Fang Hanyu's gaze swept across the battlefield. Beside the remains of Venerable Withered Bone, Shadowless, and Murong Qiu, who had just taken his own life, scattered their storage artifacts and some personal belongings with dimming spiritual light.
His expression remained unchanged. With a roll of his sleeve, an invisible force gathered all the valuable spoils of war cleanly and efficiently, without the slightest hesitation.
He looked up, his gaze sweeping through the surrounding void as if it were tangible. Those prying divine senses hidden in the dark felt as if they had been pricked by needles, hastily retreating and concealing themselves.
This place was surrounded by tigers and wolves. Many had witnessed this battle, so there was no need to destroy the corpses to erase the traces. It was better to just leave and let them serve as a deterrent.
"Let's go."
Fang Hanyu withdrew his gaze. His tone remained concise, yet it seemed to carry a trace of imperceptible heaviness.
The three did not delay. Xiao Ruobai circulated his vitality and blood. The wisp of black energy on his left arm faded a bit more under the grinding of his vigorous War God blood. He grinned carelessly and took the lead, transforming into a streak of dark golden light that shot into the sky.
Ling Xi lightly flicked her sleeves. With a flash of a green shadow, she followed as if teleporting.
Fang Hanyu rolled up his sword light, bringing the little fatty close behind.
Several streaks of light vanished into the distant horizon in an instant, leaving only the devastated battlefield to tell the tale of the thrilling battle that had just occurred.
After their figures completely disappeared into the horizon, about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, confirming there was no more danger, a few bolder figures who prided themselves on their concealment abilities quietly descended from different directions like ghosts, impatiently lunging toward the remains of the three Kings.
"Quick! See if they missed anything!"
"Venerable Withered Bone's hidden treasures might still be here!"
"Shadowless's personal soft armor is a treasure!"
"Although Murong Qiu's Autumn Water Sword is broken, the sword embryo material is still top-tier!"
However, after they searched carefully, their faces all became a colorful display of expressions.
Apart from that tattered gray robe, Venerable Withered Bone's body was completely empty.
Shadowless's corpse was picked so clean that not even a single hair was left. Beside Murong Qiu's remains, only the completely shattered, spiritless mortal iron fragments of the Autumn Water Sword remained.
"This... this..."
A cultivator with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks stomped his feet in anger, unable to hold back his curses. "Damn it! And they call themselves prodigies! Descendants of peerless experts! Who does things like this?! Killing them is one thing, but looting them this clean?! Not even leaving a sip of soup?! This... this is too unruly!"
Another old man was also full of frustration, resentfully kicking a nearby stone. "Exactly! Three Kings! They could have at least left some scraps! These brats have hands that are way too fast! They're more efficient than professional corpse looters!"
The few of them looked at each other in dismay, eventually dispersing empty-handed while cursing under their breath.
In their hearts, the impression of those three young fiends, aside from being powerful and mysterious, was fiercely appended with another trait: plucking a feather from a passing goose, leaving not a single blade of grass!
The wind continued to whimper, sweeping across the empty battlefield, leaving only a few gradually cooling corpses to tell the cruelty of the cultivation path, and... the outrageous thriftiness of certain people.
At the peak of the Purple Bamboo Summit, above the sea of clouds.
Gu Changge stood by the railing, dressed in white.
His handsome face was completely calm, but a trace of complex emotion flashed through his deep eyes.
"That child Ruobai has pure battle intent, fighting braver as the battle goes on. The War God Physique has boundless potential... He's a good seedling."
He nodded slightly, quite approving of Xiao Ruobai's performance.
"Hanyu is meticulous, possessing a clear sword heart. His Primal Chaos Sword Intent has already taken shape; his future is limitless..."
However, when his gaze seemingly replayed Ling Xi's world-shocking finger strike, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Xi'er... is ultimately a reincarnated Great Emperor from her past life. Her foundation is simply too profound. Although this Dao-Severing Finger is only scratching the surface, it still touches upon the origin laws... Sigh, it's still too conspicuous."
His gaze then turned to Murong Qiu's corpse.
"Time... is the most ruthless."
He whispered softly, his gaze cast deep into the sea of clouds, as if witnessing the flow of the river of time.
"No matter how stunningly talented or what an unmatched hero you are, you will eventually turn to dust. Murong Qiu... is a prime example."
Thinking of Murong Qiu, a former prodigy who was ultimately trapped by his lifespan, his Dao heart clouded, ending up in such a desolate state, Gu Changge couldn't help but feel a sense of emotional vigilance.
On this cultivation path that defies the heavens, talent and serendipity are certainly important, but living long enough is what makes one the ultimate winner.
Wasn't he himself relying on... well... his own hard work, diligently signing in day after day... to step by step reach where he was today?
Witnessing this great battle today, especially Murong Qiu's ending, gave him a deeper appreciation for the word longevity.
With a slight shift of his mind, just as he did every day, he silently chanted in his heart: System, sign in.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for a successful sign-in. You have obtained 10,000 years of cultivation base!
Ding! Sign-in successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Ten-Thousand-Year Lifespan Pill x10!
Ding! Congratulations to the host for additionally obtaining Great Emperor Dao Fruit x10!
Three cold notification sounds echoed in his mind one after another.
A slight ripple appeared in Gu Changge's calm eyes. Today's sign-in rewards were somewhat different from usual.
"Oh? Ten-Thousand-Year Lifespan Pills... ten of them?"
He muttered softly to himself, his tone carrying a faint trace of surprise.
"And these Great Emperor Dao Fruits... ten of them?" His brows couldn't help but twitch slightly, a flash of genuine interest appearing in his eyes.
"I've signed in for two fresh novelties today."
With a thought, the illusory light screen that only he could see quietly unfolded.
His gaze did not first fall on the Great Emperor Dao Fruits, but rather on the ten Ten-Thousand-Year Lifespan Pills that were swirling with boundless life force.
The pills were the size of longans, perfectly round, covered in profound pill veins, and emitted a refreshing fragrance. They possessed a ceaselessly circulating Dao rhythm of accumulated time and endless vitality.
Ten-Thousand-Year Lifespan Pill: Upon consumption, it can increase lifespan by ten thousand years. The medicinal properties are mild with no side effects, and multiple pills can be stacked.
"Increases lifespan by ten thousand years... mild properties, stackable."
Gu Changge nodded slightly, a trace of satisfaction within his calm expression.
"Mm, this item is quite practical. The more, the better."
For someone like him who pursued longevity, the value of this hard currency that could directly and stably increase lifespan went without saying; it could be called a foundational item.
After finishing his inspection, his gaze slowly shifted to the ten dazzling Great Emperor Dao Fruits wrapped in primal chaos aura.
They were not physical objects, but rather ten radiant clusters of light wrapped in primal chaos aura, continuously rising and falling. Inside each cluster seemed to be a complete cosmic starry sky, with countless Great Dao runes being born and extinguished, emitting a majestic aura of perfection and supremacy that was enough to make all Daos submit!
Great Emperor Dao Fruit: A complete Dao Fruit condensed from the lifelong Great Dao comprehensions, law origins, and Emperor Realm destiny of a fallen Great Emperor.
Upon refining it, a cultivator can ignore aptitude bottlenecks, directly inherit their Great Dao, and instantly achieve the position of a Great Emperor.
Note: The realm and potential of the achieved Great Emperor are related to the compatibility between the Dao Fruit's original owner and the refiner.
"Directly achieve the Great Emperor realm..."
Gu Changge softly repeated the description, a playful gleam flashing across his deep, profound eyes.
