At the top of a thousand-foot-tall stone tower in the center of the land, Pei Tianlan, who was practicing, opened his eyes.
The green lotus in the eyes slowly rotated, and the five elements rules converged into two lines in the eyes, as if to penetrate the deep void.
He slowly stood up and walked to the window, looking around the land. The monks setting up stalls and walking around came into view.
He did not even let go of the foundation-building cultivators, and identified them one by one.
The Void Market is hidden within the space. Normally, even Jindan cultivators would avoid it. However, the mysteries of heaven and earth are unpredictable, and the Jindan and foundation-building youngsters present were trapped in it without any preparation.
After a brief trial, these monks quickly adapted to the environment and began to exchange goods one by one.
Pei Tianlan could see through every youngster that came into his sight, no matter their realm, or any hidden spiritual objects, residual souls, etc.
The green lotus in his pupils slowly rotated, allowing him to take in the surrounding scene.
Pei Tianlan could sense that there were cultivators of his kind coming, but the will of heaven and earth was so powerful that even though he was a cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, he could not determine the location of those cultivators of his kind.
At the top of the sky in this space, brilliant colorful clouds covered the entire sky. Ordinary cultivators all found it mysterious. However, in Pei Tianlan's perception, a majestic and boundless will gathered above him, enveloping him and isolating him from any thoughts that he wanted to spy on.
The blue lotus that turned into the pupil when the eyes opened and closed had six petals each. This was the sixth-grade immortal lotus of merit, corresponding to the category of the acquired middle-grade golden body of merit.
However, between the six slowly rotating lotus petals, a hazy green light gathered, as if new lotus petals were about to emerge.
This situation has been going on for one thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight years, and Pei Tianlan can even remember the month, day and time accurately.
For nearly 1,800 years, the seventh, eighth, and ninth lotus petals could never be born, no matter how hard he tried.
If the time is not right, no matter how hard you work, it will be useless.
The improvement of the lotus of merit is not one petal at a time, three petals will be born directly each time.
The first time is the third-grade lotus, corresponding to the lower-grade golden body. The sixth lotus corresponds to the middle-grade golden body. Once it advances to the ninth-grade lotus, it will be the upper-grade golden body.
The corresponding realm of cultivating immortals is the level of refining emptiness.
However, the Merit Lotus is somewhat different from the realm of immortal cultivation. It can be regarded as a talisman. The ninth-grade lotus is at least comparable to the sixth-grade lower-grade defensive spiritual treasure.
Moreover, the magical uses of the Merit Lotus are not just for defense, it also has many other mysteries that cannot be told to outsiders.
The will floating above the unknown is supreme and powerful. Pei Tianlan has tried to communicate with it many times, but unfortunately he could not get a response and could only passively accept the will that descended.
But what he can be sure of is that no matter how many cultivators are chosen by the Order of Heaven and Earth, only one can stand out in the end.
This is to let them fight.
For a moment, Pei Tianlan's eyes became more profound.
…
"Shit, I'm not the most beloved cub of heaven and earth."
Inside the Jade Spirit Tree, Shen Lian scratched his head.
Even though he was held in Fu Yunfei's hand, the will of heaven and earth still enveloped him without any hindrance.
Moreover, he sensed a cub who was also favored by heaven and earth like him.
However, I could only vaguely sense the existence of such a guy, but his specific location and identity were vague and could not be sensed clearly.
The order of heaven and earth intentionally hid the two of them, but deliberately let the other party know about the existence of such a person.
Shen Lian thought that he was the most beloved child of heaven and earth, but he didn't expect that heaven and earth had so many children.
Come to think of it, when he was in the wilderness, there were quite a lot of puppets that were governed by the order of heaven and earth, but those order puppets were not as free as he was.
After a little thought, he understood that this principle was very simple. In the words of the secular world, all eggs should not be put in one basket.
The order of heaven and earth is trying to save itself, and he is just one of the candidates chosen by the order of heaven and earth.
If you do a good job, you may be promoted to a regular employee.
If you don't do it well, you will die on the way.
What does it mean to let him know now that there are other monks with the power of merit?
Shen Lian murmured, could it be that he was singled out because he had done nothing in the past few hundred years? The order of heaven and earth meant that he was going to be rolled up.
