Chapter 595: Obtaining the Innate Star Tree, the Wealth of a Great Luo Golden Immortal

"Master."

Seeing Zhou Sui appear, Tianku Daoren and Tiansang Daoren immediately said respectfully.

Although their eyes still seemed to show a slight struggle, complete submission was merely a matter of time.

With their strength, it was impossible to resist the power of the Dream Soul Gu.

However, for now, they could already be simply manipulated.

At the very least, they would not put up any resistance.

"Tianjue Daoist is dead."

"You need to come forward personally to calm the ripples of this matter."

Zhou Sui spoke.

"Master, then how should we proceed?"

"Yes, Master."

Furthermore, according to the current strength of the Tianjue Sect, even with Tianjue Daoist dead, there were still two Great Luo Golden Immortals guarding it, so other forces would not dare to covet anything.

But if Tianjue Daoist died while attempting to break through to Immortal King, then no one would pay it any mind.

At this moment, with a thought from Zhou Sui, he immediately obtained a Great Luo Dao Fruit from the corpse of Tianjue Daoist, and then sensed the Cave Heaven World inside the Dao Fruit, which stored vast amounts of Treasure.

As long as there was the endorsement of Tianku Daoren and Tiansang Daoren, the Heavenly Court would not send anyone to investigate.

There was absolutely no need to alarm those old antiques in the Heavenly Court.

It was still necessary to develop in a low-key manner.

"Just find any reason to brush it off."

"This way, the severity of the matter can be minimized."

But even so, it did not mean he could do whatever he wanted in the Immortal World.

Who knows how many Great Luo Golden Immortals had done similar things and ended up dead and extinguished.

He had not only resolved a major threat but also seized control of an ancient Daluo Force.

After all, similar things happened frequently in the Immortal World.

"Other immortals will not suspect anything; after all, such things are very common."

The Tianjue Sect remained as stable as Mount Tai.

Even though he was now a Great Luo Golden Immortal, his strength had improved to a certain degree compared to before.

Zhou Sui felt very satisfied; as long as Tianku Daoren and Tiansang Daoren made the arrangements, the impact of this matter would be reduced to the minimum level and would not affect him.

"This Tianjue Daoist actually had such an encounter?"

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.

Tianku Daoren asked.

They also knew that the death of Tianjue Daoist could not possibly be hidden.

"We will definitely handle this matter properly; there will not be any problems."

"We know what to do about this matter."

"Are these the treasures left behind by Tianjue Daoist?"

Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.

So it was better to fabricate a reason, so that no one would pay attention to the Tianjue Sect.

Therefore, although the death of Tianjue Daoist was very sudden, it was not impossible.

"For example, you can claim to the outside world that Tianjue Daoist died from a cultivation deviation while attempting to break through to Immortal King."

"Wait, is this a seedling of the Innate Star Tree?"

Any Great Luo Golden Immortal would covet it.

Although it could not compare to Tianya Daoren, such an accumulation was still astonishing enough.

These were all the accumulations of Tianjue Daoist over many years.

Although he possessed the power of the Luck Gu and could avoid all investigations of karma, not needing to worry about being tracked by other immortals.

But it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Tianku Daoren and Tiansang Daoren both nodded.

Afterwards, he would still be able to hide in the shadows and develop steadily.

"Very good."

This is a famous Innate Spiritual Root in the Immortal World.

He sensed that inside this Dao Fruit Grotto-Heaven, there appeared a seedling of an Innate Star Tree.

If Tianjue Daoist had been killed, the Human Heavenly Court would certainly investigate this matter to the end.

It could be said to be killing many birds with one stone, obtaining infinite benefits.

Its preciousness was in no way inferior to the Wutong Tree, Laurel Tree, Five-Needle Pine, Flat Peach Tree, and other Innate Spiritual Roots.

According to legend, the Innate Star Tree is an Innate Spiritual Root nurtured in a mysterious place in the Immortal World.

It grows very strangely, with a deep blue body and deep blue leaves.

It flowers in a trillion years, bears fruit in a trillion years, and ripens in a trillion years.

Each time it ripens, it condenses three hundred and sixty-five Taigu Stars.

