"Surely you are all quite curious about what this Immortal Market I speak of actually is?"

"What is an Immortal Market?"

"Immortals are gatherings of spirits who have attained the Dao and become immortal, while a market is a commercial district."

"Combined, they form the Primordial Wilderness's first large-scale functional city, built by immortals for mutual exchange and trade!"

"Within the Immortal Market, our Mystic Gate lineages—the Human Sect, Chan Sect, Interception Sect, and others—will jointly establish a colossal entity integrating administration, economy, culture, and transportation, promoting Mystic Gate culture and enlightening all beings of the Primordial Wilderness!!!"

"Within the Immortal Market, any living being may freely trade, work, settle down, make friends, seek the Dao, auction goods, set up stalls, post bounties, and conduct transactions... No matter what it is, whether it is something you can think of or not, Kunlun Immortal Market will have it!"

"If you wish to trade away idle items you have no use for, if you possess information about Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or miraculous pills, if you want someone to guide you in spells and Divine Abilities, if you seek a cultivation method, a person, spirit medicine, or equipment, if you want to cultivate and live in the most stable and peaceful place, if you wish to make friends and seek the Dao, if you want someone to refine artifacts or pills for you..."

"In the Immortal Market, anything can be done!!"

"No living being will need to spend vast amounts of time searching for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, nor will they need to risk their lives doing dangerous things!"

"And slaughter is forbidden within the Immortal Market. Anyone who dares commit murder will, at best, be suppressed, expelled, and permanently barred from entry; at worst, they will be killed on the spot, their body and Dao extinguished!!"

On the banks of the Jiangyue River.

The Three Sects Disciples quietly listened as the Youth in Black atop the Chaos Spirit Stone introduced the Immortal Market.

They were stunned.

Th-this-this...

Could something like this truly be created?

As Qingyuan's voice fell silent.

Wave after wave of clamor erupted along the Jiangyue River, shaking heaven and earth and scattering the clouds.

Whether they were Human Sect Disciples or Chan Sect Disciples.

Or Interception Sect Disciples.

All of them discussed the Immortal Market in shock and anticipation!!

An Immortal Market... They had never heard of one, nor had they ever seen one.

Yet the blueprint described by their Senior Disciple Brother filled them with longing and anticipation. They could not wait to experience such a life within the Immortal Market.

Could there really be a peaceful place where they could trade freely, settle down, work, make friends, and seek the Dao?

After all, the outside Primordial Wilderness was in utter chaos.

Di Jun and Tai Yi had established the Heavenly Court, launching campaigns everywhere against Innate God-Demons, Primordial Exotic Species, and powerful beings. They collected a wisp of each target's Primordial Spirit into the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, endlessly subjugating Demon Race members throughout the Primordial Wilderness and greatly expanding the Heavenly Court's influence.

They had even heard that the Heavenly Court intended to establish three hundred and sixty Demon Gods to occupy the Primordial Stars.

They planned to direct the Chaos starlight of the Primordial Stars into the Heavenly Court and establish some grand formation.

The Heavenly Court's momentum was incomparably immense.

Meanwhile, the Witch Clan devoured members of the Demon Race at terrifying speed. The Witches possessed formidable bodies, cultivated only their flesh rather than their Primordial Spirits, and had few natural enemies across the Primordial Wilderness.

The growth of these two colossal forces only intensified the friction between the Demon Race and Witch Clan.

Demon Gods from the Demon Race continually entered the fray, with even Demon Saints taking the lead.

They fought fiercely across the Primordial Wilderness.

The outside world had become a realm of chaos, with the smoke of war spreading everywhere.

Even as Saint disciples, they did not dare casually leave the Kunlun Mountains at such a time.

If the Kunlun Mountains truly had a place like the Immortal Market, the future would surely no longer be dull!!

Qingyuan suddenly fixed his gaze on a bear-like Interception Sect Disciple among the crowd who was discussing the matter.

Smiling, he asked, "Have you ever come across Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures by chance, yet not known their value and feared inviting disaster upon yourself, so you did not dare sell them?"

Bear Spirit Junior Disciple scratched his head awkwardly. "Senior Brother, I have."

There were simply too many members of the Interception Sect.

Although the Inspection Department was regarded as vicious and fearsome by the disciples, it had very few members.

Investigating cases was not easy either.

Furthermore, too many strange creatures had joined the Interception Sect. Some disciples barely had brains at all and truly dared to murder others for treasure in a moment of heated impulse.

Even if they were executed afterward.

They still did not conceal their violent and tyrannical natures.

As a result, many honest Interception Sect Disciples did not dare reveal the valuable items they possessed in daily life.

Qingyuan's voice boomed, "Once the Immortal Market is established, the Heavenly Net will patrol every street and alley at all times, putting an end to murder for treasure and the bullying of the weak. You may trade freely. If anyone still dares bully you, come to Serene Peak—I will stand up for you!"

"Thank you, Senior Disciple Brother!" the bear demon said, bowing in gratitude.

"This junior brother, have you ever been troubled by wanting to learn a certain spell or Divine Ability but being unable to find anyone to teach you?"

"The Immortal Market will later establish tutoring classes. So long as you pay Immortal Crystals, you may hire cultivators to assist you. Mystic Immortals, Golden Immortals, Grand Unity Golden Immortals, Grand Unity Golden Immortals... As long as you have Immortal Crystals, you can hire them to guide you!"

"This junior sister, have you become mentally exhausted because you lack origins, fortune, and resources, uncertain of where your future lies?"

