Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Ask Him to Move Out
Donghuang Sheng looked at the Space Ring before him, trying to maintain his composure before opening it.
Suddenly, a roaring tidal wave of Spiritual Energy surged out.
It was as if Donghuang Sheng stood before a tsunami of Spiritual Energy, and he was momentarily overwhelmed.
A few tens of thousands of Spirit Stones wouldn’t create a significant amount of energy, but the energy from one billion Spirit Stones was astonishing, let alone a hundred billion!
Gazing at the thousand Spirit Stone Mountain peaks before him, Donghuang Sheng collected himself and extended his Soul Power.
Under the cover of his immense Soul Power, the inventory of Spirit Stones was quickly accounted for.
It was exactly one hundred billion.
With a smile, Donghuang Sheng said to Yang Xiaotian, “Young Master Yang, the count of Spirit Stones is correct. I will now proceed with the formalities for you.”
The procedures went smoothly. With Donghuang Sheng personally handling them, they were soon completed.
Donghuang Sheng personally handed over to Yang Xiaotian the token to open the Divine Residence and a booklet detailing the Divine Mansion.
He then personally escorted Yang Xiaotian and his companions out of the commerce association.
As he watched Yang Xiaotian’s departing figure, he remarked, “This young man is quite extraordinary.”
Such comment caused the experts behind him to roll their eyes. Wasn’t that obvious? Who else but someone extraordinary could produce one hundred billion Spirit Stones?
“Have you found out yet?” Donghuang Sheng cleared his throat and asked his subordinate.
“It has been confirmed. This Yang Xiaotian has just passed the Azure God Academy’s assessment today. At fourteen, he’s the youngest Disciple of the academy. However, unfortunately, he only hunted down one thousand four hundred and thirty-four Fierce Beasts, which is far less than the combat strength of the second daughter,” replied an expert of the commerce association promptly.
At this word, Donghuang Sheng shook his head in resignation, thinking it a pity. Although joining the Azure God Academy at fourteen was impressive, merely hunting a little over one thousand four hundred Fierce Beasts meant that his combat prowess was only average among the prodigies of the Azure God Academy.
He was far from matching his own second daughter.
His daughter was also at the Azure God Academy, having passed the academy’s assessment the previous year, and she had hunted over sixteen thousand Fierce Beasts at the time.
After leaving, Yang Xiaotian and the Demon Ape arrived at the gates of the Divine Mansion.
The gate was extremely wide, made of rare black-metal iron, wide enough to allow four carriages to pass side by side.
The surrounding walls were built of Meteoric Ironstone and seemed endless at a glance.
Although they had heard from Donghuang Sheng that the Divine Mansion was vast, the sight of the seemingly endless wall still caused astonishment among them.
Using the mansion’s token, Yang Xiaotian lifted the mansion’s prohibitions and entered with his companions.
In a typical estate, upon entering, one would see rockeries and fish ponds, but here, they actually saw a real mountain.
The mountain was filled with various ancient trees and Spirit Flowers, as well as palaces, pavilions, and Spiritual Spring waterfalls.
Beyond the mountain was a plain, and on the plain sat a complex of palaces.
The streets of the palace complex were crisscrossed, with ancient trees and Spirit Flowers also planted along the walkways, creating a spectacular scenery.
This was the Divine Mansion.
Yang Xiaotian felt as if he had stepped into an ancient town.
In terms of area alone, the Divine Mansion was comparable to many small towns.
Gazing at the enchanting scenery of the Divine Mansion bathed in sunlight, Yang Xiaotian grew more and more satisfied; it was like a tranquil haven amidst the bustling world.
Moreover, the Spiritual Energy within the mansion was extremely rich, making it an ideal place for cultivation.
This one hundred billion was well spent.
The Demon Ape and his companions were also amazed by the sight of the Divine Mansion.
The complex housed three hundred and sixty-five palaces, embodying the number of the Grand Circulation, and each palace was made from premium materials. These materials could gather the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, which was precisely why the Divine Mansion was suffused with such rich Spiritual Energy.
