I run a casino in the immortal realm.

"What's wrong? Getting discouraged already?"

Ouyang Tian raised the corner of his mouth, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "I heard that ruthless people who bravely withstand the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage have to endure for a hundred or two hundred years before their bones soften?"

"It's not about being discouraged."

Zheng Yifei scratched his head and cursed fiercely, "I'm not afraid of being worn down, I'm afraid of things going wrong if I drag this out! Before I kill that old fox Qin Cang, even a year or two feels like a century. You want me to watch you fly away and stay here to obediently guard the cave for another five hundred years?"

"There is a way to break down the barriers."

Ouyang Tian finally revealed the true core: "You probably don't know, but besides cultivating this Fierce Blade Demon Bone, the thing I've spent the most effort on in my life is actually the Dao of Arrays."

"Throughout the entire Southern Wilderness, when it comes to array formations, if I say I'm second, no living person dares to challenge me for first place. I am a fifth-tier array master."

Zheng Yifei's eyes lit up instantly: "You mean... a teleportation array?"

"Yes, a transcontinental ultra-long-distance bidirectional traction reverse transmission array."

Ouyang Tian's words carried a heavy weight: "My plan is to personally set up a giant mother array base on this ancient fault at the bottom of the forbidden area behind the Heavenly Demon Sect before I leave."

Afterwards, I single-handedly cut through obstacles and crossed the endless sea to the Eastern Divine Continent. Once I found a secluded and secure place there to establish myself, I gathered spiritual materials and constructed a secondary array for support.

Ouyang Tian slammed his palm on the table: "At that time, the Yin and Yang laws will resonate, and the chains of heaven and earth will bridge the gap! You won't need to waste a single bit of your physical bodies to cross the sea. The core members of the Heavenly Demon Sect and you will fight your way into the mother formation. In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, I can move you all alive from the distant sea, millions of miles away, to the Eastern Divine Continent!"

"Can you really handle it?"

Zheng Yifei suddenly stood up, his eyes glistening with a slight bloodshot light due to excitement.

"It's manageable, but also not easy to manage."

Ouyang Tian's supreme arrogance was tinged with bitterness: "To set up that kind of ancient intercontinental array that overturns heaven and earth and breaks through the magnetic dead zone, not only did I need the array diagram that I extracted from the immortal scrolls during my thirty years of seclusion, but it also required an incomparable money-devouring pool."

Ouyang Tian pulled his hand back and growled, "Just constructing those 16,800 basic array nodes will require 5 billion low-grade spirit stones."

As for the initial driving force that serves as the source of the array and forcibly pierces through the tens of thousands of layers of chaotic law magnetic field in the endless sea, at the very least, I'll say it again, it will consume the equivalent of one billion low-grade spirit stones of purity reserves!

"If we want insurance to ensure your safe and unharmed transport without you being hanged halfway there, it might even require two billion!"

The stone chamber fell into a deathly silence.

Five billion is just the starting point?

Two billion in one shipment?

Even though the Heavenly Demon Sect has a vast fortune, the daily expenses, rewards, and array maintenance for its tens of thousands of disciples are all dwindling daily. If this massive amount of life-saving capital were used to build a teleportation array with no end in sight, the sect would starve to death even before the righteous path crossed the border.

Even Ye Tianqiong dared not make the decision to gamble with the entire sect's lifeblood.

Just as Ouyang Tian was about to show a look of shock and anger, a hearty laugh that almost made the dust on the ceiling fall down echoed from the stone chamber.

"Hahaha! That's it?"

Zheng Yifei's face showed a mixture of elation and disdain: "Sect Master, if you asked me to grab a handful of Thunder God's belt from the Thunder Pool, I wouldn't be confident, but you're talking to me about 'spirit stones,' that's no big deal! Problems that can be solved with spirit stones aren't problems at all."

"Quite the boast."

"I told you, this is a big job, I'll take it!"

Zheng Yifei slammed his large hand heavily on his strong, iron-boned chest: "From the very first day I returned to Tianmo City, of the total monthly revenue of Xiaoyao Palace, my share of thirty percent—not a single spirit stone—will be deposited into the secret room of this intercontinental project! It's exclusively for you to purchase building materials!"

