Hearing the man's words, Wang Ruoxie couldn't help but feel a bit stunned.
Although he had long known that the Immortal Path was full of relentless slaughter, he hadn't expected it to be as the man described—no friends on the Immortal Path, only life-and-death enemies.
"Why did you call , what do you need?"
The man spoke again.
"Senior, I wanted to ask, why are there corpses everywhere on this Immortal Path, yet so few living people?"
Wang Ruoxie asked the man.
Throughout this journey, he saw mostly corpses and only just now saw other living people besides himself and Xiao Ningyue.
"The Immortal Path is vast and endless, nearly without an end. Those who set foot on the Immortal Path before us are either dead or ahead of us."
The man replied directly: "If you continue forward, you will reach the first gathering place."
"Gathering place?"
Wang Ruoxie showed a look of confusion.
"On this Immortal Path, although there are no palaces, houses, or other buildings, let alone cities, many people still gather together to trade what they have gained, or to inquire about information they've discovered."
Without hiding anything, the man explained: "Over ti, it beca a gathering place."
After finishing, the man looked at Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue and said: "I am getting ready to go to the gathering place to trade for so necessary items and gather so information. You can co with ."
"Thank you, senior."
Wang Ruoxie slightly cupped his hands towards the man.
He and Xiao Ningyue were new to the Immortal Path, and everything was unknown to them, so having a guide could save them a lot of trouble.
Of course, he wasn't worried that the man harbored any malice. Given his current Cultivation Power, along with the Godslaying Sword that had evolved into a Chaos Supre Treasure, he might not be unable to slay this quasi-immortal who had survived one tribulation.
Then, under the man's guidance, Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue headed towards the first gathering place.
During the subsequent conversation, the two learned that the man's na was Bu Tao, a quasi-immortal who had survived one Celestial Tribulation, and was less than ten years away from the next.
According to Bu Tao himself, he no longer had any confidence in surviving the second Celestial Tribulation.
This ant that once the second Celestial Tribulation descended, he would vanish into thin air, completely disappearing from the world.
And it was precisely because of this that Bu Tao didn't directly attack the two.
If it were an ordinary person, they might have already killed and robbed them.
One must know that those who set foot on the Immortal Path almost all face the millennial Celestial Tribulation. To live another thousand years, they naturally spared no effort to enhance their strength.
And killing and looting is one of the fastest ways.
About half a month later, the trio finally arrived at the first gathering place.
Calling it a gathering place was actually just a few simple tents set up, with thousands of people gathered nearby, trading with each other.
Wang Ruoxie noticed that the people in this gathering place almost all exuded extrely strong murderous intent, and their eyes were cold and fierce, as if they might strike at any mont.
"Although this gathering place is a trading spot, if one doesn't have enough strength, it's best not to casually reveal important treasures; otherwise, the crowd will definitely unite to attack, kill, and loot."
Bu Tao warned.
Hearing this, Wang Ruoxie nodded. He had originally planned to take out that Giant Axe for trading, but now it seed the consequence would be inviting a deadly calamity.
After all, among the thousands of people here, most were quasi-immortals who had survived a Celestial Tribulation, and there were even a few who had survived two and three tribulations.
Even if he used the Godslaying Sword, he couldn't possibly contend with so many strong cultivators.
However, those ordinary Innate Spiritual dicines and Innate Spiritual Treasures could be taken out for trade.
"Have you heard? The Profound Lady has already passed the Ninth Trial of Life and Death."
"What... the Profound Lady has already passed the Ninth Trial of Life and Death? Doesn't that an her strength now surpasses that of an ordinary nine-tribulation quasi-immortal?"
"Incredible, the Profound Lady has only been on the Immortal Path for three thousand years and at most passed only three Celestial Tiers, yet her strength surpasses that of an ordinary nine-tribulation quasi-immortal."
At this point, Wang Ruoxie suddenly heard a discussion within the crowd and felt a pulse in his heart. The Profound Lady was on the Immortal Path?
Without hesitation, Wang Ruoxie directly stepped forward to the people discussing.
"Senior, who is this Profound Lady?"
Wang Ruoxie slightly cupped his hands and asked.
"Kid, don't you know that on this Immortal Path, there's nothing free? Even information must be traded with sothing of equivalent value."
A brawny man cast a cold glance at Wang Ruoxie and spoke.
"Senior, is this Five Elents Dao Fruit enough?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoxie directly took out a Five Elents Dao Fruit and handed it to the man.
The initial condition proposed by Di Hua was this Five Elents Dao Fruit.
And in the Chaos Secret Realm, he obtained at least hundreds of Five Elents Dao Fruits; taking one out for trade was nothing significant.
"Although the Five Elents Dao Fruit is just an ordinary Innate Spiritual dicine, it suffices to exchange for so basic information about the Profound Lady."
The brawny man was slightly stunned for a mont, then directly accepted the Five Elents Dao Fruit, nodding in satisfaction.
Those around couldn't help but show disdainful looks; it was clear this guy was extorting. The basic information about the Profound Lady was practically common knowledge, yet this guy was trading it.
What they didn't expect was that soone was actually foolish enough to trade Innate Spiritual dicine for basic information about the Profound Lady.
They didn't know that for Wang Ruoxie, the information about the Profound Lady was far more precious than Innate Spiritual dicine. He would not hesitate even if it required a higher price.
"The Profound Lady ca to the Immortal Path over three thousand years ago. At that ti, she was only at the Third Layer of the Divine Venerable Realm but managed to annihilate a just-tribulated quasi-immortal in a single strike."
Having received the Five Elents Dao Fruit, the brawny man fulfilled his end of the deal without delay: "And in the subsequent three thousand years, her Cultivation Power increased at an incredibly terrifying pace."
"Not long ago, she easily passed the third Celestial Tribulation, and her power surpassed that of an ordinary Tier Nine quasi-immortal."
Hearing the brawny man's words, Wang Ruoxie's heart trembled, and he continued to ask: "Senior, has this Profound Lady lived for over ten million years, surviving from the era of the Three Realms?"
"Correct, it is said that during the Three Realms, she was a daughter of a certain Celestial Emperor of the Celestial Court."
The brawny man nodded.
"It's really her."
Receiving confirmation from the brawny man, Wang Ruoxie's heart couldn't help but tremble violently.
He now wanted nothing more than to find the Profound Lady and question why she personally killed him back then.
He also wanted to know if his Celestial Emperor father was still alive.
However, he also felt a tinge of fear in his heart, fearing that the answers he received would be unbearable.
"Ruoxie, are you alright?"
Seeing Wang Ruoxie's current state, Xiao Ningyue expressed concern.
