Chapter 1023 Great Advancement
Inside the quiet room of Jiuling Manor.
"Whoosh..."
A beam of celestial light streaked across the void like a shooting star, trailing a faint golden tail, and instantly appeared before Su Mo.
The light faded, revealing a middle-aged man surrounded by a faint earthy yellow aura. He was one of the members of the group that had captured the Wind and Thunder Immortal Clan.
He nodded slightly to Su Mo, his movements displaying absolute deference to the original body, before transforming into a stream of light and merging directly into Su Mo's body, disappearing into the chaotic blue light between his brows.
Soon, a massive amount of rare and precious natural treasures appeared once again within Su Mo's natal sea of time.
"As expected of a seventh-grade True Immortal power with two seventh-grade True Immortals presiding over it." Su Mo looked inward at his natal sea of time, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He tapped his knee lightly with his fingertips. "Their wealth is far beyond what a sixth-grade True Immortal clan like the Golden Scale Immortal Clan can compare to."
Fifteen seventh-grade true immortal herbs were found, two of which had faint law patterns growing on their roots and stems, clearly indicating they were quasi-eighth-grade true immortal herbs. The primordial power they contained was in no way inferior to the Flower of the Cosmic Era that caused this great war, and the value of a single herb was equivalent to five or six ordinary seventh-grade true immortal herbs.
The mid-grade immortal crystals alone amounted to eight figures, their brilliance dazzling, piled up like a majestic immortal crystal mountain range; coupled with his treasured true immortal artifacts and other rare and precious materials, the total value of all his assets would not be less than one hundred million mid-grade immortal crystals, more than doubling his fortune.
“This is just one…” Su Mo lightly tapped the lotus platform with his fingertips, and the thirty-sixth grade Primordial Black Lotus trembled slightly, rippling out circles of chaotic waves. His smile deepened. “Once we take down the other five seventh-grade True Immortal forces, even without a billion mid-grade immortal crystals, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.”
At this moment, he seemed to see the realm of a perfect seventh-grade True Immortal beckoning to him. At that time, as long as he didn't face an Immortal Golden Immortal, his basic safety would be guaranteed. Even if he couldn't win, surviving wouldn't be a big problem.
"The upcoming Nine Realms Immortal War is now completely assured." A glint flashed in Su Mo's eyes. The Nine Realms Immortal War has been going on for over ten thousand sessions. There are occasional rumors of eighth and ninth-grade True Immortals falling, but there has never been a case of a half-step Golden Immortal who has already stepped into the Immortal Realm being lost.
.......
Spring comes and autumn goes, stars and rivers turn, and millions of years pass in the blink of an eye.
South of the Thousand Ends Sea lies the Black Continent.
This continent is shrouded year-round in a layer of inky miasma, thick as ink, churning and emitting a pungent stench. It contains a deadly poison capable of corroding even immortal bones and dissolving the soul. Ordinary first or second-grade True Immortals who enter this miasma will, within a day, have their limbs and bones invaded by the poison, their immortal bodies decaying, their souls dissolving, ultimately annihilating them completely, leaving not a trace behind.
This is none other than the lair of the Black Jade Immortal Clan, a seventh-grade True Immortal power. The clan is renowned throughout the Thousand Edge Sea for its poison techniques and unorthodox methods. They are ruthless in their actions, and few forces dare to provoke them easily.
"Roar..." "Screech..."
Suddenly, a series of dragon roars, like thunderclaps, shook the miasma violently; a tiger's roar, like tearing silk, pierced the sky with a sharp edge that could rip everything apart; a phoenix's cry, clear and melodious, soared into the heavens, its sound waves carrying blazing flames; a tortoise's roar, steady and powerful, shook the earth, causing the entire Black Continent to hum. Four colors of light tore through the inky miasma, like four sharp swords piercing the night, weaving a net across the Black Continent, firmly enveloping the entire continent.
The phantom images of the four sacred beasts—Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise—appeared out of nowhere, seemingly three times more solid than when they were on the Wind and Thunder Continent. The patterns on their dragon scales, phoenix feathers, tiger stripes, and tortoise shells were clearly visible. Each beast exuded a terrifying pressure that rivaled that of a peak eighth-grade True Immortal, like four ancient divine mountains suspended in the sky, causing the miasma to slowly sink. As soon as they appeared, the four sacred beasts opened their enormous mouths and spewed out divine light containing primordial power, crashing into the protective array of the Black Absolute Continent.
"Boom..."
A deafening roar, like the Big Bang, sent a violent shockwave spreading outwards, shattering the miasma that filled the sky. The protective array, painstakingly constructed by the Black Jade Immortal Clan over several cosmic eras using a mixture of countless poisons and chaotic divine iron, shattered like paper under the impact of the four sacred beasts. The light barrier crumbled inch by inch, and the poisonous runes inscribed on it crackled and popped, quickly transforming into countless specks of light that dissipated into the miasma.
"not good......"
The strongest seventh-grade late-stage True Immortal of the Black Jade Immortal Clan changed his expression and hurriedly invoked the will of the Black Absolute Continent, wanting to fight against the four sacred beasts.
