Chapter 2746: Don’ t Let Tyrannical Song Underestimate You!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Song Shuhang was speechless.

It was one thing not to have to handle the one billion spirit stones himself, but he was also responsible for paying for the materials and spirit stones needed to upgrade the two sets of the “Thirty-Three Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasures.”

On the surface, this appeared to be a significant opportunity Celestial Thearch had meticulously arranged for him to upgrade his life-bound magical treasure. Celestial Thearch had made sure everything was set up and had clearly put in considerable effort. However, for some reason, Song Shuhang could faintly sense the world’s deep malice towards him.

After the magic tool upgrade, not only would he not have one billion spirit stones in his account, but he might also have to shell out eight or ten billion spirit stones himself.

At this thought, ‘Tyrannical Songs heart’ couldn’t help but throb dully, transitioning from excitement to the verge of a heart attack.

Across from him, the ghostly figure of the Great Eastern Emperor calmly gazed at Song Shuhang and the virtuous lamia.

The virtuous lamia stared back at the Great Eastern Emperor without showing any weakness.

“Um, Senior Dongfang… May I choose not to upgrade and get a refund?” After much deliberation, Song Shuhang made a suggestion that the Great Eastern Emperor surely hadn’t anticipated.

Historically, cultivators from all realms had pleaded with the Great Eastern Emperor to craft their weapons. Even if it meant several times the cost of one billion spirit stones, there were always people knocking at his door.

Now, with a ready-made opportunity to upgrade a magical treasure before him, Tyrannical Song was actually asking for a refund?

The Emperor felt as though Tyrannical Song was slapping him in the face.

“You may choose to abandon the upgrade, but a refund is out of the question,” the Great Eastern Emperor said slowly.

It wasn’t that he was short of money; among the Four Great Emperors, he was the wealthiest.

The main issue was that a refund would affect his reputation.

Moreover, he didn’t even know the quality of the billion spirit stones he owed the Heavenly Emperor from that era.

In ancient times, during an unexpected crisis in his cultivation journey, he had needed a vast quantity of ready-to-use spirit stones to overcome the mishap.

At that time, it was the Celestial Thearch who came to his aid.

Among the spirit stones that the Heavenly Emperor had provided were those of sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. The amount wasn’t precisely one billion, but roughly around that number—certainly not exact.

Thus, even if he were to issue a refund, he couldn’t possibly recreate the original grade of those spirit stones.

He certainly couldn’t be expected to return a billion ninth-grade spirit stones, right?

Ultimately, he chose to repay the debt with his services and owed the Celestial Thearch a favor.

This favor had persisted from ancient times until now.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

“If you don’t have the materials and spirit stones, then I’ll return and continue my rest. Summon me once you’ve gathered the necessary materials and spirit stones for the upgrade. As long as you don’t give up this opportunity, the agreement between me and the Celestial Thearch remains valid,” the Eastern Heavenly Emperor reminded.

He could afford to give Tyrannical Song some time to gather materials. After all, there was no difference for him whether he upgraded Tyrannical Songs magical treasure today or tomorrow. It was Tyrannical Song who should feel the urgency… The sooner the life-bound magical treasure was upgraded, the better it would be for his future cultivation.

“No, there’s no need to wait for next time,” Song Shuhang said firmly, teeth gritted.

“Do you want to give up the opportunity?” The Eastern Heavenly Emperor looked at Tyrannical Song in surprise. Tyrannical Songs poverty seemed to exceed his expectations. Was he really willing to give up such a golden opportunity to enhance his magic tool just because he was poor?

“No, Senior Dongfang. I mean, 1 want to upgrade now. 1 have some materials and spirit stones,” Song Shuhang said, his expression pained.

At the moment, he did possess some wealth.

That was the tremendous wealth that had spilled from King Kun’s internal space after he had defeated him.

In the myriad worlds, there were not many creatures like King Kun, who stored his entire fortune within his body and could drop treasures after battles.

Having acquired King Kun’s treasure, Song Shuhang had reached the pinnacle of his wealth over the past half-month.

But now, his peak wealth was about to take a steep dive.

“Moreover, if I don’t have enough spirit stones, I can borrow some from my friends,” Song Shuhang added. He already owed Senior White a significant amount of spirit stones, so a little more debt wouldn’t hurt.

He now had the lifespan of a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender. Over this lengthy lifespan, he was certain he could earn enough spirit stones to repay the massive debt he owed Senior White!

“Loan,” the virtuous lamia echoed like a parrot.

In theory, if Song Shuhang needed to borrow spirit stones from Senior White, he would only need to borrow a small amount.

If Senior White’s planet of spirit stones were reduced to the size of a globe, and a small dot on it was the size of a city, then scooping out just one dot’s worth of spirit stones would suffice for Song Shuhangs upgrade needs.

“Take out all the spirit stones first. I’ll see if it’s enough for the upgrade. You have two sets of the ‘Thirty-Three Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure. If you want to upgrade both at once, the consumption will be substantial,” the ghostly Eastern Heavenly Emperor advised, unabashedly preparing Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song for the psychological impact.

This was to prevent Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song from faltering halfway through the upgrade due to the pain of parting with his spirit stones.

Furthermore, upgrading a life-bound magical weapon was different from upgrading an ordinary one. To be on the safe side, he needed as many spirit stones as possible—it’s better to have too many than too few.

“Why don’t you come to my… Uh, let me bring it out,” Song Shuhang said with a hollow laugh.

He had intended to take the East Sky Emperor to his Inner World.

However, upon reflection, the Inner World was now filled with fragments of the ancient Heavenly Court.

Even the fragments of the Southern Autumn Temple of the Great Southern Emperor and the Eastern Spring Pavilion of the Great Eastern Emperor were in his Inner World.

Primarily because of the Southern Autumn Temple, Song Shuhang did not want anyone to know it was in his Inner World… If the news leaked out and the bothersome Great Southern Emperor targeted him, it would be very uncomfortable.

According to Senior Turtle’s advice, if the Great Southern Emperor set his sights on them, they could be ambushed by him during meals, sleep, or secluded cultivation.

The nickname ‘Grind Emperor’ was not unwarranted.

In this world, there might be mistaken Daoist names, but there are definitely no mistaken nicknames.

Having said this, Song Shuhang slightly opened his Inner World and instructed the ‘Core Little Assistant’ to bring out the spirit stones.

Hualala

A large pile of gleaming eighth and ninth-grade spirit stones poured out from the Inner World.

Even a small portion of lower-grade spirit stones, which were Song Shuhang’s personal savings, were also brought out by the Core’s little assistant.

Along with the spirit stones, the forging materials from King Kun’s treasure trove and some of the materials Song Shuhang had gathered from Senior White Two’s Netherworld realm were also revealed.

“Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, you have quite a collection of raw materials, and they’re all of high quality. This can be used, these can also be used, this part can also be used, this is also good…” the Great Eastern Emperor began to sort through the materials.

With a few strokes, a large pile of forging materials was reduced to just a few unusable scraps, which were handed back to Song Shuhang. The remaining ninety-nine percent of the materials were claimed by the Great Eastern Emperor.

“In addition… Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, you’d better prepare about three times the number of spirit stones,” the Great Eastern Emperor added.

It was rare for him to take action, and he intended to make the most of it. He aimed to use all of Song Shuhangs spirit stones and forging materials to temper the sixty-six combined magical treasures to their limit!

He couldn’t let Tyrannical Song underestimate the value of his one billion spirit stones’ worth of effort..
