Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 1094: Tianque City’s Terms

Above the verdant mountains.

Four or five cultivators of the Divine Honorable Realm were traversing the sky on a small celestial boat.

The air rippled as Ye Yun appeared above the celestial boat, clasped his hands, and smiled.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

An elder on the celestial boat glanced at Ye Yun, his eyes twitching slightly; then he smiled and said, "No need to be formal, Daoist friend. Is there anything you need help with?"

The reason he was so polite was that he saw the sword on the back of the young man in white.

This was a sword cultivator.

In the Divine Land, the power of a sword cultivator was unquestionable.

They were invincible at the same level.

And this young man in white had a cultivation base of the eighth layer of the Divine Venerable Realm, higher than theirs.

Thus, they had to be polite.

If it were a first-level sword cultivator of the God Sovereign Realm, they wouldn’t have such a kind demeanor.

"May I ask, how do I get to the Di Family?"

Ye Yun asked.

The elder looked surprised: "Daoist friend, you’re not planning on offering treasures to the Di Family, are you?"

"Offer what treasure?"

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback and then understood.

"Friend, lately many cultivators from other regions have come to offer treasures to the Di Family..."

The elder said this, gestured awkwardly, and added, "The treasure I mean is a toxic substance. You know, what is poison to others is a treasure to the Di Family!"

"You’re right; I do have such an intention."

Hearing the elder’s words, Ye Yun nodded agreeing.

It seems that the Di Family is making a grand gesture this time.

After all, collecting so many toxic substances can’t be handled by the Di Family alone.

The Di Family needs to make great sacrifices.

They announced to the world the poisons needed.

Any cultivator with the required poison could offer it to the Di Family for greater rewards.

Since ancient times, wealth has moved people’s hearts.

Ye Yun believed as long as the Di Family offered enough rewards, many people would present their poisons.

"Friend, you’re indeed a bit late..."

The elder sighed.

"Late? Has the Wan Huan Qian Pu Dan begun to be refined?"

Ye Yun was startled and asked instinctively.

"It hasn’t started yet, but I heard they’ve almost collected everything, except for one main ingredient."

The elder explained.

Hearing it hadn’t started, Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

He had rushed over from afar...

If the pill had already started being refined, making him unable to save his master, that would be a grave mistake.

"What main ingredient is missing?"

Ye Yun looked at the elder and asked.

The elder looked at Ye Yun and said: "This main ingredient, I heard, is the Heart of the Heavenly Illusory Purple Snake!"

"The Heart of the Heavenly Illusory Purple Snake?"

Ye Yun muttered to himself, suddenly a flash of insight crossed his mind, and he blurted out: "If I’m not mistaken, doesn’t Tianque City have a Sky Illusion Purple Snake?"

"You are correct, Daoist friend. The Lord of Tianque City raises a demonic pet, precisely the Sky Illusion Purple Snake!"

The elder said seriously.

Ye Yun frowned: "Does Tianque City refuse to hand over the Heart of the Sky Illusion Purple Snake?"

"Since you know about Tianque City, you’re surely aware that Tianque City’s power is not inferior to the Di Family. Asking the Lord of Tianque City to kill the beloved Sky Illusion Purple Snake and give its heart to the Di Family is indeed quite challenging..."

The elder rubbed his hands and smiled wryly.

"It’s merely a trade of interests, what difficulty is there?"

Ye Yun sneered.

Tianque City and the Di Family are both Divine King-level powers, evenly matched, typically competitors.

However, Tianque City is not in the Central Wilderness Ancient Domain.

It is in the Ancient Wilderness Region.

Located in different territories, naturally, the competition is less intense.

Logically, as long as the terms are right, both sides should be able to agree on the trade.

It’s just a demonic pet, right?

No big deal, it can be killed if needed.

"You’re correct, the Lord of Tianque City has indeed laid out conditions!"

The elder laughed.

Ye Yun asked: "What conditions did the Di Family not agree to?"

"The Lord of Tianque City’s youngest son, a half-step God King Realm expert, has always admired the Nine Heavens Divine King, Jiu Ying. This time, taking advantage of the Di Family’s pill refining, they proposed a condition to wed Jiu Ying to Tianque City, and the Di Family has yet to consent!"

The elder slowly explained.

"To marry off Jiu Ying to the Lord of Tianque City’s son, a half-step God King Realm fellow?"

Ye Yun frowned, his expression deepened.

Though his relationship with Jiu Ying wasn’t deep, hearing this news made Ye Yun somewhat angry.

It felt as if someone was trying to take away his woman.

Even if it’s only nominal, having someone take her was something Ye Yun subconsciously could not accept.

"The Nine Heavens Divine King is one of our Central Wilderness’s most outstanding young Divine Kings, with limitless prospects. Conversely, compared to Tianque City’s Lord’s son, in terms of talent and cultivation, he is unmatched by the Nine Heavens Divine King. Therefore, regarding this marriage, nearly all of the Central Wilderness’s cultivators are unhappy..."

The elder waved his arms, showing a hint of anger on his face.

Though it’s none of his business, since he is also from the Central Wilderness, naturally his emotions lean towards his domain’s people.

"You are right, the Nine Heavens Divine King has unparalleled talent, unmatched cultivation, how could she possibly marry an incompetent?"

Ye Yun smiled indifferently.

"Exactly, my friend, you speak to my heart!"

The elder laughed heartily.

"Where is the Di Family? I’ll go and have a look..."

Ye Yun asked.

"Southeast direction, fly for two hundred thousand miles to a mountain called Emperor Fall Mountain, where you’ll find the Di Family!" the elder answered truthfully.

"Good, thank you for your honest guidance, my friend!"

Ye Yun clasped his hands, expressing his gratitude.

The impression this elder left was quite favorable.

"Friend, be careful, things aren’t peaceful at the Di Family now, don’t get too close to watch the excitement..."

The elder advised.

In his eyes, Ye Yun was merely of Divine Honorable Realm cultivation; at the Di Family, such a cultivation indeed wasn’t significant.

"Alright, I understand!"

Ye Yun smiled and nodded, then turned and vanished into the air.

"Uncle..."

A young girl in a red dress, at the first level of the Divine Honorable Realm, suddenly spoke up.

"What is it?"

The elder looked at the girl who wanted to speak but hesitated and smiled.

"There’s a rumor that the Nine Heavens Divine King has a sword cultivator Dao companion. Do you think it could be him?"

The girl in red pointed in the direction where Ye Yun disappeared, lost in thought.

"Impossible!"

The elder firmly denied it, waving his hands repeatedly: "The Nine Heavens Divine King is of Divine King Realm cultivation. This sword cultivator young man is only at the eighth layer of the Divine Venerable Realm. How could such a level be worthy of the Nine Heavens Divine King?"

"The cultivation is indeed lacking..."

The girl in red narrowed her eyes slightly and shook her head gently: "But I have a feeling, if this white-clad sword cultivator stood with the Nine Heavens Divine King, they somehow seem a perfect match!"

"Stop that nonsense; if people from the Di Family heard this, do you still wish to live?"

The elder glared at her.

"..."

The girl in red was left speechless, her face showing a hint of panic as she quickly lowered her head and said no more.
