While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 386 The Continent of Merchants

Deep within the Luoshen Palace.

Inside a tranquil hall, thousands of jade slips floated in the air, their shimmering light flowing like shattered diamonds in a galaxy, dazzling the eyes.

The hall was silent. Chen Xiao strolled around, casually picked up a jade slip, and as his gaze swept over it, golden characters immediately appeared on it.

"The Ranking of Ten Thousand Beasts, also known as the Spirit Beast Ranking—"

"The fifth is the spirit of the Luo River, above which are the spirits of the Four Symbols: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise."

In a short while, Chen Xiao had a clear understanding of the contents of the jade slip, put it back in its place, and then reached out to another jade slip that he had not yet read.

This great hall contains no cultivation techniques or supernatural abilities, yet it encompasses all aspects of the vast world, including many secrets.

From records of powerful figures that have shaken the ages to rare and precious illustrations of mythical beasts, and widely circulated anecdotes, it has everything.

This is precisely why Chen Xiao returned to the Luo Shen Clan with Luo Mufeng!

Although he has some understanding of the world, many of his memories are blurred and need to be sorted out.

This small matter was nothing more than a simple favor for the Luo Shen Clan. From the moment Luo Tian Shen saw Chen Xiao, she readily agreed and even specially ordered people to send all the jade slips that Chen Xiao was interested in from the Luo Shen Palace to this place, which is why the scene before us is like this.

""

The more I learn, the more I am shocked.

When Luo Tianshen first met Chen Xiao, if it weren't for her eldest son telling her the story, she would never have believed that Chen Xiao had just survived the spiritual tribulation. When they arrived at Luo Shen Palace, Chen Xiao's aura was already no less imposing than Luo Mufeng's.

Now, having only been in the Luoshen Palace for five short days, Chen Xiao's ever-increasing aura has never stopped for a moment. It is now majestic and powerful, in no way inferior to those veteran Earthly Sovereigns who have been immersed in this realm for many years!

Having heard Luo Mufeng describe Chen Xiao's strangeness, and considering that Chen Xiao had focused entirely on understanding the world for the past five days, ignoring everything around him, a bold guess was quietly forming in Luo Tianshen's mind.

Chen Xiao may not be a person of this vast world!

Only in this way can the various strange things about him be explained.

Having reached a conclusion, Luo Tianshen began to value Chen Xiao even more.

After all, almost everyone who can come to the Great Thousand World from a lower plane possesses extraordinary talent and is one of the strongest in each plane.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to break through the dimensional barriers!

To put it more bluntly, each of these people is a huge potential asset.

After spending half a month single-mindedly learning about the vast world, Chen Xiao finally stepped out of the main hall, found Luo Mufeng and his son, and explained his intention to leave.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not insist on keeping you. But I wonder where you plan to go? I have traveled to many continents when I was young. If you are familiar with the place, I may be able to offer you some advice."

Having already concluded in his heart that Chen Xiao was a powerful being who had ascended from a lower plane, Luo Tianshen smiled warmly and asked.

"I plan to make a trip to the Shang Continent first," Chen Xiao said frankly, without any attempt to hide anything.

With no constraints and no enemies, one can act entirely as one pleases.

Restoring his peak strength is his top priority right now.

The most direct and simple way to accomplish this quickly is to obtain a massive amount of Supreme Spiritual Liquid.

This so-called "massive quantity" is not enough to be satisfied with hundreds of thousands or millions, but must be measured in hundreds of millions.

Such a massive sum, even for a powerful force like the Luo Shen Clan with its deep-rooted foundation, might be enough to raise, but it would inevitably cause them great damage and shake their very foundation.

Therefore, Chen Xiao never placed his hopes on this, nor did he want to owe such a huge favor. The Shang Continent became a good choice.

The Continent of Commerce, as its name suggests, is a continent where trade is the foundation.

On that continent, renowned auction houses stand side by side, making the Shang Continent, though not vast in territory, a name that resonates throughout the entire world.

That continent's formidable reputation stemmed from its gathering of rare treasures from all directions, where countless precious materials from various continents could be found, and which were then circulated throughout the world via major auction houses.

There's a famous saying in the Commercial Continent: As long as you have enough Supreme Spirit Liquid, there's nothing you can't buy!

This statement can also be interpreted from another angle: as long as you have enough good things on you, or as long as you are smart enough, you will no longer need to worry about the Supreme Elixir once you get there.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Xiao chose the Shang Continent as his destination.

He has many good qualities.

"The Continent of Merchants is indeed an excellent place. Fellow Daoist, once you go there, I'm sure your strength will be restored to its peak within two or three months."

Luo Tianshen nodded in approval, then flipped her hand, and an ancient Sumeru ring appeared in her palm.

"If it weren't for your help earlier, Fellow Daoist, Mu Feng would never have been able to escape so easily. This Sumeru Ring contains some Supreme Spiritual Liquid, as well as a map of the Great Thousand Worlds that you might find useful, etc., as a token of my gratitude. I hope you won't find it offensive."

The world is full of various types of portable storage spaces, the most common being the mustard seed bracelet. Other types include Sumeru bags, spatial bracelets, and more.

It has all sorts of strange and unusual names, such as storage jade pendant, Qiankun ring, and Qiankun bag.

After all, this is a gathering place for countless lower planes, and most of those lower planes have their own storage spaces.

For example, the storage ring in the Dou Qi Continent, and the Qiankun bag in the Tianxuan Continent—

Of course, although the names are very different, the essence is the same; it is nothing more than a mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru.

Chen Xiao glanced up at Luo Tianshen. The other man's expression was indifferent, but Chen Xiao could sense the expectation hidden between his brows.

With a light laugh, Chen Xiao reached out and took the Sumeru Ring. With a slight thought, a wisp of spiritual energy flowed into the ring from his palm.

In an instant, a space of about a hundred cubic meters clearly appeared.

Inside the space, a small lake of spiritual liquid, shrouded in mist, floated quietly; it was formed purely from the condensation of supreme spiritual liquid.

Chen Xiao roughly estimated that there were at least 20 million drops.

Given the wealth of the Luo Shen Clan, such a generous gift is truly a great honor.

In addition, some jade slips and a lot of miscellaneous items were floating on the lake side, all of which were commonly used items for home use, travel, murder, and robbery.

Chen Xiao accepted the Sumeru Ring, looked up at Luo Tianshen, and nodded with a light smile: "This gift is indeed quite generous, but I will accept it. Thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Luo Mufeng sitting next to Luo Tianshen, and with a flick of his hand, an Ice Soul Talisman appeared.

"We are quite destined to meet. Keep this Ice Soul Talisman safe; it may prove surprisingly effective in a life-or-death situation."

Chen Xiao had already figured it out. Although this guy was strong and had a good status, he was still a newbie. He was probably still a few years away from Luo Li's birth, so he was unlikely to die anytime soon.

When Luo Mufeng continues on his original trajectory and truly faces a desperate situation, Chen Xiao won't even know what level he's in anymore.

But he was certain that with just one Ice Soul Talisman, protecting Luo Mufeng would be no problem at all.

Since they had met by chance, Chen Xiao didn't mind helping the Luo Shen Clan avoid a tragedy.

"Thank you, True Emperor!" Luo Mufeng stood up, bowed solemnly, and then accepted the gift.

Despite being a lower-level supreme being, he maintained a very humble attitude.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, and then stood up without lingering any longer, saying, "Next, we will need to borrow the noble family's teleportation array."

"It's nothing."
