Cosmic Trading System

Listening to Bahu Ye's narration, a grand spectacle emerged before everyone's eyes.

"The sage's sermon was so powerful... It would have been great if I had been there at the time…" A person murmured, his eyes glazed in deep thought.

He was in the initial stage of the twelfth level, an even higher level than what Bahu Ye was at that time. If he had been there, wouldn't he have at least reached the later stage of the twelfth level, or perhaps even peaked at the twelfth level?

The power at the peak of the twelfth level was far beyond a typical twelfth-level cultivator. How formidable would that be?

Some even touched the Super Level, or even broke through to the Super Level... If he could reach such a level, he would truly be prosperous!

However, now, according to Bahu Ye, the Immortal Origin Holy Land had vanished out of sight for unknown reasons.

It would not be so easy for him to go to such a place anymore.

"Now, the Immortal Origin Holy Land..." At this moment, someone could not help but ask.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Bahu Ye, filled with great expectations.

Everyone was filled with longing for such a holy place.

"The sages of the Immortal Origin Holy Land gave their sermons for just about a millennium before they decided to establish small worlds and concealed themselves from the rest of the cosmos, instructing others not to spread news of the Holy Land's existence. That's how this matter didn't get out…" Bahu Ye slowly narrated, looking around at people's eager faces.

Otherwise, given the free and open spirit of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, its reputation should have already spread throughout the universe. At the very least, the large forces within the eighth-level Civilization Star Domain should have known about it, instead of being kept in the dark as they are now.

Bahu Ye realized that his power and status were too low.

He was unaware that the sages of the Immortal Origin Holy Land had left this universe. The Auspicious Power of the sages of the Immortal Origin Holy Land was dissipating. The powerful figures there had to establish small worlds to prevent the Auspicious Power from further disintegration. They secluded themselves to concentrate on reaching the realm of a sage.

"Nevertheless, the preeminent status of the Immortal Origin Holy Land is unquestionable, with no one daring to offend it," Bahu Ye added after a pause.

"Now, do you understand why I apologized to those two men?" Bahu Ye looked at the crowd and asked.

"We understand…"

"Who would have thought that those two would have such influential backing? The Bahu Family really can't say that we were wronged this time…"

The crowd sighed intriguingly.

Such a small place hosted so many terrifyingly powerful people, and they had such huge "connections". Any person coming from there could potentially have a significant relationship with those powerful figures. Who would dare to offend such a person?

"Chief, are those two really from the Immortal Origin Holy Land? Could there be some misunderstanding..." One person hesitated to ask the question.

"Firstly, their soul signatures definitely match that of humans from the Immortal Origin Holy Land. This much I'm absolutely certain about. Secondly, who else but someone from the Immortal Origin Holy Land could exhibit such powerful strength at such a young age? Even leveling up with the help of the Cosmic Trading System isn't that easy.

Furthermore, leveling up with the Cosmic Trading System usually creates some stability issues, yet the two of them don't feel unstable at all. Also, who else but someone from the Immortal Origin Holy Land could afford such a grand gesture as owning a Super Star Beast…" Bahu Ye shook his head and explained.

"It's a shame. I had hoped to form a relationship with them, but they were wary of us and didn't seem interested in forming any connection." After a pause, Bahu Ye sighed.

"Grandpa, it's all my fault. I almost brought a catastrophic disaster upon our Bahu Family," Bahu Mubai said, his voice choked as he continued to kneel and bow on the floor.

"You did make a mistake. The audacity of those two to come to the Bahu Family's core administrative star and murder in broad daylight should have indicated their significant abilities. Further, considering their young age, you should not have assumed that in an eighth-level Civilization Star Domain, there would be many who have a substantial background.

On the contrary, as we are close to the ninth-level Civilization Star Domain, it is most likely here that we would encounter individuals with substantial backgrounds. It was incredibly foolish of you to take action against them without properly investigating," Bahu Ye coldly chastised.

"From now on, you'll practice in the family's secluded grounds for an indefinite period of time. Cut off all contact with the outside world. Do not come out until you break through to the twelfth level," Bahu Ye declared in a dismissive tone.

"Yes, Grandpa," Bahu Mubai responded, his voice quivering as he kept his head low in submission.

The twelfth level was not easy to break through. Countless people were stranded at the peak of the eleventh level, unable to break through for their entire lives, and Bahu Mubai had not yet even reached the peak of the eleventh level. This punishment was, in every respect, severe.

Yet, he did not feel any resentment.

All he felt was a deep sense of fear. His family's lineage had survived up till now with great difficulty, and it was almost destroyed because of him.

...

In the depths of the starry sky.

On a fast-moving battleship.

"We're really wealthy now!"

"One thousand eight hundred trillion Spirit Crystals! The Bahu Family is really generous!"

"Didn't expect that old man to be so cautious of the ancient powerhouses on our Earth!"

Zhao Gang, Lin Jianfei, Lin Duoer, and the others quickly rejoined Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing, expressing their excitement.

The scene of Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing fighting and eliminating Mingdu in the Bahu Family was visible to them through a projection device, even though they were contained in a space within Lin Yun.

"I didn't expect the name of the Immortal Origin Holy Land to be so influential. Thanks to the Bahu Family patriarch's reverence for the Holy Land, otherwise, with their financial resources, we would have faced significant troubles…" Lin Yun exclaimed.

Following this event, they benefited from the influence of the Immortal Origin Holy Land twice.

"Don't you think this situation is similar to the historical relationship between the nations on Earth, whereby the weak fear the strong. No matter the foreigner's status in their powerful mother country, even if they are a beggar, they are feared and not messed with in weaker countries. Much like the treatment foreign nations received in Huaxia during historical invasions…"

Suddenly, Zhao Gang chuckled as he made the comparison.

"Huh?" The crowd was taken aback.

"It is indeed similar…"

"It seems like this principle applies universally!"

"Having a big tree as shelter is truly favorable. As Earth grows stronger, Earthlings venturing out would be received with the same reverence…" They all nodded and laughed in agreement.

As they conversed, they couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in the power of Earth in ancient times.

Initially, they didn't feel much of a connection to that era.

Now, as they travel through the cosmic skies, they've directly benefited from this past power, generating a sense of belonging and connectedness.

"I really wish I could see what ancient Earth was like, what the might of the sage realms was, and what it would have been like when the sages gave their sermons…" Lin Jianfei couldn't help but sigh with longing.

"Yes, I wish I could have seen it too…" Several people responded in agreement.

With their increased experience and broadened horizons, they left Earth indeed had conflicts with the powerhouses from the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm, but those individuals didn't represent all powerhouses from those realms.

The sages have already departed, and the current powerhouses in the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm do not represent the powerful figures in the Immortal Origin Holy Land of the past.

None of this hinders them from paying their respects to the sages of the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

It's simply because they've twice been blessed with good fortune because of these people's influence as they journey through the cosmic sky. They have benefited greatly from this, and that alone is worth paying them such respect.
