Chapter 2063: Chapter 915: Cangyun South City, Cyan Shadow Ascends to Honor_2

Upon entering South City, Han Yi saw a bustling market, but the sheer size of this market was beyond his imagination.

There were god-like beings as large as mountains, cloaked in animal pelts. They placed steep divine peaks behind their backs, leaning against them, half-squinting as they dozed off. In front of these divine beings, a dozen items were displayed.

Blood-stained colorful sailcloth, rusty iron bars, sharp bladeless knives, mysterious floating light orbs...

The aura interwoven among these items was unpredictable and clearly extraordinary at a glance.

In front of these dozen items, hundreds of cultivators stood, using various methods to inspect the items, hoping to find a bargain.

There was a mysterious high tower emitting a halo, with a Tao stele beneath it. The stele was inscribed with the rules for entering the tower in Chaos Characters: entering required payment of a hundred origin crystals or equivalent value in treasures.

After entering the high tower, there was a chance to obtain the inheritance of a Realm Venerate or to acquire peak ancient artifacts, or even Realm Venerate Ancient Artifacts.

There stood a towering ordinary pavilion, with a sign above the door inscribed with the Chaos Characters for "Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion," bustling with cultivators coming and going.

This was an ordinary Trading Pavilion.

There was a colossal beast in the shape of a dragon tortoise, bound by massive chains. On the beast’s head sat a tall, slender, and cold cultivator. In front of the beast, a series of golden inscriptions spelled out its name and value.

...

The array of items was dazzling and endless.

Han Yi marveled inwardly.

However, whether it was those huge god-like beings, the high tower, or the dragon tortoise with its rider, they were all only at the Peak Venerate Level and hadn’t broken through to the realm of Realm Venerate.

Despite their imposing size and terrifying aura, their behavior essentially didn’t differ from that in an ordinary cultivation market in the Daluo Immortal Realm.

Han Yi walked through the air, heading deeper into Cangyun South City.

The Master of Purple Mountain had given him information along with a trace of the Master of Origin’s aura. Following this guidance would allow Han Yi to find the Master of Origin.

The purpose was to have Han Yi come to Cangyun South City and assist by the side of the Master of Origin. After all, Han Yi now possessed half-step Venerate combat strength and could provide significant aid to the Master of Origin.

The internal space of Cangyun South City was vast, equivalent to ten Tiaoist Spirit Chaos Worlds. Thus, most of the space here was empty chaotic land, mountains, forests, or desolate areas.

While there were bustling markets such as the one he had just entered, they were not many and were relatively concentrated.

As Han Yi crossed several boundless swamps and approached a huge mountain range, he suddenly stopped because, in the depths of this mountain range, a grand and ancient aura emanated.

At the same time, a thunderous snoring sound came from the depths of the mountains.

Han Yi’s eyes glinted with divine light, his vision piercing through the infinite forest to see a colossal beast coiled in the depths of the mountain range.

The aura of this beast made Han Yi’s heart grow solemn.

This was clearly a half-step Venerate-level beast, and Han Yi stopped because this mountain range was within the beast’s territory. Stepping in would be an intrusion, surely waking the beast.

He pondered for a moment and chose not to stir up trouble. Although his combat power was at the half-step Venerate level, he was not belligerent. It’s known that some half-step Transcendents were not weaker than true Eternal Transcendents. Encountering such an unparalleled half-step Venerate, he might not survive.

Thus, he decided to detour around.

Just as he was detouring past the enormous mountain range, at the edge of a vast Gobi, he was stopped.

The ones who stopped him were three cultivators in brown Tao robes.

The aura of these three cultivators was consistent, clearly from the same force.

"This area is the sect land of the Cyan Shadow Sect, Daoist friend, please go around."

One of the three cultivators in brown robes said to Han Yi.

