Everything is Ready!

After his second avatar exchanged five lightning-based divine abilities and secret techniques from the Yinglong Guard Dao Treasury Palace, Zhou Hao's main body also left the Changsheng Estate and arrived at Tianbao Mountain in Antan City.

If we're talking about enjoyment, the Carefree Cave with the Beishan Clan and the three Celestial Fox Immortals can rival Tianbao Mountain. But when it comes to acquiring magical treasures and rare items, Tianbao Mountain has the support of the Great Xia Dynasty family, which is spread across every prefecture and city in the endless land.

The sheer volume of rare treasures that the vast network of channels covering the entire world's Endless Territories could gather far surpasses what the Carefree Cave could offer.

Tianbao Mountain in Antan Commandery covers an area of 600 li and is a mountain within the city.

The entire mountain is hollowed out, attracting countless cultivators every day.

Zhou Hao is currently enjoying great influence in Antan Commandery. As soon as he entered the huge square in front of Tianbao Mountain, a beautiful woman in palace attire rode on a cloud to greet him.

"Danxia greets the Immortal of Changsheng." The woman in palace attire bowed from the clouds.

"The Immortal Danxia." Zhou Hao nodded gently.

This beautiful woman in palace attire is one of the three Loose Immortal in charge of the Tianbao Mountain branch in Antan Commandery, whose status is equivalent to that of the ' Jade Algae Immortal ' of Carefree Cave.

Following the Immortal Danxia directly through the corridor at the highest peak of Tianbao Mountain, Zhou Hao soon arrived at a luxurious hall.

This hall is situated at an extremely high position; standing by the railing outside the hall, one can overlook the entire Antan City.

A grand feast had been laid out in the hall. Immortal Danxia led Zhou Hao to a seat and said with a smile, "I have long heard of the name of Changsheng, but I have never had the chance to meet you. Today I am finally fortunate enough to meet you. I wonder if Changsheng intends to sell magical treasures or buy something?"

"Immortal Danxia, you're too kind," Zhou Hao said with a smile. "I've come today precisely to sell my magical treasures in exchange for some rare items for cultivation."

Wow~~~

More than ten magical treasures, including flying shuttles, flying swords, stardust, and long ribbons, appeared in mid-air in the hall, their powerful auras causing the maids nearby to gasp for breath.

"Nine Immortal-grade magic treasures and three Heaven-grade magic treasures." Immortal Danxia examined them carefully, even using his divine sense to scrutinize them. After silently calculating, he said directly, "Thirteen million catties of Origin Liquid. Is Changsheng satisfied?"

"Thirteen million catties of Origin Liquid? Thank you very much Immortal Danxia." Zhou Hao nodded.

This price is higher than I estimated, so it's a pretty good price.

"This is the first time Immortal Changsheng has visited our Tianbao Mountain, and you've brought out so many celestial-grade magic treasures. Naturally, I must offer you a fair price," Immortal Danxia said with a smile. "I wonder what Changsheng wishes to buy? I can offer you a 40% discount, which is the limit within my authority."

Those who are highly regarded by Tianbao Mountain are generally given a discount.

Generally, it's 30% off, but only certain immortals will receive a 40% discount.

When Tianbao Mountain acquires treasures, it does so at 60% of the listed price, which is already close to the limit, meaning it makes almost no profit.

Of course, since Tianbao Mountain is full of treasures and the prices are quite high, even if we say we won't make any profit, we can still make some.

However, because the goal was to sell Zhou Hao, who was visiting for the first time, the purchase price offered by Immortal Danxia was relatively high.

In this way, it turns out that Immortal Danxia really didn't intend to profit from his Origin Liquid in this deal; it was more of a favor.

"No need for the 40% discount." Zhou Hao smiled and took out a black token, handing it to Immortal Danxia. "With this token, you should be able to enjoy a 50% discount at Tianbao Mountain, right?"

The token was simply engraved with a mountain-shaped pattern, and it looked ordinary, but the magical fluctuations within it shocked the Immortal Danxia.

"Supreme Immortal Token?" Immortal Danxia looked at Zhou Hao in surprise.

It's important to know that the ' Supreme Immortal Token,' representing the highest level and the most prestigious status in Tianbao Mountain, is not something that just anyone can obtain.

