Chapter 558: Chapter 270: Emperor Hong’s Trading Company, Ten Years Later_2
He had originally intended to buy just one, but after appraising them, he indeed discovered that these two top-grade magical objects were quite good. Although they were a bit cruder and weaker than the ones crafted by humans of the same grade, their price was about 30% less than the human ones. Even if they were not really needed, selling them in Yu Heng World would still earn him a handful of Spirit Stones.
Han Yi suddenly had a thought. If he could control a stable channel between the two worlds, being a double-dealing merchant could be quite profitable.
After buying the magical objects, Han Yi asked Hu Ping about the earlier question. Since they had already talked, it wouldn’t seem abrupt now.
“Fixed channels between the two realms naturally exist,” Hu Ping replied.
Having sold two magical objects at once, Hu Ping was in a good mood and was even more attentive to Han Yi’s inquiries, providing additional service. As a shopkeeper for over a hundred years, he knew how to maintain relationships.
Hearing this, Han Yi was overjoyed, and his face revealed curiosity and yearning.
“However.”
“These channels are controlled by only a handful of powerful forces.”
“Since Daoist Niu Mo knows that the Evil God attacked Yu Heng World, you should also know that the Evil World we are in is called Illuminating World, one of the seven Cultivation Worlds in the Beidou Region,” said Hu Ping.
Han Yi nodded, and Hu Ping continued speaking.
“Among these seven Cultivation Worlds, only Illuminating World and Tianji belong to the Evil Clan. In the other five worlds, two have both human and Evil Clan presences, while the remaining three have the Human Clan enslaving the Evil Clan.”
At this point, Hu Ping paused, a mocking tone in his voice.
“It is ridiculous that the human cultivators spread the word that our Evil Clan devours humans, lumping us together with beasts as Evil Beasts. It’s beyond laughable…”
Listening to this, Han Yi’s eyes remained unchanged, but memories of the various soul shadows he had encountered in the Evil Kings’ minds surfaced in his heart. He had already discovered a fact.
That fact was that the real Evil Clan in the Evil Clan’s civilization of Illuminating World did not eat humans. To them, humans had lowly bloodlines, and consuming them would not aid the bloodline evolution they valued.
Moreover, in the perception of the Evil Clan, humans were cunning and bred the Evil Clan to extract their flesh, blood, and skeletons for crafting magical objects, which was extremely wicked.
Only those beasts who had not yet evolved might eat human flesh without any scruples, but those creatures were not part of the Evil Clan.
Hu Bai’s earlier words also corroborated this view.
This understanding had overturned Han Yi’s previous perception of the Evil Clan.
Seated across from him, Hu Ping sneered before continuing.
“Enough about that, let’s get back to the issue you asked about.”
“Among the three Cultivation Worlds controlled by humans, naturally, there are no fixed channels to our Evil World. However, there are fixed spatial channels connecting Illuminating World with those two other Cultivation Worlds with Evil Clan cultivators.”
“Those two Cultivation Worlds are Tianquan World and Opening Sun World.”
“However, Tianquan World and Opening Sun World are jointly governed by the Human and Evil Clans. In these worlds, wars frequently break out. Human sects occasionally launch attacks against the fortresses and cities of the Evil Clan. Naturally, our Evil Clan has to fight back in retaliation, occasionally even destroying human sects and Immortal Cities.”
Having heard this, Han Yi automatically ignored the implication in Hu Ping’s tone – that the Evil Clan had suffered immense injustice under the forceful oppression of the Human Clan, enduring great hardships to maintain control of half the Evil Clan’s world via a difficult and epic struggle.
One thing he confirmed was that fixed spatial channels truly existed. Although these channels didn’t lead directly to Yu Heng World, they led to other Cultivation Worlds.
Upon learning this, Han Yi was overjoyed. According to Hu Ping’s statement, it was extremely difficult to directly return to Yu Heng World unless a completely new spatial channel was found. Otherwise, it would be impossible to traverse across the realms.
As for the completely new spatial channels, the last one was in the Yintu Mountain Range, leading to the Human Cultivation World of Yu Heng World. The Undying Evil God led a team to attack and save the Evil Clan brethren, but the cunning humans played tricks and got the Undying Evil God killed and defeated.
Apart from that.
There have always been stable spatial channels between Illuminating, Opening Sun, and Tianquan Worlds which one could use to get a glimpse of the Human Cultivation World.
Before Han Yi could inquire about where the channels were, Hu Ping had already proactively explained – since he wanted to maintain a good relationship, he wouldn’t keep Han Yi guessing.
“To my knowledge, there are two stable spatial channels in this ancient city that lead to Opening Sun World and Tianquan World.”
“I won’t beat around the bush. One of these stable spatial channels is controlled by City Lord Manor, while the other is controlled by Di Hong clan.”
Upon hearing this, Han Yi pondered. Naturally, he couldn’t covet the spatial channel in the City Lord Manor, but the one in the hands of the Di Hong clan could be worth attempting to infiltrate.
From the memories of the demon cultivators he killed along the way, Han Yi had already gained a comprehensive understanding of the demon clan’s races.
The Di Hong clan was a race of demonic birds that had four wings and six legs. It was said that the Di Hong clan had the bloodline of the ancient Evil Immortal Emperor Jiang, and their innate supernatural powers, inherited by their descendants, were related to space.
“Di Hong,” muttered Han Yi, already thinking about how to replace the sentry with his Disguise Technique. By doing so, he could definitely pass through the spatial channel unnoticed and be teleported to either Opening Sun World or Tianquan World.
