Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence - Chapter 268:

Chapter 268: Chapter 135: Erasure on the Timeline_1

The emergence of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda attracted countless elite powerhouses, but it also opened up a business opportunity for another group of people amidst this grand event in the Cultivation World.

Long before Shen Yuan and the others arrived, three large markets had been set up around the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, bustling with thousands of cultivators moving amongst them.

Shen Yuan and his group landed on the outskirts of the nearest Lingxu Market, less than fifty miles from the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.

At such a distance, they could still sense the grandeur of the towering Nifty Pagoda that reached into the clouds. Under the weighty Primal Chaos Energy of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, all cultivators felt as insignificant as a speck of dust.

Even the previously confident Wen TianTai couldn’t help but feel daunted at the prospect of ascending this Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda as a mere speck of dust.

As one of the 36 Little Grotto Heavens, the Purple Mysticism Grotto Bright Heavens commanded immense respect in the Primal Chaos Realm.

As disciples of Purple Mysticism Grotto Bright Heavens, clad in purple robes, descended upon the Lingxu Market, disciples from other sects immediately approached, paying them respectful salutes.

“I didn’t expect Brother Wen to be leading the team from Purple Mysticism Grotto Bright Heavens.”

“Cun Miao Sect’s Tu Anlong pays his respects to Senior Brother Wen.”

“Senior Brother Li, I’m Sun Yang from Ming Zhao Mountain. Do you remember me?”

“Brother Wen, it’s been over ten years since we last met. I didn’t expect you to have reached the Spirit Transmutation Stage before me. Truly, you are the pride of Lan Province.”

…

Shen Yuan, who was at the very front of the group, noticed that even the weakest Qi Training Early Stage disciples allied amongst the surrounding disciples showed great arrogance and did not respond to any of their greetings.

As the team leader, Wen TianTai did not spare a glance at these people, he turned to Shen Yuan and kindly said,

“Friend Shen, this is Lingxu Market.”

“This Lingxu Market was established by some Loose Cultivator seniors from Lingxu Immortal City. It serves as a hub for disciples from all sects participating in the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda trials for settlement and trading.”

After a slight pause, Wen TianTai added another sentence.

“The upper limit of Ingenious Tiny World only allows Spirit Refining True Beings to enter. Plus, the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda requires trial participants to be under hundred years old. Therefore, no cultivators beyond the Spirit Refining Stage will be present in the Ingenious Tiny World.”

“All of the Loose Cultivator seniors in Lingxu Immortal City are at the Spirit Refining True Being Stage. Their backing of the Loose Cultivator sacred land, Lingxu Immortal City, means they have extraordinary foundations. We disciples from grotto heavens sacred ground shouldn’t overstep bounds while in Lingxu Market.”

Considering Shen Yuan’s background in the little-known Falling Clouds Sect, Wen TianTai took the time to explain things for him.

Shen Yuan nodded slightly, gaining a deeper understanding of this expedition to the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.

Seeing Wen TianTai’s attitude towards Shen Yuan, disciples of the other sects were taken by surprise.

Although Wen TianTai wasn’t the most outstanding disciple of Purple Mysticism Grotto Bright Heavens, he was among the distinguished elites, and his status as a grotto heavens disciple was naturally unusual.

However, Wen TianTai displayed deference when dealing with Shen Yuan, which left the disciples of other sects puzzled about the identity of the white-robed youth at the front of the group.

“Looking at his attire, he is not a disciple of the Purple Mysticism Grotto Bright Heavens, could he be a disciple of a grotto heavens?”

“Even if he were a disciple from a top-ranked grotto heavens, Wen TianTai wouldn’t treat him so respectfully.”

“Seems like another dark horse is going to emerge in the trials of Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda.”

“Dark horse? Do you really think it’s that easy to become a dark horse?”

“I heard that not only were there gifted individuals from the Great Yin Imperial Family in the other two markets, but also true lineage disciples from Ten Great Cave Heaven Holy Lands, who were determined to distinguish themselves in the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda trials.”

“Although Wen TianTai entered the Spirit Transmutation Stage at a young age, he could barely reach the tenth layer, so how strong could that youth standing next to Wen TianTai be?”

In the midst of such discussions, many people took notice of the white-robed youth standing beside Wen TianTai.

As for the gossip of others, Shen Yuan and Wen TianTai naturally paid it no mind. They had already entered Lingxu Market.

The Ingenious Tiny World was no ordinary place. Those who could step into it were either disciples of renowned sects or independent Loose Cultivators with profound cultivation. These well-resourced cultivators had spending power far beyond that of ordinary cultivators.

Upon stepping into the barrier of Lingxu Market, Shen Yuan became acutely aware of this.

The bustling atmosphere of Lingxu Market was filled with constant trading and auctioning of various magical treasures, talismans, and spirit objects in countless shops and stalls.

On the streets on either side of the market, numerous cultivators displayed their personal collections at makeshift stalls.

The prices at these stalls were noticeably cheaper than in the shops, but the authenticity of the goods was difficult to distinguish. If one lacked discernment and hoped to find a bargain, they would undoubtedly be duped by counterfeits.

Even so, there were still many disciples fresh out of the mountain who were keen on bargain hunting, trying to leverage their knowledge of spells learned in their sects.

In addition, there were many Qi Transformation Stage cultivators with insufficient cultivation who would approach newly arrived cultivators on both sides of the street, promoting their so-called private trading sessions.

According to them, these private trading sessions offered a wealth of rare treasures, and there was even a chance to acquire the Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer Divine Power.
