Celestial Market

"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's end it here. I'll take this little guy and leave first!"

Shi Ji's eyes were cold as he clasped his hands at Dou Hua. Then, he waved his sleeves and left with Zhuowen.

After Shi Ji left, the Master of Taiyin's face was extremely gloomy. He looked at Dou Hua and said, "Divine Master, you have to give us an explanation, right?"

Dou Hua's eyes were calm as he said, "This person is not someone you can afford to offend. You might not be familiar with his name, but you've probably heard of his nickname."

"Hmm?

What's his name? "the usually taciturn Immemorial Master asked, which was rare for him.

"His name is Shi Ji. In the ancient times, his nickname was the Fighting Buddha Demon Saint!" Dou Hua said calmly.

The Master of Taiyin's expression changed when he heard this. He felt as if there were countless thunderbolts exploding in his head. Then, he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

It wasn't just the Master of Taiyin. The Masters of Taiyang, Taixu, and Immemorial Battlefields were all shocked. Their expressions weren't any better than the Master of Taiyin's.

"It's the Fighting Buddha Demon Saint. That's a legendary peak expert from the ancient times. It's said that the Fighting Buddha Demon Saint was a peak True Immortal in the ancient times. He crushed countless True Immortals. Many experts trembled when they heard his name. Didn't they say that the Fighting Buddha Demon Saint died?

He's actually still alive? "Taixu said with a serious expression.

The usually taciturn Immemorial Master's eyes flashed. He said, "I once entered the Nether Corpse Forbidden Grounds, but I didn't feel any aura of the Fighting Buddha Demon Saint. That means that the Fighting Buddha Demon Saint doesn't exist in the Nether Corpse Forbidden Grounds. Then, where has he been for the past 65,555 years?"

The Taiyang Master's expression darkened. He said, "65,555 years ago, the Fighting Buddha Demon Saint was a peak True Immortal. Then, 65,555 years have passed. Doesn't that mean that he's reached an even higher level?"

On the other hand, the Master of Lunar Master's face was gloomy. If what the Master of Sun said was true, that Shi Ji was the Fighting Buddha Demon Saint, and that his strength had reached the legendary realm, then the Master of Lunar Master began to regret his reckless actions.

At the same time, he was able to understand why Dou Hua would be so tolerant of Shi Ji. After all, Shi Ji was a renowned expert from the ancient times. Even Dou Hua did not dare to offend him.

However, Dou Hua shook his head and said, "Shi Ji isn't as powerful as you imagine him to be. He said that he has been trapped in the Smoke Whale for ten thousand years, and his cultivation has regressed instead of advancing. He's currently at the mid true immortal realm, but I don't know if he has any more trump cards up his sleeve."

"However, there is one thing. Shi Ji is the only expert who has survived from the ancient times. The ancient times were different from the present. The fact that Shi Ji was able to command the winds and clouds during the peak of martial arts is enough to prove that he's extraordinary. So, unless you have no other choice, you definitely can't offend someone like him."

The four Masters of the Battlefield looked at each other and nodded. Although Shi Ji's cultivation was not as powerful as they had imagined, he was someone from the ancient times after all. They would never believe that he did not have any powerful trump cards up his sleeve.

"That little bastard Zhuowen is really lucky!" the Master of Lunar Master said, extremely unwilling to accept this outcome.

Dou Hua glanced at the Master of Lunar Master indifferently and said, "Before the Ancient Battlefield opens, you definitely can't touch Zhuowen. Otherwise, there's no need for Shi Ji to do anything. I might just destroy you directly!"

"After the Ancient Battlefield opens, some of the old guys hidden in the six perilous places might come out. When that time comes, the Ancient Battlefield will become extremely chaotic. By then, whatever you want to do to Zhuowen will have nothing to do with me. I won't stop you!"

The Master of Lunar Master's eyes lit up. He immediately cupped his fists at Dou Hua and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Master God. I won't act recklessly!"

"Mm, it's good that you know. Now, all of you can leave. The opening of the Ancient Battlefield can't be done without your help."

As Dou Hua spoke, he waved his sleeve and left with Elder Gu. The four Masters of the Battlefield looked at each other and returned to their respective palaces.

In the entire inner hall, the many Earthly Immortals who used their Divine Senses to investigate were all shocked. In particular, some of them who knew Zhuowen felt extremely conflicted.

Originally, they thought that Zhuowen was just a lone wolf. They did not expect him to have such a powerful backer supporting him.

"If it's not necessary, it's best not to provoke Zhuowen!"

Many Earthly Immortals began to fear Zhuowen. Although Zhuowen was only a Half Immortal, not to mention the great things he had done in the past, his identity as the disciple of the Fighting Buddha Demon Saint was enough to make many people shrink back.

A long rainbow flew over and landed in a courtyard, revealing the figures of Zhuowen and Shi Ji.

Shi Ji glanced deeply at Zhuo Wen and said, "Zhuo Wen, there's still some time before the battle of gods begins. It's best that you cultivate properly during this period of time. If you encounter any problems with your cultivation, then feel free to come look for me!"

