Chapter 1429 – Divine Kingdom Trading Ring

“Success!” Zhao Feng rejoiced.

He didn’t expect for his God’s Spiritual Eye to be capable of even wiping out the power of the Cursed Words of Death. One had to realize that even the Ancient Race of the Ancient Era had feared the power of the Cursed Words of Death. This was even more proof that the God’s Spiritual Eye was special and abnormal.

“Zhao Feng, what did you do just now?” the Second Elder asked in excitement.

Even God Lords were only capable of helping him suppress the power of the Cursed Words of Death, but they were still helpless in actually getting rid of it. But just now, an extremely small part of the Cursed Words of Death in his body had been wiped away. The Second Elder was absolutely sure that this was Zhao Feng’s doing.

But after asking this question, the Second Elder immediately felt that he was rather impudent. One could easily imagine how precious a method to deal with the Cursed Words of Death was. How could Zhao Feng possibly be willing to explain it so easily?

Moreover, Zhao Feng was no longer some junior but a genius who could defeat a God Lord. Zhao Feng’s current level of strength was equal to a typical God Lord, and he still had enormous potential that could not be underestimated.

“Zhao Feng, do you have a means of undoing the Cursed Words of Death in my body?” the Second Elder somewhat calmed down before asking with a smile.

“The Cursed Words of Death are too difficult to deal with. Even when I used all my strength just now, I was only able to remove an extremely small part.” Zhao Feng slightly shook his head, revealing an exhausted expression.

In truth, eliminating that tiny portion of the Cursed Words of Death had not consumed that much energy. However, if this matter got out, it would probably create an enormous stir, so it was best to conceal as much as possible.

Thus, Zhao Feng did not give a firm reply to the Second Elder’s question. If Zhao Feng directly said that he had the ability to do it, he would shock far too many people.

“It’s fine. You’ve already done your best!” The Second Elder faintly smiled. He didn’t have any hope before, but since Zhao Feng didn’t say that it was impossible, this was proof that there was still a sliver of hope.

The Second Elder was already satisfied with this answer. Even if Zhao Feng ultimately failed to completely undo the Cursed Words of Death, he could definitely weaken it, which would lessen the suffering the Cursed Words of Death inflicted on the Second Elder.

“This junior will bid farewell. After some more research and preparation, I will come to visit Elder again.” Zhao Feng said goodbye to the Second Elder.

Upon returning to his residence, Zhao Feng had no intention of researching anything. Instead, he entered secluded cultivation.

After the war, Zhao Feng’s Chaos Heaven Void Ring had already been well-tempered and possessed formidable defensive capabilities.

“Once I reach the fifth level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, the Chaos Heaven Void Ring can evolve into another powerful combat skill: Chaos Heaven Black Hole!” Zhao Feng was rather anticipating this.

The Chaos Heaven Black Hole was on a whole different level of power compared to the Chaos Heaven Void Ring, and it could even be described as a God Lord combat skill. The Chaos Heaven Black Hole, once formed, could devour all things, attacking and defending at once!

Zhao Feng only slightly familiarized himself with the details at this time and did not actually begin to cultivate.

One month later, he once more paid a visit to the Second Elder’s residence.

The Second Elder had apparently been anticipating his visit and came to welcome him at the door.

“Zhao Feng, you’re finally here. Has there been any progress in your research on the Cursed Words of Death?” The Second Elder smiled.

“Mm. There has been some progress, which is why this junior rushed over,” Zhao Feng solemnly said.

The two went to the secret chamber. Zhao Wang activated the God’s Spiritual Eye and observed the state of the Cursed Words of Death in the Second Elder’s body.

This time, he did not rush to wipe away the power of the Cursed Words of Death and instead carefully observed it.

Zhao Feng was well aware of just how terrifying the Cursed Words of Death were. Now that he was at a high enough level, he naturally had to study this energy well so that he could prevent himself from being struck by it in the future.

Eh? The Cursed Words of Death have a very unique state of existence, a little similar to my power to turn dream into reality! Zhao Feng suddenly noticed this point after a long period of observation.

The God’s Spiritual Eye’s ability to turn dream into reality was extremely mysterious. It was not a physical or spiritual attack, but more like a sort of thought power. Thus, normal people found it difficult to understand and even more difficult to stop or interfere with.

The Cursed Words of Death were similar, but this energy was clearly of a much lower level than the energy that turned dreams into reality.

“Zhao Feng, what’s the situation?” the Second Elder couldn’t help but ask.

Last time, Zhao Feng had very quickly removed a small portion of the Cursed Words of Death in his body, but this time, there was no reaction despite all the time that had passed.

“No hurry,” Zhao Feng called out. After observing for a little longer, he once more used his Origin energy to wipe away a small portion of the Cursed Words of Death. He then put on an exhausted expression and prepared to leave.

“Zhao Feng, you’ve put great effort into this old man’s Cursed Words of Death. This is a small gift from this old man. Please take it!” The Second Elder took out an interspatial dimension.

Zhao Feng did not stand on ceremony, taking it and sending in his Divine Sense.

So many high-quality God Crystals! At least two hundred thousand! Zhao Feng’s face froze.

One high-quality God Crystal was equivalent to ten thousand low-quality God Crystals, and the Second Elder had given him two hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals at once. One had to realize that the entire property of a Rank Nine Ancient God might only amount to one hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals.

Of course, Zhao Feng possessed such fortune that he naturally wouldn’t care that much about two hundred thousand God Crystals.

