Monarch of Time

One after the other, the runes that were engraved on the walls of the room started to glow with a brilliant white light, before a terrifying power enveloped the entire room in the next moment.

At the same time, just as Liu Mei, Xingyi, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian placed their hands on the stone tablet in front of them, the tablet itself started to tremble before a stream of information appeared in everyone's minds.

'Saint low-grade martial skill: Glacial sword. A Saint low-grade martial skill suitable for cultivators who train in the Dao of Ice. It allows a person to conjure a massive sword of ice and use it to attack their opponents from a distance.''

Moments after this martial skill had appeared in his mind, Shun Long suddenly felt another stream of information coming from the stone tablet in front of him, before the following cultivation technique itself appeared directly into his spiritual sea

''Saint low-grade cultivation technique: Volcanic Palace. A Saint low-grade cultivation technique suitable for cultivators who train in the Dao of Fire. The hotter the environment around the user, the faster their cultivation speed will become.''

Shun Long barely had enough time to read the description of this Saint low-grade cultivation technique and the martial skill that had appeared in his mind, before the stone tablet in front of him that had just stopped trembling suddenly began to tremble with even more intensity than before, causing the entire 'Hall of Trials' to shake along with it.

At this moment, Shun Long could sense that the energy inside the 5000 beast cores that he had spread around the stone tablet were being sapped at an alarming rate, almost as if the magic beast cores from the 'Demon-fanged mice' were being used to fuel the runes that were engraved on the walls of the room.

Closing his eyes, Shun Long allowed the familiar feeling of spatial fluctuations to envelop his body, before his figure disappeared from the 'Hall of Trials' shortly afterwards.

A moment later, Shun Long opened his eyes, as he found himself in the center of an enormous plaza that was covered in countless mysterious runes and formations.

Even someone who wasn't well-versed in formations would be able to easily tell, that the formations around this plaza looked quite similar to the formations that were engraved on the walls back in the 'Hall of Trials'.

However, it was obvious that Shun Long and the others were no longer in the 'Hall of Trials', as they had been teleported somewhere else.

Bai Longtian and the others all stared at their surroundings curiously, before their gazes landed on a small group of 3 people who were calmly standing just a few hundred meters away from them, right at the edge of this gigantic plaza.

''Eh? What's this? Newcomers?''

The middle-aged man who seemed to be leading this group suddenly said in a surprised voice, before his figure disappeared on the spot, heading straight towards Shun Long and his group.

The young man and the young woman who were standing on his left and right respectively turned to look at each other for a few seconds, before they followed after the middle-aged man as well.

In just a few seconds, the middle-aged man appeared in front of Shun Long and his group and after he stared at the 5 people in front of him in silence, his gaze eventually landing on Liu Mei before he introduced himself with a calm smile on his face

''Haha, you lot must be newcomers huh? My name is Li Tian and I am a member of the 'White tiger chamber of commerce'. May I ask where you all are from?''

Naturally, since Liu Mei had the highest cultivation base, the middle-aged man assumed that she was the leader of this group in front of him so he spoke directly to her.

''The 'White tiger chamber of commerce?''  Sensing the aura of an early rank 7 Dao King coming from this middle-aged man in front of them, Jiang Chen and the others were momentarily stunned, while even Shun Long was confused by this as he stared at Li Tian seriously.

Naturally, the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' was a superpower even if one took into consideration the entire central region, but it still didn't explain why this Li Tian would approach them so casually, especially while they were still in a place like the 'City of Immortals'.

As if he had guessed what Shun Long and the others were thinking however, Li Tian smiled and waved his hands in a dismissive manner before he said calmly

''There is no need to worry, I am only here to do business with you. I am not here to attack you so there is no need to worry about any of that.''

''Business?'' Liu Mei asked as she looked at Li Tian with narrowed eyes, but she didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move against him.

Even though Li Tian was an early rank 7 Dao King, while the 2 people who were following behind him were at the early rank 5 and peak of rank 5 in the Dao King realm respectively, their strength wasn't enough to pose a threat to Shun Long and his group.

Even without Little Silver, Liu Mei was confident in her ability to wipe out Li Tian's group all by herself.

At the same time, Li Tian could also sense how calm the 5 people in front of him seemed to be, even though they were facing a late-stage Dao King like him, which surprised him quite a bit.

After all, the strongest person among this group seemed to be Liu Mei who was just a peak rank 6 Dao King, while the others were all middle-stage Dao Kings while one of them was even a peak rank 3 Dao King as well.

After a moment of silence however, Li Tian simply shook his head before he continued speaking with that same smile on his face

''Indeed, I am here to do business so allow me to explain. As I said, I am a member of the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' and what I am selling is information.

Since you all just arrived here from the 'Hall of Trials' from the 'Demon-fanged city' I assume that you aren't very familiar with this place.

Unlike the 'Demon-fanged city', this city that we are in right now doesn't have a 'Hall of Trials', so if you want to complete any of the trials here, you will find out that things aren't as easy.

Additionally, the dangers in this place are enough to kill even the strongest rank 9 Dao Kings so you have to be extremely careful with every step you take... unless you want to lose your life that is.

This is why I, Li Tian, am selling information from our 'White tiger chamber of commerce'. As long as you are willing to pay enough spirit stones, I will naturally tell you everything I know.''

Li Tian had a smile on his face as he said these words, not worried in the slightest that Liu Mei would reject his offer.

Indeed, just like he had just said, he was there to sell information, and for those groups that had just entered the 'City of Immortals', the thing that they lacked the most was precisely such information.

After all, Shun Long and his group were already behind everyone else in terms of progress, and the 'City of Immortals' had a fixed amount of time that it would remain open.

If they wasted time searching for the trials by themselves, they would only waste even more time, especially since, as Li Tian had just said, this city wasn't like the 'Demon-fanged city' and didn't have a 'Hall of Trials' to make things easier.

Nodding his head, Shun Long looked at Li Tian and asked calmly

''What type of information do you have?''

Li Tian's lips curved upwards when he heard Shun Long's question, before he waved his hand, taking out more than a dozen memory recording jades and placing them all on the ground in front of him, before he said in a warm manner

''Naturally, our 'White tiger chamber of commerce' has information about every single powerful Dao King who has entered the 'City of Immortals', as well as the location of 2 of the trials that have already been discovered. One of these trials doesn't even pose any danger at all, making it safe even for early-stage Dao Kings to participate.

As for the prices, our 'White tiger chamber of commerce' has set them at 10.000 high-grade spirit stones for each trial, while the information for the high-level Dao Kings present is priced at 200.000 high-grade spirit stones.''
