Chapter 659 Entering the Clouds Pavilion
Beneath the Jitian Peak where the Holy Palace is located lies an extremely mysterious place called Ruyun Pavilion.
Although they don't usually entertain many guests, those who can freely leave this place are all beings of the Venerable level.
On this day, a thick and powerful beam of light flew to the front of the Cloud Pavilion. After the light faded, it was revealed to be Lu Yuan transformed into a mountain giant nearly ten feet tall.
"Greetings, senior. May I ask which clan you belong to? Did you receive an invitation to the Cloud Pavilion?" An elderly demon flew up from the Cloud Pavilion, his cultivation level actually reaching the mid-stage of the Demon Sect.
"What, do I need to be invited to come here?"
"Nobody told me."
As a mountain giant, Lu Yuan's avatar naturally spoke in a deep, gruff voice, which sounded slightly indistinct to the ears of the elderly demon.
"Oh, it seems this is your first time visiting Jitian City, and you've never been to Ruyun Pavilion before, right?"
Lu Yuan scratched his head and mumbled, "You old man, you have a good eye for people. I just heard that I can meet a lot of like-minded people here, and there are also small exchange meetings between people of the same level, so I came to take a look."
"So, senior, are you planning to make friends with like-minded people, or would you like to participate in the exchange meeting?" The elderly demon asked with a smile after hearing Lu Yuan's words.
"Is there a difference?" Lu Yuan's eyes widened, his face full of doubt.
The elderly demon patiently explained, "If you wish to get to know other venerable elders in the city, you need to reveal your identity and background to our Pavilion Master. Once it is confirmed, our elders will introduce you to the other elders you wish to meet. Of course, you also need to make an appointment in advance if you want to see our Pavilion Master."
"That's too much trouble. How about participating in an exchange program?" Lu Yuan muttered as he asked.
“Participating in the exchange fair is much simpler. You only need to pay a certain fee to enter a special area and exchange items with other Venerables. However, if you suffer a loss during the exchange fair, our organization will not be responsible,” the elderly demon said.
"Then I'll participate in the exchange and I'll give you magic stones." Lu Yuan said without asking about the specific cost, and with a wave of his hand, a large number of magic stones rained down from the sky.
The old demon was startled and quickly dodged to avoid being hit by the mountain of demonic stones.
"Senior, that's enough, that's enough, we don't need that much."
"I'll give you a generous reward. Is there an exchange meeting now? Lead the way as soon as possible. Do you think I don't know this trick?" Lu Yuan acted as if he were very experienced, but when he used this in the form of the mountain giant, it was naturally full of flaws.
"This..." The old demon gave a wry smile, but dared not say anything more as he put away the demon stone.
He then said, "Senior, please follow me. There happens to be an exchange meeting in the pavilion today."
In fact, for Ruyun Pavilion, the cost of magic stones is just a formality.
Their primary purpose was to facilitate their connections with and influence of those respected figures, which is why they provided this location.
"What a coincidence? You're not trying to trick me, are you?" Lu Yuan looked cautious again.
“Senior misunderstands. With the reputation of my Cloud Pavilion in Jitian City, we would never do such a despicable thing. Moreover, the initiator of today’s exchange meeting is Venerable Bei, who is a highly respected senior in Jitian City. You can rest assured about that.” The old demon quickly explained.
"Master Yan?"
"Never heard of it." Lu Yuan shook his huge head.
"The Wolf Venerable is a Demon Lord under the Six Extremes Ancestor, and his status ranks among the top among all the Venerables. Normally, given his status, he would not need to participate in such an exchange meeting."
"But he seems to be in dire need of several rare items lately, and hasn't been able to find them, which is why he's taken the initiative to convene this exchange meeting. The items he's offering for trade must be extremely valuable," the old demon continued to explain.
"Hearing you say that, I'm glad I came. Maybe I can really get what I need in exchange." Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction and urged the old demon to lead the way quickly.
During their conversation, the two passed through a large area of buildings and finally arrived at a grand hall that was as white as jade.
This hall is about forty or fifty feet high and several hundred feet wide.
Several demons with the cultivation level of a god general stood in front of the gate. Upon seeing Lu Yuan and the old demon arrive, they immediately...
One of them stepped forward, bowed, and then respectfully asked:
"Greetings, Senior Yu. And this senior is...?"
"This senior is..." The elderly demon surnamed Yu suddenly realized that he had arrived at this point in time but did not seem to know Lu Yuannei's name.
"I am Lu Shan, has the exchange started yet?" Lu Yuan replied casually, his tone revealing a hint of urgency.
Upon seeing this, the demon with the cultivation level of a divine general quickly and respectfully said, "The exchange meeting has not yet started, but many venerable seniors have already arrived."
"That's fine, Senior Lu, please come in. We are not qualified to enter."
"However, if you haven't gotten what you wanted this time, please don't rush to leave. I'll make an invitation for you later. Our sect leader is very happy to make friends with seniors of the same level, and he has a rich collection. Perhaps he can find something you need." The old demon finished speaking and gestured for people to enter the hall.
"Hmm~ We'll talk about it later."
Lu Yuan strode into the main hall. Although the hall was spacious, it was not empty. Instead, tables and chairs were placed against the surrounding walls, and many of them were occupied by demons of various shapes and sizes. Judging from their physical characteristics, there were men and women of different races.
Upon noticing someone enter, countless eyes swept over at the same time.
However, upon discovering the appearance of the giants of the Lu Yuan Mountain Range, their expressions immediately changed.
"Ancient Mountain Giants!"
"I never expected to broaden my horizons today."
"How should this venerable one be addressed?"
Lu Yuan seemed completely unconcerned and found an empty spot. However, compared to his large frame, the small table and chairs, barely ten feet in size, still appeared somewhat cramped.
"Too small," Lu Yuan muttered, then suddenly sat down.
The floor inside the hall shook instantly, and the tables and chairs shattered into dust.
"Haha, I am Lu Shan, greetings everyone." Lu Yuan sat down on the ground and greeted those around him with a cupped hand.
The surrounding demons were taken aback at first, and then some of them couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lu Yuan, however, didn't care at all, laughing as he looked around.
The cultivation fluctuations emanating from these demons all undoubtedly indicated that they were all at the Demon Lord level.
A significant portion of them possessed mid-stage Demon Lord cultivation, and there were even two whose cultivation levels Lu Yuan couldn't discern, but judging from the terrifying fluctuations emanating from them, they were most likely late-stage Demon Lords.
The two sat alone, and no other cultivators dared to sit beside them.
It was truly astonishing that more than twenty Demon Lords had gathered in such a small place as the Cloud Pavilion.
It seems that one can only come into contact with cultivators of a certain level based on their cultivation level, which also shows that the Cloud Pavilion is indeed unique.
