Heavenly Palace of the Heavenly Way, Boundless Vastness

Jiang Che naturally did not know of Yu Chuan's existence, much less the things he had done in secret.

Of course, even if Jiang Che knew... he wouldn't do anything to him. After all, the guy was working hard to deliver a wife to him, so what more could he want?

"Sister Feifei, how is your pill business doing?"

Jiang Che arrived at Gu Lingfei's territory. Gu Lingfei and Ji Ningxue were currently managing Jiang Che's taboo immortal pill business.

"Hmm?" Ji Ningxue raised her eyes, revealing a smile.

"How else could it be? The pills are in short supply. The first batch of one million inferior life-extension pills and one hundred thousand low-grade life-extension pills completely sold out. Almost all of those registered are powerhouses at the Great Emperor level!"

Gu Lingfei crossed her legs, revealing half of her snow-white, slender thighs. They say women are like wine, but Gu Lingfei's aura, which sat right between that of a wife and a mother, was the most mellow and beautiful.

"My god, Little Che, did you know? The Great Emperor powerhouses in the Nine Heavens are far more numerous than I imagined," Gu Lingfei said with an excited expression.

"There are fully hundreds of thousands of Great Emperors! Especially the Great Emperors at the first-generation Emperor realm. They clearly already have one foot in the grave, but they still stubbornly refuse to leave," Gu Lingfei sighed softly.

"Those immortal cultivators, the older they get... the more they fear death! The more they fear their lifespans running out!"

"So? Feifei, could it be that you are also worried about this?" Jiang Che said calmly.

"Oh, I'm not worried." Gu Lingfei shrugged. Ever since she got pregnant, she had been eating a longevity immortal peach almost every day. With Jiang Che personally cooking for her, she felt like she was becoming a little pet pig.

The immortal peaches that Yaoyao produced now were only given to their own girls to eat. Gu Lingfei's immortal dao origin was currently so vigorous that it was terrifying; her true lifespan had probably already reached millions of years!

"Then what do you mean?" Jiang Che frowned.

"Oh, I mean... Little Che, you priced the pills too low!"

Jiang Che: "..."

Too low?

Not really, right?

An inferior life-extension pill was priced at one top-grade spirit stone. One must know that back when Mo Lianxing was roaming the Nine Heavens, she was at the peak of the Nirvana stage, yet her savings accumulated over thousands of years only amounted to three top-grade spirit stones. Seeing the spirit stones in Jiang Che's hands, she couldn't even walk straight.

How many top-grade spirit stones could those rogue cultivator Great Emperors in the Nine Heavens possibly have? They probably had at most tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones in their pockets, right? Some Great Emperors from remote backwaters might not even have a few thousand.

"The price is too low. I think the inferior life-extension pills should cost at least ten top-grade spirit stones! Because there are too many Emperors in the Nine Heavens... they can completely plunder and amass wealth, levying spirit stones from small sects..."

Jiang Che: "..."

Holy crap. He originally thought he deserved to be hanged from a streetlamp, but he never expected... Gu Lingfei was even more ruthless than him. Was she really planning to squeeze every last drop of wealth from the entire Nine Heavens dry?

"But Sister Feifei, that won't work. If the cows eat all the grass at once, it won't grow back!"

Gu Lingfei nodded, "But this is also quite good. Last month, relying on the life-extension pills, we earned millions of top-grade spirit stones and hundreds of thousands of holy-grade spirit stones."

"Although there are many spirit stones in the Nine Heavens, at this rate, in a hundred years at most, all the high-grade spirit stones and various cultivation resources across the nearly ten million domains of the Nine Heavens... will be under our control."

"Isn't that perfect?" Jiang Che sat beside Gu Lingfei, pulling her delicate feet into his lap and beginning to massage them.

"When the time comes and all the high-grade spirit stones are in our hands, we will open the largest banking chamber of commerce in the Nine Heavens, recruiting all the Great Emperors and Immortals to work for us."

