Chapter 1194: Chapter 636: Finally Arriving at the Immortal Realm Continent

Song Chi was naturally pleased with this outcome, as it could significantly increase his chances of acquiring High Rank Oddities and top resources in the future.

After all, no creature can remain calm when death is imminent. Since the Zhu Tian Ruins Market offers them this last lifeline, they will naturally take out everything they have at their disposal in a desperate attempt to grasp this final straw.

...

Perhaps Zhang Lingxuan hadn’t prepared to enter the Immortal Domain Continent again, or maybe the Luofu Sword Sect had too many trivial matters to attend to, hence the [Projection Emperor Stone] had not yet been activated.

Song Chi wasn’t worried about this. The Immortal Domain Continent Ruins had been drifting through the Void Sea Dark Side for hundreds of thousands of years. Its current state and whether there were unimaginable dangers were still unknown, so there was no way he’d send the [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] itself for exploration; it was far too risky.

A person of great wealth doesn’t expose themselves to unnecessary dangers, a principle he understood better than anyone.

Before officially exploring the Immortal Domain Continent Ruins, they had to wait for the [Mirror Image Splitting] component to cool down, and then continue the exploration gradually with a Mirror Image Warship.

But he didn’t have to wait too long.

Primordial Continent, Luofu Realm, Luofu Sword Sect.

The Luofu Sword Sect stands deep within the Luofu Mountain Range, owning several main peaks and a peak Fifth Level spiritual vein, one of the rare spirit lands in the Primordial world.

On this day, many figures gathered in the sect’s main hall, among them were Zhang Lingxuan and Zhou Ping.

"Sect Master, you’ve summoned all Nascent Soul cultivators from the sect for discussions this time. Are we preparing to reopen exploration of the Immortal Domain Continent?"

Once everyone had arrived, an Elder at the Divinity Transformation Stage spoke first.

Over the past few centuries, the Luofu Sword Sect has evolved beyond its former self, wielding Zhu Tian Ruins Market’s super trade channel that connects to various domains within the Endless Star Sea, fostering rapid development.

Besides Zhang Lingxuan’s own successful advancement to Returning to Void, several older Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect have also ascended to Divinity Transformation, far surpassing the past.

Upon hearing the Divinity Transformation Elder’s words, the expressions of the dozens of Nascent Soul Elders seated below the hall all changed.

Someone soon commented:

"Sect Master, we absolutely cannot do this. Although the Luofu Sword Sect has developed rapidly over the past few centuries, it still can’t resist True Immortal might. Venturing to the Immortal Domain Continent now is extremely dangerous."

"Indeed, Sect Master, please reconsider!"

...

Listening to the numerous objections from below, Zhang Lingxuan’s hand beneath his robe clenched tightly around the golden-colored [Ruins Market Projection Rank].

Having returned to the sect for a while, he had not yet disclosed the [Ruins Market Projection Rank].

The reason: the sect harbors spies from other factions.

Disregarding the objections from below, Zhang Lingxuan spoke resolutely.

"Enough said. I’ve made my decision to organize disciples for another exploration of the Immortal Domain Continent in three days!"

A sigh filled the main hall, the elders’ expressions were somber.

They didn’t speak further, for everyone knew that once their Sect Master decided on something, it was difficult to change.

However, upon closer inspection, a hidden sneer could be seen in the eyes of an elderly Nascent Soul cultivator in a corner of the hall.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. With numerous factions watching, the Luofu Sword Sect dispatched an elite team. Carried on a Fifth Rank spiritual vessel, they proudly headed toward the [Ascension Platform], with Sect Master Zhang Lingxuan among them.

Thus far, no faction dared make a move.

Being a Sword Cultivator sect, and with the Pure Yang Sword Sect gradually declining, the Luofu Sword Sect has gradually claimed the title of top martial power in the Primordial world over the past few centuries.

After all, in the cultivation civilization system, sword cultivators have always had crushing combat power within the same rank.

Though Zhang Lingxuan is a latecomer among Returning to Void cultivators, his combat power is exceptional, facing ancient ancestors at the peak of Returning to Void who have lived over ten thousand years with no fear. Now that Zhang Lingxuan has recovered, other forces naturally dare not act recklessly.

Primordial Continent, Taiyi Domain.

Deep within the Taiyi Immortal Gate’s mountain gates, an ancient voice echoed.

"A suddenly rich family is still a suddenly rich family; what does it matter if they’ve become a top Immortal Dao sect on this Primordial Continent? Once Zhang Lingxuan dies, the Luofu Sword Sect won’t be able to stir any waves!"

"He was just lucky; he managed to recover from such severe injuries before. But this time, there will be no surprises. Our Taiyi Immortal Gate, Purple Cloud Sect, and Heart Demon Sect’s True Immortal ancestors will act together, determined to capture that black Pill Furnace!"

Although Zhang Lingxuan didn’t know the plans of the other sects, he could guess the gist. Cold light flashed across his eyes as a hint of eagerness welled within him.

He was very curious to see what kind of reaction those people would have when the [Lord of Zhu Tian Ruins Market] made a move.

In ancient times, only Returning to Void cultivators could activate the [Ascension Platform] to ascend to the Immortal Realm, but now that the Immortal Realm has collapsed, the rules have long since changed.

