CHAPTER 1115: CHAPTER 838: IDENTITY

Cosmic Light Commerce.

Full name Eternal Universe Primordial Light Commerce.

Also abbreviated as Eternal Commerce, Cosmic Commerce, Eternal Universe Commerce, Cosmic Light Commerce, and so on.

The branches of Cosmic Light Commerce are spread across eighteen star zones, with each star zone and star domain having a branch of Cosmic Light Commerce.

This force is the tentacle of the Human Clan, collecting all intelligence and information of the Heart of the Cosmic through commercial trade.

Many forces naturally have some resistance to Cosmic Light Commerce.

But...

Want to stop the free trade of Cosmic Light Commerce?

Are the two Great Powers of the Commerce just for show?

If two Great Powers are not enough, the other seventeen Great Powers of the Human Clan would surely not stand by.

Under such circumstances, the establishment of branches of Cosmic Light Commerce was naturally very smooth.

This auction is held in the Eternal Universe Realm of the Eternal Star Domain in the East Desolation.

Unlike the Firewood Star Sea and Creation Star Sea, which entirely belong to the territory of the Human Clan, the East Desolation is jointly governed by one of the six major forces of the Human Clan, the Primordial Spirit Temple, the Star Spirit Yan Clan, and the Mechanical Clan.

The Human Clan occupies only a third of this star zone.

And the Eternal Star Domain is located near the Star Spirit Yan Clan, and given its proximity to the West Wasteland, where the Innate Sacred clan resides, it makes transportation convenient and the area rather prosperous.

The only downside is the mixed presence of numerous personnel, occasionally causing chaos.

However, the chaos is mostly confined to areas near transit stations and does not affect internal commerce and trade.

...

The auction by Cosmic Light Commerce has always brought decades of prosperity to a star domain.

This time is no exception.

Especially now that only a few months remain before the auction begins, an innumerable number of starships come and go at the transit station.

When Gu Jinlai emerged from a Realm Gate, for the first time, he realized that even advanced goods like starships could become crowded.

Above a transit continent with a diameter of over a billion kilometers, built with great manpower and resources by local forces, starships and star shuttles were parked densely.

Other exits were slightly better, but the entrance directly to the Realm Gate of the Eternal Universe was clogged tight.

Gu Jinlai estimated that it would take at least one or two months before he could pass through.

While time was still ample, he was unwilling to wait any longer.

"Cosmic Light Commerce has a good reputation and strong power, nobody would dare cause trouble at the auction site, but after leaving the Eternal Universe Realm, it’s not certain."

Gu Jinlai had no intention of playing the fool.

His goal was clear, aiming for the Supreme Immortal Artifact.

Therefore, he controlled the starship, directly leaving the continent where the transit station was located, and upon flying a certain distance, he directly launched the Boundless Immortal Technique.

With a Divine Sense as high as the Fifteenth Rank, he could accurately mobilize more Space Power each time, while the intervals between releasing his Immortal Techniques were compressed to the extreme.

In just half a month, he had appeared outside the Eternal Universe Realm.

Much faster than queuing for one or two months at the Realm Gate.

"Next..."

Gu Jinlai put away the starship and directly took out the Formless Pearl, concealing and simulating his own aura.

When auctioning a Supreme Immortal Artifact, if you don’t want trouble, the deterrent power of an Immortal Golden Immortal would hardly be enough.

And Great Immortal Venerables, top Immortal Venerables are leaders of overlord forces or top forces, so Gu Jinlai merely simulated the level of an ordinary Immortal Venerable.

In life-and-death combat, even a top Immortal Venerable wouldn’t dare claim that they would surely defeat an ordinary Immortal Venerable.

Therefore, in the grand environment of the Cosmic Light Commerce auction, a Supreme Immortal Artifact wouldn’t induce two Immortal Venerables to fight to the death.

With this in mind, Gu Jinlai took a step through the void, appearing at the outskirts of the Eternal Universe Realm.

Fluctuation of Divine Thought of the Thirteenth Rank swept across, swiftly triggering the formations of the Eternal Universe Realm.

As he stated his purpose, it wasn’t long before a figure hastily traversed the void, arriving into the starry sky.

It was indeed an Immortal Golden Immortal.

