“Senior warrior, I’ll have to trouble you to help me dig out these Origin Stones,” Xue Ying transmitted this message into the green-gray wristband via spirit energy. “I have already checked the area; there are a total of 1.45 million kilograms of Origin Stones within this mine. Digging out 0.9 million kilograms and leaving behind the remaining 0.55 million kilogram should be fine! Remember not to dig out too much or this major Transcendent World might crumble apart. It would take 30,000 years for another one to form in its place, during which my Xia clan would not be able to dig out any more stones!”

“Rest assured, I understand.” the green-gray wristband transmitted back this through a wave.

“I’m leaving it to you.”

With a wave of his hand, the green-gray wristband on Xue Ying’s arm was thrown out of the Mirage and into reality.

At the same time, the green-gray wristband turned into a huge stream of green-gray particles. Hu, hu, hu~ The particles permeated into the Origin Stone mine, easily destroying the junk and extracting the Origin Stones within.

“I’ll have to be careful when extracting the Origin Stones. I need approximately half an hour.” The green-gray streamer emitted a deep voice. “Oh, right. Xue Ying, do you plan on telling the Xia Clan about this major Transcendent World?”

“I’ll let Palace Head Chen know in the near future,” replied Xue Ying. “By the time I have a method to find those Demon Generals, I’ll certainly inform him! After all, I will be needing his assistance in order to kill the generals.”

He would first find the Demon Generals, then surround and kill them!

Before surrounding them, however, he would have to inform Palace Head Chen so he could assign a group of Demigods.

Thus…

Palace Head Chen was the most important person in this matter. Xue Ying did not feel that there was a need to hide anything from him. As for this major Transcendent World? Although, it might be considered a great treasure trove by the average Sky Realm Transcendents or Saints, but to Xue Ying, well… it might have been a treasure trove as well, but after digging out the Origin Stones, it had lost its value.

One had to leave behind more than 500,000 kilograms of Origin Stones as that was the source to the major Transcendent World.

If one dug them out to the point where there were less than 500,000 kilograms of Origin Stones, the major Transcendent World would lose its stability, crumble apart, and explode! A new major Transcendent World would only grow and emerge… 30,000 years later. The Xia Clan would not be able to dig out any stones within this period of time.

On the other hand, if 500,000 kilograms of Origin Stones were left behind, the major Transcendent World would only need 3000 years to recover!

As such—

One always had to leave behind a small part of the stones instead of digging them all out. Then, the next generation of Demigods could come and dig more out! Of course, to do that, they first had to pass through the obstacles of the world, in the form of the native Demigods.

Back then, Elder Lei Zhen had most likely wanted to come and dig out the stones after becoming a Demigod. Xue Ying shook his head inwardly. Ancestor Black Wind hadn’t really careed about this matter, but he had hidden his treasures inside this major Transcendent World and hadn’t wanted them to be found, so he had kept this world to him.

In a while, he would be taking the treasures left behind by Ancestor Black Wind.

Then it did not matter much if this major Transcendent World was revealed!

A single major Transcendent World has about 1.5 million kilograms of Origin Stones! Adding on the large amount of minor Transcendent Worlds… I estimate that there should not be more than 25 million kilograms of Origin Stones in total! Even reaching an amount of 20 million kilograms would be a fortunate matter!

That’s the total amount.

Several of the major Transcendent worlds such as the Infernal Emperor’s Demonic Fire World and the Beast Clan’s Oceanic Forest World could not be occupied by the Xia Clan. Other worlds have native Demigods defending them, and the Beast Clan is also trying to snatch them!

Xue Ying shook his head.

In 3000 years, the Xia clan could dig out 10 million kilograms of Origin Stones at the very most. Even that amount would warrant thanking the heavens.

Sky Realm Transcendents, Saints, and Demigods all wished for those stones to be theirs! For example, for Mountain Lord He and Si Kong Yang who had both condensed Deity Hearts, the amount of Origin Stones they needed to become Demigods would be even greater! Thus, in the entire Xia Clan… the matter of Origin Stones was truly problematic! Previously, Palace Head Chen had been very afraid that Xue Ying might want to exchange for one million kilograms of Origin Stones in one go. One had to know that currently, the Xia Clan had a grand total of just 1.5 million kilograms of Origin Stones at their disposal. It truly was a limited resource!

How the heart of Palace Head Chen had ached over this matter!

Even so, due to his great efforts and potential, Palace Head Chen had still been willing to let Xue Ying exchange for them.

Xue Ying understood that being the Palace Head was not an easy job and thus did not request it. Instead, he came to dig them out himself!
