…

The demonic sect’s Sacred Sovereign obviously saw through Xuanyuan Long’s thoughts. Although he was angry, he could not say anything.

After all, he was only a prisoner. Even if he wanted to resist, he could not beat Ye Xiao.

There was no other way!

He had no choice but to lower his head under the eaves.

After taking a deep breath, he simply turned his head away and did not look at Xuanyuan Long and Ye Xiao anymore.

After handing over the materials, Xuanyuan Long immediately reported again,

“Ye Xiao, although we’ve already completely suppressed the various large sects, there are still many people among them who are unconvinced.”

Ye Xiao had long anticipated that situation and said indifferently,

“This is very normal. Anyone who suddenly changes a new master would feel a little uncomfortable. They will get used to it in the future.”

“However, even though that is the case, this period of time will be very long. During this period of time, it will not be easy for us to control them. Their disobedience will bring us a lot of trouble.

“Especially when some of them are acting behind the scenes and completely disobeying our orders.”

Ye Xiao pondered for a moment and had a rough idea in his heart. He naturally knew what Xuanyuan Long meant. It was nothing more than arranging the members of the Xuan Yuan immortal sect to the various large sects to achieve the goal of completely controlling them.

However, he did not want to do that. It was too cold to be at the top. Once you stood at the peak, the others would take you as their target, wanting to conquer you, challenge you, and surpass you.

No matter what, the Xuan Yuan immortal sect was only a subsidiary of him. Following his level, it was raised to its current strength. However, with his cultivation becoming stronger and stronger, Ye Xiao did not know how much longer he could stay there.

If there was a day in the future when he became a Sacred Sovereign, he might have to leave that world or an even more powerful existence. What would he do then?

Then the Xuan Yuan immortal sect would lose its protection.

Perhaps, by relying on the remnant power that he left behind and the gift that he gave them with each advancement, they could suppress an era.

However, the starry sky was not eternal. As time flowed, the Xuan Yuan immortal sect might become a stepping stone for others in tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years.

No one even knew if other races would have the same fate as them.

If that was the case, even if the gifts he gave them greatly increased their cultivation, they would still be no match for him.

In the end, they might even become a large-scale experience bag for the other party. One wave after another, they would feed the other party until they became fat.

It would be meaningless.

Therefore, Ye Xiao still hoped that the Xuan Yuan immortal sect could obediently cultivate in that place and raise his strength. He did not want to let himself fall behind in the future.

He also did not want to go out and stir up trouble, causing him to be covered in blood and shame.

Therefore, after a simple contemplation, Ye Xiao immediately opened his mouth and said:

“The essence of cultivation is actually to raise one’s own strength. Controlling others doesn’t have much meaning.

“As long as we ourselves are strong enough, no one will come and provoke us, and no one will dare to provoke us either.

“However, the risks brought by controlling others are immeasurable for us.

“Therefore, I suggest that the Xuan Yuan immortal sect don’t do this.”

“Isn’t this… Isn’t this too much of a pity? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Once we succeed in controlling all the sects, countless people from our Xuan Yuan immortal sect will provide us with resources in the future.

“How many conveniences will this bring to our clansmen?”

The most important aspect of cultivation was resources!

It was like a person who wanted to live well could not lack money.

Money was not a necessity of life, but it could make life better.

Resources for cultivation were sometimes a hundred times more important than people who needed money.

That was because without money, people could still live. As long as they could get something to eat.

However, without cultivation resources, sometimes, one could not even successfully cultivate.

The Xuan Yuan immortal sect was very strong, so strong that it was abnormal. It could even be said that they were now the number one immortal sect in the starry sky.

However, it was precisely because of it that they needed cultivation resources even more.

Cultivation resources were not produced out of thin air. Many things were cultivated step by step through the accumulation of time, such as those tens of thousands of years of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

The number of resources that could be obtained from subduing those sects could be said to be like an ocean.

Hence, Xuanyuan Long was reluctant to part with them.

Ye Xiao only spoke indifferently,

“There will always be trouble when people go crazy. The Xuan Yuan immortal sect has already reached its peak. If they are too arrogant, they will attract the jealousy of others.

“Even if I can defeat everyone now, do you dare to be sure that I can continue to stay in this world if I advance?

