Sell Little Tower!
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Divine Decree fell silent for a moment before saying, “Priceless!”
Priceless!
Ye Xuan blinked. “Really?”
Divine Decree said gravely, “If you truly tried to sell it, it would drive countless powerhouses mad!”
Little Tower’s heaven-defying cultivation function was enough to make anyone lose their mind!
The term “heaven-defying” wasn’t even sufficient to describe it!
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Little Tower, I’ll treat you better from now on!”
After a brief silence, Little Tower replied, “Little Master, just act like a decent person! Honestly, when you get all flashy, you’re even scarier than the Master.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Moments later, Ye Xuan arrived in front of a grand hall.
Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
This was the largest trading house in the Demon God Realm. There was a saying about this place: as long as you had money, you could buy anything here!
As soon as Ye Xuan entered the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, a very refined-looking woman approached him. She smiled slightly, neither servile nor overbearing. “Honoured guest, are you here to sell or buy?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Buy!”
The woman smiled faintly. “Please follow me, honoured guest!”
With that, she turned and walked inside.
Ye Xuan followed her to a luxurious private room. Soon, someone brought in fine spiritual tea.
The woman sat across from Ye Xuan and smiled. “How may I address you, honoured guest?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Yang Xuan!”
The woman smiled. “Young Master Yang, my name is A-Qian. What would Young Master Yang like to purchase?”
Ye Xuan said, “A Cosmic Heart!”
A Cosmic Heart!
The woman was slightly taken aback.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Do you have it?”
The woman nodded. “Yes! But it’s very expensive!”
Ye Xuan asked, “How expensive?”
The woman looked at Ye Xuan. “Eight hundred star veins!”
Eight hundred star veins!
At that, Ye Xuan’s eyelids twitched.
Bloody hell!
His entire stash of star veins was just under seven hundred—his entire fortune! And that was only because Zhou Xin had given him five hundred. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have seven hundred!
Suddenly, he realised how poor he was!
The woman suddenly smiled. “Young Master, if you don’t have enough star veins, I do have a solution!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, curious. “What solution?”
The woman said, “A loan!”
Ye Xuan was stunned. “A loan? What’s that?”
The woman smiled. “It’s simple. You pay fifty percent of the cost upfront, and the remaining star veins can be paid in instalments!”
Instalments!
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Can it be done like that?”
The woman smiled faintly. “Yes! However, we will charge some interest and service fees. In total, the cost will be more than eight hundred star veins. I’ve roughly calculated it, and it comes to about nine hundred star veins!”
A hundred star veins in interest!
At that, Ye Xuan’s expression darkened.
At that moment, Little Tower suddenly said, “Bloody hell! This feels so familiar!”
Ye Xuan was curious. “How so?”
Little Tower said calmly, “Nothing!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
A-Qian continued, “Of course, if Young Master Yang can pay in full, you can avoid all this hassle and not have to pay extra interest!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Aren’t you afraid someone might take a loan and not repay it?”
A-Qian blinked. “We’re not afraid!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “I’ll come back another day!”
A-Qian stood up and smiled. “Young Master Yang, take care!”
With that, she turned and left.
Though she still had a smile on her face as she departed, the smile had a different flavour.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Does she think I can’t afford it?”
Little Tower replied, “You *can’t* afford it!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
In the private room, Ye Xuan fell silent.
He hadn’t expected a single Cosmic Heart to be so expensive!
What now?
Little Tower suddenly said, “Little Master, are you thinking of robbing the place?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “Am I that kind of person?”
Little Tower said calmly, “You’re not even a person!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Not bothering to argue with Little Tower, he left the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
As if recalling something, Ye Xuan suddenly opened his palm, and an ancient book appeared in his hand.
The Cosmic Book!
Since obtaining it, he hadn’t used it, so he didn’t know if it was actually useful!
At that moment, Divine Decree suddenly exclaimed, “The Cosmic Book!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “You know this Cosmic Book?”
Divine Decree said gravely, “It’s a supreme divine artefact of the Primordial Universe!”
Ye Xuan asked solemnly, “Can it kill someone in the Cosmic Heart Realm?”
Divine Decree replied, “Yes! But I don’t know its limits. You can try it!”
Ye Xuan looked at the Cosmic Book in front of him. He hesitated. Should he test it on himself?
Moments later, Ye Xuan opened the Cosmic Book and wrote two words on it: Yang Ye!
The man in green: “…”
Little Tower: “…”
The moment he finished writing, the Cosmic Book suddenly trembled violently. The next moment, it burst into flames!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly stored the Cosmic Book inside Little Tower.
Once inside, the flames around the Cosmic Book gradually dissipated.
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “Little Tower, is it alright?”
Little Tower said calmly, “It’s fine. It just nearly had its soul obliterated!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Little Tower said gravely, “Little Master, for now, you’d best not challenge the Master’s authority!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
His father’s strength was still unfathomably deep!
At that moment, dozens of powerful auras suddenly swept across the sky.
Ye Xuan looked up. Nearby, someone suddenly said, “Why have the four halls suddenly deployed so many powerhouses today?”
“I heard a sword cultivator is bringing people to fight the Demon Sect to the death!”
