Chapter 349 New Guest Meng Qi
"Wang Lin thanks the Pavilion Master for his kindness!" The white-robed monk kowtowed respectfully, his forehead touching the ground, his tone full of reverence.
He then left behind the treasures from the transaction, and with a flicker of his figure, disappeared into the Zhutian Pavilion.
"Tsk, so it's just someone with the same name." Xu Qing shook his head helplessly, staring at the empty doorway. "I thought I was really going to run into that pockmarked guy."
The number of invitations accumulated over 100,000 years is now almost gone.
Despite sending over a million invitations, they failed to attract even a handful of guests with sufficiently strong worldviews.
Extraordinary powers exist in a few worlds, and cultivation systems capable of destroying mortal realms are extremely rare. As for those with the upper limit of destroying planets, they are one in ten thousand.
Not to mention, most of the invited guests came from a world that Xu Qing had never even heard of.
These worlds with low power levels are no longer of any value to him.
With his current strength, if he were to descend upon the Demonless Universe without suppressing his power, his mere aura and physical form would be enough to cause the collapse of the rules and the overturning of the universe.
"But it's still a pleasant thing." Xu Qing rubbed the Heavenly Decree with his fingertips, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. "I still have 10,000 invitation opportunities left. I'll see if I can run into some familiar characters."
With a thought, a nearly transparent thin line extended from within the Pavilion of All Heavens, piercing the dazzling sea of light ahead like a gossamer thread, and vanished in an instant into endless splendor.
A moment later, the Heavenly Decree, which was suspended in Xu Qing's mind, suddenly trembled slightly, and streams of information flooded into his sea of consciousness like a tide:
[Guest: Emperor Meng Qi]
[World of Origin: The Supreme Being]
[Strength: Peak Seventh Tier (Peak Immortal)]
[Items available for purchase: Celestial Body, Primordial Golden Chapter, Eight-Nine Arcane Arts]
"It wasn't a wasted wait, at least we got a guaranteed customer." The moment Xu Qing saw the customer's information, a smile appeared on his lips, and a knowing glint flashed in his eyes.
Meng Qi thought for a moment and decided to put away the remaining two lotus seeds no matter what. These were valuable for reshaping the Dharma body and could be used even when projection and blood rebirth failed.
Then, he explored his surroundings, searching for any clues left by Gu Xiaosang.
No sooner had Zhao Qian left than the ancient well shone brightly, unleashing a powerful aura, like a nebula, that descended upon the Jade Purity Palace. "A legendary powerhouse?"
Meng Qi had never experienced what the legends were like at their peak, but this aura completely transcended the realm of celestial beings.
A fundamental transcendence!
The timing was so perfect, as if it had been waiting for them to finish talking.
With a single step, Meng Qi stood beside the chaotic blue lotus.
Even within the Jade Void Palace, the power to communicate with all realms is greatly limited. The aura of the legendary great beings is like a supercluster of galaxies, vast and boundless, making one feel extremely insignificant.
Meng Qi stood beside the Chaos Green Lotus, his head shrouded in the Supreme Primordial Auspicious Clouds, which did not radiate light but only surrounded the Primordial Daoist, who was transformed from a true spirit. He calmly and peacefully felt the terrifying power of the legendary great being.
Without awakened peerless divine weapons and magical treasures, and without a proper formation, no matter how many celestial beings there are, it is difficult to shake the legend; a large number of people does not necessarily mean overwhelming power.
Just as he was immersed in this crushing power originating from the level of life itself, a pale golden panel suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness without warning, with words as clear as if they were engraved:
[Zhutian Pavilion invites you to become a customer. Would you like to enter and browse the products to purchase your desired item?]
"What the hell? The Zhutian Pavilion?" Meng Qi was shocked, a look of surprise and wariness flashing in his eyes.
These sudden and unusual phenomena were definitely not part of the original layout of Jade Void Palace, nor did they resemble the methods of the legendary powerful beings.
Is it a conspiracy by the Demon Buddha? Or a test from other powerful beings on the other side?
With a powerful figure rumored to be eyeing the situation, and then the mysterious Zhutian Pavilion appearing, the situation instantly became unpredictable.
