Chapter 1369: Parting Ways
"Brother Jingzhen, what kind of treasure do you need? I'm very familiar with this place."
At this moment, Huo Yang looked at Su Jingzhen and asked.
Judging by the treasures she carried, it was evident that this girl was a frequent visitor here.
It was no surprise that she knew the treasure vault so well.
However, Su Jingzhen shook his head.
He wasn’t here for just one or two items—he wanted everything!
Of course, he couldn’t say this to Huo Yang outright.
He smiled and said to her, "Little girl, go find what you need.
Huo Yang was quite curious about what Su Jingzhen was after.
But with countless treasures scattered like stars before her, she couldn’t wait to claim her own.
After a quick word to Su Jingzhen, she dashed off into the depths of the treasure vault.
Su Jingzhen, meanwhile, headed in another direction.
At the same time, he took out the black brick in his hand.
As its dark light flickered, he began absorbing everything he saw into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
However, he couldn’t simply take everything from the Divine Flame Family’s treasure vault without consequence.
"Little Green, please help me replicate everything I’ve taken.
We need to replace it.
After all, the Divine Flame Family is a force supporting me. It wouldn’t be right to only take and not give back."
As soon as he spoke, a radiant light of the Great Dao shone from Little Green’s body.
It enveloped all the treasures Su Jingzhen had just absorbed.
In the next moment, the Great Dao energy within those treasures was absorbed by Little Green.
Then, an exact replica, even more refined than the original, was created.
Su Jingzhen continued on his way, replacing every treasure in the Divine Flame Family’s vault, regardless of its level.
Before long, he reached Huo Yang’s location.
At that moment, Huo Yang was struggling to obtain a bright, star-like treasure in front of her.
However, the energy barrier surrounding the star was extremely powerful.
Even with all her abilities, Huo Yang was finding it difficult to break through.
Clearly, the treasures Huo Yang had chosen were among the top-tier items in the Divine Flame Family’s vault.
The energy fluctuations emanating from this star suggested it was a Demon General Realm-level treasure, possibly even nearing the Demon King level.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen chuckled lightly, "Do you need my help?"
Hearing his voice, Huo Yang turned around, her face lighting up with surprise.
"Brother Jingzhen, please help me!
I know this treasure is one of the top ten in the vault, but its protective barrier is too strong.
With my current abilities, I can’t break through it."
As soon as Huo Yang finished speaking, the dark light from Su Jingzhen’s black brick enveloped the star.
In the next moment, the treasure she had been longing for was absorbed into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
But just a moment later, an identical treasure appeared before Huo Yang.
It was a bronze mirror.
It radiated a powerful aura of the Great Dao.
Though it hadn’t reached the Demon King level, it was undoubtedly at the peak of the Demon General Realm.
It seemed to be a defensive-type treasure.
Huo Yang was overjoyed.
With this treasure, she could likely withstand multiple Demon General Realm attacks without being harmed.
"There’s more, Brother Jingzhen! Help me get that star over there too.
This is just a defensive treasure. I still need an offensive one."
Huo Yang pointed to another equally radiant star and said.
Su Jingzhen smiled and didn’t hesitate.
The dark light from the black brick shone again, and the treasure was absorbed into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
This time, it was a hairpin.
It was half light purple and half dark black.
It exuded an extremely sharp aura.
"This seems to be an autonomous offensive-type treasure.
With its power, if Huo Yang can activate it, she could likely kill a Demon General Realm cultivator below the fifth transformation in an instant."
As soon as Su Jingzhen saw the hairpin, he couldn’t help but marvel.
The core disciples of these top-tier Demon King-level forces truly had it easy.
From birth, they were far ahead of ordinary cultivators.
Having risen from humble beginnings, Su Jingzhen knew that cultivators from places like Linjiang City, even with great talent, could only dream of reaching the level of Yunmeng City or the Holy City in their lifetimes.
If they were lucky, they might be accepted by a sect in the Luo River region, but that was their limit.
The treasures Huo Yang and others took for granted were things cultivators from remote regions could only dream of.
After Little Green absorbed the unique Great Dao energy from the hairpin, it created an exact replica.
Su Jingzhen handed it to Huo Yang.
