Chapter 559: Chapter 270: Emperor Hong’s Trading Company, Ten Years Later_3

When he found the two Cultivation Worlds and the human cultivators, he believed that since the Evil World had passages to these two worlds, it was very likely that the Yu Heng World had passages to these two worlds as well. However, he had been too weak in the Yu Heng World at the time, and this information was somewhat sealed off, so he couldn’t reach it and naturally was unaware of it.

In his mind, he remembered the Jade Butterfly given to him by Lv Bai at the time, which detailed the major forces of the Seven Beidou Regions. At that time, he had suspected that the Seven Beidou Regions were not isolated and that there must be a way to connect them.

Now, after hearing what Hu Ping had said, he finally knew how the seven neighboring great worlds were connected.

“As for the passage in the City Lord Manor, Niu Mo, you can forget about it.”

“Now that the city lord has changed, the new Undying City Lord, who is said to be the Profound Yin Evil God, is very mysterious. Moreover, the City Lord Manor’s Space Passage quota is not sold to outsiders. To pass through it, one must first join the City Lord Manor, the difficulty of which can only be achieved by reaching the level of Evil Saint. It’s better not to think too much about it.”

“However, the passage of the Di Hong clan is open quite often, and the passage quota is sold to outsiders. The Di Hong clan has a trading company called Emperor Jiang Trading Firm, which is considered top-notch even in the Illuminating World. Although my Sky Fox Pavilion is not weak, I feel that there is a huge gap in comparison.”

“Emperor Jiang Trading Firm travels through Illuminating, Tianji, Opening Sun, and Tianquan worlds. The reason it is able to travel through various worlds is naturally because it controls several stable passages between them.”

“Fellow Daoist can pay a certain price and go along with the cultivators of the Emperor Jiang Trading Firm to use the two-world passage to either go to the Opening Sun or the Tianquan world.”

Han Yi was slightly surprised: “Is it that simple?”

Hu Ping laughed and said, “What’s so difficult about that? In my Illuminating World, there are often Demon Cultivators who want to go to the Opening Sun or Tianquan to attack human sects or Immortal Cities in an attempt to get rich overnight. However, ninety-nine percent of them are buried in those two Cultivation Worlds.”

“Fellow Daoist, you are not the first Demon Cultivator to have such an idea.”

“However, I advise that you be cautious. While it may be easy to go there, the price to come back is at least ten times more expensive. Even top-tier Evil Kings can hardly afford it; only those high-ranking Evil Saints have such financial resources.”

Han Yi nodded, his Inner Heart already eager to go to the Di Hong clan’s base, use the passage between the two worlds, and quickly return to the Human Cultivation World.

“Thank you, Manager Hu, for the information. I’ve made up my mind. How can I get in touch with the Evil Clan of the Di Hong clan?”

Manager Hu sighed softly, explaining, “Fellow Daoist, all you have to do is go to any Di Hong Trading Firm in the Ancient City, pay the money, and wait for a while. When the Di Hong clan’s passage between the two worlds opens, you will be arranged to pass through it together.”

It’s hard to dissuade an adventurous Evil Clan member from seeking their demise.

As a matter of fact, what Hu Ping had said was not very secretive as long as one had the heart to inquire about it in the Illuminating World. However, most of the Evil Cultivators did not have the intention of going to the Human Cultivation World to experience it, so they naturally did not think about it. This resulted in ordinary Evil Kings not being aware that there was a fixed passage between the two worlds.

Han Yi was overjoyed, not expecting it to be so simple. However, his face only showed a faint expectation.

After asking about the location of the nearest Di Hong Trading Firm and some related matters, Han Yi said goodbye to Hu Ping, left the Sky Fox Pavilion, and flew directly towards a certain direction of the Ancient City.

The Undying Ancient City was built on the Undying Mountain Range, and the vastness of the entire city was such that Han Yi estimated it would take him nearly a month to cross it at his full strength.

As he released his Immortal Boat and flew past a forest, Han Yi suddenly had a feeling in his Inner Heart, looking back and showing a cold smile on his face.

As soon as he left the Sky Fox Pavilion, he found that there was an Evil Clan member hidden behind him, but he didn’t care. With his current strength, unless it was an Evil Saint at the middle stage or above, they couldn’t do anything to him.

