The headquarters of the Phoenix Sect is located in the west of the center of Shenhuang City, and the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce is located in the middle.
The headquarters of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce is dozens of miles long and wide, and its scale is comparable to that of a small city. If you don't see it with your own eyes, no one will believe that this is just the headquarters of a chamber of commerce.
The Black Moon Chamber of Commerce is eight stories high, and the height of each floor is amazing. Although there are only eight floors, the height of each floor is astonishing. At the highest point, a huge black crescent moon rises into the sky. You can see it clearly from any corner of this huge Shenhuang City. The huge square in front of the Chamber of Commerce is still crowded with people. Every day, countless mysterious people try to enter it, but only one in ten can succeed. Those who can enter can only enter the first two floors. &novel nbsp;A young man with a long black body, a cold face, and an unremarkable appearance came to the seven-colored jade platform in the center of the Black Moon Square. He raised his head and looked at the tall building in front of him that was soaring into the sky and reflecting the pure jade brilliance. Although this is just a chamber of commerce, every brick and tile is much more luxurious than the Cangfeng Royal Family. Above the huge black moon at the top, a magnificent and magnificent momentum enveloped it, and when people looked up, they almost had the urge to worship it.
"It has a history longer than that of the Phoenix Divine Sect, and a foundation so strong that it is impossible to fathom... I hope I won't be disappointed." The young man muttered to himself in a low voice, and walked towards one of the profound formations in front of the jade platform. When he approached, purple light shone from his body, and then, under the astonished gaze of the people around him, he directly entered the profound formation.
Each time one enters the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, one needs to bombard the Jade Platform once to gain entry qualification. However, the seventh floor is different from the first six floors. Once one is qualified to enter, the Transmission Profound Array will remember one's aura, and one can enter directly thereafter... unless the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce erases the mark of one's aura.
Because compared to the first six floors, the seventh floor is a completely different world. Those who can enter the seventh floor and those who cannot enter the seventh floor are people from two different worlds for the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce.
The mysterious light dissipated, Yun Che opened his eyes and looked forward. What appeared before his eyes was an endless garden. The emerald green was dotted with various colorful exotic flowers and plants, and there were tall trees standing tall. Streams crisscrossed the garden, bringing with them the sound of gurgling water. It was hard to believe that he had entered the interior of a chamber of commerce, but had suddenly walked into a fairyland.
Three beautiful girls in different dresses came in front of him. They saluted gracefully and said, "Welcome Mr. Yun to the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Zi is waiting for you personally. Please follow me."
Yun Che was in a disguise at this time, and he was not surprised to hear the three girls address him. After all, the teleportation formation could obviously remember the breath of the person who entered. He wiped his face, revealing his true face, and smiled, "Then I'll trouble you three sisters."
The three girls smiled sweetly and led Yun Che through a large area of green forests and flowers, and even a group of small hills, and arrived in front of the elegant courtyard where they had been before. It was still under the long pavilion, and there sat an old man with a gentle and smiling face in purple.
"You're here." Zi Ji stood up slowly, and looked at the young man in front of him with eyes as calm as water. He nodded slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "I haven't seen you for three years, and your demeanor is more than ten times better than before... Alas, the young are really to be feared."
“Junior Yun Che, nice to meet Senior Zi. Senior, thank you for your compliment.” Yun Che took a step forward and raised his hand in greeting.
“Haha, please sit down.” Zi Ji extended his hand to the person opposite him, and then sat down at the same time as Yun Che: “Qing Chen, go and make another pot of tea. I want the ‘Drunken Red Dust’ that was picked this morning.”
“Yes.” The girl in the green dress bowed gracefully and floated away. The other two girls stood on both sides of Yun Che, their heads slightly lowered, their lips smiling, their postures respectful, as if they were letting Yun Che send them.
“Senior Zi seemed to have expected me to come.” Yun Che said with a smile. Before he came here, he was sure that the Black Moon Merchant Guild must have known that he had returned alive… If they didn’t know, he would be disappointed.
“I expected you to come, but I didn’t think it would be so soon.” Zi Ji smiled faintly. Compared to three years ago, the way he looked at Yun Che was very different: “According to the information I have obtained, you were still in Floating Cloud City an hour ago. Now, you have appeared in front of me.”
