Paragon of Sin

Chapter 1873: Chapter 1865: Contest For Tiny Heaven (6)

An extraordinarily majestic white palatial structure loomed at the far edges of the Incinerated Dominion's gravitational orbit, stationary and impressive. It wasn't very large. The numerous Void Vessels anchored in the distance, further away from the Incinerated Dominion's gravitational influence, were far larger, yet their atmospheric layer was unrivaled, exuding the densest and purest Mystic Essence.

The palace could comfortably house hundreds of thousands, but the number of active auras within was far, far smaller, and each aura was terrifying to behold. Not a single mortal among them. However, for those who've successfully ascended, embarking on the path of Mystic Ascension, this was a holy palace for cultivation.

Even the flat continent the palace was built upon was made entirely out of earth-attributed Mystic-World Essence Stones imbued with various formations and arrays to emulate a continental flat earth-esque environment. An unprecedented display of astonishing wealth and skill was present here, utterly impossible to miss.

Wei Wuyin could feel the arrogant opulence here. Especially as the two arrived at the gate, greeted respectfully by a True Sage who'd birthed their True Breath of a Sage at the second-tier, exceeding the ordinary and majority at the first-tier. While inferior to the Sages of the Resolute Dusk Galaxy, who birthed third-tier True Breaths of a Sage, this was an insanely impressive display of authority and forces, given their current duty to greet and attend to guests.

The identity of a True Sage was not ordinary and could not be dismissed; their strength at the peak of the lesser galaxies, capable of freely roaming the expansive Dark Void, establishing potentially long-lived organizations. The White Abyssal Galaxy, for example, didn't have a single True Sage in its midst.

That said, the guests in question were Supreme Sages and Heavenly Saint Alchemists, so this level of service would never have them look down upon. The attendant was calm-faced, beautifully elegant, and possessed a steady, firm, and pleasant voice. Her dress was modest yet attractive, body conforming and highlighting, keeping an air of dignity and quality of self-esteem.

Even the Incandescent Star Palace Lord had to give her a closer look, glancing at Wei Wuyin as if to see if he was interested. However, Wei Wuyin's focus and attention were more on the palace's walls as they were escorted through the halls, much to the disappointment of the female Sage. Clearly, her desire was left unfulfilled as she was unable to attract the attention of the young Heavenly Saint Alchemist.

"This palace is quite…excessively built," Wei Wuyin commented as the foundation to the walls of this palace was a great showcase of wealth and fortune, and a single breath here was of great benefit to any Mystic Ascendant Realm cultivator. He had the urge to bring the Ascendants here to cultivate.

"Haha, quite a direct observation. Heaven-Saint Neo-Dawn, the White Heaven Sage Palace is renowned within the Utmost Purity Galaxy for just that. It's the product of over a million years of vigorous and extensive effort from the Seven Towers of the Heavenly Sages. It has a complete World Soul, so the continent is at soul-grade. I'm actually shocked they brought it out for this," the Incandescent Star Palace Lord informed with a faint smile.

"A complete Would Soul?" Wei Wuyin mused that the Continent of the First Knight's incomplete World Soul made it a desired object and was even an objective within the Zeniths' game of Mystics.

"Indeed. If you're thinking of its price, I don't think they'll sell easily," the Incandescent Star Palace Lord grinned as he recalled Wei Wuyin's action of buying the Continent of the First Knight for his wife. This was an actual continent with a World Soul, not an incomplete one. Additionally, the White Heaven Sage Palace was built on the backbone of quality Mystic-World materials.

"Oh really? What if I offered my peak-perfection Abstruse Spiritforce Pill?" Wei Wuyin inquired as he breathed in the rich Mystic Essence. According to the speculative market price based on its effects, a viable impure Abstruse Spiritforce Pill would be worth eight Mystic-Heaven Essence Stones, and while few would dare to take it without extensive preparation, the peak-perfection version would be worth a full 800 Mystic-Heaven Essence Stones!

"Oh? Perhaps that could change their mind, but would you be willing? That pill would be worth eight hundred Mystic-Heaven Essence Stones. I'm not certain of the estimated price of the White Heaven Sage Palace, but it certainly wasn't of that value." The Incandescent Star Palace Lord pondered the possibility, given that the likelihood of encountering a peak-perfection Abstruse Spiritforce Pill within the next million or so years might be zero. The scarcity and rarity of this product would grossly elevate its importance and value.

Meanwhile, the White Heaven Sage Palace and its World Soul foundational continent were the byproduct of a million years of effort. The defining point would be the effectiveness of the pill.

"Perhaps adding a few peak-perfection Arising Sage Elixirs would sweeten the offer," Wei Wuyin pitched. The Incandescent Star Palace Lord nodded after some thought. It was, in his eyes, almost guaranteed. However, would Wei Wuyin be willing to offer such an astonishing price?

