Chapter 1271 - 1265: Xuan City
Center of the Mysterious Universe.
There exists a city suspended in the starry sky, radiating the light of the Dao, like a dazzling pearl.
Unlike ordinary civilizations that hide in the shadows, it boldly reveals itself, visible clearly from billions of light years away.
It is called Xuan City!
The only place within the Mysterious Universe daring enough to announce its coordinates publicly, and no one dares to trouble Xuan City.
"Finally arrived!"
On this day, two beams of immortal light flew from afar and landed outside Xuan City.
"Is this Xuan City? Why is its layout so peculiar?"
An Tianxin inspected Xuan City, spanning no more than a thousand miles, equivalent to a small city, yet strangely devoid of streets or alleys, only housing thousands of palaces.
These palaces vary in size, with the largest stretching several dozen miles and the smallest at least five miles wide.
On the streets, there were very few pedestrians, making it resemble a ghost town, devoid of earthly vitality.
"Xuan City is the center of the Mysterious Universe, not open to ordinary Martial Artists, only top-tier experts can enter, and each palace within represents a top-level civilization!"
The voice of Heavenly Will sounded quite solemn.
After arriving at Xuan City, he realized the power within the Mysterious Universe exceeded his imagination.
Thousands of palaces imply there are at least thousands of Unity Realm Stage experts.
It goes without saying.
If the news of the Hongmeng Purple Qi is announced in Xuan City, the Qin Dynasty will face thousands of Unity Realm Stage adversaries.
"The Qin Dynasty is doomed!"
An Tianxin understood the implications, her eyes turned cold, and she said venomously.
Thousands of civilizations with Unity Realm Martial Artists guarding them.
Even if only a tenth of the civilizations believe it, there would still be hundreds of Unity Realm Stage experts, enough to easily destroy the Qin Dynasty, kill Qin Wudao, and annihilate all Qin citizens.
"Let’s go!"
Heavenly Will continued forward.
At the city gate stood nine armored figures, each holding a battle weapon, expressionless and without aura but exuding a majestic presence.
"Nine Unity Realm puppets!"
Heavenly Will glanced at them, his pupils contracted, and he was secretly astonished.
Without exception, the aura of these nine figures was unfathomable to him, as deep as facing the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
"Who goes there?"
One puppet asked, its voice cold and emotionless.
"Eternal World, An Tianxin!"
Heavenly Will gave An Tianxin a look, who understood and stepped forward to speak.
"The Eternal Clan, a divine civilization, is already destroyed!"
"You may enter Palace No. 376 of Xuan City and take what the Eternal Clan left behind!"
The puppet looked at An Tianxin, its eyes flashing with red light, probing her carefully, speaking without emotion.
Heavenly Will and An Tianxin’s pupils shrank!
The news of the Eternal Clan’s destruction hadn’t spread; how did the people of Xuan City know?
Could it be that Xuan City has a complete intelligence network monitoring all civilizations within the Mysterious Universe?
At this thought, both of them felt a chill down their spines.
"Alright!"
An Tianxin nodded and entered Xuan City with Heavenly Will.
After entering Xuan City, they began gathering intelligence. After several hours, they finally had a clear understanding of Xuan City’s situation.
First: The palaces in Xuan City are arranged according to the strength of the civilizations, the strongest being the Spirit Emperor Civilization, which occupies Palace No. 1.
The Eternal Clan owns Palace No. 376, meaning within all the civilizations of myriad worlds, the Eternal Clan ranks 376th, which is relatively advanced.
Second: There are two forces in Xuan City with transcendent status, namely the Immortal Treasure Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall!
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion has existed since the founding of Xuan City, with profound roots and sky-reaching abilities, having once auctioned treasures from the Galaxy Universe.
It is estimated that more than a third of the wealth of the Mysterious Universe is controlled by the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
As for the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall, it is a dark place for trading lives. With enough elemental stones, even the head of a Spirit Emperor can be served on your table.
Of course, the price is naturally high.
This also indirectly shows the terrifying strength of the Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall.
"Let’s go to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!"
Having grasped the basic information about Xuan City, Heavenly Will said in a deep voice.
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion has extensive business, including auctions, buying intelligence, publishing intelligence, hiring bodyguards, and more.
Their next step is to release intelligence.
An Tianxin nodded.
An hour later, the two arrived in front of a luxuriously adorned palace, where compared to other places, there were more Martial Artists, all hurriedly coming to buy cultivation resources.
"Honored guests, what do you wish to purchase?"
A lady in a blue dress approached with a smile and asked.
"Releasing intelligence!"
Heavenly Will said.
"This way, please!"
The blue-dressed lady flashed a trace of disappointment in her eyes, but her smile remained as she led the way.
After passing through a long corridor, the blue-dressed lady led Heavenly Will and An Tianxin into a dark grand hall, where a table was placed, and behind it sat an elderly man who seemed drowsy.
"Elder Lian, someone wants to release intelligence!"
The blue-dressed lady softly said beside the elder.
"Understood!"
Elder Lian opened his eyes and casually asked, "What intelligence are you releasing? How extensive is the coverage? How long should it last?"
He sounded very professional!
"The coverage is the entire Mysterious Universe!"
Heavenly Will didn’t hesitate and cupped his fist as he spoke.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Elder Lian showed some interest, "Covering the entire Mysterious Universe, that will be quite costly!"
Heavenly Will frowned, "How many Immortal Stones are needed?"
"Immortal Stones?"
Elder Lian showed disdain and said dismissively, "Who would want trashy Immortal Stones? All transactions at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion are in elemental stones, and to release intelligence covering the entire Mysterious Universe, it requires at least ten billion elemental stones!"
Heavenly Will and An Tianxin exchanged glances, dumbfounded!
Having traversed the universe for decades, they knew the importance of elemental stones, containing energy for rule domain expert’s cultivation, extremely precious.
Ten billion elemental stones equate to the entire fortune of a rule domain expert!
Of course, Immortal Stones can be exchanged for elemental stones, but the exchange rate is terrifyingly low, needing at least one hundred thousand Immortal Stones for one elemental stone.
Moreover, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion clearly looks down on Immortal Stones.
"What should we do now?"
An Tianxin asked Heavenly Will.
"Take out the Hongmeng Purple Qi!"
Heavenly Will thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, An Tianxin’s face instantly turned pale, immediately understanding Heavenly Will’s intention to trade the Hongmeng Purple Qi for elemental stones.
She instinctively wanted to refuse.
At this point, she only had the Hongmeng Purple Qi left!
But seeing the resolute look in Heavenly Will’s eyes, she hesitated for a moment, then handed over the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
"Senior, please take a look at how much it’s worth in elemental stones!"
Heavenly Will placed the Hongmeng Purple Qi before Elder Lian and asked with a smile.
He wasn’t afraid of Elder Lian seizing the Hongmeng Purple Qi because the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s reputation was excellent, with no record of exploiting customers despite countless years of operation within the Mysterious Universe.
Moreover, although the Hongmeng Purple Qi is precious, it’s only useful to Martial Artists below the Dao Saint Realm, and Elder Lian clearly has no use for it.
