The Secret Store was not a place where illegal activities took place, and neither was Fate Creation Boy a dishonest merchant. Indeed, they cheated no one while doing business. Zhou Bao had stayed in this Dragon Ear City for three days and had acquired some knowledge about the pricing of commodities in the Infinite Star Sea. Now he knew what the
60,000 Top Grade Spiritual Stones
would fetch.
In comparison to the Seven-deity Regions, the Alliance of 13 Realms and the Milky Way Realm, which had dominated an entire Star Area, had abundant resources. They had more resources than the endless Sea Area in the Heaven Realm. However, like the Heaven Realm, the quantity of pneuma in their world was significantly reduced since the Necromancer’s Tribulation in olden times. Owing to their vast land area, they had very rich resources. In these two Star Areas, medicinal herbs for strengthening bodies were readily available, and people never lacked for elixirs like the Bone-Forging Pill. The items they lacked were Upper-Grade Spiritual items, Pure Yang Qi, and Pure Yang Celestial Devices.
However, in terms of ordinary and lower level resources as well as the number of spiritual weapons and celestial devices, these two Star Areas had the advantage over the Seven-deity Regions. In respect of Top Grade resources, they were not better off than the Seven-deity Regions. The total number of Pure Yang Celestial Devices they owned could be more, but taking into account their vast land and great popularity, the number per capita was even less than that of the Seven-deity Regions. Therefore, Pure Yang Celestial Devices became more valuable. Thanks to the huge benefits they obtained when exploring the Infinite Star Sea, some giant schools even acquired fairy weapons. That was why they were always ranked higher than the Seven-deity Regions in terms of the number of fairy weapons and Pure Yang Celestial Devices. Otherwise, they would be considered inferior to the Seven-deity Regions.
Compared to the Seven-deity Regions, the only advantage these two Star Areas held was the abundance of Spiritual Stones. These two Star Areas owned many mine veins of Spiritual Stones. Therefore they were able to extract a lot of Spiritual Stones, which were called
Mysterious Objects
in the Seven-deity Regions. Meanwhile, in the Heaven Realm, regardless whether it was the Seven-deity Regions or the Sea Area, their mine veins of Spiritual Stones had been depleted a long time ago. As a result, Spiritual Stones could only be used as Mysterious Objects instead of currency.
But there were still plenty of Spiritual Stone mine veins in the Purple Scorpion Star Area, the Milky Way Star Area and the Sea Area. This guaranteed a sufficient supply for the daily circulation among practitioners. Of course, we are only talking about Low-Grade Spiritual Stones.
Medium Grade and Top Grade Spiritual Stones were really precious, let alone the legendary Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.
After the Necromancer’s Tribulation incident, the exchange ratio between Low-Grade Spiritual Stones and Medium Grade Spiritual Stones in the medieval period was 1:10, and so too between Medium Grade Spiritual Stones and Top Grade Spiritual Stones.
In the present world, this ratio had increased 10 times. Now, the number of Low-Grade Spiritual Stones that one Medium Spiritual Stone could be exchanged for had risen from 10 to 100, while the number of Medium Spiritual Stones that one Top Grade Spiritual Stone could be exchanged for had climbed from 100 to 10,000. As time passed by, the value of Low-Grade Spiritual Stones continued to increase, and its purchasing power was highly enhanced. Now, no matter if it was in the Infinite Star Sea, the two Star Areas, or in the 14 macro worlds, the purchasing power of Low-Grade Spiritual Stones was also ten times higher than that in olden times.
And that was the reason why only 100 Top Grade Spiritual Stones were required in order to buy an ordinary Pure Yang Celestial Device. Now 100 Top Grade Spiritual Stones could represent the entire fortune of a medium school. If you offered 10,000 Top Grade Spiritual Stones in the market, it was more than enough to disrupt the fragile financial order of the Infinite Star Sea or even the two Star Areas.
Therefore, though Venerable Black Turtle made only a bit of profit for the Secret Store in this dealing, in general, the prices were pretty fair.
Right now, the 60,000 or more Spiritual Stones that Zhou Bao was carrying cost a colossal sum of money. It was equivalent to a large part of the treasury owned by a super large school. Even for a super large school, it had been impossible to raise this sum of cash in such a short period. Just like those rich men in Zhou Bao’s previous life, people like Bill Gates and Buffet who claimed to own assets worth billions of dollars, they still would not have been able to raise 20 billion dollars in one day even if you ordered them to do so. That kind of act would surely devastate the market!
Now, Zhou Bao suddenly released more than 50 Pure Yang Celestial Devices and over 200 various celestial devices into the market, which meant the market had been dealt a hard blow. But fortunately, the Secret Store bought a large portion of those celestial devices. Otherwise, that would have caused quite a stir in the Infinite Star Sea. However, buying those devices from Zhou Bao had created some problems in the capital turnover for the entire Secret Store. Of course, those issues were beyond Zhou Bao’s current expectations.
Even if he had thought about those problems, they were not his problems.
Now, carrying a large sum of money, and having made slight changes to his appearance, Zhou Bao, with the information obtained from Mysterious Turtle Sage from this deal, headed for the Transmitting Hall with a sinister smile.
He had made minor changes to his appearance. He did not change his clothing but carried a Green Bamboo Stick in his hand, which was actually the Bronze Scepter, which had evolved into a Medium Grade Bronze divine device. With this stick in hand, Zhou Bao looked like an Individual Immortal or a practitioner who was living a free and unfettered life.
His identity had not been changed. Mysterious Turtle Sage, a middle-aged man who had known his true identity in the Transmitting Formation, had promised to take care of this problem. Thus, his identity was that of a man named Jia Qingping.
After going through a transmission from the Transmitting Hall which took several rounds, Zhou Bao finally arrived at the Heavenly Falling Star, the one nearest to the Holy Maiden Star where the Pond of Illusive Ripples was located.
This was a planet with thin spiritual qi. Normally, very few people inhabited it. But recently, this bleak and inauspicious planet was packed with visitors, most of them practitioners with quite high cultivations. If your cultivation had not reached the Mysterious Realm, then, you would not be able to step onto this planet.
The cultivation Zhou Bao currently displayed was in the second stage of the Mysterious Realm, which was not a very impressive level. But considering his young age, no one dared to underestimate him.

