Chapter 699: Emperor Weapons! Winds Rise

There are thousands of shops in Qing Tian Luocheng, and behind the scenes, they are either high-level members of the Qing Tian Luocheng Universe Alliance or Emperor Realm experts from various Divine Mansions... Of course, a considerable portion are opened by other top major factions in the Dark Domains.

Like the Chaos Mansion, it also opened three shops, selling weapons, elixirs, and rare wonders respectively... The so-called rare wonders encompass everything.

For example, Wang Hunyuan Liquid, Emperor Soul Source Liquid, Eighth-Rank remains, etc... all belong to the category of rare wonders.

Li Yuan naturally prioritized visiting his own shops. He went directly to the weapon shop. Although it was called a shop, the interior was extremely vast, like a small world.

"Quasi-Saint Xinyuan." The three attendants at the entrance saw Li Yuan enter the shop, and a female attendant hurriedly welcomed him. She was wearing a uniform and looked very knowledgeable.

"You recognize me?" Li Yuan smiled.

"We are familiar with the information of every Quasi-Saint in the Divine Mansion." The female attendant said respectfully: "Although Quasi-Saint Xinyuan is new to the mansion, you obtained the Protector Order at the God King Realm... Your fame has gradually spread throughout the entire Star City, so how could we not know?"

"Spreading throughout the city?" Li Yuan was thoughtful.

Many people in the Qing Tian Luocheng Universe Alliance knew about this... The Quasi-Saints of the Chaos Mansion all knew about it, so it was no surprise that it spread.

Li Yuan had never thought of hiding it.

"Quasi-Saint Xinyuan, our shop has a large number of powerful God King weapons that can be exchanged." The female attendant said respectfully: "According to the Elder's instructions, with your authority, we will give you the lowest discounted price."

"Alright."

"Introduce them to me one by one." Li Yuan said. He possessed nearly 20 million Eternal Crystals, making him a giant among low-rank Quasi-Saints. Although he had the intention to purchase treasures in his own shop, the prerequisite was that they had to be suitable.

The so-called low-rank Quasi-Saints refer to Quasi-Saints who have not yet reached the Emperor Realm.

"Please, this way."

"This spatial area is all Lower-Grade God King weapons, totaling 2,184,562 items..." The female attendant led Li Yuan, pointing to the distance to introduce them.

In the vast void, covered by powerful restrictions, weapons emitting strange light were suspended.

Li Yuan looked from afar.

Lower-Grade God King weapons are heavy treasures for ordinary Heavenly Gods... but they are too common in the Eternal Ruins, and all have a unified price of 10 Eternal Crystals each.

"I'm afraid they were all slowly refined by the Star Attendants of the Divine Mansion over long ages." Li Yuan muttered to himself.

More than two million Lower-Grade God King weapons, in terms of value, are only worth a few ordinary Emperor Weapons.

The quantity of Mid-Grade God King weapons is much smaller, and the price is much more expensive... Upper-Grade God King weapons cost at least several thousand Eternal Crystals, and that's only for those containing the three-step mysteries of ordinary Dao.

If they contain the mysteries of High-Stage Eternal Dao or Top-Tier Eternal Dao, the price would soar continuously.

"These top-tier God King weapons contain the three-step mysteries of the Top-Tier Eternal Dao, totaling 165 items." The female attendant led Li Yuan to the fifth spatial area.

The treasures in this area were very few.

But the aura of each item was quite extraordinary... far more powerful than the Silver Moon Divine Spear or the Blazing Meteor Divine Spear, and no less than the Five Elements Divine Wheel or the River of the World.

The price ranges from hundreds of thousands of Eternal Crystals to as expensive as two million Eternal Crystals.

Li Yuan understood the reason.

In terms of the power of Dao mysteries, these top-tier God King weapons are no less than ordinary Emperor Weapons, but they lack "Emperor Might," and their ability to assist in cultivation is much weaker... Most Quasi-Saints exchange for Emperor Weapons to pursue the Dao mysteries contained in the Emperor Weapon's origin.

