After the points settlement.
The Netherfrost Sacred Domain.
Hum!
Countless dazzling orbs emerged from the void, densely packed.
Like a river of stars pouring down, they illuminated the entire Netherfrost Sacred Domain in a kaleidoscope of colors.
"Is this the so-called 'sacred domain heritage' those fools threw at us?"
Su Muwan blinked, her crystal-clear eyes instantly lighting up.
She reached out and grabbed one of the orbs.
In an instant, a torrent of sword intent surged into her consciousness.
"Midheaven Sacred Realm · Nine Heavens Sword Domain · Ten Thousand Years of Sword Dao Comprehension!!"
"Tsk!! A swordsman's lifetime of insights?"
Su Muwan smirked, crushing the orb between her fingers as it dissolved into a golden streak that vanished into her brow.
In that moment, her aura rippled faintly, and nine ethereal sword shadows flickered around her, sharp and imposing.
Qin Luo raised an eyebrow. "Miss, are you switching careers to become a sword cultivator now?"
"Hmph! This young lady is a prodigy—what's wrong with learning an extra skill?" Su Muwan lifted her chin, though her gaze had already drifted toward the other orbs. "Besides, these things are free for the taking!"
With a wave of her hand, frigid energy coalesced into a massive palm, scooping up dozens of orbs as she inspected them one by one.
"Linglong Heavenly Domain · Thirty Thousand Years of Fortune!"
"Celestial Divination Sacred Realm · One Hundred Thousand Years of Fortune!"
"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Essence..."
...
"Heh heh... Hahaha... Hehehe... Kekeke!!!"
With each orb she examined, Su Muwan trembled slightly, her eyes growing brighter.
By the end, she couldn't hold back and burst into wild laughter, covering her forehead with one hand.
She pressed a palm over her eyes, lips curling upward. "With these opportunities in hand, conquering the Great Thousand Worlds is just a matter of time!"
"Everyone! Will kneel beneath this young lady's might!!"
Qin Luo sighed helplessly. "Miss, could you tone down the chuunibyou a little?"
"Hey! What's wrong with being a little chuuni?!" Su Muwan glared at him indignantly.
But she was quickly distracted again by the golden glow of the opportunity orbs.
In her past life, she had loved collecting antiques and ancient paintings in the minor worlds.
Now, in the Great Thousand Worlds, hoarding these kinds of opportunities was just keeping up with the times.
"Qin Luo! Quick! Let's take all of them!"
Qin Luo chuckled but didn't hesitate. With a flick of his wrist—
The Ten Thousand Demon Banner unfurled, its surface expanding like a black hole, swallowing the countless orbs in an instant.
Whoosh—
The orbs rained down into the banner, each one representing a treasure that would drive any cultivator in the Great Thousand Worlds to madness.
Meanwhile...
Linglong Heavenly Domain.
"No—!!!"
The Linglong Empress shot up from her throne, her face deathly pale.
She stared at the Heavenly Dao screen displaying [Points Settlement], her nails digging deep into her palms.
"My fortune... My thirty thousand years of accumulation!"
The elders around her looked ashen, some even collapsing to the ground, muttering, "It's over... all gone..."
The thirty thousand years of fortune reserves they had prepared in case of defeat in the Great Thousand War—
Just like that...
Wiped out!!
Linglong bit her lip hard.
For the first time, she tasted the bitterness of defeat.
And then—
She realized why.
"Su Muwan!!!!"
"You venomous witch!!"
"This empress will never coexist with you!!"
If Su Muwan hadn't destroyed the Sword Abomination, her thirty thousand years of fortune wouldn't have been wasted!
Netherfrost Sacred Domain! Su Muwan!!
When the Great Thousand War comes—it will be your doom!!
Celestial Divination Sacred Realm.
"Gone! All gone!!"
Tianjizi spat out a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest as he staggered back. "Disaster! A calamity! One hundred thousand years of fortune... just handed to someone else?!"
His disciples wailed behind him. "Master! We staked our entire sacred domain's fortune on this!"
"What do we do when the Great Thousand War comes?!"
"If we lose, we'll all die!"
Tianjizi took a deep breath, fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. His voice was hoarse. "As things stand... we have no choice but to temporarily merge with the Cangxuan Domain."
Across the Great Thousand Worlds—
Wails of despair rose one after another.
"My thunder essence! My life's work!"
"My sword comprehension! That was my sword comprehension!!"
"Su Muwan! May you die a wretched death!!!"
Back in the Netherfrost Sacred Domain—
Su Muwan clung to Qin Luo's arm, her eyes curved into crescents. "Luo Luo, how are you so amazing? So brilliant? The cultivators of the Great Thousand Worlds must be fuming!"
Oh, they were fuming alright.
Though who exactly they were fuming at was debatable.
Qin Luo coughed lightly. "All thanks to the young lady's excellent guidance."
"Ehehe... No no no... It's all your doing, Luo Luo."
"No no no, the young lady is the brilliant one."
"Kehehe... Hehehe..."
Suddenly—
Su Muwan perked up. "Qin Luo, do you think this is enough to raise eight or ten more Sovereign Realm experts for our Netherfrost Sacred Domain?"
Qin Luo weighed the Ten Thousand Demon Banner in his hand, smiling meaningfully. "More than enough. Young lady, we've practically emptied out half of the Eastern Glory Heavenly Realm's reserves."
"Pumping all of this into cultivation, raising ten Sovereigns would be child's play."
"Then what are we waiting for?"
Su Muwan waved her hand grandly. "Let's go divvy up the loot!"
"What's the point of just me getting stronger? I'm always the one fighting—let's raise a few more slaves—no, I mean, experts!"
With that—
She turned and flew toward the domain lord's hall, muttering under her breath. "Pour all the fortune into the sacred domain's grand formation... Oh right, I still haven't checked out that golden tree. Wonder what's inside."
Qin Luo watched her retreating figure, shaking his head with a chuckle before leisurely following.
When some suffer, others rejoice.
Who suffered?
The Eastern Glory Heavenly Realm coalition, Linglong Heavenly Domain, Celestial Divination Sacred Realm, and all the gamblers who had placed their bets.
Who rejoiced?
Qin Luo looked up at the sky, face the picture of innocence.
Huh? Who? I dunno.
Everyone suffered heavy losses, right?
Well.
Either way, the Netherfrost Sacred Domain was throwing a victory banquet tonight.
...
...
Night fell, yet the Netherfrost Sacred Domain blazed as bright as day.
Countless radiant spirit lamps floated in the air, casting the entire sacred domain in shimmering light.
In the plaza before the grand hall, hundreds of jade tables were arranged, piled high with spirit wine and fruits, their fragrance filling the air.
The sacred domain's cultivators clinked cups and laughed boisterously.
They hadn't really done anything—just watched the show from the sidelines.
One moment they were there, the next, Qin Luo had teleported them a thousand miles away.
By the time they returned, they were told a banquet was being held.
Honestly, they were confused.
But also—
Absolutely thrilled.
The joy of winning without lifting a finger?
Pure bliss.
