“Haha, great! That’s fantastic!”
Emperor Firecloud burst into uncontrollable laughter upon seeing the Qiankun Crystal.
With the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron, they could produce vast amounts of Qiankun Crystals.
The significance of this was simply too immense!
“Master, this treasure has been in my possession for some time, but due to its immense importance, I only brought it out now. I hope you understand,” Lin Yun said.
“You did the right thing. Such a valuable treasure, if its existence were leaked, could shake the entire cultivation world, potentially causing chaos with unimaginable consequences,” Emperor Firecloud said solemnly.
This item could drive even Dominant Realm experts to shamelessly, immorally, and recklessly compete for it, regardless of the cost!
Did anyone really think all Immortals were selfless? Impossible!
The four empires, including the Xingwu Empire, had their share of grudges, as did other factions. Some Immortals even harbored deep vendettas, only restrained by the Heavenly God Palace’s authority, which had kept major conflicts at bay among the eight major forces for years.
Why could the Heavenly God Palace make all Immortals obediently join and follow its orders? Because it controlled the Haoyue Crystals, a resource everyone needed to join to access.
Even the Heavenly God Palace refused to disclose the source of their Haoyue Crystals, ultimately driven by selfish motives.
They controlled the Haoyue Crystals to dominate the Immortals, ensuring their willing obedience.
“I understand, Master. That’s why I never mentioned this treasure to anyone before. You’re the first to know, as I trust you completely,” Lin Yun said.
Emperor Firecloud felt gratified hearing this. His disciple hadn’t been nurtured in vain.
He knew the immense trust Lin Yun showed by revealing the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron to him.
Such a treasure could turn master against disciple, lovers against each other, even leading to betrayal and violence.
Yet Lin Yun chose to show it to him.
“Disciple, since you possess this treasure, I’ll use the Xingwu Empire’s full resources to provide you with ample materials to produce Qiankun Crystals for our cultivation!” Emperor Firecloud declared.
“Good, the Qiankun Crystals we produce will first help you break through to the Triple All-Encompassing Realm!” Lin Yun said with a smile.
Emperor Firecloud smiled, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
With this, not only he and Lin Yun but the entire Firecloud Empire lineage would see a significant boost in strength.
Of course, this boost had limits. No matter how many Qiankun Crystals they had, the bottleneck of major realms remained a formidable barrier.
“By the way, Master, should we inform Deputy Palace Master Yao about this?” Lin Yun asked.
“No need. The Heavenly God Palace controls Haoyue Crystals and has no use for our Qiankun Crystals. Telling them about the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron is pointless and might even backfire,” Emperor Firecloud said.
The Heavenly God Palace controlled the Immortals through its strength and Haoyue Crystals. If they learned Lin Yun had the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron, they might demand he hand it over.
Such an item was like a universal currency, meant to be controlled solely by the Heavenly God Palace. How could they allow others to control its production?
“I understand, Master,” Lin Yun nodded.
“Though we’re allies with the Heavenly God Palace and other factions like the Zhutian Alliance, we must remain cautious in certain matters,” Emperor Firecloud added.
He then repeatedly warned Lin Yun not to leak news of the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron to anyone.
Afterwards, he told Lin Yun to return home, promising to send a batch of resources to him soon for producing Qiankun Crystals.
After Lin Yun left, Emperor Firecloud mused with an expectant smile, “Now, reaching the Triple All-Encompassing Realm is truly within sight!”
Breaking through to the next realm had always been his aspiration.
Shortly after Lin Yun returned to his residence from the palace, Emperor Firecloud sent someone with a storage ring.
“Lord Lin, His Majesty instructed me to deliver this to you,” the Imperial Guard Commander said, handing over the storage ring.
“Thank you for your trouble,” Lin Yun replied with a smile, accepting it.
“No trouble at all, Lord Lin. The item is delivered, so I’ll take my leave,” the commander said before departing.
“Daddy, what good stuff did His Majesty send you this time?” Lin Kexin asked, bounding into the courtyard with youthful energy and a playful smile.
“Just some resources. Kexin, while focusing on array cultivation, don’t neglect your realm. I’ll fully support you with resources,” Lin Yun said earnestly.
Even if Kexin specialized in arrays, her realm was still fundamental.
“Mm,” Lin Kexin nodded vigorously.
Lin Yun took the storage ring to his training chamber and opened it.
“So much stuff!”
Lin Yun was shocked by the contents of the storage space.
The space was vast, filled with various weapons, artifacts, herbs, rare items, and natural ores.
There were at least tens of thousands of super-divine weapons, hundreds of precious Holy Spirit-grade items, and countless other materials.
And this was just the first batch from his master.
“Getting resources from Master was indeed a wise move. Collecting this much on my own would be nearly impossible and extremely taxing,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
After all, Emperor Firecloud had the entire Firecloud Empire’s resources at his disposal.
Lin Yun then summoned the Qiankun Supreme Cauldron.
“Spirit, you’ll have your work cut out for you. With so much to refine, you’ll be working non-stop for a while,” Lin Yun said.
“That’s my duty,” the cauldron’s spirit replied.
The Qiankun Supreme Cauldron began refining the resources at full capacity.
Lin Yun left the crystal production to the spirit and focused on his own cultivation.
“Next, it’s time to study the ‘Heavenly Source Sword Technique,’” Lin Yun murmured.
This technique, the culmination of the Human Emperor’s lifelong efforts, was far more powerful than the Shadow Sword Art. Mastering it would significantly enhance Lin Yun’s combat strength.
Just as he was about to begin, his communication bracelet received a message from the Master of the Carefree Tower…
