The first intention that Xiao Yan had just eliminated was Ancestral Master Daozang.
He knew that Daozang would propose that they become his disciples and receive the Daozang Secret Order, allowing them to command anyone of his lineage at the expense of the Sage Emperor who was always eyeing their lives.
If they accepted it, they would not be able to explore the world without a care as long as the Same Emperor had not died.
However in order to kill him, he would have to be at the peak of the God Rank.
At that level, fighting against the rest of the bullies from the Divine Feathers Sect would be too boring!
That was why he did not hesitate to kill the rest of the spirit when he detected the treasure he was looking for.
Another point is the consciousness of the palace itself.
After the old man's intention was gone, he would try to trick them into fighting each other in order to guard all the treasures within the palace.
While doing so, he could also damage the building, that was why Xiao Yan gave him the same fate.
After dealing with the two, Xiao Yan made his treasure appear elsewhere.
At the end of the carpet, there was a large statue of someone cultivating.
In front of him was the last remaining page of the Worldly Demon Spirit Book, which he had just moved here.
When he was close enough, the courtyard turned into a beam of light and entered into Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan felt the power of the book artifact soar.
The remaining time increased to a thousand years and he could sense that it could not be any longer.
He could also use the energy to recharge the time from now on.
Moreover, book artifacts could be used in its outer area.
They needed a few more days to gather all the treasures scattered throughout the palace.
He inspected the entire palace thanks to the painting artifact and nodded in satisfaction.
Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun felt very satisfied with this trip.
They gave all the treasures they had received to Xiao Yan.
He duplicated the Golden Spiritual Stone Essence and used forty thousand Spiritual Stones.
They received hundreds from the Illusory Divine Void Palace.
One had as much energy as a hundred Spiritual Stone Essences.
{I have to start exchanging it with Li Xingyun and my clone.}.
Xiao Yan gave Duan Jian a hundred Gold Spiritual Stone Essences, telling him to use them to cultivate in his spare time.
He estimated that it would be more than enough for him to reach the Ancestral Martial Realm.
Until Redsoul's next lesson, he brought his two fiancees and went to collect the oldest God Root in the Draconic Ruins Realm.
Seeing these two beauties, many men were blinded by lust and proposed that they pay for the lake with their bodies.
When that happened, Xiao Yan did not even need to lift a single finger as both of them would become tigresses and kill everyone in a matter of seconds.
On the third day, he proposed to his clone to exchange the Heavenly Note Dew for five hundred Spiritual Stones in a bottle, Spiritual Stone Essences for five hundred Spiritual Stones each, and the Golden Spiritual Stone Essence cost fifty thousand each.
Then, he proposed the same deal to Li Xingyun.
For the next six months, Xiao Yan, Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun would always be together.
If they did not take the God Root, they would explore some ruins.
When they met a demonic beast that was too powerful for them, he would bring Duan Jian through the painting artifact.
In the beginning, the latter was a Stage-3 Martial Ancestor and could easily overcome most of the threats in the Draconic Ruins World.
At a certain point, after they had taken out thousands of God Roots, the God Lake they had found began to be guarded by the cultivators of the Heavenly Star Realm, so they stopped looking for the oldest.
It was not that they could not defeat them, as each of the three of them could even defeat a Dao of Dragon realm expert, either, but the God Lake still produced a large and famous amount of Spiritual Stones.
He didn't want any annoying weaklings chasing after them or spreading the word about them destroying the God Lake.
As for what they took earlier, the amount they produced was too low that the public did not care.
So, with the help of the LoHP, they began searching for the nearest unmanned God Lake.
For the low-class ones, they had demonic beasts of Heavenly Fate, Heavenly Star and Heavenly Axis guarding them, so the three were more than enough to deal with them.
The demon beast leader guarding the middle-class beasts was in the Dragon Dao Realm.
They can usually take care of it themselves.
In the rare case where the power was too strong for them, they would call out to Duan Jian.
The high-grade ones had Dao of Dragon realm demon beasts led by powerful Martial Ancestors.
Duan Jian had to keep everyone who was too strong for the three of them.
But one time, even he was not strong enough, so Xiao Yan used the TDSB to speed up the time within the Myriad Miles River Painting and the Mountains one year into the future.
With the new resources generated by the God Lake, he duplicated enough Gold Spiritual Stone Essences for Duan Jian to be able to reach the peak of the Martial Ancestor Realm.
He then sent out the last painting artifact and used TDSB until he reached the desired level.
When they finished, Xiao Yan sped up the time of several months to let all of the final God Roots form their God Lake.
He now had nearly ten thousand God Lakes.
More than nine thousand were low class, seven hundred were middle class, and about a hundred were high class.
Overall, each month they produced over a hundred million Spiritual Stones, a million Spiritual Stone Essences, and a thousand Gold Spiritual Stone Essences.
He now had enough cultivation resources to become a God Rank expert, but first he wanted to play with Gu Heng in his God Lake.
