Chapter 577: Chapter 275: Immortal Palace Disappears, Boundless Corpse Domain_3

In addition to the officially affiliated Purple Cloud Pavilion of the Purple Cloud Sect, there were many other large businesses in the Purple Cloud Immortal City. These large businesses originated from the local Purple Cloud region and were also affiliated with the other six major human forces.

In this world, the seven major human forces were: Purple Cloud Sect, Refining God Hall, Guiyuan Sect, Qianyuan Sect, Heavenly Sea Alliance, Starsdwell Mountain, and Yuxu Sect. All these major forces had their own branch pavilions stationed in Purple Cloud Immortal City.

Han Yi began visiting these branch pavilions, the Gold Core cultivator who told him about the existence of a channel between the two worlds in Jiu Yao City, was from the Tian Hai Pavilion of the Heavenly Sea Alliance.

However, he did not obtain any useful clues in the Tian Hai Pavilion branch in Purple Cloud City. The shopkeeper of the Tian Hai Pavilion was very concerned about Han Yi, even inviting the Nascent Soul shopkeeper of the branch, but the latter was just as confused.

Although he was mentally prepared, Han Yi was still greatly disappointed.

It was only when he visited the Yuxu Sect’s business, the Yuxu Tower, that the shopkeeper finally revealed some information. However, unlike Ni Ce, the shopkeeper directly quoted a price of a hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.

This quotation could already be considered sky-high. The Black Demon Stick, a High-Grade treasure, was barely worth this price.

However, after some consideration, Han Yi still paid the Spirit Stones.

Only then did the shopkeeper, who had a grin on his face, tell Han Yi what he knew about the channels between the two worlds.

“Fellow Daoist, according to our sect records, all the channels between the two worlds in the human territories of Tianquan World, are controlled by a mysterious force. I do not know the name of this mysterious force,” said the shopkeeper.

“However, I do know that the only way to obtain authorization to use the channels between the two worlds is to join the ranks of that mysterious force and become a probationary member or higher. There is no other possibility.”

“I must admit, our Yuxu Sect’s leader is a formal member of that mysterious force. That is why my quotation was so high this time, for the formal members of that mysterious force are all Spirit Transformation Experts, and not just ordinary ones at that.”

“Other than that, there are the probationary members. Only the True Monarch cultivators who have a great reputation for killing a large number of Demon Cultivators in the battle between the two races can gain the attention of this mysterious force, receive their favor, and become probationary members.”

At this point, the Gold Core shopkeeper stopped, and Han Yi frowned slightly.

It wasn’t that his words were not worth the money, but rather that some aspects of what he said were slightly different from what Ni Ce had told him. For example, probationary members also had access to the channels between the two worlds, and only True Monarchs who actively participated in the war between the two races and made significant contributions could gain attention and become probationary members.

However, overall, the information the shopkeeper revealed was not much different from what Ni Ce had said.

Han Yi did not mention the four words ‘Beidou Immortal Palace’, but silently digested the information and asked a few more detailed questions. Since the shopkeeper did not know much, Han Yi had no choice but to stop asking.

As he left Yuxu Tower, Han Yi was already 90% certain about the authenticity of Beidou Immortal Palace.

After that, he inquired at other businesses but gained nothing more.

Returning to the mansion in the southern part of the city, Han Yi sank into deep thought.

If Spirit Transformation Experts could travel between the two worlds, could he borrow their status to return to Yu Heng World?

This idea was immediately rejected by Han Yi. Even if he had the opportunity to get in touch with a Spirit Transformation cultivator, there was no way he could afford the cost of taking such an expert on a trip.

Could it be that the only plan was to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, join the Purple Cloud Sect, then head to the battlefront between the two races, accumulate a great reputation by killing demons, gain fame in Tianquan World and attract the attention of Beidou Immortal Palace?

Han Yi shook his head slightly. This plan was indeed feasible, but there were too many uncertainties and the time it would take was not clear. It made him hesitant to make a decision.

A month later.

At the top floor of Sansheng Tavern in Purple Cloud Immortal City, Han Yi was drinking Spirit Wine alone. The wine here was expensive, costing thirty Middle-Grade Spirit Stones per jar, a sky-high price indeed.

However, the Spirit Wine was worth it, and while it did not enhance Han Yi’s cultivation base, it provided his whole body with a pleasant sensation and offered his taste buds the ultimate enjoyment.

Situated on the second floor of the tavern, a middle-aged man dressed as the tavern keeper was clearing his throat and talking about recent events in Tianquan World.

What surprised Han Yi was that this middle-aged man was actually a Foundation Building late-stage cultivator. In Xuandan Sect, such a cultivator would be considered an elder, but in this tavern, he was just a ‘storyteller’ who attracted customers.

“For the information of all fellow Daoists here, Starsdwell Mountain’s Supreme Elder, Lord Fulong, emerged from seclusion a month ago. He single-handedly slew two Evil Gods on the battlefront between the two races, displayed unparalleled Immortal might, and destroyed the Evil Clan’s city, Fierce Lion City.”

“Finally, he returned triumphantly even under the watchful eyes of the three arriving Evil Gods. This is a great victory for our Human Clan!”

“Congratulations.”

The middle-aged man spoke in a magnetic and powerful manner. Each word was imbued with rich emotion, making a powerful impact and evoking various emotions in his listeners: excitement, anger, resentment or anticipation.

Han Yi looked at the expressive middle-aged man through the hollowed-out skylight in the center of the tavern, then shifted his gaze back upward, still listening carefully to the story below.

Seven days ago, Han Yi stopped visiting small and large businesses to inquire about the channels between the two worlds, as it was no longer necessary.

In the past half month, he spent the first half exploring, and the second half using disguise and manipulation techniques to get close to the shopkeepers he had consulted before, including Ni Ce and the shopkeeper of Yuxu Tower. By accessing their Divine Soul memories, he managed to confirm that their words were true and not fabricated.
