Chapter 63: The Golden Zone

  The Golden Zone is located in the eastern part of Starry Sky Island, where the gods, demons and monsters gather. It is also a branch of various superpowers, with various trading shops set up.

  Looking down from above, the entire Golden Zone presents an absolutely perfect concentric circle, divided into outer ring area, inner ring area and core area from outside to inside. That very obvious concentric point is the Star Auction Hall standing in the most central part of the Golden Zone, which looks like a 100,000 times enlarged Roman Colosseum at a glance.

  There is a clear division between the two regions, each with a ten-mile-wide ring-shaped spiritual river separating them. The outer spiritual river is called Chongjian River, and the inner spiritual river is called Naoling River. Many jade bridges have been built on the rivers, and various spiritual fish swim beneath, misty and remote.

  Among them, the most famous is Xuanwu Street, which runs east-west through the Golden Zone, connecting to the core area. Chengwu Street runs north-south and intersects with Xuanwu Street, dividing the entire Golden Zone into four major areas.

  In the core area, in the grand hall of the Xingxing Gate's residence, a majestic middle-aged man with sword-like eyes and starry eyebrows sat on the throne, his hands naturally tapping the armrests in rhythm. Below him, the lord of the Jitutu Temple, who was in charge of renting and buying territories on the Starry Island, stood respectfully in the hall, his face pale and beardless, with a refined expression.

  "Thud, thud, thud", a series of footsteps, and then eight gods with different personalities walked into the grand hall one after another. There were old men, rough and burly men, elegant scholars, enchanting middle-aged beauties, and even an old-looking child.

  Eight people casually found a seat and sat down, but no one paid respects to the majestic middle-aged man upstairs. However, that middle-aged man didn't seem to mind at all, as if he was used to it.

  After everyone was ready, the majestic middle-aged man spoke to the elegant-looking Lord of the Temple of Earth below: "Elder Huangdun, please tell the esteemed guests what just happened."

  A refined middle-aged man known as Huang Dun said, "Just this morning, a piece of land in the core area of the Golden Zone was bought by a young immortal."

  "What!" The eight venerables who had been calm and composed since entering the palace were first stunned, then lost their composure and shouted out.

  Then, as if they realized their mistake, they hastily sat up straight and said to the master of the Temple of Earth, "Tell us in detail about the situation at that time."

  The several people sitting above are among the eight respected ones in the Chen Xing Gate, each with a divine power. They usually focus on cultivating and understanding the laws of nature, ignoring worldly affairs. Even the majestic middle-aged man, Li Shuo God, who is actually in charge of Star Island, does not give any face to those eight gods, who are also single-mindedly cultivating. Normally, they would be calm and composed when something happens, but unexpectedly, upon hearing this news today, they lost their composure one after another.

  It's no wonder they were so shocked, because the major superpowers of the Primordial Chaos, whether on the surface or in secret, all had some clues to follow. Just like the four major mysterious organizations, the Wan Yao Alliance, Ze Guo, Xie Mo Village, and the Underground Ice Palace, which were previously known by very few gods and demons, and even completely unknown, extremely mysterious. However, in the end, they also gradually surfaced through the intelligence gathering of the major superpowers over billions of years, revealing a corner of their iceberg.

  This time, Xingkongjian was established, and the four major mysterious organizations also set up branches and opened shops in front of the second-rate powers of Hongyuan.

  Able to defy the pressure of various superpowers in the vast wilderness, daring to build a resident store in the core area. It is clear that this is a hidden superpower. Before this, Xingxingmen had not received any news about it, which shows how secretive and terrifying this power is.

  "This morning, a young man came with...". Then, the master of Karada began to tell the story of Yang Le's purchase of the core land in Huangjindi.

  "Oh, hearing you say that, I think it may not be what we guessed after all. We'll know more if we observe carefully later on. I suppose other families will also make some small moves in the future, hehehe!" The childish voice with a mature tone echoed throughout the grand hall.

