Chapter 641

The arena tournament, which had lasted for more than three years, finally came to an end, with Luo Feng and Hong advancing. This was a joyous occasion, so Su Fan went to congratulate them, and the group had a big meal in the virtual universe space. Afterward, Hong and Luo Feng entered a period of intense closed-door cultivation.

After all, this was only the selection for the Ganwu Universe Country; next, they would need to compete against geniuses from over a thousand other high-level universe countries, with one hundred thousand being whittled down to the top one thousand.

This would still be difficult, perhaps even harder than before.

Su Fan did not go to disturb them again. The prize money from the first round of bets had already been distributed, amounting to tens of thousands of Primordial units. Although it wasn't much, for a Star-level individual, it was a fortune of genius proportions.

Su Fan's current net worth had reached over sixty Primordial units, which could be called a sudden fortune.

Through the virtual mall, he purchased a large amount of resources.

This time, he prepared to return. For the time being, there was nothing left to do in the Swallowing Star world, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. He needed to return to the main world to settle down and then break through to the Nascent Soul stage in one go.

Moreover, he had been in the Swallowing Star world for nearly ten years, and several decades had likely passed in the main world.

The hundred-year beast tide in the Zheng State was also about to begin.

Although the Su family's strength had greatly increased with his help, if fourth-tier monsters were to attack the Liuyun Mountain Range during the beast tide, the Su family would still be in some danger.

There were formations on the Liuyun Mountain Range that could block fourth-tier monsters, but if the former kept attacking, the formations would eventually be broken one day.

Furthermore, fourth-tier monsters were not alone; there would inevitably be a large number of monsters under their command. If there were no external help at that time, wouldn't it be dangerous?

As for the Yunyang Sect, Su Fan believed that with the increase in the Su family's strength, the other side would inevitably be wary. They might not watch the Su family be destroyed, but they might delay their reinforcements to allow the Su family's strength to be depleted.

This was a very normal thing. Even if it were discovered afterward, they could just push the blame onto a few people, and the other immortal cultivation families wouldn't say much.

The world of immortal cultivation was still very realistic.

The Su family's strength had progressed so quickly over these years that other immortal cultivation families must surely be jealous. Seeing the Su family's strength weakened, they would be even less likely to say anything to the Yunyang Sect, and perhaps they might even secretly gloat.

This situation was all too common in the world of immortal cultivation.

Human hearts are unpredictable, and this is even more true in the world of immortal cultivation. The rise of the Su family would only affect the interests of other immortal cultivation families.

Su Fan needed to go back. If the Su family could produce one or two Golden Core cultivators, then he wouldn't need to worry.

Of course, that Taihe Laozu was probably also close to breaking through. Given the relationship between the Su family and the Taihe lineage, the two sides could be considered one.

But since he hadn't broken through yet, Su Fan's return this time was also for his sake.

Once he broke through, the Su family's strength would surge, and the Clan Leader Su Wanjun's cultivation had also advanced by leaps and bounds over these decades. It was estimated that even if he hadn't reached the late Purple Mansion stage, he would certainly have reached the fifth level of the Purple Mansion.

After all, there were sufficient resources, and Clan Leader Su Wanjun's spirit root was a dual spirit root, which was not bad at all.

The cultivation technique he practiced was also of a superior grade.

The technique improved by Su Fan was also very well-suited to the Clan Leader's cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, space and time transformed.

Returning to the main world and sensing the barrenness of the world's spiritual energy, Su Fan sighed. Indeed, the two worlds—although the Swallowing Star world didn't have spiritual energy, it had a form of world origin energy.

It could also be refined into magic power.

Moreover, compared to the main world, the Swallowing Star world had much more abundant energy.

This was something the main world could not compare to. Fortunately, he had already fused with a Star Heart, so even if the main world didn't have a trace of spiritual energy, it wouldn't affect his cultivation improvement.

With his Golden Core stage cultivation, it would take less than three days to return to the Liuyun Mountain Range.

He first went to Dongying City to check on his disciple and two juniors, finding that they were all doing well.

Since he had traveled to the Star world, over seventy years had passed, and the three of them were long past who they used to be.

Especially his disciple Lin Wei, who had already broken through the Foundation Establishment stage and reached the second level of the Purple Mansion.

And the two family juniors were also at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment; all three were very diligent.

It was just that their spirit roots were not as good as Lin Wei's, so their cultivation speed was a bit slower, but they had still reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

And there was not the slightest bit of instability.

This made Su Fan nod with satisfaction. Over the decades, with abundant resources and no external interference, all three were doing very well.

As for Jinguang's hunting squad, Su Fan didn't pay attention to it for the time being, but he imagined it must be doing well; after all, Jinguang's hunting squad wasn't bad even before meeting Su Fan.

Several Purple Mansion cultivators and twenty or thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After meeting Su Fan and having the resources provided by the Purple Mansion, their cultivation became much easier.

Although Jinguang was still holding down the fort in Dongying City, he had sent two Purple Mansion cultivators to guard the Liuyun Mountain Range.

As for Jinguang himself, he had now reached the ninth level of the Purple Mansion. Of course, compared to the Taihe Laozu, his foundation was still a bit lacking.

After all, that Taihe Laozu was already over four hundred years old and had even attempted to break through to the Golden Core stage once. Although he hadn't succeeded, having had one attempt gave him a few more possibilities for his next breakthrough.

In this regard, Jinguang could not compare.

Of course, Taihe was now nearing the end of his lifespan. If he didn't succeed this time, he would likely perish.

However, with him taking action this time, there would certainly be no losses.

When Su Fan returned to Liuyun Mountain again, the Liuyun Mountain Range was becoming increasingly lively.

Because the Su family had always kept in mind the philosophy Su Fan left behind, they had also used many mortals for the development of the Liuyun Mountain Range.

Coupled with the Su family's cultivators constantly helping mortals clear plains, the mortal population grew extremely fast. In just a few decades, the Su family's mortals had increased by more than two million, and now they were approaching four million.

This number was still far behind many old-established families of a thousand years.

But with nearly four million, the number of spirit roots born in the Su family every year was a full dozen or twenty, and sometimes even more.

Over seventy years, the number of Su family cultivators had also skyrocketed; there were four or five hundred disciples belonging to the Su family's own clan.

Plus the outsiders, the Su family now had no fewer than eight hundred cultivators, a number that had already caught up with many old-established families.

Moreover, the Su family had sufficient resources. Many old-established families, because of insufficient resources, would send many away even if spirit roots were born.

The Su family was different. Except for a small number sent to the Yunyang Sect, ninety percent of the disciples stayed.

Su Fan was not short of Foundation Establishment Pills because he had money and channels.

Now, the Su family alone had no fewer than eighty Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
