Chapter 4545

Everyone in the Xiao Dynasty breathed a collective sigh of relief, their faces lighting up with excitement.
This was a true, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Building a friendship with Kai had turned out to be the wisest decision their dynasty had ever made.

“Mr. Chen, from now on, my Xiao Dynasty will erect a statue in your honor. Generations of our descendants will remember your kindness!”
Xiao Yuanshan knelt before Kai with deep reverence.

“Emperor Xiao, please don’t—there’s no need to be so formal!”
Kai quickly helped Xiao Yuanshan to his feet.

“Mr. Chen, you have so many storage bags now—why not check what treasures are inside?”
Ji Yun reminded him with a grin.

Kai nodded and began opening the storage bags.

The resources in the storage bags from the members of the Demon Sealing League were abundant, especially Zuo Tianzheng’s bag, which contained the Demon Sealing League’s offerings collected over a hundred years!

These resources were more than enough for Kai to advance his cultivation. From now on, he wouldn’t need to worry about resources at all.

“Robbing resources is definitely the easiest way to get rich!”
Kai said cheerfully.

“Mr. Chen, take a look at that gilded storage bag—it probably belongs to the big fool!”
Ji Yun pointed to one of the distinctively colored storage bags in Kai’s hands.

Kai opened it and focused his consciousness inside.

Moments later, he was stunned. The storage bag contained countless crystals, each with a lavender hue. The energy within the crystals felt different from typical spiritual energy.

Kai pulled out one of the crystals and asked Xiao Yuanshan, “Emperor Xiao, do you recognize this crystal?”

Xiao Yuanshan carefully examined the crystal, then shook his head. “I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m not even sure if this is a crystal from the heavenly world.”

“This is an immortal stone,” a voice chimed in. “It’s the lowest-grade crystal in the heavenly world. Only cultivators who’ve just ascended to the heavenly realm use it. The energy inside is a mixture of immortal and spiritual energy, which makes it impure.”
“Many cultivators preparing to ascend also like using this type of crystal for practice. It helps smooth the transition in their cultivation techniques,” the Chiyun Demon Lord explained to Kai.

“You see, many cultivators begin their journey refining spiritual energy. When they ascend, they must adjust to absorbing immortal energy. This transformation from spiritual energy to immortal energy takes time and effort.”

The Chiyun Demon Lord continued his explanation.

“Immortal spirit stones may be considered trash in the heavenly world, but they are top-tier crystals for those preparing to ascend.”

After listening, Kai activated his Condensation Heart Technique and instantly absorbed the energy from the immortal spirit stone in his palm.

“This type of stone is useless to ordinary cultivators,” the Chiyun Demon Lord went on. “Most can only refine spiritual energy, not immortal energy, so for them, these stones are inferior to spirit stones.”

“Immortals, on the other hand, can only absorb the immortal energy in these stones, making fairy stones a better choice for their cultivation.”

“And yet,” the Chiyun Demon Lord snorted, “these so-called ‘immortals’ dare to boast while practicing with such pitiful crystals!”

“But for a freak like you, who can refine both spiritual and immortal energy, this stone is a treasure. It’s perfectly suited for you!”

The Chiyun Demon Lord’s voice carried a hint of amusement.

Thanks to Kai’s unique Condensation Heart Technique, capable of refining almost anything, the immortal spirit stone was far from wasted in his hands.

Kai couldn’t hide his excitement. Moments later, he pulled a worn, yellowed map from Narota’s storage bag.

Studying it closely, he immediately recognized it—it was a map of the Tianren Realm, with the five major regions clearly marked.

However, in one corner of the southern region, a specific area was encircled in red.

Kai stared at it for a long time but couldn’t discern what made the marked area special.

“Emperor Xiao,” Kai called out, “how familiar are you with the geography of the Tianren Realm?”

“I know a little,” Xiao Yuanshan replied. “But the war between gods and demons altered the landscape of the realm. May I ask what Mr. Chen is looking for?”
