My Sword Intent Can Be Infinitely Improved - Chapter 533: The Church of Flames

Three days later.

After this period of development, the territory occupied by the Great Xia immortal sect in the Origin Sea had also expanded. However, up until now, this expansion seemed to have reached its limit. If they wanted to continue expanding, they had to break through the current obstacles. However, with the current strength of the disciples of the Great Xia immortal sect, it was impossible to break through the obstacles.

Currently, the disciples of the Great Xia immortal sect occupied 15 small-scale mineral veins and three medium-scale mineral veins. This territory could already be considered relatively large.

However, his expansion had reached its limit because he had already occupied all the small and medium-sized mineral veins under the sea of the Giant Turtle Sea. There were only three large mineral veins left that he had not occupied.

If he wanted to obtain more mineral veins, he could only expand outwards.

However, if he expanded outwards, the surrounding sea area was not like the Giant Turtle Sea Area. The island masters of the surrounding sea areas had cleaned up the demon beasts under the sea and occupied those mineral veins as part of their territory. It was only because the Giant Turtle Island Master was more cowardly that he did not go underwater to clear the demon beasts that Su Yang could do it.

This led to a problem. If Su Yang expanded to occupy more mineral veins, it would be equivalent to snatching other people’s territory. This would return to the original direction, and it would be no different from occupying other islands.

If he occupied other islands, there would be conflicts and a war would break out. Now, Su Yang would not be able to gain an advantage if he fought head-on with these island masters unless his main body came over. However, his main body did not want to come over, so the expansion of the Great Xia Immortal Ancestor temporarily fell into a bottleneck. If he wanted to break through this bottleneck, he had to wait for Su Yangs strength to increase.

In the end, Su Yang decided to endure it for the time being. He would discuss the matter of continuing to expand after his strength increased. Currently, he had occupied fifteen small mines and three medium-sized mines, which was enough. In addition to five small islands and one medium-sized island, he could bring him about five trillion golden wills of all living beings every month.

If he could occupy a large-scale mineral vein, his gains would be even greater.

This was because a large-scale mineral vein could produce 100,000 Origin Stones every month. According to the value of one hundred million golden Will of All Beings, a large-scale mineral vein could provide him with 10 trillion golden Will of All Beings every month.

This harvest could be said to be very tempting, and it also made Su Yang very tempted. However, Su Yang was not blinded by greed and forcefully suppressed this impulse. He could not be so rash.

At any time, greed and desire would push people into the abyss. Only by calming down and thinking could he make the right choice. He was indeed in a hurry to increase his strength, but he was not in such a hurry.

From the current battle between the undying and the chaos cultivators, the situation was still relatively stable.

He still had plenty of time to improve his strength.

Moreover, he had also prepared a large number of escape routes for himself. Even if the situation really worsened, his life would definitely be guaranteed. There would not be a sudden death.

Other than these circumstances, there was another reason why he decided not to rush forward. There were new changes in the second foothold.

The second stronghold in the Origin World was the Machine Kingdom.

The disciples in charge of exploration in the Machinery Kingdom had already gone through the Machinery Kingdom to some resource areas that were to be developed.

Hui Kong was in charge of leading the exploration and development of this stronghold.

Now, they were preparing to use the Machinery Kingdom’s spaceship to head to a place called Resource Area 77 for development and exploration.

Resource Area No. 77 was a Great Dao Realm resource area. The Fey beasts there were all at the Great Dao Realm cultivation level. There might be hidden Chaos Mirror Fey beasts, but there were very few of them. There were more Fey beasts in this resource area that was waiting to be developed, but there were also large amounts of Origin Stone mines. As long as one had the strength, they could take it down and occupy it as their territory.

Of course, there was a price to pay for entering such a resource area. It was impossible for one to enter such a resource area for free.

It had to be known that these resource zones were discovered by the Machine

Nation, and they had gone to the resource zones through the means of the Machine Nation. As pioneers, they could obtain resources, but at the same time, they had to hand over a sum of resources to the Machine Nation.

The rough plan was to split the profits 50 – 50. As the pioneers, they would be responsible for clearing the demon beasts. They would get 50% of the profits from the mineral vein, and the other 50% would be handed over to the Machine Nation.

In Su Yangs opinion, the protection fee was similar to the situation on the Giant Turtle Island, but this was normal. The higher-ups had always obtained large amounts of resources from the lower-ups without bloodshed. The way to harvest large amounts of resources was never through war, but by harvesting leeks, or by making the people below willingly hand over the resources.

Perhaps he could obtain a large amount of resources by destroying that developed force, but what about in the future?

Who would continue to mine and expand the territory? This kind of one-time deal was not worth it for any major force.

Compared to one-time transactions, they had always exploited the resources one level at a time. When a large amount of resources gathered bit by bit, even if there was only a small portion at the beginning, it would gradually accumulate into a large amount of resources that could satisfy large factions..