Being a Celestial Immortal is just one of the most basic requirements. The value of the treasures traded with Tianbao Mountain must also reach a certain level, at least the level of a top-grade Immortal-rank magic weapon, in order to receive the ' Supreme Immortal Token ' from the Tianbao Mountain headquarters.

Despite the fact that Zhou Hao's second clone displayed combat power at the Void Return Divine Demon level, he still lacked the necessary status, position, and strength to obtain the ' Supreme Immortal Token '.

"What? Is it not allowed?" Zhou Hao looked calmly at Immortal Danxia.

"Alright," the Immortal Danxia said with a wry smile.

This time, I wasn't expecting to make much profit, but I also didn't intend to lose money.

50% off?

Unless Zhou Hao wants magic treasures crafted by the master craftsmen of Tianbao Mountain, if he only buys rare materials... Don't underestimate the 10% loss. 10% of tens of millions of catties of Origin Liquid is a million catties of Origin Liquid, equivalent to losing an ordinary immortal-grade magic treasure.

At this time, the second clone had also used up all the merit points in the Yinglong Guard's treasure vault.

His main body and his clone shared the same memories and thoughts. Zhou Hao immediately knew what his clone was missing, so he took out a blank jade slip, inscribed it with his mind, and made a list, which he then handed to Immortal Danxia.

"Immortal Danxia, take a look at this list. Do you have any of the items recorded here at Tianbao Mountain?"

"Please rest assured, Changsheng, Tianbao Mountain is spread throughout the Xia Clan Great World. Even if my branch doesn't have it, it can be immediately transferred from headquarters or other branches." Immortal Danxia took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and the bitter look on his face deepened.

As expected, they were all rare and precious materials and artifacts of the lightning element. The only magic weapon that was still somewhat profitable was a custom-made ordinary immortal-grade magic weapon that could unleash five different types of lightning.

As for the twelve additional custom-made ordinary-grade magic treasures, without any secret patterns, they are almost the same as rare and precious materials, offering no profit whatsoever; in fact, they would result in a 10% loss.

"Changsheng, these can be prepared in three days at most. A total of seven million catties of Origin Liquid." Immortal Danxia looked at Zhou Hao hopefully, "There are still six million catties of Origin Liquid left. Would Changsheng like to choose a few more Immortal-grade magic treasures?"

Her annual resource allocation is always tied to her performance.

She sold a treasure worth seven million catties of Origin Liquid, but ended up losing nearly six hundred thousand catties of Origin Liquid; she'd have to fill that hole herself.

After all, it was her own fault for taking it upon herself to offer such a high price for the acquisition.

"No need," Zhou Hao shook his head. "Just give me the remaining six million catties of Origin Liquid; I still need it for cultivation."

Six million catties of Origin Liquid were offered to the Blue Flower Boss, which could condense into about twenty drops of Azure Splendor Water Pearl.

The second clone exchanged for five lightning-based divine abilities and secret techniques. If he were to cultivate them slowly and hope to achieve some results, it would take at least ten years.

Once a bottleneck is encountered, it may take decades or even centuries to overcome.

At this time, the main body used the Azure Splendor Water Pearl to help him comprehend the Dao, and also allowed the clone to quickly master these five supernatural powers and secret techniques.

Anyway, once my clone goes to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, I can kill as many Loose Immortal Earth Immortal as possible, and I'll have made up for everything.

If I could kill a Celestial Immortal, I would become instantly rich, and might even be able to quickly earn back the Origin Liquid I needed to cultivate the Xuanwu Great Divine Ability.

Soon, half an hour later.

Zhou Hao left Tianbao Mountain satisfied, carrying with him all the rare materials and six million catties of Origin Liquid from this branch.

Immortal Danxia watched Zhou Hao teleport away after only a few steps and muttered resentfully.

"If he comes again in the future, he'll push the purchase price down as low as possible, and exaggerate the selling price as much as he can!"

Red Dragon Mountain Range.

Zhou Hao, dressed in a green robe, appeared out of thin air. He handed the storage magic treasure in his hand to the black-robed clone, nodded slightly to Immortal Dongshi, and then turned around and teleported away again.

"Having Second Primordial Spirit clone really makes a difference." Immortal Dongshi was filled with envy. "Even if one were to possess a powerful god or demon and fail to overcome the Heavenly God Tribulation, reaching the Void Return level would still grant one the combat power of a Heavenly Immortal."