Yang Xiaotian moved into the main palace.
The Demon Apes and others took up residence in the palaces surrounding the main palace.
However, just the main palace itself housed over a dozen rooms and several courtyards.
Above the main gate of the palace, Yang Xiaotian also saw the ancient runes “Above All Divine” carved by the Lord of the Divine with Sword Qi, exuding an unsurpassed domineering aura, giving one the shocking impression of towering above all heavens and deities.
As he gazed upon these four characters, feeling the supreme Sword Dao contained within, the fourteen Sword Hearts within Yang Xiaotian felt an itching to stir.
The reason why the Divine Residence was so coveted was also because the palace had many sword characters left by the Lord of the Divine with Sword Qi. These characters, which subtly embodied the supreme Sword Dao, were a peerless treasure for swordmasters.
Just as Yang Xiaotian and the others took residence in the Divine Mansion, several unwelcome guests arrived at the East Emperor Commerce Association.
“What, the Divine Mansion has been sold?” Princess Bai Li’s expression turned rather unsightly.
She had learned just yesterday that the Divine Mansion was up for sale, and had gathered a hundred billion lower-grade Spirit Stones by selling everything, even her beloved sword, but upon arriving at the East Emperor Commerce Association, she was informed it had already been sold!
Suppressing the frustration in her heart, Bai Li asked Donghuang Sheng, “Uncle Donghuang, who exactly bought the mansion?”
Donghuang Sheng shook his head and said, “We can’t reveal the customer’s name to you, they purchased it just over two hours ago.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Li regretted even more that if it hadn’t been for a two-hour delay on the road, the Divine Mansion wouldn’t have been bought by someone else.
A short while later, Bai Li left the Commerce Association, her face the picture of disappointment.
The young man accompanying Bai Li spoke in a grave voice, “If Sister Bai Li likes the Divine Mansion, then let’s have him move out.”
The young man was none other than Shen Yuwen, a Core Disciple of the Shen Family.
Shen Yuwen’s grandfather was one of the most powerful Ancient Ancestors of the Shen Family.
“Make him move out of the Divine Mansion?” Bai Li was astonished.
Although Donghuang Sheng did not reveal the buyer’s identity, she had nonetheless managed to find out that it was a youth named Yang Xiaotian who had bought it.
This Yang Xiaotian, he couldn’t be a disciple from any of the superpower forces on the Azure God Continent.
“Indeed, let’s have him move out, and afterwards, we’ll just give him an extra million lower-grade Spirit Stones,” said Shen Yuwen.
“This, isn’t it a bit inappropriate?” Bai Li hesitated.
Shen Yuwen understood Bai Li’s concern and said, “The Divine Mansion has already been sold and no longer falls under the jurisdiction of the East Emperor Commerce Association. Even if we make that kid move out, the Commerce Association won’t be able to say anything.”
“Besides, the kid just bought it two hours ago, and now he’s about to make a quick million lower-grade Spirit Stones for nothing—I doubt he’d dare to complain.”
Bai Li was tempted.
“If Sister Bai Li feels uneasy about speaking up, I’ll do it,” said Shen Yuwen, and then he led Bai Li towards the Divine Mansion.
Soon, they arrived at the Divine Mansion.
Looking at the majestic and domineering Divine Mansion before her, Bai Li felt her heart race even more.
“Young Master, should I call the boy out?” a Shen Family guard asked Shen Yuwen for instructions.
“There’s no need for that trouble,” said Shen Yuwen, and with that, he suddenly punched towards the mansion’s main gate.
Boom!
The gate of the Divine Mansion resonated with a thunderous sound.
Yang Xiaotian was inside the palace, planning to practice all his swordsmanship techniques when suddenly the mansion vibrated tremendously and the protective light shimmered, leaving him astonished.
Almost simultaneously, the six Demon Apes appeared by Yang Xiaotian’s side.
“Let’s go out and check,” Yang Xiaotian’s expression darkened, and then he led the six Demon Apes flying towards the mansion’s main gate.
