Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 335 0334: Found the passage!!
On the streets of Ice City, people were coming and going, some in a hurry, and some talking on the roadside. Cheng Zongyang heard some warriors talking, seemingly discussing the dangers and possible opportunities encountered in the Xuanyuan Secret Realm.

As he walked, Cheng Zongyang came to a busy market.

The market was filled with all kinds of items, including precious medicinal herbs, exotic minerals, and ice essences of different sizes and grades. There were also some cold-resistant clothing specially prepared for ordinary people, and fire-type warm stones from the Fire Region prepared for warriors and immortals.

Cheng Zongyang walked through the market, occasionally stopping to look at some items he was interested in. He was mainly observing the ice spirits.

Ice essence is also divided into grades.

The first-level ice spirits that appeared at the outermost edge of the ice area were also the cheapest. The further in, the higher the level of ice spirits, the higher the value. The higher the level of ice spirits, the more likely they were to form ice spirits.

"The lowest ice essence here is level three, and it costs thirty spirit stones each? It's more than ten times higher than the price of level one." Cheng Zongyang was a little surprised. This price is still the lowest. Some stalls sell it for thirty-two or thirty-three spirit stones.

He thought about it, bought one, and tried to sell it to Luo Dingran.

He continued to stroll around the market. As long as the production volume was large and the price was advantageous, Cheng Zongyang would buy some and keep them for later consignment to try and see if there was a big profit margin.

This will also increase the variety of consignment goods and increase the speed of earning points.

At this moment, a stone emitting a faint glow on a stall caught his attention.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face. He saw Cheng Zongyang's gaze and introduced enthusiastically: "My dear brother, this is a rare second-level ice soul stone from the ice domain. It is a very good material for practicing ice magic and refining ice magic tools and treasures."

Cheng Zongyang picked up the stone and wanted to observe it, but as soon as he touched the stone, his fingers immediately felt a chill penetrating into his heart.

But his adaptability talent allowed him to get used to the cold in an instant, and it was as if he was holding a stone that made him feel very comfortable and cool.

This scene surprised the stall owner, and there was more respect in his eyes.

Only a foundation-building cultivator of the same level can resist the freezing air that ignores the second-level Ice Soul Stone.

Cheng Zongyang was unaware of the change in the stall owner's attitude, he just felt the cold energy fluctuations contained in the stone.

He thought to himself that he couldn't use this stone to practice or refine weapons, but he could either use it as a refrigerator or try to sell it on consignment.

After some bargaining, Cheng Zongyang reduced the price from 80 spiritual stones to 60 spiritual stones. When the stall owner could not lower the price any further, he bought the stone. He did not know whether the price was too high or not.
After leaving the market, Cheng Zongyang continued to explore the Ice City.

The Ice City is shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere. The streets are bustling with people, each with his or her own purpose and vigilance.

Cheng Zongyang moved among the crowd. His disguised, sharply contoured face looked even more stern under the cold light of the Ice City.

Soon, he came to a huge ice sculpture of a human figure in the center of the Ice City Square.

This ice sculpture was lifelike, like a sleeping giant. Cheng Zongyang only glanced at it and lost interest.

In his opinion, this person was probably a former big shot of some immortal sect. Although his arrogant attitude was majestic, it had nothing to do with the purpose of his trip.

After visiting the two markets, Cheng Zongyang had a deeper understanding of the overall situation of items and prices in Bingcheng, and it was indeed similar to what Baili Xi said.

The next day, Cheng Zongyang was not in a hurry to enter the Xuanyuan Secret Realm, but explored the Ice City carefully. On the one hand, he wanted to find out if there were any specialties here that were worth consigning, and on the other hand, he continued to inquire about the situation of the Xuanyuan Secret Realm.

For Cheng Zongyang, it would be a waste if he did not get to know the local specialties of a place and increase the variety of products that can be consigned.

On this day, Cheng Zongyang continued to travel around every corner of Ice City.

The buildings in the ice city sparkled in the sun, like a dreamy crystal city. On the streets, the cries of vendors rose and fell, adding a touch of fireworks to this cold city.

Cheng Zongyang saw a lot of good things, but they were all in small quantities and related to ice materials, whether they were monsters, spirits, minerals, or spiritual medicines, etc. But most of them were items from the Xuanyuan Secret Realm, including old porcelain, broken weapons, ordinary precious century-old medicinal materials, and a few spiritual medicines.

