Forging Immortality through the Dao Seed

"Half price, or priority purchasing rights? Is this the surprise you two brothers mentioned before?"

Hei Jiao murmured.

Although this was somewhat different from what he had anticipated, there was no doubt it was indeed a huge surprise for him.

Wait a minute.

A contemplative look suddenly flashed through Hei Jiao's eyes.

If the Star Pavilion could casually change prices and establish purchasing rights like this, then it was obvious that there must be a myriad of connections between it and the two brothers, and it was even possible that the mysterious mastermind behind the Star Pavilion was one of those three brothers.

"It should be Brother Huan Meng."

He guessed, which also explained why, despite the other's weaker strength, he could have such a deep relationship with the brothers Yinguo and Hei Shui.

So, he was a master of artifact refinement.

His thoughts returned to reality.

Hei Jiao looked down at Yuanfang Ghost, smiled, and said, "In that case, I'll buy one Star Flag and nine small Star Banners."

With those words, he prepared to take out the bronze coins from his storage space, but in the next moment, his expression quickly froze.

Damn it! Just now at the Star-picking Tower, he had lost all his bronze coins.

In an instant, Hei Jiao could no longer care about the Yuanfang Ghost in front of him, and he hurriedly turned to leave.

He needed to quickly sell some treasures, for if he delayed any further, the Star Banners inside the Star Pavilion might all be sold out.

Behind him.

"I'm sorry, customer, but your special privilege can only be used for the purchase of one magical treasure—"

Yuanfang Ghost stood there, stunned, gazing at the tall retreating figure, his words coming to an abrupt halt.

...

...

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, decades had passed.

Less than ten years now remained until the closing of Bliss Fairy Island.

As the date drew closer, a somber atmosphere gradually permeated the Immortal Island.

Roaring sounds, the rumbling of magical artifacts, cursing voices, and various other sounds intertwined, echoing non-stop in every corner of the Immortal Island.

Of course, inside Bliss Immortal City, everything remained as peaceful as ever, at least on the surface.

Just like the Devil God Ranking, the names on the first few pages remained unchanged for decades, but the ranks behind them were fiercely changing all the time.

On the one hand, with the closing of Bliss Fairy Island at hand, those creatures who had kept a low profile and made a fortune were no longer reserved and began to compete for rankings with all their might, after all, it concerned the final reward; on the other hand, many creatures had gained a large number of resources and legacy on Bliss Fairy Island, their strength greatly increased, and naturally, they would not fall behind.

Under the effects of various factors, the competition for ranks on the Devil God Ranking and the Victory Ranking gradually intensified.

Above all were the creatures of the Combining Dao of the Immortal Fish Alliance.

Many reasons led to this situation, but the most crucial one was due to a powerful magical treasure.

...

...

"Star Banner!"

"It's the power fluctuation of the Star Banner, those bastards from the Immortal Fish Alliance have a Star Banner."

At the border between the Immortal Fish Alliance and the Three Hunting Alliance, a ten-man squad was engaged in a difficult battle against a heavily armored ferocious beast. All of a sudden, someone seemed to sense something and started shouting loudly.

In his voice was a hint of fear and unwillingness.

Clearly, the man understood what it meant to encounter a creature from the Immortal Fish Alliance possessing a Star Banner at this time.

No sooner had the voice trailed off than the other nine people involuntarily stopped their movements, ignored the beast, turned their heads, and looked in the direction pointed out by the speaker.

In their view.

The air showed ripples of transparency, as if some terrifying force was squeezing through.

Through these ripples, they could vaguely see five figures rapidly approaching.

Above these figures, each had a black banner fluttering, emitting strands of peculiar starlight that spread from these black banners, forming a connection.

Under the cover of the starlight, those five figures appeared to be perfectly unified. With matching strides, they crossed tens of miles in just a few flashes and brazenly appeared in the center of the battlefield.

There were only five of them, but they acted arrogantly, clearly not paying any mind to the ten-man squad of the Three Hunting Alliance opposite them, nor the ferocious beast behind them.

Upon witnessing this scene.

The line of ten people stood silently, their faces showing not the slightest surprise.

Years of bitter experience had taught them that with the Star Banners standing three feet above their heads, the other party indeed had the capital to disregard them.

And across from them.

The moment the leader of the five figures stopped, he walked straight up to the ten people and spoke with an indifferent expression, "Many brothers, this fierce beast attacked a Combining Dao being within our Immortal Fish Alliance a few days ago, so it's best that we take over. If we have offended anyone in any way, please forgive us."

His words seemed polite, but his tone showed no apology and even carried an undeniable arrogance.

"You—"

A woman, outraged, immediately retorted, "This beast is clearly the one we have been pursuing from within the Three Hunting Alliance's territory to here, how dare you spout such blatant lies?"

"Oh, then it seems we must have been mistaken."

The man's expression faltered, as if he did not expect such a response from her.

On hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to respond, she suddenly saw an even heavier expression on the faces of the others beside her.

What does this mean? A wave of confusion welled up within her.

But in the next moment.

She saw the man across from her raise his eyebrows slightly, and then he said, "Since this is the case, then this beast should rightly be dealt with by you."
