Nanyun City, a Grade A cave dwelling area.
Upon arriving in Nanyun City, Lu Qingshan, being Eternal True God, immediately purchased a Grade A cave dwelling.
This level of cave dwelling, in terms of both comfort and cultivation environment, is incomparable to the cave dwellings he lived in before. It is even helpful for Lu Qingshan to comprehend the Chaos Law.
After all, the price is there; without any additional benefits, it wouldn't be worth so much money just for representing status and prestige.
" Chi You, Yan Shuo, pack your things. From now on, this will be our home in Nanyun City."
"It's young master."
Chi You and Yan Shuo spoke at the same time.
Chi You remained calm. He cultivated entirely through eating, and at most, he would study some secret techniques. He didn't need to comprehend any Chaos Law; he mastered them naturally as the time went by.
Let alone the Chaos Law, even the Great Dao of Destruction is the same.
Yan Shuo, however, was extremely excited.
It was only after arriving in Nanyun City that he learned that the master he followed was not Void True God, but a powerful Eternal True God.
This is like a windfall from heaven.
The Eternal True God is so powerful that if he were to spread his word, countless Void True God would be willing to follow him. How could it possibly be a chance for a mere True God like him?
At the same time, Yan Shuo also understood why his master hadn't accepted him as a disciple in the first place.
With his talent, he might have a chance to become an apprentice of an ordinary Void True God, but how could Eternal True God possibly be interested in him?
Fortunately, he had no other choice at the time, so he took the plunge and chose to follow them. In retrospect, that decision was the best decision he ever made.
The two divided the work: Chi You was in charge of the cave's cultivation area and inner area, while Yan Shuo was in charge of the outer area, which would also be where he would live and cultivate in the future.
Although he was working, Yan Shuo was very excited as he felt the rich aura of Chaos Law all around him. He was only a step away from comprehending the Ten Great Laws. Now that he was in such a favorable cultivation environment, comprehending the Ten Great Laws would be no problem at all, and the probability of breaking through to the Void True God level would also increase many times over.
After arranging the work for Chi You and Yan Shuo, Lu Qingshan left his cave dwelling and headed to the Yanfeng Guild Hall. The Yanfeng Guild Hall was one of the largest organizations on the Origin Continent Origin Continent, with branches in nearly half of the kingdoms and Chaos Prefecture. It also had branches in all three major cities of the Litian Chaos Prefecture Yanfeng Guild Hall.
The Yanfeng Guild Hall is backed by the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, one of the Two Great Ancient Kingdoms. Its backing is incredibly strong; as long as it doesn't involve Flame Wind...
The fundamental interests of the ancient kingdom are at stake here; trading and purchasing intelligence are absolutely safe and there will be no problems.
After all, an elephant wouldn't care about the information of an ant, nor would it care about the tiny bits of food left on the ant's mouth.
The Yanfeng Guild Hall is located in the most bustling central district of Nanyun City. The nine-story dark red pavilion looks very luxurious. Lu Qingshan stepped in, and soon a waiter came.
"Greetings, Your Excellency. Is there anything you require at the Yanfeng Guild Hall?"
Lu Qingshan glanced at the handsome waiter. As expected of the Yanfeng Guild Hall, even the waiters here possessed the strength of Void True God.
However, under the observation of the Eye of Wisdom, Lu Qingshan discovered that the other party's foundation was unstable. He had only become Void True God by relying on his Bloodline School sect, and his strength was only average among Void True God.
However, to evolve into Void True God solely based on Bloodline School indicates that one must have a powerful backer or that one's ancestors must have been powerful beings, something that ordinary people cannot achieve.
I want to buy some intelligence.
Lu Qingshan said calmly.
"Your Excellency, there is a private room for purchasing intelligence. Please follow me."
The attendant of the Void True God led Lu Qingshan into a private room.
Soon, a powerful being at the Eternal True God Level also arrived here.
"Sir, I am Gu Yong, the vice president of the Yanfeng Guild Hall. What kind of information do you wish to purchase?"