The intelligence network of the Black Moon Merchant Guild was indeed amazing, with its tentacles reaching as far as Floating Cloud City... Of course, it could also be because the Divine Phoenix Army was stationed there. Floating Cloud City and Divine Phoenix City were extremely far apart. At first, he had set out from the relatively close Blue Wind Imperial City, traveling day and night, and it took him more than ten days. But in just one hour, he was able to get from Floating Cloud City to Divine Phoenix City... This was indeed too shocking, and even the most powerful Xuanzhou in the Profound Sky Continent could never do it.
Yun Che naturally would not have failed to think of this, but he did not think of explaining it. Just as he was about to laugh it off, he heard Zi Ji say in a tone of great admiration, “If it had been anyone else, I would have been so frightened that I would have lost my mind and suspected I had seen a ghost. But Master, you are the old man who dominated the universe ten thousand years ago. It is easy for you to travel through the space of the Primordial Profound Ark. With your magical power of covering the sky, the distance of 100,000 miles between Floating Cloud City and here is just a snap of a finger.”
Duotian... old man? Master?
What the hell!?
A hint of surprise flashed across the depths of Yun Che’s eyes, and this hint of surprise fell into Zi Ji’s eyes and was naturally interpreted as another meaning. He smiled and said, “You don’t have to be surprised. It’s not that my Black Moon Merchant Guild is so powerful that it can detect the existence of the master, but that the Sun Moon Divine Palace did not keep the encounter with the master in the Ice and Snow Region a secret. Now, the Imperial Holy Land, the Supreme Ocean Palace, and the Heavenly Mighty Sword Region have also known about it.”
"Although 'Old Man Duotian' has disappeared for ten thousand years, the four holy places all started ten thousand years ago, and the memory of the ancestors has been passed down from generation to generation and has never been lost, so there are still people in the world who know the name of the master. But no one could have imagined that the master of the Xuan Realm who was invincible in the world ten thousand years ago did not break through the void and ascend to a higher level world as rumored, but has always existed in the Tianxuan Continent, looking down on the vast number of living beings. I heard that the master has created a world of his own and set fire to the emperor. I am afraid that those of us who are so-called powerful people in the world are all ants in the eyes of the master."
There was no temptation or falsehood in Zi Ji's voice and expression, only deep respect, fear and amazement for the strong. Yun Che listened to him calmly, but his heart was confused...
What is... happening?
Could it be that... there really was a person called "Duotian" in the past? Or was he an ancient super BSS-level figure?
Judging from Zi Ji's expression... this unexpected "coincidence" not only did not cause any flaws, but instead further confirmed the existence of his "powerful master"! ?
“My dear teacher has not asked about the affairs of the mortal world for many years, and never wants anyone to mention it. I hope Senior Zi will forgive me.” Yun Che smiled calmly, but he was thinking in his heart: I know nothing about this “Old Man Duo Tian”. If I start talking about him, I might reveal my flaws... It seems that I need to find a way to understand the guy called “Old Man Duo Tian” ten thousand years ago.
"I have nothing but respect for my master and have no intention of probing into his thoughts." Zi Ji said sincerely.
The young girl in green clothes named “Qingchen” slowly walked over, holding a freshly brewed tea in her hand. Before she even got close, a scent of tea that was so refreshing that it made Yun Che take a sip involuntarily, and said, “Speaking of which, I was quite lucky to have visited you twice, both times when Senior Zi was free. With the reputation of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, Senior Zi must be extremely busy on weekdays.”
“Hehe,” Zi Ji smiled and shook his head, “Not really. I have been here for over a hundred years, and I have never been busy. There are countless talented people in the Profound Sky Continent, but only one in a million is qualified to enter the seventh floor. On average, there is only one distinguished guest per month, and the rest of the time is free.”
“One month?” Yun Che showed a look of surprise, and then said: “Senior Zi’s profound strength is unfathomable, and his knowledge is so broad that no one can match him. Even if he goes to the Four Sacred Grounds, he will definitely have an extremely high status. If it is as Senior Zi said… then wouldn’t it be a serious waste of your abilities? And this seventh floor is clearly an empty building, but it is vast and boundless, like a fairyland. The cost alone is estimated to be far greater than the imperial city of any of the six countries, but it is only used to entertain guests once a month?”