"Let's see what kind of background they have first." Meng Qi's mind raced, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes. "This is the Daoist temple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the residence of the strongest person below the Dao Fruit level. I don't believe that it can harm me out of thin air. I want to see what tricks this Zhutian Pavilion is up to."
With a thought, he clicked on the panel before the figure entered the room.
In an instant, the terrifying oppressive feeling that surpassed even the star clusters around them suddenly dissipated, the world spun before their eyes, and the surrounding scenery changed instantly. In the blink of an eye, they found themselves in an ancient pavilion.
"What?!" Meng Qi's face showed shock, his eyes filled with disbelief. "I was inside the Jade Void Palace, and I was actually taken away directly?!"
That's the Jade Void Palace, the Daoist temple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, a top-tier safe place in all realms.
What is the origin of this Zhutian Pavilion, that it possesses such extraordinary abilities?
The next moment, a stream of information flooded into his mind.
"Zhutian Pavilion, a transaction?" Meng Qi understood all the information in an instant.
"Could this be a place created by some being from beyond the shore? Or perhaps—the Dao Fruit?"
Since this is a place of trade, there should be no immediate danger. At this moment, as a celestial being facing a legendary powerhouse, he already had no chance of winning. If this Pavilion of All Heavens can truly provide assistance, it might be a glimmer of hope.
Before he could even process what was happening, Meng Qi's gaze was drawn to the display shelves in the attic, and his pupils instantly contracted in shock. "Holy crap, a Heaven-Shrouding Imperial Weapon?!"
Before him, dozens of imperial weapons floated silently on the display shelf, each radiating a terrifying pressure that could crush even celestial immortals, several times more chilling than the aura of the legendary great power he had just witnessed.
"There really is a world that can cover the sky?" Meng Qi's heart was filled with shock.
When he first entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he had hoped to strengthen his Great Perfection Holy Body, but all he saw were divine weapons and items at the level of mid-level martial arts heroes.
I never imagined that after leaving the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I would actually see the Imperial Weapon of the Shrouding the Heavens world with my own eyes.
"And how can there be so many? Did they loot the entire world of Shrouding the Heavens?" Meng Qi complained, somewhat speechless.
He knew that even a great emperor might not be able to forge a single imperial weapon, yet dozens of them were displayed in this pavilion, casually arranged like ordinary goods.
His gaze swept over the area, and Meng Qi's shock deepened: "There's even the King of Divine Artifacts from the Yangshen Universe?"
The Yangshen World was the direction of enhancement he had dreamed of when he first entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation World, and he never expected to see it here.
But when he saw the number of the King of Divine Artifacts, he was dumbfounded: "How can there be so many Kings of Divine Artifacts?"
And each one of them is even stronger than an Imperial Weapon?!
Looking around, the number of divine artifacts in the pavilion, though not as many as the sands of the Ganges, still numbered in the hundreds of millions. The pressure emanating from each artifact far exceeded the legendary aura felt earlier, so terrifying that it made one's mind tremble.
The sheer awe it evokes is like witnessing the infinite universe explode before your very eyes in an instant.
"Is the Yangshen Universe really that powerful?" Meng Qi was like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, feeling his eyes were being opened.
He had previously entered a world similar to the Yang God, and even achieved the status of a Seven Tribulations Creator within it. However, the Yang God in that world was merely a Dharma Body in the Real World.
It is estimated that the king of divine artifacts among them is merely a Dharma Body Divine Weapon, far inferior to the power of these divine artifact kings before us.
It should be noted that in the real world today, there are only a dozen or so Dharma Body level experts and dozens of Dharma Body level divine weapons, while in this Heavenly Pavilion, there are so many legendary or even higher level divine weapons that they are countless.
"Damn it, the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation has harmed me greatly; he's a real piracy seller," Meng Qi lamented.
"If I had these genuine enhancements, I would have already become a fully-fledged holy body, wielding the king of divine artifacts, and sweeping across the heavens. Why would I need to become a bald monk?"
Just as he was cursing the Demon Buddha in his heart, Meng Qi suddenly remembered that there was another legend outside.
