Chapter 118 - Payment & Departure (2/2)

At this news, very few were surprised. With Ming Shen's talent and resources at his disposal, it's highly possible for him to ascend to the True Essence Realm with the pill, if anything, he'll reach the half-step True Essence Realm. His future was potentially limitless.

Yan Zaizen was leisurely relaxing in a cotton-cushioned couch, his posture was the epitome of laziness. There was a wine flagon in his right hand and a bowl of grapes that gave off a faint emerald luster. After the auction, he decided to stay in the Grand Bless Inn for the week. Its services were impeccable. The food, furniture, and formations completely satisfied his desires.

Neither Bai Lufeng or Tao was located within his room. They were located elsewhere, handling whatever types of business on the outside, and gathering information. Initially, Yan Zaizen intended to continue sightseeing, but with some convincing from Tao, he decided to just use his spiritual sense to inspect all places possible.

It was definitely a lazy type of sightseeing, but it was exciting. Currently, Yan Zaizen was spectating two individuals who were having an argument over a woman. It seemed she was playing them both, but with their pride, how could they find fault with her? They obviously took fault in the other man, as if they specifically had the intention of snatching their woman.

They started coming to blows, erupting with their somewhat even cultivation base and fought viciously. Initially, it was only a slight sparring of dominance, but after some sly words from the woman and insults being thrown later, they started to fight with the intent to kill.

To his surprise, as both of the men were near the end of their rope, about to concede for the day, the woman and another man had taken this opportunity to besiege both with strikes. In their moment of weakness, they were both slain with shocked expressions. The man and woman kissed each other over their corpses, quickly robbing them of their spatial objects to even their shoes and burning their bodies to leave no evidence.

”Tch. This place truly is vicious.” Yan Zaizen commented. It's been only six days and he'd seen a myriad of schemes be created and executed. Some of them failed, some of them succeeded, but they were all revealing of human nature. It's a wonder what people will do when they believe no one's watching. However, recalling the Deep Mines, the murder and suicides that happened there, it wasn't much better.

In there, individuals killed for an extra day of life.

In there, they killed themselves for peace.

A soft resplendent light emanated from Yan Zaizen's spatial ring, the sign of a transmission being received by others. Yan Zaizen found it intriguing that spatial rings have their own specific relay signal, as long as someone is given the appropriate signal, they can crush a transmission talisman to send a one-way message.

However, if one buys a special talisman, they can communicate two-way without crushing, but depending on the distance, the delay for the message would extend in duration. How could he know of these miraculous things and not instantly buy them?

He checked his message, ”Young Lord Zai, the spatial platform is ready. We leave in five minutes.” The voice came from Bai Lufeng.

”It's about time!” Stretching rather lazily, Yan Zaizen took a step forward, slowly merging with the surroundings as an indiscernible popping sound resounded. His proficiency in Infinite Chaotic Immersion Art was being enhanced, not only in the ease of usage, but also how it could be used. Before, Yan Zaizen required his spiritual sense to exist outside, roaming about, and helping to determine his exit point. Now, however, he could feel faint characteristics of his immediate surroundings without spiritual sense within chaotic space.

This may seem like a small step, but it was enormous. This removed the possibilities of his spiritual sense being distinguished beforehand, and someone predicting his exit point, immediately striking to eliminate him as a result. There still, however, was a vital weakness.

Distance.

With this method, he consumed a lot of his qi-essence to gain knowledge of the outside within chaotic space. His qi cultivation base truly was too shallow for such an advanced application of spatial manipulation. This would likely continue until he ascends to the Origin Core Realm.

”I wonder...what will be my bloodline?” His mind was slowly distracted as he arrived within a dark area of chaotic space that seemed indistinguishable from the rest. However, to Yan Zaizen, he could feel his spiritual sense aura emanating from Tao and Bai Lufeng's transmission talismans. A single step forward.

Pop.

Casually appearing beside Tao like a ghost, Yan Zaizen looked at his surroundings. The continental spatial platform was exceptionally large, about the base of an actual mountain, and the people surrounding it was as numerous as ants in a colony. Tao, acting as if Yan Zaizen was always beside him, explained, ”Our departure time to the Dead Soul Desert in Xiantu Continent is in a few minutes.”

Yan Zaizen nodded, his eyes suffused with excitement.

”Finally, the myriad realms awaits!”