“Not really.” Zi Ji smiled slightly. He took the teapot from the green-clothed girl and personally filled the teacup in front of Yun Che. “The Black Moon Merchant Guild has been able to survive for thousands of years and prosper for a long time. It has its own mature way of survival. The number of guests on this seventh floor is not even one-tenth of the first six floors, but the cost of building this floor and the annual maintenance cost are more than a hundred times more than the first six floors combined. That’s because… those who can enter the first six floors are honored guests of our Black Moon Merchant Guild, and those who are qualified to enter here… are the lifeblood of our Black Moon Merchant Guild!”
"I believe that with your talent and intelligence, you will be able to understand what I am saying." Zi Ji smiled peacefully.
Yun Che closed his eyes slightly, and after a brief pause, he opened his eyes and nodded slowly: “I see. I have always considered myself to be quite knowledgeable, but after coming to such a fairyland twice, and having a peerless master like Senior Zi personally receive me, I feel quite flattered. So, every time I come here, it is a kind of gratitude, and the only one who can make almost all the supreme masters and forces in this Profound Sky Continent express gratitude is probably your Black Moon Merchant Guild.”
"Haha, have some tea." Zi Ji raised his hand and smiled, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked savoring the taste.
Yun Che picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. He shook the teacup and said with a smile, “Senior Zi’s tea must be the best in the world. It’s just that I don’t know how to taste tea, so I’m wasting it.”
"No matter how good the tea is, it's a blessing to have passed through your hands, even if you spill it. How can it be a waste of God's gift?" Zi Ji said with a smile.
"I am not worthy of such praise from you, senior." Yun Che said with a smile. He had come to Shenhuang City with a murderous aura, but after less than half an hour, his heart was already peaceful and clear. The Zi Ji in front of him had a peaceful and simple aura, like a well that had been still for thousands of years...
"If you are not worthy, I am afraid that no one in Tianxuan Continent can be worthy of it." Zi Ji's tone remained the same, but he turned to the other person and asked abruptly: "What are you going to do to the Phoenix Sect this time you come?"
Yun Che narrowed his eyes slightly, and a murderous aura instantly spread throughout his body. The murderous intent gathered in his pupils was also presented in front of Zi Ji without any cover: "Senior, what do you think I should do?"
The surrounding space suddenly became eerie without any warning, causing the three girls beside him to shiver at the same time. Zi Ji still had a peaceful smile on his face, and his expression did not change at all because of Yun Che's aura: "I will just wait and see the result."
"So what do you think the result will be?"
Zi Ji shook his head slowly: "It is unpredictable. When I first met you three years ago, I was surprised by your talent and your aura and cunningness that far exceeded your age. But until you left, I always believed that if you went to the Divine Phoenix Sect, there would be more than a 90% chance that you would be buried there. For the remaining 10%, even if you can keep your life, it will never be as you wish. Because I know the Divine Phoenix Sect much better than I know you."
"Since I have stayed here for a hundred years, all the people I have seen are outstanding people. I believe that I have never made a mistake in judging people or things. However, in your case, I never guessed the outcome. A young man less than twenty years old, with the profound power of the Earth Profound Realm, defeated the Divine Phoenix Sect in its territory, but was unable to fight back. Over the years, you are the only person that I have completely misjudged."
"The Phoenix Sect has stood for five thousand years, and its foundation is so profound that even the Four Sacred Grounds cannot fathom it. Although you are now much stronger than you were three years ago, if you do not rely on the ability of your master and confront him head-on with your own strength... If I had met you for the first time, the only thing I could think of was 'hitting a rock with an egg'. But now..." Zi Ji shook his head slowly, as if mocking himself, "I dare not make any rash assertions. You and I are only three feet apart, but it seems like we are thousands of feet apart. Haha, I can't see through you at all."
The girls standing on both sides of Yun Che opened their pink lips at the same time, trying to keep their sweet smiles but unable to hide their deep surprise. They knew Mr. Zi's status best, and it was the first time they heard him say such words... and to someone so young.
“Hmph, the Phoenix Divine Sect is just a mere sect. They are not qualified to have my master take action.” Yun Che’s eyebrows knitted together, and his voice was filled with murderous intent: “I will not do anything to them. I just want to get back the debt they owe me… at least tenfold!”
“Speaking of which…” Yun Che suddenly changed the subject: “I heard that three years ago, after the Primordial Profound Ark disappeared, the Phoenix God of the Divine Phoenix Sect appeared?”
