Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World

"As you are a guest, please feel free, but if you cause trouble, don't blame me for being impolite," Tian Shang Bao Yuan Avatar replied coldly upon confirming the visitor's ill intent.

"Impolite?"

"The Heavenly Merchant Intrinsic Wealth Technique you cultivate was created by my true self; what gives you the courage to speak to me in this manner?!"

The Heavenly Merchant Immortal Venerable sneered, his tone full of disdain.

"Such bold insolence to threaten me!"

The Heavenly Merchant Intrinsic Wealth Technique circulated is limited to the Supreme Jade Immortal Realm, with practitioners reaching at most the level of Immortal Monarch.

A Daluo Golden Immortal of the same realm? Dao Ancestor?

Such powerful figures either have their own Dao or are in pursuit of their own Dao, where would they find the leisure to learn my Heavenly Merchant Intrinsic Wealth Technique?

Is this not like abandoning a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds?

The strongest is only the Taiyi Jade Immortal, yet dares to threaten a Xianzun?

What gives him the gall?!

The Heavenly Merchant Immortal Venerable's fingertip radiated strange power, pointing remotely, causing the Tian Shang Bao Yuan Avatar stationed here to crumble as if made of paper, while a gray monkey hair lightly drifted down from the sky.

The immortal power scattered, not falling into the hands of the Heavenly Merchant Immortal Venerable, but quickly transforming into other immortal power, disappearing without a trace.

Tian Shang Bao Yuan Avatar's combat prowess rivaled that of a True Immortal, yet was far inferior compared to the Xianzun, becoming a foe defeated in a single encounter.

"The transformation of Tian Shang Bao Yuan Immortal Power into other immortal power, how interesting!"

The Heavenly Merchant Immortal Venerable showed a realization, finally understanding why this fat meat pig was out of control.

The immortal power derived from the Heavenly Merchant Intrinsic Wealth Technique transformed into a different kind of power, falling outside the harvesting range, no wonder there was never any yield.

This visit was intended to figure out why the fish escaped the hook and secondly, to kill the opposing Tian Shang Bao Yuan Avatar to absorb its power.

The immortals cultivating the Heavenly Merchant Intrinsic Wealth Technique, with their Tian Shang Bao Yuan Avatars, were essentially akin to his blood bags.

Gathering three thousand Tian Shang Bao Yuan Avatars in one sweep could result in a plentiful harvest.

However, the second attempt ended in failure.

"Oh, what's this..."

The Heavenly Merchant Immortal Venerable sensed something, extending his palm, with the gray monkey hair already resting within.

He had created the Heavenly Merchant Intrinsic Wealth Technique, well aware that the Tian Shang Bao Yuan Avatar requires a carrier to exist long term.

This person's Tian Shang Bao Yuan Avatar used a monkey hair as its carrier?

What kind of monkey's hair can sustain a Tian Shang Bao Yuan Avatar for a thousand years?

He sensed an aura similar to the Xuantian Immortal Treasure within the monkey hair, yet it was different.

The Xuantian Immortal Treasure was an artifact, devoid of any signs of life.

In contrast, the gray monkey hair was part of a living being, a living Xuantian Immortal Treasure?

Throughout the world, only one type of being could achieve this!

"Xuantian Celestial Clan?!"

The Heavenly Merchant Immortal Venerable had initially intended to sweep Flowing Immortal Pavilion clean, for unharvestable meat pigs that exist even a moment longer were a slap to his face, mocking his incompetence.

Regardless of the outcome of this venture, Flowing Immortal Pavilion would be utterly extinguished, ceasing to exist.

Even with Xianzun-level powerhouses supporting Flowing Immortal Pavilion, the result would not change.

Upon discovering the presence of Xuantian Celestial Clan artifacts as carriers, totaling three thousand, the identity of those behind Flowing Immortal Pavilion was self-evident.

Has the Xuantian Celestial Clan been freed?!

Strong foes on par with Dao Ancestor-level were manageable; if defeat were inevitable, relying on one's powerful life-saving techniques, escape would inevitably be an option.

Who knows how many Xuantian Celestial Clan members are behind Flowing Immortal Pavilion? Or what abilities they wield?

The unknown powers are even more daunting.

