Chapter 1003: Chapter 974: Astonishing Wealth
On hearing Chen Fei’s words, Jiang Chengji couldn’t help but feel slightly stunned.
Jiang Chengji had lived for thousands of years and experienced countless events, almost nothing could surprise him anymore.
However, when he heard that Chen Fei wanted the inheritances of all Emperor-level masters in the Sun Moon Realm, Jiang Chengji felt as if he might have heard wrong.
“All Emperor-level inheritances?” Jiang Chengji frowned and confirmed again.
“Yes!” Chen Fei nodded affirmatively.
“There are fifty-seven Emperor inheritances in the treasury, excluding the four you exchanged last time, leaving fifty-three. You will need to spend 79,500 merit points,” Jiang Chengji said in a grave voice.
Jiang Chengji of course knew that Chen Fei currently had 150,000 merit points on him.
This amount of merit points was unrivaled in the entire Qiankun Mansion, even compared to those who had set up the betting pools at the pinnacle of the Sun Moon Realm, their points were minuscule compared to Chen Fei’s.
But, however many merit points one had, if one really exchanged all of the Emperor Realm inheritances, it would consume more than half of them instantly.
Emperor inheritances were certainly important, but exchanging even one should have been completely sufficient.
If one had exceptional talent, then exchanging two or three would already be quite sufficient. Any more than that would purely be a waste.
Chen Fei had previously exchanged four inheritances and indeed had carved out his own path, his talent truly being extraordinary.
But even with extraordinary talent, to find what he needed within the new fifty-three Emperor inheritances would be an enormous task, virtually an impossible one.
No human imperial sovereign in the past history at the Sun Moon Realm stage had ever done such a thing.
Because it was laborious and unrewarding, besides wasting one’s time, it wasn’t worth it!
Additionally, Jiang Chengji had already told Chen Fei last time that the Rule Integration Realm was about controlling rules, so during the Sun Moon Realm, one should choose the rule attributes they want to control in the future.
At that time, Chen Fei chose the rule of Body Power, which had no issues at all.
But now wanting to exchange all the Emperor inheritances, what was this all about? The rules involved were numerous, too much for the Sun Moon Realm to foresee.
“Alright, I am willing to exchange,” Chen Fei nodded his head, one inheritance costing 1,500 merit points, as had always been the case.
Losing nearly eighty thousand merit points all at once, Chen Fei indeed felt a bit of pain, but just a bit.
Merit points were meant to be used, and exchanging for martial arts was, in Chen Fei’s view, the most cost-effective transaction.
The remaining approximately seventy thousand merit points were already enough for Chen Fei to comprehend Divine Powers and techniques in the special cultivation room, and he might even have some leftover in the end.
Once Chen Fei broke through to the Rule Integration Realm, the merit points of Qiankun Mansion could not be said to be useless, but their utility would indeed be very low.
Qiankun Mansion was used by the human race to cultivate those at the Rule Integration Realm, and once broken through to the Rule Integration Realm, the assistance from Qiankun Mansion would become very minimal.
The Qiankun Cauldron, ultimately, was just a Sixth-Tier mystical treasure, aiding those at the Sun Moon Realm was no problem, but to assist those at the Rule Integration Realm really became somewhat difficult.
Of course, it wasn’t that it had no effect, but the consumption of the Qiankun Cauldron would also be tremendously shocking, and it easily damaged the origin of the Qiankun Cauldron.
The most important function of the Qiankun Cauldron was to directly defend against enemies during critical times for the human race. Its origin, that was absolutely not to be used up.
In essence, Qiankun Mansion could only be regarded as an ancillary function of the Qiankun Cauldron.
Thus, Qiankun Mansion only recruited those at the Sun Moon Realm to cultivate here, not allowing other entities at the Rule Integration Realm to consume its epiphany within.
Jiang Chengji looked at Chen Fei and his mouth opened slightly; he originally wanted to persuade him a bit more, but after thinking, he did not speak out.
The necessary advice had actually already been given last time. To give more would seem a bit nagging.
Those who could cultivate to the Sun Moon Realm all had their own ideas; at most one could offer some reminders, but couldn’t make life decisions for others.
After all, cultivating was in itself a very personal matter.
“Come on.”
Jiang Chengji slightly shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, the surroundings changed. The two were already standing before a row of bookshelves, on which were displayed all the well-preserved Emperor inheritances of the human race to date.
Chen Fei looked at these Emperor inheritances, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.
Finally, he had the opportunity to exchange all these Emperor inheritances he had long coveted.
Sometimes, to obtain some things, when it is time to take a risk, one must take the risk.
If it weren’t for that trip to the Glass Space, Chen Fei wondered how long it would take to accumulate enough merit points to exchange for all the Emperor inheritances.
Now not only could he take away all these Emperor inheritances, he could also freely comprehend them in the special cultivation room with the remaining points.
Although in the end at the Glass Space, he encountered a pursuit by a powerhouse in the Rule Integration Realm.
Even in the worst-case scenario, where Chen Fei really got trapped within the Glass Space, or even died there, didn’t Chen Fei still have a revival point in the void?
At that time, relying on that revival point, Chen Fei could still recover.
Jiang Chengji watched the expression in Chen Fei’s eyes and couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. With a wave of his hand, the fifty-three inheritance stones of the Emperor inheritances that had yet to be exchanged appeared in Jiang Chengji’s hands.
