My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 531: 503: Sect’s Martial Armory

Chapter 531: Chapter 503: Sect’s Martial Armory

In ancient times, cultivators acted without any prohibitions.

Slaughtering countless living beings to refine magic tools; destroying mountains, boiling seas, burning forests, sinking lands; ignoring agreements, being unfaithful; killing and claiming others’ possessions, all in the pursuit of profit…

All of these, were the norm.

The root cause was that with the advancement of their cultivation stages and the continuous increase of their personal strengths, the cultivators had fewer and fewer restrictions.

If a God Transforming cultivator coveted a treasure accidentally obtained by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they could easily kill them and claim the treasure as their own. In such a situation, how many would choose to obtain the treasure through “trading”?

Similarly, when a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is confronted with a “trade” proposed by a God Transforming cultivator who is many times stronger than them, would they dare not agree? If the other party breaks the agreement and turns a blind eye, what can they do? All they can do is swallow their rage; they might even count themselves lucky if the other party chooses not to end their life.

If the trading parties are in unequal states, the fairness of the trade is out of the question.

But today, in the Five Elders Organization and even the whole Xuanhuang World, this situation has been completely changed.

It is because of the existence of various contracts.

The God-Soul Pact signed by the monks of the Five Elders Organization, the Business Pact used by Li Fan many times, and the special gold contract that can be used to buy and sell techniques…

This omnipresent mysterious force could properly restrict a cultivator.

Even Integration Cultivators can’t resist the power of contracts. Once signed, they must be observed.

Under the promotion of contracts, order was established.

If you say that the Tianxuan Mirror, Yan Fajue are the foundation of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, then the [Contracts] are the lifeline of the Five Elders Organization.

Now let’s talk about “Divine Soul Points”. The essence of Divine Soul Points is a certain special energy hidden deep in the Divine Soul by the power of a contract.

Aside from their usual use for trading, they have another special use. That is to use Divine Soul Points to open the [Immortal Sect’s Armory].

In it, various techniques, classics, and treasures originating from ancient Immortal Sects are as numerous as the sea, all of which can be exchanged at will.

What’s even more worth mentioning is that within the Immortal Sect’s Armory, there are many real illusions of various sects from ancient times.

The power creating these real illusions is very similar to the power of the Fallen Immortal Realm. There, cultivators can travel around many ancient sects that are already extinct. There also exist many images of ancient cultivators, most of whom do not possess their own divine consciousness and are pure shells. But when they actually fight, their power is almost indistinguishable from an actual person.

Monks of Five Elders can spend Divine Soul Points to constantly learn and improve their own combat power by practicing with these ancient cultivators. China is connected, and within the [Immortal Sect’s Armory], all injuries don’t affect their real bodies, only causing minor scratches to the divine soul. What’s more amazing is that this divine soul injury can also be healed by consuming Divine Soul Points.

Theoretically speaking, as long as there are enough Divine Soul Points, even a mortal who has just started cultivating can become extremely powerful after many fights and killings.

With the God-Soul Pact as a restriction, the Five Elders don’t need to oppress the common cultivators’ battle power like the Immortal Alliance does.

Of course, all of this is not for free, and cultivators need to strive for themselves.

At this moment, at the edge of Undefined Province near the White Mist Barrier, Lu Fan is looking at various [True Boats of Universal Virtue]. He can’t help but be very tempted. But since he’s not a member of the Five Elders, he has no Divine Soul Points and can only watch enviously.

At this moment, a hawker came up and struck up a conversation: “The two of you, you should be from the Immortal Alliance but haven’t joined our Five Elders Organization yet?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan’s complexion slightly changed. He vigilantly scanned his surroundings, lowered his voice, nodded and said: “Exactly. May I know your name? And how did you figure it out?”

The hawker brought the two to his stall and said, “You two don’t have to be so nervous. My name is Gu Binliang, and I am in the business of buying and selling.”

“As for how I figured it out…” Gu Binliang smiled slightly: “Whether or not you have signed the God-Soul Pact gives off a completely different feeling. I happened to hear that a group of cultivators from the Immortal Alliance were captured recently and are being taught to reform. Thus I had this guess.”

Seeing that Lu Fan looked a little nervous, Gu Binliang said: “In fact, for you Immortal Alliance cultivators, most of us members of the Five Elders Organization have no hostility. After all, in the past, there have been many cultivators who were captured, reformed, and enlightened by the reality, and eventually became members of our Five Elders Organization.”

“And these people are more loyal than the average members!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan’s face turned sullen.

However, Gu Binliang was a keen observer. He immediately skipped this topic and asked instead, “Are you interested in the [True Boat of Universal Virtue] but are distressed because you don’t have Divine Soul Points?”

“Indeed.” Lu Fan nodded.

“That is not a concern. If you don’t have Divine Soul Points, you must have some standard spirit stones with you”, Gu Binliang said with a smile.

“Indeed, I do have those,” Lu Fan replied with some surprise. However, a trace of doubt flashed across his face, “Does your Five Elders Organization also use these standard spirit stones?”

“Ha ha, you’re joking. Since they’re standard spirit stones, naturally they are jointly manufactured and recognized by both the Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Organization. But our ordinary Five Elder cultivators don’t use them, and exchanging them for Divine Soul Points is a bit of a hassle. So they don’t accept them.”

“But to me, it doesn’t matter. As a real businessman, I need a considerable amount of standard spirit stones for transactions,” Gu Binliang explained.

“A real businessman…” Lu Fan immediately understood his meaning, “Then please get me a [True Boat of Universal Virtue].”

Gu Binliang made a sweeping gesture, and dozens of miniature flying boats suddenly appeared in front of Lu Fan.

He enthusiastically explained the differences between them to Lu Fan.

In no time, they had completed the transaction in a pleasant manner.

Just as Lu Fan was about to leave, Gu Binliang stopped him: “Do you have any spare items on you? It’s very inconvenient to travel in Five Elder’s territory without Divine Soul Points. I can exchange Divine Soul Points with you.”

Saying this, he took out a human-shaped statue that he couldn’t clearly make out.

“This is a [Statue of World-Manifest Heavenly Venerate], which can be used to store Divine Soul Points. Even if you’re not a member of the Five Elders, you can still use it to trade with other cultivators.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan’s heart was moved.

He immediately began to rummage through his storage ring. Gu Binliang was open to all offers; as long as Lu Fan was willing to sell, he would buy directly at a generous price.

When the amount of Divine Soul Points stored in the Statue of the World-Manifest Heavenly Venerate reached fifty thousand, Lu Fan finally couldn’t find anything else he was willing to sell.

“If you have any needs in the future, you can come and find me again.” Gu Binliang said humorously and handed over a Communication Talisman.
