You can't have your cake and eat it too I want it all

With the capture of the last Great Luo, the batch of top-tier talents sent down by the Immortal Realm to seek treasures had no chance of escape—Chen Yi was about to feast on them without a hitch!

Golden Immortals strung together like noodles, slurped up in one go.

Taiyi Immortals clustered like soft, savory meat buns.

This time, Wuji had actively bled itself dry, giving Chen Yi an absolute feast.

The six ancient clans had harvested a total of four Great Luo, eighty-one Taiyi, and one thousand one hundred thirty-eight Golden Immortals!

This was more than enough to fuel the Purple Tenuity Heavenly Dao’s ascension all the way to the Golden Immortal level!

Truly, the Immortal Realm was vast and wealthy—just the scraps leaking from its fingers were enough to stuff Purple Tenuity Immortal Realm to the brim, even to the point of bursting!

"Senior Feng Jinhuang, here—put this on. Then, I’ll leave this Chaos Crucible checkpoint to you. The people from the other five ancient clans will arrive soon, so feel free to use them. The Chaos Star Core fragments here are quite precious, and the Star Core’s Eye can also undo the Seal of Spirit Severance..."

Chen Yi smiled amiably as he draped the eighty-one-colored Chaos Pearl necklace around Feng Jinhuang’s swan-like neck, her skin smooth as fine jade.

Without giving her a chance to refuse, he turned and caught up to Black Earth’s footsteps. Then, with a seemingly accidental nudge, he pushed her back, slowing her advance as she tumbled once more into the Star Core’s Eye.

Now that he had devoured everything in sight, it was time to get down to business. Little Fang was still waiting ahead, and he had no idea what state he was in now.

"Chen Yi! How can you be so selfish?!"

"Have I spoiled you too much, you—!"

Amid Black Earth’s furious curses, Chen Yi smoothly slipped past the third checkpoint’s terminus stele and entered the fourth stage.

This time, there was no need for specific clearance conditions, so he saw no reason to bring Black Earth along. To ensure this ally’s safety, Chen Yi naturally took the lead, intending to scout the fourth stage first and confirm it was safe before letting her in!

Why couldn’t she understand his good intentions?

Ah, being a good person was truly difficult...

Pop~

Passing through the thin, shimmering membrane, Chen Yi arrived before the entrance stele of the fourth stage.

Unlike the battered and barely clothed Little Fang, Chen Yi stood with his hands behind his back, strolling leisurely as if taking a casual walk in his own backyard. His dark blue Daoist robe was impeccably smooth, without a single wrinkle.

"Treasure Labyrinth? The name alone suggests this won’t be simple. Another feast awaits?"

Chen Yi glanced at the divine runes inscribed on the entrance stele, his gaze finally settling on the encrypted proclamation beside it.

[Announcement from the Purple Tenuity Immortal Court’s Treasury Division: This Treasure Labyrinth has been claimed by our division. Later arrivals are forbidden from unauthorized extraction, lest they incur great karma—reckoning will follow in due time! —Declared by Ninth-Rank Wealth Attendant Fang Fan.]

Seeing Little Fang’s handiwork again, Chen Yi couldn’t help but smirk.

Truly, Little Fang was too impressive. With talents like him in the Purple Tenuity Immortal Court, how could it not prosper?

"Little Fang, hold on. Don’t be afraid—I’ll be there soon!"

Chen Yi murmured to himself before, as usual, obscuring the proclamation’s contents to deceive Black Earth. Then, he strode past the safe zone and stepped directly into the fourth-stage secret realm!

Pop~

Passing through the thin, radiant barrier, the world spun around him before he found himself standing before the dazzling, golden Treasure Labyrinth!

"Holy ?!!!"

The moment Chen Yi saw the scene inside the Treasure Labyrinth, he was utterly stunned.

Primordial spiritual energy so dense it had nearly solidified into substance, jade-carved Qilin formed from Primordial Hongmurn Jade, supreme-grade innate Genggold sword embryos, World Trees, Chaos Spirit Veins...

Fang Fan, perhaps due to his limited experience, hadn’t grasped the sheer value of this labyrinth and thus felt nothing extraordinary.

But Chen Yi was different. Having once peeked into the Vault of Numinous Heaven—the accumulated wealth of nine great epochs under the rule of the Numinous Heaven Court—his once-poor perspective had been utterly shattered!

Now, looking at this Treasure Labyrinth, a rough estimate placed its total value at nearly one-tenth of the Numinous Heaven Vault!

What did that mean?

It meant this single Treasure Labyrinth was equivalent to the accumulated wealth of an entire epoch under the Numinous Heaven Court!

This fortune was staggering. Could this be the fallen treasury of some short-lived Immortal Emperor?

Chen Yi ventured a bold guess—after all, Numinous Heaven wasn’t the first Immortal Emperor. Who knew how many celestial dynasties had come before?

More importantly, while the resources within the labyrinth appeared naturally formed, there were clear signs of artificial extraction!

Thus, this was likely the transformed treasury of some short-lived Immortal Emperor—or perhaps a fallen treasure hoard of a supreme being from the Divine Realm!

"Tsk—"

Back in the Illusory Star Pocket Realm, Chen Yi’s true body abruptly opened his eyes.

"This city is too rich. I must find a way to take it all back!"

"One Five-Star avatar isn’t enough. I’ll summon two more—fusing them into a Six-Star should suffice. If that fails, I’ll descend in person!"

No sooner had he spoken than Chen Yi waved his hand, sending his last hundred Chaos Pearls hurtling into the void, straight toward the treasure secret realm.

Of course, this still wasn’t enough for two Five-Star avatars. After some deliberation, he temporarily recalled twenty-seven more Chaos Pearls from the Divine Realm.

Combined with the forty-nine still-functional Chaos Pearls in the Celestial Pivot Mirror, he finally had enough for two Five-Star avatars—with a few left over as backup energy reserves!

"Sigh..."

"One cannot have both the fish and the bear’s paw? Well, I refuse!"

"I want the Chaos Supreme Treasure, and I want this Treasure Labyrinth too. Little Fang, I know you can do it, right?"

Chen Yi’s gaze deepened.

The Treasure Labyrinth had ensnared him, leaving him unable to resist. It was time to resort to force.

He knew he had gone too far in the Supreme Treasure’s trial—taking shortcuts, brazenly attacking other challengers, leaving a trail of misdeeds. At this point, he had virtually no chance of claiming the Chaos Supreme Treasure.

There was no choice now. He could only pin his hopes on Little Fang. If even Little Fang failed in the end, he would have to strike hard at the Supreme Treasure’s trial and forcibly seize this Treasure Labyrinth!
