Chapter 1148: Chapter 231: Investing in Jiumu Qing’s Dream, The Origin of Immortal Stone

"Then what about my Jiumu Source Gold baby? She’s my sister." Jiumu Qing couldn’t hold back any longer and said, "Can you return it to me?"

"I’ll return it another day." Ning Zheng spoke calmly.

Ning Zheng seldom paid attention to this thing.

But knew it was being nurtured by the blacksmiths as a manor pet.

Nurtured in the ore vein area, it replaced the original Magic Copper ore vein as the source for the Jiumu ore vein.

As long as enough resources are invested, Jiumu Gold can be produced, considered as one of the forging materials for Sword Casting Manor nowadays.

The source of the daily mining tasks for the blacksmiths.

Jiumu Qing’s claim to rescue her sister was fake; truly in her hands, who knows if it would be forged into a Magical Artifact.

Or used to nurture her own origins, or as a medium for creating a clone of her mother’s memory carrier?

Ning Zheng finished chatting about some trivial matters and directly asked, "What are your thoughts on the current situation?"

"Thoughts? I have some means to help us rise." Jiumu Qing hesitated for a moment, "I have a token that can traverse prehistoric times and benefit our Xi Rong."

This token is an insignia from the Ancient Tomb of the Immortal Venerate, kept in the core collection room of the Jiumu Sect.

In the present era, all mana has faded, and its power is less than one ten-thousandth.

So most people simply consider it a piece of trash token.

But if taken to prehistoric times, fitting the rules of heaven and earth of that era, it can leap through time, crossing into the past!

This token can only be possessed by the direct lineage of the Immortal Venerate.

Ordinary High-dimensional True Immortals cannot traverse timelines; they can only shift dimensions.

This is the difference between the true teachings of an Immortal Venerate and an ordinary countryside True Immortal.

"I can provide you with a little funding, just like supporting Phoenix Yi or the Nine-headed Dragon Emperor." Ning Zheng said, "What do you think you can do with this token?"

Jiumu Qing’s expression suddenly turned serious, "Go and procure some prehistoric treasures to sell."

"Holding the token, smuggling into earlier timelines, no one will discover me, as long as my actions aren’t too large, since every moment, there are people jumping across with tokens."

"I need an entirely new Heaven’s Chosen team, but I won’t go personally. I’ll command remotely... I know there are opportunities in some places."

Ning Zheng laughed.

Just probing a bit, Jiumu Qing couldn’t sit still.

The greatest fear is her being without desires or pursuits!

But Half-Awakened, realizing she was already dead, someone as ambitious as her, how could she be without desires or pursuits?

This Immortal Venerate banquet not only stimulated Ning Zheng but harshly stimulated Jiumu Qing, watching the other two ’selves’...

Estimated to have gone mad with jealousy!

Having been stimulated, now is the best time for Ning Zheng to entice her.

She now surely strongly desires awakening to become the Ghost King.

The more powerful a person, the harder it is to fulfill their obsession.

Because the dreams of such peerless powerhouses are basically about conquering the world...

Now investing money to help her fulfill her dreams!

Prehistoric times, what are your dreams?

Just go for it!

I’m funding your dreams... although my money may not be much.

"Rest assured, I’ll go pick people." Jiumu Qing said, "I’ll find Su Yuniang to work for me in prehistoric times... since my entity isn’t suitable to go personally."

"Still choosing Su Yuniang?" Ning Zheng hesitated slightly.

Jiumu Qing said, "No worries, first time isn’t divinated, and later won’t be either, basically safe, which is why I’m choosing her."

"Moreover, using previous hand tactics, even if divinating Su Yuniang, you can’t trace back to Xi Rong’s roots, but instead divinate on Xian."

"I’ll command them to act, traverse to some places, acquire resources, and strengthen our side’s forces."

Ning Zheng nodded, "Alright, leave it to you."

She appears to be fighting for Xi Rong, but in reality, she surely has personal ambitions to use Xi Rong to achieve certain goals.

But Ning Zheng doesn’t mind.

