“Chen Shao, all of my savings are here.”
Shang Gukong directly handed over the storage ring to Qin Chen.
Qin Chen took a glance and frowned: “Only this much?”
In Shang Gukong's storage ring, there were quite a few Holy Crystals, but they were all low-grade Holy Crystals, numbering around two to three hundred thousand. Besides that, there were some stronger Holy Crystals, which should be middle-grade, but there were only one thousand three hundred pieces.
For a dignified Holy Ancestor, having so few Holy Crystals was simply too little.
“Senior, you may not know, my Gu Zhong Sect has limited resources. It took our founding ancestor a long time to find this underground Holy Pool in the Tian Mang Mountains, which contains a small portion of the Holy Essence from the ancient era. We sealed it with forbidden techniques and built the sect's entrance on top, which has made the Holy Essence in the void a bit denser, giving us some capital.”
“However, this Holy Pool will not last long, and my Gu Zhong Sect doesn’t have much foundation in Cang Xuan City. We are surrounded by strong enemies, and I have been in seclusion for cultivation. The resources consumed each year are astronomical, and if we don’t seize a new Holy Vein soon, my Gu Zhong Sect will soon be left with nothing.”
“Fortunately, the Holy Pool can still hold on for now. If it disappears soon and I haven't broken through, or even if I were to perish, then my Gu Zhong Sect would lose its foundation. Our disciples would gradually dwindle, and it would not be long before we faced extinction.”
Shang Gukong shook his head bitterly, feeling embarrassed; otherwise, he wouldn't have so easily submitted to Qin Chen. The current Gu Zhong Sect was on the brink of survival.
“Forget it, these Holy Crystals will be enough for now. However, upon arriving in Cang Xuan City, we may still need a lot of resources. Let's take it step by step.”
Qin Chen moved his body and directly appeared in the sky above Gu Zhong Sect.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He began to repair the formation above Gu Zhong Sect.
Suddenly, terrifying Holy Energy surged, and the entire Gu Zhong Sect emitted a rumbling sound.
Repairing the Holy Formation was much more troublesome than anything else. Qin Chen spent a full two days and nights to completely reinforce the Holy Formation and upgrade it to an extremely abnormal level. Once the formation was completely transformed, terrifying Holy Formation auras lingered, causing even Shang Gukong to feel a shiver down his spine.
“Impressive.”
Shang Gukong felt that even if he were to inadvertently enter such a formation, he would suffer a loss.
He gained a deeper understanding of Qin Chen's array skills; a late-stage Human Level expert could actually set up a formation that threatened Earth Level experts. Chen Shao's mastery of the formation path was absolutely monstrous.
He considered himself fortunate to have acquired such a treasure.
“Let’s go!”
After arranging everything for Gu Zhong Sect, Qin Chen showed no hesitation and took Shang Gukong and Qin Tingting directly towards Cang Xuan City. As for Mu Daoxuan, he remained to guard Gu Zhong Sect. However, once Qin Chen established himself in Cang Xuan City, Gu Zhong Sect would immediately mobilize to assist Qin Chen in managing the Chen Di Pavilion.
Under Shang Gukong's guidance, moments later, the three had completely left the Tian Mang Mountains.
Qin Chen's current goal was to head to Cang Xuan City while also inquiring about You Qianxue and the others. He felt anxious; it had been several days since he arrived in the Heavenly Realm, and he wondered if Qianxue and the others were near Cang Xuan City. If they weren't here, it would be troublesome.
The Heavenly Realm was too vast. Just the Guang Han Mansion alone had thirteen states, and each state had countless cities like Cang Xuan City. If they were truly scattered, even Qin Chen would find it difficult to locate Qianxue and the others in a short time.
