Chapter 536

Xiao Bai's words were brimming with domineering aura, directly proclaiming to the world in plain sight.

From now on, this place is the center of the immortal realm, the heaven of the immortal realm.

You dissatisfied? If you're dissatisfied, then lie down!

"Now this beast announces the top ten forces contributing to the construction of Heavenly City: they are as follows:"

"Misty Immortal Palace, Profound Void Immortal Sect"

"Supreme Immortal Sect, Divine Universe Immortal Gate"

"Carefree Immortal Mountain."

"Vast Commerce Association, Immortal Millet Commerce Association, Heavenly Wanderer Commerce Association, Fearless Commerce Association, Great Zhao Commerce Association."

Five of them are major powers that have participated in cultivation in the Phantasmal Realm, and the other five are major commerce associations from various Dao realms.

"Congratulations to these ten forces for making the top ten; you may first freely choose the best locations within Heavenly City."

"Cultivators who participated in the construction can come to me or to my sect elders to purchase land or shops."

"Those who did not participate in construction can enter the city after three days upon paying the entry fee; if you wish to purchase, line up at the back, and with luck you may still snag a purchase token."

Xiao Bai's words were brimming with domineering aura, directly proclaiming to the world in plain sight.

Countless cultivators who participated in the construction excitedly raised their arms in cheer, each pulling out spatial treasures filled with immortal crystals and rushing forward to purchase.

As for those cultivators who did not participate, their eyes were full of envy and helplessness.

It's not that they didn't want to participate in the construction!

Damn it, even the brick‑moving jobs have been snatched up—who can we turn to for justice…

Today, Xiao Bai and several outer‑sect elders in charge of collecting immortal crystals have not stopped.

They have truly experienced the feeling of collecting money until their hands go soft.

But they didn't feel tired, especially Xiao Bai, whose raised corners of the mouth never came down.

"Haha, using your resources, treasures, and manpower to build our Azure Cloud Heavenly City, then after it's done you come to purchase frenziedly, tsk tsk tsk."

Xiao Bai collected immortal crystals with a smiling face the whole time; the more he looked at the queue of cultivators, the more pleasing they were to his eye.

The Sect Master's words were spot on: "You might make a small profit, but I will never lose."

Heavenly City is completed; now we just sit back and wait to siphon the resources and immortal crystals of the entire immortal realm, as well as all manner of heavenly prodigies—really awesome!

A few days later, with the full opening of Azure Cloud Heavenly City, it once again triggered a huge sensation in the upper three Dao realms!

Various major powers announced their stationing in Heavenly City, one after another, and numerous large commerce associations followed.

The purchase tokens of Heavenly City have been hyped to sky‑high prices; even so, a single token is still hard to come by.

A saying gradually spread among cultivators of various prefectures and gained wide acceptance: if you offend a strong one and are hunted down, just flee to Azure Cloud Heavenly City.

No matter the cultivation or background of your enemies, they dare not move against you in Heavenly City; you are safe.

This saying attracted many cultivators who follow the "survival" path; those who have visited Heavenly City mostly sigh with emotion, calling its air sweetly fragrant and deeming it the radiant beacon of the immortal realm…

"Be quick, everyone, move as fast as you can—there are still many crates behind."

Outside the sect's treasure pavilion, Xiao Bai was energetically directing many outer‑sect disciples to move heavy crates, one after another.

Don't get me wrong—Azure Cloud does have spatial treasures; in fact, these crates are filled entirely with spatial treasures, each brimming with top‑grade immortal crystals.

"My lord, you have arrived."

Xiao Bai suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure approaching, its face lighting up as it hurried forward.

"How have the earnings been these past few days?"

Feng Qingyang glanced at the endless stream of large crates being conveyed here and had a rough idea in his mind.

Who would have thought that a spur‑of‑the‑moment decision to build an immortal city in the upper three Dao realms would be this profitable, even while taking risks to… cough, cough, to make money, what for?