Now, even Golden Core cultivators can use this [Ascension Platform] to directly travel to the Immortal Domain Continent Ruins.

Soon, the people of the Luofu Sword Sect began to step onto the [Ascension Platform] one after another, being transported in groups to the Immortal Domain Continent.

Zhang Lingxuan naturally was among the first group. He wasn’t certain about what was on the other side of the [Ascension Platform] and needed to go over first to see for himself.

Unexpectedly, the anticipated attack did not come until more than two hundred people from the Luofu Sword Sect had all completed the transmission.

"All elders and disciples listen to the order, proceed directly to our Sword Sect..."

Before he could finish speaking, three piercing sounds cut through the eternally dark vault of heaven, followed by the vast pressure belonging to Tribulation Crossing True Immortals descending from three completely different directions, enveloping all over two hundred people of the Luofu Sword Sect.

"Taiyi Immortal Gate, Purple Cloud Sect, Heart Demon Sect, you waited until all our disciples had been transmitted over before you acted, so you’re planning not to let a single one of my Luofu Sword Sect survive?"

Zhang Lingxuan did not seem surprised, but his tone was extremely cold.

Facing his question, the two old men in Daoist robes, who looked full of celestial aura, did not speak, while the True Immortal cultivator from Heart Demon Sect, with a pale face and a thick sinister aura, burst out in a cackling laugh:

"Boy, your mistake was taking something that never belonged to you!"

"Hand over the item, and I can spare you the pain of the Myriad Demons Devouring Heart!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, a figure suddenly leapt out from the crowd behind Zhang Lingxuan.

"Yin Li, the 128th-generation disciple of the Heart Demon Sect, pays respects to the ancestor!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lingxuan’s eyes narrowed. He recognized this person as one of the elders of the Luofu Sword Sect, who had just recently advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Very well, now that the mole within the sect has revealed themselves, there’s no need to continue this charade!"

After saying this, without paying attention to the confusion in the eyes of the three True Immortal cultivators above, Zhang Lingxuan directly took out the [Ruins Market Projection Rank].

"Zhang Lingxuan of the Luofu Sword Sect, respectfully welcomes the descent of the [Lord of Zhu Tian Ruins Market]!"

As he spoke, spiritual power from within him surged wildly into this golden token.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Massive amounts of purple mist emanated from the void, and in the blink of an eye, the perpetually dark vault of heaven was covered by endless Purple Mist Energy. Soon, a ruins market projection condensed from this Purple Mist Energy.

The cultivators of the Luofu Sword Sect behind Zhang Lingxuan were momentarily slow to react, except for Zhou Ping, whose face was full of excitement. Having mingled in the Markets of the Heavens for centuries, he was well aware of the strength of the [Lord of the Market].

No surprises occurred. After the projection of the Markets of the Heavens condensed, the ancestors of the three major sects, [Taiyi Immortal Gate], [Purple Cloud Sect], and [Heart Demon Sect], barely managed to utter a sentence.

"This is a Golden Immortal..."

Before they could finish speaking, three purple mist hand seals extended from the Ruins Market Purple Mist Projection and successively landed on their heads.

No fish escaping the net, the three of them... no, it should be four, were all blasted to death in one strike.

It was not that the combat power of the [Markets of the Heavens] had been enhanced. The reason for the one-strike kills of the three True Immortal cultivators, who were comparable to Seventh-Rank Dominators, was primarily because all three had been in the Seventh Rank for only a little over a hundred years, their combat power was very limited.

Secondly, they originally were living beings from the Primordial Continent, and on this Immortal Realm Continent, they lacked the support of the Floating Land Original Will, making them easy prey for the market projection.

In fact, Song Chi was somewhat surprised. He had intended to try to capture one or two to see if enslavement was possible, since they all had Dominator Combat Power, but surprisingly, they were all so weak.

Although enslavement was not possible, he did not give up on the three True Immortal corpses, planning to later bring them back using the Void Beast Skin. Not to mention the possible treasures on them, even just the value of three drops of Dominant Origin Blood was significant.

Below, Zhang Lingxuan’s eyes shone brightly. To see three True Immortal cultivators being blasted away with a wave of a hand thoroughly underscored the unmatched mighty power of the [Lord of Zhu Tian Ruins Market]. Now that he was already bound with the Markets of the Heavens, the stronger the [Lord of the Market] was, the higher his future status and limits would be.

For him, this was undoubtedly the best news.

"Alright, everyone follow the order and head to the sect headquarters first!"

After the Luofu Sword Sect cultivators left, Zhang Lingxuan, under the gaze of the market projection above, took out the [Projection Emperor Stone].

As he continued to inject spiritual power into it, the Projection Emperor Stone soon emitted a large amount of Spectral Energy, and eventually condensed a warship projection, tens of thousands of meters long, beneath the market projection.

Just as Zhang Lingxuan was curiously observing this warship projection, it suddenly transformed from virtual to real before his astonished eyes, finally becoming a streamlined steel warship.

This was not the end. After the warship’s miraculous transformation from virtual to real, there was another movement quickly following. All it took was a whoosh--- sound, and the warship’s cabin door was suddenly opened, from which a gray shadow flew out.