Besides the two hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals, there was also a supreme-quality divine artifact of rather different quality and cultivation resources for several Intents.

The Second Elder knew that Zhao Feng cultivated the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique, so he had gifted him cultivation resources for various kinds of Intent.

“Right, do you have any interest in the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring being held one year from now?” the Second Elder asked.

“Divine Kingdom Trading Ring?” Zhao Feng remembered that the Second Elder had brought this up last time, but he was concerned about other matters at the time and did not ask any further questions about it.

Seeing Zhao Feng’s confused look, the Second Elder remembered that Zhao Feng had only become an Ancient God ten-some years ago and probably did not understand what the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring was.

“The Divine Kingdom Trading Ring is the high-end trading ring run by the number one commercial faction of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods. Only Ancient Gods have the right to enter it,” the Second Elder explained to Zhao Feng.

The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods was vast, and there were numerous commercial factions. But the faction that operated the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring was hailed as the number one commercial faction, possessing a strength and resources that could not be underestimated.

“Within the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring, an auction will be held every twenty years. It’s said that the auction this time will be of unprecedented grandeur, with many extinct resources from the Ancient Era. There will also be treasures that can allow one to become a God Lord, and even unique treasures from powerful races of the Ancient Era. There’s even a rumor that an Ancestral Artifact fragment will show up!” The Second Elder’s tone became rather excited.

“What? A treasure that can allow one to become a God Lord? Ancestral Artifact fragment?” Zhao Feng was elated, and then he was stunned.

He himself had an Ancestral Artifact fragment, so he naturally understood just how valuable such a thing was. And the auction within the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring would actually have an Ancestral Artifact fragment?

“That’s right! The Divine Kingdom Trading Ring is a high-class marketplace in the central region of the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, but because an Ancestral Artifact fragment might appear, even the God Lords from other zones are going.” The Second Elder had a look of yearning.

The highest-class divine weapons in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods were not supreme-quality divine artifacts, but the paramount Ancestral Artifacts. But Ancestral Artifacts were only a legend, as rare as the Eight Great God Eyes and God Kings.

Ancestral Artifact fragments were a tiny bit more realistic. If a God Lord could obtain an Ancestral Artifact fragment, they could sweep through opponents of the same level and stand out among their peers.

“Mm, when the time comes, I’ll take a look!” Zhao Feng immediately developed an interest in this Divine Kingdom Trading Ring.

On top of everything else, in the war, he had accumulated a giant pile of things that he didn’t really need. At the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring, he could sell or auction them off.

Similarly, a high-class marketplace like the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring would probably have all kinds of treasures, and Zhao Feng would be able to purchase what he required.

Finally, Zhao Feng was currently worried about his future attempt in breaking into the God Lord level. The process of going from Ancient God to God Lord was at least one hundred times more difficult, perhaps even a thousand times, than going from True God to Ancient God. There were even some half-step God Lords who would spend a hundred million years preparing for that step but would still end up failing.

And if one failed at becoming a God Lord, severe damage would be dealt to one’s Divine Stages, with even complete destruction rather commonplace. In the best case, only one Divine Stage would shatter, but in a serious case, all nine Divine Stages would be destroyed, and then one would truly have to start from the beginning. Once Zhao Feng learned all this, he began to regard the matter with utmost importance.

And the Second Elder had mentioned that in the auction being held in the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring next year, a treasure that could help one become a God Lord would appear. How could Zhao Feng let such an opportunity pass by?

In the following period, he would come at set intervals to the Second Elder to undo a part of the Cursed Words of Death. Eight months later, only fifty percent of the Cursed Words of Death energy remained in the Second Elder’s body.

With his God Lord energy, he could easily suppress the remaining energy. And if Zhao Feng had the time to slowly wipe it all away, that was fine too.

“Zhao Feng, you could be considered the person I most revere in my entire life! Haha!” The Second Elder loudly laughed.

On the battlefield, if Zhao Feng had not defeated God Lord Fire Cloud, the Second Elder might have been killed, and now, Zhao Feng had saved his life again by undoing a part of the Cursed Words of Death in his body.

“It’s nothing like that. Nothing!” Zhao Feng politely replied.

He had saved the Second Elder’s life twice and made him incredibly grateful. The Second Elder essentially owed him a favor. At a crucial moment, the favor of a God Lord might prove very useful.

The upper echelon members of the Spiritual Race kept the matter of Zhao Feng undoing the Cursed Words of Death an absolute secret. And over the last year, Zhao Feng and the Second Elder had become incredibly close.

All this combined meant that Zhao Feng was the number one person of the Spiritual Race beneath the three God Lords.

“Zhao Feng, the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring’s auction will be held in a few months. You should prepare some God Crystals. Don’t end up missing out on something and regretting it for your entire life!” the Second Elder teased.

Even the wealthiest person would find themselves lacking in God Crystals once they entered the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring.

Several months later, Zhao Feng accompanied the Second Elder and prepared to head for the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring. Accompanying them were Zhao Yufei and a few of the older Ancient Gods of the Spiritual Race.

Half a month later, the group arrived at the Life Sacred Land. An entrance to the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring had been set up at the Sacred Land of each zone.

“The entry fee is ten thousand high-quality God Crystals.” The attendant from the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring gave an amiable smile.

Ten thousand high-quality God Crystals!? Zhao Feng couldn’t help but gasp.

One needed to be an Ancient God to enter the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring, but some ordinary Rank Seven Ancient Gods could sell off everything they owned and still not be able to scrape together ten thousand high-quality God Crystals
