Chapter 188

The Lotus Cloud Immortaless gazed at the giant warships, her expression indifferent.

She knew the origin of these giant warships—they belonged to the Great Xuan Empire, and behind the Great Xuan Empire stood the Weitaiyi Sect, long-time enemies of the Exalted Linglong.

After the Rourou Xianzun broke away from the Weitaiyi Sect and founded the Exalted Linglong, the Weitaiyi Sect never let her go, repeatedly sending assassins to kill her; yet the more they hunted her, the stronger she became, until she reached a point where no one could kill her, even slaying several Grand Elders of the Weitaiyi Sect, forcing them to abandon pursuit and allowing the Exalted Linglong to firmly establish itself.

The enmity between them could never be resolved.

"Disciples of the Weitaiyi Sect… I've heard they're all arrogant, as if they're heavenly envoys sent to uphold heaven's justice—but they're not worthy of it."

Fang Yu shook his head as he heard the Lotus Cloud Immortaless speak the three words "Weitaiyi Sect."

The Yuhua Sect's "All Worlds" had described the Weitaiyi Sect, saying they sought to establish a merit system according to their own order, seizing control of the merit of the Huang Da World.

They alone would judge whether a cultivator had merit or not; if one had merit, they would bestow rewards, but if one had sin, they would kill immediately.

Naturally, such a thing drew opposition from everyone—it was outright interference in the internal affairs of all Men Sects, and if such a merit system were truly established, wouldn't the life or death of every other sect be decided by the Weitaiyi Sect?

But the Weitaiyi Sect possessed sufficient strength, for they had Immortal Artifacts.

Immortal Artifacts surpass Divine Artifacts; a single Immortal Artifact could suppress all Men Sects in the Huang Da World—even if the Rourou Xianzun was the strongest in the Huang Da World, she still had to fear the Weitaiyi Sect's Immortal Artifact.

Thus, in a sense, the reason the Weitaiyi Sect had not yet fully implemented this merit system was because of the Rourou Xianzun—unless they killed her, the merit system could never proceed.

As the group spoke of secrets of the Dao Cultivation World, they headed toward the Wan Gui Sea Market, and the Five Prison King Cauldron, this supreme treasure, had already been stored by Fang Yu in a new lower-grade treasure bag he had acquired.

The pouch had no other features—it simply could contain things, perfectly suited to hold the Five Prison King Cauldron.

Otherwise, the Five Prison King Cauldron would inevitably attract trouble.

As they neared this continent, Fang Yu saw people flying about; most wore Spirit-Grade robes, some used top-grade magical flying talismans, but few were seen who had entered the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

Whether Fang Yu, the Lotus Cloud Immortaless, Long Xuan, or the Green Quiao Immortaless, all wore Spirit-Grade robes, relying solely on the robes' power to fly slowly through the air, invisible and unassuming.

"Senior Fang, the largest shop in the Wan Gui Sea Market is the Black Tortoise Pavilion—it's owned by the Wan Gui Xiandao itself, and it sells all kinds of Spirit Herbs, and you can also sell things there. I've been here once before."

Long Xuan, clearly having been here before, spoke up.

As they spoke, the four descended at the very center of this Dacheng, where a palace-like building stood.

But it was not a palace—above the gate were three massive characters: Black Tortoise Pavilion.

Atop the great hall stood a colossal Black Tortoise, as if ready to soar into the sky.

As Fang Yu and the others landed, several disciples hurried forward. "Which Men Sect are you from, or are you lone cultivators? Are you here to buy or sell?"

These disciples wore cultivation robes, held dust whisks, radiated powerful Physical Body energy—each was at the 8th or 9th Stage of Physical Body cultivation. Such cultivation in the mortal world would make them Grand Masters of Martial Arts, capable of founding their own sects, but among Xiandao Sect Sects, they were merely lowly disciples.

Yet their dust whisks were Spirit-Grade artifacts, and their bodies exuded traces of magic power, clearly possessing other artifacts or Spirit-Grade items.

This was far better than being a Grand Master of Martial Arts in the mortal world—perhaps with opportunity, they might break through into the Divine Ability Secret Realm.

"I am a True Disciple of the Yuhua Sect. I've come here to buy and sell, and also to claim a reward."

Fang Yu raised his hand, and a surge of magic power appeared, revealing the corpse of the Lord of the Doom Island.

"Ah! A Divine Ability Secret Realm expert! A True Disciple!"

"Whose corpse is this? It seems to be the Lord of Doom Island, the 38th most wanted criminal on the Wan Gui Xiandao's wanted list—has this senior brother and sister actually killed him?"

Upon seeing it, the eight- and nine-stage disciples immediately grew solemn, their expressions filled with profound respect.

"A distinguished guest!"
