This sword was too powerful, so powerful that even the white-robed man who had almost attained sainthood said, “Whoever holds it will definitely be devoured by its owner.”
He couldn’t use it yet; he needed to wait until his cultivation level was higher before he could slowly study it.
Then he took the storage ring from Wu Yuan’s finger and checked it with his divine sense.
The resources inside the storage ring were even richer than those in the Temple of Light’s treasury.
Crystals, magic herbs, magical artifacts, cultivation manuals, jade plates, and spiritual materials—everything imaginable was available.
Wu Yuan served as president of the Void Merchant Guild for tens of thousands of years, accumulating wealth far beyond the imagination of ordinary Golden Immortal cultivators.
David then searched the storage rings of all the deceased Divine Race cultivators. Even though the resources in these ordinary cultivators’ storage rings were limited, every little bit was still beneficial, so why not take them?
These resources, together with those given to him by the man in white, were enough for him to break through from the ninth rank of the True Immortal Realm to the Golden Immortal Realm.
David put away the storage ring and turned to walk towards the void passage.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back.
The grey-white land was a scene of desolation, marked with traces of battle everywhere.
Black smoke rose from the ruins of a stone tomb under a gray sky. The corpses of the gods and cultivators of the Void Merchant Guild were scattered on the ground, their golden and dark red blood mixed together, forming a strange and bloody scene on the sand.
In the distance, gray mist floated slowly in the sky, like a gray river that flowed silently.
In the distance, the remains of a slumbering ancient soul howled softly, as if singing a heart-wrenching elegy for this battle.
David averted his gaze and continued walking towards the empty passage.
His footsteps were steady, every step firm and solid, like a traveler who had crossed countless mountains and rivers and finally found his way home.
He didn’t know if he would ever have the chance to return to this ancient battlefield.
However, he would not forget this place.
Because it was here that he received the inheritance of the white-robed man, obtained the Chaos Pearl, and obtained enough resources to advance to the Golden Immortal realm.
It was here that he finished off Wu Yuan, finished off Yan Huo, and severed both the hands of the Void Merchant Guild and the Divine Race on Eighteenth Heaven.
From today on, no one in the Eighteen Heavens can threaten him anymore.
This time, however, they had another enemy: the Void Merchant Guild.
Whether it was the gods or the Void Merchant Guild, both had influence beyond the Celestial Realm. Thinking about this made David dizzy.
However, since the situation has come to this, we can only deal with it as time goes by.
The entrance to the void passage was three hundred miles to the north.
David walked for about two hours, crossing swamps, through forests, and across scorched land, and finally saw a silver-white light gate.
The portal floated in the air, and the ancient runes on the portal frame flowed slowly, as if it was breathing.
Behind the portal is a void passage that leads to the outside world.
David stood in front of the light gate, took a deep breath, then stepped in.
Within the void passage, spatial turbulence continued to roar wildly.
This time, however, David left with much more ease than when he arrived.
His cultivation level rose from the eighth rank of the True Immortal Realm to the ninth rank. His chaotic power became more concentrated than before. The Chaos Pearl slowly rotated within his body, releasing a continuous flow of chaos power, making his protective shield thicker and sturdier.
The spatial sword struck the light shield and melted soundlessly, without even causing a ripple.
He walked for about fifteen minutes and saw the exit from the passage.
It was a golden light gate, behind the gate stretched the sky of the eighteen heavens.
David stepped out of the portal and landed on a snow-covered expanse of ice.
Three blazing suns hung high in the sky, their golden, silvery, and red rays intertwining to dye the entire expanse of ice with three majestic colors.
The ice field was silent, except for the roar of the cold wind and the faint sound of ice crystals breaking.
In the distance, Tianlan City’s floating islands appeared and disappeared among the clouds, like fairy-tale mountains floating in a dream.
David stared towards Tianlan City, a cold glint flashing through his purple eyes.
He would no longer go to the Void Merchant Guild.
Wu Yuan had died, Su Jingqiu had died, and the power of the Void Chamber of Commerce on Eighteenth Heaven had weakened significantly.
They wouldn’t be bothering him again any time soon.
However, in the long run, the Void Merchants would not give up so easily.
Someone must be responsible for Wu Yuan’s death.
And that person is him.
David wasn’t afraid.
He finished off Wu Yuan because Wu Yuan deserved to die.
If the higher ups of the Void Merchant Guild came after him for revenge, he would have to accept it.
David averted his gaze and turned to walk south.
That was the direction to Qingyun Cave.
Jiang Xuelan was still training in the Demon Suppressing Tower, unaware of everything that was happening outside.
He did not know that the man had gone to the ancient battlefield, that he had obtained the white-robed man’s inheritance, or that he had finished off Wu Yuan and Yan Huo.
He didn’t know anything, only that he was waiting for her.
David quickened his pace.
He needed to return to Qingyun Cave Heaven, go into seclusion to refine the Chaos Pearl, break through to the Golden Immortal Realm, and go to the Twentieth Heaven to find the God King.
