The Immortal Sect Elders discuss managing outside offers and requests, while Sect Leader Wen Ping announces an upcoming duel at the Thousand Crafts Sect. Wen Ping then departs with Long Ye and Long Yue to establish the Purple Treasure Pavilion, expanding it to ninety branches across major domains. During this expansion, Long Tianhua of the Long Family publicly humbles himself before Wen Ping, leading to Long Tianhua sealing his own cultivation.

Northern region of You Country.

Chaotic Wind Divine Domain.

Jialan City, one of the ten great cities.

When the sign of the Purple Treasure Pavilion lit up in Jialan City, those who had long known about its existence through Immortal Daily and word of mouth flocked to the street where the Purple Treasure Pavilion was located, as if dry wood had encountered a raging fire.

It was not for any other reason but just to see when the Purple Treasure Pavilion would open. Meanwhile, to queue up; they were not unaware of the rules of the Purple Treasure Pavilion.

Either queue up early in the morning.

Or rely on your reputation.

Rely on reputation?

Who knows when one could gain the eligibility to purchase from the Purple Treasure Pavilion.

So they adhered to one strict principle, that is, to queue up, leading the entire street to be crowded with people, many of whom have even taken up residence on this street. People went to great lengths to fight for a spot at the front of the line.

Spending money.

A lot of money.

Or using fists.

The one at the front was directly a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted.

Meanwhile, above the thick Sea of Clouds where no one noticed, familiar faces, all renowned Six-Spin Vortex Divine Artisans, appeared.

Each of them, otherwise hard to invite even with great sums of money, collectively appeared in this far-flung Jialan City, every one of them secretly standing amidst the Sea of Clouds, watching the scene unfolding in front of the Purple Treasure Pavilion.

The one leading them was the Sect Leader of the Thousand Crafts Sect, Wunian Guixin, who was shrouded in legend despite his elusive presence.

No matter whether it’s the other members of the Thousand Crafts Sect or Wunian Guixin himself—the most powerful Six-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan on the surface of You Country—most expressions were solemn despite some variance among a few.

Next to Wunian Guixin, an elderly man with white hair anxiously said, "What we feared most has come true. After this battle, the Purple Treasure Pavilion has begun unprecedented expansion, spreading across the entire You Country within days."

"Although it hasn’t entered the Central Divine Domain yet, posing no immediate threat to the core of our Thousand Crafts Sect, our status within the Six Great Domains will plummet. Over time, we will become like the Zeming Palace of the past." Another Six-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan spoke in a deep voice.

A slightly younger Six-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan, face seized by anger, continued, "Sect Leader, we have no retreat left; we must fight. As long as you defeat Zi Ran in the Vortex Duel, I refuse to believe the Purple Treasure Pavilion can continue its shameless expansion. No matter how strong the Immortal Sect is, once it interfered with the Vortex Divine Artisan Realm, it must abide by its rules, or else it will become the laughing stock of the entire world!"

Immediately someone responded, "Indeed, Sect Leader, as long as you defeat Zi Ran, we can certainly thwart the expansion of the Purple Treasure Pavilion. As long as the title of the top Vortex Divine Artisan in You Country remains, the Thousand Crafts Sect is still the world’s top vortex divine artisan sect!"

Yet no matter what those around said.

Wunian Guixin remained silent, his muddled gaze watching the bustling scene in front of the Purple Treasure Pavilion, a sense of desolation welling up in his heart.

After a long while, Wunian Guixin slowly spoke up.

"Win?"

"How could we win?"

"The Vortex Maps and Vortex Killing Qis we crafted aren’t of the same level compared to those of the Purple Treasure Pavilion."

"Moreover, even if we win, what would that change?"

"The strength of Immortal Sect was enough to kill the ancestral elder of the Royal Family; would they even spare a glance for our little Thousand Crafts Sect?"

The white-haired elder beside Wunian Guixin immediately panicked, "Sect Leader, you’re not going to give up, are you? What will happen to the Thousand Crafts Sect then?"

"With Purple Treasure Pavilion’s unstoppable momentum, the outcome of the Vortex Duel is already insignificant. Losing would ruin the reputation of the Thousand Crafts Sect. Winning would mean being wiped out by the Immortal Sect..." Wunian Guixin suddenly turned away, no longer looking in the direction of the Purple Treasure Pavilion.

The white-haired old man quickly added, "If Immortal Sect dares to do that, they won’t fear the ridicule of the whole world..."

Before he could finish, Wunian Guixin interrupted him, "With the Immortal Daily around, they can control the narrative however they wish. Let’s return, we have seen what we needed to see, but don’t worry, I’ll handle everything."

