Chapter 412: Chapter 302: The Fall of the Feixing Sect, East Sea Unification

At this point, the City Defense Array was broken, and the Feixing Sect was destroyed.

Two days later, an Earth Immortal from the Divine Ship Sect, accompanied by elite leaders and numerous treasures and resources, abandoned the sect, leading to the sect’s fall without a fight.

Soon after, Thousand Star Hall took control of Feixing City effortlessly. Coupled with the early surrender of the two major guild alliances, the East Sea was settled, making Thousand Star Hall the official overlord of the East Sea.

Next was the continued expansion of the guild throughout the East Sea, until it could completely control most of the important resource areas in the region.

Time flew by, and a decade passed in the blink of an eye.

Ten years later, the headquarters of Thousand Star Hall was located on Thousand Star Island, outside of Thousand Star City.

Indeed, after the destruction of the Feixing Sect, the Feixing Archipelago was renamed the Thousand Star Archipelago, the main island was renamed Thousand Star Island, and the original Feixing City was renamed Thousand Star City, serving as the headquarters of Thousand Star Hall.

The original Feixing Sect’s mountain gate was renamed Thousand Star Mountain, which contained a fourth-tier superior Spirit Vein, used by Su Yu himself as his practice field in the East Sea.

The original Divine Ship Sect’s mountain gate was bestowed by Su Yu to his second brother, serving as his practice field. In the future, as his brother’s family expanded, it could become a family heritage practice field.

The original headquarters of Thousand Star Hall, Ten Thousand Poison Island, and the Five Elements Grotto Heaven were left to Chu Xinyue as her practice field.

In ten years of development, Thousand Star Hall, which dominated the entire East Sea, now had more than 15 million members.

The main force led by Su Yu contained 5 million members.

The main force led by Chu Xinyue contained 1.8 million members.

The main force led by his second brother contained 2 million members.

Among the remaining 6.2 million members, more than 2 million belonged to various life professions. The remaining 4.2 million were organized into 42 brigades of 100,000 each, led by Su Yu’s brothers and sisters, who had undergone more than ten years of training.

Consolidating resources from the entire East Sea, the guild’s annual income reached billions.

Among them, the annual income from various mines, Spirit Fields, Medicine Fields, and other special resource points was 78 million gold.

The total annual income from Thousand Star City, Ten Thousand Poison Island, and several newly built large cities, including city taxes, internal industry income, shop rentals, etc., was 568 million, with more than 80% of the total income coming from Thousand Star City, which saw an annual floating population exceeding one billion.

Overall, Thousand Star Hall’s annual total income was 646 million.

Annual operating expenses were 260 million, including all guild expenses, city and resource point maintenance, warship maintenance fees, guild rewards, the salaries of officials and important life professions, etc.

It is worth mentioning that despite having 15 million members, expenses were so low because Su Yu gave up most resource points.

The guild’s core now focused only on the Thousand Star Archipelago, Ten Thousand Poison Island, and the Endless Forest Sea, two important divisions. In other places, cities were built in areas where players gathered to attract players, and resource sites were mainly left to small and medium forces.

They ate the meat, while others picked up the scraps.

The reason was simple: Thousand Star City was so profitable.

The core of the entire East Sea lay in the Thousand Star Archipelago, a key location at the center of the East Sea and a vital transport hub across the Blue Mountain Archipelago and other human regions. The first stop for large human trade associations from human civilization was here, with newly arriving pioneer players from human hinterlands transported to Thousand Star City before being distributed to various parts of Blue Mountain.

Besides Thousand Star City, no other marine areas in the East Sea had any relatively large islands or Spirit Veins, with most of the population and resources concentrated here.

The extreme concentration of population and resources naturally brought significant benefits.

At this time, he did not need to seize all the resource points but firmly controlled Thousand Star City.

Moreover, when he allocated these resource points to other players, they had enough money to spend; no matter how much they earned, they ultimately had to spend in Thousand Star City, returning the money to his hands.

He then used the money earned to purchase resources and various trophies painstakingly acquired by solo players.

After solo players earned money, they needed to spend it to enhance their strength, forming a continuous economic cycle, fueling endless growth.

After all expenses, the guild’s annual net income was an impressive 386 million gold.

In just ten short years, the guild’s total income reached 3.86 billion.

After setting aside some for the guild’s emergency fund, Su Yu personally received 20% of the total, amounting to 770 million gold.

Yes, the original president’s annual salary was 10% of the guild’s total income, but after the unification of the East Sea, following Su Huan’s proposal and receiving unanimous support, his annual salary doubled to 20%.

Besides that, when they destroyed the Feixing Sect and captured the former Feixing City, the loot exceeded 8.6 billion, with Su Yu alone taking half, 4.3 billion. Combined with the income over the decade, his current total wealth had reached an astounding 4.07 billion gold.

To Su Yu, who unified the East Sea and ruled billions of players, money was just a number.

He was not short of money, nor regular resources now.

For most of the past decade, Su Yu spent his time cultivating in the underground world with Qingchan, engaging in relentless slaughter to accumulate experience and cultivation, preparing for his journey to the Cyan Immortal Domain.

At his current strength, ordinary Earth Immortals were like chickens and dogs. In the Blue Mountain Archipelago, there was no challenge left. Su Yu’s thoughts were already elsewhere, beyond the human realm, pondering the Cyan Immortal Domain.

Since learning from Ao Run that the Other Shore Realm was the legendary Earth Immortal Realm, his thoughts had flown to the Four Great Continents, millions of miles away.

Blue Mountain Island was just a small place, with resources enough to push him only to the Earth Immortal level. To achieve Celestial Immortal, more time-consuming and gradual progress was needed, requiring further adventures.

