Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 3759: The Human Sovereign’s Purpose

The World Tree Great Spirit Domain was dominated by humanity, and within the trading market, over ninety percent of the participants were human.

The woman before Lin Moyu was an innate eighth tier soul cultivator at the Great Dao level a remarkable existence in any world.

Yet here, amidst a trading market filled with Great Dao cultivators, she seemed quite ordinary.

Lin Moyu glanced at her and asked: “A guide? What do I need to pay?”

The woman’s eyes lit up slightly upon hearing Lin Moyu’s interest. “Senior, you only need to pay one soul pearl.”

Soul pearls? Lin Moyu had never heard of them before.

However, he wasn’t concerned soul pearls likely weren’t particularly valuable, and he was confident he could find a substitute if needed.

As Lin Moyu observed her, he noted that even as a soul body, her unique aura as a Great Dao cultivator was unmistakable.

She wore an exquisite soul garment that radiated a soft glow, complementing her beautiful appearance and giving her an ethereal presence akin to a celestial maiden.

Such a figure should have been revered in the real world, worshipped by thousands and standing above all. Why would she be working as a guide here for just one soul pearl?

Unless the world she came from was so saturated with Great Dao cultivators that even someone like her was unremarkable.

Lin Moyu asked: “What’s your name?”

The woman’s clear voice rang out as she bowed again: “Junior Qin Qin greets you.”

Lin Moyu said: “Then introduce this place to me.”

Qin Qin smiled faintly with joy. “Very well. Senior must be visiting Spring Encounter Small Spirit Domain for the first time and you’re not from the World Tree Great Spirit Domain either.”

Lin Moyu raised an eyebrow: “What makes you say that?”

Qin Qin explained: “Because of the virtual beast at your feet. In our domain, due to the relationship between the Human Sovereign and the World Tree Emperor, cultivators here hunt virtual beasts, and there are often conflicts between Small Spirit Domain Kings and cultivators.”

She paused briefly before glancing at Little Python and continuing: “But cultivators here do not keep virtual beasts as pets.”

Lin Moyu asked: “Is that so absolute?”

Qin Qin nodded firmly: “Yes, which is why Senior must not be from this domain.”

Lin Moyu inquired further: “And how do you know this is my first time here?”

Qin Qin replied: “Because virtual beasts are not allowed into the trading market. If Senior proceeds further, the formation will activate and expel your virtual beast.”

Lin Moyu chuckled: “I see. Little Python, go wait inside for now.”

Little Python responded promptly: “As you wish, Master.”

Lin Moyu casually threw out a Divine Rune to contain Little Python within it before storing it in his spatial space.

Qin Qin looked surprised. “Senior’s virtual beast has intelligence?”

Lin Moyu replied nonchalantly: “What’s so strange about that?”

While virtual beasts were generally not highly intelligent, there were exceptions something Lin Moyu had always considered normal.

Qin Qin explained: “To our knowledge, virtual beasts lack intelligence unless they become Small Spirit Domain Kings.”

This revelation made Lin Moyu reflect on his experiences in the World Tree Great Spirit Domain indeed, all the virtual beasts he had encountered here acted purely on instinct without any sign of intelligence.

This distinction set the World Tree Great Spirit Domain apart from others like Golden Furnace it seemed each domain had its unique characteristics.

Qin Qin proved to be talkative as she led Lin Moyu into the trading market.

Spring Encounter Small Spirit Domain housed nine trading markets, all situated atop massive leaves.

Each leaf was vast akin to a small world and all nine leaves grew from a single branch.

The nine trading markets were numbered from one to nine, arranged from bottom to top.

The ninth market stood high above reserved exclusively for the Human Sovereign’s realm. Only powerful figures from that realm could conduct business there; Great Dao Lords were common, and Great Dao cultivators were everywhere.

These nine markets collectively hosted more than half of all Great Dao cultivators and Lords within the World Tree Great Spirit Domain the exact number unknown.

Knowing it was Lin Moyu’s first visit, Qin Qin explained soul pearls to him.

Soul pearls served as the universal currency within the trading market. While bartering was common among cultivators, soul pearls provided an alternative when no suitable items for exchange were available.

Soul pearls were jointly created by the Human Sovereign and World Tree Emperor impossible for outsiders to counterfeit.

Beyond their use as currency, soul pearls also aided cultivation.

They contained both real and illusory power that could be refined to enhance one’s cultivation a highly effective method reportedly superior to hunting virtual beasts for soul essence.

Many traded treasures for large quantities of soul pearls specifically for cultivation purposes with excellent results.

Hearing about their benefits clarified things for Lin Moyu it was evident that the Human Sovereign had done much to aid humanity’s cultivation efforts.

After reaching the Great Dao level, progress slowed significantly a challenge faced by countless cultivators on the Origin Continent as well.

Unable to endure their slow comprehension of Daos, many resorted to hunting virtual beasts in Soul Void for soul essence a dangerous endeavor that claimed many lives.

With soul pearls available such risks could be avoided entirely while greatly accelerating cultivation speed.

However creating soul pearls required collaboration between emperors imbuing them with real illusory power at an extremely high cost.

“Another act of boundless merit,” Lin Moyu thought with admiration.

The Human Sovereign’s actions had undoubtedly reached heights few could achieve but Lin Moyu pondered deeper motives behind them.

He believed there must be benefits for the Human Sovereign at such levels of power it was unlikely he acted without purpose.

“Having become a master of Great Daos and entered the Returning Origin Land eternal and indestructible what more could he seek?”

For now Lin Moyu lacked sufficient understanding to grasp the Human Sovereign’s ultimate goals fully.

From what he could see the Human Sovereign’s efforts greatly benefited humanity within the World Tree Great Spirit Domain countless individuals reaping rewards from his actions.

Qin Qin led Lin Moyu into Market One the lowest tier among trading markets and typically where newcomers began their journey.

Items traded here were relatively low tier but occasionally treasures could still be found amidst them.

Qin Qin explained further: “In this market rank doesn’t matter; only transaction volume counts. Once Senior completes transactions totaling 100 soul pearls you may proceed to Market Two.”

“A transaction volume of 300 soul pearls grants access to Market Three but entering Market Four requires 1,000 soul pearls with requirements increasing exponentially thereafter.”

Every place had its rules and Lin Moyu accepted this without issue.

He remarked: “I don’t have any soul pearls on me.”

Qin Qin reassured him: “That’s normal for first time visitors. The Human Sovereign and World Tree Emperor have established exchange centers within each market where Senior can obtain soul pearls.”

“However soul pearls acquired through exchanges don’t count toward transaction volume.”

Lin Moyu asked: “How is transaction volume calculated?”

Qin Qin smiled mysteriously: “You’ll understand when you reach the exchange center they’ll explain everything clearly I wouldn’t want to risk giving incorrect information.”
