Chapter 508: Low Profile No More

"Master, this is the total income from this auction."

Lu Chengfeng presented the divine stones.

"System, exchange."

[Congratulations, host…]

As the System’s voice sounded, Ye Xu’s account balance transformed into two billion ninety million Hongmeng points.

"Deduct the loan principal and interest."

Ding!

The next moment, the number on the account fluctuated, becoming one billion fifty million something Hongmeng points.

Six days of interest amounted to tens of millions of Hongmeng points.

"The System really has a black heart."

Ye Xu felt deeply satisfied. "Fortunately, I earned quite a lot too."

"Lu Chengfeng."

"At your service."

Ye Xu looked at him with approval, saying, "This time, you have rendered a great service. I will bestow upon you a supreme Dao Sovereign technique. What do you think?"

The Primordial Longevity Technique was only a second-rate Dao Sovereign technique.

The Dutian Dao Xuanjing cultivated by Feng Wuji was a supreme Dao Sovereign technique, capable of forging one hundred and eight Great Dao Worlds in one go, achieving perfection.

"Chengfeng kowtows in gratitude to the Master!"

Lu Chengfeng was overcome with excitement, his expression shifting several times, before adding, "Master, there is one more matter, I beg for your favor."

"You wish to resurrect Lu Xuanyin?"

Ye Xu guessed Lu Chengfeng’s desire.

Lu Chengfeng nodded. "I beg the Master to help me resurrect my Ancestor. As for that technique, Master, you may save it for the next time I render meritorious service to the Heaven’s Secret Pavilion."

"Hahaha…"

Ye Xu laughed heartily. "When I speak, it is the law, unretractable! Resurrecting Lu Xuanyin is but a small effort. That technique, I will still bestow upon you."

"System, for a supreme Dao Sovereign technique that allows one to cultivate all the way to the Sovereign of the World realm, how many Hongmeng points are required?"

Ding!

[The Primordial Qi Taishi Canon, sixty million Hongmeng points!]

"Exchange."

Immediately, a supreme mystical technique materialized in Ye Xu’s mind. He pointed a finger at Lu Chengfeng, and the entire content of the Primordial Qi Taishi Canon surged into Lu Chengfeng’s primordial spirit.

This mystical technique, centered around the Taishi Dao, unified ten thousand methods, profoundly mysterious.

"Many thanks, Master!" Lu Chengfeng exclaimed with excitement.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was filled with envy.

Hmm!

Ye Xu activated his magic power, and that long-stemmed pipe flew out of Lu Chengfeng’s Purple Palace. Employing the Easy Dao with a wisp of Lu Xuanyin’s remnant soul as the foundation, he effortlessly rebuilt a physical body for her.

The resurrected Lu Xuanyin looked dazed and confused. Gazing at Lu Chengfeng, her mouth hung slightly open as she struggled to utter his name.

"Chengfeng…"

"Ancestor!" Lu Chengfeng cried tears of overwhelming joy. Staring intently at Lu Xuanyin, he said, "Ancestor, you are finally revived! Chengfeng kowtows to thank the Master."

Lu Chengfeng dropped to his knees, pulling Lu Xuanyin down with him. "The Master’s immense kindness and grace shall never be forgotten for all eternity by Chengfeng."

"His soul is fractured, and much of his memory is lost. He requires a period of quiet recuperation," Ye Xu stated. "Furthermore, his cultivation has vanished entirely. He must start anew."

"I will keep him in the Heaven’s Secret Pavilion so he can rest and recover undisturbed."

Ye Xu waved his sleeve, and Lu Xuanyin vanished, transported to a separate Time and Space.

"Understood," Lu Chengfeng voiced no objection whatsoever.

"Old Yi, Formless Demon Lord, Su Mu…" Ye Xu’s gaze swept across them. "The establishment of Heaven’s Machine Auction House is also due to your contributions."

"State what you desire. Feel free to ask."

Yi Tianxing spoke, "Master, I already possess the Heavenly Human All-Encompassing Scripture, and within the Heaven’s Secret Pavilion, I live carefree and without worry. For now, I have no requests."

"Ahem…"

The Formless Demon Lord coughed once. "Master, my current level of cultivation is truly too weak. Might I ask the Master to assist me in reaching the World Master Realm?"

"I second that motion."

Su Mu chimed in with a grin.

"You lot are truly lazy," Ye Xu remarked.

He entered the system store. Not long after, he retrieved several Dao fruits, handing them respectively to Su Mu, the Formless Demon Lord, Yue Lingxi, and Ye Xian’er.

"These four Dao fruits are sufficient to cultivate you all to the World Master Realm."

"However, to advance further requires tempering one’s foundation. Your foundations are currently too weak, making it difficult to reach the peak realm."

"No problem."

The Formless Demon Lord waved it off indifferently. "As long as I can live forever without dying, I ask for nothing more."

Ye Xu rolled his eyes.

These guys were worse than lazy bums compared to him.

At least he knew how to earn money and strive for invincibility.

Whoosh!

With a thought, he sent all four into individual Time and Spaces to meditate in seclusion, refining the Dao fruit.

"Old Yi, I will keep your portion for now. If you recall what you want later, feel free to tell me at any time," Ye Xu said with a light smile.

"Yes."

