Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 977 The Immortal Association Gathering (Part 2)

As soon as the words "Meteorite Sacred Heart" fell, Baruch snapped his fingers, and the surrounding environment changed accordingly.

An oval table was placed in the center of the room, with fifteen large chairs of different colors arranged in a row on both sides of the table.

However, now, a brand new, wide, gold-red chair slowly materializes. On the back of the chair, a silver two-handed greatsword is engraved, and the sharp number "16" appears on the blade.

Meteor Saint Heart looked at Gao Yang and, while others were taking their seats, said to him, "From now on, that chair will be yours alone, and there will be a key to your room on the corresponding table."

Gao Yang nodded, then walked to the gold and red chair, turned around, and sat down.

He looked down at the table in front of him, where a gold and red card lay quietly, with the number "16" printed on it as well.

Gao Yang reached out and picked up the card; the card's description appeared before his eyes:

Immortal Gold Card - 16
Quality: gold

Type: Badge

Special Effect 1: Immortal Association Identity Badge. Holding this badge allows free entry and exit to the Immortal Association and access to a private room.

Effect 2: This badge can appear as any accessory.

This identity card has no special functions, but it is just an identity card, yet it has a gold quality, which is a luxury in itself.

Gao Yang looked at the other members present and noticed some details that he had not paid attention to before.

Or rather, details that one wouldn't notice before possessing this identity card.

On the left ring finger of the Fallen Saint Heart was a ring that shone with a different light in Gao Yang's eyes. He noticed it immediately. On the ring, there was a faint number "5", which was the Immortal Gold Card that had been transformed into a ring.

Gao Yang turned to look at Baruch, whose mage robe had a brooch pinned to it, which also flashed with the number "2".

Looking at the other members, Zhu Qing's Immortal Gold Card is an earring, Ji Qiongyu's is a bracelet, and Qin Ying and Hui Ming each wear an earring.

With a thought, Gao Yang's Immortal Gold Card transformed into golden light, eventually becoming a dark gold ring that he placed on the ring finger of his right hand.

After everyone was seated, Fallen Saint Heart walked to the head seat of the oval table and sat down. Gao Yang then heard him speak:
"This gathering is mainly because new members have joined the association, and it will be another year and a half before we meet in person again."

Please remember to set aside time and try your best not to be absent.

After finishing speaking, Yun Shengxin turned to Gao Yang and said, "As for Brother Gao Yang, he is a new member. I will send you the address of the next gathering later."

Gao Yang nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Now, let's begin the gathering. At the last gathering, Baruch wanted 'perfect magical material,' Pochi wanted a 'heart of the Hundred-Armed God,' Qinying and Huiming wanted a treasure that could help them conceive life, Zhuqing needed 'divine fragment - fire,' and the others did not make any requests."

After saying that, Meteor Saint Heart looked around the entire room and continued, "If anyone obtains the items they need, they can trade with them now."

Pochi clapped his hands, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"I recently hunted down an ancient Time Dragon and obtained a Time Dragon Eye, which is exactly the 'perfect magical material' that you need, Baruch."

However, I will only accept the heart of the Hundred-Armed Deity in exchange; this is crucial to my cultivation system.

After Pochi finished speaking, he clenched his fist, and a vertical pupil the size of a fist, radiating a chaotic glow, appeared in his palm.

The moment that vertical pupil appeared, time and space in the conference room seemed to collapse towards it.

This was just an illusion, but Gao Yang had no doubt that if this Time Dragon Eye appeared in the real world, it would definitely cause the surrounding space and time to collapse.

Baruch looked at the vertical pupil in Pochi's hand with great interest and said with a hint of amazement, "An ancient time dragon! Perhaps only an old hunter like you, Pochi, who specializes in tracking and hunting, could find its clues and kill it."

Upon hearing this, Poch chuckled and said, "Of course."

You know, I had to travel through more than ten crystal walls to finally pinpoint its location in order to track it down.

Then, they sealed off the time and space of the hunting grounds, and at a great cost, finally managed to kill it completely.

In terms of difficulty to kill, this ancient Time Dragon definitely ranks among the top three of all the creatures I've hunted.

Gao Yang sat in his chair, listening to Boqi's introduction with a calm expression, but his eyes twitched slightly involuntarily.

