Chapter 614: Great Harvest, Wang Yu Shows His Magic

As evening descended,

as the treasure exchange meet was nearing its end, the familiar Soul Transformation Venerables were already discussing their next gathering, and Wang Yu began his own actions.

His targets were those ranked from second to twentieth.

He naturally wouldn't seek out Zhao Mo, who was ranked first; after all, Zhao Mo would ascend in just a few years anyway, so there was no need for him to take Wang Yu's World-Opening Divine Boat.

For the first crossing, it was more suitable to limit the number of passengers to around 10 to 15. After the recent treasure exchange meet, Wang Yu had a very clear understanding of each person's financial situation.

This provided him with an excellent reference.

“Brother, would you like to take a boat?”

The first person he approached was a human cultivator ranked seventh, Fang Heng, who had just broken through to the sixth layer of Soul Transformation and also had a powerful background.

“Ancestor Wei? What do you mean…?”

Wang Yu continued via spiritual transmission.

“Fellow Daoist Fang, though you are a prodigy of the Big Dipper Lineage, it will still be another 603 years before it's your turn to ascend. Who knows what unforeseen circumstances might arise in the meantime? I, Wei, am but a humble man, yet I wish to invite you to cross the Cosmic Sea together.”

The implication of 'clandestine passage' was quite clear here.

Fang Heng understood the hint but wasn't going to trust him immediately. “What is this boat you speak of, Fellow Daoist Wei?”

“The World-Opening Divine Boat.”

“No need to rush your answer. After the exchange meet concludes, come to this hall for a discussion.”

With that, he calmly departed.

Wang Yu continued to seek out wealthy passengers he had identified, while Fang Heng watched him smoothly engage with everyone, sending private messages via spiritual transmission, and fell into deep thought.

‘Wei Wuxian has a World-Opening Divine Boat?’

One must know, this item is a top-tier trans-realm treasure used by the Immortal Palace's War Department specifically for opening new realms. While its safety isn't quite on par with the Ascension Channel, it's only slightly less secure.

Its safety for crossing the Cosmic Sea was already as high as eighty percent.

It was truly tempting.

Wei Wuxian continued to use that same approach: first setting a hook, then inviting people to discuss further.

As for those who would refuse, it was almost impossible.

Firstly, the discussion location was within the Minor Polar Palace itself, which ensured the authenticity of the matter. Secondly, the story of Wei Wuxian had spread throughout much of the Mountain and Sea Realm; everyone knew he had been away for a millennium and had only returned in recent years.

During this blank period, it was reasonable for him to have obtained any kind of treasure.

Thirdly, the financial resources he displayed at the treasure exchange meet were already more abundant than those of an ordinary late-stage Soul Transformation cultivator, further indicating his continuous fortunate encounters. It was not impossible for him to truly possess a World-Opening Divine Boat.

Fourthly, this group of people knew they couldn't wait for the Ascension Channel. These three reasons compelled them to believe him, enough to gather them together first.

Therefore, no one refused.

Even Lan Feng, ranked second, and the Eight-Armed Vajra Bai Chengfeng, ranked third, readily agreed. Bai Chengfeng, in particular, whose dharma name was 'Heavenly Dragon,' seemed to sense that Wang Yu cultivated Buddhist scriptures and was very enthusiastic towards him.

Speaking of which, Wang Yu indeed had a strong affinity with Buddhism.

Many body-refining treasures were special Buddhist versions. Unfortunately, Buddhism in the Ice Prison Realm had long since vanished, so he couldn't use that as a topic for conversation.

Thus, as the treasure exchange meet officially concluded,

at the Heartless Hall,

thirteen cultivators gradually took their seats. Most had reached the late stage of Soul Transformation, with a few others at the sixth layer like Fang Heng. There were no early-stage cultivators at all.

Cultivation in the Soul Transformation stage becomes increasingly difficult the further one progresses.

The amount of magic power required to accumulate is simply astronomical. Furthermore, the Mountain and Sea Realm is overpopulated with cultivators and has scarce resources; as soon as a rare spirit herb suitable for late-stage Soul Transformation cultivators appears, it is immediately snatched up.

