Compared with the barter conference held in the southern region of Canglinghai back then, the scale of the Western Region Barter Conference is comparable.
Because in the entire Chixiazhou's world of immortal cultivation, the human race mainly occupies the three major immortal cultivation domains of the West, the Central, and the South.
Compared to the dominance of the Tianjian Ye family in the Southern Region's immortal cultivation world, the situation in the Central and Northern Regions is more inclined towards the rise of many heroes.
There are two giant forces in the late Nascent Soul stage in the Central Region, and there are also three giant forces in the late Nascent Soul stage in the Western Region.
It goes without saying that the Central Region is far away, and the three giant forces in the Western Region are also extraordinary, with two places in one day each.
The so-called one day refers to the ancient heritage 'Xuan Yang Dong Tian'.
The so-called two places refer to two blessed places on earth, namely the 'Xuanyin Blessed Land' and the 'Taihuang Blessed Land'.
The Xuanyang Cave rose ten thousand years ago. Legend has it that twenty thousand years ago, the Xuanyang Cave was just a small Jindan force.
Later, Xuanyang Tianjun overcame all obstacles and successfully achieved the realm of Yuanshen Tianjun, becoming the sole ruler of the Haotian Ancient Realm, and then opened up the Xuanyang Cave Heaven that was feared by the world.
After that, Xuanyang Cave Heaven has been feared throughout the world for ten thousand years and has become a place of pilgrimage for countless creatures from the entire Haotian Ancient Realm.
In this era, it has been ten thousand years since Xuanyang Tianjun disappeared, but Xuanyang Cave Heaven is still hanging high above the nine heavens.
In the eyes of the world, the foundation of Xuanyang Cave Heaven is still incredible, and it is very likely that there are more than one supreme giant who has reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul sleeping in it.
It's just that this lineage has become much more low-key, becoming an extremely mysterious hidden sanctuary, and rarely interferes in the trivial affairs of the world.
The most recent inheritance of Xuanyang Cave was born. Legend has it that three thousand years ago, a descendant of the Heavenly Sovereign was born with the Pure Yang treasure and suppressed a revived ancient evil demon.
Ye Linyuan actually roughly understood that the Xuanyang Cave Heaven was probably similar to Ye Linyuan’s cave heaven world, and there was a complete small cave heaven world inside.
Moreover, Xuanyang Cave Heaven is above the Nine Heavens and has a complete fifth-order formation running, which can absorb massive amounts of pure spiritual energy into it, so there is no shortage of cultivation resources.
Therefore, for Xuanyang Dongtian, there is no meaning in being born into the world. Anyway, it is difficult for the human world to produce ancient treasures that are useful to them.
Therefore, among the three major forces in the two places, Xuanyang Dongtian is the most mysterious one and also one of the most unfathomable forces in the Haotian Ancient Realm.
As for the two blessed places, their power is also very powerful, but their foundation is much weaker.
The 'Xuanyin Blessed Land' arose 270,000 years ago. It was founded by an ancient celestial monarch 270,000 years ago. There is also a cave world inside.
However, compared to Xuanyang Cave Heaven, Xuanyin Blessed Land’s foundation has been mostly consumed, and the fifth-level formation inside has also become much more decayed.
Therefore, the cultivation environment is most likely not as good as Xuanyang Cave Heaven, and it has been downgraded to a fourth-grade superior blessed land.
There are also rumors that the reason why Xuanyang Tianjun was able to step into the realm of the primordial spirit was because he had inherited some of the legacy of Xuanyin Tianjun who lived more than 200,000 years ago, and had glimpsed the way of Xuanyang from Xuanyin.
Of course, these are just legends, and we still don’t know what the underlying meaning is.
Compared to the Xuanyin Blessed Land, the heritage of the 'Taihuang Blessed Land' is even longer. It is said that it has been opened up for no less than 700,000 years and was the dojo of an ancient saint in the early Middle Ages.
It is said that the Holy Lord of Taihuang attained enlightenment with his physical body. He was once an invincible figure who shocked the world throughout history. He suppressed the entire Haotian Ancient Realm for 20,000 years with his own strength.
But after all, it was too long ago, and with the passage of time, most of the Taihuang lineage’s heritage has been lost.