"That’s enough! With these two treasures, one for offense and one for defense, I might be able to participate in Demon General Realm-level battles in the future."
Huo Yang didn’t dare to think about Demon King-level battles just yet.
She was willful, but not foolish.
She knew that even if she were given a Demon King-level treasure, with her current strength, she might not be able to activate it.
At this point, Su Jingzhen didn’t stop.
The dark light from the black brick grew even more intense.
Wherever it shone, all the treasures were absorbed into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Seeing this, Huo Yang was stunned.
She hadn’t expected Su Jingzhen to be so bold.
"Brother Jingzhen, what are you…?"
Huo Yang naturally knew that Su Jingzhen’s combat power was extraordinary.
Most of the treasures he was absorbing were things he didn’t need.
In her eyes, those items were too low-level for him.
However, Su Jingzhen didn’t respond.
In the next moment, all the treasures he had absorbed were returned to their original places, leaving Huo Yang utterly perplexed.
Su Jingzhen’s actions made no sense to her.
Soon, Su Jingzhen had replaced all the treasures in the vault.
However, for the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, absorbing so much core Great Dao energy from the Divine Flame Family’s vault didn’t result in any significant changes.
Su Jingzhen wasn’t disappointed by this—it was within his expectations.
"Little girl, let’s go. It’s time to leave."
With that, the two of them exited the treasure vault.
They had only been inside for less than an hour, which surprised the two Demon General Realm guards at the entrance.
After all, most core disciples would spend as much time as possible examining every treasure before making a choice.
"Now, it seems there’s really nothing left for me to collect in the Moluo Realm.
Is it really time for me to leave?"
Back in the courtyard, Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.
How the Divine Flame Family would go about annexing the forces in the central region was no longer his concern.
The Fire Pupil Demon King would handle everything.
There might still be many places of opportunity in the central region that could help the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss grow.
But ever since learning about the Boundless Demon Realm, his heart was no longer here.
For him, staying in the Moluo Realm would only be a waste of time.
In the Boundless Demon Realm and the Demon God Realm, among the top-ranked realms, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss might grow at its fastest rate.
"I thought I could stay in the Moluo Realm a bit longer, but it seems my heart is no longer here."
With a bitter smile, Su Jingzhen went to find You Yue.
Seeing Su Jingzhen appear, You Yue’s heart trembled.
She knew exactly what his arrival meant.
"Husband, are you… leaving so soon?"
Su Jingzhen smiled and nodded, "There’s nothing left for me to do in the Moluo Realm. It’s indeed time to leave."
As he spoke, he pulled You Yue into his arms.
With her soft, fragrant body against him, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate. In a flash, the two of them were in the room.
The formation activated once more, isolating them from the outside world.
Before long, the sound of their passion filled the air.
At the moment of parting, You Yue was especially unrestrained.
She shed all her previous shyness.
Their intimate battle lasted for three days.
During those three days, Su Jingzhen had to rest three times.
You Yue poured all her reluctance into their time together.
After the storm of passion subsided, Su Jingzhen’s vision was filled with golden text.
[Emotional Connection +90]
[Emotional Connection +90]
[...]
[Remaining Available Points: 56,399]
[Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 48, Zhang Xiu: 70…]
[Daily Fixed Points: …]
[Remaining Available Points: 57,824]
In three days, aside from the fixed points, You Yue had provided him with fifty points.
This was the most he had ever received in such a short time.
It almost made up for the points he had spent on his breakthrough a few days ago.
"Husband, the Boundless Demon Realm is not like the Moluo Realm. Be careful."
No matter how intimate they were, the time to part had come.
After dressing, You Yue looked at Su Jingzhen and spoke.
Su Jingzhen pinched her flawless cheek.
With a smile, he said, "My love, wait for me here."
Without lingering any longer, Su Jingzhen stepped out and left Huo Yang’s estate.
Without saying goodbye to anyone, he disappeared from the heart of the Divine Flame Family.
Only the Fire Pupil Demon King, deep within the Divine Flame Family, sensed his departure.
His gaze followed the direction Su Jingzhen had gone.
His eyes were filled with anticipation and blessing.
"The Demon God’s revival is imminent. We don’t have much time left.
Envoy, I hope you can lead us to the pinnacle once more in this lifetime."
