"The transaction is complete, so I shall take my leave."
Bai Ziyue didn't mind much, said this, and then stood up.
"Please wait, Senior!"
Chief Zhao was slightly startled, a trace of hesitation appearing on his face, before he continued speaking, "Has Senior heard of the recent attacks on the city by sea demons?"
"The outside world is quite noisy, so I've naturally heard about it as well."
Bai Ziyue furrowed his brow before speaking.
"Does Senior know that the reason behind the sea demons' unrest is related to a secret realm deep within the True Dragon Gully, located at the center of the five major sea demon territories?"
Chief Zhao imdiately followed up with his question. Due to confidentiality needs, he refrained from revealing the news that the secret realm was the Dragon Palace.
"I haven't heard of that."
Bai Ziyue shook his head, even though he had gathered nurous pieces of information through his Divine Sense.
But ssages like the secret realm and Dragon Palace were still considered secrets within the Giant Whale Immortal City, only known to the top-level powerhouses, cultivators above the Golden Core Realm.
He naturally was unaware.
"This is a crisis for the entire Giant Whale Immortal City, but for soone as powerful as Senior, it is an opportunity.
The secret realm is precisely that opportunity.
Even Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouses will act with utter madness over this opportunity.
Due to the lofty position of our Daoist Comrce Association, the Giant Whale Immortal City revealed this information about the secret realm to us, giving us a chance to participate as well.
Therefore, our Daoist Comrce Association wishes to invite you to participate with us and plan for the treasury within this secret realm."
Chief Zhao glanced at Bai Ziyue and, after a pause, continued, "As everyone knows, our Daoist Comrce Association is wealthy and generous with treasures.
If Senior is willing to contribute, we certainly will not let Senior down.
What does Senior think?"
"Exploring a secret realm?"
Bai Ziyue murmured, then shook his head and said, "I appreciate your good intentions.
But I have other important matters at hand and can only regretfully decline."
Although he was very confident in his abilities, he also knew that his current situation did not allow for too much exposure.
Therefore, while he was curious about the secret realm and understood that sothing that could tempt the powerful Daoist Comrce Association would surely hold countless treasures, he didn't want to court additional troubles.
"In that case, I won't insist."
Seeing this, Chief Zhao could only sigh with regret, then, as if unintentionally, said, "Recently, countless powerhouses have gathered near Giant Whale Immortal City.
Not only True Venerable Mo Fan of the Celestial Spirit Sect but also Confucian God Wang Xuezhi of the Nine-star Daoist Palace, who is now a guest at Cloud Island.
Moreover, it's said that Demonic Powerhouses have secretly infiltrated.
So, I hope you take extra care on your travels, my friend."
Bai Ziyue paused his steps, gave the other a deep look, and said, "Thank you for the reminder."
Then, he directly turned and left.
...
"Sir, why did you ask to say that extra part?"
After Bai Ziyue left, Chief Zhao imdiately entered an adjacent chamber and respectfully spoke.
In the chamber sat a middle-aged cultivator, slightly portly, with eyes that seed to overlap, possessing a rare condition of double pupils.
Double-pupil cultivators are rare, with special bloodlines in the Immortal Technique World. Once they succeed in cultivation and reach the Divine Realm, it is extrely easy for them to awaken Divine Eye-type Innate Divine Techniques, with both potential and power being astonishing.
As for this middle-aged cultivator, although his Immortal Technique Realm was only at the Late-stage Golden Core Realm, his eyes, slightly turning, carried a special spirit light that made people dare not et his gaze, making him extraordinary.
"Just forming a good bond.
This person is not an ordinary individual.
He sealed himself as king with early-stage Golden Core Realm strength and was able to 'Reverse the Immortal' at the Mid-stage Golden Core Realm. Now, at just the Late-stage Golden Core Realm, he could possibly threaten many veteran Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouses.
His presence has made many old figures within the Comrce Association uneasy.
If he doesn't fall within a hundred years, he might just be the next Sunx Botong."
The middle-aged cultivator smiled as he spoke.
"Palace Master Sunx Botong?"
Chief Zhao was shocked.
"Sunx Botong only truly managed to 'Reverse the Immortal' at the Peak of the Golden Core Realm, even weaker than the King of the North Netherworld.
Of course, Sunx Botong's current strength is unfathomable.
At the Mid-Stage Primordial Spirit Realm, he fought the Peak Primordial Spirit Realm Wanchong Mountain Master, and at the Late-stage Primordial Spirit Realm, he could contest with the nine ultimate powerhouses.
Now, having reached the Peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm, he is rumored to hold power comparable to an Immortal Dao Great Power.
This King of the North Netherworld still has a long way to go to reach Sunx Botong's level.
And whether he can survive this pursuit now is hard to say.
Among the ten super powers, which one is easy to deal with?
If truly provoked, would the ultimate powerhouses not take action and allow him to grow slowly?"
The middle-aged cultivator shook his head and laughed.
"Isn't that also true?
In the entire Immortal Technique World, how many geniuses are there?
Through countless ages, there have been those even more monstrous than him.
But how many truly rise to the Primordial Spirit Realm and climb to the ultimate level?
Especially the King of the North Netherworld, who has made too many enemies and is aloof, unwilling to be subordinate to a great force.
If he had the protection of a force, would it be this difficult?"
Chief Zhao couldn't help but nod.
"Overthinking it.
The more he's protected by a great force, the quicker he dies.
No great force would allow such an exceptional genius to exist and smoothly grow to the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Nine-star Daoist Palace, Cyan Profound Mountain, have their ans to kill geniuses."
The middle-aged cultivator shook his head, saying, "I'm just laying down a contingency plan.
What if he truly grows?"
Saying this, he himself shook his head and chuckled.
Then his figure blurred and disappeared from the original place.
...
*"It's evident that Chief Zhao of the Daoist Comrce Association, or the person behind him, has guessed my identity."*
*After stepping out from the Daoist Comrce Association, Bai Ziyue's face showed an uncertain expression.*
*This was definitely not good news for him.*
*However, after so thought, he was relieved.*
*As one of the top Immortal Technique Influences of the current age, it wasn't beyond imagination for the Daoist Comrce Association to deduce his identity through various signs.*
*He never underestimated the power of the Ten Great Immortal Technique Forces.*
*Especially since they had direct contact with him.*
*"From the fact that they inford about Wang Xuezhi of the Nine-star Daoist Palace, True Venerable Mo Fan of the Celestial Spirit Sect, and the infiltration of Demonic Powerhouses, it seems they bear no malice towards ."*
*"It seems more like a deliberate warning."*
Bai Ziyue quickly reached this conclusion.
*His heart was slightly at ease.*
*Unless necessary, he truly didn't want to provoke another great power.*
*Especially one like the Daoist Comrce Association, whose strength surpassed even the Nine-star Daoist Palace.*
