Chapter 2956: The Trade Association of Five Regions
The Lightning Saint Monarch, one of the eight great Saint Monarchs of the Saints’ World, had died. The news of this death was covered up as a great secret. Apart from the ancestral elders and Lei Shiguang, there was not another person that knew.
Afterwards, the two ancestral elders continued as usual, sitting at the entrance of the divine hall like statues, putting on an act like they were sticking to their duties and watching over the Lightning Saint Monarch.
Lei Shiguang continued with secluded cultivation. Everything seemed no different from before.
At this very moment, across the millions of clansmen of the Lightning God clan, no one was aware that the current Lightning God clan could not even be considered as an archaean clan anymore.
……
The Ice Pole Plane of the forty-nine great planes of the Saints’s World lived up to its name. It was a plane covered in ice and snow all year round. Looking from above, the entire plane was snow-white.
This place was basically a world of ice and snow through and through!
At this moment, Jian Chen paced through a bustling city on the Ice Pole Plane leisurely, holding a jade slip in his hand. He had just purchased the jade slip from a store for a great price, which recorded some information regarding the Ice Pole Plane.
Of course, this so-called high price was only applicable to regular cultivators. In Jian Chen’s eyes, the jade slip was basically nothing.
“It sure is the jade slip of the highest level. The information inside is very complete. Although it is missing some secrets, it’s basically given me a good understanding about the situation on the Ice Pole Plane.”
After glancing through the information in the jade slip, a formation within the jade slip seemed to be activated. As a result, the entire jade slip was reduced to powder in Jian Chen’s hands.
“The greatest organisation on the Ice Pole Plane is a sect called the Snow sect, which happens to be secretly managed by the greatest empire of the Ice Pole Plane, the Snow Empire.”
“The second greatest organisation is a sect by the name of the Chill Wind sect.”
“The third is the Heavenly Crane clan.”
“Ranked fourth is the Hefeng clan, but didn’t I hear that all three of their ancestors had died last time? Without any Grand Prime ancestors left, how are they still ranked as a peak clan? The Hefeng clan hasn’t actually been dropped from the list?”
“Looks like the information in the jade slip is a little out of date.” Jian Chen silently digested the information about the Ice Pole Plane. From the jade slip, he had also learnt a little about the Moon God Hall, except it was very incomplete. It did not touch on any secretive information, but at least he knew where the Moon God Hall was located now.
As for the Snow Goddess Hall, the jade slip did not even mention it!
“My priority right now is to recover chaotic essence blood. I need to return to my peak condition as soon as possible. I can only continue with everything else once I’m at peak condition. The largest trade association on the Ice Pole Plane exists within the Snow Empire under the Snow sect’s control. If I want to buy large quantities of God Tier pills, the Snow Empire is without a doubt the best place to visit.” Jian Chen calculated on the inside. He still refused to show his true appearance, maintaining a disguise with his mask and concealing his presence. After grasping his bearings, he immediately flew off towards the imperial capital of the Snow Empire.
The Ice Pole Plane was very large, several times larger than the Cloud Plane. However, with Jian Chen’s current strength and his Laws of Space at the Eighth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime, even crossing the entire plane would not take too long.
As a result, under his Laws of Space, he arrived at the imperial capital of the Snow Empire very soon.
Not only was the Trade Association of Five Regions the largest trade association on the Ice Pole Plane, but its businesses spanned the entire plane and even reached planes beyond the Ice Pole Plane.
Of course, the Trade Association of Five Regions would never have been able to grow to such an extent without the support of a great organisation.
The greatest organisation on the Ice Pole Plane, the Snow sect, or the Snow Empire in other words, were the ones that ran the Trade Association of Five Regions.
Today, the headquarters of the Trade Association of Five Regions in the imperial city of the Snow Empire welcomed a cold-faced old man with a head full of peppered hair.
The old man concealed his presence, but even though he did not give off a single hint of his cultivation, his gaze seemed extremely sharp like swords. Even Godkings felt their eyes ache when they met his gaze.
In the headquarters of the Trade Association of Five Regions, all the attendants possessed extraordinary insight, so they could tell that this old man was anything but simple. As a result, they received him proactively, smiling wide and asking enthusiastically, “Senior, is there anything I can help you with?”
“I want to discuss a great deal with you, except it’s probably beyond what you can handle, so you better bring the manager of this place over instead,” the old man said hoarsely. He only glanced at the attendant casually, but the great pressure from his eyes shook up the attendant’s heart, making him stagger backwards.
The old man was obviously Jian Chen in disguise.
“Yes, yes, yes. Senior, I’ll go contact my superiors right now. Please go upstairs to rest, senior, so that our Trade Association of Five Regions can receive you properly,” The attendant immediately bowed his head and invited Jian Chen upstairs.
Very soon, Jian Chen was invited into a guest room. A hunch-backed old man was already waiting for him there. As soon as he saw Jian Chen, he received him in a jolly manner. “My surname is Qi. I’m one of the vice association leaders of the Trade Association of Five Regions. Greetings to you. May I ask what great deal you’d like to discuss with our Trade Association of Five Regions?”
“Vice association leader?” The old man glanced at vice association leader Qi and showed contempt. He said, “And I had thought a vice association leader of the mighty Trade Association of Five Regions would be a Primordial realm expert at the very least, but looks like you’re just a Godking. You have no right to discuss anything with me. You better call the Primordial realm experts behind your Trade Association of Five Regions over to discuss with me.” With that, Jian Chen unleashed a powerful presence in a flash.
The presence was fleeting, having arrived and left in the blink of an eye, but when his presence appeared, the entire trade association shook gently.
Vice association leader Qi’s face changed, as the headquarters of the Trade Association of Five Regions was actually a low quality god artifact. At this moment, he actually received a message from the spirit of the divine hall. The man before him was actually a Chaotic Prime!
“A Chaotic Prime!” Vice association leader Qi was shocked. Even among a peak organisation like the Snow sect, Chaotic Primes were figures on par with great elders. They possessed great and lofty status.
He responded extremely quickly, immediately smiling apologetically. “Please calm down, senior, please calm down. After all, we’re just a trade association. Business comes first, so the requirement for cultivation isn’t too high. However, with your esteemed status, I truly do not have the right to receive you, senior, so please wait a moment. I’ll go contact the association leader right now and have him head over in person.”