Those guys are really smart. The Pond of Illusive Ripples is the place where that wretch has been suppressed. It looks like a key focus point. However, those guys are actually focused on planets like this Heavenly Falling Star. Now, there are in total three planets that have Transmitting Formations leading to the Holy Maiden Star, and one of them is Heavenly Falling Star. If I didn’t have any scruples, I would launch my Supreme Fairy Weapon, fly directly to that planet and knock them out! How dare they trick me like this!

Heavenly Falling Star was one of the three planets leading to the Holy Maiden Star. The main reason Zhou Bao chose to go to this planet was that, according to the information from the Secret Store, Qi Miaoyi and Ye Qingtian were on this planet right now.
These two were not idiots. On the contrary, they were quite crafty. The moment they arrived in the Infinite Star Sea, they managed to take control of a small school secretly. As it was in the Seven-deity Regions, schools here were so numerous that nobody ever knew the exact numbers. The strength of those schools varied, too. Thus, with their high cultivation and fairy weapons at hand, it was easy for Qi Miaoyi and Ye Qingtian to control one or two lower-level schools on this barren planet. After that, these two started spreading rumors about Zhou Bao through unique channels that were exclusively owned by this school. And then, like Zhou Bao himself, they fabricated their identities in the Infinite Star Sea and hid among ordinary people living in this Infinite Star Sea. They went undercover so they could ambush Zhou Bao in secret.
All these information were obtained from the Secret Store.
After exploring the Infinite Star Sea for a while, Zhou Bao now figured out that this Secret Store was, in fact, the biggest intelligence merchant in the Infinite Star Sea. Their intelligence institution and branches had spread all over the Infinite Star Sea, but their influence was limited to the Infinite Star Sea because they had only a few branches in the Purple Scorpion Star Area and the Milky Way Star Area.
However, based on the strength this Secret Store had demonstrated, even if it was not as powerful as those super large sects, it was a fairly large school with superior strength. Moreover, since their influence was merely limited to the Infinite Star Sea and they had always acted in an amicable way instead of fighting for profits with those super large sects, they had led a quiet life for a long time and no one ever tried to pick on them.