According to the rules of the Zhutian Pavilion, even if a month has passed inside, the outside world is still just entering time.
How should we resolve this legend sent by the Golden Mother?
A calm, unchanging voice suddenly rang out from the attic.
"Make a deal, offer your price to the Heavenly Pavilion, and everything will be resolved."
Meng Qi was startled and turned his head sharply to look.
On the high hall, a man in white sat casually, his robes fluttering lightly, showing no trace of worldly affairs.
He seemed to be surrounded by a faint aura of immortality, and his gaze calmly looked down at Meng Qi. He did not deliberately release any pressure, but Meng Qi was instantly struck as if by lightning, and his mind trembled violently.
The next second, Meng Qi's pupils shrank, and the scene before his eyes suddenly changed!
The once ancient and solemn pavilions of the heavens vanished in a crash, replaced by an endless cosmic sea.
Billions of stars appeared and disappeared before his eyes, countless chaotic currents surged and rushed, and the endless universe exploded and expanded in an instant, splitting and growing endlessly.
In a fleeting moment, in a single instant, in a glimpse of breathtaking beauty, Meng Qi seemed to see the boundless world existing only within the pores of that white-clad figure, endlessly repeating itself.
How many universes are there?
Meng Qi thought of a description he had once seen.
If someone were to crush all the countless universes into tiny dust particles, and each dust particle corresponded to a universe.
Then crush the same amount of the universe into dust, and put all the accumulated dust into your left hand.
Then, holding these specks of dust, he walked eastward, releasing one speck of dust only after passing through countless billions of universes.
Continue walking eastward until all the dust has been released, then south, west, north, and the four directions...
It moves and releases dust in the same way in all six directions, up and down.
Finally, all the places in the ten directions where dust falls, and all the places where no dust falls, are integrated and gathered together, and this is the vastness of the universe.
Meng Qi felt as insignificant as dust, his soul seemingly cast into an infinite dimensional vortex, instantly lost in that vast and boundless cosmic landscape.
"What... what level is this?!"
He was in a state of utter confusion, his mind completely blank.
He had faced the aura of legendary powerful beings, a qualitative leap beyond even celestial beings, but compared to the white-robed man before him, fireflies and the bright moon could not even begin to describe it.
He once obtained the Seal of Creation and witnessed the scene of the Primordial Celestial Venerable creating the world and the multiverse.
At this moment, the other party was simply sitting quietly in the high hall, yet he felt a scene even more magnificent than the creation of the entire multiverse.
"Could this be the legendary Dao Fruit Realm?"
After an unknown amount of time, Meng Qi finally broke free from that disoriented state, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and the back of his Taoist robe soaked through.
He stared in shock at the white-clad man on the high platform.
But at this moment, the scene in the pavilion had been restored, and the man in white seemed unremarkable.
But the image of that boundless universe he had just seen was deeply imprinted in his soul, and he could not shake it off.
"You—you are the master of the Pavilion of All Heavens?" Meng Qi's voice was hoarse, and he subconsciously bowed, his tone full of disbelief and awe.
"My name is Xu Qing. You can call me Pavilion Master Xu," the white-robed man on the stage said with a smile.
Meng Qi composed himself, suppressing the shock he felt at Xu Qing's cultivation level, and said urgently yet respectfully, "Sect Master Xu, I have encountered a legendary powerhouse whose strength far surpasses that of a Celestial Immortal. I am no match for him at the moment. I hope that you will help me resolve this calamity."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing knew the visitor was Sha Wujing. Having made up his mind, he then smiled and said, "Why should I personally handle such a trivial matter?"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and a stream of light shot out from the depths of the pavilion, transforming into a door.
"Summon one person, and they can help you defeat that legendary powerhouse."
As the portal shimmered with light and shadow, a figure slowly emerged, clad in battle armor, his aura as deep and unfathomable as a bottomless abyss.
"Who is this?"
Upon seeing this, Meng Qi's pupils suddenly contracted.
The aura of the newcomer, though not as vast as the legends suggested, far surpassed his own.
Could he also be one of the legendary powerful beings?
"My surname is Luo and my given name is Feng. You can just call me Luo Feng," the armored man said calmly.
