Simultaneously, inside the confines of the Purple Crest Immortal Sect, a young man stormed into an age-old building as though possessed. His jade token flickered continuously, nullifying barrier after barrier.
"Ancestor, calamity has struck! Uncle Tianlin and Uncle Tianxin's Life Tablets have shattered almost at the same time!" At last, the young man reached a tranquil chamber. There, he encountered an elderly man dressed in black robes, his hair a stark white.
The elder was none other than Sun Xiangyuan— the venerable ancestor of the Sun Clan and a powerhouse in the Nirvana Cleansing realm!
"What did you just say? Tianlin and Tianxin's Life Tablets have shattered? How could that be? Wasn't Tianlin freshly back on the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star? And wasn't Tianxin supposed to pick him up?" Sun Xiangyuan's face instantly froze, his cloudy eyes awash with a blend of shock and incredulity.
"I have no answers, Ancestor! The Life Tablets of both Uncle Tianlin and Uncle Tianxin have unquestionably shattered! Moreover, numerous young talents and crucial members of our clan who had set out to greet Uncle Tianlin have also met their end!" The young man collapsed to his knees, his voice tinged with both anguish and outrage.
"Do you have any idea who's responsible?" Sun Xiangyuan's eyes widened, his question escaping through clenched teeth.
"I'm clueless! I was merely overseeing the Life Pagoda as always. Never in my wildest dreams did I think so many Life Tablets would crumble simultaneously!" The young man shook uncontrollably from head to toe, ultimately dissolving into intense sobs.
"Daring to slaughter members of my Sun Clan... whoever you may be, I vow to make you pay a thousandfold, even ten thousandfold!" Sun Xiangyuan's eyes appeared as though they might rupture, his boundless rage boiling within him like a volatile bomb, set to explode from every pore!
An immense wave of dread unfurled spontaneously, causing the young Sun Clan member to slump to the ground, overwhelmed.
Right after, Sun Xiangyuan extended his divine sense across a staggering expanse of sixty million kilometers, enveloping an enormous territory.
At that very moment, another piece of intelligence reached him: news of Sun Tianlin and the others' demise had already proliferated far and wide.
The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star's upper ranks were fully cognizant that a monumental event had occurred within the Sun Clan, leading to the downfall of two great powerhouses in the Nirvana Peering realm.
This news was, of course, disseminated by the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace. The loss of these two Nirvana Peering realm powerhouses dealt a severe blow to the Purple Crest Immortal Sect. Naturally, the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace wouldn't let this chance to undercut their rival pass them by.
By now, as the news of Sun Tianlin and others' deaths circulated, the Sun Clan had already plunged into a state of widespread disquiet and chaos.
Additionally, another rumor was swiftly gaining traction across the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star—Sun Tianlin had suffered defeat in the Immortal Martial Continent and, in a desperate attempt to preserve his own life, had succumbed to blackmail from the demons. This led to a demonic great powerhouse in the Nirvana Cleansing realm gaining access to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star.
Instantly, Sun Tianlin earned the ignominious label of a coward, one willing to forsake his own people for the sake of self-preservation.
"Damn it!" Sun Xiangyuan's fists clenched so tightly that veins on his arms and forehead protruded, visibly signaling the immensity of his rage.
Utilizing his divine sense, he directly consulted the Transcendence realm cultivator responsible for intelligence within the Sun Clan, immediately acquiring more granular details.
For example, Sun Tianlin had returned to the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, bringing along the entire cultivator army and leaving no one to guard the Immortal Martial Continent.
Furthermore, Sun Tianlin had commanded the million-strong cultivator army to disperse immediately, lifting the barrier around the underground palace and enabling a flood of people to rush out.
All these irregular activities lent credence to the 'fact' that Sun Tianlin had indeed been coerced by the demons.
Now, even Sun Xiangyuan started to entertain doubts.
'Could it be that Sun Tianlin genuinely betrayed us, inviting catastrophe upon us all?' Sun Xiangyuan's face hardened, his heart swirling with a volatile blend of fury and disappointment.
Nonetheless, Sun Xiangyuan remained resolute in his quest to find the culprit.
He was duty-bound to avenge Sun Tianlin and to offer an explanation to the inhabitants of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star; failing to do so would only further tarnish the already weakened reputation of the Purple Crest Immortal Sect.
Subsequently, Sun Xiangyuan harnessed the formidable resources of the Purple Crest Immortal Sect to identify the likely locale where Sun Tianlin and the others had met their demise.
