"I am Shen Yu. Are you heading to Qianyang Immortal Realm for the auction? Shall we travel together?" the young man in golden robes asked enthusiastically.
"No need, we are accustomed to traveling alone," Wang Changsheng declined. He hadn't expected to encounter such an overly familiar cultivator, even after reaching the Dao Sovereign realm.
"Alright! Then I'll—" Before Shen Yu could finish speaking, a deafening boom echoed, and a massive, conspicuous golden light appeared in the distant sky.
Wang Changsheng frowned. His divine sense detected two Dao Sovereigns rushing towards them.
A blue light flared high in the sky. As it receded, a gaunt, emaciated old man in a blue robe appeared. His body was much larger than that of a human, and his skin was covered in some blue spirit patterns, indicating he was not human.
The old man in blue robes was covered in blood, his aura weak, appearing to have sustained severe injuries.
"You don't really think you can escape, do you?" a cold female voice drifted from the sky.
As soon as her voice faded, countless purple miasma rose from beneath the old man in blue robes. They churned and swirled, transforming into enormous purple venomous pythons that lunged at him.
The old man in blue robes waved his right hand, and a large expanse of blue mist swept out. Upon touching the purple miasma, a wisp of green smoke arose.
Just as he was about to employ other techniques, he was horrified to find himself above a vast, boundless swamp, covered with puddles and permeated by miasma.
"A Dao Realm!" the old man in blue robes exclaimed in shock.
The miasma churned and surged, transforming into countless purple arrows that shot straight towards the old man in blue robes.
Wang Changsheng and his two companions did not interfere. It was truly rare to encounter Dao Sovereigns fighting while simply traveling.
A Dao Realm is a world created by a Dao Sovereign; within this world, the creator embodies the Dao itself.
A purple light appeared in the distant sky, flickered, and then stopped. As the light receded, a voluptuous woman in a purple dress was revealed. Judging by her aura, she possessed the cultivation of a mid-stage Dao Sovereign.
The woman in the purple dress glanced at Wang Changsheng and his companions, then said, "This humble one is Zuo Yue. I am under orders to apprehend this person. I kindly ask the three fellow Daoists not to interfere."
Zuo Yue unleashed thousands of Dao powers to attack the old man in blue robes. Within Zuo Yue's Dao Realm, the old man's strength was significantly suppressed, making him no match for her. In less than ten breaths, the old man, along with his Dao Realm, was annihilated, his soul utterly destroyed.
"Lady Zuo's Dao methods are profound. To use a Dao Realm to defeat an enemy and eliminate a Dao Sovereign so quickly, you are truly worthy of being a descendant of Fellow Daoist Zuo," Shen Yu praised.
When a Dao Sovereign employs a Dao Realm against an enemy, it can weaken the opponent's strength. However, if the enemy is too powerful and damages the Dao Realm, the caster will also suffer injuries. In severe cases, it would not be surprising for the caster to drop an entire major cultivation realm.
Using a Dao Realm against another Dao Sovereign carries significant risks. Yet, Zuo Yue utilized her Dao Realm to effortlessly slay an early-stage Dao Sovereign cultivator.
"Do you know me?" Zuo Yue scrutinized Shen Yu.
"More than five hundred million years ago, I saw Immortal Zuo at Senior Zuo's celebration. At that time, I was merely a Dao Ancestor," Shen Yu explained.
Zuo Yue suddenly understood and said, "Things have been a bit unsettled recently. Please be extra careful."
After saying this, Zuo Yue collected the storage bracelet from the old man in blue robes and departed.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's expressions turned serious. It seemed that the Chaos Realm was not peaceful either; even Dao Sovereigns could face assassination attempts.
Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the blue flying boat immediately emitted dazzling blue light, soaring forward.
Shen Yu also activated his flying Dao artifact and followed suit.
A day later, the blue flying boat came to a stop.
"This is Qianyang Immortal Island," Wang Changsheng said, looking at an immortal island floating high in the sky. The island was covered in dense vegetation and numerous buildings, and many cultivators could be seen. On the island stood a magnificent giant city, with "Qianyang Immortal City" written in large characters on its plaque.
Most large markets in the Chaos Realm are built on immortal islands, as the islands themselves are Dao artifacts, making them convenient to move.
Wang Changsheng put away the blue flying boat, and he and Wang Ruyan flew into Qianyang Immortal City.
The streets were wide and clean, bustling with cultivators. There were many Dao Ancestors, and over a dozen Dao Sovereigns could be seen.
Qianyang Immortal Realm was a major immortal realm, teeming with experts, far more prosperous than Tianyue Immortal Realm.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan strolled around, observing. Along the way, they saw many interesting things, but merely interesting; at their Dao Sovereign realm, there weren't many items that truly captivated their interest.
Half an hour later, they arrived at a sprawling bluestone plaza with numerous small stalls. The goods on display were diverse and varied.
After browsing around, they found no bargains, which was normal. It would be strange if items needed by Dao Sovereigns were so easily discovered.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan suddenly quickened their pace and approached a small stall. The vendor was a ruddy-faced old man in black robes, with naturally formed black patterns on his face. Judging by his aura, he was also a Dao Sovereign.
The stall had many items, mostly resources needed by Dao Sovereigns.
"How much are the Grand Dao Seeds?" Wang Changsheng asked, his gaze fixed on a golden crystal ball containing two Grand Dao Seeds.
"For exchange only, not for sale," the old man in black robes replied.
Wang Changsheng took out an exquisite blue jade box and handed it to the old man in black robes. The old man opened the lid and saw a Blood Pearl Fruit.
"Only one? That's too few," the old man in black robes said with a frown.
"Do you think we don't understand the market? No matter how precious Grand Dao Seeds are, they are not of great use to Dao Sovereigns. As for the effects of the Blood Pearl Fruit, I don't need to elaborate. If fellow Daoist isn't interested, then forget it." Wang Changsheng moved to retrieve the Blood Pearl Fruit.
"Just kidding, it's a deal. The two Grand Dao Seeds are yours," the old man in black robes said. He took the Blood Pearl Fruit and handed the crystal ball to Wang Changsheng.
Wang Changsheng opened the crystal ball, took out the Grand Dao Seeds, and after confirming they were correct, put them away.
They continued to stroll around the bluestone plaza, exchanging for several different Dao materials.
Li Xin took out some Dao materials to exchange for Blood Pearl Fruits with Wang Changsheng. Wang Changsheng, in turn, exchanged the Dao materials he didn't immediately need for those used in refining Dao Talismans, as Wang Ruyan could refine them.
As night fell, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had not yet finished exploring. Qianyang Immortal City had many good items, but they didn't have many Dao stones on hand, as their primary purpose was to bid for Grand Dao Seeds.
They rented a secluded small courtyard with blue tiles and settled in.
In a secluded manor, Zuo Yue was conversing with a tall old man in golden robes.
"No Time Dao origin? It seems that was false information. Anyway, he has committed many wicked deeds, so consider it acting on behalf of Heaven. Next time, investigate thoroughly before acting. It would be troublesome if we kicked a steel plate. The person who released the information is likely his enemy, wanting to use our power to eliminate him," the old man in golden robes said.
This was Zuo Lei, a mid-stage Dao Sovereign who had mastered two Supreme Daos.
"Yes, Great-Grandfather," Zuo Yue replied, then withdrew.
