Noah knew that he had to hurry and collect all the information about Profound Formations from the 4 great sacred grounds.
He also needed to collect some fuel as his current reserve was almost depleted. He needed some fuel to fulfil his promise with Dongxue.
Noah was in a hurry, so he used his full speed to reach his destination. With his Divine Soul Realm cultivation, he seemed like a beam of light.
Noah started with the 'Sun Moon Divine Hall' as this sect has a powerful sealing art and was 3rd strongest among the 4 great sacred grounds.
It took Noah less than an hour to reach the sect's location. Looking at the imposing buildings and Profound Formation, even Noah understood the meaning of the deep accumulation over a long time.
The four great sacred grounds really exploited the whole continent of high-ranking resources. By the standers of this planet, it was quite rich.
Noah only observed the sect for some moment and then released some of his aura. His aura alone caused all the buildings to shake. He was in his black demon getup, with a black mask and black robe.
When all the sect noticed his arrival, some powerful aurae flared from the core of the sacred ground.
"Who dares to be arrogant in front of my Sun Moon Divine Hall!" The one with the most powerful aura roared as all of the 5 powerhouses rushed toward his location.
"Shut up!" Noah only said this then all 5 powerhouses felt their mentality shaken.
Noah observed them for a while, 2 were 10th level and 3 were at the 9th level of Monarch level. Noah's gaze made them shiver all over.
"You mortals are really courageous to speak like that in front of me." Noah said as he increased the pressure on the 5 people.
Hearing Noah's response, all of their thoughts were moving at lightning speed. The term 'mortal' shook them to the core.
"Senior, we...." One of the 10th level Monarch wanted to explain but Noah cut him off.
"I don't need your explanation. If I want to kill you, there is nothing stopping me. I will only say that I want some of your resources and all of your profound techniques. In exchange, I will modify some of your cultivation techniques and help one of you in stepping out of the 9 mortal realms." Noah just said his terms.
Just as they were processing what Noah said to them, Noah added something.
"And you have no choice. If I don't have something important to take care of, I will not even come to this poor place. Now hurry up and start moving. I will keep my promise to you."
5 people looked among themselves for a moment and then the most powerful one spoke.
"Senior, even though you are powerful....." He did not even finish his protest when he saw Noah Moving his finger and beam of sword energy shoot out of it and a mountain a few tens of kilometers away exploded.
Noah looked at the person as if daring him to finish his sentence.
"...We will listen to senior." He spoke again.
"You mortals are really daring. Now hurry up, I have to another peak sect of this small continent." Noah was acting mysterious on purpose to get it done in a small amount of time.
Noah was led by the powerhouses for some time and Noah took 40% of their treasury and all of their techniques. It only provided Noah with a small amount of fuel.
As he looted the sect, the other elders and leaders of the sect came. Noah listened to some of their discussions, but kept silent. Some elders wanted to protest, but Noah did not even have to move to shut them up.
When he was almost done with his looting, he looked at some of the unwilling and resentful looks, some were releasing killing intent at a small amount.
"You mortals are really something, killing intent and hatred against me. Divine Envoy Heavens Equal, Heavenly Monarch, you have these titles despite being mortals. I even gave you something in exchange for these pitiful resources, even then you have the audacity to have killing intention against me. Really bold!" Noah said in a disdainful tone.
He was about to do something to demonstrate his power, but suddenly a young person came to the gathering. He had 2 barely clothed females beside him and he was grouping them, even as they were walking.
"Father, Xinghan greets you and all the Divine Envoys." He said to the elders and his father, who was the leader of the sect here.
"Father, who is this person...." He wanted to ask about Noah while pointing a finger at him.
"Really good! Now even an ant, who cultivates heretic arts disrespects me." Noah said his aura exploded. All the people of negative feelings against him were pressed on the ground.
"Senior!"
"Please have mercy senior!"
Some elders and divine envoys pleaded for the people. They thought that Noah will kill them all.
Noah did not pay them any attention and using his terrifying profound energy control, he directly crippled some of the more disrespecting people. Then he lifted the Divine hall young master and the person was floated up to him.
"You are really the evil seed of this sect. Just by looking at your profound energy, I can tell imagine the number of women you have harmed. I will change this for you." Noah said. His hands moved and some sort of energy drilled into the head of the Ye Xinghan, who wanted to say something but could not even make any noise.
"From now on, you will have the thought of being harmed by another man because only this will give you pleasure. All the people who have clouded with you, will have your greatest interest." Noah released him after saying this.
He just modified some portion of his brain and Soul Essence, using the Origin Orb. It was a temporary effect that will last for a decade. He also took the storage ring to look for the Dual cultivation art and others for now they did not need these rings.
