Chapter 255: Floating Island, Sea Accumulation Cloud
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the entire Great Mountain Region, only Shu Mountain’s Shenshan Jianyi had the Ancient Dust Sword that reached the level of medium-grade Earth-rank.
Its might was so strong that it instantly suppressed the Soul Formation elder of the Mu family in the Great Mountain Cultivation Assembly.
Originally, when one reached the level above the Nascent Soul realm, the Soul Formation realm, one would start transforming into an immortal! Such cultivators had already begun to shed their mortal bodies. None of them were simple people.
In a battle of the same level, even if there was a difference, it was not so easy to determine the winner.
However, when Shenshan Jianyi faced the Mu family’s Soul Formation cultivator, he seemed to be so powerful.
Among them, the power of Shenshan Jianyi was naturally undisputed. However, among them, the medium-grade Earth-rank Ancient Dust Sword also played a decisive role.
It was even enough for high-level cultivators of their level to fight across realms.
On the other hand, Jiang Li’s Yin Burial Coffin was originally an artifact forged according to the design plan of an ancient divine artifact.
However, due to the restrictions of materials and spiritual qi in this era, the final product’s effect had shrunk to this extent.
Without adding the coffin nails, there was only the awkward high-grade Profound-rank.
Fortunately, after soaking in the underwater graveyard for a hundred or two years, this coffin finally landed in Jiang Li’s hands.
Under his investment, he did not care about the cost.
The Yin Burial Coffin was nourished and strengthened. Under the effects of spiritual qi, demon blood, ghosts, and the Nine Nether Wood, it was slowly replenished.
Previously, when Jiang Li broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm, he had successfully crossed the threshold and advanced to an Earth-rank artifact.
Now, he had inserted another coffin nail into it, allowing it to reach a higher grade.
If all seven coffin nails were inserted, who knew what level this coffin would reach in the end.
…
Seven days later, in front of the Myriad Sun Building in Phoenix Sun City.
Standing at the end of the crowded street, Jiang Li looked at the immortal mystic realm above him and could not help but click his tongue in wonder.
Jiang Li originally thought that the auction hall of the Myriad Sun Building was only a venue on the upper level of this building.
Now that he was at the scene, he realized that this was not the case.
That auction was simply held on an island that floated in the sky all year round!
When he saw the entire Long Clear Hall rise into the sky during the sect competition, he was still surprised by the power of cultivators and proud of the strength of the sect.
He did not expect that after arriving in Phoenix Sun City, he would realize that his knowledge in the Great Mountain Region was too lacking.
The Scripture Storage Valley’s wealth paled in comparison to such a large city in the Eastern Region.
Just crashing down this island was enough to destroy a sect.
At the entrance of the Myriad Sun Building, more than a hundred beautiful female cultivators with smiles on their faces were serving customers and guiding guests to board the floating auction.
Behind them, dozens of indifferent-looking black-clothed guards with high-grade artifacts and weapons stood quietly in hiding.
Sharp gazes swept through the crowd, preventing any dangerous situations from happening.
From the aura that faintly seeped out of these guards, he could tell there were actually ten people inside who were all serious and genuine Golden Core cultivators.
The rest were at least at the Core Formation realm.
In a place that Jiang Li could not see, there might be even stronger cultivators silently watching everything.
In the Great Mountain Region, Golden Core cultivators were high-level elders who could hold their own.
However, there were ten Golden Cores here.
This was something that the Great Mountain could not imagine.
All aspects of this place were enough to show the huge difference between Phoenix Sun City and the Great Mountain Region.
However, Jiang Li was not discouraged. Only a larger stage could allow him to grow faster. As long as the statuses stacked on him were sufficient, Jiang Li was confident that he would not lose to anyone.
Today, the crowd in front of the Myriad Sun Building was especially crowded.
This was because according to the list of items revealed by the organizers this time, the final items were Earth-rank medicinal pills that could defy the heavens and change fate, ancient Divine Dao Arts, and extremely powerful Earth-rank artifacts!
Many people had never seen these things in their lives. Even if they were unable to purchase them, it was good to take a look.
Furthermore, the Myriad Sun Building was very smart. Every time it held an auction, it would release some incomplete ancient texts and strange items that were difficult to determine the exact value.
There were also some good things that were really among them.
