223: Chapter 223 Rich and Powerful
The main reason was that 9527 saw Li Daoxuan produce so many Spirit Crystals without even changing his expression, which showed that the other party was wealthy and generous.
With someone so wealthy and generous as a partner, he believed his future business would not be lacking.
As for whether Li Daoxuan was an expert from another Star Domain, he could no longer concern himself with that, because the other party had given him too much.
Li Daoxuan naturally understood the other party's intention. He did not refuse, instead taking out his own Jade Talisman and handing it over.
This was a Jade Talisman at the ordinary Spirit Treasure Rank, capable of transmitting messages across planets.
Upon seeing this item, 9527 displayed a look of surprise, as this item was truly too rare; there were only a few families in the entire Heavenly Dao Star Domain that possessed one.
Taking the largest factions in the Heavenly Dao Star Domain, the Tian Family and the Dao Alliance, for example, only a few people in their hands possessed a Spirit Treasure Rank Jade Talisman.
When they sent messages, they usually relied on the Teleportation Array they controlled; after all, this thing was simply too rare.
Li Daoxuan watched his reaction and sighed incessantly in his heart. It seemed that the Cultivation World of the Heavenly Dao Star Domain was not wealthy either.
Whatever he produced casually, the other party was amazed by it, and the other party was supposed to be a knowledgeable intelligence agent.
The Heavenly Dao Star Domain was not exactly poor; it was just that most resources were held by those powerful factions, and other factions could not obtain many resources.
Take the Organization, for instance; it was a massive intelligence Organization. A lot of resources passed through their hands every day, but those were basically all dispersed.
Opportunities to receive three thousand Spirit Crystals at once like this were rare, especially since all resources would eventually go to their leader, and then be distributed to them according to their remuneration.
Although the Organization was described as an Organization, apart from the core members, the others were relatively loose.
There were also quite a few peripheral members. 9527 was a core member; only core members had such identification numbers.
The Organization was divided into three Ranks: Bai, Xiao, and Sheng, with nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people in each, and every identification number was hereditary.
If these nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine numbers were all gathered, they would be a powerful force in the Cultivation World.
This was because the character "Sheng" represented Soul Transformation, the character "Xiao" represented Spirit Wandering, and the character "Bai" represented Body Integration.
As for existences that transcended these three characters, they must be at the Mahayana stage or above.
Therefore, in the Heavenly Dao Star Domain, the Organization could be considered a massive entity.
Although it was slightly inferior to those top-tier factions, it had been passed down for a long time.
It could be said that the Organization, along with the Tian Family and the Dao Alliance, were the three major factions that had been passed down from that era.
Li Daoxuan scanned the contents inside and discovered a complete Star Map, causing him to smile involuntarily.
The planets recorded in this Star Map were quite detailed, even including Asura Planet, although it was just a small planet without a name.
Looking at the location of Asura Planet, Li Daoxuan sighed slightly. In the remote northeast corner of the Heavenly Dao Star Domain, there were only three habitable planets; the largest was Asura Planet, with two smaller planets beside it.
With his cultivation, it would take thirty years to travel from Tianfeng Planet to Asura Planet, which was not considered very long.
It also recorded specific routes, marking various dangerous places.
As far as this Star Map was concerned, Li Daoxuan inwardly exclaimed that the three thousand Spirit Crystals were well spent.
Putting away the Storage Ring, Li Daoxuan asked, "Might you tell me about the Heaven-Reaching Tower?"
The Heaven-Reaching Tower was not a secret. Out of consideration for the three thousand Spirit Crystals, 9527 did not hide anything and told him everything he knew.
The Heaven-Reaching Tower had descended here three hundred million years ago. At that time, it destroyed most of the planets in the star system surrounding Tongtian Planet, and many Cultivators died in the process.
Li Daoxuan also identified the location of the Heaven-Reaching Tower from that Star Map. It was also in a remote area, but it was much better than Asura Planet.
The planets closest to this one were White Tiger Planet and Tianfeng Planet; these two planets should have been among the ones that survived.
Perhaps because the Heaven-Reaching Tower's arrival had damaged both planets, there were not many resources on them.
There was a reason why White Tiger Planet was more prosperous than Tianfeng Planet.
After Tianfeng Planet became his territory, he did not like outsiders coming to Tianfeng Planet. Since he was from the Tian Family, naturally, no one would dare to provoke him, so not many people came to Tianfeng Planet.
Of course, it was impossible for him to block the Teleportation Array on Tianfeng Planet; after all, that was also a source of income.
Therefore, very few outsiders lived on Tianfeng Planet; most were just passing through.
In fact, although Tian Feng did not like people coming to Tianfeng Planet, his personality was not overbearing. Having been a good-for-nothing since childhood, he was just a spoiled rich kid.
He hadn't done many bad things. After all, this was the Cultivation World. If he encountered those brash fools who didn't fear the Tian Family and they killed him outright, he would have nowhere to seek justice.
After such a huge event occurred, people from various major factions would definitely come to investigate, and that was how they discovered the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
After learning the purpose of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, the major factions originally intended to seal off the area. However, as more and more people found out, protests were constant, and quite a few of their properties were even secretly sabotaged.
By this time, all the factions knew that they could not monopolize the Heaven-Reaching Tower and could only choose to share it.
After millions of years of uproar, the matter of the Heaven-Reaching Tower only gradually calmed down after most Cultivators had obtained benefits.
What one obtained from challenges inside depended entirely on luck. If one was lucky, they could get things useful to themselves; if unlucky, they would obtain other good items.
But regardless, the Heaven-Reaching Tower had increased the overall strength of the entire Heavenly Dao Star Domain significantly; in fact, quite a few factions only began to rise after the appearance of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
Because the Tian Family and the Dao Alliance had once obtained an Immortal Artifact in the Heaven-Reaching Tower, the Heaven-Reaching Tower was also very popular at the time.
Even Cultivators from other Star Domains wanted to enter the Heaven-Reaching Tower, but they were all driven back by the Heavenly Dao Star Domain.
Later on, the resources appearing inside the Heaven-Reaching Tower became increasingly common, which was why the major factions of the Heavenly Dao Star Domain did not continue to block it. After all, they couldn't stop others from having even a sip of soup.
Although the Cultivators who entered later did not obtain many good things, occasionally, a few would still appear.
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan felt a bit disappointed. He was three hundred million years too late; if only he had been born three hundred million years earlier.
However, he quickly let it go. He had plenty of treasures in his hands, so he did not care about the little bit in the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
What he cared about was whether the living beings inside the Heaven-Reaching Tower were real. Could he absorb their essence, energy, and spirit to improve his cultivation?
If he could absorb his way up, he might even break through the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth floor, reach the legendary ten-thousandth floor, and thereby step into the Immortal Realm.
Of course, all of this was just a legend; no one had truly stepped foot on the nine-thousandth floor, let alone above the ten-thousandth floor.
After hearing the information he wanted, Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Many thanks, Brother 9527. I am planning to go and challenge the Heaven-Reaching Tower. Let us part ways here, shall we?"
9527 had already received the resources he wanted. At this moment, he was thinking about rushing back to Cultivate and breaking through to the Body Integration Stage at an early date; he was hoping Li Daoxuan would leave immediately.
Now that Li Daoxuan had said this, he hurriedly replied, "In that case, I will not disturb you, Senior. If you have any needs in the future, Senior, you can come directly to this Junior."
After all, the other party possessed a Spirit Treasure Rank Jade Talisman, which could transmit messages across planets.
If the other party wanted to find him, they only needed to send a message; however, for him to find the other party was extremely difficult, as his own Jade Talisman was just an ordinary item.
