Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 1021 The Dawn of Juliano (4K)

There are fewer than thirty people left outside the Zhenjun Hall.

Gao Yang's appearance immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators.

However, after only one glance, everyone looked away.

The person before them was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but not the one they were waiting for, so there was no need to pay them any attention.

Moreover, outside this True Lord's Hall, that Quasi-Saint Mountain Demon has not yet left. Regardless of whether the person in front of him has obtained the True Lord's inheritance, making a move now is slapping the Quasi-Saint Mountain Demon in the face.

If this person obtains the True Lord's inheritance, then all those who attack will die at the hands of the Quasi-Saint Mountain Demon.

It's better to avoid trouble; any normal person understands this principle.

Gao Yang's eyes swept over the crowd, and then with a flash of sword light, he disappeared.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Gao Yang appeared and immediately connected with the network, intending to leave the Primordial World.

As Gao Yang's thoughts fluctuated, the jade pendant that had been in his hand began to glow, and then a spatial vortex as tall as a person appeared in front of him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Yang stepped directly into the spatial vortex.

One minute later, Gao Yang stepped out of a teleportation array.

He looked around and found himself in a space station.

This teleportation wasn't meant to send him directly back to Earth.

Come to think of it, a one-minute teleportation time is already the limit for him to be able to teleport out of the Primordial World. You have to know that when he arrived in the Primordial World from Earth, it took him a full ten minutes to teleport.

The overall style of this star-studded transit station leans towards the pavilions and towers of the Eastern tradition, likely due to its proximity to the Primordial Realm and the significant influence it has received.

Without lingering, Gao Yang paid the teleportation fee, stepped onto the teleportation array again, and left the place.

Two days later, Gao Yang arrived at the interstellar transfer station - Artophies, which meant that he had returned to the crystal wall system where Earth was located.

With just one more teleport, getting as close to Earth as possible, Gao Yang can traverse the rest of the journey on his own.

However, Gao Yang still had some things to take care of before that.

After finding an inn in Artophies, Gao Yang sat cross-legged in the meditation chamber, while his consciousness entered the multiverse trading center.

A moment later, led by two beautiful waiters, Gao Yang slowly walked toward the VIP elevator of the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild.

Gao Yang had only been waiting in Iuliano's conference room for less than two minutes when he heard light, hurried footsteps outside the door.

The footsteps stopped abruptly just before reaching the door. After a few breaths, the steady footsteps resumed, and then the door to the reception room was pushed open, revealing Iuliano's thin, dwarf-like voice:
"Your Excellency Gaoyang, my dear friend, we are finally reunited. Since our last parting, I have missed you day and night."

Gao Yang smiled and shook his head. If a beautiful human woman had said these words, he might have felt a little smug, but the fact that it came from a dwarf who looked like a little old man made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, Gao Yang, who had just obtained the subsequent cultivation methods of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and had made a breakthrough in the art, was in a good mood. Therefore, he looked at Juliano and said with a smile:

"President Yuliano, shouldn't you be longing for the things in my backpack?"

"Your Excellency Gaoyang, I am deeply saddened by your words."

Despite his words of sadness, Iuliano's smile never faded. He took out two wine glasses and poured one for Gao Yang and one for himself.

"Cheers to His Excellency Gao Yang!"

Gao Yang raised his glass and then drank it all in one gulp.

After setting down his wine glass, Juliano looked at Gao Yang and asked with great anticipation, "Lord Gao Yang, did you come to see me this time because of some big business deal?"

"A big deal, isn't it?"

Gao Yang toyed with his wine glass, looked up at Juliano, and casually asked, "President Juliano, do you know about the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram?"

"The Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram!"

Juliano's small eyes widened suddenly, and he nodded repeatedly, "Of course I know, it's the most top treasure in the Eastern extraordinary lineage, known as the number one killing formation diagram in the world."

Legend has it that even gods could perish if caught in this magic circle.

Gao Yang nodded. Knowing about the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram made communication easier. He continued, "Has your company ever handled the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram?"

"Let me think about it."

After speaking, Iuliano lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he looked up at Gao Yang and said, "Your Excellency Gao Yang, in the past hundred years, our Chamber of Commerce has handled the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram nine times. Among them, six of them are of the extraordinary level and three are of the legendary level, all of which have been bought by different buyers."

"Does Lord Gaoyang desire the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram?"

