Chapter 173: Back To The Western Region.

Chapter 173: Back To The Western Region.

The sun was setting in the distance, its golden hue cascading over the Western Region.

Pedestrians, hawkers, and peddlers were returning home from their day’s work.

Standing imposingly at the center of Dust Valley City, the Thousand Wealth Chamber had people coming in and out.

Behind the chamber, at the northern quarters, an ordinary building stood without catching anyone’s attention.

Beneath the building was a long underground tunnel. It was quiet, with the slight howls of wind echoing frequently.

Guards at the Intermediate and Peak Core Refining Realm were moving back and forth.

Although the tunnel was quiet with no souls in the vicinity, they did not dare let down their vigilance.

Suddenly, the guard captain halted in his tracks and looked in a particular direction.

Time seemed to stretch infinitely. He creased his brow, his hand tightening on the hilt of his sword.

"Prepare for contact!" he commanded. His voice was grave.

Immediately, the guards unsheathed their weapons, forming a battle formation.

Whoosh!

Just then, a bright light emanated from the distance, catching the guards off guard.

Before they could realize what was happening, what looked like a giant long beast appeared before their eyes.

Huh!

Tension gripped their hearts like a vice, and the hair on their bodies stood straight.

They were ready for a life-and-death battle when the beast slowly came to a stop a couple of feet from them.

The captain locked his gaze on the beast but did not detect a sign of life from it. It felt like he was staring at lumps of metal.

However, his men were not as calm as him. They raised their weapons, ready to unleash their greatest attack.

"Wait!" he shouted.

Hmm?

His men raised their brows and looked at their captain in confusion.

Why did he stop them?

Did he want to die?

Just as his men were wondering what was going on, a faint sound came from the metal beast.

Fear and panic gripped the guards’ hearts. The tension was palpable.

Just as they couldn’t hold on any longer, from the metal beast, a young man appeared.

Looking at the young man, the captain and his men froze.

They could not believe their eyes.

"Y-Young Master..." the captain called with a shaky voice.

Why did this person look like their Young Master? His thoughts were in disarray.

Watching their confusion, Mo Jian smiled. "You did well. Well done."

When they heard his voice, they knew this was their young man.

"Y-Young Master... It is really you," one of the guards said with a trembling voice.

"You don’t need to be surprised. This belongs to the Chamber. It is newly made," Mo Jian explained.

Ah!

A gasp escaped from the guards’ mouths. They looked at the long metal beast with wide eyes.

How could this be?

A moving carriage that did not need a horse or beast to pull—how was that possible?

Besides, this was a lot longer than any carriage they’d ever seen or heard of.

It was over 20 meters in length. This was not a carriage but something more—something beyond mortal understanding.

While the guards were trying to wrap their heads around the metal beast in front of them...

Behind Mo Jian, Elder Bai Delan appeared and smiled.

"Ah! Young Master, it only took us over one hour to arrive in the Western Region," he said, still in disbelief.

When Mo Jian said this would be the fastest means of transportation, he did not expect it would be this heaven-defying.

This was insane.

Mo Jian smiled. "Elder Bai, this is just the beginning. If we revise the blueprint, check the runes and materials, we will be able to upgrade it multiple times. So..."

Ah!

Elder Bai opened his mouth, but no word came out. This was the truth. This was just the first—the second and third would be a lot faster than this.

Then, how many minutes would it take to cross from the Southern Region Capital to the Western Region?

Just thinking of it made his blood surge with anticipation.

"Let’s go. I can’t wait to see the fatty’s face when he sees me," Mo Jian said and left.

"Ahahaa. I guess that rascal will not expect it," Elder Bai laughed.

Behind him, the instructors and disciples came down from the Skyrunner.

Even though they were shocked at the speed of the Skyrunner, they still pushed their chests out with pride.

They were part of the team that created it. How could they not show it?

Many were already planning to brag to their friends in the Refining Hall.

From the ordinary-looking building, Mo Jian, Elder Bai, and the others came out.

