The Huobei Flame Immortal Emperor eventually met his true love.
For the sake of this love, he betrayed the world but would not betray her.
In the end, both of them died at the hands of the unforgiving and unyielding Shuinan Immortal Emperor who could not tolerate betrayal.
And this true love was the reincarnated Xiao Ran.
Those plot details were not worth thinking about anymore.
In short, Nine Treasures Pavilion had a powerful background and would be safe until Xiao Shou and the others ascended to the Immortal Realm.
They would not bother to scheme over such insignificant gains.
As for Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall as the name suggested, it was related to the Ten Thousand Wisdom World.
According to the worldbuilding description in the book, the cultivation world consisted of three thousand worlds.
Among these three thousand worlds, some were large and some were small.
The smaller ones were mortal worlds without spiritual energy.
The middle-level ones were like the Ten Thousand Wisdom World, where cultivation was possible, but one could only reach the Deity Transformation stage before having to ascend to the Spirit Realm in order to advance further.
In reality, among the three thousand worlds, there were also more than ninety upper-tier worlds.
In those worlds, cultivators could directly cultivate all the way up to ascension into the Immortal Realm.
The so-called Spirit Realm was the largest among these upper-tier worlds.
According to the laws of heaven and earth, the cultivators that the Ten Thousand Wisdom World could no longer contain would be repelled by the plane itself and drawn into the Spirit Realm by its laws.
This was what was called ascension.
Within this largest realm, the Spirit Realm, there existed an organization called the Alliance of Myriad Celestia.
They operated shops across various worlds and served as information gathering hubs.
Each world's liaison point used the name of that world as its storefront sign.
These liaison points included shops, families, sects, and so on, each with different characteristics.
The Ten Thousand Wisdom World also had a trading establishment comparable to the Nine Treasures Pavilion known as the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall.
The Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall, like the Nine Treasures Pavilion, was spread throughout the entire Ten Thousand Wisdom World.
Its business scope was extremely wide, covering cultivation techniques, pills, artifacts, talismans, formations, and more.
From time to time, it even held large-scale auctions.
The purpose of the Alliance of Myriad Celestia behind the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall was originally to manage the various worlds, prevent spiritually rich worlds from degenerating into mortal worlds, prevent demon realms from invading and plundering, and repair damage to worlds caused by both natural and man-made factors.
After Xiao Ran and the others ascended to the Spirit Realm, they had once gone to the Alliance of Myriad Celestia to accept a mission and then descending into a mortal world to eliminate demonic creatures.
By luck, they even obtained the essence blood of one of the Five Sacred Beasts, the Fire Qilin.
This Alliance of Myriad Celestia in the Spirit Realm was founded by one of the Five Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm, the Martial Profound Immortal Emperor.
Its original intention was to protect the foundation of the Immortal Realm and the three thousand worlds.
With such an enormous background, they naturally would not bother to covet something as insignificant as him.
The two places recommended by Fu Young were indeed very good.
Both had powerful backgrounds and were safe.
Xiao Shou chose the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall for two reasons.
One was because of the entanglement between the Shuinan Immortal Emperor and Xiao Ran and he did not want to be unintentionally or intentionally drawn into that karma.
The other was that the more he spent in the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall, the greater his influence and connections would become later in the Spirit Realm and Immortal Realm.
Thinking about the plot descriptions related to the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall in the book, Xiao Shou felt somewhat pleased.
However, everything inside was expensive, extremely expensive.
The better the item, the more expensive it was.
Fortunately, his fusion ability was not afraid of spending spirit stones at all.
Even so, preparations still had to be made.
Thinking this, Xiao Shou silently felt a bit relieved and took out a fourth-grade Concealment Spirit Talisman and activated it.
The fourth-grade Concealment Spirit Talisman could hide one's spiritual energy and cultivation.
Only cultivators at the Nascent Soul late stage or above could see through it.
This talisman was created by Xiao Shou using his Absolute Fusion ability, fusing many first-grade Concealment Talismans into a fourth-grade one.
Just this single talisman had consumed a massive amount of first-grade talismans.
It could last for three days and three nights, unless someone with specialized eye techniques or innate special vision stared at him for a long time.
The increased consumption of spiritual energy within the talisman would shorten its duration even further.
Even so, Xiao Shou still did not feel reassured.
He took out another disguise pill and swallowed it.
In an instant, his appearance and body shape changed again.
Only after that did he and his disciple Fu Young board a spirit beast carriage and quickly arrive in front of the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall.
After getting off the carriage, Xiao Shou saw that in Azure Origin City, the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall and the Nine Treasures Pavilion were roughly the same scale as the marketplace of the Heavenly Dao Sect and they were even built directly across from each other.
The building that was occupied a vast area is about five stories tall. It's resplendent and luxurious, which make it giving off an air of immense wealth everywhere.
Ordinary people without confidence would not even dare to step inside.
Most of those entering and leaving were Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators.
Those of higher realms were not something he could easily discern.
Xiao Shou took a deep breath.
Thinking of what many novels mentioned, if you did not want others to see through you, you should act expressionless.
