"That's right, it's the Great Dao Emperor. You wouldn't say there isn't one, would you?"
After a moment of silence, the voice rang out again.
"Yes, of course, but it's not cheap when it comes to the Great Dao Emperor. Are you sure you can afford the price?"
"What's the price range for all the known basic information about the Great Dao Emperors?"
"Do you just need basic information? We have three versions here. The basic version only contains the names and cave dwellings of these emperors. Anyone who is willing to inquire can find out this information. However, our version is more comprehensive, including 80% of the Great Dao Emperors in the myriad realms. The intermediate version includes 90% of the Great Dao Emperors, along with their life stories, specialties, disciples, and interpersonal relationships. The final advanced version includes 99% of the Great Dao Emperors, along with top-secret information that my merchant alliance has gathered."
Yi Shuihan was not surprised that the business alliance had information about the Great Dao Emperor, but he was somewhat surprised that it was divided into 3 versions. He thought to himself, "Is this what businessmen are all about?"
"For the basic version, one hundred Chaos Crystals are enough; for the intermediate version, ten thousand Chaos Crystals are needed; and for the advanced version, one hundred thousand Chaos Crystals are required, and one must also swear an oath to never reveal any information."
Chaos Crystals are essential for the cultivation of Chaos Emperors. One Chaos Crystal is equivalent to a Chaos Emperor meditating and cultivating for a million years.
Yi Shuihan's current net worth is actually only a few hundred Chaos Crystals, which was a reward from the Verus Company a few hundred years ago.
"Can you only afford the basic version? I don't know if that's enough."
The reason Yi Shuihan bought all the information about the Great Dao Emperors without directly naming his master was to mislead the Merchant Alliance.
"If I only need the address of a Great Dao Emperor, what price would I ask for?"
"A mere address does not guarantee that the Great Dao Emperor is there. The price varies depending on the situation, ranging from 1 Chaos Crystal to no more than 100 Chaos Crystals. You can tell me whose address you need."
“I was just asking, and you gave me a basic version.”
Yi Shuihan could sense that when he said those words, the person speaking from beneath the black robe paused for a moment.
A few seconds later, there was movement from under the black robe, and a crystal ball that could be held in one hand was taken out.
Holding the crystal ball was a smooth, jade-like arm, from which a subtle fragrance naturally emanated.
Yi Shuihan reached out to take the crystal ball, but when he touched it and tried to take it away, it didn't budge and didn't let go.
"Chaos Crystal".
The owner of the jade arm reminded her.
Yi Shuihan felt a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and placed the spatial ring containing the Chaos Crystal on the table.
Another jade-like arm emerged from under the black robe and took the ring. A moment later, the hand holding the crystal ball moved forward slightly, indicating that Yi Shuihan should take it.
This time, he finally managed to get his hands on the crystal ball. As soon as he got his hands on it, Yi Shuihan didn't wait and immediately began to read the information inside.
A moment later, Yi Shuihan smiled with relief. He was really afraid that the information he needed wasn't in there, but fortunately, his worries did not come true.
"It seems you have obtained the information you wanted. Do you need to trade any other information? If not, please leave."
Huh! Are you trying to kick me out? I'm a guest, you know. Do you have to be so arrogant? Don't you know the saying "the customer is always right"?
God! Even God seems insignificant here; this one might be even stronger than God!
Suddenly realizing that even God was nothing now, if the real God were here, he would probably receive the same treatment. Yi Shuihan inexplicably wanted to smile.
After taking a deep look at the black robe, Yi Shuihan turned and left the cramped room.
After Yi Shuihan left the cubicle, the black robe that had been tightly covering him was indeed pulled off by a pair of hands, revealing a slightly aged face underneath.
"Yi Shuihan? The company's guardian, who just defeated Verus not long ago, how come he recovered so quickly? And what is his purpose in buying information about the Great Dao Emperor? Strange, strange."
His voice sounded old, completely different from before.