However, it was all a desperate struggle. He barely managed to advance to the mid-stage of the eighth rank True Immortal, but when faced with the encirclement and attack of four peak eighth rank True Immortals, he couldn't even last ten breaths before being severely injured and suppressed.
Following closely behind were the True Immortal Ancestors of the Black Jade Immortal Clan.
After a short while, the entire Black Continent fell into a deathly silence. The remaining Black Jade Immortal Clan members, including Void Immortals and Celestial Immortals, dared not even breathe loudly, fearing that they might anger the Four Symbols Sacred Beasts and bring about their annihilation.
......
Inside the quiet room of Jiuling Manor.
"Take down the last one!"
Su Mo suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, his divine light piercing the void like two sharp swords, seemingly penetrating the barrier of billions of stars in an instant, taking in the tragic state of the Black Continent.
Everything went exactly as he had predicted. Each of the six seventh-grade True Immortal forces possessed a fortune of no less than one hundred million mid-grade Immortal Crystals.
Especially the Yuangang Immortal Clan, which is the most powerful and has three seventh-grade True Immortals in charge, has a foundation that is beyond imagination. All the natural treasures they have are worth about 300 million mid-grade Immortal Crystals. Among them, there is even an eighth-grade True Immortal Medicine that would drive an eighth-grade True Immortal crazy.
"Next, the territories of the six major powers will be auctioned off."
Su Mo flicked his fingertips, and the pile of immortal crystals in his natal sea of time emitted a crisp clanging sound. A look of anticipation flashed in his eyes. The six major powers, combined, have eight seventh-level True Immortal Continents alone, and more than fifty sixth-level True Immortal Continents, reaching sixty-eight. Adding the other True Immortal Continents of various levels, once they make a move, the harvest will not be inferior to the accumulation of the six great immortal races over tens of thousands of cosmic eras, and may even be greater.
"Unfortunately, the Star Sea Trading Company is still a bit lacking in strength."
Su Mo shook his head slightly, a hint of regret crossing his mind. After several collaborations, he was quite satisfied with Xinghai Trading Company's style and efficiency. If possible, he would still like to entrust Xinghai Trading Company with the handling of the upcoming auctions of the territories of the six major powers.
Unfortunately, their strength was insufficient. The Star Sea Trading Company's influence was limited to the Crimson Sea and the surrounding ten or so cosmic seas, and they had almost no foundation in the Thousand Edge Sea.
The sixth and seventh rank True Immortal forces in Qianyahai would not give Xinghai Trading Company any face and force them to entrust the matter, as it would likely cause unnecessary trouble.
"It seems that I will have to trouble you fellow Daoists to find a suitable partner in the Thousand Edge Sea."
......
Time flies, and another century has passed.
Inside the quiet room of Jiuling Manor, Su Mo slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with chaotic energy, and looked once again toward the direction of Qianya Sea.
A few breaths later, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his lips: "A total of 1.28 billion mid-grade immortal crystals. This Tianya Auction House does have some ability."
Tianya Auction House is the largest auction house in Qianya Sea and one of the top ten powers in Qianya Sea. It has a profound foundation and is said to be backed by an eighth-grade True Immortal, making its power astonishing. A century ago, his illusory spirit bodies traveled for many days, screening dozens of auction houses, and finally chose Tianya Auction House—and as it turned out, this choice was not wrong.
The final transaction price of 1.28 billion mid-grade immortal crystals far exceeded his expectations.
"The only drawback is that the commission rate at Tianya Auction House is a bit high." Su Mo tapped the lotus platform lightly with his fingertips, his tone tinged with regret. A five percent commission might not seem like much at first glance, but compared to the one percent commission rate at Xinghai Trading Company, it cost him a full 51.2 million mid-grade immortal crystals—an amount that, if used to buy seventh-grade true immortal herbs, could, with a bit of luck, buy hundreds of them.
The thought of how much the hundred True Immortal Herbs could improve the Primordial Boundless True Immortal Body made Su Mo feel a pang of heartache, as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out.
Sigh! Well, it's too late now, there's no use in feeling any more heartache.
Shaking his head, Su Mo put this regret aside. In any case, it was better than him having to go to a powerful organization to auction it off himself—it saved him a lot of trouble and avoided the risk of being coveted by others.
Immediately afterward, Su Mo's mind stirred, and a divine thought crossed the void, reaching the illusory body of Lingxu who was making the deal with the Tianya Auction House: "Exchange all the mid-grade immortal crystals for true immortal medicines of grade five or above, giving priority to those that are old and contain rich original immortal power. Do not be stingy with the immortal crystals."
After transmitting the message, Su Mo closed his eyes, a faint golden light emanating from his body, and the operation of the Primordial Boundless True Immortal Body suddenly accelerated. In his natal sea of time, the True Immortal herbs rapidly shattered, transforming into streams of pure medicinal power that flowed through his meridians into his limbs and bones, nourishing every inch of his flesh and blood, and every wisp of his soul.
......
Time flies, and two hundred chaotic eras have passed quietly. There are less than twenty chaotic eras left until the Nine Realms Immortal War.
"Phew... The sixth level of the Primordial Boundless True Immortal Body has finally been perfected!"
......