"My lord! It's unprecedented! The immortal crystals are so abundant that our spatial treasures are almost insufficient—you have no idea how crazy those people are! It's utterly outrageous!"

"They treat immortal crystals like roadside stones, endlessly sending them our way in a frenzy!"

"What we've earned this time is absolutely more than one‑third of our sect's foundation! And this has only just begun!"

Xiao Bai danced excitedly with waving arms and legs; these resources are enough to drive any major power mad!

"Alas, if only my second younger brother were here—such a huge opportunity to count immortal crystals doesn't come often."

Feng Qingyang saw Xiao Bai's hesitant expression and knew what it was thinking; he hadn't expected Xiao Bai and the Black Emperor to share such deep brotherly bonds.

However, what did the Black Emperor say when he was testing medicines that day?

"The Black Emperor has been in the spacetime dao platform for over ten days; calculating at a 1:5000 spacetime flow rate, that amounts to nearly two hundred years, so he should be exiting seclusion soon."

Sou—

As Feng Qingyang's words fell, a resonant tearing‑through‑the‑air sound came!

Only a massive black silhouette was seen flying out from the spacetime dao platform within the main area and appearing in the void above.

Boom—! At the same time, a dark, oppressive, terrifying tribulation cloud gathered, covering the sky and blotting out the sun!

Xiao Bai stared intently, then exclaimed delightedly: "My second younger brother has left seclusion!"

The Black Emperor in the void is now in his true‑body descended state, his appearance still that of after he swallowed the medicine and went berserk that day, except his skin color has returned from blood‑red to its original dark black.

Its aura is immensely terrifying; its blood‑red eyes are filled only with icy cold, wholly befitting its ferocious beast nature—a living great ferocious beast has manifested in the world!

"Roar!" Faced with the tribulation clouds descending like a heavenly blanket, the Black Emperor howled incessantly, neither dodging nor evading, but instead opened its blood‑filled maw and began to devour!

"Damn, how did my second younger brother become so ferocious? Devouring tribulation clouds outright?"

After the Black Emperor's maneuvers, Xiao Bai stared agape—wasn't this his own signature move? He had obtained the Heaven‑Swallowing Demon Immortal Emperor inheritance, whereby everything can be swallowed.

In a short while, the Black Emperor in the void had swallowed the sky‑covering tribulation clouds completely, terrifying beyond measure!

"Roar!" After another howl, the Black Emperor's already massive frame began to swell further—its size enough to… fill the wind‑cloud mountain range!

Crackling purple arcs flowed over its dark black skin, and the demonic dao seed within its body gradually transformed into a thriving demonic emperor leaf.

The half‑step Immortal Emperor aura of the God Master Eightfold Realm burst forth across the heavens!

【Great Luo Golden Immortal, Immortal King, Immortal Emperor, Immortal Venerable, Half-step Immortal Emperor (Divine Lord Realm levels one to nine) Quasi-Immortal Emperor (Divine Lord Realm ninefold great completion) Immortal Emperor.】

After the breakthrough was completed, the Black Emperor returned to the size of its incarnation and flew down.

「Second Brother! Congratulations! You really turned misfortune into blessing this time; from the aura, it's not just a simple breakthrough of Divine Lord level, you definitely broke through several realms. 」

After the Black Emperor came down, Little White immediately went up to greet it; who would have thought the Black Emperor actually turned a deaf ear to its words, as if it didn't exist, 「Hey! Hey! 」

Holy crap! Could it be that the side effects of that pill haven't ended yet?

This is bad; Second Brother is about to be slapped away by the Lord again.

「Subordinate Black Emperor greets Sect Master, thank you Sect Master for bestowing the pill. 」

ps: Now we're about to start a brand-new chapter, the Upper Three Dao Regions have heavenly talents as numerous as clouds, strong ones emerging in succession; don't you want to go and see with me? Hurry, understand?

Vast and magnificent Shang San Yu, the golden age brims with enchanting beauties.