“Are you sure you want to exchange so many inheritances?” Jiang Chengji asked, holding out the inheritance stones for confirmation.
“Confirmed,” Chen Fei nodded.
If he had more merit points, Chen Fei would have wanted to exchange for the inheritances left by late-stage Rule Integration Realm powerhouses as well.
The stone of other mountains can polish jade, and perhaps the inheritances of those late-stage Rule Integration Realm powerhouses could propel the refining of his martial arts to a higher level.
However, compared to the fifty or so Emperor inheritances, the number of late-stage Rule Integration Realm inheritances was too vast. After so many years of accumulation, Chen Fei’s merit points were truly insufficient.
Seeing that Chen Fei had not changed his mind, Jiang Chengji nodded and handed fifty-three inheritance stones over to Chen Fei.
“Besides these inheritances, is there anything else you want to exchange?” Jiang Chengji looked up at Chen Fei.
“Nothing else for now,” Chen Fei thought for a moment and replied.
Chen Fei did not need the spirit material to comprehend Divine Power; he would comprehend it together in a special cultivation room when the time came.
What Chen Fei really needed was to quickly fill the space inside his body with pills.
Once Chen Fei broke through from the mid-level of the Sun Moon Realm to the later stages, the space within his body would transform from the state of a towering pillar to a base space with length, width, and height dimensions.
The eventual size of this base space depended entirely on the size of the space that the three Divine Powers each person condensed could suppress.
The profundity of the Cultivation Technique decided the strength of the Divine Powers.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Chen Fei should still exchange for pills here.
But previously in the Glass Space, the wealth Chen Fei had amassed was enormous, and all he needed was to find a time to liquidate it, which would be enough to support his daily cultivation needs.
A short time later, Chen Fei left the treasury and headed towards the public area.
Jiang Chengji watched Chen Fei’s disappearing figure, his gaze thoughtful.
All the Emperor-level techniques Chen Fei had displayed ambition for, even a late-stage Rule Integration Realm like Jiang Chengji, were somewhat furrowed.
Whether Chen Fei’s talent could support such ambition was an unknown, and no one could say for certain.
Now, Jiang Chengji only hoped that if Chen Fei found himself inadequate, he could timely rein himself in instead of stubbornly trying to refine all the Emperor-level techniques into one.
In less than a short time, Chen Fei appeared outside the special cultivation room.
Yu Dingshan saw Chen Fei, and a smile couldn’t help showing on his face.
Much of the Sun Moon Realm actually didn’t yet know of Chen Fei’s achievements in the Glass Space, as most of those in the mid-level of the Sun Moon Realm who were aware were still in the Glass Space themselves.
But as top-level battle strength of the human race, the Rule Integration Realm naturally had far more sources of information than the Sun Moon Realm.
“What type of cultivation room do you want, and for how long?” Yu Dingshan asked with a smile.
“Insights into a martial art, As for the duration, I’m not sure myself. If the merit points are insufficient, Senior, feel free to summon me out,” Chen Fei shook his head.
Chen Fei truly did not know how long he would need, but he thought that with the remaining merit points, it would be enough for him to comprehend all the martial arts he wanted to cultivate.
“Alright, go to that one,” Yu Dingshan nodded and pointed towards one of the cultivation rooms.
“Thank you, Senior,” Chen Fei bowed and turned towards the direction of the cultivation room.
Entering the designated cultivation room, the furnishings inside were as simple as ever.
Chen Fei walked up to the mat and sat down, his mind involuntarily becoming calm.
Chen Fei did not start comprehending the Emperor inheritances right away but began to organize the hundreds of mid-grade Spiritual treasures.
In the human race borderlands, there was not enough time and the location was not quite right, moreover, Dao Yuefeng had helped Chen Fei heal and fully recover his weakened state.
Now in this cultivation room, with no one to disturb him, it was a good time to take stock of the collection within the mid-grade Spiritual treasures.
Previously in the Glass Space, Chen Fei had only had time to take a quick look.
Chen Fei began to empty the treasures inside each Spiritual treasure one by one, clearing out one and then setting it aside.
The treasures inside the Spiritual treasures aside, these mid-grade Spiritual treasures were actually hugely valuable.
Although since they were alien races’ Spiritual treasures, they were not quite suitable for the human race and the price was somewhat lower,
but no matter how low, they were still at the level of mid-grade Spiritual treasures. If one was willing to modify them, spending some fifth-tier materials, it was still possible to convert them into Spiritual treasures usable by the human race.
After spending two hours, Chen Fei quickly inventoried the collection inside the hundreds of Spiritual treasures.
The further he went, the more brilliant the smile on Chen Fei’s face became.
Knowing that it would be a staggering fortune, but only after the actual tally did he truly understand the extent of the wealth.
Just the top-grade primordial stones alone amounted to over five million.
If Chen Fei were not afraid of loss, and willing to exchange top-grade primordial stones for low-grade Primordial Crystals at any cost, then the top-grade primordial stones in Chen Fei’s hands could be exchanged for nearly ten thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals.
To simplify the Sixth-Tier Celestial Suppression would require one hundred thousand low-grade Primordial Crystals. Now, did it seem like he was one step closer to his goal?