As a result, there were often scenes of lucky cultivators picking up treasures at low prices in this auction.
This greatly struck the hearts of those ordinary cultivators with small capital.
If they took a gamble, what if they got it! From now on, their lives would go in different directions. The peak of their lives was waving at them.
This kind of legendary publicity was the most motivating. Some deliberately released “leftovers” could bring back a hundred times the profits in the long term.
Jiang Li and the others walked in the crowd. At this moment, the surrounding voices suddenly became much quieter, and the nearby human flow started to disperse to both sides. The center of the road quickly formed a vacuum.
Then, a group of cold-faced cultivators walked over from the empty passage in the middle.
There were a total of ten cultivators in this group. All of them carried a blood-colored saber on their backs.
Jiang Li also looked over curiously.
This group of people was indeed different from others. Their faces were dark, and there was a ferociousness between their brows. Their bodies were filled with killing intent that seemed to have condensed into reality.
Jiang Li possessed the Heavenly Dao’s [Merit Blessing]. In his eyes, when these people walked together, it was even to the extent that he could see strands of detestable black qi coiled around their bodies.
“This is… the manifestation of negative karma?”
The black qi was actually the appearance of the dense negative karma gathered on the person from killing.
“This level of negative karma can only happen after killing many people.”
“Who are they? Which demonic cultivator sect? They actually appeared in Phoenix Sun City openly.”
“Eh? That person’s strength is really quite strong! He’s actually so young.”
“Jiang Li, look at that young man. How’s his strength compared to yours?”
Grandmaster Zhu, who was beside Jiang Li, also frowned as he looked at that group of people. These ten demonic cultivators were instinctively detestable.
He gestured for Jiang Li to look at a young cultivator among the ten.
It was a young man walking in front of them. His black hair was mixed with red threads.
As if he noticed Jiang Li’s gaze, that person looked over as well.
Their gazes collided, and Jiang Li felt a trace of seriousness.
That young man actually gave him a sense of threat.
That person was only around the same age as Mu Chunyang, and his cultivation was similarly at the Golden Core realm. However, Mu Chunyang was utterly unable to endure a few moves from Jiang Li at this moment.
However, this person could give Jiang Li a sense of danger.
“Little brother, don’t look at them. These people will really draw their swords and kill people in the city!”
In just a moment, a middle-aged cultivator beside them turned around as if he had inadvertently blocked their line of sight.
In the blink of an eye, the group of cultivators had already passed by them. That young cultivator did not look at Jiang Li and directly walked over.
“Brother, who are they?”
Jiang Li watched the group leave and cupped his hands before asking this middle-aged cultivator.
“They are the Blood Saber Servants of the Myriad Slaughter Sect. The young man at the front is the third son of the Sect Master, Wu Loulan.”
“Hmph, he personally slaughtered a mortal town when he had just become an adult. He has already killed countless people. He’s really the scum of our Eastern Region.”
The people from the Great Mountain Alliance looked at the retreating figures of the group of cultivators again. So they were people from the Myriad Slaughter Sect, the biggest threat of the cultivators of the Great Mountain Region.
“Brother, we just came here and don’t know much. Please tell us more about the Myriad Slaughter Sect.”
After the people from the Myriad Slaughter Sect left, the surrounding crowd began to return to normal.
“The Myriad Slaughter Sect is a group of abnormal fellows. Each of them has killed countless people. Not long ago, they even slaughtered a mortal country. It’s said that their main force is still attacking the cultivation world of the Purple Pine Forest Mountain. I wonder how many more sins they will commit in vain.”
“Moreover, the disappearance of many sects in the Eastern Region was related to them.”
“All the dead were beheaded, and the nearby mortal cities were not spared either. None of the old, weak, women, and children were spared. Only the demonic cultivators of the Myriad Slaughter Sect would be interested in this. However, I did not expect that they would also receive the invitation of the Myriad Sun Building.”
“However, this is natural, right? The Myriad Slaughter Sect is still a member of the Divine Judgment Hall. People like us can only be angry but not say anything.”
“Alright, little brother, you guys have to be careful in the future. I’ll be leaving first.”
After saying a few more words, the middle-aged cultivator separated from Jiang Li and entered the crowd.
Jiang Li led the six higher-ups of the Great Mountain Alliance behind him to continue walking through the crowd.