"Luo—Luo Feng?!" Upon hearing this name, Meng Qi's eyes widened immediately.
Isn't this a character from an online novel?
Although he had already seen the items from Shrouding the Heavens and Yang Shen, he was still quite surprised to see such a protagonist appear before him.
"But since it's Mr. Luo, things are easier to handle."
Meng Qi relaxed. In his memory, Luo Feng's ending was that he became an Eternal True God, with overwhelming combat power. Dealing with a legendary powerhouse would definitely be no problem for him.
Before he could rejoice for long, Xu Qing's voice poured cold water on him: "Getting him to take action isn't difficult; all you need is a divine weapon from the Other Shore as payment."
"What?!" Meng Qi's smile froze instantly, and his expression changed drastically. "The Divine Weapon of the Other Shore? Pavilion Master's asking price is far too harsh."
The Other Shore Divine Weapon is a supreme treasure created by powerful beings from the Other Shore. Its rarity is such that there are only a handful in the entire multiverse. Although he has experienced many extraordinary encounters, he only possesses the Overlord Absolute Blade, the Other Shore Divine Weapon.
But then he thought again, if he couldn't defeat that legendary powerful figure, he wouldn't even be able to save his life, let alone the divine weapon from the other shore. So he could only grit his teeth and agree, "Alright, I promise. Once it's done, I will definitely present you with a divine weapon from the other shore!"
Xu Qing nodded, signaling Luo Feng to step forward.
Meng Qi asked with a smile, "Mr. Luo Feng? I wonder what realm you have reached now? Eternal True God? Chaos Ruler?"
He was filled with anticipation.
Luo Feng spoke calmly, his tone undisturbed: "I recently broke through to the next level and am now the master of the universe."
"What?!" Meng Qi's joy vanished instantly, replaced by deep disappointment and astonishment. "Universe Lord level? This—how can this be?"
The legendary being is probably an eternal god or even stronger.
How could a cosmic master possibly contend with this?
Meng Qi was initially shocked by the goods he had just seen, and thought that Luo Feng must be an eternal true god, or even a chaotic ruler or god king.
Who would have thought that he was just the Lord of the Universe?
Meng Qi immediately turned to Xu Qing, his tone urgent: "Sect Master Xu, this is probably not appropriate! How can the Lord of the Universe be a match for a legendary powerhouse? Please, Sect Master, find a stronger one to replace him."
"Do you look down on me?" As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Feng's face darkened, his eyes sharp as knives as he stared directly at Meng Qi.
He had just been summoned by the Ancestor, but he didn't know what had happened, how this little immortal had managed to summon the Ancestor, or what realm the legendary figure that the Qingyang Ancestor wanted him to deal with was.
But if the progenitor wanted him to deal with it, it must mean he was confident in him.
And this insignificant immortal actually looked down on him.
It's just a small immortality.
Not to mention that after Luo Feng broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, he was already in a high position and ruled over hundreds of billions of living beings. Even his descendants could hardly see him.
He was summoned by the Pavilion Master, and the man in front of him said these words, which not only showed disrespect to him, but also to the Ancestor!
How dare this tiny, immortal-level being offend the progenitor like this?
Meng Qi felt a sense of foreboding as Luo Feng stared at him.
"I really need to work on my emotional intelligence —"
The instant Luo Feng glared at him, he felt as if he would have been dead just now if he hadn't been in the Zhutian Pavilion.
He then remembered that the Lord of the Universe could kill a King-level Immortal with a single glance.
At this moment, Meng Qi couldn't help but secretly feel miserable.
He had already agreed to Xu Qing's price. If he insisted on changing the person, he might offend Luo Feng, and Xu Qing might not agree either.
Moreover, upon further reflection, he realized that Luo Feng's selection by Xu Qing might be due to his possession of a powerful mechanical treasure.
Even if they are truly outmatched and show signs of defeat.
He can also ask Xu Qing for help again at critical moments.
Left with no other choice, Meng Qi suppressed his doubts and bowed to Luo Feng, saying, "Sir, you misunderstand. I don't mean to look down on you, but this matter concerns life and death, so I was being a bit overly cautious. Since you are confident, then I will trouble you!"