I feel so sad.
A sense of crisis suddenly arose in Shen Lian's heart. This time, the order of heaven and earth gave him a warning.
It’s fine to use the power of merit to do things, but you can’t keep doing it blindly.
If you want to continue to gain support, you must demonstrate your value.
"Fuck, I fell for your trick."
After thinking it over, Shen Lian felt that he was on a pirate ship.
If you had told me earlier that there were other cubs, he would have definitely considered it carefully when re-refining the Dzi Beads.
But think about it, even if he knew it before, he probably wouldn't change his mind.
Everything in the world has its own laws. The Bu Tianzhu let the order of heaven and earth take the blame, preventing some cultivators from divination and deduction, thus saving a lot of trouble.
He just wants to take advantage without working, which is really heartless.
Shen Lian realized that the will of heaven and earth was coming, and they were in a competitive relationship. If they wanted to gain more support from the order of heaven and earth, they had to demonstrate their due value.
What happened in the Wilderness was an entry-level assessment, and Shen Lian passed it.
Therefore, he is now an advanced candidate and can compete with other cultivators who have passed the assessment for more support from the order of heaven and earth.
While Shen Lian was feeling depressed, Fu Yunfei had already entered the land. These foundation-building cultivators on the periphery were nothing to look at.
The exchange meeting for the incarnation level is at the thousand-foot stone tower in the center of this land.
When Fu Yunfei arrived at the stone tower, Shen Lian suddenly felt that the aura of the will of heaven and earth that was floating around his body was gone.
The feeling of being like-minded just now also disappeared.
But he also understood that this person should also be in the Void Market, and his strength should not be low.
As for who it is, we can only guess.
The brief glimpse of the order of heaven and earth gave him a sense of oppression. As long as he didn't fly out and self-destruct stupidly, no one would notice him.
…
The power behind the Void Market is the Ascension Tower, a major force in the world of immortal cultivation.
At that time, the way to ascension in the world of immortals was cut off, and a broken stone tower fell from the sky, causing the gods to fight each other, wanting to use the stone tower to ascend to the upper world again, but no one succeeded in the end.
The monks who finally got the stone tower formed the powerful force called "Ascension Tower" and passed it down.
This stone tower standing in the center of the continent is not the legendary Ascension Tower, but just a replica.
Although it is a replica, its grade is still as high as the fifth-level mid-grade, and it is called Qianxing Tower.
The surface of the thousand-foot stone tower is covered with various marks, as if it had been impacted by countless spiritual treasures. It exudes an ancient atmosphere and at first glance, it is no different from the stone towers in the mortal world.
When approaching the Ascension Tower, Shen Lian was so obedient that he didn't even release the power of rules and just stayed tightly in Fu Yunfei's arms.
As for the thought before coming here that he could see if he could obtain any spiritual objects for cultivation, he had forgotten about it.
This time, I only have one goal: to watch quietly, leave peacefully, and not attract attention.
After all, there is another 'kindred spirit' nearby.
He only gained recognition from the order of heaven and earth several hundred years ago, but he couldn't guess when his 'kind' gained recognition.
What if it is an old guy who has lived for thousands of years, and with the support of the order of heaven and earth, his realm may be stronger than his, so he still needs to be on guard against him.
This is not to encourage others to do better. With the help of Bu Tianzhu, he is almost covering the entire world of immortal cultivation with the exchange platform. It is conceivable that his "kind" may have other means.
What if it was a member of a large force? Although he wanted to call him a scumbag, Shen Lian could empathize with him. It was too dangerous to prepare only one backup plan for such a big event. If it were him, he would not feel safe without dozens or even hundreds of backup plans.
At this time, you must survive.
Fu Yunfei did not enter the stone tower, but went straight up along the stone tower and disappeared into the gorgeous clouds.
Within the clouds, there is a realm suspended in the air, overlooking the land below.
But the scene in the sea of clouds cannot be seen below.
The mountain top is shrouded in clouds and mist, and small boats are sailing among the clouds.
There is a figure on every boat.
However, 90% of these figures were dressed up, and only a few maintained their original appearance, and they did not seem to care about revealing their information.
A small boat also emerged from under Fu Yunfei's feet, carrying her to the clouds. Since she was in the appearance of a demon wolf, she lay directly on the boat, looking around with her pair of green wolf eyes.
