Hengsheng gazed at the Dimensional Map, revealing everything about this shattered realm before him.
There was a thing he needed to do before he destroyed this realm—he had to loot everything that had value here, not wasting it.
This place was established as an Immortal Inheritance site; it was undoubtedly filled with treasures, but most had already been raided by otherworldly cultivators before Hengsheng even arrived.
Even though his Endless Wealth Peak could spawn treasure endlessly with the power of Origin Energy, he still needed treasures that came from nature, either to have a prototype to copy or to accumulate them for other purposes.
The treasure that respawned was not perfect; it could not fully replace the value of treasures spawned from Heaven and Earth.
Due to the Heavenly Dao always limiting his Origin Energy from time to time whenever he found a way to solve the undersupply resource situation, the world setting that Heaven had placed.
Like in the case of him and his followers, he did not sell them or exchange them as the Heavenly Dao's limitation had stated—he just gave them away. But Heaven was not satisfied with that either.
Then, the Heavenly Dao sent another limitation upon him.
The new limitation stated that the treasure spawned with Origin Energy could still be given away, but it could only be used inside the Endless Wealth Peak or the territory under Blue's system.
It could not be brought outside—it would disappear. Pills, artifacts, or other items made from the treasure created by Origin Energy as a component also could not avoid this; if brought outside, they would face tribulation, like a Pill Tribulation or Artifact Tribulation.
Hengsheng thought that if he found another way to cheat again, Heaven would surely send another limitation to prevent him from oversupplying resources to the cultivation world.
This is why the natural treasures of Heaven and Earth would always hold value.
Hengsheng closed the Dimensional Map after finishing planning the trip, then he moved immediately.
Woosh!
Hengsheng did the same thing he did before he left the Secret Land of the Pillar Foundation—he plundered everything that had value!
Jumping here and there through the dimensional vortex, collecting numerous treasures. The treasures in this realm were quite pitiful compared to the Secret Land, but treasure is treasure—better to have it.
Especially the Divine-grade treasures. It was the sort of thing that Origin Energy could not create, because Origin Energy was unable to replicate the Dao Essence or anything related to Dao.
Hengsheng could only make a fake Dao aura with his Origin Energy; it felt almost like the real one, but it was hollow inside, with no Dao Essence. Of course, the effects caused by the Dao could not manifest either.
He could trick his followers with the fake Dao aura; they would not know about it until they entered the Dao-level realm. At that moment, they would realize their Divine Treasure was a scam and could not be used to comprehend the Dao.
Hengsheng was not afraid of losing his reputation among his people because by that time, his strength alone should be more than enough to convince them to shut up and follow him.
Not long after, he reached the second-to-last target of his treasure hunt session.
Woosh!
Hengsheng appeared in the small hidden mountain valley. It shone with golden light all over the place, The light shone within this place where the sun could not reach because of the treasure's presence on the wall.
He picked up the chunk of golden metal with his Divine Sense before sending it into the system storage. This treasure emitted a sharp aura from it—he could have cut himself if he had picked it up with his hand.
Then, only the last target was left.
He gazed at the Divine Stone in his grasp. He had received it from Yunsu, she said she found it in the hands of a group of otherworldly cultivators.
It exactly looked like a spirit stone; the only difference between them was that the Divine Stone emitted a Dao aura like a Divine-Grade Treasure.
The Divine Stone was basically a spirit stone of the Divine-Grade Level, which was extremely rare; one would not find them in any resource trade market since no one traded them.
Some cultivators might not even have a chance to see one with their own eyes before their long lifespan ends.
Even in the Five Pillar Realm, only first-rate factions possessed them, and no one used them for trade because they were far too valuable.
They were one of the essential resources directly linked to the strength of a faction, just like any other highly valued Divine-Grade treasure; no one trades strength for some money—only stupid people do.
If a cultivator uses the Divine Stone for cultivation instead of a normal spirit stone, aside from the unmatched quality of Spiritual Qi that makes it easier for the cultivator to absorb and refine than any spirit stone quality, it would also give them a slim chance to enter the Dao enlightenment stage.