As they casually spoke verbally, the female attendant felt her heart begin to race and her soul throb with anxiety. The simplicity of their tones was far too jarring for the topic of discussion. The amount of wealth being discussed was so far beyond her depth that she felt poor and destitute.

"Haha! You jest, Heaven-Saint Neo-Dawn." A powerful voice rife with an invasive ancientness that seeped through time, space, and spirit with an infectious energy resounded as they arrived at the grandiose double doors leading to the Main Hall. "I must ask that you do not tease my Little Grandniece any further; the Arising Sage Elixir at the peak-perfection is a temptation that no Mystic Overlord or Sage could ever forfeit."

The Incandescent Star Palace Lord's lips curved into a knowing smile. This old fox wanted to push his familial lineage into the arms of a Heavenly Saint Alchemist? Did they have a profile assessment that Wei Wuyin was hedonistic to a fault? Well…

According to various records, those of the Imperial Dao often had harems in the thousands, potentially hundreds of thousands, and created a feminine battleground fraught with beautiful women vying for their husband's attention. Their known competitiveness often led to humiliation, disgrace, or outright brutal deaths.

Wei Wuyin dismissively shrugged. He wasn't that excessively indulgent or vicious. And his Imperial Path was fundamentally different from the typical standard, so he was unwilling to fruitlessly forge ahead on the path of reign over others with countless concubines and wives under his rule.

"Please, come in. We've been waiting." The voice welcomed them in as if he hadn't tried to use a familial honeypot.

The attendant stepped to the side and bowed deeply. Her heart was filled to the brim with disappointment at having failed to form an impression on the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint. She was confident of her beauty, reinforced by her past filled with numerous prospective suitors, yet she was ignored when it mattered.

The Incandescent Star Palace Lord and Wei Wuyin entered the Main Hall. They were immediately welcomed by a gorgeously picturesque scenery of the ages and the sight of thirteen figures. There were seven men and six women. Each exuded a distinct aura of a Supreme Existence.

Seven of them, four men and three women, had Alchemic Stars of Transcendent Purity active in their gazes, showcasing their proven status as Alchemists of at least the Exalted Worldly Alchemic Saint standard. A rich alchemical aura suffused the air.

The other six, three men and three women, were all Supreme Existences. Among them was an aura that Wei Wuyin had instantly found familiar—the Dwarf-sized Solar Star that clashed violently with the Golden Night Sovereign on Su Yi's behalf!

"You invited everyone?" The Incandescent Star Palace Lord rhetorically asked, leveraging Wei Wuyin's presence to elevate his own as they sauntered in.

"Haha! Of course! If I didn't, wouldn't the situation just grow incredibly chaotic as everyone vied for the fragmented portions of the Incinerated Dominion without any clear rules of engagement?" A robust man built with a solid frame, standing firm with broad shoulders like a tree, voiced his reasoning without any awkwardness.

Dressed in verdant green, gold, and scarlet robes, cutting an utterly vibrant existence with a tyrannical height of well over six feet and six inches, this was known other than Alchemic Saint Oakfather. He had sleek brunette hair tied in a half-up ponytail with a full beard with a sharp edge, accentuating his facial features with a masculine dominance. The stars within his eyes only elevated his grand presence.

Wei Wuyin formed a salute of greeting, "Forgive my uninvited intrusion, Heaven-Saint Oakfather." Despite his image of overwhelming dominance, Wei Wuyin didn't want to portray himself as inflexible since his plans had already bloomed to completion. He could be humble when needed, offering due respect.

This took Oakfather and every last individual by surprise. Had the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint that was just discussing how to buy their palace speak respectfully? More importantly! Did Wei Wuyin just address him as Heaven-Saint?!

Even the ordinary crew members of the Stellar Brilliance avoided using that term, addressing him as the generic Sovereign prefix!

Wei Wuyin had none of the biased opinions of the Zeniths of the Utmost Purity Galaxy's standards of Alchemic Dao. At the very least, they received the recognition of the Alchemic Dao, so Wei Wuyin held their opinion in higher regard than any specific societal standard.

"Hm?" Wei Wuyin felt his Alchemic Stars of Unparalleled Creation surge and flow. He felt that Bai Xiu and the other Bai Xiu had experienced a minor increase in purity and intimate closeness. They both softly moaned.

His left eye twitched briefly.

What was up with them?

Even the Incandescent Star Palace Lord was shaken by how direct Wei Wuyin addressed them without any disrespect. He decidedly reigned in his own rising momentum. He had originally thought Wei Wuyin would intrude with an aggressive stance laced with unbridled pride and a sense of superiority after his explanation, but this made things significantly easier.

Wei Wuyin used their shocked states to introduce himself, dealing with the perfunctory pleasantries before landing on the familiar aura. "You must be the Primal Star Sovereign of the Peerless Primal Pavilion, correct?"

The atmosphere naturally thickened with tension. After all, Long Shiya, the founder of the Peerless Primal Pavilion lost his physical body to this freshly minted Heavenly Saint Alchemist!
