Chapter 697: Entering the Blood Sky Continent
Two days later, Ye Changsheng received news that the inter-continental teleportation array was ready and they could set off.
The group stood up, and Tian Feier turned into a storage bracelet and hung it on Ye Changsheng's wrist.
Under the guidance of the Chamber of Commerce envoy, Ye Changsheng and others came to a heavily guarded secret hall and saw a giant magic circle emitting five-colored light.
In the hall outside the magic circle, more than sixty monks of different races with different auras and cultivation levels stood there.
There are more than a dozen Mahayana cultivators, and the rest are mostly in the fusion stage, with some in the refining stage.
In the magic circle, a group of Merchant Alliance guards were busy filling the densely packed grooves with pieces of top-grade spirit stones.
Every time the cross-continental teleportation array is activated, it consumes one billion spirit stones.
If there are many people being teleported, the consumption of spirit stones will increase .
But a maximum of sixty-four people can be teleported each time.
Each quota in the Chamber of Commerce auction is about 100 million spirit stones. Just by using this teleportation array, a lot of spirit stones can be earned each time.
"We need to arrange various teleportation arrays among the human race. The technology of teleportation arrays is not difficult to obtain through trade. I have also obtained a lot of materials from the storage bracelets of those Mahayana masters!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself as he watched this scene.
"Brother Ye, Biying will receive you when you get there. She will also introduce you to the details of the matter that requires you to take action once!"
"For some reasons, Ming cannot go to the Blood Sky Continent, so I will not accompany Brother Ye there!" Ming Zun said as he stood beside Ye Changsheng.
Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Ye Changsheng's eyes. He had heard that before Ming Zun became an immortal, because of a broken heart, he had sworn a poisonous oath that he would never set foot on the Blood Sky Continent in his life.
Nodding his head, Ye Changsheng said, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days, Brother Ming. As for the matter of taking action, as long as it is confirmed, I will definitely do my best!"
"With Brother Ye's words, Ming is relieved!"
The two of them gathered together to talk. Although the other Mahayana monks around them all had calm expressions, their attention was all focused on them.
When they saw that Ming Zun and Ye Changsheng's conversation had stopped, Mahayana masters from other races kept coming forward to chat with them enthusiastically.
There is no one who doesn't want to get familiar with them.
After a while, the guards of the Merchant Alliance had filled up their spirit stones and retreated one after another.
When Ming Zun saw this, he said loudly: "The teleportation array is ready, fellow Taoists can set off!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone stepped onto the giant magic circle.
After a burst of bright light, the figures of Ye Changsheng and others blurred and then disappeared.
"Finally they left. Mr. Chief Steward, is that dragon really mixed in among them?"
After seeing these people disappear, another person in the hall, Fairy Feiyun who had greeted Ye Changsheng and others, let out a long sigh, then turned and said to Ming Zun.
After taking a look at the formation, Ming Zun said calmly, "There are sixty people in total. As expected, one more person's transmission energy was consumed than expected."
"These restrictions in the hall have no effect at all. I don't know how this person concealed it!" Fairy Feiyun said in amazement.
"The magical powers of the True Dragon lineage are unfathomable and beyond our ability to guess. However, after getting rid of the big trouble of the Nightmare Dragon's Blood, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Ming Zun said with a smile on his face.
“It’s fortunate that you, sir, have a close friend among the dragon clan who informed us in time, so we knew that thing was not the blood of the ancestor dragon. Otherwise, whether we really sold this thing or used powerful means to hurt the people of the dragon clan, our alliance would not end well.” Fairy Feiyun said with emotion.
"Hehe, originally it is not impossible to directly hand this item over to the Dragon Clan. But this move would seem a bit too weak and would have a great impact on the prestige of our alliance."
“It’s better to let the dragon people take them away. Although it will also damage the reputation of the auction, it is the lesser of two evils.” Ming Zun said lightly.
"That's true. But even if we want to use negotiation, it's probably too late. We can only adopt this compromise." Fairy Feiyun replied respectfully.
…
After the white light in front of them faded, the figures of Ye Changsheng and others appeared on the Blood Sky Continent.
There was a giant teleportation array under his feet, but nearby was an unusually empty bluestone ground. Apart from a figure standing quietly, there was no other sign of anyone else.
"Welcome all fellow Taoists to the Blood Sky Continent!" The man who was standing and waiting spoke with a smile, his voice extremely calm.
This is a monk wearing a gray robe.
The moment they saw this person, many people in the teleportation array suddenly changed their expressions, and one Mahayana even exclaimed: "It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Biying!"
"Daoist Biying is here to welcome us in person!"
For a moment, the people in the teleportation array felt flattered, even the Mahayana cultivators were no exception.
As the chief deacon of the Helian Merchant Alliance in the Blood Sky Continent, Biying is also a famous person, and his reputation in the spiritual world is no less than that of Mingzun.