Conversely.

The top-tier God King weapons in front of him have extremely strong power, but they contain the mysteries of the Top-Tier Eternal Dao, which may not be suitable for Quasi-Saints to learn from and deduce, so the overall price naturally comes down.

Li Yuan observed them one by one, sensing the aura of these God King weapons to confirm if they were suitable for him.

The female Star Attendant waited patiently.

After a long time.

"There are 16 items suitable for me." Li Yuan had a judgment in his heart, but he didn't say much, still saying: "Are there any Emperor Weapons for sale?"

Li Yuan's primary goal was still Emperor Weapons.

"Yes, but not many." The female Star Attendant said patiently: "There are very few powerhouses in Qing Tian Luocheng who can afford Emperor Weapons... and if too many Emperor Weapons are stored in the shop, it is easy to attract covetous eyes."

Li Yuan understood.

Although these shops are blessed with formation restrictions, if a peak Emperor Realm powerhouse were to strike, I'm afraid they could still be easily broken... and God Emperors don't have the time to guard here long-term.

Therefore, the total value of treasures stored in these shops is generally not worth being looted by peak Emperor Realm powerhouses.

"Let me take a look." Li Yuan smiled.

"Thirteen Emperor Weapons, not a single one is suitable for me." After observing the thirteen Emperor Weapons, Li Yuan felt a bit disappointed.

These Emperor Weapons all contained the four-step mysteries of the High-Stage Eternal Dao.

But they were mostly Emperor Weapons of the Life Dao or Destruction Dao... and there wasn't even one in the shape of a spear.

"I'll go to other shops to take a look." Li Yuan was not in a hurry; his original plan was to visit all the shops in Qing Tian Luocheng.

As time passed, besides the three shops of the Chaos Mansion, Li Yuan began to visit other shops in the city.

Talisman shops, elixir shops, rare wonder shops, weapon shops, puppet shops... It truly opened Li Yuan's eyes; many rare wonders that could not be seen in the Xinmeng Universe were all available here.

"This Quasi-Saint."

"Here, we have massive amounts of 'life materials' from the Third Dark Domain, among which there are 64.3 billion types of basic life materials below the Eighth Rank, totaling 7.6459 trillion portions." The attendant talked eloquently: "Among them, there are also more than 10 million portions of Void God level and above materials."

"Packed and sold all at once, 15 million Eternal Crystals."

Li Yuan shook his head: "Too expensive, can't afford it."

It sounded tempting, but the price was also staggering... Li Yuan believed that such a massive quantity of life materials must have been collected with countless efforts.

"Haha, this is the complete version."

"There is also a simplified version, including some of the most important life materials. Generally speaking, it is enough for powerhouses of the Life lineage to research." The attendant immediately smiled: "It only costs 1.8 million Eternal Crystals."

"I'll consider it." Li Yuan said.

"A portion of ordinary Wang Hunyuan Liquid, 10,000 Eternal Crystals."

"If it's a Quasi-Saint's Wang Hunyuan Liquid, 200,000 Eternal Crystals per portion." The attendant said: "If you purchase more than ten portions at once, an extra portion will be gifted."

Obviously, whether the soul origin extractor has opened the path makes a big difference in the price of Wang Hunyuan Liquid.

"This armor, named 'Jie Xiang', contains the four-step mysteries of the World Dao and is an extremely powerful Emperor Weapon. It can allow the holder to transform their body into a world. With it protecting the body, even facing a God Emperor's attack, it can withstand multiple attacks." The Star Attendant smiled: "This armor is also the treasure of our shop."

Li Yuan looked at the massive armor suspended in the world, with countless complex secret patterns, luxurious to the extreme, and the aura was also tyrannical to the extreme.

It felt as if a vast heaven and earth were crushing down.

Compared to "Shi Yuan," even if this armor was slightly inferior, it was definitely a powerful Emperor Weapon of the same level.

