526. Chapter 521: Not Shameless Enough

One day later, the Cosmic Cauldron landed at the Void Plaza at the entrance to Luxing Xiancontinent.

Ding Huan's sensitivity to cosmic rules was second to none; no one would dare claim first.

Even before entering Luxing Xiancontinent, Ding Huan sensed its cosmic rules were inferior to the Pangu Great World.

Ding Huan purchased an identity token and entered Luxing Xiancontinent with Cang Diyi and Xue Xiwen.

Upon entering Luxing Xiancontinent, Ding Huan confirmed his impression: the cosmic rules here were truly inadequate—weak, and seemingly fractured.

It was hardly better than the Fourth Xian Realm.

The only advantage over the Fourth Xian Realm was the abundance of Xian qi everywhere.

There was no need, as in the Fourth Xian Realm, to search for a Xian qi spring before cultivation.

"Where is your Xian Sect? Let's rest there first." Ding Huan looked at Cang Diyi.

He felt his current cultivation was still too low; at his Luo Tian Xian Level Twelve realm, with effort, he could surely reach the Xian King realm in a short time.

He cultivated the Great Cosmic Art; even if Luxing Xiancontinent's cosmic rules were slightly weaker, it affected him not at all.

"Xuan Huang Xian Sect." Cang Diyi's eyes reddened, his hands trembling.

Ding Huan nodded: "Lead the way."

The name Xuan Huang Xian Sect sounded familiar; Ding Huan sifted through his memories but found no recollection of Xuanhuan Xian Sect.

No matter how vast Luxing Xiancontinent was, under the Cosmic Cauldron's speed, it was pitifully small.

In just one hour, the Cosmic Cauldron halted outside Xuan Huang Xian Sect.

"Get out of here." As Ding Huan, Cang Diyi, and Xue Xiwen stepped out of the Cosmic Cauldron, two men approached and barked.

Ding Huan ignored them, his divine sense sweeping over the distant Xuan Huang Xian Sect.

The Xian peaks had not been moved, but the entire sect had been burned once.

Thousands of charred corpses lay scattered, untouched.

On the Sect Master Peak, a headless corpse slumped over the Sect Master's seat, looking utterly desolate.

"Huan-ge, those are Gu Jia family people—my Xuan Huang Xian Sect and Xie E's Xian Pill Valley were both wiped out by them like this.

They don't even collect the corpses; they want everyone in Luxing Xiancontinent to know not to casually offend the Gu Jia family…"

Since meeting Ding Huan, Cang Diyi had remained relatively composed.

Now, back at Xuan Huang Xian Sect, he could no longer hold back his tears.

The sect was destroyed because of him; thousands of fellow disciples became vengeful spirits because of him.

"Is the Xian Pill Valley the sect next to Xuan Huang Xian Sect?" Ding Huan's divine sense had already scanned the distant Xian Pill Valley.

The two sects were adjacent, but the Xian Pill Valley fared no better—equally littered with corpses.

"Yes."

"Then why wait? Kill these two, then go to Xuan Huang Xian Sect."

Ding Huan looked at the two Jin Xian before him, his tone growing colder.

Cang Diyi had long wanted to strike, but feared endangering Ding Huan, so he held back.

Now, hearing Ding Huan's words, he charged forward—punching one, then the other.

The two Jin Xian guarding Xuan Huang Xian Sect offered no resistance; Cang Diyi crushed their skulls.

These two hadn't even considered anyone would dare attack Gu Jia family members.

All who had done so before had seen their families and sects vanish.

"Is the Gu Jia family very tyrannical in Luxing Xiancontinent?" Ding Huan asked aloud, though he already knew the answer—this Gu Jia family was more than merely tyrannical.

Cang Diyi gritted his teeth: "Tyrannical? They've destroyed nearly a hundred sects and families in Luxing Xiancontinent.

If the Gu Jia family covets something—even if it belongs to you—you must humbly deliver it; delay by a moment and your entire family is wiped out.

The Gu Jia family has an unwritten rule: for any sect or family they annihilate, their corpses must remain uncollected for a hundred years, as a warning."

"Where is the Gu Jia family's largest shop?" Ding Huan asked again.

Cang Diyi handed Ding Huan a directional jade slip: "It's the Tian Gu Trading Tower in Gu Jia Xiancheng—in fact, in every Xiancheng in Luxing Xiancontinent, the largest trading tower belongs to the Gu Jia family."

Ding Huan nodded: "Good. I'll go out for a stroll. You clean up Xuan Huang Xian Sect. When I return, I'll cultivate here for a while."

"Huan-ge, we probably can't stay long—the Gu Jia family will come quickly after their men are killed," Cang Diyi said, worried.

Ding Huan handed Cang Diyi two array plates and a communication pearl:

"This is a trapping and killing array plate, plus a defensive array plate. If the Gu Jia family comes, you and Xiwen hide inside. If the opponent is too strong, send me a message."

"Understood." Cang Diyi knew that even if Huan-ge hadn't reached Xian King, as long as Jia Buqin wasn't here, no one in the Gu Jia family could suppress him.

Jia Buqin was clearly not in Luxing Xiancontinent; Ding Huan estimated that even if Jia Buqin moved at top speed, he couldn't outpace the Cosmic Cauldron.

Once he eradicated the Gu Jia family, he would wait at Xuan Huang Xian Sect for Jia Buqin to arrive.

…

Gu Jia Xiancheng was the largest Xiancheng in Luxing Xiancontinent.

It was also the only private Xiancheng, for the city belonged entirely to the Gu Jia family and was nearly adjacent to their domain.

Despite the Gu Jia family's absolute control, exorbitant prices, and mandatory Xian crystal entry fees, many cultivators still came.

