Lin Yuan had intelligence from Cang Weiyang and was quite knowledgeable about the Thousand Treasures Convention.
“This time, the Thousand Treasures Convention features eight thousand six hundred and thirty-three treasures, all of good quality.”
Lin Yuan browsed through the list.
“Five thousand three hundred and eleven treasures from the Path Splitting Realm, one thousand four hundred and seventy-six from the Domination Realm, and six from the Chaos Realm? The rest are various rare flowers and fruits, special treasures, special materials, and so on.”
Lin Yuan observed that the treasures presented at a single Thousand Treasures Convention far exceeded the entire fortune of Cang Weiyang, a peak master from the Domination Realm.
“Crystal of Time: Contains rich powers of time. After using it, comprehension of the Rule of Time is greatly accelerated, only effective for those below the Seventh Realm of time rules.”
“Starting price: Eight hundred chaos stones.”
“Directly enhancing the speed of rule comprehension? That’s rare.” Lin Yuan took a closer look, “But it’s of no use to me.”
Lin Yuan’s comprehension of the Rule of Time had already reached the Ninth Realm, just one step away from transforming into the great pathway of time.
The Rule of Time is a pillar rule, and its comprehension difficulty is much lesser than that of the Spatiotemporal Fusion Rule. Lin Yuan had long reached the Ninth Realm in understanding the Rule of Time.
“Seven-colored Thunderbolt Stone: A remarkable stone fallen from the Chaos Thunder Pond, containing the power of seven-colored thunderbolts, greatly beneficial for those who walk the path of thunderbolts at the twelfth layer.”
“Starting price: Ten thousand chaos stones.”
The Chaos Void has many peculiarities, which require numerous conditions to enter.
Like the Chaos Thunder Pond?
This place is filled with endless destructive thunderbolts, and only a Chaos Venerable who walks the path of thunderbolts can enter.
Moreover, every once in a lengthy period, the Chaos Thunder Pond drops some stones, which are the Seven-colored Thunderbolt Stones.
Containing some of the essence of the Chaos Thunder Pond, the Seven-colored Thunderbolt Stone is considered the source of thunderbolts and is very beneficial for understanding the path of thunderbolts.
“The path of thunderbolts…” Lin Yuan pondered for a while, as he had no urgent desire to pursue the path of thunderbolts at the moment.
“Ten thousand chaos stones… that’s equivalent to the entire fortune of a typical master from the Domination Realm.” Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
However, the Seven-colored Thunderbolt Stone is priceless, and it’s usually not available for purchase at other times, so it’s normal for it to be more expensive.
Lin Yuan continued browsing the treasures listed in the Thousand Treasures Record, many of which piqued his interest, until he saw a particular item.
Lin Yuan’s pupils shrank slightly.
It was a golden box, its surface mottled, showing signs of having weathered many years.
On the lower left corner of the golden box, there was a complex pattern engraved, and upon seeing this pattern, Lin Yuan felt a sense of familiarity.
“Is this the mark of the Profound Xuanhuang lineage?” Lin Yuan’s expression turned solemn.
Having taken charge of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, and being a successor to Xuanhuang himself, Lin Yuan naturally had some understanding of the Profound Xuanhuang lineage’s marks.
“Does this box originate from the Profound Xuanhuang lineage?” Lin Yuan guessed in his mind.
At the same time, he looked at the introduction given by the Thousand Treasures Convention for this golden box.
“Unknown Box: Contains the aura fluctuations of the Chaos Realm level, with unknown origin and effects.”
“Starting price: Thirty thousand chaos stones.”
The golden box had been in Mingchuan City for some time now; even Ancient Ming Venerable couldn’t determine the true origin of the box.
But merely based on the aura fluctuations of the Chaos Realm level within the box, it was identified as an artifact of the Chaos Realm level, and thus was priced at thirty thousand chaos stones.
In fact, this price is quite low among treasures of the Chaos Realm level. Any Chaos Realm secret treasure could sell for fifty thousand chaos stones, a hundred thousand chaos stones, or even more.
“Thirty thousand chaos stones… It seems that Ancient Ming Venerable does not know the true origin of this box.” Lin Yuan thought to himself, as Xuanhuang was a peerless Great Saint.
A treasure left by a peerless Great Saint’s lineage, how could it be worth only thirty thousand chaos stones?
Actually, this is quite normal, as Xuanhuang existed many Cosmic Eras ago; not to mention now, even in the era of the Magic Jade Tower Master, information about him was extremely scarce.
The Moyu Tower Master also learned about the existence of Xuanhuang from some relics.