Yuliano guessed it, and Gao Yang was not surprised. He simply nodded calmly and said, "I do need the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, but not just one. The more, the better."

Only Chairman Juliano and your esteemed chamber of commerce can help me with this matter.

Juliano's expression turned solemn, and he said very seriously, "Thank you for your trust, Lord Gaoyang, but every time the Immortal Slaughtering Formation appears, it will trigger a battle."

Many people want to obtain such a treasure, even if it is just a replica or a lower-grade item. Therefore, the price of each Zhuxian Formation Diagram is extremely high, and it is even impossible to find one that is priced at a price.

The key point is that the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram is extremely rare, sometimes appearing only once every few decades.

Or rather, very few people would put it up for sale.

Therefore, it will likely be very difficult for Your Excellency Gaoyang to obtain a large number of Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagrams in a short period of time.

Gao Yang simply nodded calmly at Juliano's statement, and then a bright red crystal suddenly appeared in his hand.

"President Yuliano, take a look at this."

A hint of curiosity appeared in Juliano's eyes, and then he reached out and took the bright red crystal on the table.

With just one glance, his hand trembled violently, almost causing him to drop the bright red crystal.

In just a moment, Iuliano gripped the crimson crystal tightly in his hand.

He looked at Gao Yang with difficulty, his eyes seemingly burning with fire, and his voice was somewhat hoarse at this moment: "Your Excellency Gao Yang, how much of this crystallization of life essence do you still have?"

Gao Yang put down his wine glass, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at Juliano, saying, "Putting that aside for now, if this is the reward, would your esteemed merchant guild be willing to collect enough Immortal Execution Formation Diagrams?"

"This crystal of the origin of life can actually increase the original life force and thus extend lifespan. The value of this treasure is comparable to that of the core of a plane."

Most importantly, there's no limit to the number of times this Life Essence Crystal can be used, which elevates its value to a new level. If there are enough, I can persuade the Merchant Guild to do everything in their power to find the Immortal Slaughtering Array Diagram for Lord Gaoyang.”

Iuliano gripped the core of life's essence tightly in his hand, the flames in his eyes almost materializing.

At that moment, what he held in his hand was not just a simple longevity artifact, but his ticket to the board meeting of the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild, the most powerful institution in the guild, and even the dawn of his path to the chairman's throne.

Holding this crystal of the essence of life, Iuliano seemed to see the door to the board meeting opening a crack for him.

In the multiverse, there are countless powerful beings, and equally countless powerful beings whose lifespans are nearing their end.

Even within the Goblin and Gnome Merchant Guild, such beings are numerous, and even a pillar of the Juliano lineage is nearing the end of his life.

He has barely managed to stay alive by searching for things that can prolong his life over the years.

Iuliano couldn't imagine the enormous storm that the appearance of the Life Essence Crystal would unleash within the Chamber of Commerce.

Needless to say, life extension is merely a side effect of the crystallization of the life essence. Its true function is to strengthen the life essence and enhance the life intensity, which is equivalent to increasing strength.

No powerful person would turn a blind eye to a treasure that could enhance their own life force.

It can be said that the crystallized essence of life will be an even harder form of currency than the core of a plane.

Gao Yang calmly met Yuliano's gaze and slowly asked, "According to President Yuliano's estimate, how many Life Essence Crystals would be needed to advance this matter?"
Furthermore, how many Life Essence Crystals are needed to exchange for a single Immortal Execution Formation Diagram?

As Gao Yang finished speaking, Iuliano's eyes shone even brighter.

Gao Yang did not directly mention the quantity, which means that this crystal of the origin of life was not something he obtained by chance, but a treasure with a fixed output. In this way, there is no need to worry too much about the quantity.

At this thought, Yuliano's voice trembled slightly: "Your Excellency Gaoyang, in my experience, about two Life Essence Crystals can be exchanged for a transcendent-level Immortal Slaughtering Array Diagram."

As for legendary-level array diagrams, a minimum of four are required, and this number will increase if the quality is improved.

As for pushing this matter forward, twenty—no, fifteen!
With fifteen Life Essence Crystals, I'm 50% confident I can convince the board that, aside from the basic operations of the Chamber of Commerce, countless employees of the Goblin and Dwarf Chamber of Commerce throughout the multiverse will be willing to risk their lives for Your Excellency Gao Yang!

