Chapter 2253 - 2238: The Primal World

Chapter 2253: Chapter 2238: The Primal World

"Elder Yi, I’m sorry to trouble you this time." In the residence of Mountain God Yi Xun, Ye Zhen’s expression was somewhat awkward.

This was Ye Zhen’s first visit to Mountain God Yi Xun after returning from the Golden Moon World, staying in the Mirage Dragon Pearl for a day to recover the depleted spiritual power.

Ye Zhen was completely unaware that a projection avatar of a mysterious powerful being had once descended into the secret space he had built under the sea.

Because the secret space Ye Zhen constructed underwater was also equipped with a guardian formation.

The guardian formation didn’t issue any warnings, so Ye Zhen paid no attention to it.

He naturally didn’t know if anyone had been there.

Now, for Ye Zhen, the pressing matter was to quickly repay the debt.

Deep down, what Ye Zhen disliked the most was being in debt, followed closely by owing favors.

"It’s alright."

Mountain God Yi Xun waved his hand, "With your status as the Duke of North Sea County, delaying this debt by a few months is not a problem.

If you’re really tight on funds, you can also pay in installments." As a veteran trader for many years on Five Immortals Island, he had good judgment in this area.

Ye Zhen, as a Duke of North Sea County with two fiefs, certainly had the ability to repay this debt.

"No need, no need, I can repay this debt now, but only by compensating with large amounts of materials and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, as I don’t have that many Spirit Stones on hand," Ye Zhen said.

"Certainly! Using slaves and materials as compensation, although the prices on Five Immortals Island are fair, we can slightly increase the trading price for guest elders. In bulk, there’s still a good profit to be made," Mountain God Yi Xun said.

"Great!"

Ye Zhen glanced around the hall, "Elder Yi, let’s find a bigger place."

Soon after, when Mountain God Yi Xun brought Ye Zhen to an underground warehouse on Five Immortals Island with space folded dozens of times, mountains of materials rapidly emerged from Ye Zhen’s palm, forming large piles.

A multitude of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, especially those ores, mostly still in their raw state, were all taken out by Ye Zhen at this moment.

In less than an hour, a folded space warehouse with a length of a hundred miles, a width of fifty miles, and a height of ten miles on Five Immortals Island was completely filled.

In astonishment, Mountain God Yi Xun led Ye Zhen to another warehouse.

Half a day later, after switching through thirty warehouses, Ye Zhen finally emptied all the materials he needed to trade.

The way Mountain God Yi Xun looked at Ye Zhen had completely changed.

"Duke Ye, if you’ve discovered the coordinates of a primitive world, our Five Immortals Hall is willing to offer a heavenly price to purchase the coordinates of a primitive world," Mountain God Yi Xun said firmly.

"What level can a heavenly price reach?" Ye Zhen asked.

"Innate Spiritual Treasures, even if you need one or two Innate Spiritual Treasures, we can get them for you. As long as the price is right, we will do our best to meet your demands."

Mountain God Yi Xun was sincere, but Ye Zhen on this side felt a bit helpless.

A primitive world is different from an ordinary little world.

A primitive world refers to worlds like the Primordial Continent that emerged from the chaotic void.

Such worlds possess predetermined Heaven and Earth Laws and the Great Dao. Even those closest to the Heavenly Dao can only influence the world’s operation but cannot control it completely.

Like the renowned Three Great Taoist Ancestors of the Primordial Continent, who can influence it to some extent but can’t fully control it.

Unlike human-created worlds that, once a Realm-Control Jade Talisman is obtained, like the Demon Soul Realm, can be controlled.

Moreover, primitive worlds have exceptionally strong growth potential.

Just like the Primordial Continent, which continues to expand even now.

These primitive worlds, with their limitless resources, are veritable sources of wealth and extremely rare.

However, most importantly, it’s about cultivation and the Heavenly Dao!

In primitive worlds, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi never ceases, and Heaven and Earth Laws and the Great Dao continuously evolve, providing martial artists infinite potential for growth.

From a certain perspective, martial artists cultivating in a primitive world have no limit to their cultivation.

This is one of the most important hallmarks of a primitive world.

