Chapter 398 - 378: Obtaining Zuo Xuan’s Itinerary, Selling a Vast Soul Race Legacy

Without wasting a second, after getting Jiang Qiu’s confirmation, he started a video call to discuss the sale in detail. "Jiang Qiu, in principle, I shouldn’t be selling you client information. But you have a deep-seated grudge against them, after all. They even abducted your clan’s elders. That’s a blood feud, and I support acts of revenge.

So, I’ve decided to give you some information about the client. Hold on a moment..."

In less than three seconds, Celestial Star had traveled to the Celestial Star Arena’s data center, pulled up transaction records from ten years ago, and quickly found the party that had sold Zhu Weiyi to the Celestial Star Arena—the Eight-direction Reversing Ship fleet belonging to Venerable Zuo Xuan of the Nine Venerable Great Realm.

When he saw this information, his eyelid twitched. "Wait a minute. Are you sure you want to get revenge on them?"

He was all too familiar with requests for client information. It was almost always for revenge. Otherwise, why would anyone want someone else’s info?

But the most difficult part now was that Jiang Qiu’s target for revenge was none other than Zuo Xuan—one of the three venerables of the Emperor Blue Lizard Clan, a member of one of the three great powerhouse races, and a figure from one of the very top Great Realms!

’That name didn’t even require a search. The man had long roamed the Primordial world cluster and was arguably one of the most renowned experts at the Unity Realm. In some ways, he was even more famous than I am.’

’How could Jiang Qiu possibly get revenge on such a powerhouse?!’

"I’m not planning revenge right now. I just hope to rescue my friends he abducted," Jiang Qiu said frankly. "Many of my clansmen are on his Space-Time Travel Ship."

’For now, he truly didn’t intend to get revenge. He couldn’t win, after all. But at the very least, he had to find a way to rescue his friends. The bare minimum was to get Zuo Xuan’s specific travel information so he wasn’t just running around in the dark anymore.’

’And right now, his best chance of getting that information was from Celestial Star. This was the only place he’d heard anything about Zuo Xuan. If he missed this opportunity, it would be incredibly difficult to find the man’s whereabouts again.’

’I hope he agrees. Worst case, I can give him all the undigested spoils of war I just got from my space. They should be worth at least five billion Primordial Basic Coins, right?’

’It was normal for the Soul Race, as a top clan from a lesser world, to possess such wealth. In fact, a large portion had already been consumed, leaving only this much. Otherwise, there would have been even more... ’

"Abducted your clansmen..." On the other end of the video, Celestial Star’s brow was deeply furrowed, his expression grave. "Do you have any idea that you’d be facing Zuo Xuan, one of the Nine Venerables of the Nine Venerable Great Realm?"

He suspected Jiang Qiu was too young and a bit reckless. Revenge was understandable, and it was normal to be driven by clan sentiment, but wasn’t the enemy’s power level far too high?

’A First-Rank Spirit Body Realm fighting a Peak Unity Realm expert?’

’What was he thinking!’

"I know. That’s why I’m still hoping you can sell me their travel information, sir. I have my own ways to rescue my clansmen, and I won’t expose you for selling me the information."

Jiang Qiu’s tone was utterly solemn and earnest, without a hint of hesitation or haggling—just pure sincerity.

But Celestial Star’s brow remained deeply furrowed. "Well..."

"I’ll add another billion Primordial Basic Coins."

"Done!" Celestial Star’s brow smoothed out instantly. ’Sincerity for sincerity, and only an idiot would turn down money.’ "I’ll provide you with the travel data for Venerable Zuo Xuan’s fleet from the Nine Venerable Great Realm, updated in real time."

"Huh?" Jiang Qiu was stunned, caught off guard. "You can get real-time updates on the fleet’s travel data?"

"Of course. I’m a member of the Three-Life Race. As long as the price is right, there’s nothing I can’t do. Besides, that fleet isn’t a completely closed system. There are plenty of people inside who need money."

Celestial Star smiled faintly, exuding an air of inscrutable depth. "But I need the money upfront."