Jiang Che and Gu Lingfei looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

So sinister. Even they themselves felt it was sinister.

Even spirit stones, the most basic cultivation resource, would need to be purchased from Jiang Che. As for whether there would be cultivators rebelling? That was even more impossible.

Because the Immortal Emperors were all on his side!

...

It wasn't long before the consequences of Jiang Che's mass sale of life-extension pills emerged.

Just as they had predicted, many Great Emperors in the Nine Heavens began to frantically plunder cultivation resources!

Just how vast was the scope of the Nine Heavens?

Nearly ten million domains!!!

The land area of each domain was incomparably vast. The smallest domain was several times larger than the former Blue Planet, and the area occupied by some powerful domains was as vast as the solar system.

Tens of millions of domains. From a certain perspective, the territory of the Nine Heavens was even comparable to the Milky Way galaxy. However, the boundless universe was a barren land, while the Nine Heavens was a plane with a relatively developed cultivation civilization.

With the Nine Heavens being so vast, cultivation resources were naturally extremely abundant. Even the Heavenly Emperors during the Ancient Heavenly Court era had never gathered all the wealth of the world to themselves.

Central Imperial Heaven, Heavenly Dao Palace.

"This Jiang Che is really messing things up!"

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Dao Palace spoke with a face full of indignation, yet he was completely helpless against Jiang Che.

Jiang Che's move was an overt scheme. Everyone could see his plot, but... they couldn't stop it. Who could blame him for being so overpowered!

He, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Dao Palace, claimed to wield the power of the Heavenly Dao and was the strongest decision-maker in the Central Imperial Heaven. But behind Jiang Che stood several supreme Immortal Emperors, and his own origins were a complete mystery.

"Shh, Little Tian, you must absolutely not talk behind the back of that kind of existence, otherwise even I won't be able to protect you."

An old man walked out unsteadily.

"Master!" The man immediately became humble upon seeing the old man.

"I just feel indignant for the common people of the world. That Jiang Che uses lifespan to command the immortals of the world. Now all the major domains across the entire Nine Heavens are in chaos. For the sake of longevity, immortals are constantly oppressing the emperor clans of the major domains, and the Great Emperors of the major emperor clans are also oppressing the saint clans and dynasties below them to increase their lifespans..."

"Teacher! If Jiang Che is really allowed to continue like this, the Nine Heavens will become completely lifeless in the future. No cultivator will be willing to become an Emperor! Those formerly proud and arrogant Emperors of the world have all been reduced to maggots! Sucking the lifeblood of the common people just to seize longevity!"

The more the man spoke, the more excited he became, looking as if he wanted to jump up on the spot.

"How is what Jiang Che doing any different from those Great Emperors and Immortals who have fallen into darkness? Those Dark Immortals refine the living beings of several domains just for a tiny bit of longevity substance to barely survive!"

"No! The consequences of Jiang Che's actions are even more severe. He is even more evil than those Dark Immortals!"

Even though this Palace Master of the Heavenly Dao Palace was a Six-Tribulation Immortal Emperor, he still harbored a noble and righteous spirit. He didn't need longevity immortal pills, because he was extremely confident that he could fuse with the origin of the Great Dao through his own abilities to attain longevity!

"Then are you going to slay him?" the old man raised his eyes and said slowly.

"I... I!" The man was at a loss for words. What could he fight with? Wasn't the fate of the Firmament Immortal Emperor obvious enough?

He wasn't afraid of dying; he was just afraid of dying meaninglessly.

He was truly disappointed. With Jiang Che making such a move, he could no longer see any hope for the future of the Nine Heavens. The current Nine Heavens was in imminent peril!

Beyond the Nine Heavens, the evil spirit plane of the Supreme Demon Emperor was still eyeing them covetously. Even the Demon Realm had already been breached and conquered. Yet Jiang Che was still pulling these stunts from within the Nine Heavens... How could the Nine Heavens possibly ascend into a true Immortal Realm in the future?

He couldn't see a single shred of hope!