If Yi Shuihan knew that the beautiful person he had previously thought was under the black robe was actually like this, he would probably be disappointed.
"Sir, is there anything else you'd like to buy? Xiaoxi can take you there; I know this place very well."
The little fairy looked at Yi Shuihan with expectant eyes, looking incredibly cute.
For these saleswomen, the more customers they bring to buy, the more benefits they receive, so naturally they hope that the customers they bring are big spenders.
"Then take me to see where they sell magical treasures!"
Originally, Yi Shuihan had planned to leave directly for his master's dojo, but now he was thinking of taking a stroll around a bit more. Since he was already here, he figured he might as well see it for himself.
Led by the little fairy, Yi Shuihan then looked at spiritual treasures, spiritual herbs, and various rare and precious items, including things for repairing the world. In short, he saw a lot of things and naturally bought some. In the end, Yi Shuihan only spent a single-digit amount of Chaos Crystals.
Chapter 1364, Finally Meeting Master
Yi Shuihan appeared at the foot of an incomparably majestic mountain, which was the location of his master that he had obtained from the Merchant Alliance.
Although Chaos City is a city, it is actually very large, with all kinds of terrain, including mountains, deserts, and even the sea.
Ultimately, this is the center of all the heavens and myriad realms, and the people living here are like gods. Transforming an environment is nothing to them, and even creating a planet is commonplace.
Chaos City, in fact, is much larger than the Great World in terms of area. The Great Dao Emperor who lives here is capable of creating worlds.
"It really doesn't look like the Daoist temple of a Great Dao Emperor; it's too ordinary."
If it weren't for the information from the business alliance, and he had to find it himself, he probably would have completely ignored it when he got here.
With a touch of excitement, Yi Shuihan stepped onto the mountain peak, looking forward to meeting his master.
Half an hour later, Yi Shuihan stood on the mountaintop with his eyes closed.
With the powerful spirit of the Chaos Emperor, Yi Shuihan carefully sensed the anomalies in the surrounding space and finally discovered the difference after half a day.
"It's right there! It's been hidden really well."
Master Yi Shuihan's Daoist temple is not on this mountain peak, or more accurately, it is not on the mountain peak he sees. As the Daoist temple of the Great Dao Emperor, the true location of the temple is an alternate dimension. With the power of the Great Dao Emperor, an alternate dimension world was directly created here.
Take the Dragon God's dojo as an example. He is located in the void above the mountain peak, and there is a constantly changing portal point that can only be perceived at specific times. Moreover, even if those below the True Saint level know about it, they cannot perceive it.
When Yi Shuihan's spirit touched that portal point, his spiritual fluctuations also spread into the alternate dimension. It can be said that this was equivalent to ringing a doorbell to notify the owner, and then a receptionist would come out.
Even with Yi Shuihan's strength as a Chaos Emperor, it would be impossible for him to force his way in. This is the lair of a Great Dao Emperor, and even a Great Dao Emperor cannot enter it in a short time.
Without keeping Yi Shuihan waiting for long, in less than a minute, a very delicate-looking child appeared in the void, accompanied by a void gate.
"Are you the Thirty-Seventh Martial Uncle? I was sent by Grandmaster to pick you up."
It seems my master has already discovered my arrival, but I didn't notice at all. I should say he truly deserves the title of the Great Dao Emperor.
Thirty-seventh Uncle, which means I am my master's thirty-seventh disciple. Luckily, I am not the thirty-eighth Uncle, otherwise it would be a bit awkward.
Yi Shuihan wasn't surprised that his master had dozens of disciples. A Great Dao Emperor didn't know how many beings in the myriad realms wanted to become his disciples. The Dragon God was already considered to have taken fewer disciples. It was normal for some Great Dao Emperors to have tens of thousands of disciples.