As he finished speaking, Juliano's voice grew increasingly passionate and impassioned, as if he could command the entire chamber of commerce's countless employees with a single order.

"That sounds pretty good."

Gao Yang remained calm, then got up and walked outside.

Iuliano stood frozen in place, his face flushed, his eyes fixed on the twenty life essence crystals neatly arranged on the table.

"President Yuliano, I hope this matter can be put on the agenda as soon as possible. For every Immortal Execution Array Diagram that comes into my hands, the Life Essence Crystal will be paid accordingly."

Gao Yang's voice rang in Yuliano's ears, bringing him back to his senses. He quickly stuffed all the Life Essence Crystals on the table into his backpack, got up, caught up with Gao Yang, and said excitedly and earnestly:

"Your Excellency Gaoyang, please rest assured, I will handle this matter well for you."

Without making any grand promises or offering excessive praise, Iuliano calmly explained his stance to Gao Yang.

"Thank you, President Yuliano." Gao Yang stood at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, expressed his gratitude, and then returned to his senses.

Iuliano watched Gao Yang leave with a smile, but his smile instantly turned serious as he turned and walked toward the Chamber of Commerce, his heart filled with turmoil.

The initial excitement had faded, and Iuliano instantly realized that this was not something he, or even his lineage, could push forward alone.

He needs allies, he needs reliable allies!

A tall, strong figure appeared in Juliano's mind: Matthew Carlson, the branch president of the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild of the Eberon World.

The person he once considered a competitor now appears to be his best partner.

They all knew Gao Yang and had a good relationship with him, so they naturally had a basis for cooperation. However, before that, they were vying to take their relationship with Gao Yang a step further, which prevented them from reaching a cooperation agreement.

However, now that the crystallization of the origin of life has appeared, the benefits generated are already enough for them to distribute. In fact, even with the size of their two lineages, they cannot completely swallow and digest such enormous benefits.

Gao Yang had no idea what Juliano was thinking, nor did he care. To him, paying the Chamber of Commerce to handle things was fair and just.

As for the possibility that the Goblin and Dwarf Merchant Guild might take the money and not deliver, this is highly unlikely, given their reputation built over thousands of years.

Furthermore, if such a thing were to unfortunately happen, Gao Yang would show them that a businessman is always just a businessman.

Half a day later, Gao Yang looked at the light blue planet in front of him and felt a sense of relief.

He spent a full half-day traveling through space in his physical form before finally returning to Earth. If it had taken any longer, he probably would have felt like a lost soul.

Gao Yang paused for a moment, then flew towards Earth.

Soon, the moment he entered Earth, his body vanished.

In the next instant, he appeared in the Qingxu Cave.

This trip to the Primordial Realm lasted for two and a half years, which is exactly five months in Earth time.

Five months had passed, and the world within Qingxu Cave Heaven had become even more profound, with a slight increase in energy concentration.

With a thought, Gao Yang appeared inside the Qingxu Hall.

Immediately afterward, his senses revealed that he saw the two-headed ice dragon Audreyville sleeping soundly in the glacier, the Chlogo tree rooted in the center of the earth, and the nightmare beast Thunder running wildly across the land like lightning.

"Strange, where's Fatty?"

Gao Yang raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, as the master of this plane, nothing in the Qingxu Cave Heaven should escape his perception, yet he did not sense the figure of Fatty Kunkun.

"Could it be that they went to Earth?"

Gao Yang muttered to himself, and the next moment he suddenly thought of something and instantly appeared in the side hall of Qingxu Hall - Mingguang Hall.

He looked at the huge pool inside the hall, where a colossal creature that almost filled the entire pool was fast asleep. Who else could it be but Fathead Kunkun?

Looking at the chubby Kun in the pool, Gao Yang couldn't help but smile: "You're quite clever. If you were to grow at the usual rate, hundreds or even thousands of years would have passed by the time you reached adulthood."

Now, through this Bright Light Pool, your growth rate has increased fiftyfold, saving you a considerable amount of time.

The lifespan of an astral behemoth is even longer than that of a dragon. It takes hundreds of years for an astral behemoth to grow from infancy to adulthood. Even with the resources provided by Gao Yang to accelerate its growth, Fathead Kun Kun only saves a few decades.

True growth takes a long enough time.

Five months is equivalent to twenty years within the Mingguang Pool.

Having learned where Fatty Kunkun had gone, Gao Yang stopped paying attention and quickly returned to his residence.