It is said that in the Taigu era of the Immortal World, an Immortal King once plucked three hundred and sixty-five Taigu Stars and refined them into an Immortal King-level array—the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Array, connecting and operating this vast and complex star power.

Once this array is activated, it erupts with immeasurable starlight, and under the illumination of the starlight, all things are annihilated.

Relying solely on this Immortal Array, one could be invincible.

It even almost unified the Immortal World.

However, it is rumored that the Innate Star Tree was destroyed long ago during a catastrophe.

Unexpectedly, its seedling was actually found by Tianjue Daoist.

It is a pity, however, that the growth cycle of the Innate Star Tree is truly too long.

Even with the Longevity of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, one cannot wait until the Innate Star Tree reaches full maturity.

Therefore, even though Tianjue Daoist obtained the Innate Star Tree seedling, he could only stare at it helplessly.

He was simply unable to gain much benefit from it.

"Too good."

"This is simply a Treasure tailored for me."

Zhou Sui's eyes lit up, and he felt very excited.

To be honest, for him, the function of the Star Fruit condensed by the Innate Star Tree is not just that; more importantly, it can promote the growth of the Daluo Cave Heaven within his body.

One must know that his Daluo Cave Heaven is truly too vast, with a diameter of a full twenty light-years.

It is equivalent to the area of ten solar systems.

Such a massive area requires an incomparably massive amount of Immortal Substance to fill.

If he were to rely on his own bitter cultivation, Zhou Sui would not know when he could fill his Daluo Cave Heaven; it would not be strange even if it took hundreds of billions of years.

But now it is different.

The appearance of the Innate Star Tree has completely helped him solve this problem.

As long as it can gestate Star Fruits, once he swallows these Star Fruits, they will merge into his Cave Heaven World and transform into Taigu Stars.

By then, it will not take an overly long time for the Cave Heaven World within his body to be filled with Taigu Stars.

Afterwards, his cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.

Then, in a short period of time, his cultivation might rise to Golden Immortal Perfection.

If there were no assistance from the Innate Star Tree, he would not know when he could succeed.

"This Tianjue Daoist is simply my gift-giving boy."

"It was indeed correct to personally take action and finish off this Tianjue Daoist."

"I actually obtained the seedling of the Innate Star Tree."

"And I also gained the entire force of the Tianjue Sect."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists.

He saw that the Luck on his person had surged further; the Luck Golden Dragon that originally roamed above the Xuanhuang Sect seemed to have been filled with vast Luck, and its body had become even more massive.

This harvest alone is enough to allow himself and the Xuanhuang Sect to gain endless benefits.

This will also help him grow rapidly.

Of course, the Treasures inside Tianjue Daoist's Cave Heaven World are not just the Innate Star Tree seedling.

There are also a full two billion Supreme Grade Immortal Stones, which is an extremely astonishing wealth.

He does not know how long Tianjue Daoist had been accumulating them.

It is estimated that these Supreme Grade Immortal Stones were all prepared by Tianjue Daoist for the purpose of advancing to Immortal King.

Besides this, there are also a large number of Immortal Pills and Immortal Medicines.

There are even many Immortal Artifacts and so on.

It is simply dazzling.

If added all together, it is estimated to be worth billions of Supreme Grade Immortal Stones.

Without a doubt, this harvest is in no way inferior to the last time at Tianya Dongtian.

If nothing else, the Innate Star Tree seedling alone is enough to recoup the cost.

After all, an Innate Spiritual Root like this cannot be found just anywhere.

This is a plant that has gone extinct in the Immortal World.

"Not bad."

Zhou Sui felt very satisfied.

Without a doubt, the harvest obtained this time is enough for him to cultivate for a very long time.

One must know that after reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the resources required are simply not what one could have imagined before.

Therefore, in order to obtain sufficient cultivation resources, Great Luo Golden Immortals can only establish their own forces and have numerous subordinates collect various cultivation resources for them.

Basically, a Great Luo Golden Immortal who is a lone wolf almost does not exist.

Even if they do not establish a force, they will become a Guest Elder of some force.

…………

At the same time, Feng Jiuyou, who was staying in the mortal Spirit World, also noticed at this very moment that the Curse on her had completely disappeared, and even the Curse that had tainted the Phoenix Immortal Mansion had vanished without a trace.

