“The probability of there being powerhouses from the Bloodforge Devil Hall stationed within Summerpeak World is low. At most, there might be other native civilizations in Summerpeak comparable to the Middle Land,” High Immortal Nan Yin said. “However, as the Summerpeak World recovers, it’s highly likely that powerhouses from the Bloodforge Devil Hall will appear.”
“Go with the flow,” High Immortal Nan Yin advised. “With your talent, you have the potential to rise within the Bloodforge Devil Hall.”
“Understood,” Wu Yuan nodded.
He felt a heavy burden within his heart. Although the Bloodforge Devil Hall did not truly consist of devils and followed some sort of systematic order, it adhered to the Asura Devil Path, which was completely different from the current ruling system of the Middle Land.
What would the future bring? Wu Yuan had no clue.
“It’s a pity that the Bloodforge Devil Hall has strict rules. They have numerous internal fights but absolutely do not allow external interference. Moreover, the powerhouses of this faction have very little interaction with those from the Eternal Sun Immortal World. Most of the time, they only meet on some spacetime battlefields, where more often than not, they end up fighting,” High Immortal Nan Yin shook his head.
“I have acquaintances among the immortals of the immortal world, but none from the Bloodforge Devil Hall.”
“If the Summerpeak World belonged to any faction from the Redmoon Immortal Hall or even the Silvermist Immortal Nation, I would have been able to find a way to secure it,” High Immortal Nan Yin shook his head.
“Master, you have already done so much for me,” Wu Yuan said in a low voice.
Ever since learning about the news five years ago, Wu Yuan had also done his own research into the Bloodforge Devil Hall, gaining some understanding into this powerful faction.
The main Bloodforge Devil Hall was an enormous faction on the same scale as the Eternal Sun Immortal World.
The Myriad Axes Hall, subordinate to the Silvermist Immortal Nation, was a faction smaller than the Redmoon Immortal Hall.
Meanwhile, the powerhouses of the Devil Hall rarely made appearances on the Redmoon Immortal Continent, mainly keeping to the immortal continents they occupied.
Similarly, even immortals found it difficult to get in contact with the Bloodforge Devil Hall.
“Even if the immortal ancestor intervenes, the most we can do is get them to allow your body refiner self to leave the Summerpeak world,” High Immortal Nan Yin said, “But to extract the entire Summerpeak World? I doubt he can do it, it would violate the bottom line of the Bloodforge Devil Hall.”
Wu Yuan nodded subtly.
Transferring a worldlet under the Redmoon Immortal Hall’s jurisdiction to the Dragon Star Immortal Sect was like altering the boundary of two provinces within a nation. The impact was minimal, and thus wasn’t too difficult a request. After all, they were all members of the Redmoon Immortal Hall.
But to make such a request to the Bloodforge Devil Hall?
It would be akin to adjusting the territorial boundary between two large nations. Perhaps a single blade of grass, a mountain, or a waterfall held little tangible value, but their symbolic significance was monumental. The probability of a successful negotiation was far lower.
I’m afraid this will require the help of the powerhouses from the divine court’s headquarters. Wu Yuan sighed inwardly.
Only the Taiyuan Divine Court was superior to the Bloodforge Devil Hall and the Eternal Sun Immortal Nation, which were both members of the divine court.
However, the Taiyuan Divine Court was an enormous entity spanning the vast river of time and space. Why would they help him?
If I’m the only one leaving the Summerpeak World, my master might find a way even if the price is steep. Wu Yuan was aware of this. But what about the others in the world of the Middle Land?
Billions of sentient beings lived there. Wu Yuan’s family, friends, subordinates, and so on, were all inhabitants of that world.
Even an Archimmortal couldn’t remove the Middle Land from the Summerpeak World.
Moreover, Wu Yuan dared not hope that his master or the sect’s immortal ancestor would pay such a high price for him. He wasn’t worth it yet.
Right now, I have nothing of value to offer to my master or the sect. All I have is potential. Wu Yuan dared not ask for too much.
Making constant demands would only annoy them. If he angered his master, the losses would outweigh the gains.
I’ll have to rely on myself. I refuse to believe that my body refiner self can’t find a way to survive. Wu Yuan decided.
It was better to depend on oneself than others.
…
After leaving Dragon Star, Wu Yuan went straight back to the meditation chamber in his world residence.
With a thought, a strand of consciousness entered the Dragon Star Immortal Voidrealm.
Mirage Dragon City.
I’ll first redeem all the sword art manuals that Master mentioned. Wu Yuan made up his mind and quickly began to search them up.
“Heir Li Xia, you are redeeming a total of fifty-eight sword art manuals for 3.67 million dragon crystals. Do you confirm?” A gentle voice echoed in Wu Yuan’s mind.
Wu Yuan slightly frowned. It was rather expensive, given that they were only at the Void Refiner level.
However, thinking back to his master’s words, they were all top-tier manuals of this level.
Wu Yuan paused for a brief moment, then declared, “Confirm.”
…
Returning to his personal hall, he immediately saw the dense swarm of virtual immortal slips hovering in mid-air. Each of these virtual immortal slips was a sword manual.
Wu Yuan began to study the inheritances one by one.
How unexpectedly impressive. The Gravity Dao can be utilized in this way?
The profundity of the Land!
Stars, returning to the source…this sword technique is worth it! How extraordinary!
Information from the sword inheritances flowed through his mind one after another.
It was an eye-opening experience for Wu Yuan.
