The Situation in the Boundless Sea
at this time.
Clan Head Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun walked to the counter inside the "Sea Cloud Teleportation Main Hall," the core area of Sea Cloud Marketplace.
Immediately, the Clan Head Ling Yunhong asked a white-haired old man with the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Completion, who was reading a book behind the counter.
"Fellow Daoist, are there any rules or fees regarding the use of your temple's Teleportation Array?"
Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man who was reading a book glanced at Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun, and then said indifferently.
"It takes fifty cultivators to activate the Teleportation Array to the Ripple Marketplace in the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World. Right now, I have only gathered forty-three cultivators. With the two of you, that makes forty-five."
"As for the cost, it will be calculated based on your cultivation level. Since you two are both at the Foundation Establishment stage, it will be one thousand Spirit Stone each."
Upon hearing this, both Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun raised their eyebrows slightly.
Although a thousand Spirit Stone wasn't much for the two of them, they felt a pang of regret at having spent so Spirit Stone just on traveling.
However, due to the long distance between the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World Realm, Ling Yunhong had no choice but to throw out two thousand Spirit Stone and place them on the counter.
The white-haired old man behind the counter waved his hand to collect the Spirit Stone, and then spoke calmly as before.
"Now that we have enough people to gather for the Teleportation Array, you can go through that gate into the depths of the main hall and wait. I estimate that the remaining five people will be able to gather in two or three days."
"Thank you." After thanking the old man, Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun followed the instructions of the white-haired old man, went through a large gate, a corridor, and entered an ancient hall.
But just as the two stepped into the hall, a powerful pressure swept over their bodies.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful voice entered the minds of Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong.
"It will be safer for you two to enter my inner teleportation hall. If you dare to cause trouble inside, you will bear the consequences."
Upon hearing this, both Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong trembled and quickly nodded in response.
Then, the immense pressure dissipated.
Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong felt a sudden lightness in their bodies. They exchanged a glance before stepping back into the inner hall.
Inside this inner hall, forty-three cultivators sat cross-legged in various places, meditating.
The cultivation levels of this group of cultivators were at least at the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, with as many as five cultivators reaching the Consummation Realm the Foundation Establishment stage.
There was even a bald monk who showed no signs of life.
This bald monk not only had a unique appearance, but there was also no one around him for a full ten feet.
It was as if all the other cultivators inside the inner hall were avoiding this monk.
"Golden Core True Person!"
"Judging from his attire, he should be a rare Buddhist practitioner."
"I didn't expect to see two Golden Core True Person in just a hundred breaths. This place truly lives up to its reputation as a medium-sized market town established by the Sea Cloud Immortal Sect."
Markets can be divided into small, medium and large. Small markets generally have a flow of people between 5,000 and 50,000.
The Serpent Dragon Marketplace of the Hundred Spirits Sect is of this size.
A medium-sized market requires a foot traffic of at least 100,000 people.
Large markets typically have a foot traffic of around 200,000 or more.
There are currently no large-scale markets in the entire Northern Wilderness Cultivation World.
Ling Pengyun's gaze fixed on the bald monk, and he was secretly surprised.
When his cultivation was at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, his Divine Sense sense was already comparable to that of the Consummation Realm Foundation Establishment. Now that his cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment Completion, although his Divine Sense Divine Sense still at that level, it is more refined than before.
Even Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator who has mastered the Aura Concealing Method would find it difficult to escape his Divine Sense detection.
Under such circumstances, only Golden Core cultivators would be able to survive.
Having guessed the monk's cultivation level, Ling Pengyun quickly withdrew his Divine Sense and bowed to the Golden Core Buddhist cultivator.
Then, he followed Ling Yunhong to a corner and sat down cross-legged.
Several days later.
Five more people arrived at the inner hall, bringing the total number of people required by the Teleportation Array to fifty.
The next moment, a middle-aged male cultivator wearing a blue Daoist robe, with a robust build and an aura as powerful as a rainbow, suddenly appeared at the entrance of the inner hall.
With a wave of his hand, the middle-aged cultivator caused a five-zhang-wide circle of array patterns to appear on the ground in the center of the inner hall.
"I am the Hall Master of the Teleportation Hall of the Sea Cloud Immortal Sect. All the people who have been teleported to the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World have arrived and are gathered in the Teleportation Array in the center of the inner hall."
This voice deeply penetrated the minds of the cultivators present, awakening all fifty cultivators who were sitting there in meditation.
No one showed any anger at the middle-aged male cultivator's disturbance, including the Golden Core cultivator who showed no sign of aversion.
This is because the middle-aged male cultivator, who is known as the "Master of the Teleportation Hall," has already reached the Golden Core Middle Stage and is backed by the Nascent Soul Great Sect Sea Cloud Immortal Sect.