Lu Qingshan glanced at the other party, not surprised by their strength. If a mere servant was Void True God, it was quite normal for the vice president to be Eternal True God.
After all, this is one of the three main cities of Litian Chaos Prefecture, where there are quite a few Eternal True God. Yanfeng Guild Hall also has to be wary of people who are impatient or driven to the brink of despair and have to self-destruct their trucks.
"Information regarding the recent events in Lanhuang City, and detailed information about Nanyun City."
Lu Qingshan said.
"Guest, these are two pieces of information, details of the subsequent events in Lanhuang City. They are divided into three grades: A, B, and C. Grade C can be purchased with 1 unit of Cosmic Sand, Grade B with 100 units of Cosmic Sand, and Grade A with 1000 units of Cosmic Sand."
The old man paused for a moment, then continued.
"Detailed information about Nanyun City. This is relatively cheaper: Grade C: 500 Chaos Crystal; Grade B: 50 Cosmic Sand; Grade A: 500 Cosmic Sand."
Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the follow-up information about Lanhuang City would be even more valuable than that about Nanyun City. There were quite a few Eternal True God in Nanyun City, and the relationships involved were intricate and complex. The top-tier information must involve many secrets of the Eternal True God.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingshan said, "I want both intelligence reports to be rated A."
Lu Qingshan casually took out a jade bottle, which contained exactly the required amount of Cosmic Sand.
Lu Qingshan trusted the Yanfeng Guild Hall to a certain extent, provided that it did not involve information above the God King level.
After all, the fact that it has stood firm on the Origin Continent for so many years and has a decent reputation shows that the Yanfeng Guild Hall is quite meticulous in its work and has its own set of rules.
Gu Yong put away the jade bottle and examined it. Then a servant brought over two memory stones.
Lu Qingshan picked up one of the pieces to examine it.
This is the aftermath of events in Lanhuang City.
News of Baili Rentu's demise eventually reached Litian City. The Baili Family was furious and commissioned the Tianmu Chamber of Commerce to investigate. The investigation concluded that Baili Rentu had most likely perished at the hands of the Swordsman Wuming. At the same time, Great Sage Lishui learned of Swordsman Wuming's appearance and dispatched his Lishui Legion to investigate. However, Swordsman Wuming seemed to have vanished completely and never showed up again.
It's unclear what deal the Great Sage Lishui made with the Great Sage Litian, but now, in the Litian Chaos Prefecture, the Swordsman Wuming is also wanted, with a bounty of up to a million Cosmic Sand.
As for the information about the blade, it wasn't included in the top-tier intelligence. Perhaps Baili Rentu died too quickly and didn't have time to pass on the message, or perhaps even he didn't know what it was and had no way of explaining it.
The deaths of the Blood Drop Society leader, the city lord of Lanhuang City, and the Giant Whale Legion were only mentioned incidentally in the intelligence reports; they were all...
An insignificant nobody.
The Lanhuang City is currently in chaos, with many Void True God and True God leaving to return to their Lanhuang City. The only hope is that the higher-ups of Litian City will send a new city lord to quell the unrest.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly; there were no clues pointing to him.
He then picked up the second Memory Stone.
This contains detailed information about Nanyun City.
The situation in Nanyun City was more complicated than he had imagined. There were hundreds of registered Eternal True God here, and some others who were not officially registered but also lived in Nanyun City. There were more than a dozen Eternal True God forces that were truly rooted in Nanyun City, among which the strongest were the City Lord's Mansion, Wondrous Sound Pavilion, Divine Weapon Pavilion, and Shadow Alliance.
The City Lord's Mansion is undoubtedly the number one power. The City Lord is a Peak Eternal True God who rarely takes action, but his record is extremely brilliant. Several Eternal True God have fallen at the hands of the City Lord, and this is all that has been recorded.
