The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2462: Chapter 2462: Tianyin Building

The number of treasures in the Chaotic Primordial Space is extremely scarce, and most cultivators who venture there in search of luck return empty-handed and helpless. However, once a treasure is discovered in the Chaotic Primordial Space, it becomes an extraordinary gem.

Obtaining a treasure in the Chaotic Primordial Space is akin to a drastic change of fortune.

Back in the day, Black River Heavenly Monarch discovered a Black River in the Chaotic Primordial Space, a unique life form. After merging with the Black River, Black River Heavenly Monarch gained an immensely strong physical body, making it exceedingly difficult even for powerful cultivators in the Immortal Venerable Realm to kill him.

Apart from natural treasures, the Chaotic Primordial Space also hosts special locations like relics.

The Yama Palace discovered a relic in the Chaotic Primordial Space over a hundred thousand years ago, and Chen Feng and Zhao Yijun, the two Black-clothed Killing Stars, were tasked with opening this relic as their previous mission.

It’s important to know that ordinary cultivators can’t survive in the Chaotic Primordial Space; even cultivators at the Immortal Venerable Peak Realm cannot linger there for long. Thus, it’s easy to deduce what cultivation level the person who left the relic in the Chaotic Primordial Space must have had—it was likely left by an Immortal Emperor. And how valuable is an Immortal Emperor’s relic?

Nonetheless, it doesn’t mean that cultivators with lower cultivation levels cannot venture into the depths of the Chaotic Primordial Space. They just can’t rely on themselves alone; they can use things like the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat to explore the Chaotic Primordial Space. The only problem is that the cost of constructing a Heavenly Domain Flying Boat is unimaginably high, and the ship tickets are so expensive that ordinary cultivators cannot afford them. Even the lowest level ship ticket for the Sky Wing Flying Boat from the Tianji Trading House costs a billion Black Crystal Stones.

It is unrealistic for ordinary cultivators to board the Sky Wing Flying Boat and search for treasures deep within the Chaotic Primordial Space.

Moreover, even if you purchase a ticket, a force like the Tianji Trading House would absolutely not allow you to leave at will in the middle of your journey, nor would they let the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat stop and wait. Every activation and halt of the Heavenly Domain Flying Boat consumes a vast amount of resources—who could bear such losses?

However, the Celestial Void Eye provides cultivators with such an opportunity. Even ordinary cultivators at the Immortal Charm Realm can survive relatively safely in the Chaotic Primordial Space for over a month using the Celestial Heavenly Eye Pill. If one prepares more Celestial Void Eyes, it is not impossible to venture further in the Chaotic Primordial Space.

The price of the Celestial Void Eye is much lower than that of the Nine-star Primordial Spirit Pill, with a market price of about forty million Black Crystal Stones. However, the Nine-star Primordial Spirit Pill is only usable for cultivators in the Immortal Venerable Realm, while theoretically, the Celestial Void Eye can be used by any cultivator. Due to these characteristics, the sales of Celestial Void Eye are quite substantial.

If the Celestial Void Eye sold by Hongmeng Pill Tower is effective, it will undoubtedly attract many cultivators beyond the Thunder Domain, and some forces may even come to Hongmeng City to purchase this elixir.

”In the coming period, refine more Celestial Void Eyes for reserve, and then find a suitable opportunity to announce the sale of Hongmeng Pill Tower’s second kind of Top Grade Immortal Pill.”

”After that, I’ll try refining Qianhe Zhenye! Hopefully, during the refining process, I will be inspired and can perfect Qianhe Zhenye’s Pill Formula.” Jing Yan put away the Celestial Void Eye in his hand, slowly changing his thoughts in heart.

Just as Jing Yan walked out of the Alchemy Room, Grand Steward Bai Han came over.

”City Lord!” Bai Han saluted Jing Yan.

The people like Bai Han call Jing Yan City Lord at Jing Yan’s special request. If they were to call him Young Master, outsiders might become suspicious. After all, the title Young Master is quite special, as it implies being the child of a force leader or part of the direct lineage. For the sake of propriety, Jing Yan asked Bai Han and others to call him City Lord instead of Young Master.

”Grand Steward, has there been anything happening recently?” Jing Yan asked casually.

”City Lord, as per your orders, we are closely monitoring the actions of Yama Palace, and we haven’t discovered anything yet. It might be that the current intelligence agency’s capabilities are insufficient to detect subtle changes.” Bai Han replied.

”Hmm, Yama Palace would definitely seek revenge after I killed four Red-clothed Killing Stars. Now, with no major moves, they must be preparing.” Jing Yan dismissed with a wave of his hand.

”Second, Xu Yiming came to see the City Lord a few days ago, and I told him the City Lord was in seclusion. He mentioned nothing very important, only that Ding Hong had succeeded.” Bai Han continued.

Bai Han didn’t know who Ding Hong was, so he was confused and didn’t understand Xu Yiming’s words.

Succeeded? Succeeded in what? Bai Han wanted to ask for details, but Xu Yiming didn’t elaborate.

Upon hearing Bai Han’s words, Jing Yan’s eyes lit up. He understood Xu Yiming’s meaning, that Ding Hong had succeeded, which clearly meant Ding Hong had officially become a Soul Cultivator, possibly having truly mastered Soul Techniques, at least able to exhibit part of Soul Technique power.

”Excellent, very good!” Jing Yan expressed his delight.

Seeing City Lord Jing Yan so pleased, Bai Han realized Xu Yiming’s matter might not be trivial.

”City Lord, should I call Xu Yiming over?” Bai Han asked.

”No rush, wait a bit!” Jing Yan chuckled and said, ”Grand Steward, you’re still unaware that Ding Hong possesses a high Soul Cultivation Talent, and Xu Yiming has been guiding him to pursue Soul Cultivation, right?”

”Ah?” Bai Han was astonished.

”There are very few cultivators with Soul Cultivation Talent, so forming a team of soul cultivators must be done gradually. Fortunately, with Xu Yiming here, Hongmeng City can form a soul cultivation team. As long as there are more than ten soul cultivators, the deterrence will be great.” Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed.

Regarding this matter of forming a soul cultivation team, there’s no need to conceal it from Bai Han, the Grand Steward. If Jing Yan didn’t trust Bai Han, it’s unlikely he would be appointed as Grand Steward. The power of the Grand Steward is quite significant; in Hongmeng City, Bai Han’s status is only below Jing Yan and Wuxia.

Bai Han took a deep breath, steadying himself.

”Third, Supervisor Ru Li came over half a month ago, saying that the Manager of the Tianyin Building Thunder Domain branch had assessed Hongmeng City. Our Hongmeng City might be selected on the Tianyin City list shortly.” Bai Han continued reporting to Jing Yan.

Tianyin Building is a very special institution within Kunling Sky Domain. This force can’t be observed with ordinary eyes—it’s difficult to say whether it’s strong or weak.

If considered strong, Tianyin Building doesn’t have many members, and cultivators of the Immortal Venerable Realm within are rare. If considered weak, the Building Owner of Tianyin Building is a direct disciple of an Immortal Emperor, and this Immortal Emperor occasionally appears in Kunling Heaven. With such relations, who dares to provoke?

Moreover, Tianyin Building as a force doesn’t compete for territories or resources like typical forces. It is more accurately described as an intelligence agency.