"How much is it selling for?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"4.2 billion Eternal Crystals. If you want to purchase it, I have to report it to the Emperor Realm expert." The Star Attendant smiled. This was a number Li Yuan dared not think about.

"Too expensive." Li Yuan shook his head secretly.

The price was hundreds of times more than many ordinary Emperor Weapons... Li Yuan truly realized the value of Shi Yuan. That God Emperor Juexing could gift it to him was indeed a huge investment.

"Li Yuan."

"There is an essential difference between Emperor Weapons containing High-Stage Eternal Dao and those containing Top-Tier Eternal Dao." Xiao Mu's voice sounded suddenly: "For the former, as long as Emperor Realm experts are willing and spend time, almost all can refine them, and it is much easier, so the quantity is actually quite large... But for the latter, ordinary Emperor Realm experts simply cannot refine them."

"Even if a peak Emperor Realm powerhouse wants to refine one, it would take long ages."

"After all, a top-tier Eternal Dao is too perfect; wanting to perfectly engrave it into the origin of an Imperial Weapon is astonishingly difficult."

"That this shop can have such a heavy treasure for sale already surprises me quite a bit." Xiao Mu sighed with emotion.

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.

Shops opened by the Chaos Mansion or Red Lotus Mansion don't have such rare wonders.

"It is indeed worthy of being a direct shop of the Qing Tian Luocheng Universe Alliance. I wonder which elder is behind it." Li Yuan pondered secretly.

Visiting shop after shop.

There were too many treasures, simply dazzling... Even as time passed, Li Yuan couldn't help but have a thought.

"If I had the ability to rob the entire Qing Tian Luoxingcheng, that would be a huge profit." Li Yuan sighed secretly: "No wonder in the history of the Immortal World, there have been many times when multiple Abyss Masters joined forces, wanting to completely break through a Star City."

"There have also been Abyss Supremes who destroyed Star Cities."

Not for the Abyss's rewards.

The massive amount of treasures contained in the Star City itself is probably enough to make the Masters' hearts beat faster.

Spending three days visiting the entire Qing Tian Luocheng, Li Yuan had a goal.

However.

He didn't come forward to purchase it himself, but directly requested an audience with Elder Huo Qu.

"Ask me to help you purchase an Emperor Weapon?" Elder Huo Qu laughed.

"Yes, Elder."

"I am only an Eighth-Rank practitioner. If I purchase an Emperor Weapon directly, it would be too eye-catching, and I'm afraid those shops would secretly leak the news." Li Yuan said: "If Elder comes forward to help me purchase it, then it would be difficult for enemies to guess that the Emperor Weapon fell into my hands."

The Chaos Mansion has many Sixth-Rank Quasi-Saints and Fifth-Rank Quasi-Saints.

All of them have the possibility of purchasing Emperor Weapons. "Alright." Elder Huo Qu nodded. Purchasing Emperor Weapons or some heavy treasures and rare wonders on behalf of the Quasi-Saints of the Divine Mansion is one of his duties as an Elder.

He cannot refuse.

"Give me the information on the Emperor Weapon, which shop it is in, the Emperor Weapon's serial number, and the price." Elder Huo Qu said: "I will go in half a month."

If he went to purchase it immediately, and then linked it to Li Yuan having just visited Qing Tian Luocheng, it would still be very eye-catching.

After half a month, it would be difficult for other factions to guess... and the probability of the Emperor Weapon Li Yuan secretly took a fancy to being purchased by others within half a month is also very low.

"Alright." Li Yuan nodded.

He could afford to wait for half a month.

When Li Yuan was cultivating in seclusion in the Divine Mansion, news about him had already spread completely throughout Qing Tian Luoxingcheng.

"Quasi-Saint Xinyuan? It is said that he has only cultivated for a few thousand years, yet he already has the strength of a Fifth-Rank Quasi-Saint."

"He is from the Chaos Mansion."

"I heard the Qing Tian Luocheng Universe Alliance gifted him a Protector Order."

"Protector Order? Really or fake?"