Because her greatest personal obsession now is certainly completing her desires, resurrecting.

Ning Zheng feels a sense of urgency, really needing an Immortal Venerate right now...

She has prepared 100 Masters already, just waiting for this friend to fully emerge.

"Go and get busy." Ning Zheng said calmly, "I permit you to issue tasks, as long as approved by Jiucai Rong, you can mobilize most of the manor’s resources!"

Jiucai Rong is clever and will guard that bottom line without allowing anyone to completely misuse it.

"No problem." Jiumu Qing was internally delighted, turned around, and left.

She looked cold and ruthless.

Once I awaken and rise to the position of Immortal Venerate, Xi Rong in front of me will be within my grasp, today’s shame to be repaid ten times over.

By then, she will also have the capital to contend against other ’Jiumu Qings’, even kill them, replace them, becoming one of the strongest existences in this era.

With endless glory, attending the ancient Immortal Venerate banquet, returning triumphantly, to greet her mother’s gratified gaze.

After sending off Jiumu Qing, Ning Zheng rubbed his temple, "Everyone’s quite busy, huh? Now I’m left like an empty nest elder, holding down the fort."

Time flew and another three days passed.

Ning Zheng idly practiced silently, yet remained stuck at the Fourth Layer of True Immortal.

Although practicing in the ancient Time Ancient Tomb’s instances could rapidly elevate his Realm, he still didn’t want to accept this huge opportunity.

Instead.

As time passed, the battles inside grew increasingly fierce.

Every day brought news of some True Immortal breaking through a Small Realm.

Even Night Emperor and Ye Tian’ai, amidst this frantic timeline, had already reached the Celestial Immortal Great Perfection, evidencing its terror.

Because the time within also flows, one day is akin to a hundred years.

These few hundred years of multi-dimensional timeline combat are comparable to the usual effects of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation.

But corresponding to this is significant casualties, which led to severe depletion of resources for True Immortals, unable to split another self across timelines...

Due to conservation of energy.

To recover injuries and augment themselves across timelines, they continually returned, carrying various wealth and resources, to re-enter the Time Ancient Tomb.

They began crazily investing money, to fight, practice, combat!

Ning Zheng saw this scene and understood it, "This is a slaughterhouse trap, starting with benefits, then treating everyone like pigs to slaughter, pilfering resources from [the future] through checkpoints back to [the past]."

What is this?

Aiding the enemy, selling the nation, disposing of family assets, gifting abroad?

Yet Ning Zheng developed another question.

These Immortal Venerates don’t seem foolish, right? Do they really worship those prehistoric Immortal Venerates, constantly transferring their assets abroad?

They’re selling their world-governing resources, digging their own roots, what benefit does this provide them?

When Ning Zheng considered the Immortal Venerates to be naive, he realized he was still young.

Because Ning Zheng received an announcement:

The Immortal Vein Domain is recruiting a large batch of miners!

This enlightened Ning Zheng.

What is the essence of the Immortal Stone?

It’s some special resource provided by prehistoric existences!

At intervals, Immortal Venerates use this means to send resources back to prehistoric times from their world.

Then the opposing Immortal Venerates reciprocate with Immortal Stones, flowing through the timeline of the Immortal Vein Domain’s Time Ancient Tomb?

The blacksmiths received this news and were instantly shocked: "The money from the Immortal Realm and Netherworld is fully reimbursed, but the people’s money is divided thirty-seventy?"

"This damn saying has to be declared a cultural relic in the Otherworld too!"

"Who cares, lots of Immortal Stones have appeared, let’s go mining, we’re just worried business is bleak lately!"

"Come on, let’s mine until the Immortal Venerates can’t afford to board Immortal Ships."

...

This is clearly the way Immortal Venerates retrieve bottom-tier resources, transforming them into Immortal Stones, collecting them in the Immortal Vein Domain, becoming their own assets!

Such a ruthless approach.

Ning Zheng realized it but also felt powerless.

While feeling the Immortal Venerates devouring people outside, they can only continue idling, practicing silently.