Mo Jian looked at his first Thousand Wealth Chamber and he was nostalgic.

Just like yesterday, he and Zhao Tian started the chamber. But now, he had grown enough that he dominated two regions.

Next, they would storm the Central Region to dominate the world.

Using the hidden passage, Mo Jian arrived at the highest floor. Without knocking, he opened Zhao Tian’s office.

Inside, Zhao Tian was extremely busy, reading a bunch of reports. When the door was pushed without any notification, he frowned and raised his head.

Just as he prepared to open his mouth to rebuke whoever it was, he froze.

His jaw dropped in disbelief.

"Y-Young Master," he shouted.

Hahaha!

"See your face. Stay like that, let me capture it," Mo Jian teased, staring at his bewildered expression.

It had been a long time since he laughed freely like this.

Zhao Tian recovered from his shock and spoke quickly. "You can take as many as you want." He puffed his fat chest outward.

The robe held firmly to his large fats, trying their best not to be torn into pieces.

"What did I expect? Such a shameless fatty." Mo Jian grinned and took his seat.

Zhao Tian laughed and opened his hidden chest. He took out his best tea and served Mo Jian.

Mo Jian received the tea and took a sip. "How is the Western Region and the chamber?"

Zhao Tian took his seat across from him and responded with a tired expression.

"Young Master, it is exciting but tiring," he responded with a deep sigh.

Their chamber had grown so large that he did not have time to go after many beauty maidens to talk about life.

He that loved to brag could not fulfill his hobby. How could he enjoy his wealth without bragging?

However, when he thought about his massive wealth, the tired expression on his face vanished.

With enough wealth, he could have as many maidens as he wanted. Then he could brag and tell them about his great exploits.

Unknown to his thoughts, Mo Jian added, "But you’re enjoying yourself. Look, you have become more than before."

"Really?" Zhao Tian looked at his body with a pleased smile.

He had been eating Tier-1 food from the Cloudsoar Retreat. How could he not increase in weight?

"Yes. So don’t tell me it is tiring. You’re just too lazy. Perhaps, you don’t have the chance to brag to those innocent girls," Mo Jian said with a knowing smile.

"Hahaha. Young Master knows me best."

"Tsk." He clicked his tongue and rose to his feet. "Come, show me the Skylight Butterfly breeding farm."

Immediately, they left the chamber and left Dust Valley City in a carriage.

They arrived at a village near the city. Around the village were guards guarding the surroundings.

When they saw Zhao Tian, they paid their respects. Passing through the village, Mo Jian saw many young and old people coming back from the direction where they were going.

Shortly, they arrived behind the village. There he saw the Skylight Butterflies.

They flew happily on the trees and flowers. Their beautiful wings illuminated the light, brightening their surroundings.

"Young Master..."

Just then, an old man called from behind. When the old man saw Mo Jian, he bowed deeply.

"You must be the one in charge of this village?" Mo Jian asked.

"Yes, Young Master. It is the honor of this old one."

"Continue well, and don’t forget your cultivation. When you reach the peak and are ready to break through to the Golden Core Realm, let me know," Mo Jian said.

"Ah! Thank you, Young Master. I’ll work hard and not disappoint you," the old man fell on his knee, his face full of gratitude.

With his life coming to an end in the next few years, such promises weighed more than gold.

Quickly, Mo Jian left the Skylight Butterflies breeding farm and returned to the city.

This time, they went to visit the Industrial Complex—the heart of the Thousand Wealth Chamber.

The current industrial complex was five times bigger than before. Many new factories had been built.

Also, there were many assembly lines.

Arriving at the complex, the news of his arrival spread like wildfire.

Quickly, Yan Li, Xiu Xu, and the others left whatever they were doing and rushed to meet him.

Mo Jian and Zhao Tian were inspecting the newly built assembly line.

Yan Liu and the others arrived.

"Y-Young Master..." Xiu Xu shouted excitedly, unbothered by the people around them.