The trade fairs here are different from those outside. As long as you see someone alone in a boat, you can go up and communicate.
If both parties happen to have the spiritual objects they like, they can trade. If not, they can disperse and look for other monks.
Fu Yunfei came here this time to trade for the Three Thousand Tribulations Spirit Leaves. She obtained three spirit leaves during this ferry trip and was ready to exchange one for spiritual medicine related to cultivation.
Shen Lian stayed quietly in the valley. He didn't even want to look outside, for he was afraid that his 'kind' was a cultivator from the Ascension Tower.
…
Deep in the top of the cloud, mist was rising. Pei Tianlan was lying in the mist, and his eyes reflected the scene of the exchange of objects in the sea of clouds below.
This barter conference will last from several years to more than ten years. According to past experience, it will attract more than 80% of the gods in the world of immortal cultivation.
Currently, the number of Divine Transformation cultivators in the cloud has exceeded two hundred.
In Pei Tianlan's eyes, more than two-thirds of these incarnation cultivators carried a crabapple-shaped spiritual leaf on their backs and emitted a rotten smell.
After sensing the smell of decay, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Pei Tianlan's eyes.
"Friend Pei, you are very angry."
A cold voice sounded, and white mist swirled between the clouds, revealing a beautiful woman with upturned eyebrows.
Pei Tianlan restrained his murderous intent and turned into a kind old man.
"Master Di, you are here so fast."
The female cultivator looked towards the sea of clouds below, "Compared to the last time the Void Market was opened, there are more than a dozen more Divine Transformation cultivators. This is cause for celebration."
Pei Tianlan did not respond, but asked: "Master Di came here, is it because he is afraid that I will catch all the young people below?"
Master Di looked at Pei Tianlan, a serious look flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Master Pei, I'm really afraid that you will be unable to think straight and catch all these people in one fell swoop."
Pei Tianlan chuckled, "You really think highly of me. I'm just an old man, how can I have such ability? There are more than 200 Divine Transformation cultivators below me."
Master Di stopped talking. He flew several miles away and sat cross-legged in a cloud. He stood there quietly like a statue, and glanced at Pei Tianlan from time to time.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Pei Tianlan snorted coldly.
Owner Di didn't care about Pei Tianlan's cold eyes. It was a routine for her to come here.
Every time the first void market opens after the ferry, there will be a cultivator of her level coming to take charge and watch over the ascension tower to avoid any big noise.
This time it was just her turn in the Exiled Immortal Tower. There were three tower masters in the Exiled Immortal Tower. The tower master couldn't possibly come down from the mountain gate of the Three Heavens for such a small matter.
The third floor master's strength is only in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and he cannot withstand Pei Tianlan, who is in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, so she is the only one who can do it.
The last person who came to see Old Man Pei was a cultivator from the Medieval Clan behind Tongtian Pavilion.
The reason why they had to watch Pei Tianlan was mainly because the Ascension Tower controlled by Pei Tianlan was not the same as the forces they controlled.
Over the years, the overall strength of the Yunxiao Realm can be divided into two major parts, the Advent Faction and the Indigenous Faction.
The Advent Sect includes the Exiled Immortal Tower for selecting the five spiritual roots, the Tongtian Tower for preparing the reincarnation body, and the Burial Sea for digging spiritual veins while repairing the power of decay.
The indigenous factions include the Tower of Ascension, the Alliance of All Races, and the Path to Immortality.
The Alliance of Ten Thousand Races is somewhat in name only. Since each race has a seat in it, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races cannot centralize power and is just a loose force.
There is also a group of people who ran out and wanted to build a giant ascension ship. They are absolutely crazy and really think they can fly out of the turbid sea.
In the hands of the Ascension Tower is the Ascension Tower that descended from the sky. This magical treasure is of the same level as the magical treasure Heavenly Stars in the Exiled Immortal Tower.
As for the Seeking Immortality sect, this force is also in chaos internally, and their name is almost gone from the immortal cultivation world.
Nowadays, the only force that can still compete with the Exiled Immortal Tower and the Tongtian Tower is the Ascension Tower.
Compared with the decline of indigenous power, the power of the Adventists has developed well.