"Really! I've already checked with a friend in the Chaos Mansion."

"Why?"

"A Protector Order! Many Emperor Realm powerhouses might not even be able to get one, so why did a little fellow at the God King Realm, who doesn't even have the strength of a Sixth-Rank Quasi-Saint, get one?" This news spread like a hurricane.

In the past, Li Yuan was famous in the Eighth Dark Domain, but only known among powerhouses of the current era.

And arriving in the Immortal World.

Just by directly obtaining the Star City Protector Order, plus his short cultivation age that made people palpitate, his fame climbed to an astonishing level in a very short time.

It was completely comparable to God King Zihuo.

Adjacent to Qing Tian Luocheng is an exceptionally massive Divine Mansion City, where the powerhouses of the Qing Tian Luocheng Universe gather.

At the very top of the city.

Here, one cannot step foot without being a core member of the Qing Tian Luocheng Universe Alliance.

Inside the pavilion, one can easily overlook the entire Star City continent.

"Brother Yunyue, there are quite a few God Emperors secretly complaining to me." An old man in black robes smiled: "Many of their disciples and descendants also have good strength, and they all yearn for a Protector Order, yet you are stubbornly unwilling to give them one."

"Before, you gave one to God King Zihuo. God King Zihuo has extraordinary strength, so they had nothing to say."

"Now."

"An outsider, whose strength is still very low, yet you secretly gave him one. It's hard to convince the public..." The old man in black robes laughed.

Although his words were light, they carried a tone of accusation.

"Complaining?"

"How come I don't know? If any God Emperor has an opinion, they can come see me directly." God Emperor Yunyue looked indifferent, not caring at all.

The old man in black robes shook his head: "Yunyue, do you think they dare to find you?"

"Many God Emperors, although their strength is not as good as yours, are ultimately high-level members of our Universe Alliance... Your actions this time ultimately need an explanation." The old man in black robes sighed.

God Emperor Yunyue looked at the old man in black robes.

The other party is also an elder of the Universe Alliance, with astonishing strength... However, the three elders of the Qing Tian Luocheng Universe Alliance each take charge of a part of the Universe Alliance's affairs.

The management of the Star City is done by God Emperor Yunyue.

"My actions have never needed an explanation."

"I am the manager of the Star City. I gave Quasi-Saint Xinyuan a Protector Order, and the Alliance Master knows and agrees." God Emperor Yunyue said indifferently: "If other God Emperors have opinions, tell them to just hold it in... They can also secretly provide feedback to the Master."

"However!"

"If I find out, don't blame me for stripping them of their Star City Protector Order." God Emperor Yunyue's voice was calm, but the accumulated prestige over long ages made the old man in black robes understand that the other party was extremely serious.

In history.

There is more than one God Emperor of the Qing Tian Luocheng Universe Alliance who has been stripped of their Protector Order by God Emperor Yunyue.

"Yunyue, you are too overbearing." The old man in black robes shook his head.

"It is you who crossed the line." God Emperor Yunyue said calmly: "I manage the Star City, how I do it... you just watch."

"Do you think that highly of that Quasi-Saint Xinyuan?" The old man in black robes frowned: "But you must understand, he is ultimately not a member of our Qing Tian Luocheng Universe Alliance. If he only becomes a peak Emperor Realm expert in the future, that's fine... If he becomes a Master, it might not be a good thing for our Qing Tian Luocheng Universe Alliance."

"Wait until the future, and you will naturally understand." God Emperor Yunyue shook his head.

In the end, the two parted on bad terms, and the old man in black robes left helplessly. Just as God Emperor Yunyue said, Star City matters... in the situation where the Master does not come forward, he has the final decision-making power.

After sending the other party away.

Whoosh!

Space twisted slightly, and a figure in grey robes appeared outside the pavilion: "Greetings, Master."

"Carry my token and make a trip to the Chaos Mansion to find Quasi-Saint Xinyuan." God Emperor Yunyue said slowly: "Remember, don't let others know."

"Yes, Master." The figure in grey robes said respectfully, then turned and left.

