Chapter 342: The Major Event of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild

Yi Canzhen was actually growing more and more desperate; if he weren't the Vice President of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild, he wouldn't have been able to obtain this one Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus.

Right now, the Dao essence of this Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus had almost been fully absorbed by him, yet he hadn't felt even a trace of the Dao Laws of the Immortal-Fanqiao realm, let alone breaking through to the Immortal-Fanqiao realm.

It was certain that in another half a day, his attempt to break through to the Immortal-Fanqiao realm this time would end in failure.

From then on, he would no longer have the qualification to attempt breaking through to the Immortal-Fanqiao; even though he was the Vice President of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild, it would be impossible for him to obtain a second Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus.

Just at this moment, he actually felt the surrounding laws of heaven and earth suddenly become clear.

Not only that, the Immortal-Fanqiao Dao essence aura within the Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus was captured by him—how could he possibly let such an opportunity slip by?

Break through to the Immortal-Fanqiao!

In just one Zhou Tian, he touched the barrier of the Immortal-Fanqiao realm.

Yi Canzhen was immensely excited; being able to feel the Immortal-Fanqiao realm Dao essence and then break through to the Immortal-Fanqiao realm was because his foundation was deep enough.

He had spent several hundred years polishing himself at the perfection of Earth Immortal; if he didn't advance to the Immortal-Fanqiao, his qi and blood would begin to decline.

True essence gathered, and without the slightest hesitation, he charged at the barrier of the Immortal-Fanqiao realm.

Such an opportunity was hard to come by even once in a hundred years—how could Yi Canzhen bother with anything else?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunder cracked, and seven or eight arcs of lightning crashed down.

Yi Canzhen stepped out of the City Lord's Manor in a single stride, standing above it and summoning his Dharma Treasure.

"Look! City Lord Yi has drawn the Immortal-Fanqiao Lei Jie!"

Someone shouted excitedly, and with that cry, nearly all the cultivators in the entire Boundless City rushed over.

Ding Huan was also dumbfounded; his idea of helping Yi Canzhen break into the Immortal-Fanqiao realm had only been a spur-of-the-moment thought, and he hadn't expected it to draw a Lei Jie.

He had never imagined that the simulation of the Great Cosmos Art's Dao Laws, combined with the Immortal-Fanqiao Dao essence aura he had comprehended from the Nine-Colored Immortal-Mortal Lotus, would truly cause the other party to draw a Lightning Tribulation.

This seemed a bit unscientific, but it didn't matter—as long as the other party advanced, that was fine.

Ding Huan simply circulated the Great Cosmos Art once more to help the other party.

After several arcs of Lei Jie, Yi Canzhen's cultivation shackles were blasted open, and his aura was soaring wildly.

"City Lord Yi has advanced to the Immortal-Fanqiao realm!" Excited voices erupted from the crowd.

At this moment, it wasn't just Yi Canzhen who was excited—nearly everyone who witnessed this scene was thrilled beyond control.

One must know that on Biankui Star Land……

No, it should be said that in this entire universe, no one had been able to advance to the Immortal-Fanqiao realm for several hundred years.

Today, someone had once again advanced to the Immortal-Fanqiao—what did this prove? It proved that the Immortal-Fanqiao realm still existed, and that one could still break through into it.

Ding Huan stopped circulating the Great Cosmos Art, sneering inwardly.

Although this Yi Canzhen had advanced to the Immortal-Fanqiao realm, it was entirely from the Great Dao Laws he had simulated; when the time came, under his own domain, the other party probably wouldn't even have the ability to fight back.

The moment Ding Huan stopped circulating the Great Cosmos Art, Yi Canzhen felt the Immortal-Fanqiao realm seeming to blur.

Fortunately, he had already broken through the shackles, so he dared not delay and sped up the circulation of his Zhou Tian.

It was just that sudden stutter in the soaring cultivation felt as awful as swallowing a fly.

