Massive Gains
"As my liege commands"
All the fiends showed excitement to try out their new prowess.
Not only do they have a safe and luxurious home.
They are practically living in a paradise, as a result, most fiends had a breakthrough and they were itching for some action.
Seeing the situation turn around, the evil cypress tree screeched and issued a bunch of commands to stop the situation but it couldn't save anything.
In about 50 breaths of time, the fiends made quick work of the trees.
Long Chen slowly made his way towards the evil cypress tree.
Seeing Long Chen walk over the Evil Cypress Tree shook and it appeared as if it was making a tough decision.
Before Long it stopped shaking and became determined.
'Woosh''Woosh''Woosh'
Many dark-colored branches started popping from the underground.
They were oozing a black miasma and the ground underneath them was being corroded.
Just looking at them could send chills up one's spine.
Luckily they were equivalent to peak qi condensation cultivators.
Although they numbered in dozen the fiends attacked them.
Unlike the trees, they were very resilient and full of vitality.
It was very hard to kill them.
Long Chen paid no heed to anything else and appeared before the Evil Cypress Tree.
By now the tree was looking completely withered and lifeless.
Long Chen put his hand on a tree and felt danger.
From the mouth it spat dark qi, rolling to the side he dodged but his arm got hit making it wither a little.
'Dammit'
In anger, Long Chen did not even bother healing his arm but straight away shoved his saber in the tree.
Destroying its consciousness.
Putting his hand over the trunk Long Chen started devouring it.
Dark qi, vitality, and some strange energy started rushing in Long Chen's body.
He absorbed and purified, this cycle repeated for a while.
The fiends were surrounding him with a respectful expression.
Long Chen did not realize how much time passed, but when he opened his eyes the tree withered like sand.
'9Th layer of qi condensation nice'
Noticing his body he felt he had a tinge of dark qi and his withered arm was back to normal.
Even his body progressed a lot and his bones were completely forged.
Smirking he noticed a small seed from where the tree was.
"Nice time for the main course."
Picking up the seed Long Chen tried absorbing it.
At first, nothing happened before the seed suddenly got sucked into his dantian.
Black-colored veins started popping in Long Chen's body.
His qi started going haywire. To an outsider, it may appear he was going qi deviation.
10 breaths of time later Long Chen opened his eyes but a dark glint passed through his eyes.
Pointing to the ground, a branch popped out of nowhere, it appeared exactly like The Evil Cypress Tree.
It then attacked the Nether Grove tree, not only did the branch corrode the Nether Grove tree it also absorbed its vitality and qi.
Long Chen then directed a part of the Vitality and Qi to himself and the other to the seed.
Basically, the seed has fused with Long Chen becomes the same as a part of his body.
It works like a second dantian albeit the energy inside can only be used in certain ways.
"This is perfect to be used in conjunction with the Devour Tactics"
Long Chen was pretty satisfied with this method. It not only diversifies his arsenal it also allows him to use Dark Qi via substitution.
Even the fiends were pretty surprised with Long Chen's means.
The devotions inside them increased a lot.
Long Chen then walked up the trunk of where the Evil Cypress Tree was.
Touching it he tried to make a connection with it via the seed in his dantian.
'Great it's done'
After the connection was established he was able to observe via the trees.
He could feel a couple of people still lingering there.
Since he needed privacy he made the command for the trees in the outer layers to indulge in suicide attacks and even blow themselves if need be.
The Command faced a bit of rejection because Long Chen's connection was weaker than the original trees.
To remedy that he released his intent to kinda force them to do his thing.
In about 100 breaths of time, after repeated bombardments, the area was completely covered.
Long Chen then tossed a spatial ring towards Ah hu.
"Ah hu collect all the nether fruits keep half of them for your people and deliver me the rest"
"Yes my lord" Ah hu sounded really elated at Long Chen's generosity.
Long Chen then sat down and started absorbing qi and vitality directly from the Nethergrove trees.
By virtue of his connection, it was very easy as well as effective.