Being seen as a thorn in the side by several Dao Ancestors, it truly is unwise to establish such formidable enemies.

"Here is compensation for offending Flowing Immortal Pavilion."

The Heavenly Merchant Immortal Venerable placed a piece of supreme-grade Immortal Material on the table without a word and turned away.

This visit to seek justice ended in his embarrassment.

Jia Ren, upon seeing a Xianzun visit, thought disaster was imminent.

With the help of Mou Zongxian, the confrontation with the Heavenly Merchant Immortal Venerable might be resolved.

Once Mou Zongxian's identity is exposed, would it not alert the Sky Dream Demon Saint that Flowing Immortal Pavilion is the force he supports?

Defeating a Xianzun to anger an even stronger Demon Saint?

Is this not making trouble more than enough?

The best course is to abandon Flowing Immortal Pavilion.

In a millennium, Flowing Immortal Pavilion has supplied over two thousand four hundred portions of True Spirit Level Spirit Blood of All Beings, tens of millions of Immortal Jade, along with various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

The transactions of Flowing Immortal Pavilion increased the cultivation level of Heavenly Merchant Intrinsic Wealth Technique, progressing fairly well.

The Spirit Blood of All Beings supplying the creation of Myriad Spirits Blood Origin Pill, Heavenly Materials, Earthly Treasures, and Immortal Elixirs crafted into elixirs to elevate Magical Beasts' cultivation levels.

Immortal Jade used to purchase coveted treasures, with Flowing Immortal Pavilion's influence spanning Donghua Immortal Domain, being the first to acquire more intelligence.

Sitting at home, observing the whole scene of Donghua Immortal Domain.

As time goes by, Flowing Immortal Pavilion's reputation rises, and its gains will become increasingly plentiful.

The turn of events unanticipated, when a Xianzun forced trouble, unexpectedly scared away by a small stone monkey's hair?

This indeed is a matter worthy of both laughter and tears.

Has Flowing Immortal Pavilion been misunderstood as the power of the Xuantian Celestial Clan?

There are both benefits and drawbacks.

The advantage is Flowing Immortal Pavilion is retained, able to offer wealth, treasures, and intelligence.

The drawback is, once various factions learn of this, their attitude toward Flowing Immortal Pavilion will surely change.

I don't know how many top-tier warriors have had grievances with the Xuantian Immortal clan, every move draws attention, and collecting the Spirit Blood of All Beings will cause many powers to speculate.

Jia Ren has not even reached the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm and should not get involved in high-level battlefields, nor should he expose himself in front of many strong warriors.

"Disband!"

He chose the safest method—there was no necessity to place himself under the eyes of Daluo Golden Immortal and Dao Ancestor level experts for the sake of acquiring cultivation resources.

The benefits brought cannot outweigh the risks.

The existence at the Dao Ancestor level is really not to be provoked...

One by one, the Heavenly Merchant Avatar disappeared with the Flowing Immortal Pavilion's treasures, transformed into hairs and vanished across the distance.

Soon enough, various major powers learned of the Xuantian Immortal clan's news through different channels, and many Xianzun and Dao Ancestors came out of seclusion, focusing their attention on the unremarkable Flowing Immortal Pavilion.

"Has the Bizarre Path released the Xuantian Immortal clan?"

Several powerful beings used calculative Immortal Dao secret techniques to probe the secrets of heaven, but to no avail.

Many strong individuals had participated in sealing the Xuantian Immortal clan and already harbored old grudges.

Even the combined forces of Immortals, Demons, and Monsters could not defeat the Bizarre Path. With the Xuantian Immortal clan breaking free, indeed, it's an ominous time.

The Flowing Immortal Pavilion was immediately pushed to the forefront of the storm as forces obtained information about the Flowing Immortal Pavilion and its backing through different means.

However, they were clearly a step too late in obtaining the information.

All Flowing Immortal Pavilions in the Donghua Immortal Domain had already become empty shells, long deserted.

"Xuantian Immortal clan, is it?"

A parrot appeared at the Yun Luo Xian Fang near the Ming Luo Hall, with rainbow-colored eyes swirling with strange power.

All immortals within the Star Stream Immortal Pavilion were forcibly plunged into dreams, their information about the Flowing Immortal Pavilion ripe for the plucking.

