Chapter 1680 — The Whereabouts of That Yi One

To have refined such a treasure and used it merely as a door plank showed just how seriously the Eldest Young Master regarded the one suppressed. "A being cultivated to Taiyi's height can basically no longer be killed or erased — only suppressed. I have never found a place in this cosmos matching Taiyi's geographical map.

Perhaps Taiyi really is suppressed in this void filth-yard, treated by the Ultimate Void as waste to be disposed of.

" Shen Mu looked down and saw the starry sky appear.

The door plank had, without his notice, left that void realm, and the first Myriad Heaven entered his view. "From the way Taiyi's Dao Tree always manifests above the World Tree of the Ancestral Court, Taiyi is indeed still alive.

His Dao Tree appears every night, dripping Dao dew so that we can repair the Great Black Mountain. This shows he can still control his own Dao Tree.

" Shen Mu turned back to look at the void realm, somewhat hesitant: "Of course, the one suppressed there might not be Taiyi.

It might be some other demon of the utmost terror! A demon the Miluo Palace cannot kill!

" He frowned tightly. Whether or not Taiyi was suppressed there, he was determined to return to that abandoned place in the Ultimate Void and uncover its mysteries.

"Only not now. I must return to Jingping as soon as possible and release the Jingping folk of the Ancestral Court! " He steadied himself, his gaze falling upon the nearby Myriad Heavens.

That heaven was the Star Source Heaven, located at the northern frontier of the Northern Heaven. It was exceedingly far from both the Yuan Realm and the Ancestral Court, but quite close to the North Pole Heaven. Yet what surprised Shen Mu was that this heaven actually had a spirit-energy transit bridge! The light of that transit bridge formed a funnel shape, connecting to some unknown heaven.

In such a remote place at the cosmos's frontier, and so near the North Pole Heaven — a heaven that did not submit to the Heavenly Court — the Heavenly Court would never build a spirit-energy transit bridge. That there was one here meant it certainly was not connected to the Heavenly Court!

Shen Mu's eyes lit up. He immediately steered the door plank out of the Ultimate Void and flew toward the Star Source Heaven. "At my speed, reaching the Yuan Realm would take five or six months, during which the people in the Gourd Heaven would likely die in great numbers.

But if I reach the Star Source Heaven, I can resupply temporarily and sustain them longer. " Two days later, he arrived at the Star Source Heaven and found it somewhat more prosperous than he had imagined — not the bitter frozen land he had expected. Most who settled here were god clans possessing Black Tortoise bloodlines.

Compared to the bloodlines of the Soaring Serpent and the Dark Turtle, theirs was far inferior — likely a low-tier god clan formed from the fusion of multiple bloodlines. Besides the god clans, he also saw human clans, demon clans, and other acquired races!

The human clans had built many supervisory foundries here, hiring the god clans of the Star Source Heaven to work, smelting divine ores and forging divine weapons.

Commerce and trade were bustling. Shen Mu stopped a man to ask questions. The man clearly did not recognize Shen Mu and said: "The transit bridge?

Of course it was built by Jingping!

Six years ago, the Imperial Teacher of Jingping ordered connections to other heavens, and the Director of Servants then ordered Jingping's envoys to make their way here through other heavens, signing a trade and commerce pact with the ruler of the Star Source Heaven.

Then they helped the Star Source Heaven build a spirit-energy transit bridge and established many branch supervisory foundries of Jingping here. " "Si Yunxiang still handles matters briskly! " Shen Mu smiled and thought: "Jingping has built spirit-energy transit bridges even to the remotest Star Source Heaven, which means most other heavens have trade connections too.

This is good.

This transit bridge leads to Jingping, so I can send the people in the Gourd Heaven away in batches to Jingping. " He breathed a long sigh of relief. Stepping directly into the spirit-energy transit bridge would surely trigger a violent spirit-energy transit, possibly exceeding the altar's limits and causing it to collapse — but sending them in batches over one or two months would be nothing to worry about.

The man, seeing him standing on a door plank with no legs, found him truly pitiable and rewarded him with two Dafeng coins, saying: "Do not go begging everywhere and shame us Jingping folk. Take this money, go to the spirit-energy transit bridge, buy a ticket to Jingping, and return to Jingping early.

" With that, he shook his head and left. Shen Mu raised an eyebrow, caught between laughter and tears.

He pocketed the two Dafeng coins, brought out the Dutian Demon King and Lan Yutian, and said: "The spirit-energy transit bridge leads to Jingping, and it charges a fee.

This is either Si Yunxiang's doing or Xue Huer's. Getting everyone across will cost a great deal of money.

" The Dutian Demon King said in shock: "A bridge built by Jingping, and it still charges? " "The rules cannot be changed. " Shen Mu said, embarrassed: "I have no money on me. . .

" Lan Yutian was puzzled: "Brother, you are the former Imperial Teacher of Jingping.

. . " "It is precisely because I am the former Imperial Teacher of Jingping that I have no money. My money was all managed by Ling'er.

Ever since I married, Ling'er has ignored me and handed the money to my wife. . .

" Shen Mu sighed: "And I never carry money on me. Getting all of you to Jingping is a huge sum. Only those two Dafeng coins the merchant just gave me can buy one ticket to Jingping. I will return to Jingping first and have that girl Si Yunxiang bring money over.

You wait here a few days. " Dutian and Lan Yutian had no choice but to remain. Shen Mu "stood" on the door plank, drifted toward the spirit-energy transit bridge, and handed the two Dafeng coins to the god-demon of the Star Source Heaven guarding the bridge. The god-demon glanced at him and handed one Dafeng coin back.

Shen Mu was puzzled.

The god-demon said: "The ruler has decreed: the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled pay half price.

You need only pay half.

"
