Chapter 1681 1685: 3,000 Things You Must Do in the Skyless Realm
"Oh, right, I need to remind you that this Heavenly Pride Order must be bound with your Soul Power before it can start gathering fortune for you; otherwise, no matter how much fortune you have, it's all wasted."
"Thank you," Zhang Menglong immediately took out his Heavenly Pride Order and stamped his Soul Imprint on it.
"Alright, your three free questions have been asked, now for the remaining questions..." Yang Sande rubbed his hands.
"How do you charge here?" Zhang Menglong saw a lot of value in Yang Sande, at least when he was in the Yanlan Empire, no one had ever told him that the Heavenly Pride Order also functioned as a reputation recorder. Although the price for buying information here was quite high, it was definitely worth the money.
"10 million Divine Crystals per question, it seems that the elixir you just gave, I can give you a 20% discount!" To Yang Sande, a Saint Grade Elixir was rare, and exchanging it for just three questions and his time was a huge profit. He even felt a bit uneasy in his heart.
"I'm not someone who likes to carry money," Zhang Menglong once again took out a small box. "Let's use elixirs instead. Take a look at this one, how many questions is it worth?"
"You have more Saint Grade Elixirs?" Yang Sande was almost ready to kneel before Zhang Menglong. "No need for more! No need for more! You've given too much, with just these two elixirs, you can ask anything, I can tell you everything!"
Zhang Menglong underestimated the value of the Saint Grade Elixirs. After all, to him, a Saint Grade Elixir was just a bunch of herbs and the time it took to take a dump. Higher quality Saint Grade Elixirs didn't even take more time than a full-body spa for him; in his mind, it wasn't anything valuable.
However, for others, it was an absolute treasure. Just consider how back then, Qing Kong and Lan Xin used 8 billion Divine Crystals to buy a Saint Grade weapon, and that wasn't even including the material costs.
If a Saint Grade weapon were to be sold, even the least valuable one could easily fetch over 10 billion Divine Crystals, with the price potentially higher at auctions.
While elixirs are slightly less valuable than weapons, a single Saint Grade Elixir has a base price of two to three billion, and for certain special groups, this price could double.
In the Skyless Realm, if you manipulate the auction a bit, it could sell for over 5 billion Divine Crystals.
Two elixirs could feasibly be worth 10 billion, and to match the value of these two elixirs by selling intelligence, he'd have to sell a thousand questions.
"Haha, then I'll continue asking, are there any taboos in the Skyless Realm?"
"There are too many," Yang Sande said, "murder and arson, deceit and kidnapping, they're child's play in this place. As long as you don't offend those top-level forces, no one cares about you. The number of corpses collected daily from the Skyless Realm is enough to fill numerous cities."
"Is there anything that absolutely cannot be violated?"
"Actually, the taboos in the Skyless Realm are set by the people in power. You should know the core of power here consists of 27 organizations and the leaders of three of those organizations. Their rules are the rules of this place."
"Makes sense."
"First of all, anyone entering this place has to pay a protection fee, no matter who you are. As long as you've left the Skyless Realm and come back, you must pay this fee. It's not much, 100 Divine Crystals."
"So cheap?"
"Hahaha, do you really think 100 Divine Crystals is a lot? It's not much, but is it little? An ordinary person might not earn 100 Divine Crystals in a lifetime, but if you can't even come up with 100 Divine Crystals, you have no business being here."
"But you must pay this," Yang Sande said very seriously, "the entrance to the Skyless Realm is guarded by rotating shifts among the 27 forces, even the three Chairmen have to pay. For them, it's not about the money, it's a rule, so when the time comes, don't be surprised, just pay."
"What if someone doesn't pay?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously, "There must be some people with a temper, right?"
"Of course there are," Yang Sande laughed, "and they're all dead. Anyone who breaks this rule won't see the sunrise the next morning. Even many Divine Cultivation Ninth Grade people have been killed. Of course, if you're a deity who surpasses the Divine Cultivation Realm among those superpowers, maybe you can challenge this rule, hahaha."
"Got it, is there anything else?"
"Yes," Yang Sande continued, "in the Skyless Realm, these three major powers have some special beliefs. I don't know what they worship, but they've erected three statues in the central area of the Skyless Realm. While they don't force others to worship these statues, anyone who desecrates them will face relentless pursuit."
"Wow, even religious beliefs are involved, go on."
"Hahaha, there are still quite a few taboos in the Skyless Realm," Yang Sande said, "but if we really talk about it, it would waste our time. I have a list of taboos here; you can read it when you have time. Those intelligence merchants sell this for 10,000 Divine Crystals, but it's not worth it, I'll just give it to you."
"Thanks," Zhang Menglong took it. It's a very thick manual, meticulously designed, with a paper version and other special formats. The manual is called "3000 Taboos of the Skyless Realm."
"Interesting," Zhang Menglong directly instructed Gou Dan to store all this information, "Gou Dan, help me rename it to '3000 Things You Must Do in the Skyless Realm', and I'll check them off one by one."
[Hahaha, Headmaster, I knew you were up to something again.]
...
"Next, I want to know something about those superpowers." So far, Zhang Menglong only knows that those superpowers might have Ultimate Lifeforms, but he knows nothing else.
"About those superpowers, I don't know much either," Yang Sande said, "they leave very little information in the secular world. I only know there are 18 of these forces, and each force takes in around 100,000 people at a time."
"Over a hundred billion people to choose from to pick just over a million, that's really one in a million," Zhang Menglong said. Those who receive the Heavenly Pride Order are mostly already at the genius level, so this one in a million chance is no joke.
"Do you have any specific information about these forces?"
Yang Sande shook his head, "But I know there's a difference in strength between these forces. If you have the chance, join the one called the Divine Profound Hall. It's said to be the oldest, with the deepest foundations, and the most powerful among the 18 forces."
"Divine Profound Hall..." Zhang Menglong memorized this name.
"Oh, and there's one called the Sunset Sect. If you can avoid joining it, try not to, because it's said to be the weakest."
"The name already sounds like it's on its last legs, hahaha."
"Anything else? Tell me everything you know."
"Also, their history can be traced back to..."