"It's in the vicinity of the underground palace where the spatial channel is situated!" Having ascertained the location, Sun Xiangyuan disappeared from his current position, darting towards the identified spot with utmost speed.
...
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had already quickened his pace, using the Nine Pointed Radiant Star Ring to distance himself from the scene of the bloodshed.
However, upon encountering a sprawling city, he halted. This location was relatively near the site of the recent clash. Nevertheless, Jiang Chen had at his disposal the unparalleled stealth capabilities of the Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo.
At this juncture, the saying 'the most dangerous place is the safest place' appeared particularly apt. Consequently, Jiang Chen harbored no concerns about being discovered.
'Golden Cirrus City, not a bad place,' thought Jiang Chen as he touched down within the city limits. Unfurling his divine sense to scan the surroundings, he quickly gleaned some insights into the city.
This metropolis was under the jurisdiction of the Purple Crest Immortal Sect, and it was home to three Transcendence realm powerhouses.
As he meandered casually through Golden Cirrus City, Jiang Chen's initial observation was that the area was exceedingly bustling!
In contrast to the Immortal Martial Continent, which was crafted from an amalgamation of numerous planets, the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star was considerably smaller, resulting in a high concentration of residents.
His subsequent impression was the remarkable abundance of Spiritual Qi. Golden Cirrus City boasted a Spirit Gathering System that enveloped the entire urban expanse, effectively pulling in Spiritual Qi from an extensive surrounding region.
The Spiritual Qi in the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star was inherently abundant, significantly outclassing that of the Immortal Martial Continent.
With a spirit-gathering formation channeling all this Qi into a single city, it was obvious just how dense the Spiritual Qi would become.
Cultivating here felt as though Spiritual Qi was eagerly flooding into one's body, rendering the practice both time-efficient and nearly effortless.
Jiang Chen was of the opinion that the cultivation setting in Golden Cirrus City was more than sufficient for nurturing Nirvana Peering realm powerhouses.
However, there existed locations within the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star that were even more conducive to cultivation than Golden Cirrus City. Those prodigies with the potential to ascend to the Nirvana Peering realm would typically gravitate towards those superior environments for their training.
'Let's settle here for a bit, get acquainted with this unfamiliar territory of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star,' Jiang Chen quietly mused, initiating a leisurely walk through the city.
However, his wandering was not without purpose. Jiang Chen had a genuine interest in shopping. Since his arrival from the Immortal Martial Continent, he had vanquished a multitude of adversaries, amassing a considerable wealth of spiritual stones along the way.
Golden Cirrus City appeared to be a fairly decent place; this seemed like a favorable opportunity to explore whether he could acquire something of value.
Throughout his shopping spree, Jiang Chen indeed stumbled upon numerous valuable items. His primary need was for spiritual plants, and he found these in great abundance.
In Golden Cirrus City, materials suited for Transcendence realm cultivators were highly valued but not exorbitantly priced; they were merely a tad costlier. For those who could afford it, a diverse array of Transcendence-level spiritual plants was readily accessible.
Considering that Jiang Chen's existing foundational realm was situated at the Middle-stage Nirvana Peering realm, Transcendence-level spiritual plants remained beneficial for him.
Even if these plants weren't essential for his own use, Jiang Chen could distribute them to his people. Given the substantial amount of idle spirit stones he had amassed, it was rational to put them to good use by making purchases.
Next, Jiang Chen turned off his invisibility. Opting for a subtler approach, he merely masked his aura and adopted a modest disguise before embarking on his shopping spree.
Within a short period, he had acquired a considerable collection of spiritual plants. In addition to these, Jiang Chen also procured a fair number of pills, chiefly those meant for Yuan Power restoration.
Furthermore, he purchased some top-grade pills of various other types—like those for cultivation and body refinement—intended for his subordinates. The pills from the System Mall were reserved exclusively for his wives.
After acquiring the pills, Jiang Chen proceeded to purchase materials that would benefit the Silver Immortal Sword. The sword itself had a level of spirituality, alerting Jiang Chen to acquire the materials it required upon encountering them.
Nonetheless, the Silver Immortal Sword was of such elevated stature that Jiang Chen could only find about a dozen Transcendence-level artifact-refining materials even after combing through the entire city.
It's noteworthy that Jiang Chen consistently came across underpriced items during his shopping spree.
He even succeeded in securing a Nirvana Peering-level spiritual plant at an astonishingly low price!
Jiang Chen quickly realized that this good fortune was undoubtedly facilitated by his Black Heavenly Fate Value.