“Thirty thousand chaos stones, it’s worth competing for.”
As Lin Yuan pondered, it was because other cultivators of the Second Layer, including Ancient Ming Venerable, were not of the Profound Xuanhuang lineage that they were unable to discern the true nature of the golden box.
But Lin Yuan was different.
He could certainly attempt to explore it.
The treasures left behind by the Profound Xuanhuang lineage that have been passed down to the present are without a doubt extraordinary, their real value far exceeding thirty-thousand Chaos Stones.
Slightly ordinary treasures would have long been eroded away by the passage of time.
…
In the deepest part of the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent.
Ancient Ming Venerable suddenly opened his eyes, his expression quite somber.
“Ancient Ming, what happened? Have you identified the source of the crisis?” the Chaos Dragon Beast immediately asked.
Not long ago, foreseeing an impending crisis, it informed Ancient Ming Venerable without delay.
“I have found it,” Ancient Ming Venerable nodded, his face remaining grave.
“What is the cause…” the Chaos Dragon Beast inquired.
“The strife between Shadow Demon Great Saint and Nine Phoenix Great Saint will spread to this area,” Ancient Ming Venerable said.
“Shadow Demon Great Saint and Nine Phoenix Great Saint…” The Chaos Dragon Beast was startled.
These two renowned Great Saints have been mortal enemies since their initial entry into the Chaos Realm, locked in conflict with each other and stepping into the Great Saint’s Domain almost simultaneously.
Since becoming Great Saints, these two formidable beings have embarked on an age-long battle, affecting vast regions.
This time, in investigating the crisis nearby, Ancient Ming Venerable learned from a friend that the rules underlying the clash of these two Great Saints could very likely extend to the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent’s vicinity.
A conflict between two Chaos Great Saints could cause disruption in the Ancient Ming Chaos Continent, leaving even near-Chaos level beings like the Chaos Dragon Beast seriously injured from the mere shockwaves of their battles.
This is because the Chaos Dragon Beast can move and dodge, while the areas afflicted by the clash of Shadow Demon Great Saint and Nine Phoenix Great Saint will collapse and be destroyed, potentially even hastening the demise of universes birthed from the Chaos Void into a premature end.
The feud between Shadow Demon Great Saint and Nine Phoenix Great Saint has persisted for countless Cosmic Eras, leading to untold numbers of universes prematurely succumbing to ultimate destruction.
“We’re really unlucky to be precisely in the range of the upcoming skirmish between the two Great Saints,” said Ancient Ming Venerable with a sense of helplessness.
The gap between an ordinary Chaos Venerable and a Chaos Great Saint is vast; although it is difficult for a Great Saint to completely kill a Chaos Venerable, this refers to the challenge in fully annihilating a Chaos Venerable.
For Chaos Venerable possess numerous life-saving measures.
“Indeed, we’re very unlucky,” the Chaos Dragon Beast realized, sighing.
The Chaos Void is boundless, and while the conflict between the two Great Saints has a broad impact, causing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of universes to enter premature destruction, it is still negligible compared to the entirety of the Chaos Void. This is also why despite the duration of their battle, no Great Saint of their level has intervened.
“Ancient Ming, what should we do now?” The Chaos Dragon Beast looked to Ancient Ming Venerable. Logically speaking, the further one escapes from the battle of the Great Saints the better, for who knows if one might be caught in the central zone of the shockwaves?
“I plan to propel the Chaos Continent and move it as far away as possible,” Ancient Ming Venerable said. Actually, if they were to abandon the Chaos Continent and flee directly, they would most likely be safe.
But the Chaos Continent is the fruit of nearly a hundred Cosmic Eras of dedication from Ancient Ming Venerable, and he was not willing to give it up so easily.
The Ancient Ming Chaos Continent is as vast as hundreds of universes, far too large to fit within Ancient Ming Venerable’s internal universe.
Therefore, the only option was to directly move the Chaos Continent itself, hoping to avoid the aftermath range of the impending clash of the two Great Saints.
Of course, the movement of an entire Chaos Continent is inevitably much slower than if Ancient Ming Venerable fled alone, but it remains a possible solution.
Even if in the end they still fail to escape from the range of the Great Saints’ residual shockwaves, at the very least, being further from the epicenter could substantially increase the chances of withstanding it.
“This is the only way,” the Chaos Dragon Beast nodded.
“This region will face destruction,” Ancient Ming Venerable muttered softly.
As a Chaos Venerable, he still has the capability to avoid danger, but the nearby universes and countless lives within them are not as fortunate.
