The God of Heavens

Chapter 440 The Great Xuan Empire, Heavenly Dao Pavilion
After staying at the Blood Shadow Demon Sect for a short time, Lin Yu left again and came to the Xuanhuang Great World, the number one dynasty in the world.

This country is called Da Xuan, and it has a huge market where you can buy any rare treasures and precious materials.

Numerous chambers of commerce have established a presence here, and some even span across the stars, originating from other great worlds.

However, this country is also under the jurisdiction of Taiyi Sect and has to pay tribute to Taiyi Sect every year.

Taiyi Sect.

In the vast and mysterious world, the righteous path reigns supreme.

Even erasing the words "the right path" would not be unacceptable.

Its strength truly surpasses all other factions, making it the undisputed overlord of this realm.

As the first empire under its rule, the grandeur of the Great Xuan Dynasty was far beyond anything Lin Yu had ever seen in any dynasty before.

Upon entering this country, he subtly sensed something with a sweep of his divine sense—

Surprisingly, there were no beggars here.

Everyone has clothes to wear and food to eat.

Ordinary people often have a physical body with three or four layers.

Those who excel can even reach the fifth level.

Even the soldiers patrolling the streets all possessed the cultivation level of the seventh level of physical body.

Seven layers of physical body...

In dynasties like Dali, Dade, and Dazhao, this would be enough to be promoted to general, command thousands of soldiers, fight on the battlefield, and be granted a title and establish a career.

However, he was merely an ordinary soldier.

The secret lies in a type of grain called "Baiyang Rice".

This rice was bestowed by the Taiyi Sect and distributed to the people for cultivation by the Daxuan government.

Its rice absorbs the essence of the earth, which is extremely nourishing to the human body, and its yield per mu is astonishing—reaching 30,000 to 50,000 jin.

With this kind of spiritual rice as their staple food, even ordinary people can naturally become stronger and healthier over time, reaching the third or fourth level of physical strength.

The finest of the superior elixirs, "Baiyang Dan," uses this rice as its main ingredient.

Five thousand catties of Baiyang rice, supplemented with many spiritual herbs, undergoes multiple processes of steaming, grinding, washing, and calcining to remove all impurities, before a single grain of essence can be extracted.

It is precisely because of this foundation that the Great Xuan Dynasty possesses profound resources and is full of hidden talents.

A cultivator at the realm of supernatural powers may disregard imperial authority and act as the sole ruler in other countries.

But in this place, it is absolutely impossible.

The princes, dukes, and princes in the court were almost all masters of supernatural powers and secret realms.

The current Xuan Emperor is an ancient giant of the Longevity Secret Realm.

Among the royal elders, there are also many who are at the same level.

Even though the Taiyi Sect is considered a major villain by the world, it also has its undeniable merits.

Enabling hundreds of millions of people to live in peace and warmth—

That's already incredibly remarkable.

On the long street of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Mortals in the physical realm walk on the ground, while cultivators who wield spiritual artifacts or have entered the supernatural realm soar through the air.

The difference between heaven and earth is clear, and social classes are distinct.

Lin Yu unleashed his magical power, his flight vanished, and he strolled leisurely, quickly arriving in front of a shop.

This shop occupies a unique spot along the ten-mile-long street.

The pavilions are towering, the walls are blood-red, and a jade kylin several meters tall stands in front of the gate, exuding an imposing aura.

Even the guards at the gate were experts at the tenth level of the "Divine Transformation" realm of physical body!

Moreover, everyone was dressed in magical robes and carried magical weapons, exuding an air of grandeur.

Tiandao Pavilion.

Its very name is arrogant.

The three-character plaque hangs high, its brushstrokes flowing like dragons and snakes, displaying a myriad of styles and subtly revealing a majestic and domineering aura that encompasses heaven and earth and governs the laws of nature.

"This is it." Lin Yu knew that this place might contain a fragment of the World Tree.

He descended from the clouds and landed in front of the main gate.

All the cultivators I had seen before, regardless of their cultivation level, entered on foot, which was clearly a rule of the pavilion.

Lin Yu readily agreed and stepped into the group.

He descended from the sky, clad in a magical robe adorned with precious artifacts, drawing awe from all who witnessed it – a master from a mystical realm of supernatural powers had personally arrived.

The guards at the gate immediately bowed and paid their respects, not daring to be negligent.

A woman in a long dress, with a faint hint of green between her brows, stepped forward with a respectful demeanor.
"Junior Green Eyebrows, a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, greets Senior."

Lin Yu glanced at her and saw that this woman had also cultivated magical power and was a cultivator in the Divine Power Realm, but she had not yet condensed her true qi and was still at the first level.

senior?