Hunting ancient time dragons? Hunting down more than a dozen crystal wall systems? Sealing off time and space?

Any one of them would be an extremely powerful force in the legendary stage.

In fact, Gao Yang had never even heard of the term "Time Dragon" if Boqi hadn't brought it up himself.

The Time Dragon possesses the ability to completely sever the time and space in which it exists.

Gao Yang simply couldn't understand how Boqi managed to hunt down such an almost invincible being.

Before joining the Immortal Association, Gao Yang knew that his own foundation was far inferior to those of legendary beings in the multiverse who had lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

However, there is no specific numerical value displayed for this deficiency.

Now, Gao Yang finally understands the gap between himself and the most outstanding immortal legends in the multiverse.

However, this gap seems a bit too large.

Overall, his ranking in terms of strength within the Immortal Association should perfectly match his member number.

A sense of amazement rose in Gao Yang's heart; the Immortal Association was even more valuable than he had anticipated.

After Poch finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on Baruch's face. He looked at Poch and nodded, saying:
“Perfect timing. I have the heart of a hundred-armed god here, which I can use for the exchange.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room vanished, and the scene changed constantly.

The next moment, Gao Yang found that they had appeared in a pitch-black, boundless astral void.

The entire void contained only them, the chairs beneath them, and the long table in front of them.

Baruch tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and the next moment, an intense killing intent erupted from above everyone's heads.

Gao Yang looked up and saw a heart the size of a planet materialize out of thin air.

The moment the heart appeared, a rapid, drum-like heartbeat filled everyone's ears, and the entire heart contracted and expanded at a high frequency, just as it had before it was removed.

"It really is the heart of the Hundred-Armed God's offspring. Baruch, how did you obtain it?"
I searched for a long time in the bottomless abyss, but I still couldn't find any trace of the Divine Child.

Of course, if it's inconvenient, then forget it.

Pochi smiled and turned to Baruch, asking curiously.

Baruch didn't spoil the mood, but said directly, "Hundred-Armed Divine Spawns are hard to find, so I bred one myself."

Gao Yang's eyes twitched violently several more times, and he looked at Baruch with an incredulous expression.

He really wanted to ask if the other person was speaking human language.

How exactly is a divine offspring, especially the most ferocious Hundred-Armed Divine Offspring, cultivated?
Gao Yang looked at the others, whose expressions were normal, indicating that they were used to it.

Seeing this, Gao Yang suppressed his shock. He knew that he would likely see this situation frequently in the future, and after a while, he would no longer be shocked.

After saying that, Baruch did not continue.

Poch nodded, then said, "Let's make a deal. I'll come find you."

Clearly, neither the Time Dragon Eye nor the heart of the Hundred-Armed God's offspring can be traded through the online marketplace.

Their status is too high; it's not safe to use them through the integrated network.

It's best to trade something this important in person.

After Poch finished speaking, Baruch nodded.

Seeing that the two had reached a consensus, Yun Shengxin continued to preside: "So, have the others obtained the items that Qin Ying, Hui Ming, and Zhu Qing needed?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ying and Hui Ming looked at everyone with anticipation in their eyes.

It is inherently difficult for a legendary-ranking being to give birth to new life.

Moreover, both of them are at the Immortal Legend stage, and their powerful physical attributes make it significantly more difficult for them to conceive, almost to the point of being impossible.

Perhaps only gods of a high level of divine power who seek divine duties related to "reproduction" and "life" can enable them to conceive normally and give birth to offspring.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had not obtained any of the treasures.

As for the divine fragment of fire that Zhu Qing needed, there was not a single clue.

"Alright, now that the issues left over from the last gathering have been resolved, let's move on to the second item. Does anyone have anything new they'd like to trade?"

Alternatively, if you need to team up with others, you can bring it up now.

According to the rules, starting with the member after the host, Roger, it's your turn.

Gao Yang looked at Roger, who was the sixth member of the Immortal Association.

Roger, having been singled out by the Fallen Saint Heart, raised his head, looked at everyone with his eerie green eyes, and then shook his head to indicate that he had no needs.

The crowd, unfazed, turned their attention to Caesar.

Caesar is the ninth member of the Immortal Association, while the positions of number seven and number eight are vacant, indicating that these two are unable to attend due to other commitments.

