Chapter 1421: 603 Upgrade

Center region of Panlong Immortal City.

Earth Immortal Mansion Mountain Gate.

At the peak of an Immortal Mountain, Su Yu sat at the head of the palace, looking at the group of Human Clan merchants invited inside. Observing their fearful expressions, he chuckled lightly, “This time, taking over Panlong Immortal City has been hectic, neglecting all of you dear friends. I hope you can forgive this.”

Below, several Heavenly Immortals immediately stood up in some fear, slightly bowing their heads, “We wouldn’t dare, senior’s ability to take over Panlong Immortal City truly strengthens the prestige of our Human Clan. We have long admired you.”

Su Yu nodded gently, chatting casually with the merchants for a while before seriously stating, “From now on, this Panlong Immortal City will be renamed as Earth Ridge Immortal City. I will establish the Earth Immortal Mansion’s power here. If any of you wish to set up a commerce guild, a business building, or store in the city, the Earth Immortal Mansion is welcoming.”

“Once the transformation of Earth Ridge Immortal City is complete, it will certainly be open to various powers from the Human Clan, and not just the Human Clan. Even the Demon Clan can enter Earth Ridge Immortal City for trade, as long as they adhere to its rules.”

Wow.

Once these words were said, all the Immortals present from the commerce guilds were shocked and incredulous, staring at Su Yu.

Renaming it wasn’t much of an issue.

Establishing a power like the Earth Immortal Mansion? What is the Earth Immortal Mansion, never heard of it.

Also, he mentioned that in the future Panlong Lake’s underwater Immortal City wouldn’t be open only to the Human Clan, but Demon Clan could also come for trade?

If this can really be achieved, then it’s conceivable that Panlong Lake will absolutely become a focal point for both the Human and Demon Clans. As long as the rules are upheld, we can foresee a bustling scene.

But here’s the problem.

The Earth Immortal Mansion taking Panlong Lake was already beyond their imagination.

But taking it is easy; holding onto Panlong Lake would be incredibly difficult!

To make Panlong Lake a neutral Immortal City cohabited by the Human and Demon Clans, suppressing those unruly among them is a task even a Golden Immortal sitting guard might not achieve.

What makes the Earth Immortal Mansion think it can do it?

The Immortals hesitated.

The Heavenly Immortal of Xiayi Commerce, with a changing complexion, was the first to stand up, saying with clenched teeth, “Senior, if Panlong… oh, if Earth Ridge Immortal City can truly attract both Human and Demon Clans for trade, then Xiayi Commerce will surely fully support it. If you won’t disdain it, senior, Xiayi Commerce wishes to temporarily purchase a site in the Immortal City to set up a store — no, a business building.”

He honestly didn’t have high hopes for the prospects of the so-called Earth Immortal Mansion.

After all, such a change at Panlong Lake wouldn’t just anger and rebound from the Demon Clan but would displease various Human Clan forces, especially the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance.

Panlong Lake lies within the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance’s territory; if it were seized by a member force of the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance Immortal Clan, then it might have their support.

But having seized Panlong Lake, he now wants to establish a force? Earth Immortal Mansion? It sounds like an Immortal Sect power.

Such a force certainly couldn’t join the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance and might even provoke its vigilance and hostility.

By then, it might end up pleasing neither side.

This situation is practically a hellish start.

However, if buying some property and promising to set up a business building could ensure his safety, he would choose this, offering Su Yu some ‘tribute’ or ‘ransom.’

As long as Su Yu would let them leave safely.

With Xiayi Commerce leading, even those reluctant could only grit their teeth and nod in agreement.

Su Yu didn’t care what they thought; he purely wanted to offer them an opportunity. His plan for Earth Ridge Immortal City was akin to positioning it as a Neutral Trading Immortal City, attracting as many powers to set up shops and commerce there, drawing more people to settle in Earth Ridge Immortal City.

Then, within these activities, the Earth Immortal Mansion could earn some resource benefits, absorbing talents to gradually grow itself.

Moreover, having acquired the body book as a treasure, whether for his own cultivation in the Meat Body Dao or for Nan Xiaogu, along with the Black Dragon and three beasts, they required considerable resources for this path.

This necessitated initially acquiring a mass of Immortal Stones to gradually procure through transactions.

Furthermore…

Since Panlong Lake is located in Yinyue Immortal City, within the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance’s domain, joining the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance is unlikely, and hiding isn’t feasible either. The Earth Immortal Mansion needs development; they require resources.

Thus, becoming a neutral trading Immortal City is undoubtedly the best choice.

As for attracting the Demon Clan for trade resources… that would be ideal, but if it couldn’t be done and the Demon Clan doesn’t trust or dare to come, there’d be nothing to do about it. He hopes the Demon Clan will come.

Having gained this group’s agreement, Su Yu didn’t detain them further and simply let them go, seeing no point in making things difficult.

Time quietly passed.

Panlong Lake remained sealed with a Space Array, hidden from outside observation.

However, as time went by, more and more cultivators of Human Clan forces and Demon Clans lingered outside, watching and spying.

And as Xiayi Commerce and others left, the events concerning Panlong Lake’s changes and the establishment of the Earth Immortal Mansion, and Panlong Immortal City’s renaming, gradually spread.

This news created an uproar among many Demon Clans and Human Clan forces.

In the blink of an eye, decades passed.

At the main peak of the Earth Immortal Mansion Mountain Gate, in a cave mansion at the rear.

Sitting cross-legged, Su Yu had initially thought cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Body would be difficult. Yet upon practicing, he found this Meat Body Dao inheritance indeed perfectly matched him, with cultivation speed several times that of the Mixed Element Immortal Path and Five Elements Immortal Scripture.

Another day passed, and there was a slight change in Su Yu’s aura.

Until half a month had gone by.

Su Yu’s aura stabilized as he exhaled softly, opening his eyes and turning his mind to the proficiency panel.

[Cultivation: Late-stage Earth Immortal Realm.]

[Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Immortal Scripture (Late-stage Earth Immortal Realm, Proficiency 67.08%), Body Book – Nine Revolutions Profound Body (Second Turn, Beginner, Proficiency 1.69%).]

First, he felt the changes in his immortal power, significantly increasing, with the cultivation of the Late-stage Earth Immortal Realm boosting his immortal power by more than double compared to when he acted against Panlong Lake!

However, the greatest change should be in his physical body.

Since breaking through to the Immortal Realm, his body’s cultivation had almost stalled without much change.

Yet with the cultivation of the Body Book Nine Revolutions Profound Body inheritance, after just entering the second turn, his body had undergone two qualitative transformations.

In the depths of his body, two layers of mysterious Meat Body Dao textures seemed to appear.

Though there was no apparent change in his physical appearance, his strength had essentially transformed, bearing astounding might.

The pure force of the second turn Nine Revolutions Profound Body could tear apart ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realms! Like a humanoid beast, fiercer than the Black Dragon, Sea-covering Mysterious Turtle, and Taixu at present!
