"Despicable! Despicable! Investigate! Must investigate thoroughly! Find out where this sudden intruder came from. Daring to offend me, I will let him know what it means for life to be worse than death!"
In the air, sitting on the massive chariot speeding among the white clouds, True Monarch Pagoda's Young Master Qi currently had an ashen face. Waves of freezing killing intent burst forth from his body. The surrounding black-clad burly men "Black Nightmare Guards" all shivered, knowing that once this Young Master got angry, someone was certainly going to face bad luck; at the very least, a million corpses would fall and blood would flow for a thousand miles.
As the tenth-ranked major chamber of commerce in the Cultivation Great World, a behemoth, their power radiated deep into the distant starry skies, even having business strongholds in places like the Dragon Realm and the Buddha Realm.
The Young Master of the True Monarch Pagoda could truly kill whoever he wanted and beat whoever displeased him. No one had ever given him grief before. Yet today, he had lost an enormous amount of face, having his prestige repeatedly crushed by a nameless brat.
His father was a Void Immortal!
This breath of anger could not be tolerated!
"Young Master, the origin of this suddenly appearing nameless brat is absolutely not simple. We absolutely must not act with undue haste to seek revenge. For him to actually be able to contend against me and even cause me injury, in the Cultivation Great World, he is likely a supreme pinnacle expert!" The withered old man Manager Wu said grimly: "However, the majesty of our True Monarch Pagoda cannot be damaged in this affair, especially not in front of the Splendid Pagoda. It's a pity that within the Cultivation Great World, I cannot use certain formidable lethal moves or the magic treasures I've refined. Otherwise, I could easily force that brat out, make his true form appear, and see exactly what his methods are!"
"Manager Wu, I naturally know this matter cannot be rushed." Young Master Qi's face restored its calmness. The ancient rune at the center of his brow flashed, seeming to calculate something, and subsequently, a scheming look appeared on his face: "This nameless brat, I feel that his dao art realm is not much more profound than yours, Young Master, but he possesses a formidable magic treasure on him, perhaps even more than one peerless dao artifact, which is why he could force even me to have misgivings."
"Oh? Is that so? With so many peerless dao artifacts on him, how did he urge them? Even I only possess one peerless dao artifact, and it is the kind that has not survived the Immortal Realm thunder tribulation." Hearing this, Young Master Qi's spirit was roused, "Furthermore, I actually cannot deduce the origin of this nameless brat."
"I cannot deduce it either. This nameless brat truly possesses a treasure that conceals his aura and providence, or perhaps he cultivates a certain technique that is hard to detect," Manager Wu said. "Perhaps only a Void Immortal-level powerhouse can deduce it. But seeing the confidence on Young Master's face, I assume you have certainly thought of some methods to deal with this person."
"That is natural. The young masters and noble sons of the Heaven and Earth Guild, the Sun and Moon Treasure Pavilion, the Zhenyu Pagoda… these chambers of commerce are all 'good brothers' together with me. With such a good opportunity, naturally, I must bring them along to thoroughly carve up that nameless brat and tear his corpse into ten thousand pieces. Even if this nameless brat has a grand background, it's of no use. Would he dare oppose so many chambers of commerce of our Cultivation Great World? I will naturally borrow a knife to kill a person first."
"Borrow a knife to kill a person?" Manager Wu said: "This is a method. However, the treasures on that nameless brat are extremely numerous. I sense that there is even one or two, possibly three, peerless dao artifacts that have undergone the thunder tribulation punishment of the Immortal Realm. If we can get our hands on them, our True Monarch Pagoda's strength would increase countless folds. Moreover, when this nameless brat fought against me, I faintly sensed the aura of the ancient ancestral dragon from Dragon Race legends. If my guess is correct, he has the Eight Divisions Pagoda on him!"
"What? The Eight Divisions Pagoda!" Young Master Qi stood up on the chariot.
"Indeed, it is exactly the Eight Divisions Pagoda. Of course, this treasure cannot be a peerless dao artifact, but being able to contend with me means it is also a half-peerless artifact. If it were a true peerless artifact, I would already be dead. Young Master, if you want to deal with this person, you absolutely must seize this treasure from him; the other treasures can be discarded! By bringing this treasure and presenting it to True Monarch Qi the Tower Lord, he can rely on the power of a Void Immortal to urge the treasure into the Dragon Realm, transforming it into a true peerless artifact. Relying on the treasure's advancement, the Tower Lord could also glimpse into the laws of life and death, evolving into a True Immortal! Later on, think of a way to make the Eight Divisions Pagoda undergo the Immortal Realm thunder tribulation, and he could even stand against the Treasure Master!" The withered old man Manager Wu said grimly.
Humans encounter human tribulations, and immortals face immortal tribulations.
Treasures also have treasure tribulations.
Peerless dao artifacts are divided into two types: those that have survived the thunder tribulation, and those that have not.
Peerless dao artifacts that haven't survived the thunder tribulation are flawed in quality, and their artifact spirits are impure. But those that have undergone the thunder tribulation are different. A qualitative change instantly occurs, granting them numerous miraculous abilities.
The Huangquan Scroll on Fang Han's body had survived the thunder tribulation. However, the Flame Emperor Fire Dragon Cauldron and the Black Emperor Tide Pennant had not. The Common People's Great Seal certainly had, and the Desolate God's Key also had. The Eight Divisions Pagoda was still far from reaching the level to cross a thunder tribulation.
"What! If the Eight Divisions Pagoda survives the thunder tribulation, my dad can use it to contend against the Treasure Master!"