Inside the pavilion, only God Emperor Yunyue remained.

"Making a fuss over a Protector Order? A bunch of guys who don't think about progress." A trace of coldness flashed in God Emperor Yunyue's eyes.

He thought very far ahead.

"The reincarnation of the Universe is getting closer and closer... I'm afraid more than half of this era of our Qing Tian Luocheng Universe has passed." God Emperor Yunyue sighed secretly.

Standing at the very top of the Universe Alliance, he naturally considers the future.

"The path to the Supreme."

"Back then, Master even lost his trail in the Ancient Ruins of the Long River..." God Emperor Yunyue murmured to himself: "Compared to Master, I am far inferior, and I cannot even find the path to step into the Supreme."

"Multi-party layout, perhaps, there is still a glimmer of life in the future."

News and intelligence about Li Yuan also spread rapidly to other Star Cities through the branches of major factions stationed in Qing Tian Luoxingcheng.

In the Immortal Spirit Star City, inside a magnificent palace.

"God King Xinyuan?"

"He has finally arrived in the Immortal World." A cold light flashed in the eyes of the incarnation of the Ancestor of the Immortal Spirit: "Everyone, I need the Universe Alliance to use its power as much as possible to fully monitor every move of God King Xinyuan... He is a powerhouse of the current era, and the cultivation efficiency in the universe's spacetime is the highest. Coming to the Immortal World cannot just be for quiet cultivation."

"He must be going out to roam and temper himself."

"As long as he leaves the Star City, there will be an opportunity!" The Ancestor of the Immortal Spirit said solemnly: "He is a major threat, I suggest we eliminate him as early as possible."

The Ancestor of the Immortal Spirit yearned immensely to kill Li Yuan.

"Eliminate? Use rare treasures to try and completely destroy him?"

"Is it worth it?"

"Although he is a threat, he doesn't have an irreconcilable feud with our Immortal Court... If we kill recklessly, that would be deepening the feud."

"If we don't succeed, wait until he becomes an Emperor in the future, at least a peak Emperor Realm expert, and he will be a big trouble." Several Emperor Realm powerhouses at the meeting spoke one after another.

In their view, if they only destroyed one or two of Li Yuan's true bodies, it wouldn't be very meaningful.

If they wanted to completely destroy him? The difficulty was too high, even if they used some extremely terrifying and precious secret treasures... they might not succeed.

"Everyone."

"I agree to use all means to strangle him in the cradle; this is our last chance... Once he steps into the Emperor Realm, we won't have any chance at all." A low voice sounded abruptly: "Back then, we were suppressed by the Honghe Universe Alliance; do you still want the Honghe Universe Alliance to reappear?"

His words instantly attracted the attention of all the Emperor Realm experts present.

"It's Yushan."

"Hasn't Yushan always been at odds with Qingxian?"

"The two of them can actually reach a consensus."

"But Yushan makes sense... Xinyuan's threat is too great, he should indeed be strangled." Other Emperor Realm experts, although they felt a trace of strangeness about the words of the Holy Ancestor Yushan, didn't care too much.

In the end, in the vote, six Emperor Realm experts agreed, and four opposed... a special action targeting Li Yuan was temporarily reached.

The news also reached the Abyss Masters through some secret channels.

Youwu Demon Cave.

This is one of the six major Abyss Demon Caves in the Immortal World, where a massive number of Abyss lifeforms live. Although it is within the Immortal World, it is a paradise for Abyss lifeforms.

In a mysterious place deep in the Demon Cave, a massive lifeform lay quietly here.

"Xinyuan?"

"According to the intelligence I received, he should have two true bodies coming to the Immortal World." The massive lifeform opened its eyes slightly: "As long as I capture his two true bodies and exchange them for two Tomb Stone fragments, he should be willing."

"Such an important matter, I should do it myself."

Whoosh! Silently, this massive lifeform had disappeared without a trace, rushing directly towards the direction of Qing Tian Luoxingcheng.