"I still collect all kinds of forging materials, as long as they are legendary-level forging materials. I will give corresponding rewards or forging opportunities based on the value of the collected materials."

After Caesar finished speaking, his gaze fell on Pochi.

Clearly, he was very interested in the materials from the ancient time dragon that Poch had hunted.

Seeing this, Poch smiled and said, "It seems that the materials I harvested have found a new purpose. I need you, Caesar, to help me forge some arrows and upgrade my God-Hunter Bow."

Caesar nodded readily and said, "No problem. After your deal with Baruch is over, come to me. You know the coordinates."

After the two completed their agreement, Gao Yang asked, "Do you accept legendary-grade forging materials like dragon scales?"

“Of course, dragon scales are excellent forging materials. Gao Yang, do you have any legendary-level dragon scales?” Caesar quickly replied.

Gao Yang glanced at the mountain of dragon scales that occupied a large corner of his inventory, then nodded and said, "There are some, about twenty legendary dragon scales."

Caesar didn't take it seriously and immediately waved his hand, saying simply, "Then I'll take them all."

He stopped mid-sentence, his eyes widening as he looked at Gao Yang and asked, "How much?"

“More than twenty legendary dragons,” Gao Yang repeated.

Caesar hissed softly and frowned, saying, "That's a lot."

Then, he looked up at Gao Yang and asked, "So many dragon scales are too valuable. I don't have anything of equal value to exchange with you for them at the moment."

Seeing this, Gao Yang said nonchalantly, "Our relationship hasn't changed. I also have other needs. If you have something I need later, we can just exchange them directly."

Upon hearing Gao Yang's words, Caesar nodded but did not continue speaking.

"Continue, Ji Qiongyu, Zhu Qing, is there anything you'd like to offer in exchange?"

Ji Qiongyu's beautiful eyes shone brightly as she slowly spoke, "I have recently acquired a fragment of a divine essence, from the 'Wealth' realm. Does anyone wish to exchange it?"

Zhu Qing sighed slightly; such fragments of divine essence were useless to her.

After waiting for a moment and seeing no one respond, Baruch said, "Since no one else wants it, then give it to me. I remember that your cultivation requires you to comprehend the so-called heaven and earth and nature, right?"

"I'll give you the right to use a plane with complete world rules for a hundred years in exchange for this fragment of godhood."

"make a deal."

Ji Qiongyu nodded and readily agreed to the deal.

It's difficult to accurately assess the value of the right to use a plane for a hundred years versus the value of a fragment of divinity.

But for everyone present, as long as their own needs are met, the conditions for the transaction are met.

Seeing that the two had finished their transaction, and Zhu Qing had not brought out anything to trade, Yun Shengxin's gaze naturally fell on Gao Yang.

"Brother Gao Yang, is there anything you'd like to trade, or anything you'd like to acquire?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Gao Yang paused for a moment, then flipped his hand, and a bright red, crystal-clear object appeared in his palm.

"The Crystallization of the Origin of Life, when used by legendary professionals, can strengthen their own primal life force and increase its intensity, with the degree of increase varying depending on their strength."

The boost for newly crowned legends is between 8% and 10%, while for me, the initial boost was 2.8%.

After Gao Yang finished speaking, many people's eyes fell on the bright red crystal floating in his palm.

Baruch examined the crystal of life essence carefully, and after a moment said, "I've never heard of this before. According to your description, it seems to be able to extend lifespan?"

As soon as Baruch finished speaking, everyone present perked up. Longevity-enhancing items are in high demand everywhere.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Gao Yang nodded and continued, "With the enhancement of one's primordial life force, lifespan can naturally be extended."

"Does this mean that lifespan can also be increased by almost the same amount as the original life force?" Zhu Qing asked somewhat eagerly.

Gao Yang met her gaze and could clearly see the expectation in her eyes. He then nodded and said, "That's roughly how it can be understood."

After Gao Yang finished speaking, Zhu Qing said decisively, "Give it to me, and I'll give you whatever you need."

Then, she looked at the others present and said, "Everyone, an elder of mine is nearing the end of his life and urgently needs something to prolong his life. I beg you all to part with it."

Gao Yang slowly shook his head, and under Zhu Qing's puzzled gaze, he took out four more Life Essence Crystals.