This Immortal Golden Immortal was dressed in luxurious clothing, with a steady aura. Even though facing Gu Jinlai, an Immortal Venerable, he maintained proper respect, but his words were neither humble nor arrogant: "Welcome, Immortal Venerable, to our Cosmic Light Commerce’s branch in the Eternal Star Domain, please come in."

Gu Jinlai nodded and followed him into the Eternal Universe Realm.

Immortal Venerables are considered top existences in any force, showing aura is quite normal for Cosmic Light Commerce to send an Immortal Golden Immortal to greet him.

"May I know how to address the Immortal Venerable? Do you have any accompanying immortal friends, and are there any accommodations requirements for your stay?"

"Gu."

Gu Jinlai spoke: "Arrange as you see fit."

Having said that, he directly took out a Storage Immortal Artifact imprinted with his Divine Thought fluctuation: "Help me appraise the value of these Immortal Artifacts."

"Immortal Venerable Gu."

The Immortal Golden Immortal respectfully acknowledged him, simultaneously taking the Storage Immortal Artifact.

With just a glance, this Immortal Golden Immortal couldn’t help but gasp.

Immortal Artifacts!

In this Storage Immortal Artifact, there were dozens, even hundreds of Immortal Artifacts!

Various Great Dao rhymes filled this Storage Immortal Artifact, dazzling this Immortal Golden Immortal’s eyes. Even breathing a casual breath seemed to be filled with the scent of wealth.

He tightly held this Storage Immortal Artifact, his hands trembling involuntarily, but still assuredly said: "Please rest assured, Immortal Venerable Gu, we will absolutely provide you with a satisfactory price."

"Hmm."

Gu Jinlai responded: "As fellow members of the Human Clan, I naturally trust the reputation of Cosmic Light Commerce."

Subsequently, under the lead of this Immortal Golden Immortal, he soon arrived at a palace shrouded by a sophisticated formation within the atmosphere of the Eternal Universe Realm.

In the palace was a girl with a flowing long dress, exuding an aura of immortality.

"Yun Ni greets Immortal Venerable Gu."

The girl gracefully made a bow: "During the upcoming period, if Immortal Venerable has any needs, you may instruct Yun Ni, who will do her utmost to fulfill them."

Gu Jinlai looked at her.

This young girl not only dressed in a way that appeared youthful and lovely, but judging by her agile spirit, her cultivation years wouldn’t exceed twenty thousand. Her cultivation is also considered to be at the Golden Immortal peak, with a Great Dao compatibility between 95% and 96%.

Such a Golden Immortal is worthy of being labeled as an Immortal Seed.

The Cosmic Light Commerce chose such a Golden Immortal, an Immortal Seed, as their reception...

He pondered for a moment, and then as if realizing something, a silent understanding emerged in his heart.

What of the Immortal Seed?

Now he appears as an Immortal Venerable.

Even the most talented Immortal Seed would be respectful in the presence of an Immortal Venerable.

In fact...

Not just an Immortal Seed, but even an Immortal Venerable Seed, if some true Immortal Golden Immortals can join under an Immortal Venerable, they would do so without hesitation.

A seed is still just a seed.

A seed that hasn’t grown cannot be compared to a true Immortal Venerable.

"Prepare a list of the auction items for me."

Gu Jinlai said, as if thinking of something, he added: "Prepare a list of the Supreme Treasures from all major branches of the Cosmic Light Commerce for me."

"Yes."

Yun Ni respectfully agreed.

Gu Jinlai patiently waited for the auction here, while the Immortal Immortal Instruments he brought were directly taken by that Immortal Golden Immortal to the Immortal Venerable in charge.

A cosmic cycle spans thousands of years.

The Cosmic Light Commerce’s auction held every cosmic cycle is given considerable importance by the upper echelons. Even though they know no small fry would dare provoke the Cosmic Light Commerce for a few Supreme Immortal Artifacts, they at least send an Immortal Venerable for security’s sake.

This time, due to the valuable auction items, more than three Immortal Venerables accompanied, with Bai Tianhe, a top-tier Immortal Venerable of the Cosmic Light Commerce leading.

This top-tier Immortal Venerable, gifted beyond measure, is a direct disciple of Xu Wu, a great power within the Cosmic Light Commerce. Despite the Great Dao he cultivates not specializing in combat, his goal has always been set at the Great Power realm.

The combat-averse Great Dao merely serves to reduce the Daoist Ancestor’s purification probability, allowing more time during the Immortal Golden Immortal phase.