After saying that, Shi Ji gave Zhuowen a few more instructions. Then, he waved his sleeve and left the courtyard.

Zhuowen's eyes flickered. From the beginning to the end, Shi Ji did not ask whether he had really taken away the item of the Master of Taiyin. Instead, he resolutely helped Zhuowen bear the burden. This made Zhuowen feel a warm current in his heart.

Time gradually passed. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. During this period of time, Zhuo Wenfan would take the initiative to look for Shi Ji whenever he encountered a problem in his cultivation. Shi Ji would also explain it in great detail and seriously, giving Zhuo Wenfan a feeling of enlightenment.

As for the Battle of the Gods, the time had not been completely set. However, Zhuowen heard from Shi Ji that Dou Hua had decided to make sufficient preparations for the Primordial Battlefield before starting the Battle of the Gods.

As for the Yin and Yang Qi he had obtained from Yun Ran, Zhuowen did not recklessly absorb it because Xiao Hei had said that the Yin and Yang Qi was incomplete. If he absorbed it, there would probably be significant side effects. As a result, Zhuowen did not plan on using the Yin and Yang Qi.

On this day, Zhuowen sat in his palace. Suddenly, a golden streak of light shot in from outside. Afterwards, a row of golden characters appeared before Zhuowen.

Zhuowen studied the golden characters. His eyes flickered, and then he waved his sleeve and left the palace.

Two figures hovered outside Zhuowen's palace. They were none other than Xue Hui and Old Man Jue, who had come with Zhuowen.

When they saw Zhuowen come out, Xue Hui and Old Man Jue immediately beamed with joy. Soon after, they arrived before Zhuowen in a respectful manner. Their faces were filled with eagerness.

Zhuowen glanced at Xue Hui and Old Man Jue nonchalantly. Ever since the incident with the Master of Taiyin, the two of them would often visit him. Of course, apart from the two of them, there were also a few other Earthly Immortals who would often visit Zhuowen. They wanted to establish a good relationship with Shi Ji through Zhuowen.

Zhuowen basically refused to see the other Earthly Immortals with such intentions. However, Xue Hui and Old Man Jue were part of the group that had come together. Moreover, he had some friendship with the two of them, so Zhuowen would occasionally see them. However, he basically did not come out to greet them personally.

However, he had come out this time because the information that the two of them had provided had piqued his interest.

"Brother Xue, Brother Jue!

Is the Immortal Market established in the Chaos Temple really as miraculous as you said? "Zhuowen asked in a deep voice.

Xue Hui smiled and said, "My Lord, you probably don't know. The Immortal Market is a grand event that happens once in a hundred years. Think about it, the Central Plains is so vast and there are so few Celestial Sage experts. If the Chaos Temple did not summon them, how could so many Celestial Sage experts gather here?"

"I'm afraid this is the only time in a thousand years. Treasures that are hard to find outside can be easily found in the Immortal Market. After all, this is a collective trade between the peak experts of the Central Plains!"

"Moreover, the organizer is the number one beauty of the Everlasting Family, Ji Chenyan. With the status of the Everlasting Family and Ji Chenyan's reputation, this Immortal Market will be extremely lively!"

Old Man Jue nodded and said, "Brother Xue is right. This Immortal Market is definitely unprecedented. After all, all the Celestial Sage experts of the Central Plains have gathered here. If you want to exchange for any treasures, this Immortal Market will not disappoint you."

"Ji Chenyan of the Everlasting Family?"

Zhuowen raised his eyebrows. The Everlasting Family was the family that controlled the Everlasting Saint Talisman among the nine great Saint Talisman Families. Moreover, the Everlasting Family was publicly acknowledged as the number one family among the nine great Saint Talisman Families.

Whether it was the number of experts or the foundation of the Everlasting Family, they were far superior to the other eight great Saint Talisman Families.

Of course, the most terrifying one was the Everlasting Saint Talisman. The first ancestor of the Everlasting Family, who possessed the Everlasting Saint Talisman, was extremely talented. He studied the Everlasting Saint Talisman alone and created a cultivation technique that made many experts of the Central Plains pale.

This cultivation technique was called the Art of Everlasting Immortality. Although the cultivators of this cultivation technique were unlikely to be immortal, their recovery ability was extremely strong. Ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to kill the experts of the Everlasting Family who cultivated the Art of Everlasting Immortality.

Therefore, the cultivators of the Everlasting Family were far more terrifying than other cultivators of the same cultivation level. They could often easily fight those of a higher cultivation level.

Among the nine great Saint Talisman Families, only the Everlasting Family could comprehend a powerful cultivation technique from the Saint Talisman and use it as a medium to communicate with the Saint Talisman. This was also the main reason why the Everlasting Family was ranked number one among the nine great Saint Talisman Families.

After all, the Art of Everlasting Immortality alone could create an extremely troublesome expert.

Moreover, the Everlasting Saint Talisman was extremely powerful. It was said that the person who controlled the Everlasting Saint Talisman possessed endless vitality and luck. Even a peak True Immortal would find it difficult to kill the person who controlled the Everlasting Saint Talisman.