“If you don’t have me, are you sure that you can defeat everyone?

“Moreover, it’s not just that. You dare to say that the immortal world is so big. Don’t tell me that there isn’t anyone like me?

“What will you do if an existence that is on par with my improvement speed appears? “Will you be able to defeat him?”

Xuanyuan Long was momentarily stunned when he heard those words. Soon after, he could not help but let out a deep sigh.

Ye Xiao was right. It was that he did not think of those problems. After Ye Xiao defeated the two Sacred Sovereigns, Ye Xiao himself did not become inflated. Instead, he became a little inflated.

In reality, it was not just him. Even many other members of the Xuan Yuan immortal sect were also inflated.

Everyone had already been blinded by victory and became not calm enough.

“I understand, Ye Xiao. I will listen to you. From today onwards, I will never think of expanding the influence of the Xuan Yuan immortal sect.”

Ye Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

“It’s good that you can understand what I’m saying. Cultivate well! I’ve given you so many blessings. The power of your bloodline is already quite dense. It’s even comparable to those legendary immemorial immortal sects!

“As long as you cultivate well, you might be able to advance to the Sacred Sovereign in the future. In that case, the Xuan Yuan immortal sect can truly be considered as stable as a mountain.”

Xuanyuan Long nodded and left piously.

Seeing that scene, regardless of whether it was the demonic sect’s Sacred Sovereign or the righteous path’s Sacred Sovereign, Lu Xu, they could not help but feel a myriad of emotions in their hearts.

Up till then, there were only a few people who could reach Ye Xiao’s level of cultivation.

There were even fewer people who could firm up their hearts after reaching his level of cultivation!

What was even more terrifying was that as Sacred Sovereigns, they were different from others and could clearly see Ye Xiao’s bone age.

That fellow was only a little over 30!

That was right!

He was only a little over 30!

In their eyes, his age was simply like a crying baby waiting to be fed!

However, he had become an existence similar to them and was even stronger than them.

Comparing people was truly infuriating. They could not even be compared!

Very soon, they saw Ye Xiao begin to make his move. He gathered the materials and began refining the statue.

After seeing that scene, be it the demonic sect’s Sacred Sovereign or Lu Xu, a sense of unease surged in their hearts.

The two of them faintly felt that something bad was going to happen.

“Hey! What are you doing?”

Ye Xiao glanced at the two of them and said indifferently,

“I’m making a statue for the two of you. In the future, you can use this statue to unleash your combat strength. Then, help me protect the Xuan Yuan immortal sect.”

“What kind of joke are you making? Don’t go overboard. Just now, you forced us to give you information, and that was already very overboard. In the end, you still want us to be your immortal sect’s guardians?

“There should be a limit to bullying people, right?”

Ye Xiao said indifferently,

“You can also choose to reject. However, on careful thought, I feel that it’s best if you don’t reject me.

“Because even I don’t know what kind of methods I will use to punish the two of you. Perhaps there will be some very cruel methods.

“If the two of you don’t mind, I don’t mind.

“Besides, I don’t really need you two to be guardians, so I’ll be very patient.

“The key is whether you two have the patience to play with me.

“If you two don’t have the patience, maybe after being tortured by me, you’ll finally agree to my request.”

When he said that, both of their faces could not help but twitch violently.

That fellow, did he have to be so excessive?

It was simply unreasonable!

However, what he said seemed to make a lot of sense.

Since the two of them only had their primordial souls left, there was no way for them to reject him. They were like ants in his hands, and could only be crushed by him.

Thinking like that, it seemed that there was no point in resisting.

Their cultivation had already reached their realm. Regardless of whether it was their thoughts or anything else, they were many times stronger than ordinary people.

Sometimes, they could see through many things at once!

Otherwise, they would not have been able to advance to the Sacred Sovereign realm.

At that time, even if they wanted to preserve their self-esteem, it would be impossible.

The demonic sect’s Sacred Sovereign could not help but feel sorrowful. He, the mighty demonic sect’s Sacred Sovereign, was at least a super prodigy. He was an indomitable existence, the most powerful holy senior in the entire demonic sect.

However, up until then, he was actually unable to decide his own fate.

Sigh!

He could only say that the world was unpredictable!