He chuckled inwardly.

Well, that's the rule in the cultivation world. Age aside, strength is paramount.

"May I ask your esteemed title, senior? What treasure do you seek at the Heavenly Dao Pavilion?"

Green Eyebrows led the way while asking questions softly.

"Fang Yu."

He spoke succinctly, casually choosing an alias, and with a flick of his wrist, six crystal-clear, talisman-like cards appeared in his palm.

"You take a look at this first."

The six crystal cards shone brightly, and were divided into three colors: red, green, and blue, with two of each.

On the red card, the two characters "Heavenly Way" are ancient and profound; on the green card, "Six Paths" are engraved, mysterious and unfathomable; and on the blue card, "Nine Tripods" are engraved, majestic and imposing.

These are the three major merchant guilds of the Xuanhuang Great World—

The Heavenly Path Pavilion, the Six Paths Alliance, and the Nine Cauldrons Pavilion are VIP crystal cards used to store elixirs.

Thank you again, Protoss brother, for your generous gift!

Not only did they send magical treasures and elixirs, but they also bestowed upon the recipients a great deal of "face."

In this vast and mysterious world, this crystal card is a symbol of status that allows for unrestricted movement.

The internal texture of each crystal card shimmers, revealing a clear "亿" (hundred million) character.

A quota of 100 million pills.

The gods are accustomed to stirring up trouble in this realm, so they naturally need a huge amount of money to win people's hearts.

Given their immense wealth, it's quite common for them to casually exchange some rare items for these crystal cards.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of the gods, who were not only wealthy but also exceptionally generous!

"Ah! It's a distinguished guest!"

Green Eyebrows' eyes lit up, and her attitude became even more respectful. "Please follow me to the VIP room."

She bowed and led the way, and soon invited Lin Yu to a private room upstairs.

The room was secluded and quiet, and below the window was a huge plaza, packed with people, whose voices could be faintly heard.

A grand treasure-selling event is in full swing.

"Your timing is perfect, senior. Today, our pavilion is holding an auction with countless treasures."

Furthermore, there are Venusite, Myriad Layers of Water Essence, Bing Fire Thunder Sand, Azure Dragon Bodhi Wood...

They are all top-tier treasures of the five elements.

"If you have enough pills, senior, you can take them all in one go. You will immediately master the Five Elements Divine Power, and it will not be difficult to reach the sixth level of the Divine Power Realm!" Green Eyebrows said in detail, as if reciting a familiar story.

The Heavenly Dao Pavilion holds this grand event every ten days or so, and the treasures presented are different each time.

Occasionally, top-grade magical artifacts appear in the world, and even fragments of Dao artifacts occasionally leak out.

This is the foundation of a great business association.

Even powerful figures from the Demonic Sect and ancient giants often hide here to conduct transactions.

"A treasure of the Five Elements essence?"

Lin Yu's thoughts shifted slightly, but he remained unmoved.

"If I find a place with the Five Elements, I can use an endless supply of Five Elements spiritual roots. These are just a waste of time."

However, the current objective is still to find the fragments of the World Tree.

The rarity of the Five Elements spiritual roots is comparable to that of Dao artifacts.

Even if the Heavenly Dao Pavilion truly possesses such a collection, it would never easily put it up for auction; it is a truly profound item capable of suppressing destiny.

Lin Yu's gaze fell on the bustling auction hall below.

Today's event was clearly of a very high standard. A blazing red light suddenly descended on the central auction stage, revealing a cultivator wearing a crimson robe.

The man was tall and imposing, nearly nine feet tall, with hands as red as if branded, and an aura of immense power.

He was actually a great master at the Golden Core stage!
Noticing Lin Yu's gaze, Green Eyebrows immediately explained in a low voice:
"That person is a remarkable figure in the cultivation world, a rogue cultivator, known as the 'Bare-Handed Immortal,' and is now an honored elder of our Heavenly Dao Pavilion. He will personally preside over today's auction."

Lin Yu's mind stirred slightly as he recalled that such a person did indeed appear in the list of notable rogue cultivators recorded in "All Worlds".

Its golden elixir contains more than twenty kinds of supernatural powers.

To be able to cultivate the Golden Core using more than twenty kinds of supernatural powers is truly remarkable.

Those like the Water Gu Demon King and Blood Prison Demon King that he killed did not have such an accumulation.

Supernatural powers are the fundamental means for those who cultivate the Tao.

Each additional ten supernatural powers represents a leap in one's level of life.

Just then, the treasure-selling event below suddenly caused a sensation.

The first treasure of the day is being slowly carried into the arena.

"There are quite a few experts present today," Lin Yu thought to himself.

"Everyone!"

