Chapter 2420: Spiritual Spring at the Dao Venue

Chapter 2420: Chapter 2420: Spiritual Spring at the Dao Venue

They saw that above the dojo, up in the sky, there was actually a gigantic spring mouth floating there.

The diameter of that spring mouth exceeded a hundred zhang.

The power of the Spiritual Spring, visible to the naked eye, surged out from the spring mouth and slowly spilled downward.

Rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power brushed against their faces, making one feel intoxicated within it.

"Heavens, what kind of Immortal scenery is this?"

"This is the first time I’ve ever seen a Spiritual Spring actually appear in midair!"

"What in the world is going on?"

Qi Ling and Hai Long cried out in shock again and again.

At this moment, Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said:

"This is nothing more than an Illusion Array."

"Through the method of Formation, the underground Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power is drawn out and gathered in the sky."

Hearing this, Qi Ling and Hai Long finally came to a sudden realization.

However, even so, they were still endlessly shaken.

After all, such a sight was truly something one might not see in ten thousand years.

At this time, Zong Chao said with a cheerful smile:

"Senior Zhou, please enter the hall."

Zhou Yu nodded and, following Zong Chao, headed toward the grand hall in the distance.

Qi Ling and Hai Long hurriedly followed along.

After passing through a broad avenue, the group arrived before the grand hall.

This grand hall was only about the size of a football field.

Compared to the grand halls of other Races that Zhou Yu had seen, it was not considered very large.

However, it excelled in its exquisite craftsmanship.

Every detail of the grand hall had been carefully polished and carved, and within every single Dao Pattern there were Runes inscribed.

The entire grand hall was tightly connected with the mountain peak and the land through this Rune Power.

It caused the hall to be filled with dense Spiritual Power.

Cultivating here for a single day was comparable to ten days outside.

Only an Integration Realm ancestor could enjoy such treatment; ordinary people would simply have no qualification to enter.

Zong Chao led Zhou Yu around the entire grand hall, giving him a detailed introduction to everything within, especially the array barrier, the Restriction switches, and such.

In the end, he left behind the Token that controlled all the grand hall’s Formation mechanisms.

Only then did he bow and take his leave.

At this moment, only Zhou Yu, Qi Ling, and Hai Long remained inside the grand hall.

Zhou Yu looked at the two who were already unable to hold back their excitement and smiled faintly:

"You two can stay here as well."

"For the next couple of days, I’ll need to go into retreat. If anything urgent comes up, or if someone of Heavenly Venerate Level arrives, then call me."

"Yes, Senior Zhou."

The two answered excitedly.

After that, they couldn’t wait to rush out to properly tour this dojo.

Zhou Yu, meanwhile, went to a room and began his closed-door retreat.

However, he had barely been in retreat for long.

When suddenly, the void before him flickered slightly, and then a streak of Spirit Light appeared.

Zhou Yu’s eyes snapped open, and then he raised his hand and pointed.

That Spirit Light shattered, and immediately afterward, a chuckle sounded out.

"This old man Tie Gu, upon hearing that Daoist Zhou has arrived, specially invites Daoist Zhou to come for a talk."

A short and simple sentence, yet it carried a faint and inexplicable air of authority.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu’s figure still flickered as he left the room.

At this time, Qi Ling and Hai Long were in the grand hall discussing something.

Seeing Zhou Yu appear, the two immediately ran over.

"Senior Zhou."

"What are you two doing?"

Qi Ling spoke at once:

"Senior Zhou, the two of us were discussing going down the mountain to take a look at the situation in the market."

"Senior Zhou, are you going?"

"If you’re going, we can go together."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu said calmly:

"I won’t be going to the market at the foot of the mountain."

"I’m going to pay a visit to Daoist Tie Gu. You two go on your own."

"This is the dojo’s Token; keep it well."

With that, Zhou Yu handed them the Token that controlled the Barrier.

The two instantly said in excitement:

"Many thanks, Senior Zhou!"