Regardless of the reason, he was already a cultivator of the Immortal-Fanqiao realm.

……

As Yi Canzhen advanced to the Immortal-Fanqiao realm, Boundless City grew livelier and livelier, with cultivators who received the news flooding into Boundless City madly.

Ding Huan, however, left Boundless City and began laying down killing-restriction array patterns around its outskirts.

Because he knew he no longer needed to wait two years.

A Vice President of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild had stepped into the Immortal-Fanqiao realm.

Such a major event—if the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild didn't summon all its members to Boundless City to hold an Immortal-Fanqiao advancement ceremony for this Vice President, then the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild couldn't have grown to such a scale.

While Ding Huan was frantically laying down the great killing-restriction array, not only the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild but the entire Biankui Star Land also grew lively.

The Myriad Realms Commerce Guild even sent out invitations to all its members.

Inviting all members of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild to arrive in Boundless City within ten days to attend the Immortal-Fanqiao ceremony of the Guild's Vice President Yi Canzhen.

Because more and more people were flooding into Boundless City, Ding Huan's laying down of the great killing-restriction array outside the city instead became inconspicuous.

No matter how large Boundless City was, it didn't have so many inns to provide lodging for these outside cultivators.

So many cultivators who wanted to come and sense the Immortal-Fanqiao realm could only encamp outside the city.

People were everywhere, and among these crowds, naturally no one paid any attention to Ding Huan.

Fan Jiandan, who had mixed into the crowd, sighed; she had finally found Ding Huan, and according to her tracking, Ding Huan had also entered Boundless City.

Unfortunately, at this inopportune moment, such an event occurred—after several hundred years of no one being able to advance to the Immortal-Fanqiao, Yi Canzhen had now advanced, and he was even the Vice President of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild.

The Myriad Realms Commerce Guild now had another Immortal-Fanqiao cultivator—what revenge could Ding Huan possibly seek?

As the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild sent out more and more invitations, more and more people came to the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild.

This time, not only did all members of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild return to Boundless City, but even the Sect Masters of the Geda Sect, as well as the Clan Heads and Elders of the great families of Biankui Star Land, all came one after another to attend Vice President Yi's Immortal-Fanqiao ceremony.

The largest plaza in Boundless City, the Myriad Realms Plaza, was also cleared.

The Immortal-Fanqiao ceremony of Myriad Realms Commerce Guild Vice President Yi Canzhen would be held at this plaza.

This was a plaza that could accommodate several million people; getting into it wasn't easy either.

Apart from the Shopkeepers, Elders, Stewards, Shopkeepers, and City Lords of the various branches of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild, only the Sect Masters and Elders of the Geda Sect were qualified to enter the plaza.

But the area outside the plaza was still packed with all kinds of cultivators.

The vast majority of cultivators wanted to understand the Immortal-Fanqiao realm.

Since this was an Immortal-Fanqiao advancement ceremony, the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild's Vice President Yi Canzhen would surely share his insights and experiences of advancing to the Immortal-Fanqiao realm at the ceremony.

This was a convention—as long as it was an advancement ceremony, the one who advanced needed to lecture on the Dao for one hour at the ceremony.

The ceremony was about to begin, and Boundless City had already begun blocking outsiders from entering.

It's simply that more and more people have been arriving these past few days; if even more enter Wubian City, the entire city might be crushed under the crowd.

Ding Huan calmly arranged his Deadly Encirclement Array.

He was very satisfied with his array art.

This Deadly Encirclement Array trapping Wubian City was at the peak of Level Eight, just short of Level Nine.

But Ding Huan believed that even a peak-Level-Eight Deadly Encirclement Array, combined with his own intervention, would be sufficient to trap someone at the Immortal-Fanqiao realm.

Since his goal was to destroy the Ten Thousand Worlds Guild, the Deadly Encirclement Array was merely to prevent escapees—he relied primarily on the Poison Array.

