“We’ll take a look around first.” Hong Renxi looked at the shopkeeper in surprise and couldn’t help but wonder.
The shopkeeper’s performance was too respectful.
He did not have any particularly noble status on Chongyang Star.
Hong Renxu, on the other hand, looked like he was used to it. He followed behind Hong Renxi and strolled around the shop.
Ninth Uncle, who was hiding in the void, became a little vigilant. He realized that this inconspicuous shopkeeper was actually a Sage.
A Sage realm expert was actually a shopkeeper here!
Has the number of Sages on Chongyang Star already reached this level?!
“Brother, don’t worry. This is how I treat my guests.” At this moment, Ninth Uncle suddenly heard the shopkeeper’s voice.
“You can discover me?!” Ninth Uncle was shocked by this and looked at the shopkeeper in disbelief. He was a Sage King and had used a secret technique to hide himself. How could he be discovered by a mere Sage?
Brother, there’s no need to be surprised. This is a shop of the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect. Immortal Cui has installed a special law here.” The shopkeeper smiled and said, “As a shopkeeper, I have the ability to see through some illusions and hide in the shop. Not to mention a Sage King, even a Creator can’t hide from my eyes.”
“…” Ninth Uncle fell silent when he heard this, and he was extremely shocked in his heart. What arrogance. If even a Creator could not hide from him, then who was the so-called Immortal Cui?
“This is all for the safety of the shop. Brother, don’t worry,” the shopkeeper added, looking very dutiful.
This shopkeeper was Xiang Baili.
It was the Limitless Golden Immortal who was the first to bid when Pei Qingshu sold the second batch of Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill. He directly spent the price of six Sage Armaments to buy the first Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill.
He originally wanted to use this opportunity to revive the sect, but unfortunately, the number of Myriad Techniques Return to One Pills that had been sold were too many.
Not long after the sale ended, people from outside the realm also came to Chongyang Star to buy the Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill.
From then on, the entire Five Views Realm became chaotic, and the number of Sages increased. A single Sage could not cause any trouble at all.
This made Xiang Baili a little depressed. He simply gave up on the plan to revive the sect and decided to change his plan to hug the thigh of the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect.
He should have a much brighter future like this.
Hence, he came to Hundred Sage City and became the first Sage-level shopkeeper of the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect.
Even Pei Qingshu had never encountered such a thing as a Sage realm shopkeeper.
As a result, Xiang Baili, who was originally not very outstanding among the Sages, naturally became the focus of attention. He even obtained Pei Qingshu’s special permission to enter the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect once every three years to listen to the Dao teachings.
Although the person giving the lecture was Pei Qingshu, his realm was very special. He was still at the Sage level but he already had the characteristics of a Dao Body. With this, it was enough to benefit a “small” Sage like Xiang Baili a lot.
From then on, Xiang Baili became a loyal supporter of the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect and tried his best to run the shop. No matter who came through the door, he would welcome them with a smile and a respectful attitude.
If one did not know him well, they would not think that this amiable shopkeeper was a Sage.
“Shopkeeper, do you have any books about the Golden Cloud Realm?” At this moment, Hong Renxi walked over and asked politely, “I’ve heard some legends about the Golden Cloud Realm and am rather interested.”
“Yes, it’s…” Xiang Baili was about to point it out to Hong Renxi when his voice suddenly stopped and he subconsciously looked at the sky outside.
It was dark!
“Why did the sky turn dark?” Hong Renxu ran to the door of the shop in confusion. He looked up at the sky and asked, “Is this some kind of Dao Validation phenomenon?”
“Divine Son, come back quickly!” Ninth Uncle directly appeared and pulled Hong Renxu back. He looked outside in shock and said with a trembling voice, “This, this aura, this, what is this?!”
“It’s Immortal Cui!” Xiang Baili was overjoyed. He smiled and said, “This is Immortal Cui’s aura. Is he going to optimize the nomological Dao runes of Chongyang Star again?”