"Don't say something if you want to face my wrath. I will return with the things I promised after some time. I also want you to inform what happened here to the other 3 peak powers. Don't play any tricks about misinformation, I don't have any time to waste on you. Tell them Black Demon is coming." Noah said and took off to rush to another sect.
The people of the Sun Moon Divine Hall were felt conflicted after the whole ordeal, but it was not like they could do anything to Noah. They were very scared after looking at the result of the Divine Hall Young Master.
..........
Noah went to the Absolute Monarch Sanctuary next. They were the number one among the 4 sects. Just by showing some of my power, they were convinced.
Noah gave them the same offer. 40% resources and all techniques then he will modify some of them and help one of them advance to divine way.
Despite being the Strongest among the 4, they did not have any special for Noah.
Noah took care of this sect in a half-day, he then went for the next target.
........
His next target was the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. Noah knew about the existence of the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword in the sect and their upcoming plot.
He knew about the history of this sword and the secret that it carries. It was made by Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign, who was at the True God realm at his peak.
Moon Slaughter Devil Sovereign was king of the Eternal Night Devil Clan and after being sealed by the Evil God at the end of the war, he placed the soul of his son in the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword. It was his backup plan for being released with the help of the sword.
A sword with such history was now in the hands of sect with some peak level monarch. Such a weapon will be a rare treasure, even in the Realm of Gods. The Blue pole star, planet is really something else.
Noah let these thoughts pass through as he went toward the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. His arrival was announced by the heavy pressure that appeared on the sect.
It only took some time for 4 figures to rush out of the sect. Noah observed them and their cultivation at the peak of the monarch level.
"Greetings senior. Welcome to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. I, Xuanyuan Wentian welcome senior to this humble sect." Xuanyuan Wentian spoke in a very humble manner.
With Noah's perception, it was very easy to detect fluctuation of Xuanyuan Wentian's heart. He understood that there was some hidden plot here.
"Lead the way to your treasury and don't waste my time." Noah only replied indifferently.
Noah felt a wave of ill intent from Xuanyuan Wentian for a moment but it was concealed pretty quickly.
'Treating these big bosses from the story of the novel, like a servant is really refreshing. Maybe I should go out more and enjoy after settling Dongxue's issue.' Noah thought.
Noah kept following them for a while and arrived at the some big hall, where many elders were hidden. Just as Noah arrived in the middle of the hall, a restrictive Profound formation activated and tried to seal his power.
Xuanyuan Wentian, who was standing near Noah laughed out loud.
"You never thought that we....." Xuanyuan Wentian began to speak but Noah did not have time to listen to his BS.
"The big villain speech is really weird. I don't understand, why others allow them to speak so much?" Noah's bored voice cut off Xuanyuan Wentian speech.
Looking at Xuanyuan Wentian standing in front of him with a black sword. Noah made his move. Terrifying pressure made it impossible for Xuanyuan Wentian to move and then a sword energy cut of the arm that was wielding the sword.
Noah looked the black sword that he took from the Xuanyuan Wentian's hand. It gave of a very dark vibe.
"So you were depending on the spirit of this Devil sword. Well, now that you made a move against me. It is time for your punishment. Accept it otherwise it will be the destruction of the whole sect." Noah said in a very calm voice.
With a wave of Noah's hand, the other hand of Xuanyuan Wentian was severed.
"I will take 70% of your resources and all of your techniques. The exchange offer that was given to other 3 sects, will not be available for you instead your sect will continue to exist. Do you accept?" Noah spoke as looked at Xuanyuan Wentian's eyes.
Xuanyuan Wentian only nodded in the response. Cutting both of the hands of a sword cultivator was worse than death.
Noah paid no heeds to the resentment of the people here and took 70% of the resources. He took off after finishing this affair.
Noah looked at the Devil sword, Heavenly Sin Divine Sword and put it in the pocket dimension that he created at the Monarch level (Wiki- Monarchs can create their own Pocket Dimension for storage).
......
The Supreme Ocean Palace did not give any sort of trouble to Noah. Maybe they learned about the condition of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region from their spies.
It was good for Noah. This sect was relatively rich compared to other 3 as they operated the Black Moon Merchant Guild.
From the story of the novel, the Sovereign of he Seas of the Supreme Ocean Palace, Qu Fengyi was portrayed as greedy person ( From Novel Plot-She got greedy for Yun che's Mirror of Samsara but got her cultivation crippled at the end) but it was not a problem for Noah. She was somewhat meek and submissive in front of his power.
A/N- Yun Che was stupid, who shows off on of the 7 heavenly treasures by wearing them like some necklace.
Noah knew about her selfishness from her responses and her actions after he arrived at the sect.
After collecting everything from here. Noah had Qu Fengyi guide him to the Sealing place of the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest.
'Well, it is time to finish the last step.' Noah thought as looked at the sealing formation of the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest.