“Bloody hell? Fight the Demon Sect to the death? Is that sword cultivator serious?”
“They must be serious. Otherwise, the four halls wouldn’t have sent out so many powerhouses! I also heard that the master of the Ancient Demon Hall has personally shown up!”
“What’s the background of that sword cultivator?”
“No idea! But they must be strong. If they weren’t, would they dare to make such a bold claim in the Demon God Realm?”
“Come on, let’s go see! A sword cultivator this audacious is worth a look…”
Within the city, countless powerhouses headed toward the city gates.
Nearby, Ye Xuan, having overheard these conversations, fell silent.
Little Tower suddenly said, “Little Master… are you going?”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Can I go?”
Little Tower hesitated, then said, “If you don’t go, you’ll lose face big time!”
Ye Xuan shrugged. “I’ve already got no shame. What’s there to fear about losing face?”
With that, he turned and left.
Little Tower: “…”
…
On the city walls.
At this moment, the walls were packed with powerhouses from the Ancient Demon Hall. Not only that, but powerhouses from the other three halls were also lurking in the shadows.
They were on high alert!
They had to take it seriously!
Because the four hall masters all placed great importance on Yun Chuan’s words.
On the city wall, Yun Chuan stood quietly. In front of him stood a middle-aged man with a single horn on his head.
This was Kui Shen, the master of the Ancient Demon Hall!
Kui Shen looked into the distance, his expression calm. “Will he come?”
Yun Chuan nodded. “He’ll definitely come! This man is a sword cultivator with extraordinary strength. He won’t break his word!”
Kui Shen nodded slightly.
Everyone stood ready.
From sunrise to noon, and then from noon to sunset, Ye Xuan still hadn’t appeared.
As the sun set, Yun Chuan’s expression grew grim.
Could this guy have gotten lost?
Night fell.
Ye Xuan still didn’t show up!
The powerhouses on the city wall and those in the city began to look at each other strangely.
Yun Chuan’s face grew darker by the moment.
The second day, as a red sun slowly rose and all things came to life, Ye Xuan still hadn’t arrived!
On the city wall, Kui Shen turned to Yun Chuan. Yun Chuan looked into the distant sky and said softly, “Is this guy planning to throw away all shame?”
At that moment, Kui Shen suddenly said, “Yun Chuan, I’m very disappointed! And very angry!”
With that, he turned and left.
On the city wall, the Demon Sect powerhouses began to withdraw.
Soon, only Yun Chuan remained.
Yun Chuan stared into the distant sky, a trace of confusion in his eyes. “Impossible… A sword cultivator this powerful would never break his word. Could he really have gotten lost?”
In the city, the crowd dispersed.
Discussions abounded!
Everyone was talking about why the sword cultivator hadn’t shown up!
Was he scared?
Or did he get lost?
For a time, the entire Demon God City buzzed with activity.
At the same time, the Demon God Sect began a full-scale manhunt for Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan’s no-show had infuriated the Demon God Sect. Never had anyone dared to toy with the Demon God Realm like this. Soon, the sect’s covert intelligence operatives left the Demon God Realm to hunt for Ye Xuan.
Unbeknownst to them, Ye Xuan was already in Demon God City.
…
Elsewhere.
In an unknown starry sky, two old men frantically tore through space-time star domains. About two hours later, they appeared in the Heavenly Realm.
Both were at the sixth stage of the Cosmic Heart Realm!
The two glanced around. The old man on the left said softly, “Let’s go!”
With that, they vanished from the spot.
Moments later, they arrived directly at the Zhou Clan of the Heavenly Family.
When they appeared, the current Zhou Clan leader, Zhou Xin, immediately confronted them. Looking at the two, her expression was one of extreme caution.
Unfathomably deep!
That was the feeling these two gave her!
With her current strength, anyone who could give her this feeling was no ordinary person!
The old man on the left sized up Zhou Xin, then smiled faintly. “Greetings, young lady. We mean no harm. We’re here only to ask: where is our young master?”
Zhou Xin frowned. “Your young master?”
The old man on the right suddenly said, “Ye Xuan, Young Master Ye!”
At that, Zhou Xin was stunned. “Ye Xuan!”
The two old men nodded.
Zhou Xin looked at them, her expression turning strange.
The old man on the left said kindly, “Young lady, as far as we know, he was here before, correct?”
Zhou Xin nodded. “He was indeed here, but he’s already left!”
The two exchanged a glance. The old man on the left hesitated, then said, “Young lady, when the young master left, did he leave anything with you?”
Zhou Xin frowned. “Leave something?”
The old man on the left smiled faintly. “Like a little wooden figure, perhaps!”
Zhou Xin shook her head.
The two exchanged another glance. The old man on the left smiled. “Then we’ll take our leave!”
With that, they prepared to depart.
At that moment, Zhou Xin suddenly said, “If he had left a wooden figure with me, what would that mean?”
The old man on the left hesitated, then said, “The Mistress instructed that if the young master left a wooden figure with you, it would mean you are our young mistress. We would take you away from here to the Mysterious Realm that the Mistress created for the young master! There, you would have access to the best cultivation resources in the universe.”
With that, the two left.
Zhou Xin: “…”