Afterward, the two left in high spirits.

Zhou Yu’s figure then flickered as he turned into a streak of Thunder Light, flying toward Tie Gu Ancestor’s dojo.

Before long, Zhou Yu arrived at Tie Gu Ancestor’s dojo.

Tie Gu, knowing that Zhou Yu was coming, personally came out to receive him and led Zhou Yu into the grand hall.

Compared to Zhou Yu’s cold and deserted grand hall, Tie Gu’s hall was bustling with activity.

They saw that in the hall, just the various disciples performing songs and dances numbered over a thousand; aside from them, there were also quite a few guests and close friends.

Tie Gu Ancestor sat at the chief seat, surrounded by more than ten women of varying figures and looks, some voluptuous, some slender.

Tie Gu seemed to greatly enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by women.

Tie Gu raised his cup, constantly clinking glasses with Zhou Yu as they talked about some of their past experiences.

After a round of lively conversation.

The two came to have some understanding of each other’s experiences.

Tie Gu sighed with emotion:

"I did not expect Daoist Zhou, at such a young age, to have not only roamed the Northern Domain of Heavenly Essence Realm, but even gone to the Desolate Origin Realm."

"No wonder Daoist Zhou’s Cultivation has advanced so quickly. It seems you’ve obtained quite a few opportunities!"

"Unlike this old man, who has cultivated his whole life yet has never left the Southern Territory of the Heavenly Essence Realm, let alone crossed worlds."

Zhou Yu smiled lightly.

"Daoist Tie Gu flatters me. As for my going to the Desolate Origin Realm, I was forced into it, in utter embarrassment."

"Being able to return alive was sheer luck."

"Hahaha, Brother Zhou need not be so modest. We who walk the Dao—once we reach such a Realm—should understand that each of us, in the unseen, has our own portion of fate and fortune."

"Though this old man had never met Daoist Zhou before, upon seeing you today, I immediately knew that Daoist Zhou is one blessed with great fortune."

"Among all the Integration Realm cultivator Daoists in the entire Human and Demon Clans, this old man has met them all."

"Yet one who could advance to Integration as swiftly as Daoist Zhou—there is absolutely no second person like you."

"With Daoist Zhou’s fortune, you have quite a hope of advancing to the Mahayana Realm in the future."

Zhou Yu chuckled softly.

"The Mahayana Realm is still far too distant from Zhou."

"Zhou has not thought that far ahead."

After the two exchanged a round of polite remarks, Tie Gu finally got to the main topic.

"Daoist Zhou, you’ve newly stepped into Integration and come to attend this Rare Treasure Conference. Presumably, you must be seeking something."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"Indeed, I do intend to acquire some items at this Rare Treasure Conference to prepare for my subsequent Cultivation."

Tie Gu spoke at once:

"Then this old man has a suggestion. I wonder if Daoist Zhou is willing to hear it?"

Zhou Yu said with a smile:

"Please speak, Brother Tie Gu!"

Tie Gu did not speak immediately, but instead waved his hand toward the lower seats.

The thousands of people in the grand hall promptly withdrew in an orderly fashion.

In the blink of an eye, only Tie Gu and Zhou Yu remained in the entire hall.

Only then did Tie Gu open his mouth and say:

"This is Daoist Zhou’s first time attending the Rare Treasure Conference, so you likely know nothing of the Dark City trading event!"

"Dark City trading event?"

Zhou Yu raised his brows.

This was indeed the first time he’d heard of it.

"I truly do not know of this."

"I ask Brother Tie Gu to enlighten me."

Tie Gu laughed and said:

"For us Integration Realm cultivator folk, ninety-nine percent of the items at the Rare Treasure Conference are useless."

"Even if something truly useful appears at the Rare Treasure Conference, it will surely face competition from dozens of Integration Realm experts of the Human and Demon Clans; obtaining it would be incomparably difficult."

"Furthermore..."