"Collecting such a massive amount of the Spirit Blood of All Beings? So you were hiding here!"

Thinking of being deceived and wasting a millennium in the Ming Luo Hall, the parrot's rainbow-colored eyes trembled violently.

No matter what, it must find the person who killed its offspring!

"Wicked beast aiding tyranny, the Donghua Immortal Domain is not your stopping ground, get out!"

A voice as thunderous as God's thunder echoed as the Power of the Thunder Great Dao manifested in the sky, and a huge figure surrounded by surging lightning obscured their face.

The figure was like a manifestation of thunder, black lightning entwining his body like a thunder python, exuding ultimate destruction.

"Nosy old thing!"

"One day, this saint will turn you into a puppet!"

The parrot spoke in human tongue without any resistance.

This was a puppet acting through the shell of another demon race, possessing decent combat strength, yet incapable of opposing a Dao Ancestor.

Nor could it escape from a Dao Ancestor's grasp, losing a puppet wasn't significant.

The Yun Luo Xian Fang vanished without a trace, leaving only a massive black void.

Countless electric serpents darted incessantly, lingering for a long time.

The parrot completely vanished, leaving no trace.

The shadow in the sky remotely absorbed the remaining black electric serpent, and without the nearly indestructible force wreaking havoc, the spatial black hole gradually restored to its original state.

The Yun Luo Xian Fang was utterly gone, and the once immortal beings and buildings vanished without a trace.

Jia Ren was unaware of what transpired at Yun Luo Xian Fang, unaware that the news of the suspected Xuantian Immortal clan's emergence had drawn the attention of many top-tier warriors.

All of Flowing Immortal Pavilion's treasures were reclaimed, carefully checked for special imprints and residual strong expert traces before being stored in the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl.

He didn't know how long the Xuantian Immortal clan could keep the top-tier warriors' attention, so he cautiously stayed within the Immortal Hidden Breath Realm.

Every day, besides refining the Immortal Elixirs brought back by the Heavenly Merchant Avatar into Elixirs.

Other times, with the aid of the Enlightenment Law and treasures, he studied inscriptions that carried the Power of Laws and the method to reforge the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl.

The time passed peacefully and richly.

The method for reforging the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl gradually improved, but limited by the quality of materials, it could only be crafted equivalent to a superior-grade Immortal Artifact.

A superior-grade Immortal Artifact can hold at most three hundred powers of laws, and must surpass the Daozang Scriptures, but even then, it still couldn't meet the requirements.

Unless a higher-tier supreme-grade Immortal Artifact was crafted.

This time, a higher version of the law-bearing method was deduced, but it required supreme-grade materials.

Such materials are rare, not overlooked by Daluo Golden Immortal and Dao Ancestor level strong beings.

The Flowing Immortal Pavilion was thriving and vibrant, but most of the immortal materials acquired were lower-grade and middle-grade; superior-grade materials were few and far between.

This level of treasure couldn't satisfy him. Even if ascending with Sacrificial Immortal Fire, the inscribed immortal patterns were unchangeable, the Spirit Law Immortal Jade inscribed did not meet standards and needed reforging.

The Daozang Scriptures provided by Master Zhuang Baoxiang can be used in transition, so there's no urgency temporarily.

He just hoped to prove the Dao by strength to break through the fourth Mysterious Barrier; once his combat power improved, he could then look for similar materials.

In the continuing time, life became monotonous and tedious.

The most peculiar thing was the Celestial Decline, which had yet to arrive.

What is the situation?

Could it be related to the Immortal Hidden Breath Realm?

Jia Ren grew suspicious, suspecting the absence of the Celestial Decline in the Golden Immortal Realm was linked to the Immortal Hidden Breath Realm.

According to time estimates, after reaching consummation in the Golden Immortal Realm, the Celestial Decline should occur within a thousand years at most.

Jia Ren took a deep breath, departing from the Heaven and Earth Mountain and Sea Pearl and the Immortal Hidden Breath Realm.

The result wasn't unexpected.

The Immortal Hidden Breath Realm indeed isolated the Celestial Decline, and as soon as he appeared in the Immortal Realm, he felt as if locked on by heaven and earth.

Two terrifying powers descended upon him.

The Celestial Decline simultaneously descended.