Clearly, this situation was highly unusual.

Unless the Great Luo Golden Immortal who cast the spell died, it would be impossible for the Curse to disappear for no reason.

"How is this possible? Could it be that Tianjue Daoist is dead?"

"But how much time has passed, how could he be dead already?"

Feng Jiuyou was stunned all of a sudden.

She felt that she had already repeatedly overestimated the strength of this man, Zhou Sui, but she did not expect that she had still underestimated him.

Although she believed that it was no problem for Zhou Sui to defeat Tianjue Daoist, it was almost impossible to kill the other party.

After all, as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he had numerous life-saving methods; how could he be so easy to kill?

A slight oversight could allow the other party to escape.

But now, in almost the blink of an eye, it seems that Tianjue Daoist is already dead.

Even if you were to speak of such a thing, few would believe you; it is simply too absurd.

Whoosh!

Just at this moment, a ripple of Void fluctuated in the surroundings, and then Zhou Sui's figure appeared once again before Feng Jiuyou; he had now returned from the Tianjue Sect in the Immortal World.

However, he had left behind a clone at the Tianjue Sect, and as for the matters that followed, he would simply leave them for the clone to handle.

As for his true body, the most important task remained cultivation, to raise his own cultivation base.

His clone existed specifically to handle all sorts of various affairs.

"What about Tianjue Daoist?"

Feng Jiuyou could not help but ask, looking at Zhou Sui.

"Dead, killed by me."

Zhou Sui said straightforwardly, without concealing anything.

"What? Just like that, dead?"

Although Feng Jiuyou had long since anticipated this, she still felt it was too exaggerated; her heart was practically stirred into a stormy sea.

This enemy, whom she had hated for who knows how many years, had actually been killed by this man in the blink of an eye.

Originally, she had felt that there was no hope of revenge in this lifetime, yet she had not expected that the enemy was already dead.

One could only say that the strength of the man before her had already reached a level she could not comprehend at all.

How many years had passed? She had not expected this man's strength to have completely surpassed her own.

For a moment, she did not know what to say.

"Although Tianjue Daoist's strength was indeed not bad, to me, it was nothing more than that."

"By the way, it seems you still have another enemy; would you like me to help you resolve it together?"

Zhou Sui smiled slightly, looking at Feng Jiuyou just like that.

"No need, this is an internal matter of my Phoenix Clan, I will resolve it myself."

"If you were to intervene, it would certainly cause big trouble."

Feng Jiuyou shook her head, refusing decisively.

No matter what, Feng Qiudao was a Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Phoenix Clan; if he were killed by Zhou Sui, it would certainly cause a massive uproar and might even trigger a great war between the Human Race and the True Spirit race alliance.

Therefore, this matter could only be resolved by herself.

"Since this is your decision, then so be it."

"However, since I resolved such a big problem for you, shouldn't there be some sign of appreciation?"

Zhou Sui looked at Feng Jiuyou with burning eyes, not concealing his intentions in the slightest.

"You, what Treasure do you want?"

"Over these many years, a large amount of Treasure has been stored inside the Phoenix Immortal Mansion."

"If you need them, I can give them all to you."

Feng Jiuyou's pretty face flushed red, and looking at Zhou Sui's eyes, she said in a somewhat flustered manner.

She felt as if she were a little white rabbit that had been targeted, with simply nowhere to escape.

Never in her life had she been this flustered.

"In this world, where could there be any Treasure that compares to you."

"Apart from you, I want nothing else."

Zhou Sui stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Feng Jiuyou's slender waist, seemingly wanting to take this woman right there and then.

"What?!"

"No, that won't do, our progress is simply too fast."

In an instant, Feng Jiuyou's pretty face turned crimson; she felt the temperature of her body rising sharply and her heart pounding wildly. In this man's embrace, she had actually lost all power to resist.

Clearly, her cultivation base had already recovered to the Golden Immortal Realm, and she should have had a certain degree of resistance.

But now, she actually felt that she could not exert any strength at all.

It seemed she could only let this man bully her.

Perhaps from the depths of her heart, she did not want to resist.

If it were this man, it seemed it would not be impossible.

"Hmm, that is also true."

