A warship floated in the Great Void, its surface engraved with Spirit Pattern that surged and pulsed, occasionally unleashing powerful attacks that shot out across vast distances and struck the array barrier of the Nirvana Demon Realm.
Above the warship, two figures were engaged in Berserk battle. One of them was radiating golden starlight and possessed a powerful physique, capable of withstanding the power of Spirit Treasure.
The other powerful figure was shrouded in demonic light, with a dark sky floating behind him. Evil eyes would occasionally appear in the sky, releasing various powerful demonic eye techniques.
The two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand, and only temporarily ceased hostilities to recuperate after a long time.
The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace returned to the warship, sat cross-legged on the futon, swallowed a spiritual pill and quietly regulated his breathing. His weakened aura quickly recovered, and his powerful blood and qi, as strong as a dragon, returned to its peak.
"Call..."
Letting out a long breath, Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace took out his Spirit Treasure, a golden halberd, and gently stroked the nick on the blade, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.
Just as Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace was preparing to repair the breach in the long spear, the communication artifact at his waist vibrated. His eyes flickered, and he pondered in confusion, "The Nirvana Chamber of Commerce? What do they want from me all of a sudden?"
Despite some doubts, Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace quickly stood up, left the room, and prepared to personally greet the guests from the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce.
As one of the top merchant guilds in the Three Realms, and even penetrating into the Saint Realm, the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce's influence, if only considering the Divine Realm and the Mortal Realm, far surpasses that of the Golden Radiance Palace.
Of course, if the Golden Radiance Palace of the Saint Realm is also included, the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce is far inferior.
After all, the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce Guild doesn't have a powerhouse of Great Emperor Gouchen's caliber to oversee it.
Inside the main hall, the pearls cast a warm glow as a group of people entered. The leader, dressed in a long blue robe, was shrouded in a persistent mist, giving him an air of mystery.
Seeing this, Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace still wore a smile on his face, but he was already very dissatisfied in his heart.
The Nirvana Chamber of Commerce is really disrespecting us. They come to pay their respects, but they're hiding their true intentions. What's going on here?
However, his thoughts vanished without a trace after the figure in the green robe shrouded in Mist spoke.
"It's been a long time, Palace Master."
Um?!
That sound?!
The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace was taken aback, feeling as if he had heard that voice somewhere before.
After a brief recollection, it was as if a Thunderclap had struck his mind, leaving a buzzing sound, and his eyes widened suddenly.
A scene immediately appeared in my mind.
His close friend Arhat Yuanguang was severely injured by the Yuantu Sword's divine power and was in mortal danger, but he was successfully saved by a mysterious powerhouse. Later, this powerhouse even destroyed the Azure Radiance Palace, which had always been an enemy of the Golden Radiance Palace.
He even fought a direct battle with the Dao Merging Great Expert Perfected Lord Xuanwei, who had personally descended to the mortal realm, holding his own and leaving unscathed.
The voice of this mysterious person was almost identical to that of the powerful figure, and coupled with what the other person said...
"This is a guest elder of our Nirvana Chamber of Commerce. You can call him Venerable Qinglian," Yuan Batian, who had followed them, introduced with a smile.
"Venerable Qinglian? It's been a thousand years, and you're still as elusive as ever."
Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he warmly welcomed the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce Guild members inside.
The Golden Radiance Palace disciples standing nearby widened their eyes in bewilderment. Their sect leader was known for his arrogance; how could he be so respectful to a powerful stranger?
Venerable Qinglian? There must be at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, spiritual cultivators using that title.
Which one is this?
After a thoroughly enjoyable banquet, Yuan Batian led the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce members away first, leaving only the Qinglian Avatar inside the warship, sitting opposite the Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace.
"I was so busy catching up that I didn't ask you what brings you here," the Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace asked softly, his eyes flickering slightly, indicating that he was not without his own guesses.
The Qinglian Avatar smiled slightly, "What does the Palace Master think?"
"Given your strength, to Concealment for a thousand years and then suddenly appear at this crucial moment as a guest elder of the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce, I suppose you also intend to join in the excitement of this war between the Three Sects?" said the Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace.
Unbeknownst to him, the Qinglian Avatar had not been in Concealment for the past thousand years, but rather had been traversing forbidden and dangerous lands under various identities, searching for ancient traditions and precious resources, while simultaneously establishing the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce from scratch.
The Qinglian Avatar didn't intend to boast, but simply laughed and didn't deny the Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace's words. He nodded frankly and said, "I have come here precisely to subdue demons and eliminate the great enemy, the Demon King of the Declining World, for my Daoism!"
"Oh?" Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace's eyes lit up, and his body trembled. "You're confident?"
"That depends on whether my request can be fulfilled," said the Qinglian Avatar, a half-smile playing on his lips.
They are blatantly demanding benefits.
The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace didn't take it to heart. He believed that everyone in the world was driven by self-interest and that it was perfectly normal to want benefits.
This is something that requires people to work incredibly hard; to expect them to work for free is simply too much to ask.
Therefore, the Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace readily nodded and said, "Rest assured, Your Excellency, as long as you can deal with the Demon King of the Declining World, even if you don't kill him, simply interrupting his process of refining the Demon Realm will be a great achievement. For this alone, let alone anything else, even if you ask for Dao Artifact or Innate Spirit Treasure, those powerful beings will not refuse you!"
"Alright, then please help me contact Great Emperor Gouchen. What I need, I'm afraid ordinary powerful beings cannot provide."
"Master Gouchen?!"
The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace was stunned again. What did this have to do with his ancestor?
However, given the formidable combat power that Qinglian Avatar had displayed a thousand years ago, Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace dared not be negligent, understanding that this person possessed the qualifications to converse with the ancestor.
If I refuse, and it causes serious problems in the future, I'm afraid I'll suffer the consequences.
The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace hesitated for only a moment before nodding and saying, "Very well, allow me to burn incense and bathe, and pray for the will of the Ancestral Master to descend."
"Alright." The Qinglian Avatar nodded slightly. Having waited for so long, there was no rush.
One hour later.
Pure white smoke drifted out from the bronze cauldron, rising in wisps and obscuring the majestic golden statue of the emperor.
The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace burned incense and prayed devoutly. After a short while, he received a response. His lips moved slightly, as if he were saying something. After a while, he stopped and waited quietly for something.
About fifteen minutes later, a sacred and majestic aura spread out, like an indelible golden star in the highest sky, descending with an overwhelming and domineering aura of war and conquest.
It was the will of Great Emperor Gouchen.
The Emperor's will manifested as a young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, dressed in a golden brocade robe, with a cold gaze and an imposing aura.
"Greetings, Master!"
The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace bowed down tremblingly.
The Qinglian Avatar behind him bowed slightly, "Greetings, Great Emperor."
"What do you want?" Great Emperor Gouchen was clearly a straightforward person and asked directly.
"I want to witness the Six Paths of Reincarnation with my own eyes, to see it up close." The Qinglian Avatar did not hide its intention.
These old monsters, each one of them has lived for countless years, and are incredibly cunning. In front of them, it's better to be straightforward than to be secretive; perhaps that will win you favor.
Moreover, Logo didn't believe that he was the only one in the Three Realms who had thoughts about the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
There are definitely many people like that!
He's certain!
As expected, after hearing the words of the Qinglian Avatar, Great Emperor Gouchen only showed a slightly strange expression on his face, gave him a deep look, and then nodded.
"As long as you can deal with the Demon King of the Declining World Samsara, I will take care of the matter of reincarnation."
It's a deal.
"I never break my promise."
With Great Emperor Gouchen's figure dissipated into smoke and vanished.
