Chapter 807: Cloud Sky Heavenly Palace

In the void of the Cloud Immortal Realm, a nine-dragon imperial carriage raced at incredible speed, far faster than Su Che’s, almost on par with that of a Sixth Heaven Immortal Emperor. This was because the carriage itself was an exquisitely crafted immortal artifact—those nine golden dragons were merely for show; they weren’t pulling the carriage at all, but rather the carriage was pushing them.
The interior of the carriage was extremely spacious, resembling a luxurious palace. Su Che didn’t have to rush along. Inside, seated on comfortable soft chairs, he enjoyed the attentive service of several beautiful dragon maidens while chatting casually with the Dragon Emperor. At this speed, it would take at most five hours to reach Cloud Sky Heavenly Palace.
“Dragon Emperor, as a member of the dragon race, why do you use your own descendants to pull the carriage? Isn’t this a bit excessive?” Su Che asked casually. “Why not use nine phoenixes instead?”
“That’s how I’ll get my revenge!” The Dragon Emperor waved his hand and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp. “The Hellfire Black Dragons have suffered discrimination within the dragon race. Just because we have an extra pair of wings, we’re labeled as impure and lowly. Now that I’m an Immortal Emperor of the Seventh Heaven, I’ll use the most noble five-clawed golden dragons to pull my carriage!”
Got it! Su Che nodded inwardly, realizing that this guy must have endured countless insults, mockery, and hardships from other dragon clans throughout his growth, which led him to seek revenge like this.
“If I can take advantage of this opportunity in the Immortal Lord’s Treasury and eventually reach the Ninth Heaven realm, I will always remember the kindness of the Judge Lord.” The Dragon Emperor toasted Su Che and declared loudly, “If there’s any task in the future, I’ll go through fire and water without hesitation!”
“Sure,” Su Che replied with a toast, though he thought to himself: Believe that?
Words from such a guy could only be taken as hearsay.
They had arrived at Cloud Sky Heavenly Palace.
To establish a heavenly market in the Cloud Immortal Realm, one must at least possess the cultivation level of a Sixth Heaven Immortal Emperor. Otherwise, various heavenly markets would flood the area, and unscrupulous competitive tactics would emerge in abundance, making them hard to control.
Cloud Sky Heavenly Palace was actually the residence of the Cloud Sky Immortal Emperor. This female Immortal Emperor was hospitable, loved excitement, and enjoyed business, so she transformed her immortal palace into a heavenly market—a tradition that has lasted for tens of billions of years.
The immortal palace of a Sixth Heaven Immortal Emperor was built atop colorful auspicious clouds, covering an area of tens of thousands of square miles—truly magnificent. Of course, it paled in comparison to the Tian Luo Sacred Land that Su Che had seen. The Tian Luo Sacred Land was the residence of the Immortal Lord, covering an area equivalent to tens of thousands of continents—hundreds of millions of times larger than Cloud Sky Heavenly Palace.

The interior of Yunxiao Tianfu boasts breathtaking scenery, truly a paradise among paradises, so magnificent it’s overwhelming to behold. Immortals possess almost infinite lifespans, and every detail must be perfect—things that require no concern from the Emperor of Immortals, as countless subordinates take care of arranging everything flawlessly. The arrival of the Dragon Emperor in Tianfu drew the attention of many immortals, yet few dared to look at him directly, let alone approach him to pay respects. “Are you comfortable with them fearing you so much?” Su Che asked casually, either intentionally or not. “Fear is also a form of respect,” the Dragon Emperor sneered. “Only by making others fear me can I demonstrate my strength. I truly enjoy this feeling.” Psychologically twisted! That was Su Che’s only assessment. “You!” The Dragon Emperor pointed at a late-stage Da Luo Jin Xian and ordered coldly, “Come here!” “I see you, Emperor of Dragons.” The Da Luo Jin Xian hurried forward and bowed. “You have ten hours to find an immortal woman named Ling Xuan and bring her to me,” the Dragon Emperor commanded arrogantly, not even bothering to ask for her name. “Yes, I’ll go find her right away,” the Da Luo Jin Xian bowed again and left in haste. Yunxiao Tianfu was vast, making it difficult to find someone, which was why the Dragon Emperor set a ten-hour deadline. “Arbitrator, we can just wait here,” the Dragon Emperor said, turning to Su Che with a smile. “See? Making others fear you—what a delightful feeling!” Su Che didn’t bother arguing with him and simply warned, “Don’t scare Ling Xuan later. Don’t mess this up for me.” “Arbitrator, it’s best to follow my advice on this matter.” The Dragon Emperor said, “The Bones of the Demon God are also quite valuable treasures. If you want to force an immortal to reveal their origin, gentle methods won’t work. Since it involves their secrets, no one will easily tell you. You must use force to make them confess honestly.” “That makes sense,” Su Che said with a smile. “Then fine, I’ll leave this to you.” “Haha, that’s exactly right,” the Dragon Emperor laughed arrogantly. It had to be admitted—he had some points. Secrets related to the Bones of the Demon God were indeed significant, and no one would reveal them easily. Even offering a huge sum through peaceful negotiation might not persuade them.

