10,000 Years In A Cultivation Sect: I Obtained A Powerful Technique From The Start Chapter 264 - The Rise of Humanity, An Attack from the Abyss

Riyue Changfeng’s objective was simple—to sell the heart of the middle chiliocosm.

“I don’t understand, Brother Riyue. Do I look like someone who can afford a treasure like that?” Jiang Ming asked incredulously.

The value for the heart of the middle chiliocosm was immense.

Except for the untouchable Human Paths Record, the Saint Province Dao Square, and the Supreme Pagoda which seemed to be of great value but actually was not, other items were normal.

As for the Quasi-Sage Weapons? They were precious and irreplaceable.

“It takes me a great effort to e here, and whenever I e, I would only deal with clients who have the greatest potential!” Riyue Changfeng said, “I came here this time because I had received a sign. I know I would e across someone who would be a great help to me in my future this time, and when I saw you, Brother Jiang, I knew my hunch was right! I always believe that if I treat people with sincerity, others will treat me back the same way as well. Therefore, everything I’m telling you is the truth, Brother Jiang.

“The cultivation method of our auction house is special. When we reach a certain point in our cultivation, we will need the support from something known as Cosmic Energy. This is the reason the auction house was established in the first place: to collect Cosmic Energy!

“And thus, all of us are equipped with some special abilities! I can sense plenty of Cosmic Energy from you, Brother Jiang. For us, the more items of different worlds we acquire, the higher the quality, the more valuable they are.

“Of course, I see that you have the Sacrificial Artifact Judgment and the special technique that could merge all 3,000 laws.

“Besides, I have faith that you can upgrade your inner world to the middle chiliocosm!

“No matter how I see it, you’re my best client!” Riyue Changfeng said with sincerity.

“Middle chiliocosm? I don’t even know if I can reach that stage. I don’t know why you have so much faith in me,” Jiang Ming laughed bitterly. He knew Riyue Changfeng was just being polite, so he did not take his words seriously. After all, no matter how sincere he was, it could not change the fact that Riyue Changfeng was a businessman, and a businessman would never invest in something that was unprofitable.

“Don’t look down on yourself, Brother Jiang. There is a chance that you may evolve your inner world into a great chiliocosm some day in the future!” Riyue Changfeng said as he pointed at the heart of the middle chiliocosm. “Anyway, back to the business. Do you want to take it? It can boost the origin force of your inner world as well as save you tons of time. It can also aid you in prehending the 3,000 Taiyi Dao as well as speed up the evolution of your inner world. With one world’s heart, it’s going to save you billions of years of time. Not only that, but it can also act as a catalyst for the evolution of your inner world!”

“Alright, I’ll take it!” Jiang Ming replied without any hesitation. “There is a force that can e to this world easily. If you guys need Cosmic Energy that bad, why don’t you work with them instead? Wouldn’t it make your life easier?”

“You’re talking about the Lord God Space and the Reincarnation Hall?” Although Jiang Ming did not explicitly mention them, Riyue Changfeng knew what he was talking about, “Due to some reasons, I can’t talk too much about them. All I can say is that descending from the depths of endless space and time es at a price. Take me as an example. I can’t simply e here and go as I wish. Every time I e here, I need to get something back. If not, the cost will be tremendous. Besides, we need to follow a certain set of rules if we want to e here. We can’t just e here whenever we want. If not, there will be bad consequences.”

“So in other words, someone has set up rules, and you guys have to follow them?” Jiang Ming said.

“Bingo!” Riyue Changfeng nodded.

Then, he told him the way they trade in the auction house.

In general, they traded with immortal crystals.

“As a VIP, I’ll give you a special price!” Riyue Changfeng grabbed something in the air, and in the next second, the world’s heart appeared on his palm and transformed into a fist-sized immortal fetus that beat like a heart.

“A Quasi-Sage Weapon might be very precious for a world, but for someone like me that could travel across different worlds, it’s nothing special. I want five Quasi-Sage Weapons, all from different worlds. This is the fairest price I can offer you. After all, it’s a rare item, and a rare item is priceless!”

“You call this fair price?” Jiang Ming had the urge to beat him up.

‘D*mn it! He wants five Quasi-Save Weapons, and all of them need to e from different worlds? Is he kidding me?’

“Of course, it is!” Riyue Changfeng said with a grin, “There’s a probability that the Heavenly Emperor of your world wouldn’t get one world’s heart after he destroys all the great chiliocosms. Besides, the recoil damage of destroying a great chiliocosm isn’t something that everyone could handle. This is the most terrifying aspect of the heart of the great chiliocosms. I have a friend and he sold it for 12 Quasi-Sage Weapons.”

“No one will buy it from you here!” Jiang Ming said.

“I know! That’s why I came for you!” Riyue Changfeng replied matter-of-factly.

“But it’s five Quasi-Sage Weapons!” Jiang Ming still found it hard to believe, and a thought flitted across his head. He pointed at the treasures and asked, “Can I exchange with Dao Vessels?”