Places like the True Profound Continent and Golden Moon World, where martial artists have a cap on their cultivation, are not primitive worlds.

Mountain God Yi Xun saw Ye Zhen continually bringing in massive amounts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and thought Ye Zhen had discovered a primitive world, hence the inquiry.

"Elder Yi, I have discovered a common little world, but the cultivation limit of this little world is the Realm King Realm, and it already has an owner. Its owner is the Fifth Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Poyue." To avoid misunderstanding, Ye Zhen explained clearly.

Kidding, if there’s a rumor that he discovered a primitive world, even the Three Great Taoist Ancestors of the Heavenly Temple might come out.

Primitive worlds are too precious!

After invasion, the gains are immeasurable.

Speaking of which, the current marauding Demon Clan in the Primordial Continent is actually an invader, while the Human Clan is an indigenous population.

The Primordial Continent is a tremendously precious primitive world capable of growth.

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, Mountain God Yi Xun nodded, "No wonder last time you brought so many Demon Clan slaves. By the way, do you have any Demon Clan slaves this time?"

"Of course, but their cultivation is a bit lower than the last batch." Ye Zhen said.

"Slaves, as long as they are robust and strong, never too many! Especially those of the Demon Clan." Mountain God Yi Xun’s eyes flashed with a cold light, indicating a hatred for the Demon Clan.

Subsequently, Ye Zhen handed over more than 1.2 million Demon Clan slaves to Mountain God Yi Xun!

Such an immense transaction of slave population kept Mountain God Yi Xun and his subordinates incredibly busy.

However, these were not all the slaves Ye Zhen captured this time, not even one-seventh of them.

Half a day later, Ye Zhen left Five Immortals Island with a hundred Mountain Range Essence Cores and fifty Earth Vein Essence Cores given by Mountain God Yi Xun, heading straight for the Market of Dulong Island.

During these seven and a half months, although Ye Zhen was in debt, Five Immortals Island continued to collect Mountain Range and Earth Vein Essence Cores for Ye Zhen without pause.

There’s still no news about the Star Essence Core, and the hundred Mountain Range Essence Cores and fifty Earth Vein Essence Cores represent the total amount collected over a year and three months by the Five Immortals Hall.

According to Mountain God Yi Xun, the collection volume will only decrease from now on.

However, Ye Zhen was satisfied.

With these Mountain Range and Earth Vein Essence Cores, the power of his Earth Element Thousand Image Seal could increase by at least thirty percent.

Even though the increase doesn’t seem large, considering the current power of Ye Zhen’s Earth Element Thousand Image Seal, even a half-percent increase would be astonishing.

At the Market of Dulong Island, Ye Zhen deposited fifty thousand Demon Clan slaves with cultivation above the Dao Entrance Realm and hurriedly headed for Le’an County.

In Le’an County, from Left Assistant Qiao Hong and Left Commander Tang Biao, down to relevant officials of Le’an County, all had been waiting in a valley.

The valley was currently under the control of trusted subordinates under Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy’s Deputy Envoy, Fengg Jiumo.

After Ye Zhen secretly arrived and briefly interacted with Fengg Jiumo, Tang Biao, and others, he released a large number of Human Clan slaves.

That’s right, Human Clan slaves.

All were captured from the Golden Moon World.

The number was as high as six and a half million.

This six and a half million slaves included the elderly, the young, the strong, and the weak, both women and men. Some were entire families captured together.

There was no choice, as this was considered a relatively good option Ye Zhen offered them.

Those who cooperated and came as a family would be assigned as military households, rather than slaves.

After fifteen years as a military household, they could become ordinary citizens, and their children, once adult, could also become ordinary citizens.

As for those who didn’t cooperate, sorry, they were all demoted to slaves.

They would be sent to the mines for hard labor. Of course, while the hardest mines were worked by Demon Clan slaves, these people would need to work in the mines for at least ten years before becoming military households.

This population was specifically captured by Ye Zhen from the Golden Moon World to fill the large population gap in Le’an County.

With the supplement of this population, the grand development of Le’an County now had a foundation.

However, the influx of such a massive population directly left the various officials in Le’an County utterly overwhelmed!
