Chapter 1655 Starry Sky Token Upgraded to the Highest Level

The first items to be mobilized were the strange bone fragments and metal obtained from the Black Abyss Rift Nest.

They have withstood countless calamities without being worn down, containing ancient defensive and powerful principles.

At this moment, enveloped by the Primordial Chaos Sea, these fragments were slowly refined, extracting the purest essence of the immortal laws, which was then integrated into the dark purple chaotic main stem representing the body of the true demon.

hum!

The demonic runes on the main body of the True Demon seemed to have become more profound and complex, and after absorbing the profound Daoist charm from the ancient times, they appeared even more unfathomable.

Next came the few high-level sclerotia obtained from the split nest.

These advanced sclerotia contain an incomparably pure source of life and the power of creation, which are greedily absorbed by the side branches.

On the side branches, light flows and life flourishes, with the three main trunks complementing each other.

The massive resources from the Dark Abyss began to be refined in an orderly manner.

High-level spiritual objects such as Netherworld Marrow Crystal, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Eating Mushroom, Abyss Cold Iron, Thousand Illusion Jellyfish Essence, and Earth Vein Blood Marrow were absorbed by the trunk, side branches, and leaves of the Void Tree.

At the same time, the massive amount of True Spirit Blood and Inheritance Fragments obtained from the Myriad Spirit Pool were also being digested and absorbed at an accelerated pace.

Some of the undigested true spirit inheritances were absorbed and integrated by the thirteen side branches in different categories, and his illusory Dao Tree authority became more luxuriant at a visible speed.

Although no new side branches were added, each existing side branch became thicker, more radiant, and its Daoist charm more profound and vast.

Time flew by during my deep seclusion.

The entire illusory tree, in terms of its solidity and the richness of its Daoist aura, has reached the limit of the half-step Mahayana stage, and has even faintly touched the barrier that transforms the illusory into the real!

He slowly opened his eyes.

The three main trunks stood side by side, their phantoms flashing by. Thirteen kinds of Dao principles flowed and died within them, along with countless leaves carrying the true spirit's inheritance.

It seems that we are only one final step away from the true Mahayana state.

Find a suitable source of the Dao and a rare object, and use it to transform the power of the Dao's branches and trunk from the void into reality, thus condensing his own Mahayana Dao fruit!

During this seclusion, he absorbed most of the enormous gains from the Central Ancestral Vein and the Immortal Gourd Realm, making his foundation stronger than ever before.

Now, with this near-perfect illusory Great Dao Tree, he truly has the confidence to contend even with mid-stage Mahayana cultivators!

Now only the three most precious things remain to be refined: Immortal Gold, the Ancestral Root of All Spirits, and the Unified Essence of All Laws.

“A rare treasure from the source of the Dao…” Zhang Xuan murmured to himself, his gaze piercing through the quiet room and looking into the endless void.

With a thought, the Starry Sky Token that had been with him for so long appeared in his palm.

After a thousand years of operation, especially by integrating the resources of the Immortal Gourd Realm and the Shattered Heavenly City, and by continuously trading high-grade pills through the Zhang Family Spirit Pill Pavilion, the transaction amount accumulated by this Starry Sky Token has reached an astronomical figure—a top-grade spirit stone at the level of one billion yuan!

"It's time." Zhang Xuan took a deep breath and immersed his consciousness into the Starry Sky Token.

"Om-!"

The Starry Sky Order suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly brilliant light.

The material of the token itself seems to be undergoing some kind of sublimation, becoming more ancient and profound.

The star patterns that appeared on the Starry Sky Token seemed to come alive, slowly flowing and emitting a mysterious Daoist charm that transcends the heavens.

A massive flow of information, far larger than during the previous upgrade, surged into Zhang Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

Transaction tax reduced to 30%!

The authority of the Starry Sky Token has been further enhanced, allowing the soul to enter the core area of ​​the Myriad Realms Gateway!

"Finally, I've waited until this day."

A glint flashed in Zhang Xuan's eyes, and his divine sense sank into the token without hesitation.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

He appeared directly on a brightly lit avenue.

The sky is a river of light formed by endless law runes, and beneath your feet lies the myriad realms of spiritual jade that can nourish the soul.

The floating palaces and pavilions on both sides were magnificent and their precious light soared into the sky. The figures coming and going had the lowest aura of late-stage Integration Realm cultivators, and Mahayana cultivators could also be seen from time to time.

The dark gold seven-patterned star token in his hand naturally emitted a radiant glow, allowing him to move freely in this core area.

The items traded here have long since transcended the realm of ordinary spirit stones and materials; they are now mostly barter items, involving fragments of laws and primordial energy.

Just then, a voice filled with astonishment and disbelief rang out.

"This aura... it's you?! You actually activated that shop and even came to the core area?"

Before he finished speaking, Wanbao Zhenren, dressed in the Myriad Stars Robe, appeared in front of Zhang Xuan.

His gaze was like lightning as he stared at Zhang Xuan, especially at the Starry Sky Token in his hand that emitted the Daoist aura of seven celestial patterns, and the half-step Mahayana spiritual pressure emanating from him that even he, a Mahayana cultivator, felt faintly.

"Half-step Mahayana! Seven-patterned Starry Sky Token!" Master Wanbao's face was filled with shock, and his voice rose several decibels. "Boy, no... Fellow Daoist Zhang, it's only been a little over two thousand years! You actually went from the Nascent Soul stage, skipping through the Void Refinement and Body Integration stages, and directly reached the half-step Mahayana stage. Moreover... your spiritual pressure and foundation are unbelievably profound. Even ordinary early-stage Mahayana cultivators probably couldn't do anything to you! And this transaction amount... what exactly did you do?"

Zhang Xuan looked at this elder of the Myriad Elephants Merchant Alliance, his former trading partner, whose aura was now even more profound, and calmly cupped his hands in greeting: "Senior Wanbao, how have you been? You've made some progress, but it's nothing to mention."

"Not worth mentioning?" Master Wanbao was practically fuming. He circled Zhang Xuan halfway around, clicking his tongue in amazement. "You call this 'some progress'? I've lived for millions of years and haven't seen many monsters like you! Back then, I thought I got a good deal by exchanging that shop you didn't need for the fragment in your hand, but now it seems I misjudged you. Your luck and ability far exceed my expectations!"

His expression turned serious, and he said earnestly, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, with your current cultivation and potential, you are fully qualified to become a core member of the Myriad Elephant Merchant Alliance. As an elder, I sincerely invite you to join the Myriad Elephant Merchant Alliance. I can directly grant you the position of a powerful elder! You can allocate the alliance's resources at will, the transaction tax will be reduced to 20%, and you will have priority access to internal information. What do you say?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head slightly without any hesitation: "I appreciate your kindness, senior, but I am used to being alone and do not like to be constrained. I am afraid I will not be able to fulfill the duties of an elder."

Master Wanbao seemed to have anticipated his refusal and immediately replied, "Then let's have a Guest Elder! The status is prestigious, and the treatment is the same as that of an Elder. All you need to do is lend a hand once when the Merchant Alliance faces a life-or-death crisis. You will be free from worldly affairs on ordinary days!"

Zhang Xuan shook his head again, his attitude resolute.

He was unwilling to get too involved with any force, lest he create unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that he was unmoved by reason, Master Wanbao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, knowing that he would have to resort to his ultimate move.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly set up a soundproof barrier, lowering his voice to a whisper, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you are now only one step away from true Mahayana – the Dao Source Treasure?"

Zhang Xuan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and his aura froze.

This is exactly what he is looking for!