However, it was after seeing an old object that also came from the Xuanyuan Secret Realm that Cheng Zongyang's heart was filled with shock!

Cheng Zongyang stopped in front of a stall, looking at the old bronze tripod about a foot in size in his hand. He couldn't calm down at all and tried his best to suppress his inner excitement.

This is an old three-legged bronze tripod, but its style is basically the same as the incense tripod used for worship in the Three Lords Temple.

But that was nothing. What excited him was that there were the same ancient words on it - "Respect the Heaven and follow the ancestors, pray to the sea god to bless the people with smooth sailing."

Different from the content of the Three Lords Temple, the one mentioned here is not the Three Lords of Wind, Rain and Thunder, but the God of the Sea, which means there is one more god!
This means... Xuanyuan Secret Realm is related to the Wilderness World!!

Cheng Zongyang looked at the stall owner, trying to suppress his excitement, and asked, "Can you tell me where this thing came from in the Xuanyuan Secret Realm?"

The stall owner glanced at Cheng Zongyang and asked in confusion: "Why are you asking this?"

Cheng Zongyang shook his head: "Just curious. What's the price?"

After hearing the price inquiry, the stall owner smiled and said, "This is just an ordinary bronze tripod. Just give me a spiritual stone."

Cheng Zongyang was quite surprised that the stall owner did not raise the price. He took out a spiritual stone and gave it to the other party, then asked again: "Did you get this thing from a temple?"

The stall owner was surprised: "How did you know?"

He saw that Cheng Zongyang had just taken out the spirit stone out of thin air, and there was a storage bag on his waist, so he knew that the other party was a cultivator. Cultivators could not enter the secret realm, so he was curious about what Cheng Zongyang knew.

Cheng Zongyang laughed and said, "I've heard others mention it. I'm just more interested in this kind of antiques."

Seeing that no other customers were coming, the stall owner said, "Master, you are right. I found this thing in a ruined temple. I am only a low-rank warrior. I cannot go to dangerous places. I can only try my luck in some places and pick up some things that others don't like. But if I take them out, the purchasing shops won't want them, so I'll set up a stall here to try."

Cheng Zongyang didn't care about that and continued to ask, "Did you see the statue inside?"

"Yes, but they are all broken." The stall owner nodded.

“Is there something between the eyebrows of the statue’s head?”

As he spoke, Cheng Zongyang took out the map of the secret realm given by Bailixi, spread it out, then took out a spirit stone and gave it to the stall owner, asking: "This is not a free help, this is a reward, point out the location to me." The stall owner never thought that he could make extra money, and happily put the spirit stone into his arms, and then looked at the map that Cheng Zongyang spread out.

As a result, when he saw the map, he was quite surprised. The maps they bought were not so complete. But then he thought about it and understood that the other party was a cultivator, so he could buy better and more complete ones. So he didn't ask much, and after quickly distinguishing the map for a while, he pointed to a corner of the map and said:

"It is in this mountain area. As for the center of the statue's forehead, I am not sure. The head of the statue is gone."

Cheng Zongyang immediately noted down the location, and then continued to inquire about the main locations and various shops that purchased secret realm items.

After getting the overall result, Cheng Zongyang then went to all the shops in Ice City that purchased secret realm items.

The only question he asked was, the head of the statue!

He knew very well that if there was still a soul crystal between the eyebrows of the statue, it would be impossible for ordinary people to peel it off.

At the beginning, he also relied on the suppression of the Ringwraiths to suppress the shock of the power of the gods. Moreover, they did not have their own identification ability, and they might just think that the soul crystals were some precious or strange things.

However, the outcome of the incident made Cheng Zongyang frown.

All the heads of the gods with soul crystals taken out from the secret realm were bought by various large families or immortal sects. He found out from more than a dozen shops that there were thirteen such heads of gods.

After failing to find the statue's head, Cheng Zongyang immediately changed his plan.

He began to offer high rewards in the five immortal sect offices in Bingcheng. He offered rewards for the locations of all temples where the statues had been. To facilitate his actions, he unified the time so that everyone who knew about it could see the bounty mission.