The city lord's mansion also has a powerful Giant Whale Legion, whose commanders are all at the Eternal True God Level. Their strength far exceeds that of ordinary Eternal True God, and suppressing Eternal True God is a piece of cake.
Furthermore, the official recognition from the City Lord's Mansion further solidifies its position as the undisputed number one power.
The Divine Weapon Pavilion is the largest weapon-refining force in Nanyun City. Divine Weapon Pavilion leader is a Peak Eternal True God, though he maintains a low profile and rarely makes a move. Under his command are several Eternal True God Level weapon-refining masters and countless Void True God weapon-refiners. The weapons produced by the Divine Weapon Pavilion are renowned throughout the entire Litian Chaos Prefecture; even some armies commission the pavilion to produce their standard weapons.
The armory is being mass-produced.
Although its strength cannot compare to that of the City Lord's Mansion, the Divine Weapon Pavilion has a very complex network of relationships and has good relations with many Eternal True God. Although it is extremely wealthy, it is not a fat sheep, but a strong and fierce tiger.
Wondrous Sound Pavilion is the largest pleasure-seeking place in Nanyun City. Its headquarters are in the Wondrous Sound Pavilion Litian City. In Litian Chaos Prefecture, there are only three main cities with the Wondrous Sound Pavilion.
Only the main city is worthy of the presence of the Wondrous Sound Pavilion. This attitude is almost on par with the Yanfeng Guild Hall, which shows that the Wondrous Sound Pavilion does indeed have some confidence. Rumor has it that the Myriad Sounds Wondrous Sound Pavilion has some connection with the Great Sage Litian, which makes the Wondrous Sound Pavilion the most untouchable existence among all forces.
As for whether this rumor is true or false, no one dares to try to verify it. After all, in the entire Litian Chaos Prefecture, no one can withstand the wrath of the Great Sage Litian. The nature of the Wondrous Sound Pavilion itself also makes many powerful people believe that such a possibility exists.
The final Shadow Alliance is the dark force of Nanyun City. As the main city, Nanyun City has so many powerful forces, so naturally, the dark forces need to band together for mutual support. The Shadow Alliance is an alliance of multiple dark forces. Although they usually do not interfere with each other and may even have some conflicts, they will immediately unite if someone tries to attack them. The largest number of Eternal True God in this force is about twenty. The Shadow Alliance is also Peak Eternal True God, ruthless and with unfathomable strength. Even the City Lord's Mansion is very wary of them.
In addition, there are more than a dozen forces in Nanyun City that possess Eternal True God.
Although these forces cannot compare with these giants, they are still considered a force to be reckoned with in Nanyun City.
Lu Qingshan and Chi You were also included in this force.
After reviewing the intelligence, Lu Qingshan purchased some body-refining materials before leaving the Yanfeng Guild Hall.
The waiter escorted him to the door, and only after Lu Qingshan had completely left did he approach Vice President Gu Yong.
"Uncle, is this the new Eternal True God who recently arrived in Nanyun City?"
"Yes, that's him—"
"I heard he brought two servants with him when he came to Nanyun City, one of whom is actually True God— "
The waiter smiled slightly. The Eternal True God was so powerful, yet he brought along a True God; it was indeed a bit beneath him.
"He must have come from Lanhuang City. He probably even made a fortune there during the Lanhuang City, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much Cosmic Sand. But that's none of our business."
Gu Yong shook his head.
"Uncle, how strong is this Eternal True God? Has there been an assessment? With a new Eternal True God appearing, I'm afraid many forces will soon be buying information about him."
"Evaluate----"
Gu Yong thought for a moment and said, "He bought the body-refining materials for his own use. The Eternal True God hasn't yet matured his divine body; he must have just broken through not long ago. Let's temporarily rate his strength as Lower Grade B. We'll adjust it later if there are records of him taking action."
"It's actually Otsukasa!"
A hint of surprise flashed in the waiter's eyes.
The Eternal True God of Nanyun City have a strength evaluation system at their Yanfeng Guild Hall, divided into two levels, A and B, with six levels in total, and B being the lowest level.
