Seducing Goddesses With My Infinite Wealth

Sleipnir Field City

Following the flashbang, all the cultivators rubbed their eyes, for their vision was impaired. Their vital energy and Qi were depleted by the earlier divine bomb, leaving everybody exhausted and dizzy.

The name "Divine Bombs" came from their effects, not from the divine shards. Within 100 kilometers of the trigger point, all cultivators, artifacts, spirit stones, karma coins, and similar resources would be drained of their energies. A direct hit would shatter a cultivator's dantian, ending their cultivation journey. Even a saint would be reduced to that of a commoner instantly.

Compared to karmic weapons, which focused on destroying souls, divine bombs were more damning for cultivators. To them, losing their cultivation was the same as dying.

However, they were lucky that the bomb was activated within the Sleipnir Field City's territory.

The bright light from the divine bomb faded. Surrounding the city, the saint-grade array hummed after it neutralized half the divine bomb's destructive power. Still, damages had been done.

Some mortals and immortals, though, might require years to restore their depleted Qi. Some cultivators with weak foundations felt their strength becoming unstable and needed immediate seclusion.

Xia Chen was in a similar state to other immortals. His dantian was empty, and he lost all his items, artifacts, and storage rings.

Being naked and helpless, Xia Chen inhaled deeply, gathering energy in the area. However, there was none. The bomb erased all Qi in the city, even though they were within the protective array.

Every cultivator was suffocated. Despite being dizzy and exhausted, everybody focused on consuming their life-saving items to restore their Qi.

But again, the bomb rendered all their storage rings useless. All their rings turned into normal rings, and their items in the pocket dimension were lost!

"WHO THE HELL DID THIS?!" One of the immortals bellowed.

"SOMEONE USED A DIVINE BOMB! WHICH CLAN DID IT?!"

All immortals were enraged. They looked around for a suspicious individual. Some angry youths grabbed nearby pedestrians and yelled in their faces, while many drew their weapons.

Not long after, the sky brightened. The array displayed a brief video clip of the culprit, who activated the divine bomb. The sound of the city lord echoed throughout the city.

"My name is Faun, and I am the Lord of Sleipnir. Earlier, someone had violated the city's great laws and activated a divine bomb in the city. Our array has caught his face and recorded his name. I shall now disclose his information to all!"

The face of Fu Tong emerged in the sky. The dome also revealed his name, "Sun Wukong".

Xiao Shashen looked up and frowned deeply. He was confused.

"Sun Wukong? Not Lu Bu?"

His comrade whispered. "Lu Bu might be a fake name. Our spies told us that nobody with that name is within the Crescent Lu Clan's records. He's either a rogue immortal or that might be his real name."

Xiao Shashen nodded. He wished he could divine Fu Tong's karma and learn more about him. However, he didn't have the energy to do so.

He turned his attention to Xia Chen, who was cursed into a Yeti. Many tamers who had lost their powers still gawked at the furry giant, coveting him as a pet.

While being dizzy, Xia Chen roared.

"I AM XIA CHEN, THE NEW PATRIARCH OF THE XIA CLAN! TO YOU DUMB TAMERS, STAND DOWN!"

All tamers flinched. Some still coveted the rare beast, but many didn't dare to provoke the Xia Clan. Meanwhile, Xiao Shashen's team regrouped with Xia Chen, protecting the Yeti.

While everybody couldn't use Qi or storage rings, opportunists stirred chaos. Fights and murders broke out throughout the city, for everybody had an enemy or two that they wanted dead.

Xiao Shashen gazed at Xia Chen and warned them.

"Let's enter the building for now. We should not linger here for too long."

"What about that man, Sun Wukong?" Xia Chen groaned.

"Forget it. He's now a wanted man. That half-horse immortal Faun will deal with him. We just need to stay low and recuperate."

"…This will take years. The Qi in this world is thin, and we've lost all items in our storage rings."

Xiao Shashen paused to think. A moment later, he smirked.

"We can just rob some mortals outside the city. Let's recover some Qi first, and we'll go plundering."

"…"

Xia Chen nodded in agreement. He and his group disappeared inside the building.

Meanwhile, Fu Tong remained in the dimensional farm world. He had been working on the farms and the new toy, which he couldn't use before. It was the automaton factory mod that Fu Tong had unlocked long ago, since he had completed the 1-3 scenario quest.

Automaton Factory Headquarters

Requirements: 1,000 Divine Shards, Quasi-Saint Stage or Higher.

The original mod didn't need this. But after the casualty correction, the cost shot up and forced him to wait for the resources.

Fu Tong smiled bitterly. He knew that as soon as he built this factory, this tranquil farm world would become populated and overrun with mannequin robots. He might not be able to chill in this quiet resort with his wives anymore.

"I need active people to look after the new Fusang Trees here. This can't be helped."

Fu Tong pressed the construction button on the mod management menu. An acre of land turned black, and a timer emerged in the sky.

99 Years, 11 Months, 29 Days, 23 Hours, 59 Minutes, 59 Seconds…

He shook his head and laughed. Fortunately, the timer flowed according to the farm dimension's standard. He could simply leave the dimension and come back a few seconds later. Then, the countdown would be over.

However, Fu Tong chose not to. He had something else to do. He visited the crystal sunflower field, where he had buried the Mushroom of Resentment.

He found a 50-meter-tall black beanstalk rising in the middle of the sunflowers. The mushroom evolved nicely, as he had predicted.

The beanstalk also produced black peaches. Unlike the Peach of Rebirth, these fruits gave opposite effects, and they were rich in Yin Qi. Those who consumed the black peaches would lose all their cultivation and memory. Their souls would return to the River of Karma.

However, saints and sages could play with these fruits. By extracting liquid from the black peaches, Fu Tong could obtain a potent curse-removal elixir.

Fu Tong grinned and gazed at the beanstalk, proud of his creations.

"After countless years, it appears."

Purgatory Beanstalk (Sage Grade)

The Purgatory Beanstalk originates from the Mushroom of Resentment and only grows in the extreme plane full of Yin Qi. It usually requires a million years for the mushroom to mutate into a purgatory beanstalk.

Once matured, a purgatory beanstalk produces 'Peaches of Purgatory', but the fruits can never be harvested by normal means. Only holy individuals who have consumed the Peach of Rebirth can touch the peaches of purgatory without being affected by the 'Purgatory Curse'. Without the rebirth peach, those who try will melt into black liquid, their souls devoured by the purgatory beanstalk.

The Purgatory Beanstalk is also semi-sentient. It possesses a will, and it will harm anybody whom it doesn't like. While it is a plant monster, it possesses the same strength as a low-level sage, and it cannot be destroyed or harmed by those with a weaker cultivation.

Effects:

- Semi-sentient. Will kill anybody who has never consumed a peach of rebirth.

- Automatically producing 1,000 Peaches of Purgatory every year.

- Automatically generating Divine Yin Qi.

- Cannot be destroyed as long as a peach of purgatory is attached to the stalk.

- Immune to all damages from those whose cultivation is lower than the sage realm.

- Can travel across dimensions.

- Can be stored in an Inventory System.

- Will follow and serve the person whom it acknowledges as its benefactor or creator.
