Qin Feng did not deny Shang Ziming's question; he was indeed very interested in knowing what role Jubaoge played.
He was filled with gratitude towards Shang Ziming, who might have some favor to ask of him.
However, the other party stood firmly on his side time and time again, even in front of the Golden Immortal, which showed their sincerity and moved him deeply.
He also believed that Shang Ziming had no ill intentions towards him, but it was better to clarify some things.
Qin Feng said tactfully, "Brother Shang, don't be angry. I just want to understand some things."
Shang Ziming wasn't angry and waved his hand dismissively.
“I understand Brother Qin’s concerns. He’s afraid that if he drives away one Dark Palace, another one will come. No one wants to see their land being occupied.”
Don't worry, brother. My Treasure Pavilion is different from the Dark Palace. They're after control of the Heavenly Desolate Continent, while we're just businessmen.
Qin Feng felt slightly relieved and nodded.
"That makes sense. Brother Shang's style of doing things is quite different from these people. He is familiar with them but also distant. They must not be the same kind of people."
Qin Feng paused briefly, then couldn't help but ask:
"Is Big Brother not from the Heavenly Desolate Continent, but from the Immortal Realm like the Dark Palace?"
Shang Ziming smiled. "It seems you're quite interested in my identity, brother. Very well, since we're brothers, I'll tell you."
Manager Qian hesitated, "Young Master, this!"
Shang Ziming waved his hand, "I, Shang Ziming, am upright and honest. I haven't done anything shameful, so there's nothing I can't say."
Seeing that he had made a decision, Manager Qian said no more.
Shang Ziming looked up at the sky, his gaze filled with reminiscence and profound depth, and said slowly and deliberately:
“Brother is right. I am not from the Heavenly Desolate Continent; I do come from the Immortal Realm.”
Qin Feng was not surprised when he heard this.
Shang Ziming's various behaviors, the attitudes of others, and the unfathomable nature of Manager Qian all indicate that Shang Ziming is not a simple person.
Qin Feng still remembered when facing the sword immortal Yuan Hong, Shang Ziming shouted, "I am the son of Shang Yang of the Far Voyage Chamber of Commerce."
It is clear that Shang Ziming's background is not simple.
Leng Yuexi, Bing Luan, and Ao Ling, who were standing beside Qin Feng, looked at this person from beyond the Heavenly Wasteland with great surprise.
Especially Bingluan and Aoling, their eyes sparkled with curiosity.
Then Shang Ziming continued:
"I am a merchant from the Black Rope Immortal Realm. I was exiled here more than ten years ago for making a mistake."
Oh, by the way, my business, the Far Voyage Chamber of Commerce, is also primarily a business, so we have dealings with the Black Fiend Immortal Palace.
Qin Feng frowned upon hearing this; Shang Ziming's words revealed a lot of information.
Black Rope Immortal Realm, Merchants, Far Voyage Chamber of Commerce, Black Fiend Immortal Palace.
He exhaled a soft breath and asked, "Brother Shang, could you tell me about this Immortal Realm?"
Shang Ziming nodded and smiled calmly.
"Of course. The Immortal Realm is very large, and I don't know much about it. I haven't even left the Black Rope Immortal Domain yet. Let Elder Qian explain it to me; he'll know more."
Qin Feng and the others couldn't help but turn their gazes to Manager Qian.
Shopkeeper Qian was still in shock at Qin Feng's performance when he heard Shang Ziming's words and picked up the conversation.
"I am ashamed to say that the Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, and my knowledge of it is also very limited."
Aside from the Black Rope Immortal Realm where the merchants are located, I've only been to the Nine Nether Immortal Realm and the Primordial Nether Immortal Realm, and even then, I only went to the border areas.
Qin Feng was undoubtedly shocked upon hearing this. From the words of Shang Ziming and Manager Qian, it was clear that the Immortal Realm was incredibly vast.
Seeing Qin Feng and the others' reactions, Manager Qian took the initiative to explain:
"The Immortal Realm is truly vast. Compared to the Heavenly Desolate Continent, it is like a grain of sand in a vast desert."
While that might be an exaggeration, the Black Rope Immortal Realm alone is many times larger than the Heavenly Desolate Continent.
Qin Feng and his companions clicked their tongues in amazement upon hearing this; the Immortal Realm had left them with the impression of being vast.
Qin Feng steered the conversation back on track.
"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Manager Qian. I just heard Brother Shang mention the Black Fiend Immortal Palace. Is that the name of the Dark Palace in the Immortal Realm?"
Shang Ziming explained:
"That's not wrong, but to be precise, the Black Fiend Immortal Palace is the real controller, and the Dark Palace is just a small member under its command."
There are many other forces like the Dark Palace, scattered across different lower realm continents.
Qin Feng frowned upon hearing this.
Shang Ziming paused, then solemnly reminded him:
"This time, Brother Qin killed all the people of the Dark Palace. Once the people of the Black Fiend Immortal Palace find out, they will definitely not let it go."
They'll definitely send people to cause trouble for you, little brother; the Heavenly Wasteland Continent will be thrown into turmoil once again.
However, Shang Ziming thought of Qin Feng's valor in his battle against the Golden Immortal Yuan Hong, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, I believe that with Brother Qin's strength, he is not afraid of them."
Qin Feng had expected this. Since the other party could come once, it was not surprising that they could come a second time.
However, he was very curious about these people's purpose, so he asked:
"Since the Black Fiend Immortal Palace is called an Immortal Palace, its lowest cultivation level must be that of an Immortal. What is their purpose in going to such lengths to do these things?"
Shang Ziming sighed and explained:
"Brother, you may not know this, but whether it's the lower realm or the immortal realm, everything depends on talent and resources."
The Black Fiend Immortal Palace is considered a decent force in the Black Rope Immortal Realm, and they also need to replenish their ranks with talent.
Unable to do as they pleased in the celestial realm, they extended their demonic reach to the mortal world.
Immortals who ascend from the mortal realm often possess more resilience than those born in the celestial realm, as the trials and tribulations involved in becoming an immortal in the mortal world are far greater and more difficult.
Qin Feng felt that this reason was reasonable, but not sufficient.
Then Manager Qian added:
"Young Master only mentioned one aspect, but there's something even darker: they'll be used as food for these people to enjoy."
Qin Feng had suspected it before, but he still found it hard to accept; he strongly resisted the act of cannibalism.
At the same time, he was very puzzled, "Is this a hobby or is there some other purpose?"
Manager Qian looked at Qin Feng with admiration.
"Of course there are other purposes. The path of the Dao is extremely difficult, and even ascending to immortality is just a new starting point."
Advancing to the Golden Immortal realm is not easy; many people are stuck at this level, including myself.
Qin Feng looked at Manager Qian with surprise, "May I ask what your cultivation level is, senior?"
Manager Qian sighed.
"I am ashamed to say that I am only at the Celestial Immortal Realm. Otherwise, I could have helped you in your battle against the Yuan family patriarch Yuan Hong. Fortunately, you have extraordinary abilities and you resolved the situation on your own."
Qin Feng naturally wouldn't reveal his trump card; he simply made up a reason.
"Thank you for your help, senior and Brother Shang. I was just lucky to get a talisman, otherwise I would probably have been doomed this time."
Shang Ziming and Manager Qian exchanged a glance. They were both smart enough not to test Qin Feng's sincerity.
Leng Yuexi looked at Qin Feng with a faint smile.
Ao Ling and Bing Luan were somewhat suspicious.
Qin Feng knew nothing about the realms beyond the Great Emperor level, so he continued to ask for guidance.
What realm follows the Emperor Realm?