Legend has it that the Taihuang lineage's most precious pure yang treasure has not been revived for more than 100,000 years. Some people suspect that the spirit within it may have dried up over the years.
It is also because of this that the Taihuang lineage ranks last among the three giant forces. If there were not an elderly late Nascent Soul giant in this generation, it would probably have fallen to the level of a giant force.
"This time, the exchange conference seems to be held in the Great Desolate Blessed Land?"
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and couldn't help but look thoughtful.
He traveled through the vast void and unknowingly arrived outside the Taihuang Blessed Land.
Taihuang Blessed Land is located at the point of Taihuang Mountains. This place was called Taihuang Holy Land in ancient times and was once a place of pilgrimage for ancient monks.
Because once a cultivator has reached the realm of the primordial spirit, he can be called a Saint King, a Heavenly King, or a Taoist King, and the place where he lives is qualified to be called a holy land.
Now that Saint Lord Taihuang has passed away over the years, Taihuang Blessed Land is no longer qualified to be called a holy land, but it is still located on the top of the mountains and is a top-notch treasure land in the Nanling cultivation world.
"It is said that the top of this mountain contains the supreme holy essence of the Great Desolate Saint."
"Unfortunately, in this era, the remaining holy essence has almost completely dissipated, and the Taihuang Holy Land is about to decline."
Ye Linyuan strolled in front of the Taihuang Holy Land and occasionally found many cultivators flying by.
The people present were talking about it, and there seemed to be a hint of regret in their eyes.
"The Taihuang Holy Land is now in a period of transition. There is not even a late Nascent Soul stage immortal seedling left. The most important thing is that the old saint master of the current Taihuang lineage has almost no life left."
"This is the last chance for the Taihuang Holy Land. If we can't take advantage of this exchange conference to cultivate another Nascent Soul seed."
"After the old Saint Lord passes away, who will be able to defend this Taihuang Holy Land?"
Ye Linyuan walked along, quietly listening to the words from Taihuang Holy Land, with a hint of solemnity appearing between his brows.
He actually had a relatively good understanding of why the Taihuang lineage declined. The core reason was that in today's era, physical training had become increasingly difficult.
The core inheritance of the Taihuang lineage is called "Taihuang Holy Decree", which is the most powerful body cultivation method in the Haotian Ancient Realm in this era, and it is also the most suitable supreme body cultivation method for this era.
Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to practice the Taihuang Holy Art. Legend has it that one must break it and then rebuild it before being able to practice it successfully.
It is said that one must first cultivate a perfect combat body, then destroy it and turn it into the foundation to rebuild the Taihuang Holy Decision. Only in this way can one cultivate the unprecedented Taihuang Dao Body.
But in this era, it is extremely difficult to achieve a perfect combat body. And after achieving a perfect combat body, if one abandons one's true body and turns to practice the Great Desolation Sacred Art, the success rate is extremely low. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a life-and-death struggle.
The Taihuang lineage is a holy place for physical cultivation, and almost every sixty years there are people who cultivate a perfect combat body.
Unfortunately, in the past three thousand years, no one else in the Taihuang lineage has been able to successfully cultivate the Taihuang Holy Decree.
This also led to a lack of successors in the Taihuang lineage. Although it was a giant force in the late Nascent Soul stage, there were only seven or eight Nascent Soul True Lords in the sect, which was already the bottom force among the giants in the late Nascent Soul stage.
"If you want to cultivate the Great Desolate Saint Technique, you need to break it down before you build it up. Only by breaking it down can you build it up."
"To cultivate a perfect combat body, cut off all foundations and origins, and transform them into essence again, only then can it become the nourishment for the Great Desolate Saint Jue."
"This step is as difficult as climbing to heaven, and it is difficult to succeed in this day and age."
"I'm afraid this Taihuang lineage is destined to decline."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and he roughly understood that the Taihuang lineage might be on the verge of complete decline.
In fact, he also knew that there was another way to practice the Taihuang Saint Technique, which was to contain the Taihuang Saint Blood, which was the bloodline of the Taihuang Saint King back then.
If one has the Holy Blood of Taihuang in one's body, then the difficulty of transferring to the Holy Land of Taihuang will be greatly reduced.
Unfortunately, Saint Taihuang lived too long ago, and his direct descendants have basically died over the years.