The true nature of Zhou Hao's Second Primordial Spirit avatar remains unknown to the outside world.

However, the battle in the Blood Lake Mountains led everyone to believe that Zhou Hao had possessed an ancient god or demon.

After all, it is difficult to find a vessel that can be used to cultivate Second Primordial Spirit. Moreover, rare treasures such as the ' Yuanpin Pearl ' that are suitable for cultivating Second Primordial Spirit can only be used to cultivate Qi, not to cultivate the body, after the Second Primordial Spirit is achieved.

Only beings with physical bodies, like Zhou Hao, who can refine their Qi and body, can do so.

Possessing a physical body inevitably carries the risk of conflict between the divine soul and the original soul. Let alone passing the Heavenly God Tribulation, even just refining Qi would not be enough to pass the Celestial Immortal Tribulation. The final hurdle of inner demons alone would be insurmountable.

Even so, if we only consider the immediate situation, the benefits of having a divine or demonic avatar at the Void Return level, comparable to a Celestial Immortal, would be immense.

Of course, ancient gods and demons are powerful. Although they are stupid and lack comprehension, their souls are far stronger than those of other beings of the same level. Even if they are lucky enough to find someone at the Ten Thousand Manifestations Realm, it is very difficult for them to possess them.

Zhou Hao himself was only at the Myriad Phenomena Realm. How he managed to do it is a question that has puzzled countless people.

"Now everything is ready, all I need to do is focus on cultivation." Zhou Hao, dressed in black, put away his storage magic treasure, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Although his clone was comparable to a celestial being, even celestial beings were divided into different ranks.

The weakest of them, ordinary celestial immortals who have survived the first, second, and third nine-year tribulations, have short lifespans and shallow accumulations. They can be defeated by million-year-old Loose Immortal, and some have even been killed by millions-year-old Loose Immortal. This has happened many times.

Stronger ones, such as powerful celestial immortals who have survived the Heavenly Tribulations of the fourth, fifth, and sixth nine-year periods and accumulated deep power, are no match for even Loose Immortal who has lived for millions of years.

Even stronger ones, like the top celestial immortals who have survived the seven, eight, or even nine tribulations, and who possess pure yang magic treasures and top-tier secret techniques, can even contend with Pure Yang True Immortal.

"Once I master these supernatural powers, I'm afraid I'll be comparable to those powerful celestial immortals," Zhou Hao thought to himself.

In terms of God-Devil Body Refining, I am comparable to the early stage of the Void Return Realm, though slightly inferior.

It possesses numerous supernatural powers, as well as its natal magic treasure, the ' Saha Treasure Tree,' and the ' Weiyang Palace,' a top-grade immortal magic treasure that Loose Immortal Hongchen had accumulated and refined over millions of years.

Furthermore, it can be used in close combat with the aid of Taiji Fist Art...

"With such strength, I can definitely fight against the top-tier Celestial Immortals. Even if I can't defeat them, I'm confident I can escape," Zhou Hao thought to himself.

"Immortal of Changsheng," Immortal Dongshi said, "Where would you like to cultivate in seclusion? Some of the Earth Immortal Loose Immortal of our An'Tan Branch are in the Red Dragon Mountain Range, and some are in the Prison Mountain Great Marsh."

"Although the environment of the Prison Mountain Great Marsh Swamp is dangerous, and some places are mysterious places such as broken spaces and the ruins of the war between gods and demons, there are also many places with special environments that are more suitable for cultivating special techniques."

"A special place?" Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat. "Is there a place where lightning rages?"

His clone's Qi cultivation technique is of the lightning element, and the supernatural abilities and secret arts he cultivates are all of the Lightning Great Dao lineage. He needs to find a place where lightning rages to cultivate in seclusion.

Furthermore, given the strength of the Asura God's avatar at the Void Return level, if it were to unleash some of its power while cultivating supernatural abilities and secret techniques, even ordinary Loose Immortal Earth Immortal would likely be severely injured or even annihilated upon encountering it.

This is why Zhou Hao doesn't cultivate in his own Changsheng Estate.

"Yes." Immortal Dongshi nodded, clearly having already made up his mind.

"The Eye of Thunder is just the right spot."