Over the years, several major forces have joined forces to control the core eighteen continents and have established a new resource cultivation system, which has been thriving.
Those gods carrying the Three Thousand Tribulations Spirit Leaves below are the new resource cultivation products of their descending faction, and are highly praised by the monks who practice the Yin-Yang rules in the immortal world.
Speaking of which, these gods carrying spiritual leaves on their backs were not supposed to come to the Void Market to trade, but due to some strange coincidences, the Void Market system became a custom, and everyone habitually came here to trade spiritual objects.
So much so that every time there was the first Void Market after the ferry was opened, their Advent Sect would select a cultivator to catch up with Master Pei, to prevent the old guy from going crazy.
Seeing Pei Tianlan's eyes constantly looking at the sea of clouds below, Lord Di also perked up, wanting to see what Pei Tianlan's target was.
Speaking of which, it's not like the Advent Sect had not thought about destroying the Ascension Tower in one fell swoop and completely controlling the Yunxiao Realm.
I tried this several times, but failed every time.
Pei Tianlan carries the will of heaven and earth of the Yunxiao Realm on his back. Unless the Tianmo Palace and the Taihao Immortal Alliance completely suppress the order of heaven and earth in the Yunxiao Realm, it will be difficult to destroy Pei Tianlan.
Fortunately, the Yunxiao Realm is still very stable at present, and Pei Tianlan does not have the ability to overturn the entire sky.
Oh my god, I’ve been noticed by the Demon Palace.
Although the Taihao Alliance is also invading the order of heaven and earth in the Yunxiao Realm, their target is not in the Yunxiao Realm, but on the fairy tree in the Five Elements Fairy Palace in the Yunxiao Realm.
It can be said that the cultivators in the Yunxiao Realm are blessed to be targeted by so many forces.
Once the will of the realm is completely eroded by the Heavenly Demon Palace, the entire Yunxiao Realm will become a part of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and their mission in this realm will be completed.
"Master Pei, which youngster do you dislike?"
Master Di chuckled, "If you feel uncomfortable, just capture them and torture them. Anyway, we always reserve a few places for Master Pei to entertain himself."
"you!"
Pei Tianlan's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Di Zheng, don't forget that your roots are in the Yunxiao Realm."
"I will go to the fairy world in the future."
Owner Di pursed her red lips and spoke coldly.
Pei Tianlan suppressed the murderous intent in his heart. He also understood that no matter how much he said to those who had forgotten their ancestors, it would be useless.
He just looked down, still looking for the cultivator favored by the order of heaven and earth, but unfortunately he didn't find him.
The fact that the Order of Heaven and Earth suddenly allowed him to sense the presence of a cultivator who was cultivating the power of merit was enough to show that the sense of self-crisis of the Order of Heaven and Earth was further strengthened.
This time, it was not the first time that Pei Tianlan sensed a similar creature. He had sensed a similar creature three thousand years ago.
Unfortunately, after that time, that aura never appeared again.
At that time, his strength was not strong enough. After advancing to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation, Pei Tianlan searched for a long time but could not find it.
It is possible that this cultivator has already fallen.
It was when he accidentally fell into the extraterritorial void at the Nascent Soul stage that he was able to communicate with the order of heaven and earth.
At that time, he was still a disciple of a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation in the Ascension Tower. Later, he advanced all the way to the Spiritual Transformation stage, and then step by step to the middle and late stages, and finally became the master of the Ascension Tower.
After thousands of years of hard work, we have not achieved much.
Adhering to the will of the realm order is a road full of crises and opportunities in the current environment.
If he could help the realm successfully escape from the predicament, the fortune that could be obtained would at least stabilize the Refining Void Realm, and he might even be able to touch the Hedao Realm.
Don’t think that the late stage of the Spirit Transformation is only a small level away from the Realm of Refining Void. In fact, it is not so easy to advance to the Realm of Refining Void in the fairy world. If you are placed in a sect ruled by a person in the Hedao Realm, you can also become an elder.
This is not only to help the will of the realm, but also to seek a path to heaven through spiritual practice for oneself.
With Master Di watching over him, Pei Tianlan simply closed his eyes and took a nap.
These guys do this every time, making it impossible for him to help them get rid of them in advance.
angry!