Even if there are still descendants left today, the possibility of reviving the Taihuang Holy Blood is getting lower and lower, otherwise it would not be the case that no one has been able to cultivate the Taihuang Holy Decree for three thousand years.
"Brother Ye."
Just as I was deep in thought, a voice came over.
Ye Linyuan looked back and immediately found that Master Taiheng was coming over. Master Taiheng said politely, "It's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are doing well."
"Brother Taiheng."
Ye Linyuan bowed and greeted him politely. After greeting each other, the two of them calmly strolled to Taihuang Immortal City and sat down at a stone table in a courtyard.
The Tai Heng Zhen Jun made a cup of tea for Ye Linyuan, and then said solemnly: "Brother Ye, I am going to start sleeping for a while."
"Oh?"
Ye Linyuan took a look at Master Taiheng and found that he seemed to be a little older than before. He immediately understood the whole story.
When Ye Linyuan died in his previous life, his life span was already over two thousand seven hundred years old. Now, more than six hundred years have passed, and Master Taiheng’s life span should be over three thousand four hundred years.
Although Master Taiheng’s own combat power is not strong, his skills have a certain effect of prolonging life, and his lifespan should be around four thousand years.
Now I only have less than 600 years left to live. Although it cannot be said that my life is coming to an end, I certainly cannot waste time.
After all, Master Taiheng's cultivation has reached the perfection of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul for many years. If he cannot break through his own bottleneck, there will not be much meaning in continuing to be active in the mortal world.
In fact, most of those whose cultivation is stagnant at the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, as long as they still have the desire to break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul, will use methods such as freezing to delay the passing of their lifespan.
"At my current level, treasures that can help me reach a higher level are already rare treasures that are hard to come by."
"I can only wait for the opportunity to come through deep sleep."
Master Tai Heng spoke slowly and leisurely, and could not help revealing a hint of regret.
He was once a peerless genius in the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage. In fact, in this era, more than half of the middle-stage Nascent Souls have the foundation of the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul stage.
The reason why they cannot break through to the late Nascent Soul stage is not because they, the Nascent Soul True Lords, lack the aptitude, but because they are unable to find the rare treasures that can allow them to make further progress.
For example, the top-grade fourth-level Infant-Breaking Pill, the fourth-level rare auxiliary treasure 'Poji Sky Bead', and some top-level treasures that suit him, the 'Three-Transformation Mysterious Pill' that greatly replenishes his foundation.
These treasures were not particularly scarce in ancient times. Almost every one of them could increase the probability of breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage by 10 to 30 percent. But nowadays they are rare items that can only be found once in a thousand years.
In today's world, they can hardly find such treasures, so they can only sleep in the years and place their hopes on the forbidden land of Jiexu or other opportunities.
At this time, Master Tai Heng felt a little guilty. He looked at Ye Linyuan and said, "After I fall into a deep sleep, the pressure you will face will probably increase a lot."
"It doesn't matter. With my current strength, they can hardly cause me much trouble."
Ye Linyuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then spoke calmly.
Master Taiheng nodded and was about to say something, but suddenly he frowned and looked into the distance.
But he saw several figures flying one after another in the distant sky, and Ye Linyuan saw a few familiar faces among them.
The leader was a strange man in black robe, and the other two were acquaintances of Ye Linyuan.
They are Ye Linyuan's enemies including True Lord Jinlian, the head of the Yang family, and True Lord Rentian.
At this time, the black-robed man strolled into the courtyard, glanced at the two of them, and then quickly glanced at Ye Linyuan, and said calmly: "Are you the Red Dragon Demon?"
"I'm afraid he has bad intentions." Ye Linyuan's mind moved slightly, he stood up calmly and said, "My Taoist name is Xuanyuan."
"It is you." The black-robed man smiled, his eyes slightly cold as he said, "I am the Holy Son of Xuanyin. I heard that you are very famous and are the number one devil in Chixiazhou."
"Now that I see it, it's just like that."
Ye Linyuan did not answer immediately, but he understood the identity of the Xuanyin Holy Son in an instant.
The ruler of the Xuanyin blessed land is the Xuanyin Ancient Sect. The inheritance of this lineage is extremely long. There are no less than thirty or forty Yuanying True Lords, but there is only one Saint Son and Saint Daughter.