For a minor thousand-world, having over seven hundred Soul Transformation Venerables is simply too exaggerated; many probably struggle to even meet their daily cultivation needs.

The thirteen cultivators all looked towards Wang Yu, clearly waiting for him, the 'Cosmic Sea Ferryman,' to explain how this business would operate.

Wang Yu showed no stage fright.

He raised his right hand, and a small boat appeared within a spatial bubble. Facing the eager gazes of the crowd, Wang Yu nodded and said:

“—Indeed!

“This is the World-Opening Divine Boat, an authentic product of the Immortal Palace's War Department. You needn't worry about its efficacy.”

Fang Heng's heart pounded faster and faster; he almost couldn't resist leaping up. Heaven help him, a proud prodigy of the Big Dipper Lineage, he was stuck due to an Ascension Channel.

However, those ahead of him were all more formidable, superior to him in background, talent, and strength. Since the queue order couldn't be changed, he had long harbored thoughts of 'clandestine passage'.

But the methods he had found previously were far less safe than the World-Opening Divine Boat. Because of this predicament, even his daily cultivation felt like encountering a major obstacle, with negligible progress.

The moment hope appeared, he was the first to respond.

His eyes gleaming, he asked, “Brother Wei, what price must one pay to board your boat?”

The others also looked at Wang Yu, all understanding that there was no free lunch in this world. Gathering them in this Heartless Hall and displaying such a supreme treasure clearly meant he also sought benefits.

“An excellent question,”

Wang Yu replied with a cheerful smile.

“When I, Wei, fortuitously obtained this World-Opening Divine Boat back then, it was already on the verge of collapse. I spent a great deal to repair fifty percent of it, but there are still numerous cracks in its core keel.

“I gathered you all because I wish for you to provide precious materials for the boat's repair as your fare. Once the Divine Boat is fully restored, we will immediately set off across the Cosmic Sea, heading for the True Spirit Realm!”

‘To completely repair the World-Opening Divine Boat?’

Questions simultaneously arose in everyone's minds.

Lan Feng, ranked second and only 103 years away from his turn for the Ascension Channel, spoke up: “I have half a root of Void Purple Wood, a specialty of the Purple Wood Realm. Can it serve as a fare?”

Wang Yu's eyes lit up: “Brother Lan Feng, you are indeed straightforward. Of course it can.”

Bai Chengfeng also said: “I, this poor monk, also have a treasure called the Spatial Stabilization Pearl. Can it serve as a fare?”

Wang Yu: “—Yes!”

With the two strongest and most influential individuals choosing to board, the others were naturally even happier.

“I have ten catties of Sumeru Sand.”

“Acceptable.”

“A pair of Qiankun Jade.”

“Acceptable.”

“Three hundred Spatial Torrents.”

“Acceptable.”

“A fifth-tier Ruin Beast Core.”

“Acceptable!!!”

Wang Yu collected treasures until his hands were sore.

It was fortunate that the Minor Polar Palace served as a backdrop; otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. He genuinely intended to be that Cosmic Sea Ferryman; otherwise, scamming this group would have certainly made him rich.

The materials for repairing the World-Opening Divine Boat were already sufficient, but Wang Yu still collected many rare spatial attribute treasures. Such rare attributes consistently commanded the highest prices among items of the same tier.

Whether he could use them or not, he could hold onto them for now.

A moment later,

after a quick mental tally, Wang Yu, who had made a huge profit, cupped his hands and said:

“Many thanks for the trust of my fellow cultivators this time. Next, I, Wei, will return to Yunzhou for secluded cultivation to repair the Divine Boat. In as short as three years, or as long as ten, I will certainly emerge successfully from seclusion.

“Please keep these Mysterious Spirit Jade Talismans safe. When we depart, I, Wei, will notify you all via the mother talisman. The gathering point will also be within the Minor Polar Palace, as we will need to use the Ascension Channel to anchor the location of the True Spirit Realm at that time.”