"You may find a job you enjoy within the Immortal Market and work 996. I will fully implement employee benefits for everyone in the Immortal Market. You may give it a try!"

"Junior Brother, I see that your bones are extraordinary and your origins remarkable, yet the cultivation method you practice does not suit you. Have you ever considered changing to a method better suited to yourself..."

As Qingyuan pointed out one Interception Sect Disciple after another in the crowd.

And described the benefits of the Immortal Market.

More and more disciples came to approve of it and yearn for it, wishing they could immediately live in the Immortal Market that their Senior Disciple Brother had described so perfectly to their hearts!!

Daoist Duobao had been "subdued" by Qingyuan once not long ago.

Naturally, he would not step forward to cause trouble.

Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Holy Mother Wudang, Qiushou Xian, Jinguang Xian, Piluxian, Shi Ji, Ma Yuan, Yun Zhongzi, Wuzhiqi, Yuan Hong, and many other top experts and elite disciples of the Interception Sect.

Needless to say, they all voiced their full support.

Within the Human Sect.

Great Master Xuandu and the two gold and silver boys discussed it quietly.

They both thought it was not bad.

Zhenwu and Du'e were both bitter cultivators. They had no interest in it, but neither did they object.

In contrast.

All sorts of disdainful and opposing voices arose from the Chan Sect.

They did not agree with the establishment of Kunlun Immortal Market.

After the Chan Sect Immortals discussed matters among themselves, they all flew into the air.

Guangchengzi was the first to speak.

He sneered. "Senior Brother Qingyuan, what benefit does establishing an Immortal Market bring to our Mystic Gate?"

"The Kunlun Mountains are a sacred land of cultivation in the Primordial Wilderness, as well as the Dojo of our Saint masters. It is the orthodox Mystic Gate. If a vast number of living beings are drawn here, would that not turn the Kunlun Mountains into a foul and chaotic mess?"

"Exactly!"

True Person Taiyi stepped forward and mocked, "Most living beings in the Primordial Wilderness remain uncivilized. They are merely beasts born from dampness and eggs, covered in fur and bearing horns—brutal, domineering, and ignorant of rules. By then, your Immortal Market may not even be built before you bring trouble upon yourself!!"

"What these two senior brothers say is correct. Besides, we Chan Sect Immortals possess extraordinary origins and profound fortune. We are born with great destiny, so how could we lack cultivation resources, methods, or Divine Abilities?"

Daoist Huanglong wore a look of utter contempt as he sneered. "Creating an Immortal Market would do nothing but disturb the peace. In my opinion, it serves no purpose whatsoever!!!"

The moment those words were spoken.

A large number of Interception Sect Disciples immediately flew into a rage, pointing at the Chan Sect Immortals and loudly berating them.

What did they mean by beasts covered in fur and bearing horns?

What did they mean by brutal and lawless?

What did they mean by disturbing the sacred land of the Kunlun Mountains and turning it into a foul mess?

Were these people not clearly insulting them through insinuation!!!

"Silence!!"

Qingyuan barked a command.

The Law of Swordsmanship was like a projection of the river of the Sword Great Dao Law from the boundless distant Chaos, and terrifying sword qi of unmatched sharpness appeared across the skies!

The vast, vicious aura of a Golden Immortal swept through all directions like a raging storm.

Suppressing every objection!!

At the scene.

Great Master Xuandu of the Human Sect's expression shifted slightly. He could not believe that Qingyuan, who was likewise at the Golden Immortal Middle Stage, possessed such deep foundations!!

Without a body full of Lingbao.

Senior Brother Qingyuan could probably beat dozens of him alone, right?

Guangchengzi, Immortal Elder Nanji, Chijingzi, and the other Golden Immortals felt bitter inside.

They had cultivated in seclusion on the Kunlun Mountains for so many years, yet they still could not compare to Qingyuan, who had been "wandering mountains and rivers" throughout the Primordial Wilderness.

Even Daoist Randeng could not help narrowing his eyes. He could not believe Qingyuan possessed such profound foundations. Ordinary Taiyi cultivators likely could not even defeat Nephew-Disciple Qingyuan, could they??

But upon thinking about it, he understood.

It was understandable for someone with Innate Demon God Origin to possess some capabilities. After all, his previous incarnation was...

Once the scene had quieted down.

Qingyuan looked at Guangchengzi and smiled. "Junior Brother Guangchengzi, you worry too much."

"The Dao Ancestor's Zixiao Palace Three Lectures sorted out the cultivation realms of the Primordial Wilderness and preached the Dao to all beings. This was the merit of transmitting the Dao, imparting knowledge, and resolving doubts."

"Establishing an Immortal Market advocates peaceful coexistence and guides the living beings of the Primordial Wilderness toward freedom, equality, and harmony. This too is the blessing of enlightening all beings. It is also like Second Martial Uncle's Heaven-Expounding Dao, which follows Heaven in enlightening all things. I once sought Second Martial Uncle's permission to establish the Immortal Market, and he approved."

"So why does it become so unacceptable when it comes from your mouth?"

"Or do you believe your Dao is greater than Second Martial Uncle's?"

The moment those words were spoken.

Guangchengzi's expression changed completely.

He hurriedly descended to the ground, knelt toward Yuqing Peak, and kowtowed. He remained kneeling with his forehead pressed to the ground, not daring to rise!!

At this sight.

The Chan Sect Immortals' faces darkened.

What was going on?

Could it be that Qingyuan of the Interception Sect was their nemesis?

No matter how they targeted him, not only could they not suppress him, but they ended up humiliated instead???
