Many of the newly promoted Dao Venerables from the Miluo Dao Court had entered the Nine Stars Land and ventured into the Nine Extreme Treasure Star to seek treasures.
Su Yuan's consciousness was attached to his disciples, subordinates, and the various cultivators from the Miluo Dao Court, observing the changes within the Nine Extreme Treasure Star.
The changes within the Nine Extreme Treasure Star were immense. Under the transformation of a mysterious power, the land area of the Nine Extreme Treasure Star had expanded hundreds of times, and its interior had already formed its own independent space-time.
The environment had also undergone many changes. Some dangerous places made even Su Yuan feel a sense of danger, while some treasure sites were enough to make even Su Yuan's eyes gleam with desire.
"It's best not to use treasures from other Chaos realms to accelerate the growth of my Little Chaos. However, it can be enhanced using the Chaos Jade condensed by the True-Word Jade Dish. So, treasures are also extremely important to me!"
Su Yuan pondered silently in his heart.
"I can use my disciples, subordinates, and others within the Miluo Dao Court as my eyes, thereby finding more treasures."
Su Yuan continued his internal deliberation.
He could sense the treasures stored inside the Nine Extreme Treasure Star that others had offered as sacrifices, but he did not take action to collect them. This was because he did not know if those three existences would pay attention to those treasures. If his identity were accidentally exposed, the consequences would be unpredictable.
In contrast, the treasures that naturally appeared on the Nine Extreme Treasure Star were fair game for him to compete for.
"Anything with a quality surpassing a Ninth-order Fused Dao Treasure is worth me making a move." Su Yuan thought to himself.
He observed the situations of his disciples one by one and suddenly noticed Su Li's situation.
At this moment, Su Li had also entered the Nine Extreme Treasure Star.
Having mastered the Fortune Dao Principle, she held a significant advantage when it came to treasure-seeking activities.
Not long after entering the Nine Extreme Treasure Star, she had already managed to obtain four treasures, all without being detected by anyone else.
And now, she was guarding the fifth treasure she had encountered, nervously waiting for it to emerge.
Before her, an ancient zither was slowly rising.
On the surface of the zither, nine-colored flowing lights continuously swirled, each representing the existence of a Dao Principle. This was a Ninth-order Fused Dao Treasure!
"I've set up a concealment array. Others shouldn't be able to detect it, right?"
Su Li glanced at the array barrier she had set up, feeling it wasn't very secure.
Sure enough, her premonition came true.
She had only recently broken through to the Dao Venerable realm and wasn't very proficient with arrays at that level. Coupled with the overwhelmingly powerful aura of the Ninth-order Fused Dao Treasure, when the treasure had risen halfway, the barrier was shattered by its aura. Streams of profound light radiated out, illuminating an area spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years.
Instantly, many people noticed the situation here and began rushing towards the location.
"I'm done for!" Su Li sighed inwardly.
She took one last, longing look at the zither, then directly turned and left for elsewhere, not lingering at the spot any longer.
She was merely a First-Order Dao Venerable. Staying put meant she couldn't possibly defend the treasure. It was better to search for the next one. With her Fortune Dao Principle, finding another treasure wouldn't be difficult.
Not long after Su Li left.
A streak of light arrived at extreme speed, revealing the figure of a man.
"A damaged barrier?"
Dao Venerable Qirui swept a glance and understood the reason. He looked in the direction Su Li had departed, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth. "What good is luck? The most important thing in treasure hunting is strength. Without strength, finding a treasure is useless."
His voice echoed in the surrounding area.
The four Dao Venerables who arrived belatedly all had drastic changes in their expressions.
Dao Venerable Qirui looked at the four of them with a calm gaze.
From his body, a total of seven Dao Principles were released one after another. Among them, four Dao Principles were fused together, their aura shockingly powerful.
The expressions of the four changed again.
They also released their own Dao Principle Domains.
One had five Dao Principles, with three fused. Another had four Dao Principles, also with three fused. The remaining two were Third-Order Dao Venerables, all considerably weaker than Qirui.
"Do you wish to contend with me?" Qirui asked calmly.
The four exchanged glances, subtly forming an encirclement around Qirui.
"You are just one person. Do you dare to oppose all of us?" one of them said.
Qirui snorted coldly. "Seeking death!"
He flipped his hand and produced a feather fan, directly fanning it towards the speaker. All seven Dao Principles exerted force simultaneously, invoking a Daoist technique. A terrifying, bone-eroding hurricane force directly assaulted that person.
The one who had spoken hurriedly defended and rapidly retreated, but both his speed and defensive power were far inferior to Dao Venerable Qirui's.
In the span of a single breath, that Dao Venerable's physical skeleton was completely erased by the attack. Simultaneously, his conceptual-level skeleton was also erased.
Without the "skeleton" for support, his flesh, blood, and soul instantly collapsed, turning into dust and dissipating, returning to his own Dao Principle domain to be revived.
Left behind on the spot was a purple greatsword, which surprisingly was also a Three-fused Dao Treasure.
A smile appeared on Dao Venerable Qirui's face. He raised his hand in a beckoning gesture, and the war blade teleported into his grasp. After giving it a brief look, his cold gaze fell upon the remaining three.
The disparity was too great.
Without another word, the three immediately turned and fled.
Dao Venerable Qirui casually set up a barrier, blocking the treasure's radiance. Then, he plunged the war blade he had just obtained into the ground beneath him. It gradually faded and disappeared, transforming into a sacrificial offering to accelerate the treasure's emergence.
The ancient zither, which had been emerging at a snail's pace that might have taken decades, suddenly sped up. The time was compressed from decades to mere dozens of minutes.
Dao Venerable Qirui waited patiently. The moment the treasure was about to fully emerge.
Qirui immediately rushed towards the zither, reaching out to grab it, only to find his hand closing on empty air.
He looked up in astonishment, glancing around.
"Who?"
He stared intently at his surroundings, only to see that his barrier had, at some unknown time, developed a large hole.
Dao Venerable Qirui fell silent.
He suspected this hole was deliberately shown to him.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the indignation in his heart, turned, and left.
Someone who could seize the treasure without him noticing was far stronger than him. No amount of luck was useful here; his strength was insufficient to secure this treasure.
Elsewhere.
Su Yuan flipped his hand and looked at the zither in his grasp, nodding with satisfaction.
A Ninth-order Fused Dao Treasure was already a high grade, possessing considerable value.
However, this treasure was of little use staying in his hands.
"How should I convert it into value?"
Su Yuan originally converted treasures by using the Nine Extreme Treasure Star's sacrifice function to accelerate other treasures, but that path felt somewhat unsafe now. So, he needed to find another method.
Suddenly, Su Yuan thought of a crude method: setting up a black market on the spot.
Su Yuan manipulated his Twelfth-order Fused Dao Principles, condensing a World Pearl, and tossed it towards the sky of the Nine Extreme Treasure Star.
The Twelfth-order Fused Dao Principles formed a pseudo-Chaos Barrier, resisting the suppression of the Nine Extreme Treasure Star, allowing it to hover among the clouds of the star.
This World Pearl was extremely conspicuous. Anyone treasure hunting on the Nine Extreme Treasure Star could easily see it.
