Cosmic Trading System

"Boom——"

Not far from the earth, at the space connection point with the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm, a series of powerful auras emerged out of nowhere following a tremor in space.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten unparalleled powerhouses were standing across the void.

"Master!"

"Grand Master!"

"Elder Master!"

"Sect Leader..."

The remaining members of the Immortal World, reduced to only a few dozen, greeted them with a sense of shock and jubilation upon seeing this scene.

Of the five or six hundred people there initially, only fifty or sixty remained. With further losses, only a few remained. The level of annihilation they experienced was brutal. Seeing their seniors arrive gave them a sense of reassurance, as if they had found their mainstay.

"You say a powerful deity appeared on Earth? Hmph! I want to see for myself what kind of deity dares to confront the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm!" A middle-aged man with a scholarly air glanced at everyone, immediately angered, and scoffed, speaking out.

More than ten people from their Golden Immortal Gate descended, and yet only one Level 6 Peak Cultivator remained. The two Level 8 Peak Cultivators and one Initial Level 9 Cultivator all fell. Considering even a dog owner should be mindful of who handles his dog, let alone top-tier members of their sect, how could he not be angered?

"Hehe, through thousands of years, gods have held the honor of being Immortal Venerables. This mundane deity really has quite the audacity!"

"Truly deserving of death!"

The other powerhouses beside the middle-aged man also burst into cold laughter.

"All of them are Level 10 Cultivators, and not just ordinary ones..."

Seeing this, Lin Yun's face paled slightly, murmuring to himself.

At this moment, he had no doubt about the words of Little White and Little Blue's grandmother. But these Level 10 Cultivators could annihilate them many times over, as the power of the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm truly was unfathomable.

A sense of worry emerged in Lin Yun's heart.

As per the descriptions on the Cosmic Trading System, among cultivators of the same level, deities were generally weaker and stood no match for other cultivators. Were Little White and Little Blue's grandmother any match for these people?

"Boom—"

Right then, several Level 10 Cultivators made their move. Terrifying forces emerged from their hands, quickly heading towards Earth.

"Chasing Mountain Whip!"

Just then, a female voice rang out, resonating like a melody from deep within a valley.

"Boom——"

At the top of the Qingyun Building, Lin Yun witnessed a pillar flying towards the sky from within the Elder Lord's Platform near the Sanqing Palace. It emitted a brilliance of tens of thousands of zhangs and, like a meteor, surged towards those forces.

"Boom——"

The clash of the two sides' forces resulted in an earth-shattering noise. The terrifying forces unleashed by the powerhouses of the Immortal World and the Heavenly Realm were quickly neutralized.

"Sanqing Palace, Elder Lord's Platform, that single pillar, could it be——"

Lin Yun took a light breath.

True enough, Little White and Little Blue's grandmother had connections with Sanqing Palace. The Sanqing Palace and the Elder Lord's Platform were known to be the Taoist founder Elder Lord's dojo. Could their grandmother be related to the Elder Lord?

Deities lacked physical bodies and could only survive by refining external objects. A deity's strength significantly depended on the object it refined.

Due to significant constraints regarding the birth, survival, and departure of deities, most of them, given their lack of fortune, could only refine lands and mountains or even mere idols and paintings. Therefore, their strength was much lower than that of other cultivators of the same level, and they struggled to survive.

However, some deities did have fortuitous encounters and obtained treasures for refinement.

Innate magical treasures existed, with countless principles of Heaven and Earth. Places where these principles condensed often housed such treasures, which possessed various mystical abilities.

Postnatal magical treasures were also available, created and refined by humans. If refined by a powerful individual, they could also possess formidable abilities.

It was said that there were deities who could sweep across Heaven and Earth with just one treasure, achieving victory in every battle and attack.

Chasing Mountain Whip... Was this the magical treasure of Little White and Little Blue's grandmother?

Lin Yun pondered.

It could actually clash with the power exerted by several Level 10 Cultivators...

Lin Yun began to have some faith in their grandmother.

"Chasing Mountain Whip! This is the Chasing Mountain Whip!"

"You can actually wield the Chasing Mountain Whip, who exactly are you?"