These sword arts were not too profound. With a little contemplation, Wu Yuan could understand about 30-40% of the techniques, and even 60-70% for some.
But he had to admit, his master indeed knew what he was talking about. Each of these sword manuals had its unique aspects.
Some expounded on combining the profundities of the Dao from novel angles, while others detailed the flawless execution of a sword art. Then there were those that seamlessly integrated the basics with profound insights.
They are indeed worth every dragon crystal spent. Wu Yuan’s eyes sparkled.
Just by reading through these inheritances once, he had resolved many of his previous conundrums while comprehending the Dao.
Sometimes, a change in perspective can lead to breakthroughs. The same goes for Dao comprehension.
Wu Yuan believed that with the help of these sword manuals, his growth would surely accelerate.
Two hours later, he fully memorized all fifty-eight sword arts.
Wu Yuan then accessed the sect’s treasury from the voidrealm.
Ordinary treasures could be purchased at the Dragon Treasure Tower, but the sect’s treasury held special treasures that were nearly impossible to purchase with ethercrystal alone. These were unique treasures painstakingly collected by the sect.
Before long, Wu Yuan spotted the Dragonsoul Crystal Bead his master had mentioned.
Dragonsoul Crystal Bead: Special treasure. Absorbing the Dragonsoul within greatly nourishes the soul. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Redemption requirement: Ten million dragon crystals.
Special requirement: Limited to the winner of the Dragon Star Tournament. This item may only be redeemed once.
Wu Yuan quickly skimmed through the description.
It could be summarized in three words – Good! Very good!
Ten million dragon crystals. How expensive. Wu Yuan grumbled inwardly.
Still, he didn’t hesitate to redeem them. Since it was his master’s instruction, it was most likely the right move.
What Wu Yuan didn’t know was that this Dragonsoul Crystal Bead would command its weight in divine crystals if placed for sale in the Silvermist Immortal Nation or even the Eternal Sun Immortal World. It was a truly rare treasure.
In the entire Redmoon Immortal Continent, only the Dragon Star Immortal Sect possessed it. Ten million dragon crystals? It was practically free.
It will be delivered to my world residence within three days? Watching ten million dragon crystals deducted from his account, Wu Yuan felt a pang in his chest.
His newly acquired rewards, gone in an instant.
Once I reach the ninth-stage Golden Core phase, I can upgrade my lifebound flying sword to third-grade spirit weapons. I must prepare in advance.
Wu Yuan swiftly headed for the Dragon Treasure Tower in Greendragon City and began to purchase the necessary treasures.
130 million catties of ethercrystal was an astronomical figure for a Golden Core cultivator, yet just enough to refine nine lifebound flying swords to the third grade. It was just barely enough for Wu Yuan’s needs.
…
Days flew by.
As Wu Yuan started to use his newly acquired resources to further strengthen his qi refiner self’s power, news about the Dragon Star Immortal Sect’s Dragon Star Tournament spread rapidly across the immortal continent.
When Wu Yuan challenged the one-star tower, there was no broadcast of the battle recordings. Furthermore, voidrealm battles were not real-world battles, thus they hadn’t garnered much attention.
Comparatively, when Wu Yuan became the ‘nominal disciple of the Archimmortal’, it created a greater sensation.
As for the Dragon Star Tournament, it was a grand event with tens of millions of spectators, if not more.
During the final showdown between Wu Yuan and Hao Shanjing, both employed Intermediate Laws, engaging in head-on clashes. With such displays of power, news of the battle spread like wildfire.
…
Inside a vast hall, a base of the Moonsilver World located in the Redmoon Immortal Voidrealm, seven figures convened.
A massive light screen projected the intense battle between Wu Yuan and Hao Shanjing.
“All six of you, watch closely. They are merely sect disciples, while you are the talents of my Moonsilver World. On top of that, their cultivation periods are extremely short.” Mountain Master Xu coldly stated. “Do you think you can defeat them?”
Silence filled the air.
“Think hard, all of you. The Moonsilver Tournament is only a decade away. I do not wish to see every last one of you fail to get into the top ten,” Mountain Master Xu said coldly, striding out of the grand hall.
The six Golden Core geniuses were left behind, exchanging glances.
“I’m not confident that I can beat any of them. They’re too strong. How did these Golden Core cultivators step through the threshold of Intermediate Laws?” A youth in black robes shook his head.
“I heard that Hao Shanjing has been specially recruited. He will be joining us soon.”
“I consider my strength to be on par with theirs, but breaking into the top ten of the Moonsilver Tournament? The Silvermist Immortal Nation will send ten geniuses,” another middle-aged man in white robes shook his head.
“Great Senior Brother, what about you? Are you confident?” A young woman in white robes asked, looking towards the young man in red armor standing the furthest away.
“Great Senior Brother.” The rest turned their gazes toward the young man in red armor, their eyes filled with admiration.
He was indisputably the strongest among the six.
“Defeating the two of them won’t be hard. However, this Li Xia has only cultivated for fifty years, while I’ve been cultivating for over 130 years,” the young man in red armor spoke lightly, “Even if I win, it’s nothing to be proud of.”
“Everyone should focus on cultivating. For the Amethyst Cradle battle, we have Senior Sister Haiyue.”
“But for the Golden Core battle, our opponents are not only Li Xia and Hao Shanjing, but also the top geniuses from the Silvermist Immortal Nation.” The young man in red armor walked out of the grand hall.
“They are our real opponents.”