Soon he lost track of time and got lost in the cultivation
The nether qi like honey and vitality like warm water was slowly entering his body.
He kept his pace real slow to not only purify his loot but also to not lag in comprehension.
His cultivation kept rising.
Early 9th layer qi condensation
Mid 9th layer qi condensation
High 9th layer qi condensation
Peak 9th layer qi condensation
Very soon he reached the peak of qi condensation, if it wasn't for the realm he might have even broken through.
Still, he kept cultivating by purifying and comprehending.
Some days later he opened his eyes.
"The realm is about to close"
Looking around the trees had almost withered from now it will take a long time before anyone can expect any sort of harvest.
Ah Gu then delivered him neither fruits seeing them a smile blossomed on Long Chen's face.
There were almost 10k fruits.
"Alright all of you come back" Ah gu and the other fiends entered the asura stone and He Mao got onto Long Chen's back.
The next moment a portal appeared before Long Chen.
Taking one look at the surrounding Long Chen jumped inside.
He failed to notice that He Mao had tears glistening through her eyes when she looked back at the realm.
'Woosh'
Long Chen felt his head abuzz like someone was buzzing his sea of consciousness, for a few seconds before the environment around him changed.
Long Chen And He Mao appeared on the top of the mountain, where the secret realm was located.
Looking down, Long Chen saw many people hurriedly scurrying off.
It is understandable as many people have had some great gains and they just wanna avoid top greedy guys.
Many Portals were constantly popping, and their clan members would literally grab them out of here.
Long Chen and He Mao slowly made their way down.
When he got close to the crowd, a lot of people stopped what they were doing, and talked about him in hushed voices, before scurrying off.
Long Chen ignored all the noise and then spotted his Fang Qian and co. With his family.
Aotian, Fang Yuan, and Bei Song had their faces tensed up.
Every second that passed, felt like an eternity to them.
The moment they spotted Long Chen, their brows slightly relaxed, and without uttering so much as a word they rushed towards him on an eagle demonic beast.
"Chener hurry up" Long Aotian Shouted in a grave voice.
Long Chen jumped aboard with He Mao before the eagle took off towards Southern Phoenix City.
"What's wrong father ?" Long Chen nonchalantly asked.
"What's wrong my head, you killed Long Bai and others publically. There is no way they're gonna let this go regardless of how much influence, I may hold there."
Long Chen blanked out for a second, as he regard Long Bai's death as trivial.
But seeing the tense expression on everyone's faces especially his father and uncle, he felt like he owed them an explanation.
"Everyone at ease, I can promise you this even if the ancestor of Long Clan came, I have methods to handle this."
Long Chen's tone left no room for doubt and considering his statement everyone relaxed, but they were still a little cynical due to the vague statement.
Long Chen certainly wouldn't mention his trump cards.
So the rest of the journey, everyone shared their experiences and gains.
Long Chen also introduced Ding Hu as his subordinate, and He Mao as his pet.
They certainly had their doubts especially about Ding Hu, who gave a sinister and dark vibe, but they did not question him.
Apart from Long Aotian the 2 men almost fell off the beasts, when they heard that everyone has unlocked intent seeds.
"Dammit, I wish I could go there too"
"Such a waste of heavenly blessing, that mountain should be brought forth in the normal world."
"Exactly right"
Listening to the 2 men pour out their grievances about the unfairness of life, everyone had a good laugh.
After half a day of the journey, everyone finally reached the city.
Everyone parted ways from there, preparing for the worst.
Entering his estate Long Chen and He Mao were immediately pounced on by Xiao Bai.
Seeing He Mao, Xiao Bai got alert.
Her eyes scrunched up in worry and jealousy, seeing He Mao lying on Long Chen's shoulders, which is her favorite position.
Clenching her fists, she straightened her back and put on a serious expression.
As much as she tried to be imposing, it backfired and made her seem more adorable instead.
"I am Xiao Bai, who are you ?".
Gently opening her eyes He Mao got down from Long Chen and put her feet on Xiao Bai's head as if asserting dominance.
"Meow"