“Of course.”

“Brother Wei, your fortune is astonishing. We await your good news.”

“Hahahaha, excellent.”

Everyone responded in turn, though what they truly thought in their hearts remained unclear. However, the destination this time was the True Spirit Realm, while Bai Chengfeng, according to Buddhist rules, was supposed to go to the Lion Camel Realm.

This wasn't an issue; it would be relatively easy to transfer to other major realms once inside the True Spirit Realm, which was certainly better than sitting idly in this lower realm for centuries.

On the surface, things went extremely smoothly; not even a single contract was drawn up, which was somewhat intriguing. Furthermore, not a single person showed any covetousness towards his World-Opening Divine Boat.

As Wang Yu mused, he sensed that after leaving the Minor Polar Palace territory,

there might be a tough fight ahead, a test as well as a trial. The Immortal Palace had set the rule against fighting within the Minor Polar Palace, and no one dared to defy it.

But outside, it might be different.

Coincidentally, Wang Yu also wanted to display his strength, to show others that he was not to be trifled with, preferably by instantly killing several people with overwhelming force.

After all, given the scale of his passenger list, it was only a matter of time before the World-Opening Divine Boat was exposed. Whether he could defend it would depend on his capabilities.

If any passenger made a move, he wouldn't mind giving them a sound beating and then thoroughly looting them. Those with influential backgrounds he wouldn't kill, but those without would all be refined into Blood God Pills to aid his own cultivation.

If they were to involve others, he would feign no connection on the surface.

Wang Yu could then threaten them verbally, extract more benefits, and still send them out of the Mountain and Sea Realm as promised, treating it as compensation. It was unlikely they would sacrifice their fare.

Having thought through the methods for dealing with different situations,

Wang Yu was the last to exit the Heartless Hall. He then went to find Li Chunyi, took the three rare treasures he had acquired for him at the exchange meet, and, as promised, performed the 'Boundless Mortal World Secret Art' once.

However, he secretly modified the Cycle of Reincarnation Illusion, making Li Chunyi experience all the hardships of the mortal world, causing him to weep profusely and constantly shake his Heartless State of mind.

He collected the materials he needed, and the Demonic Map could also have a good feast.

Another win!

Afterward, he left the palace.

Outside the Great Snow Mountain lay a vast plain, warm as spring, known as Deer Cry Plain!

At that moment,

as the aurora, Wang Yu's transformed body, swept through, the surrounding void suddenly solidified, forming six glass-like transparent crystals that instantly created a cage prohibiting spatial movement.

Six figures emerged from within, each cloaked in an 'Spirit Concealing Gauze Robe,' appearing very professional.

Wang Yu narrowed his eyes.

Four late-stage Soul Transformation cultivators, two peak mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivators. None of them were the passengers he had just discussed with in the Heartless Hall.

‘They're all shrewd individuals; no one dared to risk it themselves.’

“Wei Wuxian, hand over…”

Wang Yu clearly had no patience for their blabbering. His body instantly split into three and charged forward. This was the true essence of the Way of Spatial Phantoms, a top-tier secret art among the Myriad Void Arts.

“Myriad Void Arts: Nine Tribulations Separation Technique!”

At his current level, he could only split into three, but these were real clones possessing sixty percent of his actual strength, formed by extracting fragments of himself from different spatial layers to create a complete phantom.

Fundamentally, it was still an illusion.

Yet, it could unleash terrifying power.

“—Boom!”

Before they could even comprehend what was happening, a thunderous explosion erupted, shattering the entire spatial blockade. Countless purple-gold fragments scattered in all directions, leaving trails of space-rending marks.

A Soul Transformation cultivator immediately unleashed their Dharma Idol World.

Colossal giants rose from the ground, their ethereal spiritual light illuminating the heavens and earth. Five-element spiritual tides surged forth. It was six against one, and in terms of Soul Transformation Dharma Domains, even with Wang Yu's profound foundation, he couldn't compete with six individuals for control over the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

But… only four Dharma Idol giants stood upright.

