CHAPTER 983: CHAPTER 551: SPACE IMMORTAL HEAVEN (PART 2)

This world seems to possess some unknown law, directly reverting him to a mortal.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Zhao Sheng had to admit this bleak reality.

A moment later, Zhao Sheng walked back and forth on this street, about three hundred feet long, several times, yet he never found any living being.

He didn’t step off the street because each time he placed a foot outside, his heart would shudder, feeling an immense danger lurking beyond.

Just as he walked to the middle section of the street for the third time, Zhao Sheng suddenly saw a white vortex appear inexplicably not far ahead, followed immediately by a beam of light shooting out from within.

The vortex dissipated, and the light condensed into a white-robed elder with a face as white as snow and eyebrows as red as blood.

This person opened his eyes and saw Zhao Sheng at once, his expression halted, then he revealed a kind smile and said, "Little brother, you came quite early!"

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Sheng was slightly stirred; he could understand what the other person was saying, yet the lip movement didn’t match at all; this person was clearly speaking an unknown language.

Zhao Sheng’s mind flickered, and he cupped his hands and said, "I am Daoist Xi Ming, greetings to this Taoist. May I ask for your distinguished name and what place this is?"

The white-robed elder’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he smiled and said, "This old one’s Taoist name is Bai Lin."

Having said that, he continued, "Little brother, this must be your first time entering here. I must warn you, never disclose your true world and name to others; always use false names with other people, just make one up as you please."

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s face showed a "grateful" expression, and he cupped his hands once more: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance! I shall use the name Bai Mei from now on."

"A budding talent indeed!" The white-robed elder nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, another white vortex gathered nearby the two men.

Soon, a third person appeared before them.

The newcomer was entirely shrouded in a black robe, his appearance and physique completely obscured.

As soon as this person appeared, he cried out in panic: "My... my cultivation, where did it go? Green Cloud, come to me at once!"

However, no matter how he called, the Green Cloud he mentioned never appeared.

"My friend, stop shouting. This place has a spirit prohibition that will strip anyone’s cultivation upon entry; everything returns to normal after leaving. Don’t worry!" The white-robed elder was evidently warm-hearted, quickly offering advice.

The black-robed man immediately quieted down, then crossed his arms over his chest, speaking in a deep voice: "I am Wu Erkang; can you tell me if this is the legendary Immortal Realm?"

Upon hearing this, the white-robed elder couldn’t help but slap his leg and laugh heartily: "Haha, another deceived one. Just look at the surroundings here, does anything seem like the legendary Immortal Realm?"

"However, although this is not the Immortal Realm, it is still an indescribable mystical world. This place is where all beings from various worlds converge. You, I, and this little brother here should come from three different worlds?"

The black-robed person also noticed the mismatch in lip movement and immediately realized, nodding rapidly: "You are right! I... I thought I could ascend to the Immortal Realm but was fooled. When I return, I’ll massacre the entirety of Qinghai."

The white-robed elder waved his hand and said, "That is your personal matter and not related to outsiders. I’m only concerned about what treasures you possess for trade."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s heart stirred, but before he could speak, the black-robed person preemptively asked: "This is my first time here, I know nothing, please guide me, elder!"

"Even if you didn’t ask, I’d still tell you. These are just some basic common knowledge, it does no harm to share with you."

Saying this, the person began to introduce some rules and precautions of this place in front of the two of them.

A moment later, Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered as he already had a preliminary understanding of this place.

From the words of the white-robed elder, he clearly knew nothing about the Space Immortal Heaven, only aware that this is a special space and time where different worlds’ beings could traverse through rituals to arrive here.

The special laws of this world strip all beings of divine powers and mana upon entry, even True Immortal level beings are no exception.

Of course, the white-robed elder only heard this from a senior; he himself had never encountered an Immortal.

Due to its unique nature, naturally, it became an ideal trading location.

Whenever beings from different worlds step into this place, they bring countless treasures from the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, as well as unimaginable magical treasures, cultivation techniques, and spiritual pills.

One could imagine how precious and rare a place allowing interaction between All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds would be!

It’s said even the Immortal would yearn eagerly for this place.

According to the white-robed elder, whether bartering or other transaction methods, the rule is once the deal is made, there is no going back.

Additionally, there are hardly any constraints except for no fighting; falling victim to deceit is your own shortcoming in eye power, not anyone else’s fault.

"...Each time you enter here, the duration of stay varies, probably related to the amount of Power of Space-Time contained in what is sacrificed, of course also related a little to personal strength."

Hearing this, the black-robed person suddenly interjected: "Elder, my divine power is sealed, I am unable to open my storage ring. Without being able to take out treasures, how can I trade?"

The white-robed elder shook his head and laughed: "Since it’s your first time here, this time let it slide, remember to keep the treasures you wish to trade on you the next time you come in.

Well, if you two have further questions to ask, then I will have to charge. According to trading rules, a single Space-Time Sand for one question. The more precious the answer, the more Space-Time Sand required."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng was moved, reaching his right hand into his bosom, when he withdrew it, there was already an amber in his hand. Within the amber, five dim lights flickered.

"Senior, is this what you refer to as Space-Time Sand?"

The white-robed elder’s eyes lit up, nodding: "Correct, this is indeed Space-Time Sand, with actually five grains. Bai Mei little brother, you... take a look!"

While saying this, the person pulled out a fist-sized, crystal-clear spirit stone from his bosom, judging by its quality, it should be top-grade.

However, here, where spirit is prohibited, all extraordinary returns to silence.

It’s impossible to ascertain the authenticity of the spirit stone by appearance alone.

"Little brother, this is a top-grade spirit stone, more than enough to exchange for your five grains of Space-Time Sand. Do you want to exchange?" The white-robed elder said proudly.

Zhao Sheng shook his head: "Please forgive me, senior, I’d like to wait a while longer."

Just as his voice fell, the black-robed person urgently shouted: "Elder, I have a ten-thousand-year-old Flame Jade, can I exchange it for your top-grade spirit stone?"

Speaking, the black-robed person reached into his robe, plucking something from his waist and taking it out, it was a palm-sized, exotically fiery red jade token.

This jade token was three fingers thick, with flowing red light inside, clearly not an ordinary item.

"Exchange!" The white-robed elder swiftly agreed, handing over the spirit stone and then taking the fiery red jade token, a look of joy appearing on his face.

Zhao Sheng showed a hint of astonishment, it was evident that in the trade, the white-robed elder had gained a significant advantage.

Yet the other party seemed quite delighted, not thinking he had suffered a loss.

Suddenly, Zhao Sheng felt a subtle sense of rejection emanating from the surrounding space.

This indescribable rejection was feeble, seeming intent on pushing him out of this world.

Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered, suddenly realizing: "He is in this world—"
