Chapter 72: Heavenly Heroes Conference, Chen Changsheng: Making Some Pocket Money
After a long journey, Chen Changsheng and the others finally arrived at their destination.
The Central Courtyard of Kunlun Sacred Ground.
However, as soon as Chen Changsheng and his group landed, they heard the sounds of battle from afar.
“Saintess of the Purple Manor, today I, the disciple of the Golden Light Cave, dare to challenge you!”
A young man’s vitality surged as a dazzling sun appeared behind him.
Facing this situation, a woman with a veil merely glanced at him indifferently.
Then she raised her hand as if holding a flower, her body slowly ascending.
“Buzz!”
“Whoosh!”
A green sea appeared behind the woman, and as she slowly pushed her hand forward, a powerful anomaly accompanied by an attack swept over.
The disciple of the Golden Light Cave was knocked flying in one move.
Seeing this, everyone frowned.
But Chen Changsheng’s exclamation broke the atmosphere on the scene.
“Cool!”
“Whoosh!”
All the geniuses present turned to look at Chen Changsheng, their eyes filled with disbelief and disdain almost spilling out.
We know she’s impressive, but you can’t say it so bluntly!
We’re all geniuses, can’t you show a little pride?
Even before you’ve acted, you’re making such a fuss—it’s too embarrassing.
Facing everyone’s gaze, Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment and said,
“Why are you looking at me? Isn’t she impressive?”
“Fighting and producing anomalies, isn’t that amazing!”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Ye Hensheng felt a throbbing in his temples.
“Brother Chen, don’t say anymore.”
“Such is the case with the great changes in heaven and earth; any cultivation technique not from the old system might produce anomalies.”
“So that’s how it is!”
“Does that mean all newly created techniques will produce anomalies?”
Upon hearing this, the disdain in the eyes of those around them intensified.
This person is clearly a country bumpkin; who knows where he came from.
“Of course not, only powerful techniques can produce anomalies, and the stronger the potential, the stronger the anomaly.”
“Then she’s still very impressive, having produced an anomaly.”
Hearing this, Ye Hensheng almost couldn’t resist sewing Chen Changsheng’s mouth shut.
Because this guy is too embarrassing.
“Brother Chen, we are at the Heavenly Heroes Conference.”
“Geniuses can do what ordinary people cannot. In other words, everyone here has anomalies.”
“You should have one too, right?”
“I don’t know. I haven’t fought recently. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have known about this situation.”
Ye Hensheng: “…”
Why did I bring you out back then?
I did many bad things in my early life, and encountering you seems like a penance.
Because you are sent by heaven to torment me.
Explaining the general rules to Chen Changsheng, Ye Hensheng and the others quickly left.
As for the geniuses from other places, they smiled indifferently, seemingly not taking Chen Changsheng seriously.
Seeing no one paying attention to him, Chen Changsheng pursed his lips and headed in another direction.
Just now, Chen Changsheng really didn’t know about these situations, and his praise came from his heart.
Ye Hensheng felt such behavior was embarrassing because they valued decorum and face too much.
In the face of time, everything becomes insignificant, let alone the ridiculous decorum and face.
With infinite life, Chen Changsheng wouldn’t care about such matters.

“Here are three hundred pounds of divine source, sir, please take them.”
The shop owner personally handed Chen Changsheng a beast skin bag containing the divine source. After checking the quantity, Chen Changsheng turned and left.
Within just two hundred years, the entire cultivation world had undergone tremendous changes.
The hard currency of the cultivation world had changed from spiritual stones to divine sources.
Divine sources were a new method that emerged in recent centuries. Before that, this thing was called spiritual source.
As Kunlun Sacred Ground developed the Sacred Ruins, spiritual sources began to appear in large quantities.
At first, everyone treated spiritual sources as a new type of cultivation resource. However, as the laws of heaven and earth changed, people discovered the importance of spiritual sources.
The old cultivation system was rejected, and everyone explored new systems.
Gradually, people found that the effects of spiritual sources were much better than those of spiritual stones when exploring new cultivation systems.
Later on, the method of spiritual sources evolved into divine sources.
And divine sources became the exclusive cultivation resources for geniuses.
Looking at the three hundred pounds of ordinary divine source in the beast skin bag, Chen Changsheng pursed his lips and said,
“A ten-to-one exchange ratio, I feel like I lost a lot of money.”
“It looks like I need to make up for it from somewhere else!”
Saying that, Chen Changsheng looked up at the nearby gambling stone shop.
With the changes in the laws of heaven and earth, some ordinary divine sources started appearing in the former locations of spiritual stone veins.
However, some special divine sources only appeared in the minerals mined from the forbidden grounds.
The stone skins containing divine sources blocked all detection. To ensure a steady profit, major forces opened gambling stone shops.
Inside, you might make a small profit, but the people behind the scenes would never lose.
Coincidentally, Chen Changsheng had considerable research on divine sources, which were once spiritual sources.
After all, several hundred years ago, divine sources weren’t very valuable.
As for the minerals extracted from the forbidden grounds, they could be bought with some spiritual stones.
To thoroughly study the properties of divine sources, Chen Changsheng opened up a mountain of minerals.
Regarding the divine sources obtained, Chen Changsheng felt they weren’t particularly useful, so he gave half to A-Li.
The remaining half was buried under a grand formation as the foundation of the array.
—
Kunlun Stone Workshop.
Countless cultivators were selecting various sizes of stones.
These stones might contain special divine sources.
One cut rich, one cut poor—such scenarios were common in the gambling stone shops.
“Boss, I want to buy this stone!”
Chen Changsheng’s voice echoed through the Kunlun Stone Workshop. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Chen Changsheng with eyes that saw him as a fool.
The stone Chen Changsheng wanted to buy was the hallmark of the Kunlun Stone Workshop.
Everyone: “…”
Are you crazy from gambling?
That’s just an ordinary stone, placed outside as decoration. What were you thinking!
Soon, the manager of the Kunlun Stone Workshop arrived.
The manager said with a stern face, “Friend, are you here to cause trouble?”
“Can’t you speak properly?”
“I’m here to gamble stones. Isn’t buying a stone normal?”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, the manager’s expression remained unchanged.
The giant stone, apart from being inscribed with the four characters “Kunlun Stone Workshop,” had nothing special.
If this person wasn’t here to cause trouble, I’d pull out my eyeballs and step on them!
“Is that so?”
“Fine, this stone requires weight in divine source to exchange.”
“You just need to provide one thousand pounds of divine source.”
