoke, the old man's figure gradually dissipated.

"Boy, what's your name?" the old man asked.

Ye Yuan replied respectfully, "Junior's name is Ye Yuan."

The old man laughed heartily: "Good! Very good! Ye Yuan, you won't disappoint me! Remember, my name is Nie Sheng, the last sect master of the Purple Extreme Sect. Today, I can finally atone for my sins!"

Ye Yuan watched as the other turned into countless specks of light and gradually dissipated. He sighed and said, "Senior Nie Sheng, rest assured. I will surely carry forward the Purple Extreme Sect."

Hearing this, Nie Sheng's face showed a relieved expression, and he departed contentedly.

With a thought, Ye Yuan appeared in a space within the Purple Extreme Hall.

Looking at the mountain-like pile of divine artifacts before him, Ye Yuan felt as if he were dreaming.

"Tsk tsk, have I become a nouveau riche? A sect's entire treasure trove, all here!" Ye Yuan marveled.

Techniques, martial skills, divine artifacts, divine origin stones...

These cultivation resources were stored in categories within this space, giving Ye Yuan the feeling of having stepped into a treasure trove.

Just the low-grade divine origin stones alone amounted to as many as five billion!

Of course, this was certainly not the original reserve.

Although the Violet Extreme Hall had always been in a sealed state, that did not mean divine origin stones were not consumed.

The consumption was very small, but it could not withstand the passage of time.

It seemed that when Saint Nie sealed the Violet Extreme Hall back then, the number of divine origin stones he controlled must have been quite terrifying.

Now, these five billion were probably just a fraction of what there was at that time.

With these five billion, at least a hundred existences at the first level of the Demon Lord realm could be annihilated.

Of course, the prerequisite was to lure the opponent into the Violet Extreme Hall.

The killing formation of the Violet Extreme Hall could only be activated within the main hall.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder the Blood Yan Hall made such a big fuss. Fifty-six low-grade Divine Lord Profound Treasures—if this news got out, it would cause an uproar!"

In a small space, fifty-six low-grade Divine Lord Profound Treasures floated quietly, stirring the soul.

Only Ye Yuan; if it were anyone else, they would probably go mad.

Incomparably precious Divine Lord Profound Treasures, fifty-six of them at once—this was simply an astronomical number!

The value of a single Divine Lord Profound Treasure started at a minimum of ten billion.

Ye Yuan had instantly acquired wealth of five hundred and sixty billion, not counting the value of other techniques and martial skills.

And this was just the market price; who would be foolish enough to sell a Divine Lord Profound Treasure?

Thus, the price of a Divine Lord Profound Treasure was often several times higher than the market price!

Ye Yuan had been complacent earlier about obtaining the Xuanhuang Cauldron, but he never expected that in the blink of an eye, he would find himself in an ocean of Divine Lord Profound Treasures.

However, most of these Divine Lord Profound Treasures were weapons like sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, with a few auxiliary types, but no medicine cauldrons.

A Divine Lord Profound Treasure medicine cauldron was a scarce item to begin with, and to alchemists, it was simply priceless.

Moreover, alchemists were extremely wealthy, so the price of a medicine cauldron simply could not be judged by common sense.

Something like the Xuanhuang Cauldron was simply unavailable on the market.

Ye Yuan carefully examined these Divine Lord Profound Treasures, and with a thought, a longsword flew into his hand.

"Junyi Sword, hmm... not bad, you're the one!"

Ye Yuan played with it a few times and was very satisfied with this sword.

The Zhuxie Sword was already holding Ye Yuan back for his current level.

When battling some geniuses, many used divine artifacts, putting Ye Yuan at a great disadvantage.

Ye Yuan had looked over all these Divine Lord Profound Treasures, and only this Junyi Sword was the most suitable for him.

With this Junyi Sword, Ye Yuan's combat power would skyrocket to another level.

After all, even among Divine Lord realm experts, few could afford to use Divine Lord Profound Treasures.

"You still cannot fully refine the Violet Extreme Hall. The truly good stuff should be in the higher-level spaces. These treasures are just a drop in the bucket for a sect at the True God peak." Wuchen said.

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "That makes sense. But did the Tongtian Realm ever have such sects?"

Wuchen shook his head and said, "That I don't know. The Tongtian Realm has existed for too long; no one knows what the ancient era was like. Perhaps before the current格局 formed, the Tongtian Realm was filled with sects. Such matters might only be known by beings like the Supreme Heavenly Emperor or the Dao Ancestor."

"I see. Then establishing a sect might be quite difficult." Ye Yuan said helplessly.

If Ye Yuan established a sect now, it would undoubtedly break the existing order, and he would become a target of public criticism.

In the short term, his promise to Saint Nie would probably be impossible to fulfill.
