Chapter 105 Taking Over the Northern Region: An Idea! (First Update, Seeking First Subscription!)
The northern region is boundless and vast, rich in mineral resources, and is famous throughout the world.

But looking around, it was completely different from what I had imagined. There were no splendid flowers, no bustling crowds, no vibrant plants and trees. The land was desolate, with red soil and reddish-brown rocks, a scene of bleakness and desolation.

The boundless land is extremely empty, without any sign of life, only a few bare rocky mountains dotting the horizon.

What brought it success also brought it down. The rich mineral veins underground seemed to have drained the life essence and spiritual energy of this land, leaving even oases scarce.

"Please come to my holy city." The Azure Dragon King led Yang An and the others into the Northern Region and extended an invitation.

This barren land is utterly devoid of life, deserted and lifeless, unsuitable as a base.

“Then I’ll go with you for now.” Yang An nodded, gazing thoughtfully at the almost desolate land of the Northern Region. His life-threatening realm made him very sensitive to changes in the world. This land was rich in vital energy, but most of it was buried underground.

Perhaps because of the ancient tribe's slumber, it still carries an ancient aura, ancient and desolate.

"The veins, rich in essence and forming Originium, are actually quite small. They haven't been settled long enough. The more they are mined, the more the essence dissipates, leaving the land barren."

Yang An pondered the significance of this matter to him.

Originium is actually quite similar to Earth's oil. Even if the environment allows, it still takes a long time for Originium to truly condense into a solid form. After being excavated in mythology, the Primordial Era, and the Desolate Era, there are not many Originium left in the Northern Region.

"Ancient emperors could refine the essence of heaven and earth to condense divine sources. Can I do it too? Condensing source stones a little less is also possible! The Hell Furnace is not a problem!" Yang An thought seriously. With the depletion of source, it would be difficult to gather ten billion catties of source stones. Even plundering the holy lands and aristocratic families would be a challenge, and he would become an enemy of the world.

He wasn't afraid of that, but he was worried that if taking five lives was this troublesome, what about taking seven, eight, or nine lives, or even breaking through to the legendary realm?

Plunder is not a solution in the long run!

He wants to become a builder, which is also the legacy of the gods. Simply plundering and destroying is the work of demons and hellish devils!
Yang An did not take it.

He conceived the idea of ​​gathering the scattered earth essence of the Northern Region and using the formation that the Saint King used to condense spirit stones to see if he could condense source stones. If he succeeded, he would have a treasure trove.

They can obtain Originium continuously, making them self-sufficient and more than enough for their own cultivation.

"It's not impossible. There are many ways to do it in the entire universe of Shrouding the Heavens. The Origin Book has secret methods, not to mention the ancient emperors. There are also things like the Divine Silkworm that eats Origin and spits out Divine Origin, and the Ancient Divine Insect that can condense Origin Essence!"

"And in the Holy King Great World, there are countless methods, including array formations for condensing spirit stones! They can even extract immortal energy from the Immortal Realm to condense immortal stones!"

Yang An needs to think this through carefully; this is a very important question that will determine the smoothness of his future cultivation path.

It's unacceptable to live off one's savings.

"Fellow Daoist Yang An, please!" The Azure Dragon King led the way, arriving at the Holy City of the Demon Clan.

Peacock King and Crow Taoist tore through the void, and Yang An and Yan Ruyu walked in the center of the crowd. One was a peerless martial artist, and the other was as beautiful as jade. What a wonderful couple they were, like celestial goddesses descended from the heavens.

"Greetings to the Successor of the Gods, the Supreme Ruler!"

The Azure Dragon King's subordinates had already received the news and were very solemn. They opened the city gates to welcome him with great pomp and circumstance. Countless demon race citizens and descendants of great bandits from the Northern Region came and were deeply moved by the sight.

"Supreme Ruler! When will I ever have such a grand display? I'd be content even in death," Tu Fei said enviously, gazing longingly into the distance.

He is the grandson of Tu Tian, ​​the seventh-ranked of the Thirteen Great Bandits of the Northern Region. Tu Tian possessed half of the Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Devouring Demon Jar, and held an extremely high position in the Northern Region, as did Tu Tian.

"I'm telling you, you can only dream about it," Li Heishui said bluntly. A group of bandit leaders gathered together was never a good thing.

However, they are now coming to pay their respects to Yang An at the request of their elders. If the young people greet this ruler who is famous throughout the Eastern Wilderness, they will have room to maneuver.

"Hang them all up and give them a good beating." Upon arriving at the main hall, facing the worship of many descendants of the great bandits, Yang An said leisurely.

"What?!" Tu Fei and the others were stunned.

"Why!"

"There's no reason why, I just feel a bit annoyed by your shifty eyes." Yang An's words made the bandits break out in a cold sweat.

Before he could speak, the Azure Dragon King grabbed him, hung him in the air, and gave him a good beating. After beating him, the Azure Dragon King said with a serious expression, "Why don't you thank Fellow Daoist Yang An for his kindness?"

"You younger generation definitely need to be supervised!"

"I...I...I!" Li Heishui howled, and finally, seeing the imposing gaze of the Azure Dragon King, he blurted out, "I fucked myself!"

The bandits' sons suffered a terrible lesson and both respected and feared Yang An. Although they were young, the pressure from him was immense, as if he were a god looking down on the world.

Yan Ruyu burst out laughing, her beauty radiant. These bandit youths were hilarious.

"Alright, put them down." Yang An chuckled. He had a decent impression of these bandit disciples from the original story, but he still felt a bit itchy to fight them.

That's incredibly heartless.

Especially Duan De, Hei Huang, and Long Ma.

Yang An began to miss the fat Taoist priest. Last time, he had only robbed him a little and hadn't even laid a hand on him. If he had given him a good beating, he would have felt much better and much happier.

As for saying there's no enmity between them...

That would be a disservice to Yang An's identity. He is the descendant of the gods, who descended to earth to save all living beings. It's already quite good that he doesn't eat beef. They should be happy.

Just like Yang An's unwavering will on Sacred Ruins Earth, he could kill whoever he wanted, do whatever he wanted, act as he pleased, follow his heart, and do whatever he pleased!
Otherwise, what use would he have all that strength?

"On behalf of the old scumbag, the number one bandit of the Northern Region, I present this gift: 200,000 catties of Origin Stones!"

"On behalf of Tu Tian, ​​the seventh greatest bandit of the Northern Region, I present this gift: 100,000 catties of Origin Stones!"

"On behalf of Jiang Yi, the ninth greatest bandit of the Northern Region, I present this gift: 80,000 catties of Origin Stones!"

……

Some of the bandit youths who came here were quite unruly in other places, but now they were very obedient and compliant, like little lambs. After being beaten up, they still obediently offered gifts.

The Azure Dragon King opened his mouth and laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist Yang An, and also Old Peacock and Crow Daoist, let's drink until we're drunk tonight!"

He also presented a generous gift, exactly 120,000 catties of source stones.

What Yang An seeks upon arriving in the Northern Region is almost never explicitly stated. Although it is unknown how much Yang An actually needs, sending him resources is certainly the right thing to do.

"Good!" Yang An smiled faintly, chatting and laughing with the Azure Dragon King amidst the envious and admiring gazes of the bandit disciples, his status completely superior to everyone else present.

"Fellow Daoist Yang An is so generous!" The Azure Dragon King clapped his hands, and countless female demons came to the banquet, which was filled with a dazzling array of spiritual fruits and delicacies. Everyone then took their seats and began to discuss their next move.