Everyone did as instructed and gathered inside the Teleportation Array array.
The next moment, the Hall Master of the Teleportation Hall waved his hand again, and countless array patterns surged from the floor of the inner hall.
"Buzz!"
A dull thud sounded.
A blinding beam of light, five zhang in diameter, enveloped Ling Pengyun, Ling Yunhong, and fifty other cultivators.
As the pillar of light dissipated, Ling Pengyun and the others had vanished from the spot.
On the other side.
Ninety million miles away.
After a moment of dizziness, Ling Pengyun opened his eyes and found himself, along with Ling Yunhong and the others, inside a blue inner hall.
Then, a strange and extremely young voice entered his ears.
"Fellow Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, I am Jiang An, a disciple of the Sea Cloud Immortal Sect stationed at the Ripple Marketplace Teleportation Hall. You have now arrived at Ripple Marketplace in the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World Realm."
"These manuals contain maps of several sea areas surrounding Ripple Marketplace, as well as introductions to the major forces in the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World."
"This palace also has Teleportation Array leading to the nearby sea market. If you wish to use the Teleportation Array to travel, you can simply seek me out."
Outside the main hall, a young Foundation Establishment Cultivator dressed in the robes of the Sea Cloud Immortal Sect entered the inner hall, took out fifty booklets from his Storage Bag, and handed them to Ling Pengyun and the others.
Ling Pengyun was secretly surprised by the Teleportation Array's speed. He then reached out and took the manual, examining it carefully.
This manual records that the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World is mostly seawater, and cultivators generally live on islands. This Ripple Marketplace is built on Ripple Island.
The core of the "Ripple Sea Region" where Ripple Island is located is occupied by a long-established Nascent Soul Great Sect called "Sky Cloud Immortal Sect". This sect has as many as three Nascent Soul.
This sect is the same Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World force that has close ties with the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect of the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World.
The vast territory of the Ripple Sea Region spans tens of millions of miles, much like a Great Country in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, except that the Ripple Sea Region is much larger due to the presence of seawater.
The human race has thirty-six sea areas in this Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World.
The northernmost point of the thirty-six seas has become the Boundless Demon Sea.
Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong's trip to the Boundless Sea Region was to the territory of the Nascent Soul Demon Race "Dragon Scale Shark," specifically the "Dragon Scale Sea Region" within the "Boundless Demon Sea." The Dragon Scale Shark race was the overlord of this sea.
If you want to go to the "Dragon Scale Sea Region", you need to cross the entire human territory, go through ten Human Race Sea Territory, and go deep into the Boundless Demon Sea.
The journey is hundreds of millions of miles long, but crossing the human territory is easier. The thirty-six sea areas of the human race are all connected by Teleportation Array arrays in the major "medium" and "large" markets. By spending spirit Spirit Stone, one can reach the Boundless Sea Region area adjacent to the Boundless Demon Sea in a short time.
The origin of the name "Boundless Demon Sea" is quite simple: it contains countless Demon Beast.
After reading this information, Ling Pengyun frowned deeply.
"This trip to the Dragon Scale Sea Region is more difficult than my Third Grandfather and I imagined. I don't know if my Third Grandfather and I will be able to reach the Dragon Scale Sea Region smoothly."
Ling Pengyun sighed inwardly, then looked at Ling Yunhong was also frowning after learning about the situation in the sea.
Ling Yunhong noticed the gaze fixed on him, turned his head to look, and after meeting Ling Pengyun's eyes, he transmitted his voice to him.
"Peng Yun, would you still be willing to come with me to the Dragon Scale Sea Region in the Boundless Demon Sea?"
There are many outsiders around this place, and Ling Yunhong didn't want outsiders to know that he and Ling Pengyun wanted to go to the Dragon Scale Sea Region, so he used telepathy.
"Of course." Ling Pengyun's expression gradually became firm as he replied telepathically.
After receiving Ling Pengyun's reply, Ling Yunhong's expression brightened slightly.
He knew Ling Pengyun's strength; with his Higher Vehicle natal Lifebound Magic Item, the Azure Sea Heavy Yuan Pearl, and the Thorn Python Technique, he was even stronger than him.
If Ling Pengyun were to accompany them, their journey to the Dragon Scale Sea Region would be much safer.
Subsequently, considering that there were as many as ten seas to pass through, and the journey would be at least hundreds of millions of miles long, with countless Demon Beast along the way, Ling Yunhong decided to continue using the Teleportation Array to travel.
He transmitted his question to Jiang An, the Foundation Establishment Realm teleportation hall steward.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, my junior and I wish to use your esteemed hall's Teleportation Array to travel to Coral Market, the largest Coral Marketplace Coral Sea Region. May I ask how much the fee would be?"
