Chapter 124 Tianluo Continent
Although this wasn't the first time he'd used a teleportation array along the way, Wang Fu still couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
For someone like him, who doesn't have a particularly strong background and is only at the Tongtian Realm, such a price is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
Ten drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid are enough to help someone with a weak physical body overcome a difficult level of spiritual power. For a first-grade Supreme expert to condense it alone, it would take several months.
If it weren't for this important person, they would have had difficulty even leaving the Jade Origin Continent, let alone coming to the Northern Mountain Continent.
Those perilous celestial barriers and these teleportation arrays that span such vast distances are simply beyond their capabilities to solve.
"The five of them will travel to the Tianluo Continent."
Ye Feng remained calm in response. With a wave of his hand, fifty drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid flew out from his sleeve and landed in the hand of an old man in purple robes at the palace gate.
With his current wealth, he can easily afford to use this teleportation array. Although bringing Wang Fu and the others would increase the cost, it would be a drop in the ocean.
Not all teleportation arrays on all continents require payment with Supreme Spirit Liquid. Some continents are not too far apart, and a certain amount of Spirit Coins is sufficient. However, if one were to travel by flying to the Northern Boundary of the Northern Region of the Tianluo Continent, it would take at least two or three days, and one can imagine the distance involved.
The world is vast and boundless, and his three-month journey has given him a real taste of its wonders.
The continent beneath his feet was nothing compared to the vast world, not to mention that the vast world also included the continents and lower planes occupied by the extraterrestrial evil races.
"People who have broken through to the Supreme level at such a young age are most likely members of the major powers in Tianluo Continent."
The purple-robed elder accepted the Supreme Spiritual Liquid, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He looked Ye Feng up and down, thinking to himself.
"please."
Before long, the old man in purple robes stepped aside and bowed, gesturing for him to enter.
Anyone who uses the Supreme Spirit Liquid to pass through the Northern Mountain Alliance is a distinguished guest; fifty drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid is no small amount.
"Um--"
Ye Feng nodded slightly and led the group into the teleportation hall.
The hall was extremely spacious, with a huge teleportation array standing quietly in the center. As beams of spiritual energy shot into the sky, the light flowed and emitted vast spatial fluctuations.
"Please enter the formation, everyone."
A middle-aged man in charge of controlling the spirit array raised his hand in a gesture.
Ye Feng led the group into the formation. Instantly, the surrounding space distorted slightly, and a silver light surged from beneath their feet, enveloping them all.
The next instant, a burst of silver light erupted, and the figures of the group disappeared into the teleportation array.
Tianluo Continent, as one of the ten super continents in the Great Thousand World, is even more vast and prosperous than the combined vastness of all the continents in the Eastern Region.
On this continent, countless forces are scattered like stars, and the level of their mixed nature far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.
It is precisely because of these complex reasons that a truly unified force has never emerged on this supercontinent.
With numerous powerful forces vying for supremacy and constantly waging war, even the top forces with Earthly Sovereign-level experts in this Tianluo Continent often face destruction.
Similarly, new forces will constantly emerge, and countless forces will exist on this chaotic continent. This is the true picture of this supercontinent.
The Hundred Battles Domain is a corner of the northern border of the northern region of the Tianluo Continent.
Unlike the neighboring Great Luo Heaven Domain, which is known as a powerful force, the Hundred Battle Domain is the name of a region where countless forces, large and small, converge.
Within the Hundred Battles Domain, there are three most powerful forces: Ten Thousand Swords Valley, Demon Corpse Sect, and Great Compassion Heaven.
Among these three major forces, Wanjian Valley and Demon Corpse Sect can be considered long-established forces in the Northern Realm, having existed for many years, while only Dabeitian was founded in recent years.
Wanjian City, as one of the most prosperous cities under the command of Wanjian Valley, far surpasses the scale and grandeur of most cities that Ye Feng has seen along the way.
The entire city was built against the mountain, stretching for thousands of miles. The city walls were tens of millions of feet high and were made entirely of a bluish-gray sword-shaped rock. If viewed from above, it looked like a giant stone sword lying across the earth.
The city streets are wide and straight, lined with shops on both sides, sparkling with lights, and teeming with people.
The air was filled with a dense aura of spiritual energy, and figures could be seen passing by in the sky from time to time, their auras varying in strength, including some supreme experts.
"My lord, where should we go next—"
Outside the teleportation hall, Wang Fu looked around and then gazed at Ye Feng.
"Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Let's gather some information first, and then make our plans."
Ye Feng pondered for a moment with his deep black eyes, then headed towards the most bustling commercial area in the city.
To gain a foothold in the Hundred Battles Domain of the Northern Boundary, relying solely on the information he possesses is far from sufficient; it is essential to gather more information.
