Immortal of the Nine Realms

”Brother, the second-transformation herb won’t cost you much, and the Hundred Blood Dragon Gall is the same. But that Ageless Eye... its price is a bit steep,” said Mirror of the Universe with a calm and measured tone. ”I suggest you first spend your immortal crystals on locating the first two items, and then spend a portion more to gather information on the Ageless Eye.”

”How expensive is the Ageless Eye?” asked Fang Chen, slightly surprised.

He was surprised that information on the Ageless Eye was expensive. As far as he knew, it was only useful for achieving the fourth stage of the Radiant Divine Eye.

Mirror of the Universe replied, ”Its exact location will cost 12,000 immortal crystals. But if you just want information about it, it’s only 100 immortal crystals.”

Fang Chen’s mouth hung open in shock. ”12,000? And just 100 for the information?”

No wonder the Enlightenment God Palace doesn’t have it!

”Wait a moment,” said Fang Chen

He quickly left and approached Elder Qin to inquire about the Ageless Eye.

Elder Qin thought for a moment and replied, ”Ageless Eye? I haven’t heard of such a thing, but I can confirm that no one from the Enlightenment God Palace has ever found it. It’s possible it’s known by a different name in other places.”

Having served in the Hall of Merits for many years, if Elder Qin had never heard of it, it was likely that very few knew about the Ageless Eye.

Knowing the mirror’s pattern, the fewer people who know something, the greater the karmic entanglements surrounding it. Naturally, the price would be higher.

After returning to the boat’s cabin, Fang Chen asked about the prices of the first two spiritual materials.

”The second-transformation herb is 300 immortal crystals, while the Hundred Blood Dragon Gall only costs about 100 immortal crystals,” answered Mirror of the Universe.

”300, 100, and 100,” muttered Fang Chen, nodding.

Hetook out 500 immortal crystals and handed them over. He still had over a thousand immortal crystals on him, which was more than enough for emergencies. This degree of wealth was already beyond even fourth-transformation immortals.

After Mirror of the Universe consumed the immortal crystals, it asked Fang Chen to flip to pages 35, 62, and 89.

”Dao Sword Tooth. In ancient times, there was a beast called the Dao Sword. This beast had a body like a sword, its origin close to the Dao and the sword itself. It was naturally adept in all sword techniques, but its lifespan was short, and it could not live for long. It could be seen at the Drunken Fate Star’s Ascension Conference.”

”Hundred Blood Dragon Gall. A dragon lives for a thousand years to produce one drop of blood, and lives for a hundred thousand years to produce a Hundred Blood Dragon Gall. On the Ziyuan Star, there is the molted skin of a Taiyin Dragon that died, and within it, there is a Hundred Blood Dragon Gall. This can also be seen at the Ascension Conference.”

”Ageless Eye. The eye of an eighth-transformation Grand World Immortal, left behind after death. If it can remain unscathed for ten thousand years, it becomes the Ageless Eye.”

”Drunken Fate Star Ascension Conference?”

Fang Chen was surprised. He hadn’t expected that both the Dao Sword Tooth and the Hundred Blood Dragon Gall could be obtained at the same place. But what shocked him the most was the explanation of the Ageless Eye.

The eye of an eight-transformation Grand World Immortal?

”Radiant Divine Eye is the method of the Twilight Solar God Beast, and its purpose is to amplify the spiritual power of the heavens and earth. The special thing about Grand World Immortals is their ability to draw power from the annihilated eras. Could these two things be connected? Could it be that the fourth stage of the Radiant Divine Eye allows me to draw on the power of the annihilated eras as well?”

Fang Chen’s thoughts spiraled. No wonder Ji Sheng had once mentioned that the Radiant Divine Eye had an inheritance in the Minor Immortal Realm, but because the fourth stage was lost, it wasn’t highly regarded. Ji Sheng had said that without the fourth stage, the Radiant Divine Eye was considered ordinary.

”An eighth-transformation immortal... that’s the level of my senior sister. And Grand World Immortals, even the Enlightenment God Palace only recently acquired the methods for that path from an Anomaly, which means it has been lost for many years. 12,000 immortal crystals truly do reflect the extreme difficulty involved....”