After all, only Gu Jia Xiancheng offered the finest goods in all of Luxing Xiancontinent.

In Luxing Xiancontinent, cultivators seeking to ascend further could not do without Gu Jia Xiancheng.

Any Xian pills and Xian herbs unavailable elsewhere were here; any alchemy materials and artifacts unobtainable elsewhere were here.

As for cultivation techniques, the Tian Gu Trading Tower in Gu Jia Xiancheng had more than could be counted.

This was because the Gu Jia family had destroyed so many families and sects, and slain so many cultivators.

Ding Huan stood outside Gu Jia Xiancheng; with a single sweep of his divine sense, he spotted the Gu Jia family.

After entering Lùxīng Xianlu, Ding Huan did not wander about, but nowhere he passed could compare to the Gujia family.

The location of the Gujia family radiated majestic energy; the immortal qi there was even denser than in some Seven-Star Immortal Sects of the Great Immortal Realm.

The entire Gujia family was encircled by a row of Spirit-Collecting Immortal Trees, and the immortal qi within a radius of tens of millions of li flowed like water, swept into the Gujia family.

In terms of grandeur, the Gujia family truly deserved to be called the foremost house on Lùxīng Xianlu.

Ding Huan sighed; logically, he could have gone straight to exterminate the Gujia family.

But he was accustomed to having a just cause for action.

Regardless of the reason, Ding Huan attributed it all to his Dao heart.

In truth, the Gujia family had already provoked him—at least, Jia Buqin had hunted him.

But now Ding Huan was not killing one person, but many.

Perhaps some in the Gujia family were innocent—so what? After an avalanche, which snowflake is innocent?

Upon entering Gujia Xiancheng, Ding Huan's first sight was the Tiangu Business Tower.

The Tiangu Business Tower rose at the entrance of Gujia Xiancheng, stretching for several li.

Aside from the similar grand business towers Ding Huan had seen on Tianjie, the Tiangu Business Tower was unquestionably a giant among business towers.

Inside the Tiangu Business Tower, luxury reached its peak.

Even the immortal qi inside the Tiangu Business Tower was far stronger than outside.

Inside the Tiangu Business Tower, Ding Huan saw few idle people.

The people here were few, and none seemed to have entered merely to stroll—they were all here to buy things.

Ding Huan sneered inwardly; this shabby business tower had survived until today only because it possessed something no other place had—otherwise, it would have long gone bankrupt.

Clearly, the Tiangu Business Tower forbade anyone from entering to soak up immortal qi without purchasing anything.

"What does your grace require?" A servant hurried forward after Ding Huan had walked half the circle, his tone implying: buy or get out.

Ding Huan raised his hand; Feiyuan Sword landed on the counter: "Check this immortal sword for me."

As soon as Feiyuan Sword was drawn, and with Ding Huan deliberately activating it, the aura of the Heavenly and Earthly Dao rhythm immediately filled the entire immortal tower.

At that moment, all cultivators still lingering inside turned toward Ding Huan, their gazes fixing on Feiyuan Sword.

The servant stared in shock at the sword before him—it was unquestionably a Spirit Treasure, something beyond even the supreme-grade immortal weapon.

"Are you selling it?" The servant sent a message, his eyes locked on Ding Huan, his spiritual sense fixed on Feiyuan Sword.

"Tell me the value of this sword," Ding Huan said calmly.

"Hahahaha…" A loud laugh rang out; a thin man strode over in a few steps and snatched Feiyuan Sword from the counter.

Post-heavenly Spirit Treasure—this was unquestionably a Post-heavenly Spirit Treasure.

The man's face flushed with excitement.

Even the head of the Gujia family did not possess such a treasure.

He didn't even care about Ding Huan—this cultivator who hadn't even reached Immortal King was beneath his notice.

His gaze swept over the other customers in the tower: "All of you, leave. We have business to discuss today—no sales for now."

The cultivators who had come to buy things quickly filed out of the tower.

Each person who left cast a pitying glance at Ding Huan.

This young man was truly clueless about death.

To bring a Post-heavenly Spirit Treasure to the Gujia family for appraisal—what else could this be but suicide?

Once everyone had left, the thin man raised his hand to seal the tower's barriers, waved the immortal sword in his hand, and looked at Ding Huan:

"You want to buy this sword? This sword won't be sold if the price is too low."

Ding Huan was utterly speechless. He had assumed the man would invent an excuse to buy his sword cheaply—and if he refused, he'd never leave the tower alive.

He hadn't expected he himself was still too honorable—look at the sheer audacity of the Tiangu Business Tower's Shopkeeper, who directly asked if he wanted to buy his own sword.

"This Feiyuan Sword is my treasure—I only brought it to inquire about its value."

As Ding Huan spoke, he felt a pang of shame—he realized he ought to learn from this man; he wasn't shameless enough.

"So, seeing something good, you want to claim it for yourself…"

The thin man's killing intent instantly enveloped Ding Huan.

Ding Huan had no patience for further words; he opened his palm, and Feiyuan Sword cleanly severed the man's arms, then swept in a slight arc, effortlessly slicing off his head, before returning to Ding Huan's hand.

The man was merely a Late-stage Supreme Immortal—he had already killed two Gujia family Immortal Kings.

"You dare kill…"

Before the thin Shopkeeper's Primordial Spirit could escape, it was engulfed by Ding Huan's flames.

Then Ding Huan's flames surged outward, as if guided by eyes, wrapping the entire Tiangu Business Tower.

Ding Huan walked out of the Tiangu Business Tower with his hands behind his back, utterly ignoring the stunned onlookers around him.

A single leaf can reveal the whole world—from the behavior of this thin Shopkeeper of the Tiangu Business Tower, Ding Huan knew the Gujia family deserved his Fugu Shidao Package.