Soon, a female cultivator received them.
“Lords, do you have an invitation letter?”
Jiang Li took out the invitation letter he obtained from Manager Jiang. After the female cultivator received it, her smile became even more brilliant.
“The few of you are carrying a level-two invitation letter. You are our Myriad Sun Auction House’s VIPs. Please board the floating staircase here.”
“This is the room number. Please enter the room.”
Of the six higher-ups behind Jiang Li, two were at the Soul Formation realm and four were at the Nascent Soul realm.
Just a slight aura leaked out was enough to make the surrounding people retreat.
Even in Phoenix Sun City, cultivators of this level were not common.
However, the female cultivators could deal with the situation very calmly. It was obvious that they had seen great things before. They were already used to such high-level cultivators working in the Myriad Sun Building.
Under the guidance of the female cultivator, Jiang Li and the others stepped onto a stone platform and rose towards the floating island in the sky.
In the reception area not far away, the group of Blood Saber cultivators from the Myriad Slaughter Sect and female cultivators rode an even more luxurious cloud carpet as they flew up.
After all, the Myriad Sun Building was a business organization. It was very clear about the classification of customers.
There were roughly four levels.
The invitations received by some famous local forces corresponded to first-rate guests. There were beautiful female cultivators serving the entire time and luxurious private rooms available.
In the Myriad Sun Building, cultivators who spent more than a million spirit stones at once would be given level-two invitations to correspond to the second-rate guests. There were free spiritual fruits and spiritual wine on the floating stone platform, and they could enjoy the privacy of shopping in personal rooms.
Cultivators who spent more than 500,000 spirit stones corresponded to third-grade guests. They sat on ordinary stone platforms and enjoyed the front row seats.
The last category consisted of ordinary customers who did not have an invitation letter and had to pay a deposit of 100,000 spirit stones to enter. They sat on an ordinary stone platform that was crowded with more than a hundred people and then sat in the ordinary seats at the back.
The difference was not small. Strength, status, and wealth were extremely important.
The stone platform carried them into the sky. One could see that the island in the sky was dragged by a huge white cloud.
Amidst the clouds, it was like a paradise.
“Is this water vapor fog? It can actually withstand such weight. It’s unbelievable.”
A moment later, Jiang Li and the others stepped onto the floating island. He patted the clouds at the edge of the island, and it felt as solid as soil.
However, if he touched it with gentle force, the fog would dissipate like normal clouds, as if it could not exert any strength.
“This is the Sea Accumulation Cloud, a special cloud summoned by an Earth-rank artifact. Not only can it withstand weight, but we can also plant things on it.”
Jiang Li was still studying the clouds when a crisp female voice sounded from the clouds not far away, explaining his doubts.
Jiang Li looked over when he heard this. In the clouds not far away, a young woman was holding an exquisite small shovel and digging small pits in the clouds. After stuffing a few seeds in, she covered them with the sea clouds and even patted them to create cloud mounds.
On the sea clouds not far away, an exquisite spiritual farm had already been cultivated.
There were already quite a few sprouts growing on those mounds. It seemed that the girl was not lying. There was really something growing in the sea of clouds.
On the other hand, an artifact that could gather such clouds was obviously an Earth-rank artifact.
“Is this your first time here? If you want to participate in the auction, go over there.”
The girl patted the cloud soil on her body and pointed at a huge building not far away.
A large number of people were rushing over. There were not many like them.
“Thank you for your guidance, Miss… Oh, where is she?”
When Jiang Li turned around to thank her again, the young woman had already vanished.
“Grandmaster, did you see that girl just now?”
Jiang Li could only ask his grandmaster, but the other party’s reaction shocked Jiang Li.
“Girl? What girl? You were talking to yourself. Let’s go. The auction is about to begin.”
The grandmaster’s expression did not seem to be fake. The other higher-ups beside him did not react at all.
Looking at the cloud mound that still existed not far away, Jiang Li did not think that he had seen it wrongly. However, the Nascent Soul and Soul Formation cultivators could not see anything, so why could he?
Truly, the world was huge and there were all kinds of strange things.
After Jiang Li and the others left, the clouds dispersed, and a pair of clear eyes appeared from within. She looked at Jiang Li who had left, and her eyes were filled with curiosity..