After speaking, Wunian Guixin disappeared into the Sea of Clouds like a shooting star, and the others followed one after another, their moods complex.

As night fell.

Chen Xie hurriedly rushed to the Tingyu Pavilion.

Wen Ping was refining Primordial Vast Power, and upon Chen Xie’s sudden visit, Wen Ping directly asked, "What’s so urgent?"

Chen Xie replied, "Sect Leader, I just received news that half an hour ago, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Crafts Sect announced that due to an error in crafting a Vortex Artifact, his arms were blown off! He cannot participate in tomorrow’s Vortex Duel, so it has been postponed, postponed for three years, because it will take at least three years for his arms to fully heal!"

Upon hearing this news, Wen Ping chuckled silently.

What a coincidence?

I find it hard to believe.

"Looks like he’s scared, probably purposely disabled his arms to avoid it." Though somewhat speechless, it was understandable.

After the battle a few days ago, no matter how high the Thousand Crafts Sect thought of itself, it wouldn’t dare to clash with the Immortal Sect again.

After all, their backer has been toppled by the Immortal Sect.

Chen Xie remarked angrily, "That old thing is so shameless. Tomorrow is the day of the Vortex Duel, I’ve promoted it quite a bit in the Immortal Daily over the past couple of days. The people of You Country are eager to witness this Vortex Duel like dry wood set on fire."

"Since he’s chickened out, that’s great. Report this matter in tomorrow’s Immortal Daily headline and discuss with Zi Ran to begin recruiting Vortex Divine Artisans if anyone from Thousand Crafts Sect is willing to come over, I won’t pursue past grievances, and will treat them with courtesy." This is the best time to poach people from Thousand Crafts Sect.

"Understood, Sect Leader!" Chen Xie nodded, though still somewhat disgruntled, "That old thing sure has a hand in cruelty, disabling his arms just to avoid this Vortex Duel. Isn’t he afraid of becoming the world’s laughing stock?"

"Between death and face, one must make a choice. Alright, get on with your work." Dismissing Chen Xie, Wen Ping closed his eyes and continued to refine Primordial Vast Power.

He had a premonition, success was close!

In just a few days.

After Chen Xie left, he quickly took this news to Zi Ran, who was preparing intensely. After Zi Ran was informed, he paused for a while before murmuring, "Three years? Do you think you really have three years?"

Not long ago, the Thousand Crafts Sect assisted the Royal Family against the Immortal Sect and even issued bounties for its members, and now they want to hide?

Zi Ran added, "Elder Chen Xie, help me publish this in the Immortal Daily, give Thousand Crafts Sect seven days, those willing to leave will not be pursued. Those unwilling Vortex Divine Artisans will be blacklisted permanently from the Purple Treasure Pavilion, unable to purchase its products, and barred from cultivating Vortex New Dao. I’ll dismantle the Thousand Crafts Sect without shedding a drop of blood, let that old fellow understand he doesn’t really have three years!"

Chen Xie nodded.

After Chen Xie left, the news that Wunian Guixin has avoided the battle quickly spread within the Sect, making everyone somewhat disappointed.

They thought they’d witness a good show.

Who would have imagined that the leading Six-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan of You Country, Wunian Guixin, would rather self-harm his own hands than lose.

How shameless.

Following this, the next day when Immortal Daily broadcast Zi Ran’s words throughout the Six Great Domains, the Thousand Crafts Sect became a laughing stock overnight.

In just one day, all branches of the Thousand Crafts Sect, along with the formerly esteemed wherever they went, Vortex Divine Artisans, became objects of ridicule rather than respect. When anyone saw a member of the Thousand Crafts Sect, they’d let out two jeers.

Even those who didn’t dare to jeer, would gossip madly behind their backs.

Wen Ping, upon learning this situation, wasn’t surprised, having anticipated this when establishing the Immortal Daily.

This is the power of media.

Especially in a vast world where information dissemination is not very effective. Also on this day, Wen Ping had Zi Ran start inducting people into the Purple Treasure Pavilion, while opening the Purple Treasure Pavilion across the board, simultaneously using several Double Special Vortex Maps he found unsatisfactory to help Zi Ran promote the Purple Treasure Pavilion.

After all was arranged, Wen Ping devoted himself fully to refining Primordial Vast Power, sensing that the progress was edging closer to success.

Finally.

On the third day after the simultaneous opening of ninety Purple Treasure Pavilions, Wen Ping successfully refined this strand of Primordial Vast Power, officially stepping into Half-Step Primordial Vast.

He stood at the top bracket of Heaven-Gazing Gorge.

Unlike his previous breakthroughs, this time Wen Ping felt not the surge of vein qi rushing through the meridians towards a new Meridian Gate.

But a transformation.
