"Please, take a seat. Let's talk slowly; I won't disturb you any longer." The Innkeeper cupped his fists toward the few people in the private room and took his leave. Wei Chen didn't have time to ask about the Divine Iron and could only wait for a result from the Elder of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect before he could check out that astonishing Divine Iron.
Wei Chen was very interested in the Divine Iron; in his mind, the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect was secondary. Forming an alliance with the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect was merely leveraging someone else's power, while enhancing his own direct influence was far more beneficial. Acquiring the Divine Iron would allow Golden Mechanism to construct a large Warship, creating a war machine that even Twelve-Level Divine Realm Experts would fear. The prospect was simply too enticing.
"I am Wei Chen. You must be well aware of our background by now. When we entered the Golden Clan Secret Realm, you followed us in. You heard everything we discussed quite clearly, didn't you?" Wei Chen looked at the Elder of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect and spoke calmly.
The Third Elder smiled gently and replied, "Indeed, we were able to enter the Golden Clan Secret Realm and ascertain the cause of our ancestor Xiaoxiang Sword God's death thanks to your assistance in opening it. For this, the entire Xiaoxiang Sword Sect is deeply grateful."
With that, the Third Elder and Zhang Zi bowed deeply to Wei Chen and his companions.
Wei Chen waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing, Third Elder. We are going to deal with Bloodshed Shop; you should be aware of that, right?"
"I'm not entirely clear on the details, but I can guess a bit," the Third Elder replied.
Wei Chen continued, "The Endless Divine Realm has been suppressed by Bloodshed Shop for millions of years; we cannot continue to endure this status. In just over half a year, we will be fighting Bloodshed Shop within the Endless Divine Realm. In the initial battles, the Endless Divine Realm will be our battlefield. At first, we will bear the brunt ourselves, but as we progress into the later stages, the battlefield will shift to your realm, and we will need your assistance."
"It won't be mere assistance; it will be mutually beneficial. We will deal with Bloodshed Shop while you handle Golden Clan—each fighting our own battles. Everyone knows that Bloodshed Shop and Golden Clan have a strong relationship, so we can define our relationship as a strategic alliance."
Wei Chen thought about the Divine Iron and didn't hold back; he laid out his intentions directly. After all, it was what it was—he wasn't afraid that Xiaoxiang Sword Sect would refuse. In truth, whether they agreed or not didn't matter; circumstances would inevitably lead to that outcome.
The Third Elder of Xiaoxiang Sword Sect fell silent for a moment before frowning and asking, "Friend, if you truly believe you can push back into their realm, then naturally—without any rituals or negotiations—we would have a common enemy. Your strategic alliance could indeed form naturally. We might even assist each other."
"But... Wei Chenyu, do you really have confidence that you can push back into their realm? Bloodshed Shop can send two elders leading hundreds of Tenth Level Divine Realm experts to sweep through your Endless Divine Realm without leaving a trace."
The Third Elder couldn't comprehend where these three fellows found such overwhelming confidence.
Bloodshed Shop's dominance over Endless Divine Realm wasn't without reason. In their realm, Bloodshed Shop's power was formidable; almost no one dared to provoke them. Although Xiaoxiang Sword Sect was strong, annihilating Bloodshed Shop was impossible. Even if they managed to breach Blood Slaughter Shop Headquarters, countless lives would be lost among Xiaoxiang Sword Sect's ranks.
"Where does the confidence of these three fellows come from?"
Wei Chen smiled lightly and said, "Third Elder, you don't need to worry about that. We have our own methods. In any case, when we launch our counterattack against the realm, we will need your assistance to at least hold back the Golden Clan and prevent them from aiding the Bloodshed Shop."
"Rest assured, you don't need to worry about that. The Golden Clan killed our ancestor, the Xiaoxiang Sword God, and even shamelessly created a kneeling statue to humiliate him. This is a great disgrace for us at the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect! Even if it costs us our last breath, we will kill every powerful member of the Golden Clan!"
As Third Elder mentioned this matter, his eyes were filled with rage, and the kind and gentle demeanor he had before vanished in an instant.
Wei Chen asked, "Kill all the powerful members of the Golden Clan? What level are you referring to?"
"Above the Seventh Level Divine Realm, not a single one left! The Golden Clan has too many members; we can't kill them all nor do we want to commit such a massacre. We will eliminate all those at the Seventh Level Divine Realm and above, ensuring that the Golden Clan cannot rise for countless years. That is our bottom line!" Third Elder growled in anger.
Wei Chen nodded slightly and said, "Then I wish you good luck. If our progress goes smoothly, we will also lend a hand when the time comes."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Third Elder looked at the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and frowned as he asked, "This friend here, are you not from the Golden Clan?"
"No," Supreme Deity of Southern Ming directly shook his head in denial. His sense of belonging to the Golden Clan was almost zero at this point.
A flicker of surprise crossed Third Elder's eyes, but since Supreme Deity of Southern Ming firmly denied it, he felt it inappropriate to ask further.
He turned back to Wei Chen and requested, "Friend, we can only discuss cooperation once you arrive at the realm. However, if you could help us with something, our branch of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect can go to the Endless Divine Realm to assist you in eliminating members of the Bloodshed Shop—one Twelfth Level Deity, ten Eleventh Level Deities, and a hundred Tenth Level Deities! Once we reach that number, we will return to the realm."
Hearing this, Wei Chen smiled lightly and said, "Are you prepared to go to the Endless Divine Realm to help us kill members of the Bloodshed Shop? Make sure you don't regret it later or end up killing few while being killed by them instead."
