Chapter 722 - 566: Profound Crow Void Escape, Anomaly Emerges

Within the virtual hall of the Celestial Ruins Cloud Realm, the appearance of the Soul Weeping Tower elicited waves of amazement.After all, Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch was the Great Elder of the Blood Refining Demon Sect, a Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, known as the foremost of the demonic path.

"Who would’ve thought that Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch would really perish at the hands of us Human Race Cultivators, and who exactly was the Great Cultivator responsible..."

"Such a renowned individual, with formidable power, no ordinary Nascent Soul Great Cultivator would be his match."

"Could it be the hand of a Venerable Divinity Transformation?"

"It’s heard that True Monarch Cangwu, a Nascent Soul Great Perfection Cultivator from the Penglai Sect, has emerged, could it be him?"

"Alas! The Tier Four Top-Grade Demon Treasure Soul-Sobbing Tower, I desire it too, but even with ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones, selling myself wouldn’t afford it!"

"Indeed, indeed, it’s said this Demon Treasure is crafted with the lifelong essence of Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch, with astonishing power!"

"To think even the Soul Weeping Tower has appeared, no matter, I’ll offer eight Top-Grade Spirit Stones plus a Tier Four High-Grade Ink Essence Lingzhi, would fellow Daoist consider an exchange?"

In a moment.

The cultivators in the hall speculated endlessly, pondering who exactly was selling this item?

Yet, before treasures, the Nascent Soul Old Monsters present understood not to question the source and began offering their bids directly.

In the face of the impending battle, naturally, the more trump cards and techniques one possessed, the better, as these old monsters were remarkably fond of life.

"I offer five Top-Grade Spirit Stones, plus two Tier Four Top-Grade Spirit Grass!!"

"This item is mine for sure, ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"..."

Qin Ming was also amazed, for these Nascent Soul Old Monsters, who were usually stingy, seemed rather wealthy when serious action was taken.

Ultimately, this Demon Treasure was finally sold for a price of ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Counting the eight Top-Grade Spirit Stones Qin Ming held himself, he had a total of eighteen, which he estimated would allow him to activate the Tier Five Array three times.

For him, Top-Grade Spirit Stones were of great use, whether for cultivation or enhancing the Spirit Vein, they were indispensable.

However, this item was ultimately a scarce resource, even Nascent Soul Old Monsters had very few in stock.

Qin Ming initially thought that getting just a few pieces would be good enough, never expecting to exceed his own expectations.

Afterward.

The black market trade continued.

"Tier Four Middle-Grade Defensive Spiritual Treasure, Five Elements Spirit Fire Shield, a rare life-saving sacred item, exchange for a bottle of Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivation Pill, or Tier Four Middle-Grade healing pill."

...

"Ancient Immortal Sect’s Top-Tier Secret Technique ’Profound Crow Void Escape Technique’, it can instantly decompose the physical body into three thousand Spiritual Crows, reform the body thousands of miles away, this is performed using Nascent Soul as a guide to exhibit the Space Folding Technique, ignoring most void sealing Divine Technique methods, as long as a single Spiritual Crow survives, blood rebirth is possible... This Cultivation Technique has subsequent Soul Secret Techniques, can be comprehended independently, exchange for a Fire Attribute Tier Four offensive Spiritual Treasure."

Qin Ming nodded at the ancient jade scroll appearing on the light screen, somewhat tempted, estimating that such a top-tier secret technique certainly had conditions for cultivation requirements, otherwise this person wouldn’t easily exchange it, would have cultivated it long ago.

With the appearance of this secret technique.

Not just him, even the Nascent Soul old monsters around were all tempted, although the cost of performing the technique was rather substantial, but crucially, this Cultivation Technique could save lives!

Its greatest appeal lies in its ability to ignore void sealing, meaning escaping from the Nascent Soul Realm, or other restricting Spiritual Treasures’ confinement.

It was simply the top-tier secret technique for escaping.

The appearance of this secret technique also encountered frantic competition from everyone present, all proposing trade conditions.

But the middle-aged person was seemingly uninterested in those Spiritual Treasures.

Qin Ming pondered slightly, then immediately actualized his mind, projecting a ancient styled ink-colored Spiritual Ruler onto the hall’s light screen.

"Tier Four Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasure Eight Extremes Ruler! Hiss... Isn’t this the treasure of the Lihuo Palace?"

"It’s said that Master Lihuo perished at the hands of the demonic path, and his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure unexpectedly appeared here."

The gazes of the crowd inevitably fell on Qin Ming once again, but due to it being a phantom formed by illusions, nothing could be discerned.

Once the Eight Extremes Ruler appeared, the middle-aged person almost immediately said: "Deal! I exchange with fellow Daoist."

As the words fell, the phantom on the light screen vanished.

The Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance recorded it, and after leaving, the transaction would be settled.

Next.

One by one items were continuously traded out, all of them treasures that the Nascent Soul Old Monsters had kept at the bottom of their stock.

Eventually, even ancient treasures from the East Sea Sect appeared, whether seized or stolen remained unknown.

They might have flowed through the hands of the demonic path and ended up in the hands of those present.

Qin Ming also traded out all items acquired from previously slain Demonic Cultivators, exchanging what he could for Spirit Stones or other required cultivation resources.

After a day, the black market trade event concluded, Qin Ming considered it an insightful experience.

His Divine Thought exited the Celestial Ruins Cloud Realm without any discomfort.

Shortly after.

The masked young maid once again entered Qin Ming’s room, holding a jade scroll for transaction record and a exquisite storage pouch.

"Senior, here are your transaction items from the Celestial Ruins Cloud Realm."