Several major advent factions have joined forces and, relying on the means of connection with the upper realm, have obtained some materials from the fairy world and have turned the eighteen core continents into a formation realm.
The Eighteen Continents today are no longer what they were ten thousand years ago, and the Ascension Tower was forced to move out long ago.
Pei Tianlan didn't dare to get close to that place for the moment. These guys had wanted to hunt him down more than once.
With the protection of the order of heaven and earth, he was able to turn danger into safety time and time again, which made these forces give up the idea of besieging and killing him.
Pei Tianlan had thought about resisting. He tried to spread the situation inside the core continent, but the effect was very poor and no one believed it.
On the contrary, the cultivators who had been there saw a prosperous cultivation realm, with Golden Cores being worse than dogs and Nascent Souls everywhere.
The sixth-level formation was a self-contained realm, so terrifying that he didn't dare to force his way in and lose his life.
Thinking of this, Pei Tianlan felt a little scared. He had also tried to study the formation, but after thousands of years of research, the final result was that he used fifth-level materials to set up a fourth-level formation. He was simply not a good material for practicing formations.
I have also secretly trained formation masters, but unfortunately, although I have talent, it is unknown when I can peek into the sixth-level formation.
A sixth-level formation. This group of people is here to completely destroy the Yunxiao Realm.
He suspected that even if all the cultivators in the Yunxiao Realm were to gather their brains together, they would not be able to produce a sixth-rank formation master.
I have thought of some solutions, such as contacting the cultivators who have ascended to heaven from the Yunxiao Realm.
There have been many cultivators who have ascended to heaven in the Yunxiao Realm. If they can advance to the Lianxu Realm, their lifespan will exceed 30,000 years, and some of them may still be alive.
Unfortunately, it also failed.
They came prepared and divided up the Yunxiao Realm.
Several hundred years ago, these bastards spread the news that three cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation Realm, led by Qinghuo, a fellow Taoist from the Spiritual Clan who was in the late Spiritual Transformation Realm, forcibly broke through the realm and ascended to heaven, and their soul lamps were extinguished within the realm.
In fact, fellow Daoist Qinghuo, who was in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, died in the formation realm of the core eighteen continents and became someone else's nourishment.
Now, Pei Tianlan doubts whether there is anyone else at the late stage of the local Divine Transformation level except him.
If the old monster Ji Feng from the Heavenly Dao Benevolence Department was still alive, he should be able to cultivate to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
…
At the trade fair, Fu Yunfei exchanged her spirit leaves and obtained a 6,300-year-old Water Spirit Jade Flower.
This flower is the main ingredient in refining the Water Spirit Pill, and can also be eaten raw.
After the exchange, she left the Void Market without stopping and rushed into another space corridor.
…
Deep in the void.
Fu Yunfei, riding on a big bone stick, turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the nearby world of immortal cultivation, but behind her was a black gas rolling in that covered a large area of the void.
Wherever it passed, traces of corrosion were left in the void, and a pungent fishy smell filled the air.
Feeling the figure chasing her from behind, Fu Yunfei sped up her escape technique and took out the fifth-rank elixir she had obtained earlier and examined it again.
She recognized the person chasing her at a glance. He was the cultivator with whom she had exchanged the Three Thousand Tribulations Spirit Leaves. Before, this cultivator looked as ethereal as an immortal, but now he had turned into a big devil.
She checked this spiritual medicine several times and did not detect any spiritual restrictions. It seems that the seller is more skilled.
Not only did he want her spiritual leaves, he didn't even want to give her the spiritual medicine.
Amidst the rolling foul-smelling black air, a cold and sinister soul thought rolled out and rushed towards Fu Yunfei without any hesitation.
Amid the strange cries of ghosts and wolves howling, a series of paper-like shadows twisted and flew out, pouncing towards the wolf girl transformed by Fu Yunfei.
Fu Yunfei did not stop. She was now restricted by her physical body and could not exert her maximum combat power. She planned to enter the cultivation world ahead first and then fight back.
In the void, large pieces of paper floated up and turned into a strange world of paper people and paper beasts. All the people and beasts were as light as floating wild geese, and soon some of them floated above Fu Yunfei's head.
"Hehehe, fellow Taoist, please stay!"