That being the case, this forest was the perfect place to deal with the trouble behind him.

With that in mind, Han Yi dove into the forest below. Behind him, a giant Immortal Boat carried thirteen Evil Cultivators who saw Han Yi dive into the forest and sneered. They had watched this fat target leave the Sky Fox Pavilion and knew that they would definitely gain a lot from killing him.

The Immortal Boat sped up, following closely like a streak of light. Among the thirteen Demon Cultivators on board, there were three Late-stage Golden Core cultivators and ten Middle Golden Core Stage cultivators. Although the three Late-stage Golden Core cultivators were not Golden Core Peak cultivators, this force was not to be underestimated.

After the Immortal Boat landed in the forest, a series of dense explosions rang out from the ancient and lush forest.

A quarter of an hour later.

The forest returned to silence, and an Immortal Boat leaped out from it, continuing to escape forward. This Immortal Boat was the one belonging to the thirteen Robbing Cultivators but it now belonged to Han Yi.

With another unexpected fortune, Han Yi was naturally delighted as the cost of going through the Di Hong Trading Firm’s passage between the two worlds would now be taken care of without him having to pay anything.

Three days later, Han Yi arrived at a Demon Pavilion without any trouble and found the Di Hong Trading Firm. After telling them his request, the shopkeeper didn’t find it strange. In the past, there had been many demon cultivators who wished to go to other Cultivation Worlds to try their luck. After all, battles and killings were commonplace there, and for those with formidable strength, such intense fights were one of the ways to quickly accumulate wealth.

However, ninety-nine percent of the demon cultivators who went in the past ended up as spoils of war for the cultivators of the other realm. After all, the situation in the two worlds was different; both the human clan and evil clan cultivators of that realm were far more ferocious.

Inside the Di Hong Trading Firm.

“Let me confirm this again. Your requirement is that any Immortal Realm in the Opening Sun World or Tianquan World is acceptable, without specifying a fixed one. Is that correct?”

Han Yi nodded: “Yes.”

“In that case.”

“The toll is 200,000 high-grade spirit stones.”

The shopkeeper of the Di Hong Trading Firm quoted the price expressionlessly.

Han Yi frowned slightly. According to Hu Ping of the Sky Fox Pavilion, under normal circumstances, the cost of passage between the two realms was 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, equivalent to a common high-grade magic treasure.

This price would normally only be affordable to late-stage Golden Core demon cultivators who were well-off.

But now, the price had doubled, making it nearly impossible for even a Golden Core Peak demon cultivator to afford, as it would consume nearly half, if not all, of their wealth.

This was more than just expensive.

Although Han Yi could afford it, he didn’t want to be cheated, so he naturally asked for clarity.

The shopkeeper then gave an explanation.

“This price was changed a hundred years ago. A hundred years ago, it cost more spirit stones and spiritual items to open the passage between the two realms. You are actually early. According to the predictions within our clan, in another hundred years, opening the passage will be even more difficult, and the cost may increase to 300,000 high-grade spirit stones.”

Han Yi’s heart jumped.

He knew that opening the passage between the two realms would naturally require the consumption of spirit stones and spiritual items.

But usually, the cost of opening the passage was fixed. However, according to the shopkeeper, the cost had been greatly increased starting a hundred years ago.

This meant that something must have happened a hundred years ago.

However, no matter what it was, it had nothing to do with him. After paying the fee, Han Yi received a token and was told to wait. As for how long the wait would be, the shopkeeper didn’t know either, only informing him that when the token glowed, he should gather here.

Han Yi rented an inn in the Demon Pavilion and settled down.

After a month had passed with the token remaining uneventful, Han Yi couldn’t resist and asked about the opening time of the passage between the two realms, only to be told to continue waiting. When he asked how long it would generally take to open, the shopkeeper shook his head.

“I can’t determine that. It’s all determined by our clan. The opening interval of the passage ranges from the fastest, three years, to the slowest, forty-five years.”

“I can’t give you a definite answer.”

With this, Han Yi gave up.

He left the inn and rented a cave mansion on the edge of the Demon Pavilion to live in.

At first, he was restless, but as time passed, he calmed down and treated this place as a seclusion for cultivation.

This waiting lasted for ten years.