Lu Xu sent a voice transmission to console him,

“Forget it. You and I don’t need to be too sad. He might not be able to create a statue that can withstand the energy of the two of us.”

Hearing that, the demonic sect’s Sacred Sovereign’s eyes instantly lit up.

That was right, Ye Xiao might not be able to refine a statue of that level.

That was because the two of them were terrifying existences in the Sacred Sovereign realm. An ordinary statue would not be able to withstand their primordial souls at all.

If Ye Xiao really wanted to control them, then he would at least have to refine a sacred weapon-grade statue.

The difficulty of that was no joke.

Even if Ye Xiao’s combat strength could destroy the Sacred Sovereign, it was impossible for him to easily refine a sacred weapon.

Refining a weapon and fighting were two completely different things.

Those were two completely different directions. Ye Xiao could not possibly cultivate both martial arts and weaponsmithing, right?

One must know that the reason why he could advance to the peak of the third-level Imperial Immortal realm in such a short period of time, and even reach a higher cultivation level to fight against the Sacred Sovereign, was definitely because he had put all of his efforts into cultivating.

In that case, it was impossible for him to draw his attention back to learning weaponsmithing.

However, just as the two of them were thinking about that, the next second, thunder rumbled in the sky.

The faces of the two of them could not help but twitch violently.

With their eyes, they could easily tell that it was a Lightning Tribulation. It was something that would only appear when a sacred weapon was forged.

That fellow had actually raised his artifact-refining skills to such a terrifying realm.

Was that fellow mistaken?

How on earth did he cultivate?

Did he still want others to live?

The two of them instantly felt like vomiting blood!

Lu Xu clenched his teeth and said,

“Don’t worry. Even if he can attract the Sacred Weapon Lightning Tribulation, it doesn’t mean that he can really refine it into a sacred weapon. Although there is Lightning Tribulation, he still has to be able to advance.”

However, an hour later, the first sacred weapon statue was easily refined by Ye Xiao. There were no ripples throughout the entire process and there was a steady batch. It was like an old master digging a hole. His craftsmanship was superb and he would not deviate from it every time.

The two Sacred Sovereigns could not help but be slightly petrified.

Lu Xu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth again,

“Don’t worry. Even if he can refine a sacred weapon-grade statue, it’s impossible for him to have enough materials to refine a second one.

“This thing is very expensive in terms of materials, and it consumes a lot of them. He definitely doesn’t have that many materials.”

Just as he finished speaking, Ye Xiao took out another batch of materials.

Although forging a sacred weapon required a lot of materials, the materials Xuanyuan Long gave him were really too many. Therefore, he actually did not use up all of them earlier. He only used up a very small portion.

Lu Xu’s face could not help but twitch violently once again. He gritted his teeth and said,

“I don’t believe that even if he has the materials, he can continue to forge a sacred weapon-grade statue? There must be a certain success rate in forging it, and he will definitely fail a lot of the remaining ones.”

However, just as he said this, the demonic sect’s Sacred Sovereigndirectly kicked him out.

“Shut up, you idiot.”

He simply could not tolerate Lu Xu’s incessant nonsense!

If it were not for him, Ye Xiao might not have been able to refine it.

In the end, he jinxed it and repeated it over. Instead, he made Ye Xiao successfully refine it.

It really made him feel like he was being cowardly by a dog.

He sighed helplessly. The outcome was already destined. He had no way of resisting anymore.

He did not expect that he, a dignified Sacred Sovereign, would end up becoming someone else’s dowry after bitterly cultivating for so many years.

If he had known earlier, he would not have come down.

That was not right. If he had known earlier, he would not have cultivated.

He had worked so hard for so many years. In the end, it was still a dream. What was he after?

At that moment, Ye Xiao had finally succeeded in refining ten sacred weapon-grade statues.

The demonic sect’s Sacred Sovereign could not help but ask in puzzlement,

“We only have two Sacred Sovereigns. Even if you want to give them to those peak third-level Imperial Immortals, you only need eight at most. Why did you refine so many?”

Ye Xiao said indifferently,

“There are too many materials and it takes up too much space. Since I have nothing to do anyway, I’ll refine two more. If I kill two more Sacred Sovereigns in the future, I can just take them and use them directly. It saves me the effort of refining again.”

“…”

He should not have said anything!

He was asking for humiliation!
