The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2534: Disdain

The nine Heavenly Domains of the Mixed Element Immortal Domain, each has an Immortal Venerable Tower.

Xu Yiming has stepped into the Immortal Venerable Realm, and once he acquires the Immortal Venerable Seal, his strength will naturally see a significant boost.

“Yes!” Xu Yiming responded.

The Immortal Venerable Seal must be acquired. Without it, future cultivation will be greatly affected. The Immortal Venerable Seal can not only enhance a cultivator’s combat power but also assist in increasing cultivation speed.

The biggest difference between those Fake Immortal Venerables and true Immortal Venerables is that Fake Immortal Venerables cannot enter the Immortal Venerable Tower and thus cannot acquire the Immortal Venerable Seal, which is why they cannot be compared to true Immortal Venerables.

The captain of Hongmeng City Guard, Shi Tianshuo, is a Fake Immortal Venerable.

In the days that followed, Hongmeng City continued to expand at an extremely fast pace. The number of active cultivators in the city climbed to higher numbers every day.

The businesses of Hongmeng Pill Tower and Hongmeng Cultivation Tower were also increasingly booming.

The Pill Tower was somewhat better since there were always Pill Masters and Immortal Pill Masters joining, thus ensuring the supply of elixirs in the Pill Tower, at least meeting the sales of regular elixirs. However, the Hongmeng Cultivation Tower was overwhelmed, as there were too many cultivators wanting to use the cultivation rooms. Even though there were many cultivation rooms in Hongmeng Cultivation Tower, they were not enough. Cultivators had to queue to use them. Even Level 4, 5, and 6 Cultivation Rooms were insufficient.

The Tower Master Luo Hao once suggested to Jing Yan to increase the usage fees of cultivation rooms, but Jing Yan did not agree. He just said that when the time was right, another cultivation tower would be built in the city.

More than a hundred years passed.

Xu Yiming’s realm gradually stabilized. Many cultivators take a long time to stabilize their realm after just breaking through to the Immortal Venerable Realm, but Xu Yiming stabilized quickly. The reason is that he has unique conditions in Hongmeng City. The city has all kinds of resources and materials, and City Lord Jing Yan was very generous. Whatever Xu Yiming needed, he would provide.

Because of this, Xu Yiming was able to stabilize his realm in just over a century.

“City Lord, I plan to head to the Immortal Venerable Tower tomorrow,” Xu Yiming said as he appeared before Jing Yan again.

The Immortal Venerable Tower in Kunling Heaven is not far from the Thunder Domain.

This Immortal Venerable Tower is controlled by a Heavenly Domain Master called Diao Rong. Kunling Heaven has five Heavenly Domain Masters, and Diao Rong is one of them. The Palace Master of Yama Palace, Yu Hentian, is also a Heavenly Domain Master.

Diao Rong Heavenly Lord did not establish any particular power in Kunling Heaven. He maintains a neutral attitude toward the superpowers and other strong forces in the heavenly domain. Any cultivator who reaches the Immortal Venerable Realm is free to find him to enter the Immortal Venerable Tower.

This Diao Rong Heavenly Lord is somewhat similar to Master Ru Yueyi; he has no enemies in the heavenly domain. However, Master Ru Yueyi is easygoing, while Diao Rong Heavenly Lord is somewhat aloof. The strong forces also show Diao Rong Heavenly Lord respect, perhaps for the sake of balance. If a superpower were to occupy such a thing as an Immortal Venerable Tower, it would likely disrupt the balance. Other superpowers would not be happy to see one power control the Immortal Venerable Tower.

“Alright!”

“Xu Yiming, this is an Advanced VIP Token. When you meet Diao Rong Heavenly Lord, please pass it to him on my behalf.” Jing Yan took out a Spirit Talisman, which was the Advanced VIP Token of Hongmeng City, symbolizing the identity of an advanced VIP of Hongmeng City.

Jing Yan’s act of sending an Advanced VIP Token to Diao Rong Heavenly Lord was also a gesture of goodwill.

“Yes!” Xu Yiming replied.

The next day, Xu Yiming left Hongmeng City with the Advanced VIP Token, heading for Diao Rong Heavenly Lord’s residence.

It was not far from the Thunder Domain, and Xu Yiming could reach it within a month.

On his journey from leaving Hongmeng City to exiting the Thunder Domain and arriving at Diao Rong Heavenly Lord’s residence, everything went smoothly. Xu Yiming didn’t even encounter any bandits or robbers.

In a gray palace, Xu Yiming met Diao Rong Heavenly Lord. Diao Rong Heavenly Lord appeared rather aged, with long gray-white beard.

“You are a newly advanced Immortal Venerable? What’s your name?” Diao Rong Heavenly Lord asked with a serious expression, scrutinizing Xu Yiming.

Xu Yiming was brought into the palace by one of Diao Rong Heavenly Lord’s Guards. Without the guidance of the Guard, it would be hard to break through the layers of formations outside. The Guard, upon hearing Xu Yiming claim he was a newly advanced Immortal Venerable, naturally brought him directly to Diao Rong Heavenly Lord.

“Junior Xu Yiming, I just recently broke into the Immortal Venerable Realm. I’m here to see Diao Rong Heavenly Lord because I want to enter the Immortal Venerable Tower to acquire the Immortal Venerable Seal,” Xu Yiming said, bowing slightly in respect.

“Xu Yiming?” Diao Rong Heavenly Lord frowned slightly, as he had not heard the name before.

Xu Yiming, this newly advanced Immortal Venerable, seemed to have emerged out of nowhere.

“Where do you come from?” Diao Rong Heavenly Lord asked again.

“Reporting to Heavenly Lord, I come from Hongmeng City,” Xu Yiming said.

“Hongmeng City?” Diao Rong Heavenly Lord’s eyebrows did not relax, as he stared at Xu Yiming with a peculiar glint in his eyes.

Xu Yiming is a Soul Cultivator and has entered the Immortal Venerable Realm, giving him extraordinary senses. He now felt that the attitude of Diao Rong Heavenly Lord toward him was not warm, but rather cold.

“Xu Yiming, is your master Jing Yan?” Diao Rong Heavenly Lord paused before asking.

“Yes, both the City Lord and I come from Faro Heaven,” Xu Yiming replied honestly.

“Heavenly Lord, our City Lord asked me to pass this to you.” Xu Yiming took out the Advanced VIP Token and, with both hands, offered it to Diao Rong Heavenly Lord.

Diao Rong Heavenly Lord looked at Xu Yiming and then at the token in his hand.

He did not immediately accept the token.

Diao Rong Heavenly Lord, of course, knew about the Advanced VIP Token of Hongmeng City. He understood that it was extremely difficult to obtain; even the upper echelons of superpowers rarely got one. Jing Yan’s gesture of sending him an Advanced VIP Token was a clear sign of goodwill.

After a long while, just as Xu Yiming began to feel uneasy, Diao Rong Heavenly Lord finally accepted the Advanced VIP Token.

Xu Yiming also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Heh, City Lord Jing Yan from Faro Heaven has indeed done many remarkable things in Kunling Heaven! Others might be eager to have a Hongmeng City Advanced VIP Token, but I am not interested,” Diao Rong Heavenly Lord suddenly chuckled, his laughter carrying a hint of coldness, seemingly dismissive of the Advanced VIP Token.

Diao Rong Heavenly Lord’s words carried another implication: that Jing Yan was overly arrogant, sending an Advanced VIP Token without coming in person, merely letting a newly advanced Immortal Venerable under his command bring it over.