Han Yi looked up at the vast Gobi. Under his divine eyes, he saw a huge divine mountain coiled within the Gobi. The divine mountain was wrapped in divine light; although he couldn’t see clearly, he understood that the Cyan Shadow Sect, able to isolate his divine sight, surely had a half-step Venerate overseeing it.

He cupped his hands and was about to continue detouring.

He had already anticipated that within Cangyun South City, there were bound to be various forces, some even established by half-step Transcendent Realm Venerables. After all, South City was vast, and the seven City Lords couldn’t occupy all the land. The rest could be claimed by the first comer, based on strength.

Whether in the Tiaoist Spirit Chaos World, Suyun Mountain, Cangyun Ring Land, or Cangyun South City, the cultivation world followed one rule: the strong dominate.

The other party was a half-step Transcendence Realm Venerate force, and he was not an overbearing person. Detouring was normal, especially since he was not in a hurry.

But just then, the cultivator who had spoken earlier flashed a sharp gaze and stomped heavily. Beneath the edge of the Gobi, vast spirit light surged up, encompassing an area of a million miles.

"Attack!!"

Simultaneously, the three cultivators blocking Han Yi shouted in unison, launching an attack. Their ancient artifacts burst with powerful auras, striking towards Han Yi.

As the elders of the Cyan Shadow Sect, these three cultivators occasionally attacked solo cultivators passing by, eager to earn some spoils. With the sect’s array extension and their peak Venerate Level combat power, countless cultivators had perished in their hands over the innumerable years.

But this time, the first cultivator to strike was immediately shocked.

Because the beam from his ancient artifact was easily deflected by the targeted cultivator, sent flying to explode on the Gobi, causing the array’s spirit light to waver.

The other two elders’ attacks were equally ineffective. One used a curse technique, but it was like a drop of water falling into the ocean when it hit Han Yi, leaving no trace. The third elder used a sharp Heavenly Venerate Sword Technique.

But as the sword light neared Han Yi’s divine body, it slowed and then shattered into fragments, raining down light below.

"Such a strong cultivator, let’s withdraw!"

The three Cyan Shadow Sect elders, seeing the situation changing, quickly retreated towards the distant Gobi Divine Mountain.

In their eyes, though this peak Venerate cultivator was strong, he was nowhere near their sect master. Therefore, he would definitely not dare to chase into the Cyan Shadow Sect’s domain, and could only tolerate it.

In the past, two similar incidents had occurred, and those two cultivators could only watch the three escape, not daring to pursue them into the Cyan Shadow Sect.

They didn’t expect that this time, they provoked someone they shouldn’t have.

Behind them, Han Yi’s eyes gleamed with cold light.

He drew his Slaughtering Spirit Divine Sword and swung it forward. The sword light swept across, slicing open the array, instantly killing the three escaping cultivators. Blood splattered, staining the Gobi red.

After slaying the three with one stroke, Han Yi slightly raised his gaze toward the center of the Gobi where a divine mountain stood and saw a shadowy figure emerging from it.

It was termed a shadow since it had no facial features, no Tao robe, just like a mere shadow, very strange.

A shadow transforming into Tao?

This was the first time Han Yi encountered such an unusual half-step Transcendence.

"So, the Cyan Shadow Sect’s founder is a shadow that became a half-step Transcendence Realm Venerable."

The shadow emerging from the divine mountain gazed at Han Yi. Han Yi sensed that the gaze first landed on him, then on the Slaughtering Spirit Divine Sword in his hand.

Soon, a majestic Tao sound emanated from the shadow, echoing around Han Yi, seemingly with endless pressure approaching from all sides.

"Daoist friend, why did you kill the elders of my sect?"

With this sound came spirit light rising from the divine mountain, transforming into a sky-reaching giant hand, grasping at Han Yi.

Han Yi didn’t waste words. His figure flickered, divine body expanded to a height of over fifty thousand feet, and he swung his divine sword forward.

The sword light was sharp, the cold light dazzling the sky.

The giant hand grasping in mid-air shattered upon contact with the light.
