Chapter 533 - Danzhou In The Spiritual Realm (1/2)

The Spiritual Realm was the upper realm known by countless people in the lower realm.

Spiritualists were not innumerable in this realm, but they were not rare at all. This was because the universe’s spiritual power was incredibly rich in this realm, and it could not be imagined by the people from the lower realm at all.

One could certainly yield twice the result by doing half the work if one cultivated in the Spiritual Realm. Most importantly, due to the difference in the richness of the universe’s spiritual power, powerhouses that enter the Spirit Grade in this realm would not be tested by the Heavenly Thunderbolts.

The Heavenly Punishment would only be a concern for the Venerable Ones.

Danzhou.

This was a plot of land in the Spiritual Realm, and the Humans and the Demons there were well-matched in strength. They had been fighting each other for years and had their fair shares of wins and losses.

Among the Humans, 9 great sects or inherited aristocratic families had been dominating Danzhou for the past century, and they were the pillar of the people. On this day, the top-notch powerhouses from the 9 sects gathered at the peak of Mount Wuzhi.

The peak had been flattened by an unknown powerhouse long ago, where big buildings and pavilions were even built. It became a luxurious place.

Inside the biggest tall building, 9 Venerable Ones sat on the ground.

The best dishes in the Spiritual Realm were laid out in front of them, by which innate spiritual Qi could be found in them. It was worth noting that the dishes were extremely rare even in this realm, but the powerhouses did not pay attention to them at all.

At the center of the group was Lingfeng the Venerable One, which was also the lord of Mount Wuzhi. He was a thin man, and faint lights could be seen in his eyes when he blinked.

Lingfeng the Venerable One sighed when he looked at the people who were either meditating or wandering in outer s.p.a.ce in front of him. “Fellow friends, my disciple has offered the salutation, and you’ve all voted in favor of it. Now, let’s discuss how we should treat Ou Yangming from the lower realm.”

A cold voice was suddenly heard after a brief moment. “What do you think, fellow Lingfeng?”

The person that spoke was Hualing the Venerable One from the Huafeng Pavilion. He was not superb as compared to the other Venerable Ones, but he had exceptional personal connections, hence n.o.body dared to offend him easily.

Lingfeng the Venerable One pondered and answered, “From my perspective, since that young fella can help us from the lower realm, we don’t need to be too stingy, so I think we can offer him 0.2% of our profit.”

“Heh, isn’t 0.2% too much?” Hualing the Venerable One smiled faintly. “How dare a mere Spirit Grade cultivator threaten us? He doesn’t know his place.”

He spoke casually, but he did not hide his strong killing intent at all.

Given their ident.i.ties, it was difficult for ordinary Spirit Grade cultivators to meet them, so how could a fellow that advanced to Spirit Grade by luck in the lower realm have the guts to make a request? If the fellow was right beside him at the moment, he would have slapped him to death right away.

“Fellow Hualing, without their cooperation in the lower realm, we might not be able to build the pa.s.sage at all.” Lingfeng the Venerable One furrowed his eyebrows and added after a pause, “Anything can happen in the vast and endless s.p.a.ce. Without absolute confidence, I’m sure you won’t risk it, right?”

As mentioned by him, if they wanted to build the pa.s.sage but only searched from one side, not only would it waste time and energy, but there would not be a high success rate. If both sides worked together, the situation would be entirely different.

“Fellow Lingfeng, rewards and punishments must be given where they’re due—this is what we base ourselves on.” Hualing the Venerable One grinned. “Since that young fellow from the lower realm can help us build the pa.s.sage, it’ll be fine for us to reward him, but he also needs to be punished because he offended us. How do you think he should be punished, my fellow friends?” He glanced at the others with a smile.

“Haha.” An elder with a gorgeous tall crown laughed. “Since that fella’s so impolite, let’s just turn him into ashes.”

The other people did not bat an eyelid as though they were indifferent toward the matter.

In actuality, why would they care about a Spiritualist from the lower realm?

Lingfeng the Venerable One’s face darkened. “Fellow Taihe, it doesn’t seem appropriate for us to act in bad faith.”

Taihe the Venerable One expressed, “Who does the fella think he is? How can he negotiate with us? Since he’s courting death, why don’t we just fulfill his wish?”

The Venerable One was from the Sword Sect. He was one of the best powerhouses among them, so much so that even Lingfeng the Venerable One dared not say he could defeat him.

Lingfeng the Venerable One looked around and sighed. He initially wanted to keep it a secret but judging from the situation, it seemed like he could not hide it anymore.

“Fellow Lingfeng, I’m quite curious about the reason you’re treating that fellow differently. Why did you suggest that we offer him such a big portion of our profit?” Hualing the Venerable One blurted. He raised his eyebrows and questioned, “Could it be that the fella has another deal with Mount Wuzhi?”

“You’re going overboard, Fellow Hualing. Don’t you know the kind of person fellow Lingfeng is?” A grim-looking man suddenly opened his eyes and remarked. He scoffed and added, “In my opinion, we should keep our word. Hmph, if someone isn’t sincere and anyhow breaks promises, I can’t be bothered to work with that person.”

Everyone else including Lingfeng the Venerable One was stunned, and they looked at him in disbelief.

After some time, Hualing the Venerable One asked, “Zhiming the Venerable One, what do you mean?”
