The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2314: Chapter 2314: Stirring Up Trouble

Faro Heaven, Heavenly Gate Dao Sect.

In Faro Heaven, the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect is a top-tier force, not inferior to Mystic Moon Trading House or Slaughter God Hall.

The Sect Leader of Heavenly Gate Dao Sect, Wan Lunhai, is also one of the most elite cultivators at the Immortal Venerable Realm.

Back when Jing Yan entrusted Mystic Moon Trading House with the auction of an Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Spell, Wan Lunhai personally visited Mystic Moon Trading House to privately negotiate a deal for the virtualization spell with Elder Kuo Lian, but was ultimately rejected by Elder Kuo Lian.

Wan Lunhai sat inside a palace within the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect, with an elder of the Heavenly Gate Dao Sect standing opposite him.

"He wants to see me? Did he say what the matter is?" Wan Lunhai spoke in a deep voice.

"He said he would only disclose the matter upon seeing the sect leader, but..." The elder hesitated.

"But what?" Wan Lunhai asked with a frown.

"He said that the matter would greatly benefit Heavenly Gate Dao Sect. Furthermore, Heavenly Gate Dao Sect wouldn’t have to exert much effort to attain this benefit." The elder replied.

"Heh... truly arrogant. If not for relying on his master, what is he! To think he is worthy of negotiating with me?" Wan Lunhai sneered, his face filled with disdain.

"Master Sect Leader, this person is indeed very arrogant, shall I dismiss him?" Elder Zhi Zhuo raised his eyes to glance at Wan Lunhai and said.

Wan Lunhai, however, waved his hand and then stood up.

"That person may not be much, but he is, after all, a disciple of Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable. I must give face to Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable. Since he wants to see me, I’ll meet him. I want to see what he wants to discuss, and hopefully, it’s not a waste of my time." Wan Lunhai spoke in a deep voice as he walked towards the exit of the hall.

The person Wan Lunhai and Elder Zhi Zhuo were speaking about was Min Lan Immortal Venerable, a disciple of Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable.

This Min Lan Immortal Venerable had previous dealings with Jing Yan; he went to Wuxia City intending to purchase an Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Spell from Jing Yan but ultimately parted ways on bad terms.

In Faro Heaven, Min Lan Immortal Venerable is quite well-known, but his cultivation strength is not strong. Among cultivators at the Immortal Venerable Realm, he is not even considered Intermediate, far less than E Si Saint. Yet, because his master is Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, even prominent entities in the Heavenly Domain have to show some respect.

Min Lan Immortal Venerable was sitting in a reception room of Heavenly Gate Dao Sect when he saw Wan Lunhai entering from outside, quickly standing up and bowing in respect, a smile on his face.

Despite his arrogance, Min Lan Immortal Venerable knew his place. In front of real big figures, he maintained a humble attitude, like now in front of Wan Lunhai.

"Greetings, Master Sect Leader." Min Lan Immortal Venerable bowed and said.

"No need for formalities, sit." Wan Lunhai nodded and then took the head seat.

After Wan Lunhai sat, Min Lan Immortal Venerable, wearing a broad smile, sat down.

"How is your master?" Wan Lunhai glanced at Min Lan Immortal Venerable and asked.

"Master is fine. Master often says there are few people in the entire Heavenly Domain that he respects, and the Sect Leader of Heavenly Gate Dao Sect is one of them." Min Lan Immortal Venerable replied flatteringly.

When Wan Lunhai heard this, a smile appeared on his face as expected. This Heavenly Gate Dao Sect leader evidently enjoyed flattery. Whether Min Lan Immortal Venerable spoke true or not, or how exaggerated his words were, mattered little.

"Your master, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, I also respect greatly." Wan Lunhai said with a light laugh.

His tone had now softened somewhat compared to earlier.

"Min Lan, I heard from the people below that you came to find me because there’s something you want to discuss? Just say it!" Wan Lunhai changed the subject.

Although both Wan Lunhai and Min Lan were cultivators at the Immortal Venerable Realm, there was a large disparity in their statuses. Wan Lunhai spared time to meet Min Lan all because of Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable; he certainly wouldn’t waste time on pleasantries with Min Lan.

"Sect Leader, I will speak directly then."

"Actually, if this matter succeeds, it would greatly benefit Heavenly Gate Dao Sect." Min Lan organized his thoughts.

"Don’t beat around the bush with me. Just say what it is, I’ll consider it." Wan Lunhai waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes!" Min Lan Immortal Venerable straightened his posture.

"Sect Leader, Heavenly Gate Dao Sect is interested in Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Spell, correct?" Min Lan Immortal Venerable subtly glanced at Wan Lunhai.

He had already investigated and knew that the Sect Leader of Heavenly Gate Dao Sect, Wan Lunhai, had privately met with Elder Kuo Lian of Mystic Moon Trading House, seeking to purchase the virtualization spell.

Upon hearing Min Lan Immortal Venerable say this, Wan Lunhai’s eyes constricted, sending a sharp glare towards Min Lan Immortal Venerable.

"Min Lan, you are quite well-informed!" Wan Lunhai’s voice carried coldness.

"Master Sect Leader, please don’t misunderstand, I didn’t do it intentionally."

"I came to meet you this time to tell you that Heavenly Gate Dao Sect has hope of acquiring an Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Spell Manual without any cost, and the hope is substantial." Min Lan Immortal Venerable quickened his speech.

"What do you mean by that? Do you have an Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Spell in your possession?" Wan Lunhai looked at Min Lan Immortal Venerable.

In the entire Nine Days of Immortal Domain, Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Spell is extremely rare. If it were easy to acquire, Wan Lunhai wouldn’t have gone privately to see Elder Kuo Lian of Mystic Moon Trading House.

Let alone an Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Spell, even lower-grade virtualization spells are incredibly difficult to obtain.

Moreover, even if Min Lan Immortal Venerable had an Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Spell, it wouldn’t be given to Heavenly Gate Dao Sect for nothing, right?

"I don’t have an Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Spell, but I know how to acquire one. Sect Leader, do you remember the recent auction held by Mystic Moon Trading House, where that virtualization spell manual appeared?" Min Lan Immortal Venerable squinted slightly.

"Of course, I remember." Wan Lunhai said.

At the Mystic Moon Trading House auction, that Immortal Charm Level Virtualization Spell was auctioned for a sky-high price of seventy-two billion Black Crystal Stone, won by Yangshan Master; how could Wan Lunhai forget?

Heavenly Gate Dao Sect also bid but ultimately couldn’t compete with Yangshan Master.

"Min Lan, you wouldn’t be thinking of snatching that manual from Yangshan Master, would you?" Wan Lunhai laughed mockingly.

What kind of person is Yangshan Master?

He is one of the oldest Immortal Venerables in Faro Heaven, even Wu Guo Heavenly Lord shows deference as a junior before Yangshan Master. If that virtualization spell manual was acquired by other cultivators or forces, maybe some thoughts could be entertained. But with the manual in Yangshan Master’s hands, who in all of Faro Heaven dares to entertain any thoughts?

If Min Lan intends to snatch the manual from Yangshan’s hands, it would be too naive. Perhaps, it shouldn’t be called naive, but seeking death!
