Chapter 217
“As for the spoils we took from outside, we’ll wait until the Bloodflame Garment has been nurtured and Crow has completed its transformation before we start counting them properly. There’s no rush.”
For now, the spoils Qi Ping had gathered from this operation were stashed away by the swarm in various out-of-the-way corners across the Azure Sky Domain, and he had no intention of retrieving them anytime soon.
After all, they had just clashed head-on with that organization. Bringing those things back now would be far too risky.
Aside from the spiritual herbs, spiritual seeds, and the cultivation techniques and knowledge, Qi Ping didn’t even plan to bring the rest back to his territory. Instead, he’d have the swarm deliver the spoils directly when he went out to purchase divination spirit beasts, offloading all the risk onto the mysterious black market.
Whenever Qi Ping thought back to that organization that refined living beings into blood-food, it felt like a massive boulder pressing down on his heart.
When he’d finally wiped out that last batch of six thousand blood-food units, he’d clearly sensed the mournful cry and the joy that came from heaven and earth—and the boost in his own affinity with the natural world.
Now Qi Ping was absolutely certain: this organization was indeed seizing the very essence of creation by refining infants into blood-food, and they were inflicting enormous damage upon heaven and earth.
Under these circumstances, unless he could create his own world that transcended heaven and earth, there was absolutely no way he could escape this organization’s influence.
At least based on everything Qi Ping knew so far, even those immensely powerful secret realms and pocket dimensions still had to rely on the cultivation world’s heaven and earth to exist.