Yi Tianxing gave a nod of acknowledgment.

"Currently, I still have nine hundred ninety million Hongmeng points. I could use this momentum to break through directly to the Nine Tribulations Dao Lord." Ye Xu’s eyes flickered thoughtfully, calculating that advancing from Four Tribulations Dao Lord to Nine Tribulations Dao Lord would require roughly one hundred fifty million Hongmeng points.

Today, he could advance directly to the Nine Tribulations Dao Lord.

"System, instantly assist me in ascending to the realm of the Nine Tribulations Dao Lord."

Ding!

[Congratulations, host. You have spent 150 million Hongmeng points to advance to the Nine Tribulations Dao Lord.]

Boom!

Terrifying power surged into Ye Xu’s physical body, scattering to every corner of his bones and limbs. His cultivation rapidly soared at a pace visible to the naked eye.

Five Tribulations Dao Lord…

Six Tribulations Dao Lord…

Seven Tribulations Dao Lord…

…

Half an hour later, he had already advanced to the Nine Tribulations Dao Lord.

The invincible domain also expanded to six million four hundred thousand miles.

"Alas, to advance to the Dao Sovereign realm requires one billion Hongmeng points, and that is still far from sufficient right now," Ye Xu sighed softly.

The Hongmeng points needed to advance to the Dao Sovereign realm were simply an astronomical figure.

Even for a One Tribulation Dao Sovereign, it demanded one billion Hongmeng points!

Currently, he only had eight hundred and forty million Hongmeng points, still short of a portion.

However, Ye Xu was not anxious.

"Chengfeng, Old Yi, I intend to create a Dao Lord ranking that will include all the top Dao Lords of the Hongmeng Dao Realm, encompassing the nine young masters. Do either of you have differing ideas about this?"

Ye Xu gazed toward the two men.

Yi Tianxing deeply pondered for a long while but could only shake his head.

He was not suited to matters of business.

Lu Chengfeng said, "Master, to establish the Dao Lord ranking requires sufficient influence. Otherwise, no one will trust the authenticity of such a list."

"Although Heaven’s Secret Pavilion possesses ample influence, it only radiates about ten surrounding realms. The Hongmeng Dao Realm boasts 9,999 realms. Achieving full coverage across the Hongmeng Dao Realm remains a vast distance away."

"The Nine Young Masters, though Dao Lords themselves, are universally renowned across the land. Within the Hongmeng Dao Realm, everyone knows their names and achievements."

"Hastily incorporating them into the ranking could provoke widespread discontent among the world’s populace."

"That makes sense."

Ye Xu’s brows slightly furrowed.

Did he not grasp this principle himself?

If not for the concern over insufficient influence, Ye Xu would have long completed the Dao Lord ranking.

"Master, Heaven’s Secret Pavilion is far too low-profile."

Lu Chengfeng abruptly remarked.

"It truly is excessively low-key," Ye Xu responded, a faint smile curling at his lips. "Though I am invincible in this world, I find myself constantly doubted by countless individuals."

In his heart, a plan gradually formed.

"From today onwards, Heaven’s Secret Pavilion will no longer be low-profile."

Boom! As soon as the words were spoken.

Heaven’s Secret Pavilion shook violently, infinite divine patterns encircled the heavens and earth, the vast sound of the Dao echoed endlessly, resounding across millions of miles, and the entire pavilion slowly rose.

Brilliant immortal light flowed, Heaven’s Secret Pavilion illuminated the world like a divine sun.

"Look quickly, it’s Heaven’s Secret Pavilion!" The cultivators of Canglan City were shaken.

Countless people turned their gazes toward it.

Heaven’s Secret Pavilion continued to rise into the air.

Streams of auspicious aura and colorful lights descended, within which were contained marvelous divine patterns, as well as great Dao phenomena, resonating with heaven and earth, permeating an ancient and profound aura.

"Is the master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion ascending?" Countless cultivators gazed at the celestial phenomena with awe.

"What is the master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion doing now?" Xuan Du Ancient Immortal felt his scalp go numb, that ancient and boundless aura made him unable to resist the urge to kneel and worship.

Boom! After an unknown period, Heaven’s Secret Pavilion came to a complete stop high in the sky, the great Dao manifested phenomena, the sound of the Dao was like bells, countless cultivators listened as if intoxicated, gaining insights.

From all immortal domains, streams of Divine Sense surged forth, continuously communicating, seemingly astonished by the changes in Heaven’s Secret Pavilion.

Lu Chengfeng was extremely shocked.

"Is this not high-profile enough?" Ye Xu said with a laugh.

"Enough," Yi Tianxing murmured.

Ye Xu intentionally displayed his power, causing Heaven’s Secret Pavilion to hang above the world, declaring to all people the superiority of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion, resonating with the myriad ways of heaven and earth, and deliberately startling those hidden old monsters.

Since the influence wasn’t great enough, it was time to be a bit more high-profile.

Let those Heavenly Sovereigns and Grand Dao Sovereigns witness what true high-profiling is!

"This action of yours, Master, is truly… hard to put into words," Yi Tianxing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

At least.

The persona of a hidden expert was essentially ruined.

Ye Xu didn’t mind it.

He originally didn’t want to be a hidden expert.

He merely wanted to make money.
