Chapter 173: In the Blink of an Eye, Mahayana Falls! (2)

Let’s ask them directly.

And so, a voice sounded in the ears of Tan Shang and Cheng Hui. “May the two of you come for a conversation?”

In mid-air, the two exchanged glances and quickly descended.

“Tan Shang, I’ve met the senior.”

“Cheng Hui, I’ve met the senior.”

“No need for excessive courtesy; you can call me Su Yang.”

“Please come down. I would like to gather some information from you, and I hope you can clarify some things.”

“Su Senior, please ask.”

Naturally, the two had no intention of refusing.

Su Yang expressed some of his doubts as well.

Firstly, he inquired about the purpose of the galaxy crystal core. Besides city construction, it had various other applications, including in crafting, top-tier formations, and city expansion within the galaxy core. Its uses were extensive, making it a common resource for those at the Mahayana realm and beyond. Secondly, he asked about the construction of the Starry Sky Market. To build it, they needed a substance called voidstone as the primary material, supplemented with the galaxy crystal core.

Thirdly, he wanted to know if destroying foreign race cities might lead to retaliation, with the foreign races uniting against the humans.

This was Su Yang’s primary concern. He had the strength to wipe out numerous foreign race cities, but the fear of provoking a powerful counterattack from the foreign races held him back.

“Su Senior, in truth, even though the foreign races have an alliance treaty, its impact may not be substantial, ” Tan Shang explained. “Those who are completely hostile to the human race will remain so, and the fact that we still stand here means that the foreign races have not reached a level of complete unity.”

“At most, it may make those foreign races who were already opposed to us react more intensely. Some neutrals or those who seek to gain more resources at the expense of the humans might seize the opportunity,” Cheng Hui added. “As long as you are prepared to withstand a fierce counterattack from the foreign races before taking action, there should be no issue.”

Su Yang quickly grasped the key point. Essentially, it meant that the enemies of the human race would remain enemies, and at most, it might encourage a few opportunistic individuals to plunder human resources or attack human cities.

“So you mean that the human race will still face as many enemies as it always has, and at most, a few greedy individuals may exploit this as an excuse to seize our resources and attack our cities, is that right?” Su Yang inquired.

“Yes, that’s correct,” Tan Shang replied. “However, Su Senior, you should be cautious. If we destroy too many foreign race cities or provoke a strong reaction from foreign race experts, it may backfire.”

“Exactly,” Cheng Hui chimed in. “With your strength at the Celestial Immortal realm, it may be feasible to destroy some foreign race cities. The issue lies in the possibility of foreign race Celestial Immortals getting involved, and causing excessive destruction could trigger a stronger retaliation.”

Su Yang had picked up the key points in the conversation. It seemed that he was eager to take action against foreign race cities.

With his Celestial Immortal-level strength, he could certainly handle some of the foreign race cities. However, the concern was that foreign race Celestial Immortals might respond if he caused too much chaos.

In simple terms, a little destruction was permissible, but not too much.

Su Yang hadn’t thought about it that much and continued with his inquiries. “In this entire Stellate Arm Galaxy, who is the highest level of cultivation? I mean, in the biggest cities?”

“In the whole Stellate Arm Galaxy, each of the super-large cities is governed by a True Immortal, and there aren’t too many Celestial Immortals,” Tan Shang explained. “Once they reach the Celestial Immortal realm, cultivators usually step into the Immortal Domain to pursue higher realms.”

“So, they won’t come back?” Su Yang asked.

Tan Shang shook his head. “Once they enter the Immortal Domain, they will be exposed to the rules and energies of that domain. Returning is not so simple. So far, there have been only a few instances of people coming back over thousands of years.”

“Their cultivation level after returning doesn’t surpass that of a True Immortal, and it’s only temporary. They will leave again after some time,” Tan Shang explained. “As for the specific reasons, I’m not clear, but that’s how it is.”

“Understood. Thanks for clarifying,” Su Yang replied.

Su Yang was becoming increasingly excited. It was a positive development that they couldn’t easily return.

Now, he wouldn’t be afraid to take action.

As for any foreign race treaties, that was just nonsense. The foreign races could attack human cities, but the humans couldn’t attack their cities? Nonsense!

“Tan Friend, do you happen to have a list of the foreign races in the Black Serpent Plains that are hostile to the human race?” Su Yang’s lips curled into a smile as he asked.

“I do have such a list, but to compile the entire list of foreign races in the Black Serpent Plains that are hostile to the human race, I may need to return and make the necessary preparations,” Tan Shang replied. He didn’t think too much about it, as strong individuals had their own reasons for doing things.

Typically, strong individuals were more intelligent, courageous, and adept at planning, in addition to being fortunate. They were different from those who had average concerns in their minds.

The reason why strong individuals were strong usually boiled down to their heightened intelligence, courage, scheming, and luck.

Certain obvious crises didn’t require excessive reminders. Did others think they were oblivious to them?

Providing too many reminders could actually be annoying.

“Very well, let’s exchange contact information. You can contact me once you’ve prepared the list,” Su Yang suggested.

“Sure.”

After this conversation, both of them departed, and Su Yang remained, waiting for the completion of the city’s transformation. Building this city would provide him with substantial assistance.

Next, he planned to use his sword techniques to connect to each resource point, much like linking a water source to a pipeline. As soon as resources were generated, he would have them sent directly to his city..
