Chapter 320: Chapter 238: Gu Insects for Resisting Heavenly Tribulation: Robbery Thunder Worm_2

Just collecting the rents of these cultivators was already enough to amass a fortune.

After all, living in Immortal Mist City was not free; everyone had to pay rent.

Even trading any item required the payment of taxes.

“Yes, it’s because of these matters that my lord wants to construct a fourth stage formation, which fits perfectly with our interests.”

“If the fourth stage formation is successfully constructed, those sea clan cultivators, those demon cultivators, and even the demonic beasts will be nothing to fear.”

“Our Tri-Star Island Group will be completely safe.”

Leng Yuexi and other were looking at Zhou Sui with utter anticipation.

They were well aware of the formidable power of a fourth stage formation; even the headquarters of a Nascent Soul sect was protected by nothing more than a fourth stage formation.

If a sect had the protection of a fourth stage formation, it could at least ensure its lineage would not be wiped out for thousands of years.

This was the true foundation of a millennial sect.

Because cultivators can always die, but a formation can last for thousands of years.

“Good, good, it seems that I’ve underestimated the wealth of Immortal Mist City.”

“In that case, the collection of materials for the fourth stage formation will be left to you.”

“But you must act secretly and not let others discover.”

“Otherwise, if those demon cultivators learned that we plan to construct a fourth-stage grand formation, who knows what kind of trouble might arise.”

Zhou Sui warned.

He didn’t want the news of the Tri-Star Island Group’s developing fourth stage grand formation to become widely known.

This fourth stage grand formation was best kept as a trump card.

When the enemy arrived at the Tri-Star Island Group, it would be enough to give them a hard time.

Let the enemies taste the power of his array.

“Rest assured, my lord, leave this matter to us.”

Ji Bingyu and others confidently replied.

They had long been familiar with such matters and maintained good trade relations with other islands.

Buying these materials was as easy as pie for them.

“Ya Zhu, how’s your condition now?”

“How’s the preparation for the Nascent Soul stage?”

Zhou Sui looked at Lin Yazhu, who had been preparing for the Nascent Soul stage over the years, using Nascent Soul spiritual objects to expel the impurities in her body to meet the requirements for the Nascent Soul stage.

“Not bad.”

“There should be no major problems with the first step of the Nascent Soul stage, which is shattering the Golden Core stage.”

“I’m just worried about the second step, the Heart Devil Tribulation.”

“And the third step, the Heavenly Tribulation.”

Lin Yazhu spoke with some worry, even with the Nascent Soul spiritual objects on her body, she could not guarantee that she would succeed in reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

If she could not overcome the Heart Devil Tribulation, she would indeed die.

And this trial was one she could only rely on herself to overcome.

Even cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots often failed at this stage.

“No need to fear, I have a way to help you through the second step, the Heart Devil Tribulation.”

“As for the third step, the Heavenly Tribulation, I’ve also found a solution.”

Zhou Sui gave a slight smile.

The Summoning Demon Heart Scripture he cultivated was an unparalleled secret technique to deal with the Heart Demon. By using the Summoning Demon Heart Scripture, he could summon the Heart Demon inside Lin Yazhu’s body and let the Dream Soul Gu eat it.

In this way, Lin Yazhu could pass the second stage without risk.

As for the third stage, the Heavenly Tribulation, he had also found a solution.

That was to refine a new kind of Gu insect, called the Robbery Thunder Worm.

This type of Gu insect was very special and fed on the lightning from Heaven and Earth. It could control all the lightning between Heaven and Earth, with endless mystery.

If the Robbery Thunder Worm could be refined, it could be used to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.

This would greatly reduce the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

The problem was that the main ingredient for refining the Robbery Thunder Worm was extremely rare. It was called the Thunder Robbery Fruit.

This was a special kind of Spirit Fruit.

It was the fruit of a particular Spirit Tree; the fruit formed by absorbing the power of Heavenly Tribulation.

After consuming it, one could resist the Heavenly Tribulation to a certain extent.

It could be described as extremely precious and priceless.

Even in the auction of Wuji Island, it could not be found.

This was a rare material that money could not buy.

Therefore, he planned to use the power of the Object-searching Gu to find the heavenly Tribulation Fruit.

“What’s the solution?”

Upon hearing this, both Lin Yazhu and Shen Biqian’s eyes widened with excitement.

After all, if a true method to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation was found, the success rate of reaching the Nascent Soul stage would increase significantly.

