Chapter 1 Yibo City

Yibo City was the most prosperous city in the Great Mo Eternal World. Its history was incredibly ancient, existing since the very beginning of this eternal world. It was founded by Emperor Yibo. Both Celestial Lord Tiangu and Great Mo were latecomers. Although they established forces within this eternal world, Yibo City had always been the most flourishing city.

More than a thousand World Realm cultivators resided there permanently. Many World Realm cultivators from the Great Mo Territory had small businesses there. Of course, the biggest businesses were controlled by Great Mo.

"A million *li* high mountain..." Jiang Xuan looked up at the sky. The towering Celestial Peak soared into the clouds, a mountain a million *li* high. At the summit, above the clouds, was a massive city: Yibo City.

The rule of the Great Mo Eternal World was "no flying," so even with a mountain a million *li* high, it was impossible to fly over it. One could only climb slowly.

Fortunately, he was a Zumo, and a million *li* wasn’t too far for him. After a few words, he reached the summit.

The mountaintop itself was only a few hundred *li* in circumference, yet it supported a city that spanned hundreds of thousands of *li*. Only the bottom of the city was anchored to the summit, making it appear to be floating.

Following a winding mountain road, Jiang Xuan arrived before Yibo City. The city walls bore the characters "Yibo."

These two characters possessed a unique mystery. Jiang Xuan didn't look closely, the difference in their levels was too great. It would be embarrassing to be countered.

Entering Yibo City, he saw cultivators from all over the Great Mo Territory. A region of space had countless civilizations, and in Yibo City, one could witness the collision of these civilizations.

Moreover, Zumo and Zuxian were everywhere in Yibo City, and True Gods and True Immortals were as common as hairs on an ox.

Jiang Xuan soon arrived at a dazzling palace that occupied a vast area and radiated endless light. The entire palace emitted waves of energy, each representing a Dao armament. More than a hundred were visible.

"What would you like to buy, Daoist friend?" A purple-robed female immortal with the aura of a Zuxian asked with a smile as soon as Jiang Xuan entered.

However, before Jiang Xuan could speak, an old man in white robes and white hair walked out, "Haha, Junior Brother Taixuan, what brings you here?"

"Greetings, Senior Brother Faheng," Jiang Xuan said. This was a Chaos Immortal, also a disciple of Great Mo Academy and already at the perfected stage. He was currently in temporary management of this Myriad Treasures Palace.

The purple-robed female immortal was also shocked. A Zumo or Zuxian who could become a Great Mo Academy disciple was at least a near-monster-level talent. She never expected to actually encounter one today.

"What brings you here today, Junior Brother?" Immortal Faheng asked with a smile. Jiang Xuan was quite famous in the Great Mo Academy. A Zumo or Zuxian who could become a second-class, high-grade disciple had a higher status than some top World Realm disciples and astonishing potential. They were happy to befriend him.

"I want to buy some treasures," Jiang Xuan said with a smile.

"Alright, Junior Brother, tell me what kind of treasures you want." Immortal Faheng had been managing the Myriad Treasures Palace this Chaos Cycle. No one knew what was available better than him.

"I'm mainly looking for three types of treasures: time-related items, saber weapons, and Chaos Divine Lightning. Do you have any recommendations, Senior Brother?" Jiang Xuan thought for a moment. He had only planned to buy time-related treasures, but since he was out, he might as well buy everything he needed.

"Haha, of course, I do." Immortal Faheng waved his hand, and several streams of light broke through the restrictions and flew to him.

"This is the Taihao Pagoda, a supreme-grade Chaos Treasure that can maintain up to ten thousand times time acceleration. However, you're a Zumo, so a thousand times should be most suitable... This is the Years Grotto Heaven, a supreme-grade Chaos Treasure containing a small world that can also maintain up to ten thousand times time acceleration..."

Immortal Faheng introduced Jiang Xuan to five types of time-related Chaos Treasures, all of supreme grade. He knew that Jiang Xuan had been to the Ancient Azure Remnants and brought back a World Realm exotic beast, so buying supreme-grade Chaos Treasures was easy for him.

"Senior Brother, I'll take both the Taihao Pagoda and the Years Grotto Heaven," Jiang Xuan decided. Time-related Chaos Treasures were much more expensive than ordinary ones, but each only cost a hundred bottles of Chaos Spirit Liquid, which was easy for Jiang Xuan.

"Why do you need two, Junior Brother?" Immortal Faheng asked, puzzled. If it were someone else, he wouldn't ask. More sales meant more profit. But Jiang Xuan was his junior brother, so he wanted to understand.

"I have a second primordial spirit," Jiang Xuan said with a smile. He only needed to keep one for himself. The other could be sent back to the Three Realms for other clones to use, which would also help them improve their strength faster.

"I see," Immortal Faheng nodded and released the restrictions on the two Chaos Treasures, instructing the purple-robed female immortal to take them.

After that, Immortal Faheng asked, "What level of saber weapon are you looking for, Junior Brother?"

"Dao armament, or a saber array," Jiang Xuan replied. His second primordial spirit practiced Qi Refining, so a saber array would be more suitable, maximizing the second primordial spirit's strength.

Immortal Faheng nodded and summoned several streams of light, "This is a supreme-grade Dao armament. I see that you cultivate the Dao of Time and Space, so this 'Yuanxu Saber' is most suitable for perfectly bearing the power of Time and Space... This 'Immortal Slaughtering Saber Array' is also a supreme-grade Dao armament, composed of three hundred and sixty-five flying sabers. It's best to control it with the Five Elements Dao to achieve endless generation..."

