Chapter 1240: 1244 Tianbao Marketplace

"I wonder which sect Taoist Friend Qian hails from? We are not well-informed, as we haven’t heard of Taoist Friend Qian."

Wu Yang politely inquired.

"I have no sect or faction, just like you, I come from a Loose Immortal background."

Shen Long calmly stated.

"A Loose Immortal?"

Wu Yang and Ye Yan exchanged glances, clearly not believing this explanation. However, since Shen Long was unwilling to reveal his background, they couldn’t press further.

"I would like to spar with Taoist Friend Qian. Would you oblige?"

Wu Yang asked.

"Sure! I also wish to experience Taoist Friend Wu’s Divine Skills."

Shen Long agreed.

Wu Yang’s right hand shone with blue light as he cleaved toward the void.

A loud tearing sound echoed as the void split open, forming a large crack, and a gigantic blue blade light swept out, dividing the sea and causing massive waves to rise.

Shen Long’s right fist emitted a radiant gold light as he threw a punch.

The void shattered as a golden giant fist flashed out and collided with the blue blade light.

With a loud boom, the blue blade light shattered the golden giant fist and continued toward Shen Long.

Shen Long’s body emitted a blinding red light, engulfing his figure, and a massive red blade light swept out, clashing with the blue blade light.

The blue blade light was shredded like paper by the red blade light.

Wu Yang’s expression changed, and he hurriedly summoned a blue flying dagger, transforming it into a long blue arc that met the attack.

The blue arc collided with the red blade light and was cleaved in two like an egg against a stone.

"A Hongmeng Immortal Artifact!"

Wu Yang and Ye Yan’s expressions drastically changed as they quickly dodged.

The red blade light slashed through gigantic waves, splitting them in two.

The red light dissipated, revealing Shen Long with a calm expression.

He intentionally displayed his strength, aiming to quickly integrate into the circle of Taiyi Golden Immortals through sheer power.

The Heavenly Flame Saber had absorbed a large amount of rare fire attribute materials, nearly reaching the level of a Superior Immortal Artifact, which was why its power was so great; a newly formed Middle Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact wouldn’t hold such might.

"I concede, Taoist Friend Wu."

Shen Long cupped his fists and said.

"Taoist Friend Qian’s strength is astonishing, I am impressed. Are you also attending the auction hosted by Tianbao Immortal Alliance? I’ve heard that the Seven Stars Dispersing Thunder Talisman is for sale among many other treasures."

Wu Yang politely inquired.

"I am also attending the auction. If you two don’t mind, shall we travel together and exchange insights?"

Shen Long extended the invitation.

The famous duo of Chiyang Immortals had been renowned for years. If they vouched for him, Shen Long could more quickly integrate into the circle of Taiyi Golden Immortals and expand his network.

"Haha, we were thinking the same, it would be our pleasure."

Wu Yang laughed heartily and, along with Ye Yan, flew onto the golden colossal ship.

Shen Long picked up the teapot and poured them each a cup, enjoying leisurely tea and conversation.

Shen Chan executed his spell, and the golden colossal ship flew into the sky, soon vanishing into the horizon.

Over two months later, the golden colossal ship reached the Tianbao Sea Domain.

"Taoist Friend Qian, having cultivated the Strength Law to Great Achievement during the Golden Immortal Phase, truly enviable."

Wu Yang remarked in admiration.

Most Golden Immortal cultivators, upon ascending to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage, find their laws only at a minor accomplishment. Achieving great accomplishment requires a lot of time.

Wu Yang ascended to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Stage and spent over ten million years reaching great accomplishment in three laws, even with external aids.

There was no other way, as he hadn’t brought any law to great accomplishment during the Golden Immortal Phase, not even one.

"Indeed! To reach great accomplishment in a law during the Golden Immortal Phase is quite impressive."

Ye Yan agreed.

They had no inkling that Shen Long had cultivated three laws to great accomplishment during the Golden Immortal Phase.

