Necropolis Immortal

rnor wanted to borrow money, they naturally wouldn’t refuse. 

“Three hundred trillion premium immortal crystals!” Lu Yun cut straight to the chase.

“Very well!” Thirteen people grit their teeth and waved their hands…

Thirteen rivers of crystals rushed through the sky and gushed toward Lu Yun.
Three hundred trillion premium immortal crystals was an enormous sum for even the thirteen merchant houses… a sum that they’d never be able to take out in the past.

In the world of immortals, there were so many immortal crystals that the total might as well be infinite.
However, most of it was cached underground in the form of raw ore.
Immortals all over the world did their utmost to mine it, but what they’d extracted so far was but a tiny fraction of the entire reserve.

Therefore, the amount of crystals in circulation was finite.
The thirteen merchant heads were the wealthiest figures in the entire world, but even for them, three hundred trillion was an astronomical number. 

But things were different now.
They’d established an alliance and partnered with Lu Yun to distribute the Dusk Province’s many treasures across the entire world.
As Lu Yun had enriched himself, and so had they.
Even more than him, to tell the truth!

The goods available from Dusk Province sold like hot cakes and caused a similar effect in the trading guilds’ original businesses.
The growth was nothing short of exponential.

While there was a difference between assets of the trading guilds and the personal wealth of the thirteen heads, they still were able to come up with the frightening sum of three hundred trillion premium immortal crystals.

Rumble!

An ocean of crystal danced in the sky and amassed in the shape of a magnificent dragon that flew headlong into the garden.

“You two, use these immortal crystals to set up formations and double the garden’s strength!” Lu Yun roared at Lin Yu and Lin Xuan.

“Understood!” The brothers’ eyes lit up.

Lu Yun hadn’t kept any secrets from them when he’d laid down his formations.
In fact, he’d left them in charge of the construction efforts in some parts of the garden.
Hence, such a task was no issue for the two brothers who shared a near-telepathic bond.

In next to no time, dazzling light erupted from the garden.

With a quick succession of hand seals from Feinie, the Sumeru Formation expanded ever outward to occupy an ever-increasing surface.
Each time the formation grew, so did the garden grow as well.

Inside the garden, each blade of grass, each tree trunk, each brick, and each tile shone with a sparkling, translucent glow.
From them gathered a terrifying amount of immortal energy, mixed with life essence, which shot at the sky and barrelled into the giant Ancient Tree of Life.

Boom!

Another explosive sound came from the great hole in the sky.
A giant root slowly extended out the hole.
The lateral roots growing from it no longer struggled.
Instead, they tirelessly absorbed the tremendous energy and vitality in the surroundings.

Slowly above the tree roots, the giant trunk, crown, sparkling branches, and translucent leaves slowly descended from the hole in the sky.
A vast aura of life spread to every corner of Dusk Province.

“It’s finally been tamed!” Lu Yun sighed gently in relief.

“Hey kid!!” A familiar voice came from inside the tree.
“This tree’s been demonized and become self-aware.
You better be careful!” The voice belonged to Chen Xiao.

“What?!” Lu Yun immediately looked up with a start and saw a giant human face on the treetop… looking back at him with a supercilious smile.
Following which, the branches and leaves of the treetop quickly amassed into a great hand that grabbed at him.

“After an eternity, I’ve finally found you… Key of Life.
Hand it over!”

Boom! 

A terrible power erupted into the world as the hand fell on Lu Yun.