The fact proven over sixty million years is that his three cultivated Great Daos show no sign of purification.

Over these sixty million years, while he hasn’t broken through to Great Immortal Venerable, his knowledge and foundation are so profound that many Great Immortal Venerables pale by comparison.

For this reason, he personally pricing several dozen Immortal Immortal Instruments is fitting.

...

"An Immortal Venerable? Without disclosing an identity?"

Upon hearing the Immortal Golden Immortal’s words, Bai Tianhe appeared slightly surprised.

"Yes, he uses the surname ’Gu’, yet no Immortal Venerables with this surname exist among the Human Clan. Although it doesn’t exclude the possible use of a false name."

Replied the respectful Immortal Golden Immortal.

Bai Tianhe nodded, not thinking deeply.

Due to multiple reasons, some Immortal Venerables opt to conceal their identities to avoid drawing too much attention.

He began appraising the Immortal Immortal Instruments presented by Gu Jinlai.

Despite being just Immortal-level artifacts, relying on his wealth of knowledge, the Immortal Venerable identified the origins of over a dozen artifacts and offered pricing judgments.

However, after appraising around 20% of the Immortal Immortal Instruments, it appeared as if he suddenly recalled something, and his expression subtly shifted: "Summon the Immortal Venerables Yu Sha and Long Yin for a discussion."

The Immortal Golden Immortal slightly hesitated upon hearing this, then quickly retreated.

Before long, two figures arrived.

They didn’t arrive in person; only two incarnations reached this enclosed space.

Immortal Venerable named Yu Sha appeared as a woman in her early thirties, exuding an aura of elegance and dignity.

Upon arrival, she spoke directly, "Brother Tianhe, anything amiss?"

"Look."

Bai Tianhe displayed the Immortal Immortal Instruments one by one.

The two Immortal Venerables were evidently seasoned and sharp-eyed individuals. After scrutinizing, their expressions became somewhat peculiar: "If I recall correctly, the owners of these Immortal Immortal Instruments... are mostly renowned Divine Emperors listed on bounty boards?"

"Indeed."

Bai Tianhe pointed out one by one: "The owner of this Immortal Immortal Instrument is the God Emperor Leize, the owners of these two Immortal Immortal Instruments should be the Xuanming God Emperor, and for these three Immortal Immortal Instruments, their owners should be the Divine Emperor Rong Guang... and among these Immortal Immortal Instruments..."

While speaking, his expression grew slightly bizarre: "These Immortal Immortal Instruments should be from the Star Spirit Yan Clan, the specific ones or which Immortal they belong to, more data is needed."

"I recall two hundred years ago, there was considerable turmoil across several Star Domains in the New Fire Star Sea. Hundreds, if not thousands, of Divine Spirits were appearing insanely, seemingly scheming for something. Before the Domain Masters overseeing the Star Domains could summon Immortal Venerables for aid, a mysterious Immortal Venerable defeated these Divine Spirits decisively? And the Immortal Venerable’s identity remains shrouded in mystery till today?"

Immortal Venerable Long Yin, after speaking, glanced at these Immortal Immortal Instruments, faintly realizing something.

"Without surprise, that Immortal Venerable has probably arrived here to sell his goods."

Bai Tianhe said.

Despite the vastness of the cosmos, for Immortal Venerable-level existences, the circle is quite small.

What transpired in the New Fire Star Sea over two hundred years is known by all, naturally.

Indeed, vanquishing thousands upon thousands of Divine Spirits, even if assuming that over 90% of Divine Spirits only had their Divine Bodies destroyed, is a substantial feat, meriting at the very least one Seven-star Merit.

With luck, even two or three Seven-star Merits, sufficient for a few Supreme Immortal Artifacts.

The Immortal Venerable circle naturally holds discussions about this immensely powerful top-tier Immortal Venerable.

Many are curious about his identity, awaiting his appearance during the Supreme Immortal Artifact exchange for potential camaraderie.

Now, he abruptly pops up here...

"Go see him?"

Immortal Venerable Yu Sha suggested.

"Better not, given his identity concealment, clearly he prefers not manifesting. Why seek uneventfully?"

Immortal Venerable Long Yin replied.

"That was my thought too. Still, several Great Immortal Venerables seem curious about his identity..."

Closing on this, Bai Tianhe shook his head lightly: "Nevermind, relay the message upward, let the elders decide."
