Chapter 361 - Battle Arena Unlocked!
Demon Ancestor Jun and Hanzo were already on their fifth bottle of Bejeweled Ocean Nectar each. These two peerless experts who oversaw the Crimson Fiend Continent with iron hands had drunken expressions as they greedily drank their wine. Their faces were already red and their pair of sleepy eyes almost made the other customers laugh at them. However, who would dare embarra.s.s these two demons?
"The increase in spiritual power had lessened, but even after drinking five bottles, my spiritual power is still increasing. If I could drink this every day, I might achieve the Void G.o.d Realm in another hundred thousand years!" Hanzo eagerly thought to himself. He was already at the peak stage of the Origin G.o.d Realm (peak stage Demon Ancestor). Although he was just a step away into the Void G.o.d Realm, this step was like the distance between heaven and earth. If he continue with his usual routine, it would take him hundreds of thousands or even millions of years before he could finally achieve a breakthrough. However, with Jiu Shen"s Bejeweled Ocean Nectar, he could shorten the time of his advancement!
Don"t underestimate this difference since experts at their level could already live for millions of years depending on their strength. Some could even live for billions of years...
"Wine Master Jiu, hic...give me hic...one more of this please." Hanzo glanced at Jiu Shen with his droopy eyes as he handed him another bag of Blood Stones. His arm was already shaking as he gave it to Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen stared at him and nodded his head. "Alright, but this will be your last one. Drinking more might not do you good..."
"Hm?" Hanzo"s sleepy eyes regained clarity when he heard Jiu Shen"s words. He checked his body and noticed that his dantian was already filled to brim with true essence. He was a body strengthening expert, so his dantian could not take too much true essence like the human cultivators, so when he saw his dantian in such a state, the executioner revealed a horrified look.
"Thanks for your reminder, Wine Master Jiu." He muttered gratefully. Luckily, this human didn"t seem to harbor resentment towards their race and he even seemed to get along well with them during the past few weeks that he was here.
Jiu Shen shook his head and went to the wine storage when a system prompt suddenly popped up in front of him.
Ding!
The second floor is now open!
The store"s battle arena has been unlocked!
The system is creating a teleportation array formation in the underground. This teleportation array formation is connected to the branch in the Profound Dragon Continent!
"I thought it would take me another month to unlock these two. And with this teleportation array formation, I can bring those guys here..." Jiu Shen muttered as he recalled the faces of a few people.
"I"ll check the changes in the store later..."
***
Profound Dragon Continent, Beltran City of the Silver Wing Empire, on the second floor of The Immortal"s Wine Store.
A circular array formation suddenly emerged on the floor. Hestia who was coincidentally there was stunned when she noticed the appearance of the array formation. She was familiar with array formation, so she knew that the one transcribed on the second floor was a teleportation array formation! As for where this leads to... Hestia"s eyes sparkled as she thought of something. She then went down and called for Theia.
"Sister Theia! You might like to see the changes upstairs!"
Theia who was standing at the entrance with a stern look stared at Hestia with confusion.
"Changes?" She was bewildered by Hestia"s reaction, so she immediately followed her to the second floor.
When the two of them arrived where the teleportation array formation was transcribed, Theia could not help but exclaim. "This is... Is this connected to the Crimson Fiend Continent?" She was certain that this array formation would lead them to where Jiu Shen was currently staying, but they didn"t dare touch the array formation without Jiu Shen"s command.
"If this is really connected to the Crimson Fiend Continent... Can we see him again?" Theia muttered.
"Of course!" Hestia answered excitedly. She then rushed downstairs as she yelled.
"I"ll go to the sword tower and inform everyone about this! Please stay here for now, Sister Theia!"
Theia glanced at her and nodded her head. She then s.h.i.+fted her gaze back to the array formation as she muttered absentmindedly. "Jiu Shen... if it"s really you, would you still remember this foolish woman?"

"Here." Jiu Shen handed the bottle of Bejeweled Ocean Nectar to Hanzo with an expressionless look. He then stared at the old demon who was looking at him helplessly. "As for you, if you don"t want to live anymore, then I can give you your final bottle."
Hearing his words, the old demon shook his head with regret. He was just a late stage Origin G.o.d Realm expert (late stage Demon Ancestor). His dantian"s capacity was way weaker than Hanzo"s, so he could only drink five bottles of Bejeweled Ocean Nectar.
"Too bad... In that case, I"ll come back once I fully refine this true essence in my body..." He muttered helplessly.
Jiu Shen ignored them and went to check the battle arena upstairs. When he arrived on the third floor, he saw that the previously dark room was now lit up with bright incandescent light coming from a sphperical stone of unknown origin. It was hovering at the top of the room like a miniature sun.
Jiu Shen did not bother checking what kind of stone it was since he already knew that it was another celestial-level item.
The battle arena at the center of the room was vast. It was the size of a whole city! That"s right! This was how huge the third floor of the store was!
"If I recall correctly, anyone can register here using 1000 Blood Stones and I have to reward the winner with an item. Furthermore, the winners will also be provided with a piece of G.o.d Crystal."
"System, is it fine if I just give them a G.o.d Crystal? I mean, I don"t have anything that I can give them." Jiu Shen inquired with a serious look.
Ding!
It is up to the host.
Hearing the system"s reply, Jiu Shen smirked.