Those who are chosen as disciples by the Great Dao Emperors generally have the potential to become Chaos Emperors. Otherwise, the Great Dao Emperors would never take them seriously. Of course, this is not absolute; some Great Dao Emperors might take them as disciples if they find them pleasing to the eye.
"Little guy, what's your name?"
"My name is Meng Xiaochi, but most people call me Xiaochi."
Yi Shuihan asked the boy in front of him. Because he was family, he had a good impression of the boy, and the boy was indeed quite pleasing to the eye.
Despite his small size, Yi Shuihan could still sense the immense power hidden within the child's young body. It was nothing to him, but it was enough to shock anyone outside.
"So young and already a True Saint, it seems like becoming a Chaos Emperor won't be difficult for him in the future! Could it be that his bloodline is even better than that of Father Emperor?"
Indeed, this seemingly young boy of only about 10 years old is actually a genuine Saint, and it is unknown how he cultivated himself to that level.
Yi Shuihan could tell that the little boy in front of him was genuinely young, and not pretending to be young by practicing some special technique.
When people say that the child in front of them is small, they are not referring to his age, but to his appearance. Some beings with powerful bloodlines cannot grow up in just a few decades. For them, tens of thousands of years may be equivalent to one or two years for an ordinary person, and there are even more exaggerated examples.
The little boy in front of me may have lived for tens of millions of years, but those tens of millions of years are not enough for him to grow into a young man.
Thinking about it this way, Yi Shuihan is much younger than this little boy. Just in terms of age, he could call the boy his ancestor.
Yi Shuihan would never call such a little guy "ancestor." It's better to judge a cultivator's seniority based on their cultivation level. He accepted the title of "uncle" without any qualms.
"Little Red! Can I call you that from now on?"
The word "赤" (chì) is a homophone for "吃" (chī), so Yi Shuihan inevitably thought of snacks, which he found somewhat amusing. However, when facing Meng Xiaochi, he had to maintain his lofty image as a senior uncle and had to appear calm.
"of course can."
Meng Xiaochi said happily, seemingly pleased that Yi Shuihan called him Xiaochi.
Just then, the void that had appeared because of Meng Xiaochi suddenly flickered and became somewhat unstable.
"Oh dear, 37th Martial Uncle, come in with me quickly, otherwise I won't be able to get back once the door is closed."
Meng Xiaochi said somewhat anxiously.
"It's a door with a time limit?"
Somewhat surprised, Yi Shuihan knew it wasn't the time to ask questions. He took a step forward and arrived in front of the void gate, then he and Meng Xiaochi stepped inside one after the other.
As Yi Shuihan and Meng Xiaochi entered the gate, the void gate flickered rapidly a few times before exploding with a bang, turning into starlight that scattered down.
The scenery before him changed in an instant, and Yi Shuihan found himself in a huge square, where many "people" were waiting for him.
"Master."
Standing at the very front was a face that Yi Shuihan knew all too well—his master, the Dragon God Salama. Beside Salama, many "people" were looking at Yi Shuihan with curiosity and goodwill in their eyes.
"Master, Uncle-Master, Grandmaster."
Meng Xiaochi was also startled by this scene and quickly bowed. What a good child!
Chapter 1365, The 9th Floor of the Tower of Babel
"This is my 37th Martial Uncle, the one who broke through to the Chaos Emperor realm a few years ago. Now that I see him, he is indeed a handsome and talented man."
"Master only took in three human disciples, and all of them became Chaos Emperors. The human race is truly talented!"
"That's great! We now have a senior uncle who is a Chaos Emperor. From now on, we'll have one more person to ask for guidance."
The disciples of the third generation were communicating with each other, and the topic they were discussing all revolved around Yi Shuihan.
"Come, come, let me introduce you to your fellow disciples. This is your second senior brother."
"Greetings, Second Senior Brother."
"Thirty-seventh junior brother, you don't need to be so polite."
"This is your third senior sister."
"Greetings, Third Senior Sister."
"..."