Although the statue soul crystal is precious, what he wants more are the five elements spirit beads that may exist underground!
Soul crystals are what the Ringwraiths need, but spirit beads are what he needs!

He never imagined that entering the Xuanyuan Secret Realm would lead to the wilderness world, or in other words, this was a lost passage!

This also means that the Ringwraiths and his guess were correct, there is indeed a passage!

After the bounty was offered, Cheng Zongyang did not stay any longer. Instead, after making preparations, he left Ice City and headed west, entering the passage to the secret realm.

The distance was not far, only about ten miles. When he saw the entrance to the secret realm, he was quite surprised.

He had never asked what the entrance to the passage looked like, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that it was actually inside a huge iceberg cave!
There were a lot of people queuing up to enter, and their faces showed anticipation, nervousness, or excitement.

Cheng Zongyang stood in the crowd, looking forward with a determined look. Everyone who entered had to pay a spirit stone, which was collected by the five major immortal sects, and no one could resist. Cheng Zongyang followed the crowd, paid a spirit stone, and walked into the spacious ice cave.

The ice cave, which is about ten meters wide, is divided into two paths, one going back and forth.

Some people were talking in low voices, and the complex voices echoed in the ice cave, seeming ethereal and distant; some people were walking quickly, and the sound of their footsteps made crisp sounds on the ice; some people were looking at the harvest of those who had returned from the opposite side, with envy or jealousy in their eyes; some people were stopping to sort out supplies, their movements were skillful and orderly.

Cheng Zongyang felt more anxious.

Originally, everything in this wilderness world belonged to him. Who would have thought that there was a channel connecting to the outside world.

Soon, they walked out of the cave as the crowd walked.

Cheng Zongyang also discovered that this was also the entrance to a cave in a mountain. The environment here was no different from some markets, but it had obviously been renovated, with sheds, shops, inns, material supply points, trading points, etc.

The five major immortal sects did not restrict when people who entered the secret realm could leave, so there were many people living here. Of course, they could only rent a house, and here, they could be protected by the five major immortal sects, and no one dared to cause trouble. Unless they built a house outside.

But not long after Cheng Zongyang entered this secret realm, the voice of the Ringwraith came to his mind -

[Detection found the connection channel between the two realms, the location of the link channel left in the Ten Thousand Races Realm is locked... Start to take over the channel authority... Detection coverage area is insufficient. Host, the existing territory coverage distance is insufficient, and it is impossible to enter the area to take over. Do you want to replace the area partially? ]

Hearing this reminder, Cheng Zongyang suppressed his excitement, quickly found an inn to stay in, and his mind quickly entered the Hall of All Races, and then transferred to the dominant space on the eighth floor.

"Ringwraith, what does this partial replacement of the area mean?" Cheng Zongyang asked quickly: "I expanded the distance by 30,000 kilometers before, but it still can't cover it?"

The voice of the Ringwraith immediately responded in the space:

[The territory of the Ten Thousand Races is extremely vast, and I cannot access all of it at my current level. If you replace part of the existing expanded area with the area near the channel, then the existing area will lose access rights, and you can enter the channel area.]

Cheng Zongyang understood now and asked, "How much area is covered over there?"

[After testing, it is about 15,000 kilometers. ]

Cheng Zongyang was shocked: "Half of them were replaced directly! Is this the extent of their exploration?"

【Yes. 】

“After replacing the area and taking over the channel, what can I do next?”

[After the replacement, you have the authority to control and can cooperate with the channel space and the realm of domination to control. ]

At this moment, Cheng Zongyang suddenly calmed down.

Faced with this sudden surprise, he had to calm himself down quickly, otherwise he would have to yell and vent.

There is no other reason. With the channel space and the authority of the realm of domination, he can take over everything here, make all new rules, and control the entry and exit of everyone.

But the problem is, he doesn’t have enough points!
Not to mention the formulation of various rules of the realm of domination, terrain changes, and the ups and downs that require a huge amount of points. Just the formulation of the rules of the channel space also requires a large number of points.

After the transaction with Qinglong Chamber of Commerce, his current points are still more than 200,000 points. But it is still possible to formulate some channel rules.

He was not in a hurry, but called Luo Dingran. He needed to understand the current situation of the territory to avoid any losses.
