Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Ling Yun, eager to know what was so terrifying about these four ancient magical artifacts.
Ling Yun nodded slightly and pointed to the array flags, saying:
"The array flag is a magic weapon for mass destruction. It has two great powers: one is to enhance the combat power of one's own side, and the other is a summoning spell that can summon an undead legion."
I suspect that when you destroyed the array's core, you accidentally triggered the array flags, causing the spirit to summon the undead legion from before.
After speaking, he pointed to three other magical artifacts:
"The Phoenix Furnace is the number one magic weapon of the Phoenix Clan, and also the number one fire-type magic weapon in all the heavens and myriad realms. The nine phoenixes on it are not fake, but are actually refined from the bodies of real phoenixes."
The Phoenix Furnace is said to be able to incinerate everything in the world.
The Spirit-Locking Mirror is the ancestor of all mirror artifacts. Anyone exposed to it will have their spiritual power locked away, resulting in a sharp reduction in strength. If the opponent is below one's own level, they can be directly absorbed into the mirror and refined.
The Chaos Axe is even stronger; it's the legendary Pangu Axe, capable of unleashing chaotic power, unaffected by the chaotic mists.
After hearing this, everyone was speechless with shock. Each of the four magical artifacts was astonishing and terrifying.
Even powerful beings at the Celestial King level cannot resist it.
Ancient magical artifacts are already rare, and the discovery of four of them on the Golden Cloud Continent is truly astonishing and unbelievable.
At this moment, Dongfang Ling, the president of the Yuanbao Chamber of Commerce, tentatively asked:
"Fellow Daoist Ling, can my Yuanbao Merchant Guild take the Spirit Locking Mirror with us? We're willing to pay for it!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun waved his hand and laughed:
"These were discovered by everyone, so there's no reason for us to keep them all to ourselves."
"Alright then, give the Yuanbao Merchant Guild 40,000 demon cores and a Spirit-Locking Mirror!"
"Fellow Daoist Ling, you're too kind!" Dongfang Ling's composed expression turned into uncontrollable joy.
Immediately, Ling Yun extracted 40,000 demon cores, removed the blood scabs from them, erased the violent demon beast will, preserved the gentle energy, and activated the Spirit Locking Mirror.
Next, he gave the Phoenix Furnace to Yan Ruyu, the Array Flag to Xiao Yanran, and the Heaven-Opening Axe to the Golden Lion.
Then the 60,000 demon cores were distributed to the remaining people.
Having done all this, Dongfang Ling clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and said solemnly:
"Fellow Daoists, please come to the Yuanbao Chamber of Commerce headquarters as guests!"
Everyone nodded slightly, and followed Dongfang Lingji, Ziyue and the others to a secret realm located a million miles away.
This is the headquarters of the Yuanbao Chamber of Commerce, and only high-ranking members at the vice president level are qualified to enter this place.
The secret realm where the headquarters is located consists of forty-nine mountain peaks forming a super array, which is both offensive and defensive.
Each mountain peak represents the headquarters of a different department.
The area is rich in spiritual energy, and the scenery is like a fairyland.
Dongfang Ling led Ling Yun and his group to the highest mountain peak, which was the Grand Master's training ground.
Upon arriving at the dojo, Dongfang Ling invited everyone to sit down in the main hall and said with a smile:
"Welcome, dear friends, to the headquarters of Yuanbao Chamber of Commerce. I know you are all interested in food, so I have prepared some unique delicacies for you."
This cuisine was reserved only for envoys to the Great World Expedition.
Upon hearing this, A Bao and the others immediately became interested.
The little white fox Lingxi asked in a crisp voice:
"Uncle President, may I ask what kind of delicacy this is?"
Dongfang Ling laughed:
"The Feast of a Hundred Realms!"
Seeing the expectant looks on everyone's faces, Dongfang Ling began to explain:
"The so-called Hundred Domains Feast is a collection of the most famous delicacies from hundreds of nearby star domains gathered by the Yuanbao Merchant Guild."
