Even so, countless ideas surged in Lu Yunhe's mind. The restrictions on trading top-tier treasures were too great, so he could only find a solution himself.
Chapter 650 Secret Trade
Summer Breeze Kingdom!
Two figures suddenly appeared outside the city gate; they were none other than the Heaven-Tearing Venerable and Lu Yunhe.
After deciding on the deal, Lu Yunhe arranged for his clone and the Heaven-Tearing Grandmaster to travel to the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom together.
Since it was confirmed that the Lord of Chaos City was a reincarnated being, the Great Venerable Tear Heaven also returned with him to show closeness and respect.
As for the main body and such, the Realm Heart Continent is very dangerous. Whether it is the danger of going out or the safety of the main base, personnel are needed to guard it.
Lu Yunhe is the only Cosmic God in the entire Chaos City, so it's impossible for his true form to leave easily.
"My Xiafeng Kingdom can be considered the number one in the Realm Heart Continent." The Great Venerable Tear Heaven said proudly, looking at the city in front of him, clearly taking pride in it.
Throughout the entire Realm Heart Continent, excluding the Broken Tooth Mountains, the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom is the strongest force on the continent, boasting three invincible figures: Emperor Xia, Ancestor Fan, and Emperor Cang.
On the other side, although the ancient kingdoms of the myriad realms have more invincible beings, they are all reincarnated beings. Although they have banded together due to their identities, their relationships are not very close.
"The Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom is indeed extraordinary!"
Lu Yunhe glanced around and saw that the entire capital was vast and prosperous, with countless buildings that were dazzling and radiant, revealing countless secrets.
Compared to the ancient Xiafeng Kingdom, Chaos City... is just smaller in area and has fewer people.
They're all buildings, so no matter how you manipulate them, they're all the same. Aside from their size, there's not much difference between them.
Not to mention having witnessed the origin of the entire source world, it's difficult for them to be affected by this group of acquired structures.
"Ah!"
Hearing the Chaos City Lord's perfunctory words, the Heaven-Tearing Grand Venerable chuckled. He thought that only the Ancestor's appearance could keep these lawless fellows in check.
“My Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom has strict laws, and killing is generally prohibited. However, given your status and strength, as long as you don’t go too far, it will be fine. Just don’t find it troublesome,” said the Great Venerable Tear Heaven.
In a place where evil tyrants run rampant, it is indeed difficult to believe in the deterrent power of the law.
"understand!"
Lu Yunhe nodded, but with his strength, he probably wouldn't have much interaction with these youngsters in the capital.
"please!"
Seeing that the Lord of Chaos City had no interest in the capital, the Great Venerable Tear Heaven gave up on providing additional hospitality and took him to the Demon Mountain of the Fan Clan.
A vast, magical mountain, its range stretching as far as a second-rate cosmic nation, practically a country within a country.
Seeing this, Lu Yunhe understood how deeply the six ancient kingdoms oppressed other nations.
This is just a corner of the Xiafeng Kingdom, yet it is comparable to a second-rate cosmic kingdom. One can imagine just how vast the entire Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom truly is.
Other countries on the mainland are really just picking up the scraps left over from these ancient kingdoms.
However, it's understandable, since it's the base of an invincible family, it's quite normal for it to be comparable to a cosmic kingdom.
Compared to the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom, Chaos City does indeed look very shabby in terms of size.
The entire Fan Clan Demon Mountain exuded a chilling aura, and within the continuous mountain ranges, many powerful beings were cultivating.
None of these auras were weak; many of them were so powerful that even Lu Yunhe had to take them seriously.
Even if the entire Fan clan isn't invincible, their strength surpasses that of an entire Origin World.
"Great One!"
"Great One!"
The Fan family members in the Demon Mountain were all astonished to see the Great Venerable Tear Heaven personally leading his people to arrive.
"A cosmic god I've never seen before. Could it be the Chaos City Lord from the Black Prison Sea?"
Many of the younger generation of the Fan family began to discuss this. There were not many Cosmic Gods left on the entire Realm Heart Continent, and even fewer who were worthy of being received by a Great Venerable.
Recently, the most special one is the Chaos City Lord. He is very powerful and even faced the Nine Absolutes Island Lord without backing down, which has caused quite a stir in the entire Realm Heart Continent.
Regardless of their status, this act alone would garner favor from countless people, especially the rulers of kingdoms, who were all greatly encouraged.
Then, the Heaven-Tearing Grandmaster led Lu Yunhe to a reception room of the Fan family, where different guests received different treatment.
"City Lord, you may take a look at the treasures of my Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom." The Great Venerable Tear Heaven handed Lu Yunhe a scroll containing a large number of treasures that could be exchanged.
Because of the special status of the Chaos City Lord, the Heaven-Tearing Grand Venerable did not limit the transaction to the Fan Clan, but traded with him on behalf of the entire Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom.
This shows that although the entire Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom was controlled by three major ethnic groups and they were constantly competing with each other, they still regarded themselves as members of the kingdom.
The things traded with the Lord of Chaos City ultimately became the foundation of the entire kingdom.
"it is good!"
Lu Yunhe scanned the scroll, and a large amount of information flooded into his mind.
The Formless Wonderful Dharma: It can be obtained for 300,000 great merits!
"The Way of Hunyuan": It can be obtained with 100,000 great merits!
