Chapter 1656 Benefits of Joining the Myriad Elephant Merchant Alliance

Seeing his reaction, Master Wanbao felt reassured and slowly said, "Three hundred years from now, my Wanxiang Merchant Alliance will hold the Nine Divine Realms Auction. This event is only open to Mahayana cultivators and holders of the Seven-Patterned Starry Sky Token. At that time, several extremely rare Dao Source Treasures will appear as the grand finale!"

He stared intently into Zhang Xuan's eyes and presented him with a condition that the other party could not refuse: "According to the highest regulations of the Merchant Alliance, all elders of our Merchant Alliance—whether senior or guest elder—have the priority right to know and communicate about all auction items, especially Dao Origin Treasures, before the auction officially begins!"

"If you join the Myriad Elephant Merchant Alliance, you can complete the transaction before the auction begins, avoiding countless competitors and ensuring that you acquire this treasure that is crucial to your path to enlightenment! This is your fastest and most reliable way to obtain rare Dao Source artifacts!"

Zhang Xuan remained silent, his gaze lowered, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the seven cold and mysterious celestial patterns.

Joining the Wanxiang Business Alliance will indeed bring some unknown complications.

But compared to obtaining the Dao Source Treasure and laying the foundation for the supreme Mahayana Dao, all of this seems insignificant.

For him, the value of that priority communication right was immeasurable, even in terms of spirit stones.

After a long while, he slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with determination, and looked at Master Wanbao, asking in a deep voice, "What oath must this guest elder take?"

Master Wanbao's face instantly lit up with a radiant smile, and he clapped his hands and laughed heartily: "Excellent! Brilliant! All you need to do is swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, promising to lend a helping hand to the Myriad Elephants Merchant Alliance when it faces annihilation, provided it does not jeopardize your own foundation. Furthermore, you will complete one Heavenly Rank Merchant Alliance mission for the Myriad Elephants Merchant Alliance every five hundred years, or one Earthly Rank Merchant Alliance mission every hundred years. That's all!"

“Okay.” Zhang Xuan nodded, his words concise and to the point.

"Haha! Excellent!" Master Wanbao was overjoyed. "From this moment on, you are a guest elder of my Myriad Elephant Merchant Alliance! I will send you your identity mark, details of your authority, and information related to the secret meeting later via the Starry Sky Token! I wish Elder Zhang a speedy discovery of the Dao Source Treasure and that you will ascend to the Great Ascension!"

Zhang Xuan returned the greeting with a cupped hand, his mind already connected with the Starry Sky Token that had transmitted vast information.

Driven by the sliver of enlightenment that leads to the Mahayana path, the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance was entered into without hesitation.

He also possesses a Dao Source artifact of the main authority level—the All-Laws-to-One Flowing Essence, which contains the chaotic and mixed Daoist rhyme of the All-Laws-to-One Source, and is of extremely high status.

After obtaining information about Dao Source Treasures, it is believed that if one encounters a knowledgeable person, there should not be much of a problem in trading for side-branch level Dao Source Treasures such as Causality, Time, Space, Gravity, and Primordial Qi Sea.

With his formal acceptance of becoming a guest elder of the Myriad Elephants Merchant Alliance and his oath to Heaven, the Starry Sky Token underwent a new change.

The Daoist aura emanating from the seven profound celestial patterns on the token became even more deep and vast.

Master Wanbao chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, let me take you to see the Floating Divine City first."

What is this "Floating Divine City"?

"Hehe... The core of the thoroughfare of all worlds."

"Isn't this the core of the thoroughfare connecting all realms?"

"This place cannot be considered the true core area. Only the core members of my Wanxiang Business Alliance can enter, and they can enter in person."

"Can one enter with their physical body?" Zhang Xuan was startled. "How can one enter?"

"It's simple. Just inject your divine sense into the Starry Sky Token, and you can arrive instantly."

Zhang Xuan immediately channeled his divine sense into the Starry Sky Commander, causing seven profound celestial patterns to circulate.

"Om-"

The moment his consciousness entered, he found himself in a magnificent and glorious city!

"This is the true core of the Great Crossroads of All Realms..."

This time, not only his soul but also his entire physical body entered this place.

The ground beneath their feet was not solid, but a path of light formed from pure energy of the laws, winding and spiraling towards all parts of the divine city.

Looking up, what you see is not the sky, but a vast expanse of stars.

That was not an illusion, but a true reflection of the myriad worlds.

The immense power of stars and the Daoist principles of the realm permeated all directions.

Within this floating divine city, palaces and pavilions of distinct styles stand suspended in the air.

Some are entirely constructed of amethyst, shrouded in an incomparably noble imperial purple aura, with plaques inscribed with the words "Ziwei Pavilion".

Some are shaped like a spoon made up of seven sharp swords, exuding an incomparably sharp and killing star power, which is the Big Dipper Palace.

In addition, there is the Great Thousand Tower, which seems to contain the cycle of birth and death of three thousand worlds.

The Hongmeng Palace is shrouded in primordial chaos, depicting the creation of the world.

Purple Star Divine Realm, Big Dipper Divine Realm, Great Thousand Divine Realm, Primordial Chaos Divine Realm, Boundless Divine Realm...

Multiple divine realms have manifested here!

These palaces are clearly the strongholds and representatives of the various divine realms in the core area of ​​the Myriad Elephant Merchant Alliance!

The figure moving back and forth between the light path and the various palaces made Zhang Xuan secretly startled.

The vast majority of these cultivators wore a Starry Sky Token with an ancient design and a unique dragon aura!

This is a symbol of identity awarded by the Myriad Elephants Business Alliance to its core members, especially Mahayana cultivators and a very small number of top Integration cultivators.

Those who wear this token possess an aura as deep as the sea, surrounded by Dao principles, and their spiritual pressure, though restrained, still gives people a strong sense of oppression.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what is currently active in this core area!

The fact that the Myriad Elephants Merchant Alliance can bring together these top experts from different divine realms and maintain basic order and trading rules shows that its foundation and methods are simply unfathomable!

However, what surprised Zhang Xuan even more was not these powerful figures from the Divine Realm.

In some relatively secluded areas of the divine city, he also saw some even more ancient beings.

Some cultivators exude a Daoist aura that has an antiquated feel that is out of step with the current Dao.

They were surrounded by faint, blurry phantom images of ancient gods.

These are the ancient human races from the Nine Great Divine Realms, still protected by the ancient gods of the Great Dao!

He even saw a high-level Xuan Turtle the size of a mountain, its shell naturally engraved with the Heluo Diagram, exuding an aura of vicissitudes of time!

"The ancient human race and high-level demonic beasts protected by the ancient gods of the Great Dao..."

These are people who are rarely seen in normal times, and they have actually joined the Wanxiang Business Alliance!

Zhang Xuan's appearance also attracted some attention.

After all, those who can come to this core area must at least be holders of high-level Starry Sky Tokens.

However, he was a complete stranger who was only half a step into Mahayana, yet he was wearing a special seven-patterned token that seemed to have higher authority, which naturally aroused some curiosity and investigation.

"Oh? A new face? Half-step Mahayana, yet he can enjoy the privileges of an elder? Wanbao, what kind of freak have you recruited this time?" A lazy and magnetic voice came from the side.

Zhang Xuan turned his head and saw a woman dressed in gorgeous palace attire, but with a temperament as cold and aloof as ten thousand years of ice, looking at him with great interest.

Wearing a Starry Sky Token at her waist, radiating a chilling aura, its power clearly indicated that it was at the early stage of the Mahayana realm.

Moreover, it is by no means an ordinary initial stage; it carries a profound power of ice-based laws and authority.
