The Immortal's Wine Store

After ten years of seclusion inside the cultivation hall, everyone's strength increased by leaps and bounds. The fastest among them was still Jiu Shen who had a Deity Physique! At this moment, he had already reached the peak stage of the Supreme God Realm! Just one step away from reaching the Heavenly God Realm!

"Peak stage of the Supreme God Realm..." Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he slowly opened his eyes. He clenched his fists, causing a crisp cracking sound to come from his muscles. He then tested his spiritual power and the strength of his anma. After a quick check, he let out a smile of satisfaction. "All three are already at the peak stage of the Supreme God Realm. If this speed continues, I would recover my past strength in fifty more years. My sudden increase in power wouldn't be a problem for me because of my experience, but to the others..."

Jiu Shen stared at everyone inside the cultivation. All of them were his people and they will fight with him against Lao Gou and the Celestial Paragon Tower!

"Everyone's cultivation has increased drastically, but they still lacked battle experience of high caliber." Jiu Shen frowned as he muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he thought about the Spirit World. The Spirit World's growth was proportionate to his own strength. That means, the savage beasts living in the Spirit World also experienced a sharp increase in power!

With those thoughts in his mind, Jiu Shen communicated with the System to open the Spirit World.

Om!

A large wooden door appeared in front of him.

As the Lord of the Spirit World, he could observe the movements of the creatures living in it. When he willed his thoughts to check the strongest living creatures, he noticed some savage beasts had already reached the Heavenly God Realm!

"One, two,..., seven. Seven Heavenly God Realm savage beasts. Not bad! This place is the perfect training ground for my Heavenly Sword Tower! Once everyone wakes up, I'll take them inside the Spirit World to train them further!" Jiu Shen's eyes gleamed.

If news about their shocking cultivation speed spreads, everyone in the Primordial God Realm would surely come knocking on their doorsteps and interrogate them with drastic measures! The process of cultivation was exceptionally difficult and the higher one's cultivation, the slower their progress would be. However, Jiu Shen has the cultivation hall! They didn't need a long time to bitterly train themselves!

"Valir, it has been a while since we last met! Haha! You seem to be excited this time!" A three-meter tall giant arrived inside the Vice Sect Master's private hall. He had a human-like facial feature, but his looks slightly leaned on the fierce side. On his forehead was a purple gem that emitted a dull glow.

This towering figure of a man was the Sect Master of the Celestial Paragon Tower, Telu!

"Sect Master! You're finally here! This is great! Hahah!" Valir abruptly stood up from his seat and greeted the man.

"You're even more excited than me about my return. Valir, tell me. What made you this excited?" Telu's eyes narrowed as he glanced at the old man. Normally, this old Vice Sect Master was very irritable and he rarely shows enthusiasm about something, so it was a bit surprising to see him act like this.

Valir smiled and pulled Telu to sit beside him. "Sect Master, you've been away for a very long time, so you haven't kept in touch with the Celestial Paragon Tower for many years. Ten years ago, the Dark Devil Race spotted the remnants of the God Sword Region in the desert region! Furthermore, they also discovered Jian Wang in that place!"

Telu who was listening halfheartedly suddenly jolted in shock when he heard the name. "What did you say?! Jian Wang?! He actually came out of his mountain?!"

Valir nodded and continued. "That's right! According to Berith, Jian Wang owns a store in Hard Rock City, a minor city in the desert region..."

Valir recounted every information he had gathered for the past ten years and told Telu everything.

When Valir finished his story, Telu's eyes flashed with an eager look. "It seems like you've been quite busy for the past ten years, old man! You've done great this time. Have you contacted father about this?"

"Yes, Sect Master! I've already contacted Celestial Emperor Lao Gou about this matter. It was also him who tasked me to send our men to monitor Jian Wang's movements."

"What else did he say?" Telu asked while looking at the old man.

Valir shook his head helplessly as he answered. "Celestial Emperor Lao Gou seems to be uninterested in Jian Wang. Other than observing the man and his wine store, he didn't give me another mission."

"I see. That's good then! Alright. Tomorrow, we'll go to Hard Rock City and visit Sword God Jian Wang! I want to see what that man has been up to all this time..." Telu said as he patted Valir's shoulder.

Hearing that, Valir's eyes shone with excitement. It has finally come! The day that he had been waiting for has finally arrived! He had already broken a few dozen communication crystals because of his eagerness to visit the dragon building. From the vivid descriptions of his men, he could already imagine the level of wine the store has to offer! Just the thought of it made him rub his palms in anticipation.

"Oh, by the way, how's your mission this time, Sect Master Telu? Did you get the Undying Holy Crystal? That thing is quite useful. Using that item, we can nurture ten new Heavenly God Realm experts for the golden tower!" Valir stared at the towering Telu. He wondered if the Sect Master has gotten his hands on that miraculous item.

Telu's expression turned cold as he shook his head. "The enemy was too vicious. When he was about to be defeated, he consumed the Undying Holy Crystal and detonated his dantian! I was severely injured because of that and it took me more than five years to recuperate. I only got a bunch of other resources from them."

Valir could only sigh in regret when he heard his words.