If Su Che were to handle it, after wasting words, it’s possible that violence would ultimately be necessary to succeed. After waiting less than five hours in this hall, Goddess Ling Xuan appeared before them, clearly showing signs of tension and unease. She stepped forward and bowed to the Dragon Emperor, saying, “I greet you, Great Dragon Emperor.” “Mm, sit down,” the Dragon Emperor replied in a haughty tone, his gaze fierce. Ling Xuan sat down cautiously. Though she didn’t know why the Dragon Emperor had summoned her, it surely couldn’t be anything good. “I heard that some time ago, you auctioned several pieces of Demon God bones at an assembly. Is that true?” the Dragon Emperor asked in a deep voice. “Yes,” Ling Xuan replied. “I indeed sold six pieces of Demon God bones, but that was tens of thousands of years ago.” “Who bought those six pieces?” the Dragon Emperor pressed further. “They were bought anonymously, but it seems to have been by an Immortal Emperor from the Second Heaven,” Ling Xuan said. Her unease grew even stronger—she knew that anything related to Demon God bones would bring serious trouble. “Do you still have any Demon God bones?” the Dragon Emperor asked, his eyes fierce and his tone sinister. “You’d better answer me honestly, because the last thing I can tolerate is being deceived. Do you understand?” “I understand,” Ling Xuan replied, nodding slightly. After a brief hesitation, she added, “I still have two pieces of Demon God bones left. If Great Dragon Emperor is interested, I’m willing to hand them over.” The Dragon Emperor’s notorious reputation was well-known throughout the Cloud Immortal Realm. Ling Xuan knew that if her answer didn’t satisfy him, even within the Cloud Sky Heavenly Kingdom, he might not kill her openly, but he would surely find a way to deal with her later—she would still die at his hands. “Show them to me. If they’re useful to me, I won’t take them for free,” the Dragon Emperor said, fairly politely. Ling Xuan then took out two pale green fragments of bone from her personal space and handed them to the Dragon Emperor. He casually passed them to Su Che, a move that surprised Ling Xuan—she realized now that the one truly interested in the Demon God bones was this young man who appeared to be a Golden Immortal. The two pieces of Demon God bones were taken to the Immortal Prison. A few breaths later, Lao He reported, “They’re useful! These two pieces do carry some primordial power from that era. It seems to be the same Demon God mentioned by Lord Ao. Unfortunately, this power is extremely weak and won’t be of much use.” “As long as they’re useful, that’s good enough,” Su Che thought, secretly delighted that he had succeeded so quickly with his first clue.

He asked gently, “Fellow Daoist Ling Xuan, to be honest with you, the remains of this ancient demon god are quite important to me. I need more bones or corpses, and it would be best if I could know their exact origin.”
“Well…” Ling Xuan appeared hesitant for a moment before saying, “The bones of the demon god were obtained within the territory of the Deer Emperor. That’s all there are…”
Before she could finish, the Dragon Emperor snorted coldly, “I’ll say it once more—if you dare deceive me, you’ll bear the consequences.”
Ling Xuan’s expression changed, and she didn’t dare argue. She certainly knew how difficult it would be to deceive a Seventh Heaven Immortal Emperor, let alone someone as domineering, ruthless, and tyrannical as the Dragon Emperor.
Su Che really didn’t want to put her in a difficult position. Or rather, although he was determined to obtain those ancient demon god remains, he wouldn’t rob her like a bandit.
So, he said to her with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Ling Xuan, we both understand the value of the demon god’s remains. I won’t let you suffer any loss. No matter how many there are, I’m willing to pay a high price to acquire them or exchange them for even more valuable treasures. In any case, you won’t be at a disadvantage. Please rest assured on that.”
As he spoke, Su Che took out a pile of top-grade immortal crystals, several supreme immortal weapons, along with other precious treasures, all placed on the table.
Words alone weren’t enough—proof was needed.
Su Che continued, “Fellow Daoist Ling Xuan, the only use the demon god’s remains can serve you is for crafting weapons. But with your cultivation level, you can at most create supreme immortal weapons. Look, these supreme immortal weapons were all created by Immortal Emperors of the Seventh and Eighth Heavens and can be considered ultimate treasures. If they’re refined in the Heavenly Will Furnace, they’ll even rise to the rank of heavenly-grade immortal weapons… If you’re interested, you can use them to exchange for the demon god’s remains.”
With such valuable treasures on the table, not even someone like Ling Xuan, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, could remain unmoved. Even the Dragon Emperor was somewhat tempted, thinking to himself, “No wonder he’s the judge of the Immortal Lord’s treasure vault—his generosity is truly remarkable.”
Ling Xuan was even more tempted, but she was still worried—would she even get a chance to possess them before losing her life? If the Dragon Emperor turned against her later, no matter how good the treasures were, they might be taken away from her…
Su Che seemed to read her thoughts and smiled, “Fellow Daoist Ling Xuan, you can choose any of these treasures at will. If you pick one, you can take it away in advance and store it in the Cloud Sky Heavenly Treasury as a deposit.”
Ling Xuan was stunned. She hadn’t expected Su Che to offer such generous terms.

Su Che meant to let her select one or two treasures in advance and store them at Yunxiao Tianfu, returning later to collect them. In this way, even if he and the Dragon Emperor changed their minds later, the deposit paid in advance could not be retrieved. Because only she herself could collect the items stored there; no one else could.
This attitude fully demonstrated Su Che’s sincerity in wanting to conduct fair trade, willing to make the greatest concessions.
With such generous terms offered, if Ling Xuan still refused to agree, it could only be described as being ungrateful.