"Your cultivation base has not yet recovered to its peak; it would be too much of a pity to eat you now."

"Then let's wait a while; we shall talk once your cultivation base has completely recovered."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly.

In truth, he did not want to eat this woman so quickly; after all, if Feng Jiuyou recovered her Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation base, and he were to cultivate with her at that time, the benefits obtained would be simply unimaginable.

It would absolutely be equivalent to eating one Six-Tier Immortal Pill after another.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry at all; after all, this woman was already his for the taking.

"Mm."

Hearing this, Feng Jiuyou suddenly let out a sigh of relief; it seemed she would not be eaten by this man so quickly after all.

After all, she seemed not yet prepared.

"However, although I don't want to obtain you so quickly, I still want to taste a dessert first."

"As long as I don't take the final step, that should be fine, right?"

Zhou Sui smiled.

What?!

Feng Jiuyou was stunned; she discovered that she had already been carried away by this man, and then, as if she were his dessert, she was tasted over and over again.

……

A few days later.

Immortal World, Phoenix Clan headquarters, a certain Cave Abode.

This was the place where the Great Luo Golden Immortal Feng Qiudao usually cultivated.

Suddenly, it woke up in a start, seemingly having sensed a great crisis, its eyes revealing a terrifying radiance.

"What? Tianjue Daoist is dead?"

"Died because of a cultivation deviation while breaking through to Immortal King?"

Feng Qiudao frowned; it had received this news immediately and instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

According to its understanding of Tianjue Daoist, it was impossible for him to die from a cultivation deviation.

After all, the other party was extremely cautious; if he did not have a high degree of certainty, he would never attempt a breakthrough.

It tried to deduce the situation, only to find that the heavenly secrets were in chaos, and it could deduce nothing.

It seemed that the cause of Tianjue Daoist's death was hazy and blurred.

However, this was also a very normal occurrence.

Every Great Luo Golden Immortal was like this; the weight of their karma was simply beyond imagination.

Even a Great Luo of the same rank would find it difficult to deduce the karma of another Great Luo.

"Could there be something fishy about Tianjue Daoist's death?"

"The problem is, Tianjue Daoist was staying within the Human Territory; who has the great ability to kill him?"

"Unless he came to the Eternal Night Land, it would be impossible for an enemy to ambush and assassinate him."

"In other words, did Tianjue Daoist really die because of a cultivation deviation?"

Feng Qiudao felt very puzzled.

It felt that Tianjue Daoist was not a Great Luo Golden Immortal who could be killed so easily.

Unless an Immortal King made a move.

The problem was, Tianjue Daoist was staying in the Human Territory, and no Immortal King could possibly make a move against him.

So, after thinking it over, it felt that a cultivation deviation was actually the most likely cause of Tianjue Daoist's death.

After all, there were not a few Great Luo Golden Immortals who died because of breaking through to Immortal King.

Even if Tianjue Daoist was cautious, it was possible that during the cultivation process, a Heart Demon erupted and a calamity descended upon him.

Moreover, the other party was an immortal who used the Immortal Technique of the Curse, entangled with the power of the Curse all year round; he did not know how much backlash from curses he had suffered, so even if he died because of a curse, it would not be a strange thing.

"This Feng Jiuyou truly has a great life; I didn't expect her to survive even this."

"After Tianjue Daoist falls, I'm afraid she will be able to survive as well."

Feng Qiudao felt a bit of regret.

It had originally thought it could take this opportunity to kill Feng Jiuyou; in that way, it would be the number one Great Luo Golden Immortal in the Phoenix Clan's sequence, and the Phoenix Essence Blood would definitely belong to it.

It might even be able to break through in the future and become the new Immortal King of the Phoenix Clan.

Once Feng Jiuyou was dead, it would truly be foolproof, and no one would be able to compete with it.

But now that Tianjue Daoist had suddenly fallen, it seemed Feng Jiuyou had a glimmer of survival once again.

"Forget it, forget it; even if she can really survive, she has died once before, and her potential is greatly reduced."

"Even if she can truly restore her cultivation to its peak, she will no longer be comparable to me."

Feng Qiudao took a deep breath.

It naturally wanted to wipe out Feng Jiuyou, but such things could not be done.

