High-Grade Dao Techniques, Sword Pointed at the Higher Domain
"Your... Your Excellency..."
The old man in the golden robe, accompanied by a group of high-ranking officials, reluctantly came out to greet them.
"What happened before was due to my building manager's ignorance of the rules; we are willing to compensate..."
"Compensation?"
Dongfang Yueming gave a cold laugh.
"I want the manager's life, and... the money to buy his life."
"I want that manager's life, and also... one million low-grade immortal stones, plus all the high-grade Dao techniques of your Soaring Cloud Pavilion!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, the golden-robed elder and the others nearly fainted!
One million?!
All superior-grade Daoist techniques?!
This isn't compensation; it's practically stripping Soaring Cloud Pavilion bare!
Moreover, high-grade Dao techniques are methods used by the Golden Immortal Realm; what use would you have for them?
"Your Excellency! Isn't this going too far?!"
The old man in the golden robe looked grim, barely suppressing his anger as he said, "One million immortal stones? Even if we sold our entire Tai Xuan branch, we couldn't raise that much! As for high-grade Dao techniques, those are top secrets of the sect; how could we possibly reveal them to others so easily?!"
"No?"
A cold glint One Flash in Dongfang Yueming's eyes, and lightning and sword energy surged around him instantly!
"Then... wipe out the entire family!"
"Boom--!"
The auras of two Perfection mid-grade Dao techniques erupted simultaneously! The terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire Soaring Cloud Pavilion, as if it would be razed to the ground in the next second!
"You!"
Just as tensions were rising, an aged voice came from deep within the Soaring Cloud Pavilion.
Young man, be forgiving when you can.
An elderly man with an unfathomable aura slowly stepped out.
The Middle-Stage Mystic Immortal!
The ancestral spirit that guards Soaring Cloud Pavilion!
He looked at Dongfang Yueming, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, but also a touch of arrogance.
"I admit you are strong. But you should know that my Soaring Cloud Pavilion is backed by the ' Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty '! If you go too far, the wrath of the Immortal Dynasty is something you cannot withstand!"
"Immortal Dynasty?"
Dongfang Yueming scoffed.
"I don't care what kind of immortal dynasty you are! This is the Supreme Mystery Immortal Domain, and might makes right!"
"Yeah?"
Dongfang Yueming scoffed.
"Then let them come find me!"
As for now...
He raised his hand, and destructive energy gathered wildly in his palm!
"Give it to me, or not?!"
That destructive aura made even the Mystic Immortal Ancestor feel a chill in his heart!
He could sense that if this attack landed, he might survive, but the Soaring Cloud Pavilion... would be completely destroyed!
"Wait!"
He gritted his teeth and had no choice but to compromise.
"One million is too much! We can't afford it!"
"Two hundred thousand! That's our bottom line!"
"Two hundred thousand?" Dongfang Yueming frowned slightly, seemingly quite dissatisfied. "Is this how you treat a beggar?"
"And then add... a superior-grade Dao technique!" The Mystic Immortal Ancestor's heart bled. "This is something I acquired during my early travels, called the ' Spring Rain Heaven-Restoring Technique,' an extremely rare healing Dao technique! It's priceless!"
Dongfang Yueming pondered for a moment.
Two hundred thousand immortal stones may not seem like much, but this "Spring Rain Heaven-Restoring Technique"... sounds pretty good.
Moreover, while destroying the Soaring Cloud Pavilion would be satisfying, it would also invite a furious retaliation from the Immortal Dynasty, so now is not the time.
"Make a deal."
He nodded and concealed his breathing.
The Mystic Immortal Ancestor breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had just escaped from the brink of death.
A moment later.
The steward who had informed on the matter was dragged out like a dead dog and executed on the spot!
A storage ring containing 200,000 immortal stones, and a jade slip containing the "Spring Rain Heaven-Restoring Technique," were handed to Dongfang Yueming.
"Very good."
Dongfang Yueming packed his things and turned to leave.
Watching his disappearing figure, the eyes of the Mystic Immortal Ancestor erupted with boundless hatred!
"Send a message to headquarters!"
"If this brat doesn't die, how can my Soaring Cloud Pavilion maintain its reputation?!"
"Once we reach the Upper Immortal Realm... we must ensure he dies a horrible death!"
After leaving Soaring Cloud Pavilion, Dongfang Yueming did not linger in Supreme Mystery Immortal City. Instead, he found a secluded place, set up numerous restrictions, and began to take stock of his gains from the trip.
"Phew—this trip was truly thrilling."
He sat cross-legged, examining himself.
[Current Assets:]