Coral Sea Region is the sea area immediately north of the Ripple Sea Region where Ripple Marketplace is located.
As for why teleportation in this Boundless Sea Region can only be done slowly, it is probably because there are many forces in the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World. Only seas with good relations between the two have built Teleportation Array for each other.
"The Coral Sea Region is thousands of miles away from the Ripple Sea Region where our Ripple Marketplace is located."
"The required cost is low, only one hundred Spirit Stone."
"However, we need to gather three hundred people before our palace will activate the Teleportation Array to the Coral Marketplace in the Coral Sea Region."
"Currently, there are quite a few people in Gold Sand Marketplace who want to go to the Coral Sea Region. More than 210 people have been gathered. It is estimated that it will take less than five days to gather enough people to open the Teleportation Array."
"You two can spend these five days strolling around the Ripple Marketplace and seeing the market of this Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World. Of course, you can also stay in my sect's teleportation hall."
Jiang An, the Foundation Establishment Realm teleportation hall steward, was overjoyed to see that both Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun intended to activate the Teleportation Array to go to the Coral Sea Region. He then enthusiastically transmitted his message.
Whenever someone uses Teleportation Array through his hands, he takes a 10% cut of the Spirit Stone as a service fee.
He then led Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun to a secluded small room to conduct a transaction regarding the cost of using the Teleportation Array array.
After the transaction was completed, Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun, considering that it would take a very long time for the Teleportation Array to gather enough people, left a Communication Talisman talisman in Jiang An's hand and left the Teleportation Hall to stroll around the Ripple Marketplace.
This Ripple Marketplace is the most prosperous market in the "Ripple Sea Region". Several Golden Core True Person are stationed here year-round, making it a veritable medium-sized market.
This medium-sized market town lived up to its size, with a large flow of people. At least 100,000 cultivators appeared in this market town, and Foundation Establishment Cultivator were also very common.
From this incident, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong also felt the prosperity of the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World.
It should be noted that there are as many as thirty-six Boundless Sea Region that are no less powerful than this Ripple Sea Region area.
This means that there are at least thirty-six medium-sized markets in this Boundless Sea Region, which is several times more than the number of medium-sized markets in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World.
They could understand the prosperity of the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World. The Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World had a vast territory, and the Ripple Sea Region alone was extremely large. A large territory meant abundant resources.
Furthermore, the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World has been rooted here for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years, so how could it be weak?
If the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World were not strong, how could it have had the spare strength to develop the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World ten thousand years ago?
Besides the large number of people, this market also has a large number of spiritual creatures.
Rare spiritual items from the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World are all sold in this market.
Like Storage Pearl, it functions the same as Storage Bag.
However, since the Storage Pearl are relatively small, they can be strung together to form a storage pearl chain, which is quite convenient.
There is also a spiritual object called "Jade Transformation Spirit Pearl". This spiritual object is produced by Jade Transformation Spirit Shell. After consuming it, it can accelerate the cultivation speed of a cultivator in a short period of time.
Ling Pengyun then bought some ten-year supply of First-Tier Superior-Grade- Jade Transformation Spirit Pearl, intending to take them back for his only son, Ling Chengxia, to consume.
First-Tier Superior-Grade Jade Transformation Spirit Pearl can accelerate the cultivation speed of Qi Training Late Stage Refining cultivator by 30%, with the effect lasting for three years.
Besides the spirit objects, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong, who were strolling through the market, also learned something even more delightful.
That is the Boundless Sea Region, because it is located in the seawater, and the underground Water Vein are also extremely dense.
Under these circumstances, the Boundless Sea Region is rich in Water Spirit Iron, and there is a particularly large amount of Water Spirit Iron in the Ripple Marketplace.
Of course, most of the Water Spirit Iron on the market is first-tier, and there are very few second-tier ones.
As for the price, it's 10-20% cheaper than in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World.
This situation also made Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong secretly resolve that if they forged new natal Lifebound Magic Item in the future, they would definitely come here to buy a large quantity of relatively cheap Water Spirit Iron to refine magic Law Artifact.
Now that they have refined all their natal Lifebound Magic Item to the second-tier limit, they no longer crave Water Spirit Iron as much as before.
As for the Heavy Yuan Treasure Iron they crave, it is quite common in the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World.
Several of the larger weapon-refining shops in the market sell some Second Rank Low Grade Heavy Yuan Treasure Iron.
However, Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong, whose cultivation had already reached the Foundation Establishment Completion, would not bother to buy such Heavy Yuan Treasure Iron to refine their natal Lifebound Magic Item.
Using Heavy Yuan Treasure Iron of this grade as the main material to refine Lifebound Magic Item results in extremely low potential and weak power.
