Chapter 438: So Broke!

Sixth Heaven.

Ascension Pool!

Lu Ye had just arrived at the Ascension Pool when he instantly opened his eyes.

Someone!

Lu Ye was over the moon!

Ahem, calm down a bit; I was a Celestial Lord in my past life, so how could I bend over for a mere five pecks of rice?

Besides, even if there were no enemies around, I knew about some hidden treasures, and I’d still make a fortune in the end.

Lu Ye got up from the Ascension Pool, his robes instantly drying out.

His aura was also skyrocketing, and the peak of the Imperishable Realm began to break through at that moment.

The Sixth Heaven only had four realms: Longevity Realm, Nine Extremities Realm, Unique Realm, and Void Realm.

The Longevity Realm allowed cultivators to greatly extend their lifespans, lasting for ages.

Now Lu Ye had broken into this realm, with abundant vitality spreading through him, making him feel extremely comfortable.

Lu Ye didn’t pay much attention to it but instead looked up at the crowd.

Youngsters!

Many young people, some youths, some adolescents, both male and female, a mix of demons and daoists, all sorts of them.

They didn’t display killing intent; rather, they were full of curiosity, all sizing up Lu Ye.

So many young people!

Lu Ye’s first thought was, what if I kidnapped all these young folks and demanded a ransom? Wouldn’t that make me rich?

I’m serious; I was tempted.

“Lu Ye?”

A young man in white robes with gold embroidery, bright red lips, and white teeth asked.

Lu Ye was hovering, looking down at the group without reservation.

“What do you want?”

“We know you are the reincarnation of a Celestial Lord. But even as a reincarnation, some of us aren’t too convinced about your ranking atop the Eternal Genius Ranking. So we’d like to challenge you for guidance; what do you think?” said Meng Xuan, a scholar from the Dao Academy, loudly.

“Are you saying everyone here is unconvinced by me?” Lu Ye’s mind raced.

This bunch of youngsters was surrounded by powerful figures in the distance, presumably protecting these young geniuses’ safety.

The Fourth Heaven was land.

The Fifth Heaven was the starry sky.

And what about the Sixth Heaven?

Simple: families!

Not just families, but various forces.

These forces weren’t the small fry types; each one existed before the formation of the Nine Heavens.

Almost every force had ancestors who were once great figures.

In fact, many forces even had living Great Emperors and Celestial Lords!

Just like the Jiang Family, just like the Eternal Order Sect.

There were many Jiang Families, many Eternal Order Sects here.

A lot of the young people nodded; indeed, many felt strongly against Lu Ye.

Everyone present were Tianjiao; they believed that if they had the same opportunity Lu Ye had to climb from the First Heaven, they too could reach his level.

Celestial Lord techniques, Great Emperor techniques—they had them too!

Top-tier techniques, top-tier divine abilities, they had those as well.

They were only here for a spar, not a life-or-death battle. After all, they were all around the same age, under a thousand years old—perfectly normal for peers to spar, right?

“So, what do you all want?” Lu Ye asked with a smile.

This vibrant group of young folks caught Lu Ye’s eye; he couldn’t help but sigh at their fighting spirit.

But another way to look at it was that these people were basically walking resources.

Too bad the flames in his Small World weren’t out yet; otherwise, he could’ve just taken this bunch away and wondered how much they’d be worth!

Without the Small World, capturing these people and getting away would be incredibly troublesome.

Lu Ye already had a plan in mind.

“I challenge you!” someone shouted loudly.

“Yes, that’s right! We’re all about the same age; do you dare to accept the challenge?”

“As a former Celestial Lord, you should know that challenges are rampant in the Sixth Heaven. This battle doesn’t involve personal grudges, just a contest between peers. What say you?”

“You’re mistaken, Fellow Daoist; Lu Ye considers himself invincible. How could he not accept such a challenge?”

“A fair fight, Lu Ye! If you can defeat us, we’ll naturally accept it wholeheartedly.”

The crowd chimed in all at once.

“Alright, I understand what you’re getting at.”

Sigh… it’s just that I’m broke!

Otherwise, I would’ve long vanished without a trace.

“Honestly, I didn’t want to fight you because your challenge seems like a joke to me.”

One remark, and the sarcasm was at an all-time high.

“What do you mean by that?” someone shouted in anger.

“I mean, you’re all too weak!”

“My time is precious, and fighting you won’t yield any improvement for me, so why waste time?” Lu Ye said, his tone calm yet filled with disdain.

“Such arrogance! You really underestimate us!”

“Exactly! You’ve just ascended to the Sixth Heaven, and at your age, you’re only at the Longevity Realm. I’m just as old as you, and I’ve already reached the Nine Extremities Realm. What makes you think you’re my match?”

Lu Ye couldn’t help but chuckle; what age was he even? Not even five hundred yet, and yet he was somehow labeled as old!

Watching the fiery crowd, Lu Ye was quite satisfied; this was the effect he wanted.

These youngsters had been protected by their families for so long, and even though many years had passed since their birth, aside from closed-door cultivation, their experiences were pretty much akin to someone in their twenties.

Some had likely been in their families so long they didn’t even have the mindset of someone in their twenties!

“Fine, fine; I won’t waste time with you. Instead of chatting, I might as well go earn some Source Stones. Farewell!”

Lu Ye’s figure suddenly became ethereal.

“Wait!”

“Don’t go!”

Some even tried to reach out and stop him, but Lu Ye’s cold gaze shot at those trying to act, making them feel as though they were being watched by a terrifying chaos beast. In the next moment, their lives could be at risk.

“Hold on, we can offer you Source Stones!”

One young man suddenly shouted.

The now-transparent Lu Ye paused.

“What did you say?” Lu Ye asked.

The young master of the Sky-Piercing Money House, Qian Shouxin, was beaming with confidence.

Not to mention, hearing Lu Ye talk about heading off to make Source Stones?

Sorry, this was precisely his domain!

Source Stones?

He was so broke he was left with only Source Stones!