  "Hmm, not bad, just slightly beyond our expectations. We need to strengthen our investigation in this area and inform the Hidden Star Palace that we mustn't miss a single thread of information about each major power. This is also a warning: it's possible that there are more hidden powers in the Hongyuan universe than we thought. The recent emergence of Extreme Joy Island, Devil Island, and the Loose Cultivation Alliance is quite sudden. We can relax our guard against the Loose Cultivation Alliance, but Extreme Joy Island and Devil Island are the key. They've risen to challenge us major superpowers with great fanfare, their ambition is not small!"

  ……

  According to the information obtained from the Xunzhu bought in the Dragon Heaven Dynasty, which recorded a detailed map of the East Sea, Yang Le took two maids and slipped out of Penglai Island, flying towards the direction where Penglai Island was located.

  In the East Sea, it can be said that it is the richest and broadest sea area in the entire Hongyuan, with three major Tianchao rulers governing this near-sea region of the East Sea. They are Xianglong Tianchao, Lingluo Tianchao, and Manli Tianchao. Among them, Manli Tianchao is particularly peculiar because that Shengdi is a female Shengdi, and most of her subordinates are female gods.

  Yang Le finally found the approximate location of his Xianyao Island on the vast map of the starry East Sea. To say that Yang Le's Xianyao Island has been uninhabited for nearly two million years, and no one has passed by from the direction of Xianyao Island. This is because Xianyao Island is located on the outermost periphery of the East Sea, adjacent to the North Sea, and even the nearest Barbaric Demon Lord's Huangyu Gorge and the empire created by Baizhan Shengjun are billions of miles away, making it a rare place to visit.

  Carrying two maids, as if teleporting through layers of space, after an hour, they had already crossed over half of the East Sea's near-shore domain and appeared before a vast sea area shrouded in mist.

  With a wave of his hand, the smoke and fog instantly dispersed, revealing the boundless and carefree Pariah Island before the three people.

  "Wows", a string of exclamations burst forth from the mouths of Xia Lin and Qiu Mei, two maidservants, obviously for the mysterious and beautiful scenery of Penglai Island: the majestic and continuous dragon-shaped mountain range, the ancient and powerful forest, the clear and melodious brook, the deep and serene ancient pool, the mirror-like lake, everything was so peaceful and beautiful, not to mention the occasional bird calls, the leisurely and elegant divine birds flying by, all of which made the eyes of the two women sparkle with delight.

  Yang Le and the other two had just landed at the Xianyao Mountain Villa when a golden light flashed by, falling in front of Yang Le. It was none other than the troublemaker Jinguang.

  "Master, you've finally returned!" Seeing the teary-eyed Jin Gang, Yang Le immediately fell into a stern expression and said: "Jin Gang, you're wandering around again. Everyone else is working hard to cultivate, yet you're neglecting your own cultivation."

  "Young master, this is not my fault. I also want to work hard and cultivate, but over the years, my progress has been barely visible, with little effect, and no signs of breakthrough." The tall and sturdy man, already tense in his muscles, spoke out in a wronged tone, tears streaming down his face.

  "Oh?" Upon hearing Jīn Gāng's words, a vast perception swept over his body. His robust physique was laid bare in Yáng Lè's perception, comparable to the hardness of top-grade divine artifacts, containing terrifying power and defense, scorching hot blood flowing like molten lava, a steady and powerful heartbeat, and a skeleton that shone with metallic luster like copper skin and iron bones, everything seemed perfectly normal.

  Yang Le thought for a moment, then remembered the Golden Ape's Body Refining Technique, "Yuan Mo Jin Shen Jue". This was an advanced body refining technique that consisted of seven layers. Upon completing all seven layers, one could achieve the Golden Ape's Body and reach the Earth-grade Grandmaster True Body realm, comparable to a low-grade Post-Heavenly Spiritual Treasure.

  But this law decision relies on various cruel exercises to make progress, otherwise the progress is slow and difficult to break through.