Once the Immortal Kings of the Phoenix Clan noticed, it would definitely be doomed to a place with no burial ground.

Of course, borrowing a knife to kill was still possible, as it would not be doing it personally.

Even if the ancient Immortal Kings of the Phoenix Clan noticed this, they would not do anything to it, as long as it was not done personally and the conflict was not made public.

So even though infinite killing intent was brewing within it, it could only suppress it and wait for the next opportunity.

…………

At the same time, in the Human Heavenly Court of the Immortal World.

Many Great Luo Golden Immortals also learned the news of Tianjue Daoist's fall immediately.

Quite a few were also greatly shocked, as none of them expected that the famous Tianjue Daoist had actually fallen.

"What is going on? That old thing Tianjue Daoist actually fell because of a cultivation deviation?"

"Didn't that old thing previously plot against Feng Jiuyou of the Phoenix Clan, intending to take the opportunity to ascend to Immortal King?"

"How could he fall for no reason?"

A Great Luo Golden Immortal felt very surprised.

Although Tianjue Daoist was not the Great Luo Golden Immortal with the most hope of becoming an Immortal King, his foundation was extraordinary, so it would not have been strange whenever he became an Immortal King.

But now that he had actually fallen, it indeed caused many people's jaws to drop.

"Previously, Tianjue Daoist did indeed have a lot of hope."

"It's a pity that he cast the Curse of Soul-Devouring and Fate-Seizing, but failed to kill Feng Jiuyou, and instead encountered the backlash of the curse."

"I originally thought that with that old thing's deep foundation, he would be able to withstand the backlash, but I didn't expect him to meet his end after all."

Another Great Luo Golden Immortal said with a bit of schadenfreude.

After all, he had also been poisoned by Tianjue Daoist several times, which could be described as a heavy loss.

So, hearing that Tianjue Daoist had fallen, he felt incomparably joyful instead, thinking that this was simply a case of getting what he deserved.

"If it were only the backlash of the Curse of Soul-Devouring and Fate-Seizing, Tianjue Daoist might still have been able to hold on."

"The problem is, who knows how many times Tianjue Daoist had cast the Immortal Technique of the Curse and how much backlash he had endured."

"On the surface, it seems perfectly fine, but in reality, it has long been riddled with holes inside."

"In ordinary times, perhaps nothing will happen, but once a critical moment arrives, it will erupt completely."

"I suspect that is why Tianjue Daoist suffered from Qi deviation and died."

Another Great Luo Golden Immortal voiced his own speculation.

He felt that Tianjue Daoist might have suddenly perished due to hidden injuries accumulated over many years.

"Having said so much, does no one suspect that he was murdered?"

One Great Luo Golden Immortal consistently felt that this matter was unusual and that there might be a conspiracy involved.

"How could it be possible for him to be murdered?"

"Exactly, Tianjue Daoist has been staying in the Tianjue Sect the whole time; who could kill him?"

"That's right, unless an Immortal King takes action, who could slay a Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

"It is impossible for an Immortal King of the Human Race to move against Tianjue Daoist, and as for Alien Immortal Kings, it is even more impossible for them to come to our Human Territory."

"If he truly died of murder, then Tianku Daoren and Tiansang Daoren would not be so calm."

"That is indeed the case; these three are as close as brothers, and if there were something fishy about the death of Tianjue Daoist, they would never have such expressions."

"The fall of a Great Luo Golden Immortal is indeed a not-insignificant loss for our Human Race, but it doesn't count for much; we have many Great Luo Golden Immortals in the Human Race anyway, so this can be considered a normal cycle of renewal."

"However, in this recent period, our Human Race does not seem to have produced many Great Luo Golden Immortals; I hope more Great Luo can be born to increase the foundation of our Human Race."

The many Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Heavenly Court discussed the matter one after another.

Although everyone felt very regretful about the fall of Tianjue Daoist and it was definitely a significant loss for the Human Race, it did not count as damaging the foundation of the Human Race.

After all, the true combat power of the Human Race is still the Immortal Kings.

As long as there is no large-scale fall of Immortal Kings, the Human Race will remain one of the Shijie Wuda Chaoji Zhongzu.

As for Great Luo Golden Immortals, the fall of a few is not considered a major event.
