Chapter 1712

"Good, good, good..."

Looking at He Pingsheng, excitement gleamed in Shopkeeper Gu's eyes: "It has been many years since I have seen anyone dare to extort the Imperial Palace of the Central Heaven Emperor!"

"You are at the Dao Origin stage, that is fine, but do not be too arrogant!"

"Just you wait..."

"Very soon, you will not be able to laugh!"

Shopkeeper Gu waved his hand and took out an immortal communication talisman!

With a snap, the communication talisman was crushed by him, and a golden light flew out immediately.

In an instant, half of the people in the entire immortal teahouse left.

Everyone was afraid of being caught in the crossfire; this was human nature.

But quite a few Dao Origin stage and even Great Luo Golden Immortals remained, wanting to see He Pingsheng's fate with their own eyes.

Boom, boom, boom...

The next moment, the void suddenly turned black, and sounds of thunder and lightning came.

Everyone's spiritual sense went toward the void, only to see that the previously clear sky had become overcast with dark clouds at some point.

Black clouds gathered layer by layer, forming a massive inverted mountain shape.

Countless lightning bolts evaporated from that 'inverted mountain', wave after wave, like the end of the world.

Then!

A vortex suddenly opened in the middle of the endless ink-black clouds.

A woman's legs stepped out from this vortex.

The aura from one leg was enough to suppress a region of heaven and earth.

In the trembling gaze of countless people, the woman's whole body slowly descended and stood in the void.

This was a woman dressed in a green Daoist robe, her appearance naturally peerless, and her cultivation had reached the peak of the Dao Origin stage.

A Dao Monarch.

"It is the Seventh Aunt-Grandmistress..."

"This old servant respectfully welcomes the Seventh Aunt-Grandmistress!"

"Hahahaha..."

Shopkeeper Gu laughed loudly, kneeling on the ground with a somewhat manic expression, welcoming her respectfully.

The woman in the green Daoist robe flashed and landed in front of Shopkeeper Gu.

"Who is it? Causing trouble in my Central Commercial Capital?"

Her gaze was sharp, her expression indifferent.

Shopkeeper Gu reached out and pointed at He Pingsheng.

The woman's gaze followed and looked toward He Pingsheng.

There was no killing intent in those eyes.

Only a cold indifference toward all living beings in heaven and earth.

At this moment, many immortals broke into a cold sweat for He Pingsheng.

Bai Lianchen even took three steps back!

And at this very moment, He Pingsheng was still leisurely holding a cup of tea, drinking it slowly.

Everyone thought He Pingsheng was going to be in trouble.

However, when the woman saw He Pingsheng's face clearly, her body actually paused slightly: "This... this... is it you?"

He Pingsheng put down the cup: "You recognize me?"

"Then I am sorry, I do not recognize you!"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." The woman gasped, then looked at Shopkeeper Gu and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Shopkeeper Gu pointed at He Pingsheng and said: "It is him, this person surnamed He... he was actually trading privately here!"

"This old servant came to reason with him according to the rules of our commercial capital, and he actually made this old servant pay a mid-tier Ancient God Sand in compensation!"

"He even said that if I did not pay, I would die!"

"Seventh Aunt-Grandmistress, this old servant has been here for millions of years and has never encountered such an arrogant and domineering person!"

He Pingsheng did not argue or explain, but said: "Offending one's superiors, not knowing respect, and bullying a Dao Origin Dao Monarch with a Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation—if you do not die, there is no justice in this world!"

"I let you pay with a mid-tier Ancient God Sand to save your life; that is already giving the Central Heaven face!"

"You..." Shopkeeper Gu wanted to say something more, but was pressed down by the woman.

"Fellow Daoist He..." The woman cupped her hands respectfully toward He Pingsheng and said, "My master is the Central Heaven Emperor, and I am his seventh disciple, Gu Feiyu!"

"Today, we have offended you!"

"This is a high-tier Ancient God Sand to settle today's karma!"

After saying this, the woman took out a black Ancient God Sand and personally delivered it to He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng smiled: "Good... easy, easy..."

"Thank you!"

"You are welcome!" Gu Feiyu said: "This is as it should be; it is our compensation to you, Fellow Daoist!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist!"

"Sometimes, it is unavoidable!"

"Some servants will also lose themselves over a long period of time and forget their status!"

"You, Fellow Daoist, have come today to help our Central Heaven eliminate karma and retribution. Not to mention a mere high-tier Ancient God Sand, even three or five would not be anything!"

He Pingsheng smiled.

He did not expose Gu Feiyu!

What she said now sounded nice, but when she came with such a big display just now, it seemed a bit different.

If the person you saw at this moment was not me, but an ordinary Dao Origin cultivator, would you still be so polite?

"Crack..." While He Pingsheng was thinking, Gu Feiyu stretched out her slender hand and, with a light effort, crushed Shopkeeper Gu's skull.

A Dao Origin strike, and the soul was destroyed!

"From today on..." The voice of the Seventh Young Lady, Gu Feiyu, spread throughout the entire Fifth Immortal Island: "All immortals who obtain Ancient God Sand in the Central Sea can trade freely!"

"The Central Commercial Capital is abolished!"

"Fellow Daoist He... goodbye!"

After saying this, Gu Feiyu left directly.

Countless people's gazes looked toward He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng, however, shook his head and left directly.

The immortal teahouse exploded into chaos.

"Who is this person?"

"How is it possible, how is it possible? That was the Heavenly Emperor's personal disciple, yet she was so afraid of this person?"

"Unless a Sage arrived in person, who else could have such a deterrent force?"

"It is truly unimaginable!"

After He Pingsheng left, the crowd immediately began to discuss.

At this time, a female immortal said: "Have you ever thought that this person is very likely... that one!"

Someone asked: "Which one?"

The female immortal said: "Have you forgotten? Legend has it that over five hundred thousand years ago, that person went to the Nine Woods Immortal Region and took eight orders of Creation Dao, causing the divine tree to wither, and there has been no Heavenly Pure Sand in the world since then!"

"And he just happens to have Heavenly Pure Sand!"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." Someone's voice trembled with excitement: "I know... it is him... it is definitely him, Senior... Senior... Senior He..."

He Pingsheng walked to the water's edge, and without any hesitation, dived in.

The seawater here did not feel special to him.

Nor was there any great pressure.

If Great Luo Golden Immortals could collect Ancient God Sand in it, let alone him?

Just as Bai Lianchen said, spiritual sense could not be used here.

Even He Pingsheng could not.

His spiritual sense could only circulate within his own body and could not enter the water.

This feeling was very unique, as if a mysterious power was clinging to him, preventing his spiritual sense from entering the seawater.

He Pingsheng could feel that this power preventing his spiritual sense from extending out was not the seawater; it had nothing to do with the seawater.

It was something hidden within the seawater.

"A bit interesting..." He Pingsheng frowned slightly: "This is a power that transcends the Primordial."