"We have enough immortal stones for now, and we've collected quite a few Immortal Seed, but it's still not enough..."
Dongfang Yueming frowned slightly.
[The True Immortal Realm requires planting Immortal Seed within an immortal abode, using this as a foundation.]
[Although I currently possess Earth-Grade Immortal Seed, for someone like me who has Supreme Dao Bone and Chaos Dao Body...]
[This is of a lower grade, not perfect enough!]
[If we can't obtain better Immortal Seed, then we should at least create dozens, or even hundreds, of Yellow-Grade Immortal Seed!]
He shook his head, temporarily suppressing his desire for the Immortal Seed, and instead turned his attention to cultivation techniques and Daoist arts.
[Cultivation progress: "Origin Immortal Art - True Immortal Chapter" 80%, "Mystic Immortal Chapter" 48%.]

"A superior-grade Dao technique... This is a skill that only Golden Immortal Realm can master!"
A fiery glint flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.
"Fill it up first!"
With a thought, a massive amount of Immortal Points poured out like a flowing river!
[Point Allocation!]

"BOOM--!!!"
An extremely rich Vitality force erupted within him!
The vegetation within a radius of a thousand miles grew wildly under the influence of this Vitality, instantly transforming into a primeval forest!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! The Daoist technique has been successfully synthesized!]

"Good!"
Dongfang Yueming was overjoyed!
With this Daoist technique, as long as he isn't instantly killed, he is an immortal being!
[Immortal Points Balance: 43943]
"Continue!"
He turned his gaze to the remaining two mid-grade Dao techniques.
"Movement technique is the foundation of survival!"
[Point Allocation!]

[Ding! 1710 Immortal Points consumed, Nine Gates Mid-Grade Movement Technique Perfection!]

[Ding! Obtained a mid-grade Daoist technique - [Shrink the Earth to an Inch]!]
"Buzz--!"
Dongfang Yueming felt as if the space around him had become incredibly welcoming. With a thought, he appeared tens of thousands of miles away!
Ignoring distance, arriving in an instant!
"Finally... Thunder Magic!"
This technique, "Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Invocation," is a crucial piece in completing his superior-grade thunder-based Daoist arts!
[Point Allocation!]
[Ding! Consumed 2850 Immortal Points... Consumed 1710 Immortal Points... Consumed 1026 Immortal Points...]
[Ding! Obtained a mid-grade Daoist technique - [Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Invocation]!]
"Boom--!"
Thunder roared within the Sea of Consciousness!
The second mid-grade lightning-based Dao technique is complete!
[Immortal Points Balance: 32771]
Dongfang Yueming slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body, his eyes shining brightly.
"I only need one more mid-grade lightning-based Dao technique before I can attempt to fuse it with a high-grade one!"
"While my sword-based techniques are currently at their Perfection, I need more sword-based inheritance to advance to the high-grade level..."
He stood up and gazed at the distant horizon.
That place is... a superior immortal realm!
"The Holy Sword Sect... as a sacred place of swordsmanship in a superior immortal realm, I'm sure it won't disappoint me."
"Moreover, the resources there are much richer, so we can probably find even more high-level Immortal Seed there!"
"Set off!"
"Target... a superior immortal realm!"