"Rest assured, we still know some information about Bloodshed Shop. The elders who frequently go out on missions are no match for me," Third Elder replied.
Wei Chen nodded and said, "Then it's settled. I can roughly guess what you need our help with."
"Oh?" The Third Elder smiled and replied, "Let's hear it."
"You will send all the disciples of the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect into your True God World, then you will destroy that kneeling statue, and we will take you out of the Golden Clan Secret Realm. Without us, you won't be able to leave the Golden Clan Secret Realm. Your branch will be worn down by the Golden Clan's people here, right?" Wei Chen said calmly.
The Third Elder gave Wei Chen a thumbs up and said, "That's right. Do you have a plan?"
"At this point, you're coming to us for help. Once this is done, you'll leave. The Bloodshed Shop is about to head to the Endless Divine Realm to recruit people, and we don't have time to waste in the Golden Clan Secret Realm," Wei Chen stated.
The Third Elder pondered for a moment, considering whether Wei Chen might inform the Golden Clan to ambush him. However, thinking about the Bloodshed Shop as the number one threat in the Endless Divine Realm and their good relationship with the Golden Clan, he concluded that Wei Chen had no reason to scheme against him.
"Alright, it's settled then!"
...
In the far west of Golden City, behind tall city walls, there were countless open spaces overgrown with weeds, uninhabited by anyone. The layout of Golden City was so vast that there were many such areas surrounding the urban zone.
Five imposing figures quietly appeared in one of these open spaces.
It was the Innkeeper and his assistant, along with Wei Chen, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, and Ying Qin Supreme Deity.
"Friend, this piece of Divine Iron is quite large, weighing a million tons but having ten times the volume of an ordinary iron block of equal weight. This means its density is only one-tenth that of regular iron. Its flexibility is very poor; I must make this clear. If you intend to use it for forging weapons or armor, it is absolutely impossible. Even the most skilled blacksmith cannot forge weapons or armor from it," the Innkeeper explained as he took out a Sumeru Seed and chanted a few incantations. A massive red object appeared in the open space.
The weight of the iron block was immense, yet Wei Chen observed that its volume was astonishingly large, resembling a mountain.
"You can try attacking it with all your strength; it will be difficult to leave a mark," Shopkeeper Shen chuckled.
"We can't test it ourselves. Please demonstrate your attack for us to verify its quality," Wei Chen replied.
"Alright." The Innkeeper was straightforward. He drew a treasured sword, charged it with Divine Power, and struck down fiercely at the iron block.
With a clang, a mark about half an inch deep was left on the surface.
"This is a charged strike from the Twelfth Level Divine Realm. At the auction, I could withstand an attack from an Eleventh Level Divine Realm Expert without any issue," the Innkeeper said, sheathing his sword with a grin.
A big business opportunity had presented itself, and he felt quite excited.
Wei Chen, along with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity, marveled at the Divine Iron. Indeed, it lived up to its name! The Innkeeper's strike seemed unimpressive at first glance, yet the surrounding void nearly split apart, and the Divine Iron only bore a shallow mark.
Most importantly, how could its density be so extraordinary? It was merely one-tenth that of ordinary iron!
This revelation thrilled Wei Chen; such density meant a larger coverage area and required less power to manipulate.
It was top-quality Divine Iron!
"Shopkeeper Shen's, let's put it away. The experiment is over; we can discuss further back at our place," Wei Chen said to the Innkeeper.
The mountain-like Divine Iron was stored back into Shopkeeper Shen's Sumeru Seed. The group swiftly teleported back to Tong Inn.
“Shopkeeper Shen, where did you get this Divine Iron?” It was time for Wei Chen to negotiate the purchase and he wanted to understand the situation first.
Shopkeeper Shen replied, “Wei Chenyu, I can’t answer that question. All I know is that this item came from above, but as for the specifics, I’m not at that level and don’t have the qualifications to know.”
Wei Chen understood in his heart. Although the innkeeper was vague, from those limited and ambiguous words, he guessed that perhaps the Divine Iron was a product of the Great Realm.
“Shopkeeper Shen, let’s be straightforward. I’m interested in this piece of Divine Iron, but we need to negotiate the price. In business, it’s not a one-time deal; you set a price, and naturally, we can bargain.”
Wei Chen continued, “You’ve traveled so many places without selling it; it’s only reasonable for us to expect a discount.”
Hearing Wei Chen’s words, the innkeeper smiled wryly. “Friend, there’s no way to negotiate. The price is set by headquarters, and I don’t have the authority to change it. Moreover, headquarters has made it clear: this is the price; they won’t sell for even one less piece of divine stone.”
“But there should be some kind of concession. Otherwise, if we buy it and aren’t happy about it, that’s just normal buyer sentiment,” Wei Chen said lightly.
Shopkeeper Shen thought for a moment and said, “How about this? I can give you a Black Card for Tong Inn. With that Black Card, you can stay for free at any Tong Inn and they can also provide assistance within certain limits. This is the best offer I can give; beyond that, there’s nothing more I can do.”
Wei Chen extended his hand. “Where’s the Black Card? Give it to me.”
Shopkeeper Shen was overjoyed and quickly handed the Black Card respectfully to Wei Chen. Wei Chen glanced at it and remarked, “Aside from the word ‘Tong,’ there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it. The formation on it wouldn’t be difficult to replicate either.”
“Wei Chenyu, while that may be true, who would have the time to bother replicating it?” Shopkeeper Shen chuckled bitterly; Wei Chen's imagination was running wild.