Such existence is incomparable to ordinary Mahayana practitioners like them.
It's a bit like the difference between an ordinary early Nascent Soul cultivator and a great late Nascent Soul cultivator in the human world.
The gray-robed monk smiled and greeted these Mahayana monks, then looked at Ye Changsheng and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, we meet again!"
Ye Changsheng carefully looked at the old monk and nodded: "It's been many years since we last met. How have you been, Taoist friend?"
This person is not Biying's real body, but one of her incarnations. However, this incarnation exudes an aura of Mahayana level.
"I haven't changed much over the years, but you, Fellow Daoist Ye, have become increasingly powerful!" Biying said with a shudder in her heart after taking a quick look at Ye Changsheng.
Seeing the two of them talking, the others knew very well that the reason why Biying came here to greet them personally was entirely because of Ye Changsheng.
So, these people left tactfully.
In the blink of an eye, only Ye Changsheng and his group and the gray-robed old monk were left there.
"Regarding the matter of taking action, Ming Zun should have already mentioned it to Fellow Daoist Ye. If Fellow Daoist Ye has time, we might as well discuss it in detail. I will tell Fellow Daoist Ye the specific situation!"
Biying glanced at the person behind Ye Changsheng and said.
"These are the people I trust the most. If you have anything to say, just say it directly!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
"Okay, since Fellow Daoist Ye said so, then I will just speak frankly. I wonder how much you know about the underworld?" The monk nodded and asked with a gleam in his eyes.
"It is indeed the case!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
When Bingfeng, Yinyue and others heard the old monk's words, they all showed surprise on their faces.
The underworld, in the legends of the spiritual world, is an existence on the same level as the fairy world.
However, no one has ever seen this interface, so this rumor has never been confirmed.
"The underworld? I have only heard some legends. Could the actions that fellow Daoist mentioned be related to these?" Ye Changsheng said lightly.
"Yes, about a hundred years ago, when our alliance was exploring a space gap in the Blood Sky Continent, we accidentally discovered the entrance to a new small world."
"Oh?" Ye Changsheng showed an interested look on his face.
Yin Yue and the others also showed strange expressions on their faces.
But they knew that Ye Changsheng's current cultivation was largely related to that small world.
There was no telling how many people on Tiandao Island had soared into the sky because of that small world.
“Haha, Fellow Daoist Ye is indeed a man who has seen the world. If an ordinary Mahayana heard the news of this small world , I wonder how surprised he would be!”
When Biying saw the reactions of Ye Changsheng and the girls, a light flashed in her eyes and she said in surprise.
"I have some friendship with the True Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix. I have also seen some new small worlds in the Phoenix Nest. I can be considered a worldly-wise person!" Ye Changsheng said with a faint smile.
"So that's how it is. The small world that our alliance discovered is certainly not comparable to the world controlled by the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan!"
"That world, although it is a new small world, should have existed for many years. It's just that no advanced creatures have ever been born in it, and it has never been discovered by the outside world."
"The small world is not very big, but it is extremely rich in resources. However, just when our alliance was preparing to fully develop it, another world discovered its existence and also invaded it."
“And these newly appeared enemies are all ghosts, among them there are even some Yellow Spring Ghost Kings, who are comparable to Mahayana !”
"The world of ghosts? Could it be that these cultivators you encountered came from the underworld?" Miaoyu couldn't help asking after hearing this.
"What you said is both right and wrong. According to what these ghosts call themselves, the world they came from is called the underworld, and the power they belong to is the Ten Kings of the Underworld."
"However, according to our further investigation, this underworld should not be the underworld that is rumored!"
"After all, the strong people in this world are just ordinary Mahayana cultivators like us, and not higher-level creatures that can rival the True Immortals!" said the old monk, shaking his head.
"Then it seems that this world should just be a surface like the Underworld Ghost Kingdom that is suitable for powerful ghosts to survive?" Yin Yue said thoughtfully.
"Yes, according to our deduction, this so-called underworld should be similar to our spiritual world, and the so-called Ten Kings of the Underworld should be just some relatively powerful Mahayana monks!"
“But even so, the strength of this world is also very strong, and it is really difficult for our alliance to compete with it!” said the old monk with a wry smile.
"To be able to fight against an entire world with one's own strength, it seems that the strength of your Helian Merchant Alliance is even greater than I imagined!" Miaoyu smiled softly, with a hint of fear in her eyes.
When the old monk heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle and said, "Daoyou, you are wrong!"
"The reason why our alliance has been able to hold on until now is because the creatures that came from the underworld are only some ordinary Yellow Spring Ghost Kings. We have not seen the real Ten Kings of the Underworld yet!"
"Otherwise, our alliance will not be able to hold on!"
"So, you want me to help you?" Ye Changsheng asked.