This was precisely the benefit of being a Great Mo Academy disciple. If it were anyone else, Immortal Faheng would never introduce the items in such detail. But since it was Jiang Xuan, he would help him choose.

In the end, Jiang Xuan bought both the Yuanxu Saber and the Immortal Slaughtering Saber Array, both supreme-grade Dao armaments. The price of Dao armaments generally ranged from tens to hundreds of Chaos Spirit Liquid, depending on the type and function.

For example, the Immortal Slaughtering Saber Array: each of the three hundred plus flying sabers were supreme-grade Dao armaments. Although each saber was small, they couldn't be priced the same as ordinary Dao armaments. Thus, the total value reached nearly seven hundred *fang*.

"The Myriad Treasures Palace currently has a lot of Chaos Divine Lightning. If I'm not mistaken, you're planning to cultivate the *Yuan Yi Secret Art* from the Celestial Evolution Pavilion, right?" Immortal Faheng asked with a smile. He had been in the Great Mo Academy for a long time and knew about the various inheritances within the academy, even if he hadn't cultivated them himself.

"That's right," Jiang Xuan didn't hide it. The second level of the Great Mo Academy only had one Lightning Dao secret art: the *Yuan Yi Secret Art*. This secret art also had upper and lower parts. The upper part allowed the user to refine six types of Chaos Divine Lightning into the body, greatly increasing the strength of the original body.

The lower part, however, allowed the user to refine six types of Dao Divine Lightning, but it was beyond Jiang Xuan's current ability to cultivate. Moreover, he didn't have it. The second level of the Celestial Evolution Pavilion only had the upper part of this secret art. The lower part was on the third level.

"I see that you've already completed the upper part of your *Mixed Origin Divine Power*. Your physical body is comparable to a top-grade Primordial Treasure, so it should be easy to cultivate the first level of the *Yuan Yi Secret Art*. And since you bought time-related treasures this time, you should be able to perfect the *Mixed Origin Divine Power* soon, which should allow you to refine two types of Chaos Divine Lightning..."

Immortal Faheng said, and then a stream of light flew over and landed in his hand, "Inside the Yin-Yang Treasure Pot, there are two types of Chaos Divine Lightning, one Yin and one Yang, which should be most suitable for you."

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Jiang Xuan said. The *Yuan Yi Secret Art* was originally meant for World Realm cultivators and had special rules. Jiang Xuan was only able to refine two types of Chaos Divine Lightning at most due to his strong physical body.

But even two types of Chaos Divine Lightning would be enough to further refine his strength, which was enough for him.

In addition to these main purchases, Jiang Xuan also bought some Chaos Treasures as weapons for his various clones.

"Alright, these treasures total nine hundred and sixty *fang*. But since you're a second-class, high-grade disciple, you're entitled to some discounts, so the total is seven hundred and twenty *fang*. How does that sound, Junior Brother?" Immortal Faheng asked.

"No problem," Jiang Xuan nodded, understanding. The most expensive was the Immortal Slaughtering Saber Array, followed by the Yuanxu Saber, then the Yin-Yang Treasure Pot. The Chaos Treasures were the cheapest.

After paying the Chaos Spirit Liquid and collecting the treasures, Jiang Xuan chatted with Immortal Faheng for a while, learning about the value of various levels of treasures, giving him a better understanding.

After that, Jiang Xuan returned to the Great Mo Academy. After casually setting up a restriction, he entered the Taihao Pagoda.

…

Time flew by. A year had passed outside, but a thousand years had passed inside the Taihao Pagoda.

Beside Jiang Xuan's original body, two figures sat cross-legged: the two clones who had come with him.

"Now that we've practiced the secret arts and our Chaos Golden Cores have reached the first-class level, let's proceed with our plan," Jiang Xuan's original body said. His previous treasure-buying trip was for this very moment.

"Yes, I'll return to the Three Realms as soon as possible to help the other clones improve their strength," one of the clones said. His main purpose in returning to the Three Realms was to help the other clones increase their strength.

"I'll go to Mist Rock Star to monitor the movements of Divine General Xinshen," the other clone said. They needed to keep track of Divine General Xinshen and Old Man Yuan in order to ensure everything went smoothly.

"Mm," Jiang Xuan's original body nodded and looked at the clone who was returning to the Three Realms, giving him a spatial treasure, "I've already placed the Years Grotto Heaven inside, along with other treasures and a thousand *fang* of Chaos Spirit Liquid."

"Alright," this clone accepted. They had spent only about thirty *fang* accelerating their cultivation, expanding their Chaos Golden Cores, and cultivating secret arts using Chaos Spirit Liquid. A thousand *fang* of Chaos Spirit Liquid was definitely enough.

"This side is almost the same. There are several Chaos Treasures and a hundred *fang* of Chaos Spirit Liquid. If you need time-related treasures, you can buy them again," the other clone was going to Mist Rock Star, which was a force hostile to the Black Lotus God Emperor and often clashed with the Black Lotus God Emperor's forces.

Jiang Xuan's original body would stay in the Great Mo Academy. He still had several divine power secret arts to cultivate, and he also needed to comprehend the Heavenly Heart Realm. He wouldn't be leaving the Great Mo Academy anytime soon.
