459: Thirty thousand tenth-grade monks!

However, this was only the first layer of the world.

How much richer would the second layer of the world be?

Although Guo Feng was incredibly shocked, he maintained his basic composure on the surface.

He said indifferently, “Alright, what about the cultivators?”

Rui Tian quickly replied, “There are 35,182 registered Tenth-rank cultivators, 87,822 late Ninth-rank cultivators, 176,354 mid-Ninth-rank cultivators, and 353,273 early Ninth-rank cultivators.”

“Oh?”

Guo Feng was overjoyed to hear this.

Talent is sometimes more important than wealth.

There are over 35,000 Tenth-rank cultivators?

And over 600,000 Ninth-rank cultivators combined?

Good heavens, if they were to combine forces, wouldn't they sweep through the Yan Yang Empire again and again?

Not to mention anything else, just the Tenth-rank cultivators alone were extremely extraordinary.

He continued to ask calmly, “What about Seventh-rank and Eighth-rank cultivators?”

Rui Tian replied again, “Reporting to Master, there are over fifty million Eighth-rank cultivators and over nine hundred million Seventh-rank cultivators.”

Guo Feng was astonished when he heard these numbers.

However, thinking back, with hundreds of billions of people here, they are born with Fifth-rank cultivation.

Such numbers were not surprising.

Calculating it, their cultivation was not that easy after all.

Born at Fifth-rank, with hundreds of billions of people, yet there were still fewer than a billion Seventh-rank powerhouses.

Nevertheless, even so, it was enough.

“Alright, I understand. I will come to you when I need something. Now, I’m going to the treasury. You all continue to operate this world according to the rules.”

Guo Feng now had a general understanding of the first layer of the Haotian World.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling Rui Tian and the others to leave.

After Rui Tian and the others respectfully departed, he instantly teleported to the depths of the Haotian Palace.

He was the master of the Haotian Pagoda.

Every part of the Haotian Pagoda was open to him.

Therefore, although this treasury had a powerful barrier, it automatically opened as he walked past it.

“Holy cow, this is too much, isn’t it?!”

As soon as he entered the treasury, his eyes widened.

What met his gaze were densely packed semi-immortal stones, pills, magic treasures, spirit talismans, and more.

These were all the finest and top-tier treasures meticulously selected by the various empires in the first layer of the Haotian World.

Each category had 128,000 items.

All of them were top-tier existences.

The pills were all supreme-grade spirit pills.

The magic treasures were all Tenth-rank spirit artifacts.

These were all his private collection. After a moment of hesitation, he waved his hand and collected all these items into his own space.

After all, his space was the safest place in this world.

Unless he died, no one could take treasures from within it.

The only drawback was that if he died, these treasures would be sealed within this space, drifting in the void.

Only when a fated person, like finding a needle in a haystack, encountered them, would these treasures possibly see the light of day again.

However, at this moment, he didn't think that much.

Keeping them by his side was the most convenient.

In an instant, his wealth surged by over ten billion spirit stones.

“Awesome!”

After Guo Feng plundered the treasury, his figure flickered, and he returned to the main hall throne of the palace. “Rui Tian, come here.”

“Master, I’m here.”

Rui Tian arrived almost instantly.

Guo Feng smiled and said, “Gather ten Tenth-rank cultivators for me. They will accompany me outside as my guards.”

“Yes! That would be their honor!”

Rui Tian was ecstatic. “I will arrange it immediately!”

After saying that, he bowed and turned to fly into the distance.

Afterward, several almost perfect-looking Tenth-rank female cultivators nervously and ingratiatingly brought over platters of spirit fruits and spirit wine, brimming with spiritual energy.

Then, they played exotic string music on the spot.

These female cultivators were clearly very skilled in music.

They immediately transported Guo Feng into a beautiful environment, with notes flowing like water through his heart.

This was simply a pleasure.

His recent mental fatigue was swept away.

“Does Dad know if he’s doing this? But he really knows how to enjoy himself, doesn’t he?”

Guo Feng thought while tapping his fingers to the melody.

If his father, who had already become an Immortal Emperor, was known by his mother to be listening to female cultivators play string music here...

And being able to take whatever he wanted, ask for whatever he desired...

Would his father be scolded by his mother while having his ear twisted?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

However, what he didn't know was, how could Haotian Immortal Emperor possibly be interested in coming to the first layer of the Haotian Realm?

About an hour later.

Rui Tian flew over with fifty Tenth-rank cultivators dressed in white spirit robes, exuding powerful auras.

He bowed, “Master, the Tenth-rank cultivators from the lower realm heard they could serve Master and all signed up. I have selected fifty of them and brought them for Master to inspect and choose.”

“Greetings, Master!”

These fifty Tenth-rank cultivators were almost all powerhouses close to the peak of the Tenth-rank.

They carried themselves with extraordinary bearing.

However, upon seeing Guo Feng, they all showed reverence, but their eyes also held a hint of expectation.

It seemed that being chosen by Guo Feng, even if it meant death, was a supreme honor.

Guo Feng’s gaze swept over them: fifty Tenth-rank cultivators, thirty males, and twenty females.

Although they were filled with awe towards him, it was clear at a glance that they held esteemed positions in the lower realm.

They were all patriarchs, elders, and prodigies from various factions.

They were probably people whose single word could change the fate of tens of thousands.

He smiled, “Since you have all come, it is also a form of destiny. Then all of you shall accompany me outside. However, there are too many of you, so I want to change your names. Are you willing?”

“It is our honor for Master to bestow names upon us!”

Everyone quickly replied.

Guo Feng nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a surge of Great Five Elements Power swept forth.

On the chests of these fifty people, names such as ‘Hao One’, ‘Hao Er’, ‘Hao Twenty-Five’, and ‘Hao Fifty’ appeared respectively.

To be honest, although these people were all living, real individuals.

And, down below, they were certainly influential figures.

However, in Guo Feng’s eyes, they were more like tools.

There were too many people, and their names were too varied, making them difficult for him to remember.

So, he directly bestowed names in this manner.

Just as he was somewhat worried that these people might harbor resentment, they instead showed joy, delighted beyond measure.

They all knelt on the ground and said in unison, “Thank you, Master, for bestowing names upon us!”

Rui Tian also quickly said, “Everyone, to be bestowed the surname ‘Hao’ by Master is a tremendous honor for you all, and your sects and families will also receive immense benefits. From now on, you must exert your utmost effort to fulfill Master’s commands and never disappoint Master!”

“We will certainly exert our utmost effort!”

Everyone shouted in unison.

Guo Feng was stunned for a moment but then understood. Within the Haotian Pagoda World, ‘Hao’ was an honorable surname.

To be granted this surname was a great honor.

These people, at a glance, were not faking it; they were genuinely happy!

He was completely relieved and waved his hand, “Alright, since that’s the case, you all will come out with me!”

“Yes!”

Everyone quickly agreed.

Guo Feng then led everyone directly out of the Haotian Pagoda, returning to Guo Wang City through the entrance.

As soon as they returned to the main hall.

The entire Guo Wang City was completely shaken!