"The Realm of the Heart": Eighty Thousand Great Merits!
……
Zhen Tian Ruler: A top-tier secret treasure, obtainable for 200,000 merit points.
The Heaven and Earth Scroll: A pinnacle treasure, obtainable for 200,000 merit points!
Practicing under the Brahma Tree: One hundred million years and ten thousand great merits!
……
The entire scroll contains a wealth of secret techniques, secret teachings, resources, and treasures, with the most valuable scroll worth a full 300,000 merit points and the least valuable scroll worth 1,000 merit points.
There are quite a few top-tier treasures, but they are all just kept out of reach of outsiders.
Having learned a little about them, Lu Yunhe lost interest after glancing at these top-tier treasures.
The treasures revealed throughout the entire scroll are enough to demonstrate the profound and powerful heritage of the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom.
However, Lu Yunhe was also quite capable, so he wasn't intimidated or had any bad thoughts.
After scanning a few, Lu Yunhe focused his attention on knowledge categories such as secret techniques and secret transmissions.
Because the Tao is the fundamental principle!
One of them caught his attention: the opportunity to enter the Secret Pavilion of the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom could be obtained by exchanging great merit.
Secret techniques are something any cultivator can create, but the vast majority of them are of pitifully low value and not worth including in a scroll.
Furthermore, it would be absurd to require merit points to view every ordinary secret technique.
This is why the Mystic Arts Pavilion has the right to exchange for techniques. It contains most of the secret techniques collected by the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom, but the highest level is only the first level of the Cosmic God.
Once it involves the secret teachings of the second level of the Cosmic God, its value begins to soar, making it worthwhile to exchange for it with great effort.
However, secret techniques are a type of knowledge that is highly shareable and easily disseminated, so the Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom was unwilling to spread the secret techniques that it had painstakingly collected and accumulated at will.
Therefore, those who go to the Mystic Arts Pavilion can only use the secret arts themselves; they cannot spread them, or even pass them on to their own faction.
If you want to turn it into the foundation of your own power, then you have to exchange it one-on-one and share it with everyone.
This is also why major powers offer such high prices for arcane resources.
It's not simply about buying a secret technique; it's about leaving that technique firmly within the nation, transforming it into a resource foundation that will flourish and bear fruit over countless epochs.
When major factions purchase secret formulas, it's often for the sake of their own future, essentially buying a right to inherit them.
Therefore, in order to expand their influence, these ancient kingdoms offered high prices for their purchases, all hoping to add to their historical and cultural heritage.
As for resources, they are fine for use by their own people, but Lu Yunhe doesn't believe that Xiafeng Ancient Kingdom would need to spend such a high amount of effort for secret techniques and secret teachings.
Besides the secret techniques, Lu Yunhe's main focus was on the materials for the secret treasures.
When it comes to the ultimate divine body, most resources are useless, and the few resources that remain are incredibly expensive and have very limited effects.
Lu Yunhe glanced at it and decided that he should just cultivate it himself; it would be too wasteful to just spend money to buy it.
As for secret treasures, since purchasing top-tier secret treasures is too demanding, Lu Yunhe might as well forge secret treasures below the top tier himself.
It can save resources and also create the most suitable treasure for yourself.
"Let me think about it!"
Lu Yunhe pondered the amount of merit required; it seemed he would be trading quite a few things this time.
However, these things were mainly for enriching his knowledge and experience; they wouldn't really play any crucial role for him.
Ultraman's clone is over there; many things just need to take some time.
However, although he had no intention of defying fate, he naturally had no intention of refusing since it could accelerate his cultivation.
Then Lu Yunhe pointed into the void, and the energy materialized to form a secret scroll, with a large number of secret techniques and secret arts imprinted on it.
Having possessed an entire Origin World, and being an invincible being within it, Lu Yunhe possessed a vast array of secret techniques and arts, even without deliberately demanding tributes from others.
Not to mention his various self-created secret techniques, inheritances, and opportunities gained through chance, even in the Realm Heart Continent, it is estimated that only the inheritances of the six ancient kingdoms can surpass his.
Putting aside everything else, the peak-level world beasts alone constitute a group of nearly ten second-level cosmic gods, and their secret techniques are no less than those of cosmic gods.
"really!"
Looking at the secret scroll given by the Lord of Chaos City, the Great Venerable Tear Heaven nodded inwardly, confirming that their predictions were indeed correct.
Even if the Lord of Chaos City did not rule the entire Origin World before his reincarnation, he was definitely one of the top beings in it, possessing terrifying influence, and he was also the master of a power.
It's not that he hasn't traded with other cosmic gods; at most, he's only offered up the basic secrets of the Origin Dao.
Unlike the Lord of Chaos City, who could produce dozens of Origin Dao Secret Techniques in a single move, practically plundering the entire Origin World, not even counting other secret arts.
Actually, it wasn't as exaggerated as the Great Venerable Tear Heaven thought. Lu Yunhe himself provided nearly half of these Origin Dao Secret Techniques.
After all, creating secret methods is also beneficial for comprehending the original Dao, and writing down the Dao that one comprehends with one's own will.
"They even have the Void Realm Dao, the Cycle Dao... these are all there..." The Heaven-Tearing Grand Venerable was astonished.
The value of these secret techniques is completely different. Although they are only at the first level of the Cosmic God realm, they cannot be measured by level.
