Supreme Warrior in the City-Chapter 2391: Long Qiu’s Proposal

Su Yang led the three guys and Long Qiu, quickly leaving this Royal City. Then, Su Yang did not go far, but instead circled around this Dynasty, came to the other side of the Dynasty, and killed a Saint King, robbing the Saint King’s stash.

After that, Su Yang took them away from this Dynasty and moved to a place beyond two Dynasties.

At this place, there was no need to worry about the Saint Emperor of the previous Dynasty coming to hunt him down for the time being.

Su Yang took out the Treasure Houses of those two Saint Kings, divided some Spiritual Sources among the three Crystal Skulls, and also gave a few Spiritual Sources to Long Qiu. The rest, Su Yang absorbed entirely by himself.

The stash of the two Saint Kings was not much, and as Su Yang’s power increased, his speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy also increased. It took Su Yang less than half a year to absorb all of the stash from these two Saint Kings.

Feeling the change in his own power, Su Yang was filled with joy. According to the current situation, the only issue affecting his promotion to the Saint Emperor Realm was the problem of Spiritual Sources.

If he could have enough Spiritual Sources, Su Yang could absolutely advance to the Saint Emperor Realm within a hundred years.

But the problem is, getting enough Spiritual Sources is not an easy matter.

Like this time killing the Saint King of the Demon Beast Clan, it’s not so simple. Although his power makes killing a Saint King quite easy. The problem is, these Saint Kings, all have Saint Emperors backing them.

Su Yang can kill a few Saint Kings without issue, but if he kills too many, this matter will escalate. By then, a Saint Emperor might really come to hunt him, and it might not be just one Saint Emperor. In such a scenario, how can one continue cultivation?

Moreover, killing Saint Kings, looting Spiritual Sources, and then cultivating, invisibly delays a lot of time and increases the risk factor significantly, which is not the most suitable method of cultivation.

If only he could obtain some Spiritual Sources without all this hassle, that would be great.

"Long Qiu?" Su Yang turned to Long Qiu, who was cultivating on the side, "Do you know how the Demon Beast Clan’s Spiritual Sources are obtained?"

"I’ve heard some about this when I was in that Demon Beast Dynasty before." Long Qiu said, "The origin of Spiritual Sources has two types. The first type is the center of the world, where the Guardian God resides—the Guardian Land. There is a Spiritual Source Mine there that can produce Spiritual Sources continuously. The second type is some Human Clan planets; when Demon Beasts devour a Human Clan planet, they can coagulate that planet into Spiritual Sources. Of course, the first type can no longer be used now, as the Guardian God has completely sealed off the Guardian Land, and the Demon Beast Clan simply can’t get in. So now, the Demon Beast Clan can only use the second method, devouring Human Clan planets to create Spiritual Sources!"

Su Yang furrowed his eyebrows; he couldn’t use either of these methods. He could not devour Human Clan planets, and as for going to the Guardian Land, that would be sending himself to death.

"Is there no other way?" Su Yang asked curiously.

Long Qiu shook his head, "There are no other ways; the origins I’ve heard of are only these two. And indeed, these seem to be the only two ways to obtain Spiritual Sources!"

Su Yang was helpless; this meant there was basically no chance for him to obtain Spiritual Sources on his own.

No wonder the Demon Beast Clan holds Spiritual Sources in such high regard; since they’re so rare, they naturally treasure them greatly.

"Does this mean I have to keep robbing Spiritual Sources like this?" Su Yang said with a helpless expression; doing this is really too slow.

"Well..." Long Qiu thought for a while, suddenly saying, "Boss, if you want to acquire a lot of Spiritual Sources, there is indeed one method."

"What method?" Su Yang immediately asked.

Long Qiu took a deep breath, saying, "Robbing Saint Emperors!"

"Damn!" Before Su Yang could speak, the Second City Lord directly cursed, "Are you nuts? Robbing Saint Emperors? If we could take on a Saint Emperor, would we need to sneak around like this to cultivate? I say, Long Qiu, have you been cultivating the dementia technique all these years? You’re spouting nonsense!"

Su Yang also furrowed his brow; with his current strength, paired with the Heaven-Slaying Blade, he could handle an ordinary Saint Emperor. But the real issue is how to ensure others don’t find out about this matter; that’s the trickiest part.

Once this matter is exposed, Su Yang himself would undeniably be revealed. By then, it might lead to the discovery of the Nine Realms, which could also suffer as a result.

In a way, Su Yang now stands on thin ice, and he dares not undertake such a risky venture; the Nine Realms can’t withstand such turmoil.

Long Qiu glanced at the Second City Lord, "You’re talking nonsense; of course, I know we can’t fight a Saint Emperor, but I never said to fight a Saint Emperor!"

"Oh?" Su Yang suddenly grew interested, "Then what do you mean?"

"Although Saint Emperors are powerful, they aren’t constantly in the Imperial City." Long Qiu said, "If we can seize the chance when a Saint Emperor isn’t in the Imperial City to rob the Treasure House there, wouldn’t we be able to obtain many Spiritual Sources?"

"That doesn’t even count as a method!" the Second City Lord immediately retorted, "Even if a Saint Emperor isn’t in the Imperial City, they won’t be very far away. With the strength of a Saint Emperor, they can tear through space and return at any time. Moreover, the Treasure Houses of Saint Kings have Saint King-level restrictions. The Saint Emperor’s Treasure House would surely have Saint Emperor-level restrictions; imagine how dangerous that would be? At that time, even if Su Yang finds the Saint Emperor’s Treasure House, he would probably encounter restrictions left by the Saint Emperor, which wouldn’t be much different from having the Saint Emperor present. Your method is a fool’s errand!"

"Not necessarily!" Long Qiu looked at Su Yang, "Boss, the Demon Beast Clan and the Guardian God have been in quite a conflict recently. Several Saint Emperors were injured and feared being ambushed by enemies, so they went to recuperate at the Great Saint Emperor’s place, not in their own Imperial City. Given their power, it’s not that quick for them to get back from the Great Saint Emperor’s to their own Imperial City. As long as we can grab the Treasure House before they return, this matter will be settled. Speaking of the restrictions, to be honest, Boss, the Saint Emperor’s restrictions are indeed formidable. But the problem is, do they impact you? Your bones can certainly withstand the attacks from a Saint Emperor; those restrictions can’t hold you back. It’s said that fortune is found amid danger, and such opportunities are rare. Boss, I suggest you consider it!"

Su Yang furrowed his brow, unable to deny that Long Qiu’s proposal was indeed decent.

Previously, he hadn’t even thought about targeting Saint Emperors, as he dared not provoke them yet.

But now thinking about it, it’s true. With several Saint Emperors coincidentally absent, seizing the opportunity to raid their Treasure Houses seems ideal.