“Of course, you can! I accept other things like Spiritual Roots, or Immortal Roots as well. The more variety you have from different worlds, the greater the value will be. Some of their value can even bee double of their original value!” Riyue Changfeng said as his eyes glowed.

“In that case, maybe you’ve found the right person!” Jiang Ming laughed, “We can trade, but I hope you have enough items to trade with me!”

“I can’t guarantee anything, but it should be enough for you to evolve your inner world to the next stage!” Riyue Changfeng’s eyes grew even brighter.

On Chuyang Peak.

A smile broke across Jiang Ming’s face after he learned everything through his clone.

‘Items from different worlds huh?’

It might be impossible for other people, but it was an easy task for him. It was just that he needed to e up with a plan since he needed to get high quality items.

Mountain Master Tian Yuan was still telling him about the various forces in the Honggu Realm.

The Heavenly Court was the strongest amongst them, and there were many middle chiliocosms under it.

Other than that, it was the Abyss, the Fo Sect, the Dragon race, and the Devil race to name a few.

“Of course, the overall bat prowess of the human race is great, but unfortunately, they’re like a plate of loose sand!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan lamented, “For example, half of the disciples of the Fo Sect are from the human race. The only difference is that they bee a Buddha first before being human. As for the human-devil in the Abyss, most of them have regarded themselves as demons instead of humans. There are also many different human sects and clans scattering across different parts of the Heavenly Realm. All of them operate in self-contained partments, and some of them even fight against each other for territory! They ‘re like a plate of loose sand, and they refuse to unite as one. If not, the Heavenly Court…”

He paused for a moment and shook his head.

“If not, those human experts would’ve been exterminated a long time ago!” Jiang Ming chimed in, “The human race makes up the foundation of several different forces, so of course, they wouldn’t let humans unite and bee strong.”

“Yeah! You’re right!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan smiled bitterly, “In the past, all I ever cared about was cultivation. I didn’t care what was going on around me at all. It’s only now that I realize the reason why we humans are in an awkward position despite having occupied nearly every corner of the universe. It’s because of them! They don’t want us to be stronger! They want us to be a plate of loose sand instead of working together as one!”

If all humans united and formed into a force, even the Great Heavenly Venerate couldn’t sit still.

“I have heard that in ancient times, a sage once founded the Hall of the Human Emperor. His intention was to make humans rise to the top of the world and dominate all the universe. However, before he could realize his dream, he went missing. We tried to look for him, but we didn’t find anything useful. Now that I think about it, I guess he must’ve been killed by someone,” Mountain Master Tian Yuan said, “Heavenly generals, buddhas, demons, human-devil… We humans can bee anything we want to be.”

Jiang Ming chuckled, “You don’t have to be so pessimistic, brother. Looking from another angle, does this not mean that we humans have infiltrated into different forces? This is the true meaning of spreading across every side of the universe.”

Mountain Master Tian Yuan did not know what to say.

Both of them talked and chatted away.

Most of the time, it was Mountain Master Tian Yuan who told Jiang Ming about his days in the Heavenly Realm, as well as some of the secrets about it, and Jiang Ming finally had a better understanding about the Heavenly Realm.

Afterward, Jiang Ming went into the kitchen and whipped up some food.

“I can’t believe that you still have the appetite to eat at a moment like this…” Mountain Master Tian Yuan said as he looked at the bowl of noodles in front of him.

“Well, it’s a good thing as well!”

He picked up the chopsticks and began eating the noodles.

“It has been such a long time since I last ate something,” Mountain Master Tian Yuan said, his voice hoarse and filled with emotion.

“If you like it, I can make some more for you.”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

“That’s great!”

Mountain Master Tian Yuan decided to stay and protect the Tianyuan Realm.

Both of them would use their special abilities to look into the Abyss from time to time.

“The Abyss will suffer great loss after the Great Abyss Trial. Now that the Infinite Realm Auction House has descended, in order to get more benefits as well as prepare for the auction, this time more people will die, and the Abyss is going to suffer an even greater loss,” Mountain Master Tian Yuan said. “There’s a possibility that the Great Heavenly Venerate would seize the chance and wipe out the Abyss for good.”

“Is it possible?” Jiang Ming shook his head. “I don’t think so. The Abyss has existed since ancient times. I doubt they would just go down like that without putting up a fight.”

“It all depends on the Great Heavenly Venerate. If he really is hellbent on destroying the Abyss, he can do it.”

“But the problem is will he do it?”

“Honestly, I can’t tell either. If he doesn’t do anything, he’s still able to intimidate the Abyss through his influence. But if he does something and suffers some injuries, things would develop in a different direction.”

“Yeah.”

Jiang Ming nodded.

Once the Great Heavenly Venerate suffered some injuries, many forces would work together and pull him down from his throne.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Ming flipped through the Human Paths Record to check on Ghost-Faced Demon Venerate as well as the situation in the Abyss.

Then, he lifted his eyebrows.

“They’re rallying a group of demons to attack me? D*mn, I’m glad I checked on him! Otherwise, with those Demon Venerates, many people in the Tianyuan Realm would die!

“Hah, want to kill me?”

A glint of darkness crossed Jiang Ming’s eyes.