This Divine Stone was Hengsheng's main target in this treasure hunt. Like spirit stones, Divine Stones were found where Spiritual Qi veins were located.
The purple dimensional vortex swallowed Hengsheng's body.
Woosh
He appeared again inside a cave tunnel, but this was not a Lan Clan cave—it was a cave deep within the mountain range of the Shattered Realm.
Before him was a cave tunnel filled with numerous raw Divine Stones scattered all over the cave's wall.
Their shape was rough, and their size was slightly bigger than a normal spirit stone, which was egg-sized, since they had not yet been purified.
These stones were impure and could not be used for cultivation or any other purpose until they were purified—removing all impurities and leaving only pure Spiritual Qi ready for use.
Hengsheng started to collect them all into his system storage. As he collected them, he walked deeper into the cave.
Before long, he reached the cave chamber that he was aiming for. Like the tunnel, this place was filled with numerous raw Divine Stones. There were also other things inside this place.
The Dao Monument—a golden stone tablet in the middle of the chamber. It pulsed, sending Dao rhythm throughout the chamber, forming a Dao Field.
This place reminded Hengsheng of the scene from the Golden Pagoda. The difference was that the Dao Field is placed above a high-quality Spiritual Qi Vein.
This rare combination was one of the few causes for the Divine Stone to form.
Hengsheng quickly cleared the Divine Stones that lay on the floor of the Dao Field's area. Soon, the surroundings were clear, and then he formed a formation around it.
He wants to take both of them with him since they will enable him to have a source of Divine Stone inside his Endless Wealth Peak.
Extracting the Spiritual Qi Vein was not hard for him, but the real problem was the Dao Field—he wanted to take it with him too, but it was not easy since it was linked to the entire realm.
So he had to use a trick to take it.
Soon, the formation was a success under his hand; it was quite hard to form this level of formation, but his Divine Sense and Qi control were strong enough to form it barely.
It was a Rank 5 formation—The Eight Earth Pillar Formation. It was normally used to hold landscapes together, such as preventing mountains from collapsing or connecting islands to form a small continent.
Currently, he uses it to hold the entire chamber together, preventing it from falling apart when the realm fell into the infinite void.
Lastly, he marked the Dao Monument with the Anchor Lock—another core ability of the Dimensional Traveler System.
This allowed him to form a dimensional connection with the marked object, enabling him to teleport to it regardless of distance, watch over it through the system, or even teleport the marked target to himself.
"Let's hope it will work…" Hengsheng prayed. He didn't know if his plan would succeed or not, but he would try it.
Woosp!
Hengsheng appears again on the peak of Endless Wealth Peak.
"Everything is ready," Hengsheng murmured, while standing on the cliff—the same place where he announced this mountain to the heavens.
He gazing at the shattering sky, he opens his system to set up an automation: first, absorbing the Dimensional Essence; after the realm completes its fall, retrieving the cave chamber from the infinite void; and lastly…
Hengsheng scrolled through the World Hopping Option. There were many interesting realms to settle in, but ultimately, he chose the Nine Heaven Realm because he at least had some information on it, and the risk was acceptable.
The system automation had been set. All he had to do now was destroy this realm—everything else, the system would take care of.
"Oh, I almost forgot about them!" When Hengsheng was about to strike, he noticed the demon beasts that roamed around the shattered realm. These poor guys were about to die. Would he face great karma if his actions caused their deaths?
He did not know. He could not save them anyway, even if he wanted to. There were millions of them.
However, at least he will pray for their souls.
Hengsheng closed his eyes and put his hands together like a Buddhist.
From beneath his closed eyes, golden light leaked through the lids, growing brighter and brighter, until even his eyelids could no longer contain its radiant intensity.
When Hengsheng finished praying, he slowly opened his eyes. As they opened, the golden light illuminated the entire shattered realm.
