Chapter 314 Shattering the Planet is Relatively Simple

The next level of Earth Immortal is one who refines Qi Radiance, the very Qi Radiance needed by Divine Warriors.

Aura is the essence of a planet. Aura comes from the universe and then breaks away from the universe. The "Hengsha" formed from aura is a true small world.

However, collecting airglow is extremely difficult.

According to the knowledge in the Fragrant Leaf Crown, collecting aura requires going beyond the Heavens, that is, entering space, and collecting aura from planets in space.

Space is not empty; it contains radiation from various cosmic phenomena. When immortals enter space, they must first expend their magical power to collect vital energy, and secondly, they must use their magical power to protect themselves from the radiation.

Being a third-class immortal is a completely unprofitable business. Not to mention improving one's own realm, one can't even break even. One is practically a human immortal for life.

Even for wealthy third-class immortals, the refining speed of purchasing the collected aura from other immortals is very slow, as their lifespan is simply not enough.

Instead of tediously refining qi and pursuing the path of an earth immortal, why not enjoy three thousand years?

Second-class immortals are better off; each time they collect resources, they have a small surplus, which they can sell to exchange for needed resources (weapons, Taoist techniques, elixirs, and various other treasures); or they can keep it for themselves.

Keeping them is possible, but only the best among the second-class immortals (including those with talent, wealth, and luck) can become earth immortals.

The first-class immortals are the true army.

If you honestly collect Qi Hui (vital energy), and as long as the quantity of Qi Hui is sufficient and the quality isn't as low as Ganges water mixed with cow dung, and you don't encounter any accidents along the way, becoming a terrestrial immortal at the end of your lifespan is basically no problem.

Needless to say, even the most immortal beings are beyond that.

The Fragrant Leaf Crown does not record the probability of a Supreme Immortal becoming an Earth Immortal. It only gives two examples of those who did not become Earth Immortals as negative examples to prove that nothing in the world is predetermined, and even a Third-Class Immortal should not give up easily!

Besides these two methods to become an Earth Immortal, there is another way: using magical artifacts (tools).

Yaochi recommended that Li Changzhou use the Honey Pot World, which is this type.

The magical treasures that can serve as the foundation of earth immortals were, in ancient times, the "nuclear weapons" of every sect and school, used to suppress fortune and deter each other.

Such magical artifacts can remain there for thousands of years, but once the "territory" where the immortal has been cultivated dies, the "territory" will collapse, and the magical artifact will disappear completely.

Li Changzhou had no burden. If he died, would it matter what happened to the Honey Pot World?

"The Dragon Palace would be fine too, wouldn't it?" he asked Yaochi.

“It is possible,” Yaochi pondered, “but the mere Dragon Palace is not worthy of my status.”

"...What would be worthy of your status?"

"I am the Queen Mother of the West, so naturally I want the Jade Pool, the Peach Tree of Immortality, the Heavenly Mountains, the Heavenly Pool, and so on. When I travel to other timelines in the future, you'll have to help me snatch them!" she laughed.

"So," Li Qianxia turned to look at Yang Qinglan, "Qinglan needs Gushou Mountain?"

"I'll use whatever's good." Yang Qinglan is not picky about food and has no sense of destiny.

"Hmm—, what should I use?" Li Qianxia rested her delicate face in her hands, lost in thought.

This is the new era, this is the player, who can travel to different eras and get what they need.

Only in this way—by drawing nourishment from history—can a "winner" who controls everything be born.

Not only history, but also the present (the boundless universe) and the future—only by winning all of this can one become a "winner".

"No matter what we use, Qi Hui is a necessity. Once we get back, we'll take over Earth." Yaochi said domineeringly.

Different planets produce airglow of varying quality and quantity.

Based on Li Changzhou's observations of Earth (the time he took a peek during the experiment to see if he could return to Earth), the quality is excellent, but the quantity is very small, enough to support only six human immortals—until they become celestial immortals, earth immortals need a continuous supply of vital energy, otherwise the world will gradually wither.

There are even fewer moons, at most one, and even that one can only be a third-class immortal.

The struggle for resources, the ever-present threat of Jupiter, and the complex environment of the value game all contribute to the feeling that "despite becoming immortals, their situation hasn't improved at all."

“Something has changed,” Yang Qinglan chuckled. “Before, everyone was the same, just a pawn. Now, chess players have emerged.”

"Are we chess players?" Li Qianxia asked with a smile, a hint of uncontrollable pride in her voice.

"Hmm~" Yaochi gave a knowing, teasing smile, "I was lucky enough not to be eliminated."

The four of them laughed at the same time.

Chess players are too exaggerated. What is Earth? Even if you include Earth's history, it's nothing in the universe.

But at least on their home planet Earth, they can decide on the mining rights for Qihui, and the four of them already have that much confidence.

The situation remains difficult, but it is gradually improving, and that is hope, which is more important than anything else.

"Keep up the good work, everyone," Li Changzhou said with a smile. "Don't underestimate anyone, and give it your all in the upcoming tasks."

"Are we really going to go all out?" Li Qianxia asked to confirm.

"Otherwise what?"

"Don't blame me if the planet breaks."

"If you can do it, then go ahead."

Seven days have passed, and the mission is entering its final stage.

"Just in case you've forgotten, let me remind you," Yang Qinglan said, looking at the two siblings, "our mission is to pull away the star."

"It's definitely easier to shatter a planet," Li Qianxia muttered.