"That might take some time. I need to go to the Celestial Star Bank to exchange..."

Hearing this, Celestial Star expressed his understanding and offered to handle it himself to get the money quickly and waive any transaction fees. Not one to delay, Jiang Qiu immediately activated his Day and Night Reversal and, in the blink of an eye, arrived with Snow at the edge of Celestial Star Oasis City.

"What the fuck, why did the sky just go dark?"

"What’s going on? Did the array react? Did someone break through the spatial-temporal lockdown and trigger the Space-Time Law?"

The passersby in this peripheral area were all stunned. They watched the sky darken and then brighten again, then inexplicably return to normal as if nothing had happened, leaving everything calm and peaceful.

Little did they know that an agile young man and a graceful Dragon Maiden were flying toward the central district at an astonishing speed, as fast as lightning.

As an expert at the Peak of the Fusion Realm, the spatial-temporal restraints at the edge of Celestial Star Oasis City could no longer limit him. However, to avoid causing a panic, he still chose to enter gradually rather than appearing directly in the center.

After all, the sky suddenly going dark and then light again was too dramatic a display. Anyone who wasn’t completely blind would have noticed. It would only expose more information about him and lead to a host of troublesome discussions.

Heading to the Celestial Star Bank like this was perfect—low-key.

Soon, he and the Dragon Maiden, Snow, entered the Celestial Star Bank. Led by an enthusiastic attendant, they met Celestial Star in a VIP suite. "You got here fast. Looks like you weren’t far away."

"Right, not far."

Jiang Qiu nodded, having just rushed over from another top-tier Oasis City at least a hundred and eight thousand li away.

"Eh, who’s this with you?" Celestial Star had naturally noticed Snow and couldn’t help but study her for a moment. His eyes brightened instantly, as if he had spotted a white lotus blooming in the mud. "Quite the impressive aura."

’He didn’t remember Jiang Qiu having such a person with him. Even the lodging information registered at the Celestial Star Arena didn’t include anyone like her. He hadn’t seen him for a few days, and suddenly she appeared.’

’The key was that this person wasn’t some Human Race slave you could buy anywhere. Although he couldn’t discern her Cultivation, her attire gave her an ethereal, fairy-like feeling. She was no simple character.’

’For even an expert at the Peak of the Unity Realm like myself to be so struck by her, she was truly extraordinary. She possessed an indescribable mysterious aura, along with a sense of sacredness that seemed to transcend the mortal world.’

"This is my partner. She was trapped due to special circumstances before. I went to find her after my arena matches, and we came out after I found her," Jiang Qiu explained briefly before changing the subject. "Celestial Star, can you see if these things are worth two billion Primordial Basic Coins?"

WHOOSH. A huge pile of Treasures of Heaven and Earth and rare resources poured out from his Dragon Spirit Secret Realm Space, instantly flooding an empty area of the VIP suite. Celestial Star had to take a few steps back to avoid having his feet crushed.

But his eyes were already wide with astonishment. "Where did you get so much good stuff!"

’This stuff was the real deal. Some of it might not be useful for my own Cultivation, but its value was nothing to scoff at. A quick glance revealed items worth several million Primordial Basic Coins each. The whole pile was definitely worth two billion Primordial Basic Coins, no problem!’

"I just picked them up along the way. This is everything I have," Jiang Qiu said with an awkward smile, not revealing too much. Inwardly, however, he was a little nervous. ’I wonder if it’s enough.’

"Hsss..." Celestial Star focused his senses to inspect the items, then immediately gave a price. "Five billion Primordial Basic Coins. How about you sell it all to me? I’ll deduct the payment for the information directly from the total."

"Okay."

The deal was struck with a single word. In the blink of an eye, Celestial Star collected the mountain of resources, and three billion Primordial Basic Coins were transferred to Jiang Qiu’s account.

And just as quickly, he notified his subordinates to begin forwarding the travel data for the Eight-direction Reversing Ship fleet. As he examined the resources more closely, a look of surprise crossed his face. ’Why do some of these treasures feel like they were produced by the Soul Race?’