Fang Chen couldn’t help but marvel. It seemed that finding the Ageless Eye on his own would be far more complicated than simply paying the 12,000 immortal crystals to Mirror of the Universe for the information.

Fang Chen suddenly asked, ”By the way, what exactly is the Formation Heart? How many immortal crystals do I need for information on that?”

”Formation Heart...” Mirror of the Universe pondered for a moment before replying, ”The price for that information isn’t high, as many people from the Enlightenment God Palace are aware of it. However, it’s still several times more expensive than the information regarding the Ageless Eye.”

”So, several hundred immortal crystals?”

Fang Chen thought for a moment, then decided to ask his senior sister about it when he had the chance instead. With her status and position, she should know quite a bit about the Formation Heart

Leaving the cabin, Fang Chen activated the Black Dragon Boat’s star map and began to examine it.

Along the way, every world was marked.

Fang Chen found the name Drunken Fate Star familiar, so he guessed he had seen it on the star map before. After carefully examining the route for nearly half an hour, he finally found the mark for Drunken Fate Star near their current path.

Coincidentally, Elder Qin was nearby, so Fang Chen casually asked, ”Elder Qin, what’s the history of Drunken Fate Star?”

Elder Qin looked slightly confused. ”Drunken Fate Star?”

It was actually Ji Gang, far in the distance, who laughed upon hearing the question and spoke up. ”Core Disciple Fang, have you been to Drunken Fate Star before? It’s home to a few sixth-transformation immortals and is somewhat known in the Fangcun Realm. They have strong ties with the Ten Thousand Star Palace.”

Fang Chen nodded thoughtfully. ”Several sixth-transformation immortals stationed there?”

He then surveyed the team.

The hundred Black Dragon Formations had now merged into a single entity, enveloped by a sky dome, traveling at an incredibly fast speed. As long as they remained within the sky dome, they wouldn’t be affected by the motion.

”Everyone, I’ll go ask my senior sister about something and will be right back,” said Fang Chen.

He transformed into a beam of light and flew toward the Black Dragon Boat where his Senior Sister was.

Several of the core disciples looked up and saw that it was Fang Chen, so they didn’t say anything. Had it been an external cultivator, leaving the boat unpermitted would result in punishment.

At that moment, the Hundred Battle Immortal Sovereign was channeling immortal essence into the Black Dragon Boat. When he saw Fang Chen approaching, he gave a subtle nod to the senior sister.

Arriving before her, Fang Chen respectfully cupped his hands in greeting. ”Senior Sister.”

The senior sister smiled. ”Junior Brother Fang, what brings you here today?”

”I wanted to inquire about Drunken Fate Star,” said Fang Chen. ”There might be some spiritual materials I need there. If we’re passing by it, would it be possible for me to stop and retrieve them?”

”Leaving the team midway?” Senior Sister’s brow furrowed slightly. ”Normally, that wouldn’t be allowed. If you leave the formation, we’d have to stop as well. However, Drunken Fate Star isn’t too far from our rest point. If you can handle the matter within ten days, we can wait for you. At most, we’ll deduct those ten days from the rest period.”

She paused for a moment, then added, ”Unless it’s a particularly important spiritual material, there’s no need to waste this time. I remember you still have some merit points left. You could exchange them at the Hall of Merits.”

Fang Chen wore a wry smile. ”The Merit Hall doesn’t have it. But this material is very important to me, so I have no other choice. I ask for your understanding.”

”Not even the Hall of Merit has it?”

This immediately piqued her curiosity, but she didn’t press further. Instead, she agreed to give Fang Chen some time to handle his affairs.

Fang Chen suddenly asked, ”By the way, Senior Sister, I’ve always been curious. What exactly is the Formation Heart?”

The Hundred Battle Immortal Sovereign and others immediately perked up, their gazes shifting toward the senior sister. They were curious too. Clearly, they didn’t know what the Formation Heart was, nor why it was considered so special.

”You want to know?” Senior Sister smiled and nodded. ”I shouldn’t really be telling you, but... I’m in a good mood today. Come with me, and I’ll show you.”

With that, she led Fang Chen away, and the others watched with interest, clearly intrigued by the mystery surrounding the Formation Heart.