When the explosion dust finally dispersed, Wang Yu stood with his right foot on a mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivator whose eyes had turned white, their primordial spirit already extracted and temporarily sealed within the Yama Emperor Sword.

Another was also a mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivator, completely frozen in black solid ice, with only their terrified face showing a glimmer of life.

In a flash of lightning, two people were defeated upon first contact.

The strength Wang Yu displayed was truly beyond standard; no one even saw how he did it. It was just a pity that his Soul-Sealing Pearl had been crushed by Kongkongzi along with his physical body right after he finished refining it,

forcing him to use the Blood Lotus Cauldron to temporarily store the spoils.

“Damn it, this fiend is powerful! Don't hold back!”

The four seemingly solid colossal giants simultaneously reached out to grab him, their massive palms descending from the clouds, covering the heavens and earth. Wang Yu's figure, tiny as an ant, stood tall and unyielding, incredibly defiant.

Just like the Great Sage facing the battle against the Four Heavenly Kings.

“A mere grain of rice dares to shine?”

When he first descended upon the Mountain and Sea Realm, he was hindered by the Scarlet Earth Dao, and Wang Yu hadn't sensed the existence of the Lunar Star. However, given that he could cross realms using the Return Moon Pupil Technique, the Mountain and Sea Realm clearly had a moon.

It was just that this place had numerous powerful cultivators and was directly governed by the Immortal Palace.

It was not ideal for him to perform his moon-related techniques, as it would be too easy to be discovered.

At that moment,

a Pillar of Lunar Light suddenly descended from the sky. Wang Yu's unique Lunar Demonic Dragon Dharma Idol rose from the ground, its colossal form, nearly reaching the heavens, was far more than a thousand zhang tall.

The other four Dharma Idols of the late-stage Soul Transformation cultivators were like children before him. The Yellow Spring Demonic Dragon and the Asura Demonic Dragon flew out together, followed by the classic scene of Dharma Idols clashing.

To call it a 'clash' would be inaccurate.

After all, it was a one-sided crushing defeat. The two demonic dragons dodged the crushing hands, then coiled themselves around two of the Dharma Idols from below, using the 'Dragon Entwinement Technique' to twist them into rod-like shapes.

They collapsed instantly.

Then came the Lunar Demonic Dragon Dharma Idol's follow-up punch.

Arriving later but striking first, it directly smashed the heads of the other two Dharma Idols. Instantly, the heavens and earth changed color, an boundless sea of blood reflected in the sky, and countless blood-formed chains, like the sharpest blades in the world, materialized.

They actually pierced directly through the two Dharma Idols that were recovering their heads. The blood-sea chains, possessing a will of their own, swiftly moved and roamed within the Dharma Idols, searching for the cultivators' true bodies.

This was a new method Wang Yu had comprehended as his Killing Dao Intent continued to mature. Though not a killing blow, it was a rare and effective way to counter Dharma Idol divine abilities.

In the distant void, the passengers who had previously conversed pleasantly with Wang Yu watched this scene unfold in disbelief.

“This… how can he be so powerful!”

“In less than a few breaths since they met, two mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivators were defeated, and four late-stage Soul Transformation cultivators were heavily suppressed. Zhang Hui and those people are not weaklings.”

“With this kind of combat power, I doubt even Brother Lan Feng could easily achieve it.”

“Has he reached the limit of the Soul Transformation stage?”

“This young man can fight against Void Refinement cultivators. Only Zhao Mo might be able to overpower him.”

“What an incredible Wei Wuxian, truly his demonic might covers the world!”

The discussions among these people clearly did not reach the battlefield.

Wang Yu's series of devastating combos, which had left his opponents utterly overwhelmed, was far from over. The deterrent power of the blood-sea chains forced the two individuals to move erratically within their Dharma Idols.

Before they could even think of a solution, their vision went black.

Only a black sword gleam, tearing through heaven and earth, remained.

Sacrificing a million demonic souls,

this was the brand new Myriad People's Decapitation, whose power had surged dozens of times over!

“—Buzz!”