Such weak and fragile Eternal True God are not many in Nanyun City.
The strongest Eternal True God in Nanyun City, such as the Nanyun City, the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and the Shadow Alliance, are all at the top-tier level.
As for Jia Shang, there is no Eternal True God in the entire Nanyun City who can be described with such high praise.
Only if Baili Rentu, who is very famous in Litian Chaos Prefecture, and Wuming, the Swordsman Wuming who even dared to kill the offspring of the Chaos Great Sage, appear in the evaluation can it be considered as a top-tier evaluation.
Lu Qingshan learned about the strength of the major forces in Nanyun City at the Yanfeng Guild Hall.
In the following days, after it was confirmed that Lu Qingshan intended to reside in Nanyun City for an extended period, his information also appeared on the desks of various powerful forces in Nanyun City.
The City Lord's Mansion.
The Nanyun City only glanced at the message and didn't seem to care much.
The gap between Eternal True God is enormous. An Eternal True God who was rated as "B-Class" by the Yanfeng Guild Hall is not worth his excessive attention.
"There's generally no risk in Eternal True God publicly purchasing a cave dwelling and registering it with the city lord's mansion. They'll most likely just choose to reside in a main city. We can investigate further, and if there are no unforeseen circumstances, we can invite them to join our city lord's mansion."
Within the dark forces, the Shadow Alliance.
In the dimly lit underground chamber, several figures sat around a round table.
"Have you all read the information about this Eternal True God named Fang Yuan?"
A deep voice came from a figure wearing a white mask.
The figure sat in the main seat, and one could hardly sense any presence emanating from him.
"The alliance leader— the Yanfeng Guild Hall's assessment of him is 'Lower B,' meaning his strength is probably quite average. Even those hypocritical, self-righteous guys pose no threat to us."
Another voice rang out.
"We must not be careless. The Yanfeng Guild Hall's initial assessment may not be accurate, as it is purely speculative without any prior reference. There could be unexpected developments."
"In that case, we can try inviting him to join. If he's willing to join, that would be great; even if he's not, it'll still be a good opportunity to gauge his attitude."
"Let's do it this way then. After all, he's Eternal True God with an unknown origin. Even the Yanfeng Guild Hall hasn't been able to find him. We should be cautious and not offend him easily."
"Leader, we understand."
The murmurs gradually faded away, and the secret room descended into darkness.
Divine Weapon Pavilion.
In an elegant courtyard.
A man and a woman were sitting in the courtyard, talking.
"Grandpa has been out delivering goods for so many years without any news. Something might have happened to him. Right now, the other branches are still hesitant, but once it's confirmed that something really happened to Grandpa, I'm afraid they'll immediately swallow up our branch."
The woman calmly analyzed the situation.
A flicker of anxiety crossed the man's eyes.
" Mingyue, what should we do?"
"Before they annex our lineage, invite an Eternal True God to reside within us, as long as our lineage still possesses an eternal true god."
"If God were there, things would proceed as usual, at most with some profits being taken away."
" Mingyue, is there anyone suitable?"
"I think that Eternal True God who recently came to our Nanyun City is quite good. I bought detailed information about him at the Yanfeng Guild Hall and found that he is an extremely low-profile figure, and he doesn't have any obvious flaws. This kind of person won't cause trouble for our lineage; on the contrary, he can become our lineage's support."
"I know that guy, but his background is unknown." The man was still a little worried. "And even if we invite him, will he agree?"
"It doesn't matter that their origins are unknown. How many Eternal True God who travel out of town would show their true faces? Besides, with the Pavilion Master here, there's nothing to worry about. As for whether they will agree, that is indeed a question. We'll only know their attitude after we extend the invitation."
The woman slowly stood up.
"Father, I plan to go there in person, bringing the sincerity of the Xia Family. If he truly intends to stay in Nanyun City for a long time, he shouldn't mind joining a powerful force, nor should he mind accepting this considerable gift."
