Chapter 298: The Small Stick That Crosses Three Great Chiliocosms, Jiang Ming Is Stunned

In the depths of the palace, there was a spacious area.

Jiang Ming and Riyue Changfeng were sitting on a lotus platform. They were floating on top of a sea, and the mountain ranges in the distance were emitting a brilliant light.

There was a desk in between them, and the air was filled with the fragrance of the tea.

“Brother Riyue, I have good stuff here!” Jiang Ming said as he took out the stone monument that Ao Long had given him,

The stone monument was standing at the height of a normal human. It looked ancient, and its many scars made it look like it had existed for more than a billion years.

There was a depiction of a sword in the center. At a single glance, the sword intents in it seemed to be able to cut through one’s Primal Spirit and destroy one’s will.

It was a Sage-level sword technique.

“Can you appraise it?” Jiang Ming pointed at it.

Riyue Changfeng’s eyes glowed. Signs began to appear in his eyes as he peered into the material of the stone monument and analyzed the essence contained within.

He tapped the stone monument with his finger again, and various lights appeared.

“Awesome! This is terrific!” Riyue Changfeng couldn’t help himself and exclaimed, “This stone monument is made from a material known as the Triple Terra Gold. In the great chiliocosm, it’s considered a great material to forge a Quasi-Sage Weapon. This stone monument is of great value by looking at the material alone.

“Of course, for the billions and billions of living beings across the universe, this stone monument is priceless.

“However, these values have no meaning to me!

“This stone monument carries the residual Holy Dao of a great world, the worldly Qi, origin essence, faith, law, hope, as well as the decaying energy after the destruction of the world. Hope and disappointment, creation and death, faith and corruption, light and dark… There are too many of them. For me, this is of immense value!

“If you only consider the stone monument and the sword technique, its value is equal to that of a primary Quasi-Sage Weapon.

“But with all the things I mentioned just now, its value can be increased by ten times!

“The value of this stone monument is 10 primary Quasi-Sage Weapons. It’s even more valuable than a Demi-Sage Dao Vessel.

“So, are you going to sell it for 10 primary Quasi-Sage Weapons?” Riyue Changfeng asked, his eyes glowing with excitement.

“Can’t you extract its Dao fluctuations?” Jiang Ming asked.

“Well, yes and no!” Riyue Changfeng shook his head. He picked up the cup of tea and continued. “I’m nothing but a dealer here. For everything I’ve traded here, there is a wiggle room when it comes to price according to different grades of items. This is also my secret to making some pocket money as well. Of course, the more business I do and the higher the value of the items I get, the more contribution points I’ll receive.”

“Are you sure it’s okay for you to tell me all of these?”

“Haha, you’re my VIP customer. Of course, I’ll tell you everything unless it involves some core secrets.”

“I’ll trade it with you after I’ve mastered the sword technique on the stone monument!”

“Sure!”

“Brother Riyue, then how about this flame? How much do you think it’s worth?”

Jiang Ming stored the stone monument away and flipped his palm. A plume of fire appeared at the center of his palm, and at that moment, a gush of heat energy swept across the surrounding area.

Riyue Changfeng’s eyes glowed, and he stared at the fire. After a long while, he said, “This is a Worldly Flame. It’s the source of fire of a great chiliocosm, the source of civilization, the source of life, or the source of all things! This thing is good!”

“Terrific!” Jiang Ming gave him a thumbs up.

The fact that he could see through the Worldly Flame’s essence in a single glance showed that he was truly knowledgeable.

“Well, I’ve traveled to more worlds than you have!” Riyue Changfeng laughed. “The value of this Worldly Flame is the same as the stone monument. However, the value of this Worldly Flame will be ten times that of the stone monument if it were to stabilize until the day the world welcomes its destruction.”

“Pretty good!” As Jiang Ming was talking, he pulled out treasures one after another.

Just like Ye Qingxian had said, all of those who could enter the Supreme Pagoda were beings that were loved by their worlds. They had plenty of opportunities, so they would naturally have some good stuff with them.

For example, a small, black, unpleasant stick was surprisingly refined with the male trait of 3,000 different races and infused with the aura of more than 300 million different females.

Moreover, there were traces of three great chiliocosms on the stick, bringing its value to the middle Quasi-Sage Dao Vessel.

Jiang Ming was shocked.

Ye Qingxian had gotten this item with four points. Its value was increased by 250 times, and Riyue Changfeng was willing to trade it with 20 weapons.

Riyue Changfeng also told him that if a man ate the stick, it would invigorate him and make up for his shortcomings.

Jiang Ming felt a new world had opened up before his eyes as Riyue Changfeng appraised those items.

In the end, the appraisal session ended.

Jiang Ming checked through the items in his storage ring and made a rough estimation inwardly.

A smile broke across his face as he said to himself, ‘I guess this is more than enough, and I still have plenty more left. But I have to say that the profit of monopolizing the market is truly astonishing.’

Riyue Changfeng sighed, “I’m happy that you have reached the target in such a short time, but I don’t know why I feel so depressed.”