Those who are qualified to be called the Son of God are naturally extraordinary geniuses.
The Holy Son of Xuanyin has been practicing Taoism for only over a thousand years, but his cultivation has already reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Although he is still not as good as Ye Changfeng of the genius Ye family, he is also a first-class figure in Chixia Continent.
In terms of combat power alone, the Holy Son of Xuanyin must be a leader in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. The most important thing is that he has a giant in the late stage of the Nascent Soul behind him, as well as an ancient immortal sect that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years.
So after thinking it over again and again, Ye Linyuan did not retort, but just calmly bowed and said: "It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Holy Son. Xuanyuan is here to pay his respects."
Xuanyin Saint had a cold expression on his face. He glanced at Ye Linyuan with sarcasm, then looked at the two people beside him and said, "I heard that you have a grudge against fellow Daoist Jinlian and Yang?"
"There are indeed some grudges." Ye Linyuan answered truthfully.
The Xuanyin Saint nodded, and then said, "I came here to inform you that the grudges between you and me are written off?"
"Oh?" Ye Linyuan's pupils turned cold.
Xuanyin Saint sneered: "I came here today to ask you to swear a Dao Heart Oath that I will not pursue past grudges in the future."
Ye Linyuan did not answer, but asked in return: "Is this what Senior Xuanyin Saint Lord meant, or what you meant?"
The Xuanyin Saint's face suddenly turned cold, and he said with a cold gaze: "For such a trivial matter, why does His Majesty the Saint Lord need to speak?"
Ye Linyuan finally understood that this Saint Son of Xuanyin had probably accepted benefits from True Lord Jinlian and the Yang family, and wanted to use the power of others to bully the sect and let them help him resolve their grievances.
But if you think about it carefully, this is also common sense. After all, the Xuanyin Saint Lord has reached the late Nascent Soul stage for many years, and the lifespan of such a person is basically over two thousand years old.
They are either preparing to break through to a higher level, or sleeping in deep sleep waiting for an opportunity to break through. They don't have the energy to care about such trivial matters.
Besides, if the Holy Lord Xuanyin were to interfere in such matters, and interfere unfairly, it would inevitably arouse the fear of all major forces in Chixiazhou of Nanling.
After all, there are so many Multi-Infant forces in Chixiazhou, Nanling, and facing the Xuanyin Ancient Sect is like a cat facing a tiger. If the tiger poses too great a threat, it will inevitably make it difficult for all major forces to be of one mind with it.
Not to mention, the Xuanyin Ancient Sect is not without rivals. The three major demon giants in the neighboring Wan Yao Mountain are by no means easy to deal with.
Knowing this, Ye Linyuan was not too worried.
After all, he is now a local overlord. As long as the Holy Lord Xuanyin does not come out, there are really not many people in the world who can threaten him.
Thinking of this, Ye Linyuan said calmly: "If Your Highness the Saint has nothing else to do, please go back."
"you dare!"
The Holy Son of Xuanyin was suddenly furious, his long hair danced in the wind, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes that could penetrate a person's bones.
But Ye Linyuan stood calmly, and the murderous intent was like a breeze blowing on his face, and he remained where he was without being moved.
Upon seeing this, the Xuanyin Saint restrained his killing intent, and then suddenly sneered and said, "Although you are very courageous, unfortunately according to the rules of the Taihuang lineage, you and I cannot fight here."
"Otherwise, this Saint Son should also let you see what the true essence of the eternal inheritance is."
Ye Linyuan stood calmly, his eyes indifferent as he said, "If that day ever comes, I'd be happy to learn from you."
"I hope that one day, Your Excellency will still be so graceful."
After Xuanyin Saint finished speaking, he turned around and left calmly.
Seeing Xuanyin Saint Son leaving, Taiheng Zhenjun said fearfully: "This Xuanyin Saint Son is so domineering, it seems that he has received a lot of benefits from the two major forces."
"Maybe."
Ye Linyuan answered calmly. He always felt it was a little strange that most Jindan cultivators in the world could keep their emotions hidden.
However, the arrogant behavior of the Holy Son of Xuanyin does not seem to be what a Holy Son of a great sect should have.
"Is he testing me, or is it for some other reason I don't know?" (End of this chapter)
