Chu Feng arrived at the Martial Alliance's trading hall, and as it happened, Steward Ma was still there.
Chu Feng asked directly whether they had what he needed.
The Martial Alliance did have something, but the quality was far below Chu Feng's requirements. Furthermore, Steward Ma explained that even if the Martial Alliance's headquarters had it, the quality still wouldn't compare to that of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace.
Because this was a business operation, Steward Ma actually understood these matters better than Long Xiaoxiao's Master.
He named precisely one of the Sacred-grade treasures held by the Seven Realms Sacred Palace — the Seven Realms Soul-Forging Incense.
This item originated from the ancient era and possessed the power to strengthen a Spirit World Master's soul. It was precisely because its medicinal potency was so overwhelming that it had been classified as a Sacred-grade treasure.
Although its grade was exceedingly high, it was seldom needed, which was why very few people knew about it.
However, this item might just meet Chu Feng's requirements.
For Chu Feng, this was unquestionably good news. Without delay, he headed straight for the Upper Realm of Spring within the Seven Realms Star River.
The Upper Realm of Spring was no small world — its landmass was vast beyond measure, and as such, it had an extraordinary number of teleportation arrays.
In the Upper Realm of Spring alone, the number of reachable teleportation arrays totaled thirty thousand.
When Chu Feng arrived, he wasn't familiar with the area and simply chose one at random. But the moment he stepped out of the teleportation array, the sight before him was one of a sea of people.
And still, more and more individuals were emerging from the array one after another.
These people hailed from various factions, but the majority wore Spirit World Master robes.
Of course, there were not only juniors — elders were present as well.
The elders had naturally come to accompany their juniors.
Yet the number of people visible before him easily numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
But this was just one of thirty thousand teleportation arrays in the Upper Realm of Spring.
Presumably, the other arrays were all buzzing with the same kind of bustling activity.
One could imagine how many Spirit World Masters had already descended upon the Upper Realm of Spring since the issuance of the Seven Realms Decree.
So many Spirit World Masters gathered in a single world — this was something Chu Feng had never witnessed before.
This was the calling power of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace. Whether one liked it or not, one had to acknowledge its might.
And there, in the void above the teleportation array, floated a massive grand formation.
The formation resembled a floating city, standing tall in the expanse of the void — magnificent and awe-inspiring.
The Seven Realms Sacred Palace war banners fluttering in the wind made it clear whose hand had laid this formation.
Within the grand formation, several members of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace stood guard.
At the very top hung an enormous plaque.
Inscribed upon it were words to the effect that any junior Spirit World Master could register to participate.
Right now, countless juniors were bidding farewell to their elders before launching into the sky and stepping into the grand formation.
In the center of the formation stood four teleportation gates, each inscribed with one of the characters: East, South, West, and North.
However, directly in front of the four gates hovered a transparent sphere ten thousand meters tall.
This sphere was itself a formation. Bolstered by a special raw material treasure, it could continuously forge four types of weapons.
These were: a long sword, a short dagger, a long spear, and a scythe.
The first three were meant for combat, while the scythe was intended for agricultural work — making it something of an outlier.
Anyone who entered the grand formation first had to touch the sphere with their hand to establish a connection, and after announcing their identity and name, one of the four weapons within the sphere would break free from the formation and fall into their grasp.
The weapon received would determine which teleportation gate the person could enter.
The long sword granted entry through the East Gate.
The short dagger granted entry through the South Gate.
The long spear granted entry through the West Gate.
The scythe granted entry through the North Gate.
…………
Meanwhile, in the Upper Realm of Spring, there stood a grand hall of imposing proportions.
The hall was filled with a peculiar aura that was enormously beneficial to Spirit World Masters — this aura was precisely the kind of cultivation resource that Spirit World Masters dreamed of obtaining.
At the very center of this grand hall sat a sphere.
Inside the sphere, liquids of seven different colors flowed and intertwined, each color distinct and self-contained, refusing to blend with the others.
At present, the golden liquid was the most abundant, while the black was the least.
Though the seven-colored liquids occupied the vast majority of the sphere, there was still some empty space remaining.
And within this grand hall, there was one other person.