Elsewhere, the strong cultivators of the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm, upon witnessing this scene, expressed their shock and awe.

Several strong individuals from both realms retreated several steps in fear.

In their minds, the Chasing Mountain Whip was incredibly famous.

"Did you not expect that the boy of yore would grow so much? You ask me who I am? You used to pray to me day and night, now, you ask me who I am?" the beautiful woman's likeness appeared outside Earth, suspended in the starry sky. She looked at these strong cultivators of the Immortal and Heavenly realms, smiled faintly, and said.

"Mother… Madam…"

A cultivator from the Immortal World turned pale in fear, knelt in mid-air, and heavily kowtowed, his voice trembling.

"The teachings of the saints state that humans are the foundation and leaders of all living beings. Living between heaven and earth is not easy, and the strong should not hurt the weak at will. Now, you treat nearly ten billion human lives as expendable, killing and injuring them at your whim. What kind of crime is this?" said the beautiful woman lightly.

"Jier is deserving of ten thousand deaths… deserving of ten thousand deaths… please punish me, madam…" the strong cultivator from the Immortal World repeatedly kowtowed, tears of penitence rolling down his cheeks as he stammered.

Watching this scene, Lin Yun was profoundly shocked.

Madam?

What was happening?

Little White's and Little Blue's grandmother turned out to be their madam?

A strong cultivator from the Immortal World, a tenth-level cultivator, was actually scared into kneeling and asking for punishment?

"Master…"

"The head of the Golden Immortal Gate…"

Seeing the behavior of the Immortal World cultivator, the other strong individuals from the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm were also startled, while the weaker ones were in disbelief.

"The Chasing Mountain Whip... the madam… could she be… the Mother Saint?"

"I've seen this image before, no, I've worshiped it before... Is she... the mother of the First Saint?"

Only the strong individuals had a moment of realization, but they too found it hard to believe.

Mother Saint... the mother of the First Saint... as her title suggests, she was the mother of a saint!

But not just any saint's mother, she was the mother of the First Saint, the ancestor of Taoism!

It was said that all the other saints, and countless mighty individuals, were disciples or descendants of the First Saint, showcasing their illustrious reputation!

The Chasing Mountain Whip, which the First Saint, Elder Lord, used to educate disciples and shape the world, was later placed near his mother's tomb. Nobody from the secular world dared to take it after the creation of the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm.

When the saint was born, the Mother Saint fell. The tomb of the Mother Saint was worshipped by countless immortals, yet it did not give birth to any spirit…

Everyone thought that the saint did not want the tomb to birth a spirit!

This was easy to understand because once the Mother Saint had fallen, even if the tomb were to birth a spirit, it would not be her, but just a manifestation of their worship and reverence!

But looking at the situation now, had the tomb of the Mother Saint given birth to a spirit, and has it grown this powerful?

Dominating the Chasing Mountain Whip!

No matter whether she was the actual Mother Saint, since she was the spirit birthed from the tomb of the Mother Saint and took on the form of the Mother Saint, she could not be insulted...

Thinking this, all the strong individuals from the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm were filled with dread.

They never expected that such an incident would occur in their descent to the lower world.

For a moment, they were unsure of what to do.

"Now, who are the most powerful beings in the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm?" asked the beautiful woman.

"The Immortal World and Heavenly Realm are now governed by eighteen emperors and thirteen Celestials, but they all generally stay in the outermost realms for closed-door cultivation and don't handle mundane matters.

The actual affairs are overseen by thirty-six major factions, seventy-two middle-level organizations, and hundreds of minor factions…" The strong individual from the Immortal World who called himself "Jier" relayed everything without any hesitation.

Subsequently, Lin Yun found out that these people were just from the minor factions of the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm, and not even all of them.

This further amazed him at the strength of the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm, as just a few minor factions were incredibly powerful. How much more formidable were the seventy-two middle-level organizations, thirty-six major factions, not to mention the eighteen emperors and thirteen Celestials?

"The actions you pursued on your own have caused more than ten billion human lives to perish. If you know your wrongs, kneel here and admit your mistakes. Jier, you pass the message back to the Immortal World and Heavenly Realm, and have the eighteen emperors and thirteen Celestials speak with me…" said the beautiful woman calmly.