This City of Ten Thousand Swords is a city controlled by the Valley of Ten Thousand Swords, and it is extremely famous in the Hundred Battles Domain, which is enough for him to find out some useful information.
He already had some ideas on how to establish himself in the Hundred Battles Domain. These three major forces controlled a large part of the Hundred Battles Domain. Although they would unite against external forces, there was bound to be competition and checks and balances between them.
This is his chance to establish himself in the Hundred Battles Domain, and right now he naturally cannot choose the City of Ten Thousand Swords.
If possible, choosing a location near the Great Luo Heaven Domain would be a good option.
The Hundred Battles Domain does not have any Earthly Sovereign experts, but that does not mean that the three major forces are not backed by Earthly Sovereigns. The Domain Lord Mandala of the Great Luo Heaven Domain can be won over, and may even be brought under his command when he becomes strong enough in the future.
The reason is simple: Mandala is in a lot of trouble and facing a great predicament, and he happens to know some information that is beneficial to him, so he can make some deals.
Once his strength improves, he might be able to help him solve the problem.
Although it was difficult to gain his trust in the short term, he believed that Mandala would not let go of any opportunity to save himself. He created the Great Luo Heaven Domain with the aim of finding a way to lift the curse and avenge Lu Heng of the Holy Demon Palace.
As Ye Feng pondered this in his mind, he encountered no major setbacks on the sidewalk and arrived at a magnificent pavilion.
Wan Jian Merchant Guild
Looking at the four large characters in front of the pavilion, Ye Feng already had the answer in his heart.
Every blade of grass and every tree in Wanjian City must belong to Wanjian Pavilion.
"Greetings, sir. What may I do for you?"
Upon entering the pavilion, a woman in white greeted him, her gaze lingering on Ye Feng for a moment with a respectful attitude.
Even in the Hundred Battles Domain, supreme experts are still sought after by various forces.
"I need a detailed spiritual map of the Hundred Battles Domain, as well as intelligence on the major forces in the Northern Realm."
Ye Feng spoke calmly, stating his requirements.
"Our Wanjian Merchant Guild has a rule that a powerful figure of your caliber must be received by the steward. Please follow me."
The woman in white was taken aback for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and she quickly bowed.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng nodded to Wang Fu and the others, and then followed the woman in white straight up to the third floor, arriving at a VIP room.
Before long, an old man wearing a gray robe with sword patterns on the sleeves pushed open the door and entered. His gaze fell on Ye Feng, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Such a young second-grade supreme being is a rare sight in the Hundred Battles Domain.
"I am Xu Kang, the manager of the Ten Thousand Swords Merchant Guild. May I ask your name, young friend?"
The gray-robed old man smiled warmly and asked, "Ye Feng?"
Ye Feng glanced at the old man, and after sensing the strength of that First-Rank Supreme, he spoke calmly.
A first-rank supreme expert can only serve as a manager in the Ten Thousand Swords Merchant Guild under the Ten Thousand Swords Valley. One can imagine how powerful the overall strength of the Ten Thousand Swords Valley is.
"Young friend, do you wish to obtain the spirit map of the Hundred Battles Domain and intelligence on the various forces in the Northern Realm?"
Xu Kang pondered for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly. He memorized Ye Feng's name and then asked another question.
"good."
Ye Feng nodded.
Xu Kang chuckled, raised his hand, and two scrolls of spiritual illustrations glowing with spiritual energy appeared on the table.
"The Hundred Battles Domain Spirit Map, fifty drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid, intelligence information from the Northern Realm, and one hundred drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid. I wonder if this price is acceptable to you, young friend."
Xu Kang announced the price, his gaze fixed on Ye Feng.
One hundred and fifty drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid is quite an expensive price for a second-grade Supreme.
Even if the information he possessed about the Northern Frontier forces was incomplete, it was still worth the price.
"make a deal--"
Without hesitation, Ye Feng raised his hand and waved, and one hundred and fifty drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid flew out from the Mustard Seed Bracelet and landed in Xu Kang's hand.
"Young friend, you are truly straightforward."
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Xu Kang's eyes as he pushed the two volumes in front of Ye Feng.
He hadn't done a business deal this smoothly in a long time.
"If you have any other needs, young friend, you are welcome to come to our Wanjian Chamber of Commerce at any time. The reputation of our Wanjian Valley is well-known throughout the Hundred Battle Domain. Everything we offer is absolutely fair in price."
Xu Kang smiled and put away the Supreme Spirit Liquid, boasting to Ye Feng.
"I will come again if needed in the future."
Ye Feng smiled slightly, and instead of rushing to look through the picture book in his hand, he stood up and cupped his hands in greeting to the old man.
Now that we have what we wanted, the next step is to use this information to determine our next objective.