Yi Shuihan's master, the Dragon God Salama, introduced Yi Shuihan to each of his fellow disciples, but in the end, he only introduced him to 21 senior brothers and sisters, and one junior sister. This junior sister was the Dragon God's 38th disciple, and she entered the sect a little later than Yi Shuihan.
There were also some fellow disciples who were not present. Some were not here, some were delayed by important matters, such as reaching a critical moment in their cultivation, and some had died.
Even a disciple of a Great Dao Emperor can die, after all, he is just a disciple and not a Great Dao Emperor. Moreover, even a Great Dao Emperor is not immortal; those above him are not mere decorations.
Because of Yi Shuihan's return, a grand welcome party was held in this world, and Yi Shuihan also began to integrate into his sect through this grand welcome party.
"Why is Master's title Creation Emperor instead of Dragon God Emperor?"
"Because Master's path is the path of creation."
"Is Master very powerful in the Great Dao Emperor realm?"
"Of course, Master's strength ranks among the top five of the Great Dao Emperors, and even those ranked higher are not much stronger than Master."
The information Yi Shuihan purchased from the Merchant Alliance only revealed his master's title and the location of his Daoist temple. If it weren't for the fact that his master's real name was also included, Yi Shuihan wouldn't have been able to connect the Creation Emperor with Salama. In his opinion, his master's title was more fitting for the Dragon God Emperor.
After spending half a year in this world called the Realm of Creation, the turmoil caused by Yi Shuihan's arrival gradually subsided, and Yi Shuihan's existence was completely accepted by his fellow disciples.
His own strength has reached the level of Chaos Emperor. In this world of creation, there are only 8 people stronger than him. His master is one, and there are 7 senior brothers and sisters who are at least at the first level of Chaos Emperor. In addition, there are 4 others who are also at the first level of Chaos Emperor and cannot be considered stronger than him.
In this way, Yi Shuihan is also one of the strongest in the Creation Realm. As long as such a strong person is a little more humble and generous, no one would want to offend him and would definitely want to befriend him. Besides, there is also the relationship of being from the same sect.
None of the usual sect rivalries and infighting stemming from jealousy happened to Yi Shuihan. Her sect was very harmonious, and the members were very friendly; it felt like a family.
Yi Shuihan's senior brothers and sisters all treated him like a younger brother. They were happy to answer his questions and even gave him some local specialties.
My senior brothers and sisters, whose cultivation levels were not as high as Yi Shuihan's, did not feel any distance from him when they communicated with him because of their cultivation levels. Instead, they naturally said that they should learn more from Yi Shuihan.
Even in just half a year, Yi Shuihan fell in love with his sect. Besides his master, his fellow disciples had unknowingly taken up a place in his heart as well.
Yi Shuihan then stayed in the Creation World for the time being, where his master, the Dragon God, gave him special instruction in cultivation.
The fact that a Great Dao Emperor personally trained him would leave the company's guardians speechless, as they were all hoping for guidance from a Chaos Emperor at the second level.
It's estimated that only Baihuaxiang is receiving the same treatment as Yishuihan. Baihuaxiang is being treated like a daughter, while Yishuihan is being treated like a son.
For a Chaos Emperor, even the slightest improvement would take tens of thousands of years. A Chaos Emperor who can feel a significant improvement after a million years is already considered a genius. However, under the personal guidance of his master, Yi Shuihan can feel his progress almost every day.
What should have taken ten thousand years to achieve in cultivation, Yi Shuihan accomplished in a single day. And this was not done using any special secret method, with no side effects whatsoever, and could be repeated continuously.
One day, two days, three days...
Yi Shuihan was immersed in Salama's explanation of the Dao, absorbing the essential knowledge about the Dao like a sponge. With the help of the Hunyuan Great Pill, Yi Shuihan's understanding of the Dao of Time and the Dao of Thunder increased rapidly. Even the Dao of Life caught this fast train and was comprehended at an incredible speed.