"Cultivating the Strength Law to great accomplishment during the Golden Immortal Phase is no big deal; perfecting a law is the true challenge. I wonder if this auction will offer resources to support Taiyi Golden Immortal’s law cultivation."

Shen Long chuckled.

"Resources to aid Taiyi Golden Immortal law cultivation? You have ambitious thoughts, friend."

A dignified male voice echoed from the sky.

As the words finished, a mass of yellow light surged in the void ahead, suddenly condensing into an ample-bellied elder in a yellow robe.

The elder was round-faced, small-eyed, and fair-skinned, with an aura vast as the seas, possessing Taiyi Golden Immortal Late Stage cultivation.

"Qiantu Immortal Lord!"

Shen Long recognized the elder’s identity.

The Information Hall of Myriad Beasts Sect held portraits of many high-rank cultivators, including Qiantu Immortal Lord.

Qiantu Immortal Lord also originated from a Loose Immortal background, yet he established a sect, Huangsha Sect, that has persisted for millions of years.

"Taoist Friend Chen, it’s you! Long time no see."

Wu Yang greeted.

"Years have passed, and you’re still at Taiyi Golden Immortal Middle Stage, it seems you haven’t resolved your bottleneck."

Qiantu Immortal Lord briefly commented, his gaze falling upon Shen Long as he queried, "This friend seems unfamiliar, what should I call you?"

"I am Qian Feng, greetings to Taoist Friend Chen."

Shen Long announced his name.

"Qian Feng?"

Qiantu Immortal Lord looked pensive, confirming he hadn’t heard of this name.

He didn’t linger on Shen Long but addressed Wu Yang, "Taoist Friend Wu, do you have news of Madam Xu?"

"No, it’s been over ten million years without news of her, do you also not know her whereabouts?"

Wu Yang was surprised.

"No, she may have perished under the fourth minor heavenly tribulation."

Qiantu Immortal Lord speculated.

Many Taiyi Golden Immortals hadn’t fallen to formidable foes but under the fourth minor heavenly tribulation.

"Let’s discuss later, I’ll head into the marketplace first."

Qiantu Immortal Lord finished speaking and transformed into a yellow escape light, disappearing through the void.

Shen Long wore a thoughtful expression and directed Shen Chan to continue onward.

Two hours later, the golden colossal ship slowed, revealing a vast island looming ahead, with a towering city upon it. Its walls stood over thirty thousand meters high, like an insurmountable mighty mountain blocking their path.

A square golden plaque hung above the city gate, glimmering with Immortal Light, and inscribed with "Tianbao Marketplace" in bold characters. Judging from the Immortal Yuan Qi fluctuations, the plaque was a Superior Immortal Artifact.

As the largest business alliance in the Green Lotus Immortal Domain, Tianbao Immortal Alliance’s operations sprawled across multiple Immortal Domains, wielding immense financial power.

"Taoist Friend Qian, we have arrived at Tianbao Marketplace."

Ye Yan stated.

They flew toward Tianbao Marketplace, Shen Chan storing the golden colossal ship as he and Shen Long entered the marketplace.

Tianbao Marketplace’s streets were broad and immaculate, with buildings galore. Shen Long nodded appreciatively, noting that in terms of scale, Tianbao Marketplace was the largest he had visited, bar none.

The bustling streets were filled with pedestrians, including numerous Taiyi Golden Immortals visible at a glance.

As the auction drew closer, a vast number of Taiyi Golden Immortals gathered at Tianbao Marketplace, spurring its prosperity.

Wu Yang and Ye Yan bid farewell and separated, heading toward a bustling street.

Shen Long and Shen Chan parted ways, with Shen Long wandering and observing.

After a short while, Shen Long stood before an eighteen-story golden tower. The plaque read "Wanbing Tower" in bold characters, and numerous Immortals were coming and going.

He strode inside, confronted by rows of towering shelves, laden with an array of Immortal Artifacts of varied designs.