Three years ago, the Phoenix God appeared. This had happened in the memories of Ye Ziyi of the Sun Moon Temple, and also in the memories of Feng Huwei... He even saw it with his own eyes! Not only did the Phoenix God appear, but his overwhelming power and pressure made everyone in the four sacred places silent, and he even punished Ye Xinghan mercilessly in public.
But... the Phoenix God should have disappeared!
"That's right." Zi Ji nodded slightly. "Three years ago, there were rumors that the Phoenix God had reached the end of his life and had disappeared. Later, it was learned that due to the disappearance of the Phoenix God, the Phoenix Divine Sect lost its biggest backer. Once exposed, it might face a catastrophe. So the Phoenix Divine Sect's Great Elder Feng Feiyan secretly surrendered to the Sun Moon Divine Palace and informed them of the Phoenix God's death. However, the Phoenix God descended three years ago, and everyone in Shenhuang City saw it with their own eyes, which proved that its 'disappearance' was just a test. The one who tested it was naturally someone with ulterior motives like Feng Feiyan."
“So that’s how it is.” Yun Che frowned slightly, his heart still full of doubts. Feng Xue’er told him that the Phoenix God had passed away. With Feng Xue’er’s heart, it was absolutely impossible for her to lie. Moreover, Feng Xue’er had inherited all of the Phoenix God’s source power, soul power, and even memories… In this case, how could the Phoenix God still be alive!
"Don't doubt it, the Phoenix God Spirit has already died." Jasmine said suddenly.
Yun Che was stunned: “The one who appeared three years ago…”
“Humph, it’s just a soul fragment with a little bit of source power.” Jasmine said calmly: “Leaving behind a soul fragment with power is something that mortals cannot do, nor would they think of. However, the Phoenix Spirit is a separated body of the Phoenix Soul, so it is easy to do! After it passed on all its soul power and source power to Feng Xue’er, it probably separated a small part of it to prevent the emergence of people like Feng Feiyan, and attached it to Feng Xue’er’s body. However, this separated soul fragment cannot exist for a long time, and it should be completely dispersed now. If it is still alive... it is impossible!”
“…I see.” Yun Che roughly understood.
“Mr. Zi, in the past three years, Princess Snow of the Divine Phoenix Sect… do you have any news about her?” Yun Che asked.
Zi Ji looked at Yun Che deeply, his eyes carrying an inexplicable deep meaning, and then he smiled faintly and said, “Three years ago, after leaving the Primordial Profound Ark and before the Phoenix God appeared, Princess Xue fell into a coma… Since then, she has been in a coma for three whole years, and she cannot be awakened no matter what.”
“What?” Yun Che’s expression suddenly changed: “Three years of coma? Three whole years?”
"That's right. If the information I received is correct, Princess Snow didn't wake up until the day before yesterday."
"..." Yun Che's heart immediately rippled. In Feng Huwei's memory, he did not find anything about Feng Xue'er in the past three years. In the past two days, he had been thinking and wondering, with Feng Xue'er's heart and her pure love for him, if the Divine Phoenix Country invaded the Blue Wind Country, she would definitely stop it! And Feng Hengkong loved her very much, and obeyed her in every way... The Blue Wind Country should not fall into such a miserable situation.
It turns out...she has been in a coma for three whole years.
Yun Che took a deep breath and asked, “Then Mr. Zi, do you know why Princess Xue suddenly fell into a coma for so long? It shouldn’t be because of an injury, right?”
"I'm just guessing about this." Zi Ji said slowly, "After Princess Snow fell into a coma, her whole body was surrounded by red flames that lasted for a long time. No one could get close to her within three meters. The place where she slept for three years was taken to by the Phoenix God who appeared three years ago. Therefore, it should be that the Phoenix God was tempering her body with Phoenix flames, or giving her stronger Phoenix flame power to help her achieve the realm of Emperor from a half-step Emperor... That's roughly it. Now that Princess Snow has woken up, if you are worried, you can go and ask her in person, hehe."
Zi Ji smiled very meaningfully.
It was no wonder that the reason why Yun Che was "buried" in the Primordial Profound Ark was known to almost everyone in the Profound Sky Continent. How could Zi Ji not know about it? As a core figure in the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, he would know more than others.