Young Master Qi licked his lips. "If my dad can contend with the Treasure Master, how much glory and benefit will we obtain in the Cultivation Great World. Moreover, if I acquire this magic treasure and present it to my dad, none of those other brothers of mine should even think of vying for the position of Young Master with me! Those brothers of mine are managing businesses in the sub-branches of various chambers of commerce, enduring in secret. Actually, they all want to win my dad's favor and compete with me, thinking that I have long been delayed in breaking through to the World King Realm! This time, I will let them know what despair means."
"Good, Manager Wu. You return to the chamber of commerce first and assemble our chamber of commerce's elites, the eighteen Tyrant Sovereign Guards. Then, withdraw ten trillion pure yang pills, and at the same time! Bring out our chamber of commerce's destiny-suppressing peerless dao artifact, the Boundless Constant Sand. Meanwhile, I'll go find the other young masters, ally with them, find an opportunity, and kill this brat together! We'll carve up the treasures on him. Also, you should look into exactly what this nameless brat’s origins are."
Young Master Qi instructed.
"Young Master, withdrawing ten trillion pure yang pills! The amount is too great. I fear it will alarm the Tower Lord. Should the Tower Lord pin the blame later, it will be hard to explain. Also, the Boundless Constant Sand was forged by the Tower Lord who spent fifty-six thousand years collecting constant sand from the Boundless Great World, and in doing so, he offended many formidable figures in the Boundless Great World. After the Tower Lord exits his seclusion this time, he plans to have this Boundless Constant Sand undergo the Immortal Realm thunder tribulation and advance once more. If it suffers any damage and the Tower Lord assigns blame, Young Master's position may not remain secure," the withered old man warned.
"I naturally know this. However, to urge a peerless dao artifact, I must have massive amounts of pure yang pills. The Boundless Constant Sand must also be entirely catalyzed to contend against that nameless brat." Young Master Qi chuckled sinisterly.
"I am merely offering a warning to Young Master. You must be careful and attentive. It is best to have the young masters of the other chambers of commerce charge first and lose their treasures initially. That Heaven and Earth Guild is ranked ninth among the chambers of commerce, suppressing our True Monarch Pagoda heavily. This time, Young Master can take the opportunity to deeply scheme against them."
"Do I need you to tell me that?" Young Master Qi sat back down in the chariot. "Manager Wu, go prepare with speed. Within the chamber of commerce, your authority is greater than mine, and deploying resources is easier for you. I will go find the other young masters right now and persuade them."
While speaking, the giant chariot swerved and vanished. Those Black Nightmare Guards also followed right alongside them one by one.
Inside the Splendid Mansion.
"Lady, are you really going to report to the Mansion Lord?" An old woman, whose eyes shot out fierce glints and whose body was circumscribed by circulating laws of time, was an expert of the "Zeus Light Realm" at the Longevity Fourth Tier: "That Fang Han, I fear, is not quite reliable."
"It's no matter. I previously operated my Heaven Position Laws and already communicated with the covert division. The covert division has found out. That Fang Han comes from the Xuanhuang Great World, that declining place. He just obtained some inheritances; there is no grand background behind him! We can absolutely utilize him. Further, his immortal dao treasure, if successfully condensed this time, will indeed bring immense benefits." Yunjin said with full confidence.
"But, this person's strength…"
"That is why we must deal with him courteously but insincerely, and utilize him. We will adapt as circumstances dictate and discuss further when the time comes. Meeting shifting events with constancy; moreover, we won't lose anything. Right now, the True Monarch Pagoda's Young Master will likely investigate this person's whereabouts and then make a move against him. We can also observe along the way."
"The Lady is being thorough."
"Come, follow me to see my mother."
On a planet exceedingly far from the Cultivation Great World, Fang Han stood at the very peak of an incredibly high mountain, gazing into the distance at the Cultivation Great World. He saw immense treasure lights shining. That great world focused on trade and chambers of commerce revolved slowly, and Fang Han could even see the sparkling brilliance of countless pure yang essence energies stored throughout various spaces within the grand world.
The reserves of pure yang pills stored in the Cultivation Great World were an unknown quantity greater than the inventory in the Desolate God's Key.
Although Fang Han was extremely wealthy now, compared to the entire Cultivation Great World, it was merely one hair from nine oxen.
"If I could pocket this Cultivation Great World into my bag, my wealth would make me a wealthy lord taking a region even if I were to enter the ethereal Immortal Realm! The overall financial power of the Cultivation Great World is tens of millions of times that of the Taiyi Sect. This time, starting with the True Monarch Pagoda, I will stir up a storm throughout the entire Cultivation Great World. In just a few months' time! I will carry the storm off to the Taiyi Sect."
From Fang Han's finger, a divine ability suddenly fluttered out. This divine ability actually consisted of many continuously shifting shadows, ultimately manifesting the shadows of two people. The shadows of these two people, one male and one female—the man was actually the shadow of Young Master Qi, while the woman was the shadow of the Eldest Lady of the Splendid Mansion.
This was one of the Three Thousand Great Dao, a supreme divine ability, the Great Tracking Art!
Fang Han had obtained it from Nine Tripods Immortal Venerable.
Nine Tripods Immortal Venerable carried a total of two of the Three Thousand Great Dao, the Great Statecraft Art and the Great Tracking Art. He had cultivated them to absolute perfection, infusing them with the power of a world. After Fang Han acquired them, he fused them into his body and had now fully digested them, executing them with miraculous precision.
"Splendid Mansion, True Monarch Pagoda. Both wanting to utilize me, to deal with me. Yet they do not know that I also want to utilize you." Fang Han nodded. His body leaped upwards, flying away from this planet.