The threshold for entering Heavenly Falling Star is the lowest one, which means this star is the easiest passageway to enter the Pond of Illusive Ripples. They chose to wait here, which obviously shows that they are waiting for me to fall into their trap and then take advantage of this. Well, this, in turn, saves me a lot of work!
Keeping this information in mind, Zhou Bao left his temporary residence without hesitation and set out for the hiding place of the two.
Heavenly Falling Star was not a large planet. Furthermore, due to the extremely thin pneuma, this planet was frequently hit by shooting stars or meteorites. Consequently, it was covered with various-sized meteor craters like the moon from Zhou Bao’s previous life, which was a unique feature of Heavenly Falling Star.
Also, on account of the thin pneuma, the rays of the sun was very strong during the day. Thus, normal people could not survive on this planet at all because the exposure to such strong sunlight would do great harm to them.
Walking in the blazing heat, Zhou Bao slipped through the crowds as if he was just a wisp of smoke and headed for one of the most luxurious buildings in this city.
There were not many native living creatures on Heavenly Falling Star, and the places inhabited by human beings were even lesser. On the entire planet, there were just six big cities. The lack of pneuma, resources, and scarce population rendered this planet a place with no commercial or other utilization value. Any medium-sized schools would not want to dispatch their forces here. Therefore, the six big cities on this planet were all built up by six small schools. One of them was under the control of Ye Qingtian and Qi Miaoyi, which was the one Zhou Bao was in right now. This big city was Heavenly Feather City.
With the accurate information provided by the Secret Store, Zhou Bao had his target in plain sight.
Boom!
A deafening bang resonated throughout Heavenly Feather City.
A sweeping spirit and waves of menacing pressure instantly encompassed the whole of Heavenly Feather City.
The power of this spirit was extremely strong, fierce and totally overbearing.
Now, even the expressions of several Genuine Immortals who had reached the Venerable Realm darkened, and their spirits were in disorder.

Lord of Heaven!



This is the kind of spirit pressure that only a Genuine Immortal in the Lord of Heaven Realm can possess!



When did a Lord of Heaven appear in Heavenly Feather City?



The two Lords of Heaven from the Purple Scorpion Star Area and the Milky Way Star Area have been suppressed in the Pond of Illusive Ripples, haven’t they? What is a Lord of Heaven doing in Heavenly Feather City?



Could it be the legendary Lord of Heaven from the Heaven Realm?


Thinking of this, the eyes of the crowd brightened and their minds became excited, but very soon they pushed all those speculations out of their minds.
They were greedy but not stupid. If they ran into a minor person, they certainly would not mind taking him down. However, this time the one they encountered was a Lord of Heaven!
The one they were facing was a man as fierce as a shark or a whale, who could eat them up. How could they possibly set up any attack without embarrassing themselves?

Hahahaha, Qi Miaoyi and Ye Qingtian from the Extraterrestrial Divine Mountain! You two small fries, stop hiding and come out; hand over your fairy weapons and Pure Yang Celestial Devices without any further delay. Then, I may show my mercy, spare you from death and let you go back to the Heaven Realm this time. If not, I will rip your souls out and let you beg for a death!

Just when the crowd in the city was trying to figure out what had happened, this booming voice ignited the lust of all practitioners in the entire city.
Fairy weapon, Pure Yang Celestial Device, small fries from the Heaven Realm!
Even fools could figure out what the three phrases meant.
