Chapter 4522 Every Grain Counts

Wow! Senior, youre amazing! Not only did you raid the kitchen, but you also managed to s.n.a.t.c.h their pots and even the stove! exclaimed Long Chen.

Long Chen's eyes widened as he beheld a vast new medicinal field stretching tens of thousands of miles. To his amazement, the Earth Cauldron had claimed the entire medicinal field.

Every grain counts; nothing should go to waste, remarked the Earth Cauldron lightly. Despite its composed tone, Long Chen could hear a trace of pride in its words.

The Earth Cauldron had stripped away an entire layer of the medicinal field, uprooting all the plants. This audacious act left the six Saints fuming with rage, even to the point of coughing up blood.

Originally, due to time constraints, Long Chen had only been planning on taking the Saint-level plants. However, the Earth Cauldron spared nothing, leaving not a single trace of the Heavenly Corrupt Sect's vegetation.

Overwhelmed by the Earth Cauldrons prowess, Long Chen felt an impulse to bow in reverence. In response, the Earth Cauldron said, Gathering these plants depleted quite a bit of my energy. When you have time, we should refine more pills so that I can recover.

Long Chen knew that the Earth Cauldron helped him because it also needed to recover. The only shortcut to its recovery was to refine pills.

This was why it had taken the initiative to help him gather these medicinal ingredients. It seemed that they were also very important to it.

The Earth Cauldron said, This time, the harvest wasnt bad. There were over thirty Saint medicinal ingredients, with several of them being top grade. Now, I can refine a dozen kinds of Saint pills with them, and theyll be greatly beneficial to both of us.

Refining the pills wont be difficult, but I have to leave the Heavenly Corrupt Sects territory first. The disturbance caused by these pills will undoubtedly attract them, especially their terrifying sect master. Senior, do you know what realm hes in? asked Long Chen.

Hes in the same realm as you.

What? Hes a World King?! I dont believe it! exclaimed Long Chen.

Not that realm. Another realm. Dont you have another t.i.tle? replied the Earth Cauldron.

A t.i.tle? Sage King? Long Chen was befuddled.

Yes. He is in the highest of the three realms of Eternity, the Sage King realm.

Sage King is a realm? I thought it was just a t.i.tle for a genius, said Long Chen in disbelief.

It is a t.i.tle but also a realm. Those who obtain the t.i.tle of Sage King will definitely be able to reach the Sage King realm. To put it frankly, it is just an early access ticket to the Sage King realm. In truth, this t.i.tle has saved your life once. Otherwise, you would have died when you tried to do that soulsearch, explained the Earth Cauldron.

What do you mean? asked Long Chen.

When you did your soulsearch, you triggered a Sage Kings seal, which was supposed to transform into a curse to kill the person doing the soulsearch. However, this Sage King curse is only effective against people with a lower realm. Since you are also a Sage King, the curse did not manifest, answered the Earth Cauldron.

Hearing its explanation, Long Chen was taken aback. It seemed that the karmic luck of his t.i.tle had inadvertently saved his life again.

Recall that moment. When that Corrupt expert died, you immediately sensed danger and fled. Theoretically, under the suppression of the sect masters Sage King realm, escaping in time should have been impossible. Typically, one wouldn't have a chance to react before succ.u.mbing to the attack. Yet, you managed to evade it. That was also due to your status as Sage King. Therefore, you shouldnt complain. The t.i.tle of Sage King is actually very important to you. Some matters cant be judged simply by looking at the surface. Often, unseen factors silently shape the course of your destiny, explained the Earth Cauldron.

Despite Long Chen having the t.i.tle of Sage King, the Heavenly Daos continued to target him. This constant struggle frustrated Long Chen, leading him to complain several times about how the t.i.tle of Sage King was a joke.

However, with the Earth Cauldrons insightful explanation, Long Chen realized he might have been too hasty in his judgment. After hastily thanking the Earth Cauldron, Long Chen felt like most of his resentment had vanished.

Next, Long Chen set his gaze onto one of the Heavenly Corrupt Sects mining operationsa spirit stone mine.

The primal chaos spirit stones found in the ninth world differed significantly from those in the outside world, mainly due to the thousands of times denser primal chaos qi in this realm. Thus, the spirit stones here werent categorized into low grade, middle grade, and top grade. Instead, all of them were top grade.

If the natives found any low grade or middle grade spirit stone deposits, they wouldnt start the excavation. They would wait until they matured into top-grade spirit stones before excavating them.

Furthermore, amongst these primal chaos spirit stones, there were unique specimens that harbored distinct elemental attributes. For example, some of them contained metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, dark, and various other elements.

These particular spirit stones were unprecedented in both the Darklight Heaven and the Nirvana Overflow Heaven; their existence had never been witnessed or even heard of before.

When Long Chen discovered these special spirit stones, he found himself irresistibly drawn to them, as if he had stumbled upon a treasure trove. Long Chen felt like he had been a frog at the bottom of a well now the entire time. There were many good things here.

As a result, Long Chen stealthily slipped toward their spirit stone mine. However, this time, the Heavenly Corrupt Sect had learned their lesson and were on high guard. With dozens of Saints patrolling the surroundings, Long Chen had no opportunity to sneak in like before.

Long Chen wasnt afraid of these Saints as he had the new saber. Even if he couldnt beat them, he felt like he could always run away.

Long Chen was just worried that he would encounter their sect master, knowing it was his luck that allowed him to escape last time.

However, if this spirit stone mine had a trap set up inside of it... Well, the sect master was no fool. He would definitely not allow Long Chen to escape again.

Long Chen examined their operation for a full day and then intentionally made an opening for them to notice him. He immediately fled, but just before leaving, he sensed an aura that shook his heart.

As expected, there was a trap. As soon as he tested it, they exposed themselves. Although the sect master did not appear, Long Chen already sensed him.

Tch, they want to play hide and seek with me? Ill play you to death!

Thus, Long Chen started to run around the Heavenly Corrupt Sects territory randomly, causing trouble everywhere. He didnt go to places with high security and just specifically targeted places without much importance.

There was no way to be on guard against bandits forever; there was only a forever bandit. The Heavenly Corrupt Sect had many businesses, so there were too many places for them to defend. Long Chen was like a ghost flitting around the place. The Heavenly Corrupt Sect was unable to tolerate things any longer, but they also couldnt do much.

Several days later, Long Chen sensed something wrong. The Heavenly Corrupt Sect had started s.h.i.+fting their manpower and directly threw away some veins of ore. Even the guards were pulled away.

Long Chens guard went up as he noticed their experts gathering. Just as he thought that they were about to move against him in full force, he realized that they were all going in the same direction.

Long Chen tailed them and quickly saw a shocking scene.