On stage, the bare-handed immortal's voice boomed like a bell, drowning out the noise of the entire audience.

"Today is the grandest annual treasure-selling event of our Heavenly Dao Pavilion. We are honored to have the presence of all of you fellow Daoists."

This first treasure is the legendary Nine Heavens Breath Soil Crystal!!

Before he finished speaking, he ripped the precious brocade off with his large hand—

A small plate of yellowish-brown crystal sand has appeared!
At first glance, it appears plain and lacks the vitality of the earth element.

However, those with exceptionally strong mental power can sense it—

This small plate of crystal sand is as heavy as a mountain, as imposing as a peak, and as majestic as an ancient divine mountain!
"As you all surely know, this Nine Heavens Breath Soil Crystal is an absolute sacred object of the earth element!"

His bare hands and the immortal's voice were deep and resonant, like a bell.

“An ancient, powerful being once used this to control the floods.”

"With a casual gesture, it transforms into a massive dam, preventing devastating floods for millennia."

"To protect hundreds of millions of people and keep them free from floods for generations to come."

"This item is not only a supreme treasure for cultivating earth-based divine abilities, but it can also... solidify the cave dwelling and nourish spiritual herbs!"

"If the Breath Soil Crystal is integrated into the foundation of the cave, it can be connected to the earth's pulse, making it unbreakable. External enemies will find it difficult to invade, and the grade and growth rate of spiritual herbs... can all increase several times over!"

"Starting price is five million. Each increment must be at least one hundred thousand."

The audience nodded in agreement, knowing that what he said was true.

The cave is filled with the essence of the heavens, which not only makes it abundant with medicinal herbs, but also makes the mountain foundation more solid and indestructible.

Even if a powerful expert at the advanced level attacked, it would be difficult to shake the situation.

Through long-term cultivation, the divine thunder of the Earth element naturally arises in the mountains. When defending against enemies, it draws upon the earth's primordial energy, causing thunder to erupt and mountains to collapse, thus vanquishing evil and warding off chaos!
Even at such a high price, there were still many people vying for them.

"Five and a half million."

In a VIP room, the young man in white spoke calmly.

By directly increasing the price by 500,000, it was clear that they were determined to win.

Lin Yu looked over and saw that the other party's expression was calm, as if he had casually tossed out an ordinary number.

"Five and a half million... I've saved up half a lifetime and I only have five hundred thousand..."

"After fifty years of arduous cultivation, his net worth was only a million, yet he raised the price once and..."

In the square, countless cultivators with supernatural powers gasped in astonishment, stunned by this display of power.

"Five. million!"

From another VIP room came a low growl, filled with gritted teeth.

Lin Yu looked over and saw a cultivator at the third level of the Divine Power Realm, the "Yuan Gang Realm," whose face was full of determination, as if he were betting his entire fortune.

He smiled.

This person cultivates earth-based supernatural powers. If he obtains the Breath of Earth Crystal, he may undergo a transformation of his Qi, glimpse the changes of Yin and Yang, and even reach the realm of Heaven and Man.

However, his financial resources are probably still a bit lacking to buy this treasure.

Sure enough, the young man in white seemed to answer without hesitation, saying directly, "Six million!"

The Yuan Gang Realm cultivator instantly collapsed, his face ashen.

"Six million three hundred thousand!" someone else started bidding.

"Six and a half million!"

"Six million seven hundred thousand!"

……

Bidding calls rose and fell.

Immortal elders, demonic overlords, and rogue cultivators with extraordinary encounters... they all vie for power, refusing to yield an inch.

Until the young man in white spoke again:
"Eight million."

The whole audience suddenly fell silent.

This price already far exceeds the intrinsic value of the Xirang Crystal, making further debate pointless.

Thus, this plate of Nine Heavens Breath Crystal ultimately belonged to the young man in white.

Lin Yu shook his head inwardly.

If he truly gains complete control of the Five Elements Land, what harm would it do to buy the entire Heavenly Dao Pavilion, let alone a plate of Breath Soil Crystals?
The earth element essence contained within that serpent sacred beast is far purer and more powerful than any other spiritual creature.

What astronomical price will it be then?

A glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

"The next treasure is the Void Eight Extremes Tower! It contains abundant spatial power and requires the refinement of one million Void Crystals to be completed."

Void Crystals are probably familiar to everyone; they are a rare item used to craft the Hundred Treasures Pouch, forming its own space.

If one could obtain this Qiankun Baji Pagoda, one could gather all one's disciples inside and roam freely between heaven and earth.

When faced with a powerful enemy, simply activating the treasure will unleash the full power of the entire sect!

The voice of the bare-handed immortal rang out once again.