They were aware of their husbands’ mysterious methods, and they wondered if he could indeed discover a way to endure both the Heart Devil Tribulation and the Heavenly Tribulation.

“As for that, I cannot tell you yet. You will learn in due time.”

Zhou Sui responded with a slight smile.

“Darling, do share, I’ll serve you many times over.”

“I’m willing to practice any cultivation posture.”

Shen Biqian clung to Zhou Sui. Her voice was naturally sultry, extraordinarily alluring as it seeped into his bones.

Hearing her words, Zhou Sui could hardly resist. After all, they were husband and wife; he didn’t need to keep pretenses.

Soon, delightful tunes filled their bedroom.

…

At that moment, hidden on one of the islands in the Tri-Star Island Group, was a group of cultivators.

They were the demon cultivators from the Black Kill Sect.

The collapse of the Yu family, the Dai family, the Song family, and many others were largely connected to them.

Now, they had set their sights on Immortal Mist City.

“Immortal Mist City is abundant in resources, housing over five million cultivators.”

“Just its yearly rent must earn an unimaginable amount of spirit stones.”

“If we could loot Immortal Mist City, we’ll make enough spirit stones for our nascent souls.”

A Golden Core demon cultivator’s eyes gleamed with greed.

For these demon cultivators, earning money through alchemy, talisman making, and other cultivation techniques was utterly impossible.

Only through plunder and robbery could they barely scrape by.

Their central principle was to loot, kill, and pillage.

It could be said that most demon cultivators relied on these survival skills, knowing nothing else.

“Fool, do you think I don’t want to loot Immortal Mist City?”

“But Immortal Mist City is far too dangerous. Even the likes of the Late Golden Core cultivator Red Blooded Old Monster once attacked it.”

“What happened then? They were all butchered by the three Golden Core female cultivators from the city who even traded their heads for rewards at the Wuji Alliance.”

“You surely don’t want to follow in the Red Blooded Old Monster’s footsteps, do you?”

Chided another Golden Core demon cultivator with a cold laugh.

He warned his comrade sternly that Immortal Mist City was not a bone easy to gnaw on.

“It’s been said that the Red Blooded Old Monster had a third-grade prohibition-breaking talisman, yet it proved useless.”

“This is because Immortal Mist City concealed a third-grade array master.”

“This array master seemed to be the partner of those three Golden Core female cultivators, spending all his time cultivating within the sect.”

“Locating him is an impossible task.”

Another Golden Core demon cultivator stated grumpily.

He had consistently plotted to capture the third-grade array master, yet, he had never managed to see that lad in Immortal Mist City.

He was always cooped up inside the mountain gate.

One could say there was never an opportunity to catch him off guard.

Moreover, he could not possibly venture into the core grounds of Immortal Mist Sect, that would be no different from walking into a trap.

“That third-grade array master is indeed extraordinary, with an unfathomable Formation Cultivation Level.”

“I once attempted to find the formation nodes but came back empty handed.”

“I was even potentially spotted by the patrol team.”

“In short, Immortal Mist City is a hard nut to crack, don’t meddle with it recklessly, or else our ship might overturn in the gutter.”

“We are here merely to seek wealth, not to risk our lives.”

“Robbery should aim for softer targets, not a bone hard to chew.”

Another Golden Core demon cultivator gave his opinion.

He felt that Immortal Mist City was a formidable adversary, like stepping into a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair, filled with significant risks.

Therefore, he was having second thoughts.

“Alright, if you all hesitate to vie against Immortal Mist City, then forget it. We can also go find some other third-stage islands.”

“This invasion by the Sea Clan is a golden opportunity for our Black Kill Sect.”

“Isn’t it? Amidst the chaos created by the Sea Clan, we can fish in troubled waters and raid many Golden Core families.”

“The loot we secured these few years exceeded the sum of our hauls from the past couple of decades. We’re truly rolling in wealth.”

“I hope this war can last a bit longer. Otherwise, where could we find such an opportunity?”

“But what happens if the Sea Clan wins?”

“What’s there to fear? The world is vast. Where could we not go?”

“Indeed, even though we do not stay in the Canglan Sea area, we can travel to other places. Do you think the Sea Clan could conquer all the lands? Not to mention, it’s uncertain whether they would even win.”

“After my death, what concern would I have about a surging flood?”

The Black Kill Sect cultivators were in a heated discussion, looking down upon the clan wars, completely self-centered and indifferent.
