That's right!
The wealth Dawan Village could bring was certainly good.
But for him now,
even without this source of income, it wouldn't have much of an impact on his breakthrough to the Soul Emergence Realm.
The existence of Dawan Village could indeed bring him a considerable income of Spirit Stones.
Having more Spirit Stones could provide more assistance,
but in reality,
many of the things related to advancing to the Soul Emergence Realm couldn't be bought with Spirit Stones alone anymore.
And the threat the First Lady posed to him was based entirely within the framework of the Tian Nan Shen Clan.
As long as he dared to abandon everything and leave the shelter of the Shen Family's great tree, she couldn't pose much of a threat to him at all.
The worst-case scenario...
was only this.
'Besides, if I reveal my strength at the Ninth Layer Peak, perhaps the family's upper echelon will look upon me more favorably and offer some protection?'