“Why do you feel depressed? With so many items, the Holy Dao is just right before you,” Jiang Ming laughed, “Once you’ve entered the Holy Dao, you’ll attain immortality. What could be compared to that? Besides, it’s a seedling that takes an unknown number of years to mature and manifest its true value. Brother Riyue, you’ve earned big this time!”

“For you, you surely have earned a hundred times more than I have!” Riyue Changfeng said while shaking his head. “Anyway, this thing will only manifest its true value when it’s placed in the hands of someone like you who cultivates the World Dao.”

As he was talking, he pulled the Chaotic Tree’s seedling out. He studied it for a while and continued. “Although the value of these things is enough, to be on the safe side, can you give me the stone monument as well after you’ve finished comprehending the sword technique on it? Of course, I’ll give you an item of equal value in return.”

“It’s a deal then!” Jiang Ming said with a smile, “If you still need more, I can continue to help you collect, provided that you have enough good stuff!”

Riyue Changfeng’s eyes glowed, and then he narrowed them. “What do you need in return?”

“Quasi-Sage Weapons, Demi-Sage Dao Vessels, Holy Dao treasures, Holy Dao secret techniques, special abilities, formations, immortal roots, spiritual roots, and so on!” As he sipped on the tea, Jiang Ming said, “The more, the better.”

“The more, the better?” The corner of Riyue Changfeng’s lips quivered.

Initially, he was the one who needed these items, but now it was the other way around.

He was considered wealthy in every great chiliocosm. After all, he had traveled to many different worlds and even had the resources allocated by the headquarters.

But now…

The man in front of him was even wealthier than he was.

“I’ll start the auction in another month. Since your world doesn’t have a Saint Lord, I’m afraid not many people can afford a Quasi-Sage Weapon, let alone a Demi-Sage Dao Vessel. From what I’ve seen so far, the most purchased items are Holy Dao secret techniques, formations, immortal pills, and so on,” Riyue Changfeng said. “The highest value of the items I give you to trade is a thousand items. This is my limit, and I can’t go any further.”

“Can’t you request your headquarters to send you some?” Jiang Ming asked.

“Through the Chaos?” Riyue Changfeng shook his head. “Don’t you know that the higher the grade of a living being or item, the greater the cost required to teleport across the Chaos? Let’s take the Lord God Space as an example.

“Generally speaking, sending a Taiyi Realm expert is the limit. They will only send over a Great Overarching expert in a very special situation. As for a Quasi-Sage? It’s totally not worth it.”

“I thought the Lord God Space can send whichever beneficiaries they want,” Jiang Ming replied.

However, he felt this was rather reasonable. After all, if the Lord God Space and the Reincarnation Hall could send their beneficiaries to different worlds without any requirement, all universes would fall into chaos.

That being said, things were slightly different when it came to the Supreme Pagoda.

He could trade a Quasi-Sage Weapon with his group members without any cost.

“There are rules even in chaos,” said Riyue Changfeng. “Although the Lord God is almighty, they can’t ignore the rule.”

“You’re right,” Jiang Ming replied. “When will you come here again after you go back this time?”

“You still want to trade with me?”

“Of course! I need more Holy Weapons.”

“Holy Weapon?” The corner of Riyue Changfeng’s mouth quivered. “Even in my current condition, I have only obtained one Holy Weapon. However, I can’t trade it with you as it’s my ace in the sleeve. Once I’ve stepped into the Sage Realm, my level will become higher, and it’ll be easier for us to trade a Holy Weapon.”

“It shouldn’t be that hard for you to sanctify Dao, right? How long do you need?”

“Yes, it isn’t hard, but I don’t know how long it’s going to take. It might take a year or a million years. It depends.”

“A million years?”

“If I need to take a million years, I’m afraid a Holy Weapon has no use for you anymore when the time comes.”

“Well, it’s hard to say. Brother Riyue, can you sanctify Dao in the Time Chamber?”

“Nope. If you want to sanctify Dao, you need to master the rules of the Holy Dao first.”

Jiang Ming was a little bit disappointed when he heard what Riyue Changfeng said.

After a short while, just when Jiang Ming was about to leave, Riyue Changfeng reminded him, “It seems to me that a storm is coming.”

“What do you mean?” Jiang Ming froze. “The Abyss? The fact that the Heavenly Emperor could rule over the universe means he’s both powerful and sagacious. Do you really think the Abyss can defeat him?”

“In a world without a Saint Lord, the Heavenly Emperor’s status is way too high,” said Riyue Changfeng. “Destruction pursues the great. If there’s a Saint Lord, they will handle everything. When the Saint Lord isn’t around, the remaining are all Quasi-Sages, and no one will submit to anyone. Even a Demi-Sage is considered a Quasi-Sage, and they can be killed! There are too many races and forces across the universes. Once something goes wrong, destruction will follow. Brother Jiang, you need to be careful!”

“You’re right.” Jiang Ming nodded. “But as long as they don’t disturb me, I won’t do anything.”

After that, he left with the Chaotic Tree’s seedling.

“What a strange person!” Riyue Changfeng waved his arm and closed the door. “The Great Demon Venerate is very good at hiding secrets. When you learn about it, I’m afraid you won’t be so calm anymore, Brother Jiang. But anyway, this is a good chance to see his true strength.”