Preparing for a Hundred Domains Banquet requires three years in advance.
We began preparing from the moment Fellow Daoist Ling participated in the Zhao Kingdom Yuanbao Merchants' Auction, anticipating that you fellow Daoists would pass by the headquarters at this time.
The most famous delicacies from hundreds of star regions really piqued the interest of Ling Yun and his group.
"Hehe~ Without further ado, let's prepare to enjoy the Hundred Domains Feast!"
Dongfang Ling clapped his hands, and one dish after another began to be brought to the banquet hall next door.
He led Ling Yun and his group to their seats.
Looking at the hundred dishes, everyone's eyes lit up with joy; the aroma alone was enough to make their mouths water.
Ling Shan raised her little paw and said in a crisp voice:
"I'll be here to try the dishes!"
Dongfang Ling was about to say that there was no need to taste the dishes, but seeing Ling Shan's serious expression, he didn't say anything.
Soon, Ling Shan had tried all one hundred dishes and was so engrossed that she was speechless.
Seeing her like this, everyone immediately picked up their chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
"Not bad, not bad, this tiger bone stew with horse meat is excellent!"
"Hehe~ That's a famous dish from the Flame Star Domain: White Tiger Bone Stewed with Pegasus Meat. It's made with purebred White Tigers and Pegasus!"
"This is good too, the meat wrapped in sugar is delicious!"
"That's a famous dish from the Meteor Star Region: Heavenly Demon Spider Silk Wrapped Heavenly Dragon Meat!"
"..."
Everyone ate and asked questions, while Dongfang Ling ate and explained, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
After finishing the Hundred Domains Banquet, everyone moved to Dongfang Ling's tea room.
He personally brewed tea for everyone.
"This is the favorite tea of the Grand Master of the Yuanbao Chamber of Commerce in the Yanming Star Region. Please have a taste!"
The Golden Cloud Continent and its affiliated Great Worlds both belong to the Yanming Star Region.
Everyone took a sip of the spiritual tea and instantly felt the vibrant spiritual energy and aroma; the taste was excellent.
After refilling everyone's spiritual tea, the smile on Dongfang Ling's face gradually disappeared. He closed off the surroundings and spoke in a deep voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the great calamity of the Golden Cloud Continent is about to begin!"
Upon hearing this, a look of seriousness flashed across everyone's eyes, and they listened attentively without speaking.
Dongfang Ling continued speaking:
"Alas~ The Golden Cloud Continent is actually a vegetable garden, and all living beings are leeks, leeks raised by a powerful race."
Every 100,000 years, a great calamity will occur. Once the calamity arrives, the divine chains of order will descend, taking away cultivators above the Golden Core realm and turning them into nourishment.
Even if they ascend to heaven, they will fall into their hands.
Since the beginning of life on the Golden Cloud Continent, there has only been one time when no great calamity occurred, which was 100,000 years ago. On that occasion, a powerful human being possessed by a black dragon carried out a massacre of the demon race on the Golden Cloud Continent just as the great calamity was about to arrive.
It was also because of the fear of the black dragon that a great calamity was spared that time.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious. Abao asked:
"Does the Guild Master know which race launched this great calamity? Why did they launch it?"
Dongfang Lingdao:
"According to the intelligence I have, they are the Netherworld Clan. They are the first inhabitants of the Golden Cloud Continent and are born with Netherworld divine power."
After they became powerful, they treated the Golden Cloud Continent as their backyard, reaping the lives of living beings.
The goal should be to resurrect some powerful being.
As for who that being is? I don't know either; I won't know until I ascend to immortality.
After listening, the Golden Lion slammed his fist on the table and roared:
"Such behavior is outrageous; they treat living beings like weeds to be harvested."
As the representative of Buddha, I, the Golden Lion, have a duty to guide the Netherworld beings!
*Snap*
The Great Sage slapped the Golden Lion on the head.
"The Golden Cloud Continent has existed for so many years, yet it has failed to eliminate the Netherworld Clan. There must be an unimaginable force behind them. You cannot convert them!"
