Chapter 2021: Chapter 79: Intimidation

A huge, twisted ‘horn’ mouth.

Although some forces have begun to return, the true Sea Market still attracts many cultivators. Disguised figures gather here in groups, going in and out, looking wary and guarded. Many people’s auras are declining, while others can’t hide their joy, hurrying past…

Looking from afar, the entrance of the Sea Market is already astounding, and even more so up close. Only at such proximity do Wang Ba and the others finally feel a deep sense of insignificance.

Besides being shocked by the grandeur of the Sea Market entrance, they faintly feel waves of fluctuations emanating from deep within the entrance.

The Corpse-digging Ghost King whispered at this point:

“Everyone be careful, after entering the Sea Market, there will be an area where the rules change is not quite obvious. It’s the most chaotic and dangerous place where some squat to ambush cultivators and seize resources…”

The few heard this without much change in expression.

The Sea Market is full of opportunities, but naturally not devoid of dangers.

Apart from the dangers caused by rule changes, demonic beasts, large-scale heavenly disasters, and mutual slaughter among cultivators are reasons why many dare not enter rashly.

As for fights occurring within the Sea Market, as long as one does not expose their identity or create too much of an impact, almost no one will pursue them. This is a tacitly agreed rule among the various forces.

Some weaker forces might oppose, but after ineffective opposition, they can only accept it helplessly.

Treasure Hunters, thus, thrive.

The area with minor rule changes after entering the Sea Market is the most active zone for Treasure Hunters, which ironically has turned into the least safe place.

Fortunately, due to Treasure Hunters belonging to different forces and mutually balancing each other, they dare not easily show themselves, fearing benefits might be reaped by others. So as long as they travel in groups, with a considerable number, Treasure Hunters would not easily make a move.

These are the common knowledge they have about the Sea Market.

Yu Wuheng is somewhat curious:

“The Three Realms cultivators are much stronger than the general Outer World cultivators. If they are in this Sea Market, wouldn’t they be invincible?”

The Corpse-digging Ghost King slightly shook his head:

“Three Realms cultivators are an exception in the Sea Market. Generally speaking, as long as Three Realms cultivators dare to reveal their identity and break into the Sea Market, they will immediately attract attacks from all forces. Therefore, very few Three Realms cultivators dare to intrude unless they are extremely powerful and confident…”

“Wouldn’t the people from the Three Realms find trouble for them?”

Yu Wuheng raised an eyebrow.

Chen Xuan, beside, took over the topic:

“As long as identities are not exposed, generally not. Like last time when the Sea Market opened, the people from the Jade Pot Realm revealed their identities after sneaking in and were besieged by Treasure Hunters. They fought their way out, even causing the deaths of two second-generation cultivators from the Wen Generation, yet the Jade Pot Realm didn’t bring it up much afterwards.”

“Moreover…”

Compared to the Corpse-digging Ghost King, Chen Xuan undoubtedly understands more and in more detail:

“Even if they are from the Jade Pot Realm, if they break into the depths of the Sea Market, they would also be affected by the rule changes. Despite being stronger than Outer Realm cultivators, they are not significantly stronger. There are shops in the Human Market and Flower Market selling corpses and Dao Domains of Three Realms cultivators secretly… don’t spread this around, just knowing is fine.”

The Flower Market is one of the four major areas of the market, mainly selling miscellaneous items other than men and Dao Treasures. Another area is the Immortal Cave, trading treasures obtained from the Sea Market.

Wang Ba nodded thoughtfully.

The Sea of Chaos Realm truly deserves the word ‘chaos.’

On surface, it seems all Outer Realm forces are being exploited, but clearly, all forces are not content with this, all trying to restrain and weaken the power of the Three Realms from different angles.

Amongst each other, there’s no distinction between good and evil, just from each’s perspective, there’s no other choice.

While they were talking, they quickly approached the entrance of the Sea Market.

Soon, they saw faint formation lights flickering around the entrance, surrounding it, and at some nodes of this formation, there were figures from both Outer World cultivators and Three Realms cultivators sitting.

Total of nine people.

Of them, six were bizarre in appearance, obviously Outer World cultivators. Their auras were unfathomable, while the other three were clearly from the Three Realms, namely a wealthy-looking old woman, a white-clothed young man, a muscular middle-aged man.

All of them were meditating.

Their auras were restrained, prompting Yu Wuheng to slightly scrutinize.

He quickly transmitted to Wang Ba:

“These nine are all late-stage Integration…”

Wang Ba slightly nodded.

Chen Xuan also quickly introduced in a low voice:

“These people are to prevent fighting at the entrance of the Sea Market. Every time the Sea Market opens, the candidates will rotate among the various forces, but the Three Realms have fixed seats. That old woman is Yun Yixian, Master Changying’s partner. The white-clothed youth is Bai Qi, the third disciple of Ying Yuan Daoist from the Double Body Realm. The middle-aged man is from the Holy Desecration Realm, but I don’t have detailed information on him. As for the six, they are Nine Robes from Huntian Palace, and Master Qinghe from Sun Heavenly Palace…”

Having mingled in the Sea Market for a long time, even as an outsider, he is well aware of the situation here.

Wang Ba’s gaze instinctively fell upon the old woman, secretly startled.

“Master Changying’s partner, even the partner is late-stage Integration…”

His gaze swept across the nine.

These nine, perhaps being stared at often, were accustomed to it and thus had no reaction.