For cultivation elsewhere, nothing was better than venturing to the Four Great Continents.

During these ten years, his frenzied slaughter was preparation for heading to the Cyan Immortal Domain.

The guild, having developed over ten years, was already on the right track, with sufficient strength to ensure stability even in his prolonged absence, allowing him to venture forth with peace of mind.

A series of thoughts swirled in his mind, and Su Yu slowly opened his eyes to look at Qingchan, who was sitting cross-legged opposite him, and said:

"We are almost ready. After things are settled, we will head to the Qingcang Sea Region."

Qingchan nodded and said:

"It has indeed become increasingly difficult to progress here; it’s time to head to a higher region."

Back at the guild, Su Yu gathered the guild executives and directly informed them that he would be going out for some training.

Gu Zhiqiu said with a smile:

"Don’t worry, Guild Leader. Our guild now has no rivals throughout the Blue Mountain Archipelago, and we have a good reputation locally. There won’t be any issues."

Su Yu glanced at Gu Zhiqiu, whose level had risen to 156, and nodded.

"With you all here, I’m at ease."

Although Gu Zhiqiu was only a mid-tier Dao Foundation, with the guild’s massive resources to support him, his level had increased quite quickly, now only four levels lower than Su Yu.

However, this level meant nothing, merely a reference.

He was only a mid-tier Dao Foundation, and the experience needed to level up wasn’t even a tenth of Su Yu’s, with a world of difference in strength—completely incomparable.

Su Yu’s gaze swept over those present: Chu Xinyue at level 167, and Chu Xiaoyu at level 152.

Second Brother Su Huan was now level 171, and Second Sister-in-law Meng Siyi was level 168.

The other core members were all around level 150, even Fourth Sister was level 142, and Ninth Brother was level 140—none of them were lacking.

With the foundation of the Thousand Star Hall, even mid-tier Dao Foundation members had the chance to step into the realm of Earth Immortals.

But it was just a chance; whether they could achieve Earth Immortal status depended on themselves.

Su Yu could now only rapidly foster Loose Immortals; he had no way to cultivate Earth Immortals.

Having arranged internal guild matters, Su Yu returned to the Fallen Star Islands.

Seventeen years had passed since the Red Tide of the Horned Demon People, and the localized conflict between humans and the Horned Demon People had ended. Su Yu returned to the military to settle his achievements, ultimately ranking third with 5.82 million merits.

The rewards were abundant and of high quality; ranking third, he could choose a Tier Ten Treasure or upgrade one of his Tier Nine Treasures to Tier Ten.

After a brief hesitation, Su Yu chose to upgrade his Nine Heavens Purple Thor Hammer to Tier Ten.

Nine Heavens Purple Thor Hammer (Tier Ten): A precious item wielding the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Power.

Thunder Strike: Activates the hammer to unleash a bolt of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, dealing 500,000 + 500% magic damage to a single target. The casting range is 100 kilometers, consuming 10,000 mana points, with attributes: Paralysis, Celestial Thunder Drives Away Demons, Thunder Blast.

Nine Heavens Thunder Kill: Connects with heaven and earth using the Purple Thor Hammer, charging for ten seconds before unleashing a bolt of thunder with 10,000,000 + 1000% magic damage bonus, paralyzing the target for 5-15 seconds. The casting range is 200 kilometers, consuming 50,000 mana, with a cooldown of 15 minutes.

Heavenly Thunder Strike: Connects with heaven and earth using the Purple Thor Hammer, charging for 60 seconds to summon a bolt of Nine Heavens Purple Thunder on all enemies within a 100-kilometer radius, consuming 300,000 mana, with a cooldown of 2 hours.

Paralysis: An attribute where the power of Celestial Thunder paralyzes the target, reducing their reaction.

Celestial Thunder Drives Away Demons: An attribute where the power of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder deals 100% additional damage to demons and ghost tools, ignoring 100% of their resistances.

Thunder Blast: Transforms Thunder Strike into a range attack, causing countless tiny lightning chains to explode from the main target, affecting all enemies within a 1,000-meter radius. This inflicts 50% damage, and the effect can be toggled on and off.

After upgrading his magical treasure, Su Yu visited Han Zhuofei again to inform him of his plan to venture into the Qingcang Sea Region for training.

"The Qingcang Sea Region?"

Han Zhuofei paused while holding a teacup, looking puzzled.

"The name sounds familiar. It seems I’ve heard it before."

Su Yu’s interest was piqued, and he immediately asked:

"Does the General know this place?"

"I have some impression, like I’ve heard someone mention it..."

He pondered for over ten seconds, then his eyes suddenly lit up as he said:

"I remember now. I heard a great general mention this place before. The Qingcang Sea Region is also called the Cyan Immortal Domain. It seems... hold on."

Han Zhuofei paused briefly and continued:

"I just checked the information on the Cyan Immortal Domain. You don’t have enough clearance, so I can’t send it to you."

"This Cyan Immortal Domain is the center of our sea region, extremely distant from us. Even Celestial Immortals need decades to make a round trip." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Su Yu was taken aback:

"That far?"

Han Zhuofei sighed and said:

"Our world is vast and boundless, unimaginably massive. Our human civilization occupies a large territory, but it’s just a tiny drop in this vast world."

"The Cyan Immortal Domain is extremely far from here, yet it is the center of this Immortal Domain. The concentration of spiritual energy, resources, and number of strong individuals there far exceed this side. Therefore, most of the top human geniuses head there in pursuit of becoming Immortals after achieving Earth Immortal status, hoping to find the opportunity for immortality there."