Since his Star River had taken shape, his understanding of the Dao had grown ever deeper, and he could master anything involving cosmic rules in the shortest possible time.

This Ten Thousand Worlds Guild's Immortal-Fanqiao Ceremony will surely draw more than one Immortal-Fanqiao cultivator.

Ding Huan worried two things: that his great array might be discovered, and that he might not be strong enough to defeat so many experts.

So Ding Huan's true reliance was still that Poison Array.

Ding Huan had known how to set up Poison Arrays for a long time and had studied them specifically.

His true leap in Poison Dao came only after he met Jia Baihe and comprehended her Poison Dao techniques.

In terms of deploying poison, he was certainly stronger than Jia Baihe now.

Previously, Jia Baihe's poison deployment merely formed Poison Dao resonance through toxins—this resonance formed passively.

Now, Jia Baihe deploys poison directly using Poison Dao resonance, and these resonances gradually coalesce into Poison Dao cosmic laws.

Poison Dao resonance can still be resisted; once it forms cosmic law, it becomes virtually unstoppable.

On Jiuyuan Star, hundreds of thousands of people were poisoned to death by Jia Baihe—this alone speaks volumes.

Jia Baihe's rapid advancement in Poison Dao was still guided by Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's own poison deployment was naturally no worse than Jia Baihe's.

Although all the great arrays had been fully arranged, Ding Huan still felt uneasy.

It wasn't that he worried he couldn't kill the cultivators in this city, but that he feared the Ten Thousand Worlds Guild's leader wouldn't return in time.

Ding Huan had been waiting outside Wubian City; if the Ten Thousand Worlds Guild's leader still didn't return today, he would have to act.

Today was the opening day of Yi Canzhen's Immortal-Fanqiao Ceremony—he had created this opportunity, and if he missed today, there would never be another such chance.

The ceremony's opening was naturally when the crowd would be most concentrated.

If the Ten Thousand Worlds Guild's leader didn't return, he would kill off the entire guild first, then hunt down that so-called leader afterward.

Just as Ding Huan was lamenting, a loud, booming laugh drew nearer.

In but a short moment, a young man clad in a white robe, with a long sword tied at his waist, stepped down from the sky.

His long hair flowed elegantly, and his features were handsome; as he descended through the air, he truly carried a faint aura of immortality.

"It's Elder Shangguan returning!" someone in the crowd cried out excitedly.

Ding Huan quickly asked: "Is Elder Shangguan the leader?"

A greasy middle-aged cultivator glanced dismissively at Ding Huan: "Do you need to ask? Everyone knows the Ten Thousand Worlds Guild's leader, Shangguan Yanzhong, is the strongest on Biankui Starland."

Another nearby person sighed: "The Ten Thousand Worlds Guild is growing stronger by the day—now it has yet another Immortal-Fanqiao expert."

"The stronger the Ten Thousand Worlds Guild, the better for us—look, who dares to bully us on Biankui Starland now?"

"..."

The murmurs in the crowd suddenly fell silent—clearly, many doubted this, but such words could not be spoken aloud.

"Heh, it seems you've never been bullied by the Ten Thousand Worlds Guild. On Biankui Starland, it's the Ten Thousand Worlds Guild that bullies us..."

Hearing this voice, everyone couldn't help but turn their gazes toward it.

No one had expected anyone would dare speak such words here—was this suicide? Or suicide?

Ding Huan also saw Fan Jiandan—he hadn't expected that this Fan Jiandan, who had previously been terrified of death when entering with him, would now openly speak ill of the Ten Thousand Worlds Guild here.

Fortunately, all the Ten Thousand Worlds Guild members were busy with preparations, and no one paid attention to what she said.

"Leader Shangguan, thank you for returning personally to attend my ceremony," Yi Canzhen hurried forward upon seeing Shangguan Yanzhong's return on the Grand Plaza.