"The Guangxiao Palace can't even fill such a big hole, let alone have enough time to pump water month after month."

"Not enough? Then let's go do something bigger!"

Zheng Yifei gritted his teeth, licking his thin lips, his eyes crinkling with a fierce and radiant smile: "Didn't the Xuantian Sect get jealous of our Xiaoyao Palace's money-making scheme a while ago and set up a mirage-like super gambling den in the Xuantian Market? That's my gold mine!"

"The Heavenly Demon Sect doesn't need to send a single soldier! Once I'm ready, I'll lead a few old buddies across the border."

I'm going to smash the gambling table of that Xuan Tian Sect's powerful family with all the chips I have! I'll win all the money from their mirage!

They can see through people's hearts, are extremely greedy like a mad dog, and are also cunning and treacherous!

Ouyang Tian's gray robe fluttered as he rose, and his aura suddenly trembled in the cold stone chamber, creating wisps of ethereal, frost-like energy.

"What a clever way to build your own fortune by stepping on others' bones! Kid, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Ouyang Tian straightened his posture, his heroic spirit rising: "Then you can do whatever you want in the Southern Wilderness. Although I can't directly attack the Xuan Tian Sect, I can still make sure you're not bullied!"

"Alright, with the sect leader's words, I can rest assured."

Zheng Yifei was overjoyed. With this Nascent Soul expert as his protector, he could roam freely throughout the Southern Wilderness. Qin Cang wouldn't dare to touch a hair on his head.

Half an hour later.

Three beams of spiritual light swooped down, landing anxiously outside the simple training ground.

When Ye Tianqiong and the other two elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect, who were shrouded in murderous aura and had not appeared in the world for a long time, stumbled into the stone cave, their bodies still tense.

They were eager to shout and wail at the newly born Demon God Grand Master, reporting the devastating military situation of how Qin Cang had acted like a beast, taking advantage of their vulnerability to tear their territory to shreds.

"Sect Master! That spineless dog Qin Cang! While you were breaking through, he not only trampled the Sunset Swamp, but also turned Blood Soul Valley into a wasteland..."

Ye Tianqiong knelt on one knee, his teeth clenched so tightly they seemed to grind to powder. "I beg the Sect Master to unleash your killing might and lead the brothers to crush Qingfeng Cliff! Wash away the bloody shame of my evil path!"

The elder beside him was also furious, his entire body turning black with rage: "Sect Master, that Qin Cang is going too far!"

"Shut up."

Ouyang Tian only uttered two words.

Without any roar or killing intent, these words, imbued with divine rules, instantly smoothed over the ferocious rage emanating from several late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, as if it were frost.

"Now that I have reached the Nascent Soul stage, I should follow the will of Heaven and the law of cause and effect. How can I create such karmic debts?"

"this……"

The elders were all stunned, as if they had fallen into the dead of winter.

"But the score is not unsettling. From this moment forward, I resign from my position as sect leader. With the entire sect united as one, tonight I declare myself the seventy-sixth Supreme Sect Leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect! Anyone who defies the Heavenly Firmament is an accomplice to my rebellion!"

Ye Tianqiong was stunned on the stone slab, and couldn't even bother to refuse.

"Tianqiong! After you take over, you don't need to mobilize troops to fight on the front lines against the Asura. You only need to do one enormous task: I will personally supervise the Array Dao Department! The highest treasury of the Kaitian Demon Sect will be filled with elite craftsmen to help me build a spatial spirit-transferring array in the back mountain!"

"third!"

Ouyang Tian pushed Zheng Yifei forward: "From tonight onwards, everything that the Xuantian Sect has looted will be handed over to him to retrieve! All intelligence on spies from the Tianmo Sect who have infiltrated the righteous path will be subject to Zheng Yifei's orders without question!"

The elders were stunned and looked at each other in disbelief.

Instead of the sect leader stepping forward to wreak havoc, he instead issued a decree to back down and even let an outsider who wasn't a disciple of the sect avenge the Heavenly Demon Sect. Isn't that too childish?
