Chapter 397 - 378: Obtaining [Zuo Xuan]’s Voyage Information and Selling a Large Amount of Soul Race Heritage

From Celestial Star’s explanation, Jiang Qiu learned that the previous epoch had not completely collapsed. A piece of indestructible ruins, protected by the will of the world cluster, still remained. It was hidden in the invisible void as the Dusk Holy Ruins, awaiting one last chance to leave behind its legacy.

That time would be in about a year.

At that time, the Dusk Holy Ruins would reappear. Cultivators possessing a Dusk Token could enter and compete with other Cultivators for the legacies of the previous epoch.

After all, any legacy passed down from the previous epoch was considered the most supreme of its kind within a world cluster. Many of the current races had risen to prominence by relying on these legacies, a fact they kept well-hidden.

No epoch was ever completely wiped out without a trace; new epochs are built upon the foundations of the old. Therefore, obtaining the previous epoch’s pinnacle legacy at this stage would surely allow one to soar to unimaginable heights.

After all, many of the current ruins, Secret Realms, and legends originated from the previous epoch. Even rumors of Transcendence ended there. The last known Transcender—the True Dragon!—died in that epoch, which was why it came to be known as the [Dragonfall] Epoch.

And now, many super experts who had cultivated to the Peak of Unity Realm had not even touched the threshold of Transcendence, still unable to escape the shackles of the river of time.

Once the Dusk Holy Ruins appeared, all the strongest reclusive experts would emerge to vie for the opportunity to transcend this world!

Such was the immense value of the Dusk Holy Ruins.

"So you’re saying, holding a Dusk Token means I’ll likely be targeted by the many hidden experts of the Primordial Great Realm and have it stolen?"

Jiang Qiu asked the crucial question. Celestial Star replied, "But of course. Possessing a treasure is a crime in itself for those who can’t defend it. If you lack the strength to protect the Dusk Token, it will be plundered by the powerful. That’s why most who have one never speak of it. You can’t be sure you won’t be assassinated and have the Token stolen."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiu clenched his fists, his gaze firm as he stared at the Dusk Token in his hand. ’So it’s a hot potato that everyone will be trying to snatch away.’

However, he absolutely could not hand this Dusk Token over to anyone else. He wanted to enter the Dusk Holy Ruins and see for himself. It would be best if he could find a suitable legacy, but even if he couldn’t obtain a powerful one, he had to raise his strength as much as possible.

Although he had already cultivated to the Peak of Fusion Realm, enough to awe the top races in countless lesser worlds, he was like an ant trying to shake a tree when compared to the powerful factions of the Nine Venerable Great Realm—he was hopelessly outmatched.

He had to become strong enough first to have any chance of rescuing Liu Zili and the others. Otherwise, it would be a suicide mission.

Right now, the most promising way to rapidly increase his strength was the legendary Dusk Holy Ruins. Ordinary methods were simply no longer effective.

The legacies of the Cyan Simurgh Palace and the True Dragon were not without methods to break through to the Unity Realm. However, he had walked the path of the Hundred Ghosts Dao all the way to the Fusion Realm, and now that his three Daos had merged, the methods from those two legacies were no longer a perfect match. He had to go to the Dusk Holy Ruins and try his luck!

According to the True Dragon legacy’s method for breaking through, one could achieve Unity with the blessing of a Dragon Race bloodline from a being at or above the Unity Realm, provided one also supplemented their Great Dao.

The True Dragon was undoubtedly the strongest known member of the Dragon Race, and its remains still existed in the world. Finding its body and performing Refinement would be the best path for his Cultivation.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Qiu suddenly had another question. He asked Celestial Star, "Senior, can you tell me the coordinates of the faction that sold my clan’s elder, Zhu Weiyi, to the arena? I’m willing to pay for the information."

"Hm?" Celestial Star’s brow furrowed. "What kind of person do you take me for? Selling client information? Is that something you think I would do?"

’Selling client information is one thing,’ he thought, ’but a faction that can sell a Dao Entry Realm expert must be a top-tier power based in a Great Realm—countless levels stronger than trash like the Soul Race. The price for betraying such an entity would be steep.’

Besides, the Celestial Star Arena had a reputation for protecting its clients’ information. If word got out that he’d sold the information, who would dare sell their slaves here ever again?

Jiang Qiu’s question was a grave insult to his integrity!

"One billion Primordial Basic Coins. Deal? If that’s not enough, I can add more!"

Jiang Qiu casually threw out the number, which was equivalent to one thousand Yin Yang Coins. This was on par with selling off the entire ancestral estate of the Hundred Ghosts Sect, enough to empty the coffers of a Major Sect in the Yin Yang Great Realm!

"What? You’re offering one billion Primordial Basic Coins to buy information about a flying ship?" Celestial Star was stunned, his expression changing in an instant. "Are you serious?"

As a Unity Realm expert, he should have maintained a cold and aloof demeanor. But with the blood of the Three-Life Race in his veins, making money was a passion that came from his very soul. The chance to make such a huge profit made him giddy with excitement!

One billion Primordial Basic Coins... Forget buying some useless information about a flying ship; with that kind of money, he could buy back half the slaves from that original batch. This deal was an absolute steal.

No one ever feels they have too much money, and this was no small sum. Even if he didn’t desperately need it himself, he wasn’t the only member of the Three-Life Race. The younger generations certainly did!
