The World Tree, a Ruler Holding the Fort
Liu Yi remained calm and casually inquired about prices at the next stall before walking over to the stall where the piece of wood was displayed.
He glanced at the items on the stall and casually picked up a sapling of a fairy fruit tree.
What kind of sapling is this?
He looked at the stall owner and asked in a calm tone.
The stall owner immediately replied enthusiastically, "This is the Purple Star Barrier-Breaking Tree. It can produce thirty-six Purple Star Barrier-Breaking Fruit every three thousand years."
It can help people quickly break through cultivation bottlenecks and reach higher realms.
"You can take it for just 1 billion Innate Spirit Crystal."
Are there any side effects?
"The Purple Star Barrier-Breaking Fruit is only effective for cultivators below the Immortal King."
After consuming this fruit, one will never be able to break through to the next realm in this lifetime.
For those who are stuck at a certain level and have no hope of breaking through, it is an invaluable treasure.
You can use it on your family members or disciples who are unable to break through, so they can advance to another realm.
Liu Yi immediately put down the Purple Star Barrier-Breaking Tree.
This tree is of little use to him, as its cultivation period is still very long.
He then picked up the wooden stick that resonated with the Great Dao of the World and carefully sensed it.
The wooden stick was black, as if it had been burned by a fierce fire, but a faint trace of life was hidden inside.
He quietly released his Divine Sense, which immediately collided with a barrier.
This barrier was strong enough to block the Divine Sense Immortal Lord, but he was already Martial Emperor and could not stop him at all.
Divine Sense easily penetrated the wooden stick, and saw thousands of Great Dao Runes emerging inside, evolving the profound mysteries of the world.
"So it's a branch of the World Tree. No wonder it resonated with my Great Dao of the World."
Unfortunately, the branch is severely damaged and its vitality is on the verge of extinction. Even if it is watered with the World Origin, the hope of it surviving is slim.
Since we've come across this today, why not buy one and give it a try?
If I could restore its vitality and make it grow into the World Tree again, I would make a fortune.
It should be able to help my world grow faster.
Having made up his mind, he remained outwardly calm and asked, "What is this black wooden stick?"
The stall owner quickly and enthusiastically replied, "This wooden stick is incredibly hard, impervious to swords and knives; it's a top-grade material for refining weapons."
Even if it's not refined into Law Treasure, it's still quite good as a weapon.
"You can take it away for just 80 million Innate Spirit Crystal."
"You're right! I'll try to see if I can refine it into Law Treasure."
This is 80 million Innate Spirit Crystal.
Liu Yi paid for the Innate Spirit Crystal, accepted the World Tree, and turned to leave decisively.
The stall owner was stunned on the spot, completely unexpected that the other party would not haggle at all and would make the purchase so readily.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself,
Could this wooden stick truly hold a secret?
However, this item had been in his possession for 30,000 years, and despite his extensive research, he still couldn't figure out its origin.
When placed on the stall, it attracted no attention; everyone in the past thought it was useless except for its hardness.
We can't let everyone misjudge the situation.
There's only one possibility: this person in front of me is a clueless sucker who's been easily fooled.
Thinking of this, he secretly felt pleased with himself. It seemed that his ability to deceive people had improved, and he should seize the opportunity today to close a few more deals.
Liu Yi's lips curled up, a smile appearing on his face.
Acquiring a section of the World Tree for only 80 million Innate Spirit Crystal is truly a worthwhile deal.
Even if it ultimately fails to survive in cultivation, it would still be a top-tier material for weapon crafting.
He strolled along the street, continuing to look at the surrounding stalls, trying to find some more useful treasures.
Although he saw many rare and precious treasures along the way, most of them were useless to him.
He possesses the primordial energy of the World Origin, so ordinary treasures naturally cannot catch his eye.
"Sigh, it seems there's no hope of finding anything useful at these street stalls."
As for Cultivation Method Secret Manual at the level of Immortal Emperor, Immortal Venerable, or even Ruler, they are simply out of the question.
In the entire Mystic Firmament Void Market, it is likely that only the Mystic Firmament Myriad Treasures Pavilion, which operates within the market, sells these items.
But I'm not in a hurry. I'll explore the market first and then go take a look.
He continued strolling forward, when suddenly he came across an open area ahead, from which came sounds of surprise or regret.
Curious, he stepped forward and saw a plaque that read, "Mystic Firmament Void Fishery".
A message entered his soul. "Each person who pays 100,000 Innate Spirit Crystal can fish here once; all treasures caught belong to the fisherman."
After receiving the message, Liu Yi couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
To my utter surprise, upon arriving at the Mystic Firmament Void Market, I saw people fishing.
However, what they were fishing for wasn't fish, but all sorts of rare and exotic treasures.
He stepped forward and saw a row of cultivators holding fishing rods, casting their lines into the lake formed by the convergence of chaotic void currents, hoping to catch the treasures hidden at the bottom of the lake.
The sounds of people talking and discussing could be heard all around me.
"Oh dear! I fished ten times in a row and caught nothing. What bad luck!"
"I've fished three times, and come up empty-handed each time. Is there really treasure in this lake?"
"There are definitely treasures, but they're extremely difficult to catch; it all depends on luck."
"Speaking of which, where did the treasures in the Mystic Firmament Void Fishery come from? Surely they weren't thrown in by people from the market?"
"I do know about this. The treasures in the lake were all salvaged from the endless void and flowed directly into this lake. Even the people in the market don't know what's hidden inside."
"Even Innate Spirit Treasure have been caught by fish; it's safe to say that any treasure could potentially appear."
After listening to the idle chatter of the surrounding cultivators, Liu Yi finally figured out the details of the Mystic Firmament Void Fishery, and a hint of interest immediately appeared in his eyes.
This fishing method, which relies entirely on luck, is quite novel, and it's no wonder that the place is packed with people, all dreaming of getting rich overnight.
But rare treasures are not so easy to obtain; most people end up leaving empty-handed.
But he's always been lucky, so why not give it a try?
It only costs 100,000 Innate Spirit Crystal each time, which is not expensive. Even if you gain nothing, you can just treat it as a pastime.
Having made up his mind, he went straight forward, paid 100,000 Innate Spirit Crystal, received a fishing rod, walked to the lakeside, and cast the special fishing hook into the lake.
He then secretly released his Divine Sense, intending to investigate what treasures were hidden at the bottom of the lake.
However, a layer of powerful and overwhelming force enveloped the lake surface, directly blocking his Divine Sense from probing.
A golden light flashed in his eyes as he activated his Dharma Eye of Delusion Breaking to look at the lake, but he was still blocked by that supreme power and could not see the scene at the bottom of the lake.
His heart sank suddenly.
To be able to completely block his detection without leaving the slightest flaw is something that even Immortal Venerable could not accomplish.
Although the Immortal Venerable is above the Immortal Emperor, the two are ultimately in the same realm and have not undergone a fundamental transformation. It is impossible for him to be so easily prevented from spying on them.
Only Ruler can possess such power.
Behind the Mystic Firmament Void Market lies Ruler!
This discovery deeply shocked Liu Yi.
No wonder the Mystic Firmament Void Market can stand firm in all the heavens and myriad realms, and even has the confidence to rank Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable on the Heaven-reaching Rankings.
If there's Ruler backing you up, then everything falls into place.
Suddenly, the fishing rod dipped sharply, instantly pulling him back to reality from his reverie.
Seeing that he had actually caught something, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
It seems my luck isn't so bad after all; I just wonder what kind of treasure I've caught this time.