"If I may ask, I am unaware of your origins, young friend. You are well aware of the number of young second-grade supreme experts within the Hundred Battles Domain."
Seeing Ye Feng preparing to leave, Xu Kang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he asked seemingly casually.
The Hundred Battles Domain has no shortage of spies sent by other forces in the Northern Realm, so the probability of sending such a genius is almost negligible.
"They came from a distant continent, seeking some experience."
Ye Feng didn't say it explicitly, but just gave a casual reply.
He would not reveal his identity as someone from a lower plane in the Northern Realm until he had the strength of a Fifth-Rank Supreme.
As far as he knew, the Demon Sorrow Heaven who rose to power in this Hundred Battles Domain, the Demon Sorrow Supreme, was someone who came from a lower plane.
The territory of the Hundred Battles Domain is only so big, and it is difficult to tolerate the existence of a new threat from a lower plane. In this vast world, the advantages and disadvantages of such a status can be said to be half and half.
This is a sign of proving one's talent and potential, but it also represents a threat.
Therefore, he will keep a low profile as much as possible before he has absolute strength.
"The Hundred Battles Domain is a place of outstanding people and abundant resources, and it is indeed a good place for training. If you don't have a good place to go, young friend, you might as well join our Ten Thousand Swords Valley."
"With your abilities, young friend, you are more than capable of receiving good treatment in the valley."
Seeing that Ye Feng was unwilling to say more, Xu Kang did not ask any further questions, but instead extended an olive branch directly.
The benefits he could gain from winning over a young second-grade Supreme Being would be far more than just a hundred drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid.
"I'll see when I have the chance later. I've heard of the fame of Ten Thousand Swords Valley—"
Ye Feng chuckled and did not refuse directly.
The creation of a faction involves many aspects. For a long time, he had to survive and maintain his foothold among the three major factions in the Hundred Battles Domain.
Only after breaking through to the fifth rank of Supreme Being can one be qualified to have the authority to govern these forces.
"it is good."
Although Xu Kang was disappointed by Ye Feng's polite refusal, he did not show any disgust and remained calm.
"Goodbye—"
Ye Feng didn't say anything more, cupped his hands in greeting, said a few words, and turned to leave.
After leaving the Wanjian Chamber of Commerce, Ye Feng did not stay in Wanjian City for long. After glancing at the spirit map in his hand, he led Wang Fu and the others straight out of the city and headed east.
With the Spirit Map in hand, he already had a clear understanding of the geographical distribution of the Hundred Battles Domain.
Wanjian Valley is located in the west-central part of the Hundred Battles Domain, the Demon Corpse Sect occupies the north-central part, and the Great Compassion Heaven is located in the south-central part. The three major forces form a triangle and occupy 70% of this chaotic region.
The remaining areas were occupied by various large, medium and small forces.
Especially in the southeastern part of the Hundred Battles Domain, there are many forces and the territory is extremely vast, but none of the three major forces have directly intervened.
The reason is simple: it borders the Great Luo Heaven Domain and serves as a buffer zone.
Every few years, the Great Luo Heavenly Domain would launch a war of conquest.
In this Tianluo Continent, besides establishing a power, controlling a city and collecting taxes, the fastest way to collect supreme spiritual liquid is through plunder.
"The seven top powers of the Northern Realm are: Divine Pavilion, Netherworld Palace, Ten Thousand Saints Mountain, Profound Heaven Palace, Demon Gate, Great Luo Heaven Domain, and Serpent God Palace."
The Divine Pavilion, having survived numerous great hunting battles, its master is the strongest in the Northern Realm—
66
'
"The Ten Thousand Saints Ancestor of Ten Thousand Saints Mountain and the Demon Emperor of the Demon Sect, the two once met in the Northern Border—"
'
""
""
Liu Tiandao, the Palace Master of Xuantian Palace, has been a Supreme Being for many years—
'
'
"The Great Luo Heavenly Domain, whose lord's name is unknown, is ruled by three emperors and five kings—"
In a remote mountain, Ye Feng led a few people to take a short rest while reviewing the information and intelligence provided by Xu Kang in Wanjian City. His dark eyes suddenly froze.
This information may seem insignificant at first glance, but it clarified his own timeline in this vast world.
In the Great Luo Heavenly Domain, below the three emperors—the Spirit Eye Emperor, the Sleeping Emperor, and the Heavenly Eagle Emperor—five kings stand side by side.
They are respectively the Asura King, the Mountain Rift King, the Ice River King, the Spirit Sword King, and the Hongya King.
Not only is the Nine Nether King absent, but even the Blood Eagle King from his memory is not present. This indicates that the Great Luo Heaven Domain is currently in a developmental stage and is far from reaching the original pattern of nine kings standing side by side in the world.
"Under these circumstances, the Great Luo Heavenly Domain seems like a decent place to go—"