She verified them with Qin Ming and the exchange was completed smoothly.

Once the transaction was complete.

Qin Ming’s figure became blurred and vanished directly from the valley...

Only leaving the maid stunned, revealing an excited expression, partly because from the transaction record it was obvious that this person was certainly a Great Cultivator.

On the other hand, having hosted such a large trade order customer, the rewards from the Commerce Alliance would surely be plentiful, her cultivation resources wouldn’t lack from now on...

...

After Qin Ming left Red Maple Valley, he returned toward Wangyue Island.

Inside the carriage of the Lingxiao Imperial Carriage, he took out the simple jade scroll recording the "Profound Crow Void Escape Technique" and began to browse through it.

A short while later.

Once he finished reading the contents of the cultivation technique, a look of realization crossed his face, and then the corners of his mouth curled into an inexplicable smile.

"As expected, cultivating this ancient secret technique requires extremely stringent preconditions. No wonder that old fellow was willing to trade it."

"Only cultivators with exceptionally strong divine souls can cultivate this technique to the introductory level, since one has to split the divine soul and integrate it into one’s own essence blood, with as many as three thousand soul crows... It can also be used for exploration."

"If the divine soul isn’t strong enough, it will burn the origin of the Nascent Soul..."

"The divine soul transforms... After the soul crows, they can fly beyond twice the range of a cultivator’s divine thought..."

"The subsequent technique, ’Ten Thousand Forms of Life,’ allows the split soul to inhabit vegetation and rocks, moving in a way that cannot be detected by a cultivator’s divine thought, and in case of danger, one can be reborn via objects. However, this life-saving technique comes at the cost of burning one’s lifespan."

Having finished reading this ancient secret technique, Qin Ming found it indeed suitable for his own cultivation.

On this trip, besides obtaining Top-Grade Spirit Stones, he also collected several rare auxiliary materials for refining the Divinity Transformation Ointment. Only a few types of spiritual materials were left before he could begin crafting this ancient divine medicine.

...

Several days later.

At the border between Wei Country in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm and the Beast Roar Mountain Range.

A small cultivation city resides here.

However, the once bustling Immortal City has now become a deserted city.

After undergoing several rounds of Descent Realm phenomena, due to its secluded location, the cultivation clans and loose cultivators that had gathered here all fled separately.

At the city gate, an old man and a child carrying large bags looked back wistfully at this homeland.

"Sanwa, let’s go, stop looking."

The late-stage Qi Cultivation old man sighed, saying to the four or five-year-old girl beside him.

The girl blinked her big eyes and asked innocently, "Grandpa, why do we have to leave Immortal Fate City?"

"Alas! I heard there’s going to be another war, everyone’s fled, and we have to find refuge elsewhere." The old man explained helplessly.

The girl asked again, "So where are we going? Do we have any other relatives?"

"Hmm... Let’s head to the Spirit Nest Islands. I heard that as long as you’re a cultivator with a clear background from the four countries, you can find protection there. Even many mortals have moved there." The old man seemed to have his plan ready.

Upon hearing this, the girl’s eyes lit up, "Grandpa, I know that place, is it the island ruled by True Monarch Wangyue?"

The Qi Cultivation old man nodded, "That’s right, Sanwa, do you know why True Monarch Wangyue, who was once just a Spirit Farmer, managed to cultivate all the way to the Nascent Soul True Monarch stage?"

"Sanwa doesn’t know."

"Hmm, listen well! Today I’ll tell you all about it. Before breaking through to the Nascent Soul, True Monarch Wangyue was extremely low-key, always adopting a methodical approach..."

"On his long journey in pursuit of longevity, he never acted without certainty, but when faced with issues, he was not overly cautious, instead decisive and ruthless."

"It’s said that those who practiced demonic cultivation would take detours upon hearing of True Monarch Wangyue’s fierce reputation when reaching the Southern Wilderness..."

"It’s said the True Monarch planted in his Spirit Field for hundreds of years. Even in the Nascent Soul stage, he still worked hard on farming, personally handling everything."

"Sanwa, in the future, you should learn this spirit well!"

"I understand, Grandpa. I will also work hard to cultivate land in the future!" The girl nodded emphatically.

The old man shook his head and sighed, "It’s not about cultivating land; there’s no future in being a Spirit Farmer... You’ll become a great Alchemist instead!"

"Okay, Grandpa!"

With that said, he summoned a Cyan Leaf Dharma Ship, ready to take the girl away.

But just at this moment.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a distorted black vortex exploded in the sky above Immortal Fate City.

Dark demonic qi surged out and spread in all directions.

Soon after, with a flash of black light, a group of over ten dark demonic silhouettes emerged from the black hole.

The leader was a middle-aged demonic cultivator with sheep horns on his head, possessing a formidable aura, having reached the late-stage Golden Core.

"Left Envoy, we’ve reached the Descent Realm target location."

The demonic cultivator behind him, holding an array disc, respectfully reported.

"Hmm, Demon Monarch instructed us to first infiltrate and act when the time is right. Go check if there are any living beings left in that empty city. If there are, leave no survivors." Left Envoy commanded indifferently.

"Yes! We will strictly follow the orders of the Left Envoy!"

Then, Left Envoy released his divine thought, scanning the surroundings, with a trace of bloodthirsty coldness appearing on his face.

"Hmm? There are two foolish ants still alive..."

The next moment.

The silhouette of Left Envoy transformed into a black light and disappeared, heading towards the two.

The old man, of course, witnessed the astonishing change above the Immortal City and couldn’t help but look terrified.

"Not good! It’s a void anomaly!"

"Quickly, run!"