….
On the icy plain in the extreme north.
This should have been the period of half a year of extreme daylight in this place, but now it was pitch black.
Gao Shou looked at the sky that had suddenly turned dark in shock. His entire body began to tremble as he muttered, “Is this a realm breakthrough? What kind of realm breakthrough is so exaggerated?”
He could clearly feel that the current phenomenon was only the prelude. The true phenomenon had yet to begin.
However, just this aura was enough to make him tremble in fear.
He felt that if he touched even a little bit of power at this level, he would instantly be reduced to ashes!
It was too terrifying!
….
In the Plague Imperial Palace.
Zhu Changsheng rushed out of the Myriad Poison Pool with a bang. He looked up at the dark sky in shock and said, “It’s Immortal Venerable. He’s breaking through now!
“But what realm is Immortal Venerable at? He actually broke through again. Moreover, the aura of this breakthrough is too shocking. I’m afraid even the legendary ruler of everything is only so-so.
Is this the Eighth Realm, or the legendary Ninth Realm? I, I was actually working for such a great existence. Fortunately, I didn’t become enemies with him!”
As the Sect Master of the Plague Imperial Palace, he clearly knew a lot more than Gao Shouxin.
However, the more he knew, the more he understood how powerful and terrifying the aura revealed by this phenomenon was.
The more terrified he was!
….
Above the clouds.
The Chongyang Star God appeared and looked at his dark surroundings in shock. He muttered, “Unbelievable! There’s actually such a phenomenon in the world?!”
As a Star God at the Sage King level, he could see the situation of the “darkness” even more clearly.
This was not the usual sense of covering the sky and turning day into night.
Instead, it directly absorbed all the light that shone from the universe to Chongyang Star. At the same time, it controlled all the Great Dao laws, preventing them from revealing any light.
The essence of the dark phenomenon was absolute control over the laws of Chongyang Star.
This level of control was too terrifying. It could almost be said the Heavenly Dao of Chongyang Star could control any place on Chongyang Star at will.
Whether it was on the physical level or the nomological level, they were all under his control.
“This is only the prelude to the Dao Validation phenomenon!” The Chongyang Star God was amazed in his heart. At this moment, he even felt like kneeling down and kowtowing.
“Immortal Venerable is almighty!”
….
In the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect.
Hui Shi, who was helping Pei Qingshu handle various official matters, and Li Cheng, who was sorting out the books, also looked up at the sky. Then, their faces revealed surprise.
“Has Immortal Venerable taken another step forward?” Li Cheng was amazed. “Even someone as powerful as Immortal Venerable is still working hard. It’s really admirable.”
“Yes.” Hui Shi nodded and sighed. “From the day I met Sir, all his actions were for cultivation. Only then can he be a True Dao expert!”
….
In Luling City.
Cui Heng was still in the ordinary courtyard.
He sat cross-legged in the air, his eyes slightly closed, faintly emitting an undying golden light. Purple qi that contained endless profound laws began to wrap around his body.
At this moment, a purple-gold light lit up between his brows. The young infant in his Niwan Palace suddenly stretched its body and stood up. It was already the size of an adult.
Now that the Nascent Soul had grown up, countless knowledge transformed into mysterious runes that flowed on his body that was filled with purple-gold light. They bloomed with endless light and illuminated the Purple Mansion Golden Hall to reality.
Peak of the Nascent Soul realm!!
Cui Heng’s slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
Like an ancient god sleeping in chaos, it opened its eyes, and an undying purple-gold light bloomed.
Endless Great Dao, endless Dharma and Logos were clearly reflected in his eyes.
Even the source of everything was clearly visible.
At the same time, layers of light and shadows began to appear in the sky above Chongyang Star.
This was an unknown place that was intertwined with billions of Great Dao laws.
Now, it was illuminated by the purple-gold light and reflected in everyone’s eyes.
Dao Validation phenomenon!
The Heavens have manifested!
