Myriad Paths of the Dragon Emperor

”How many people do you have? What is their cultivation level?”

Lu Ming asked.

Gou Jian was delighted. He knew that Lu Ming was interested. He replied,” I’ve already invited four fellow Daoists. Including you, Fellow Daoist Ye Chen, there are a total of six people.”

” The Twelve True Palaces have given the order that before the passageway is opened, no one is allowed to enter the Second Heaven without permission. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy.”

Lu Ming said calmly.

” That’s why we can’t let more people know about this, especially the Upper Race and the Supreme Venerate Race. They’re in a deep relationship. If they find out, we won’t stand a chance anymore.”

Gou Jian said.

”Are you all from the Ping Clan?”

Lu Ming asked.

”Not bad!”

Gou Jian nodded.

”But, I’m a higher race too.”

Lu Ming said seriously.

Gou Jian’s smile grew wider.” Although the Xia Clan is a higher race, it has only recently risen. In the past, it was just a Dust Race. I’m afraid that you are not well-liked in the circle of higher races. Your relationship with the Supreme Venerable Race and the other higher races is very shallow.”

”Is this the reason you invited me?”

Lu Ming said.

”Of course not. The old me naturally has sufficient reasons to invite you. Firstly, your strength is very strong. Previously, when you fought with the Armadillo clan, the old me happened to pass by and secretly observed you. Your speed is extremely fast. The candidates who enter the second level this time around must first have extremely fast speed. This is because although the second level has entered the aftershock of the great eruption, it is still filled with danger. Without speed, you will only be a burden.”

” Secondly, Fellow Daoist Ye was originally the lord of the mountain region, an overlord of a region. He had the cultivation of the Great All-Embracing Immortal Emperor, but he didn’t allow the Xia Clan to advance to the Ping Clan. Clearly, he had ambitions. He wanted to advance the Xia Clan after breaking through to the Artisan Realm and become the ancestor of a higher race. He wouldn’t be willing to be below others.”

”On this basis, I analyzed that the probability of you going to the Second Heaven with us is very high, so I came out to invite you.”

Gou Jian had a confident look on his face.

Lu Ming was speechless.

It was true that he wasn’t willing to be inferior to others, but if he said that he deliberately didn’t allow the Xia Clan to advance, then he was wronged. His cultivation base had never reached the Great Luo Immortal Emperor.

But to be honest, Lu Ming was indeed tempted.

Now, the second heaven was like a peerless treasure land that had not been developed. If one went in first, there would definitely be shocking gains.

However, the danger was also not small. Once they were discovered by the True Palace, it would be a serious crime.

Also, the Second Heaven itself was in danger.

”Fellow Daoist, please allow me to consider for a while.”

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and said.

”Such a big matter is naturally easy to consider. It just so happens that we also need to make some preparations. This old man will give Fellow Daoist three months. If Fellow Daoist decides to go, you can crush this soul token and this old man will come to see you.”

Gou Jian handed Lu Ming a soul token and left. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Lu Ming’s senses.

Lu Ming knew that Gou Jian’s appearance and life force were not real. He must have dealt with it.

If Lu Ming did not agree and reported their motive to the True Palace, Gou Jian would be in danger. Naturally, he would not use his true appearance and aura to meet Lu Ming.

Needless to say, the names were all fake.

”Second Heaven…”

Lu Ming muttered. His eyes flickered and he finally made a decision.

If he wanted to quickly step into the Creator realm and revive his family, how could he not take risks?

However, he had to be fully prepared before he went over.

The next day, Lu Ming left the mineral vein silently and headed north.

To the north of the mine, there was a huge city built by the Ten Thousand Arts Palace. The experts of the various races and forces would enter this city to trade for treasures they obtained in the First Heaven.

Therefore, the city’s commerce was extremely developed.

Before entering the Second Heaven, Lu Ming had to buy some resources, such as immortal medicine that could help him recover his cultivation base quickly, treasures that could help him recover faster, and immortal pills that could help him recover his Chaos Ultimacy.

Soon, Lu Ming entered the city.

There were many shops on the street and many private stalls on the side of the street. All kinds of creatures came and went in an endless stream.

Lu Ming did not stop there. They were all low-level goods and he did not fancy them at all.

His target was a private exchange in the city’s core. Those who could enter were at least Universe-Grade.

After turning a few streets, Lu Ming came to a special building.

Many True Immortals and Immortal Kings would look at this building with reverence and yearning in their eyes, hoping that they would one day be able to enter it.

”Stop!”

At the entrance, two half-step Universe-level creatures who looked like ferocious tigers stopped Lu Ming.

”Only Universe-Grade Immortal Emperors can enter this place…”

A ferocious tiger said. However, before he could finish, a terrifying aura emanated from Lu Ming.

The two tigers seemed to be used to it. They immediately changed the topic.” So it’s Senior Immortal Emperor. Senior is qualified to enter.”

After saying that, he opened the door and walked through the door under the envious gazes of many people.

Someone welcomed Lu Ming into a hall.

There were already more than 200 living beings of different forms sitting in the hall. However, all of them were Universe-Grade existences.

Each of these Universe-Grades had a small table in front of them. There were one to ten treasures placed on the table, and the prices of the treasures were indicated.

Lu Ming came to a table and sat down. Then, he spread out his immortal perception and observed the tables one by one.

A moment later, Lu Ming’s eyes lit up.

He saw two crystals on a table. They were filled with the power of lightning and were extremely dense.

This was the lightning treasure that the Chaos Gourd needed.

Lu Ming stood up and walked over. The owner of the crystal was a dog.

At the very least, it had the appearance of a dog, and its fur was as black as ink.

”Fellow cultivator, how much are these two lightning crystals?”

Lu Ming asked.

” Two Thunder Spirit Crystals and two thousand Reality Crystals.”

the black dog said.

Lu Ming sneered in his heart. Two thousand Reality Crystals was really an exorbitant price.

One must know that the Xia Clan’s mineral vein only produced ten thousand True Crystal Stones a year.

”Two hundred dollars!”

Lu Ming said coldly.

What was that?

The black dog almost jumped up. 2,000 dollars was directly reduced to 200 dollars. Was this haggling?

” A thousand dollars. I can’t go any lower.”

The black dog said with its eyes wide open.

”Three hundred!”

Lu Ming said calmly, as if he was leaving if he did not want to sell it.

After a round of bargaining, Lu Ming finally bought two Thunder Spirit Crystals for 500 True Crystal Stones.

Then, Lu Ming continued to look around. There were not many top-notch treasures of the thunder element. Lu Ming bought another one and found nothing else.

As for the Primal Chaos Destruction Gem that Tang Feng needed, it was even rarer. There was not a single bit of it.

On the other hand, the immortal pills, immortal herbs, and medicinal liquids that Lu Ming needed were relatively common. He bought them very quickly.

Then, Lu Ming dealt with the few treasures that he had no use for and exchanged them for Reality Crystals. He planned to leave.

However, just as Lu Ming was about to leave, his body suddenly trembled. His eyes revealed a complicated expression of shock, anticipation, and so on.

On a table, he saw an ancient stone the size of a goose egg. The stone was covered with wonderful patterns.

This was the main body of an immortal technique.

Furthermore, it was an immortal technique from Universe Ocean.
