Chapter 2029: Chapter 81: The Transformation of the Grand Sea Market (Part 2)

Wang Ba thoughtfully glanced at these people, then turned to Chen Xuan and said:

“The rules here tend to favor individual rules, which is why their Dao Domains are so varied, right?”

Chen Xuan nodded appreciatively:

“Taoist friend, you truly have sharp eyesight!”

“This is also a helpless move, choosing common tendencies in the Sea Market as much as possible, such as earth, fire, water, wind, life, glory, decay, death… Otherwise, if we encounter an unconventional rule, I’m afraid everyone would get trapped.”

Wang Ba suddenly realized:

“Earth, fire, water, wind, life, glory, decay, death…”

He pondered for a moment, and luckily their team had one wielding the Wind-Driving Staff, able to harness the power of the rules, and another wielding the Land-Parting Staff, unaffected by the rules.

Otherwise, in this Sea Market, the danger could indeed be unpredictable.

On the side, the Corpse-digging Ghost King could hardly restrain himself, looking at the Realm Embryo, rubbing his hands eagerly:

“Mountain Lord, should we try opening this Realm Embryo?”

Hearing this, the coldness on Yu Wuheng’s face eased considerably, his eyes glimmering.

Chen Xuan also reminded:

“Taoist friend, although I can’t see through what’s inside this Realm Embryo, I can tell there are no fierce creatures inside. It’s very safe, and it’s about to mature, so it can be opened.”

About to mature, but not yet mature.

Wang Ba nodded, his gaze sweeping over the few people before settling on Yu Wuheng:

“Senior sister, it will be hard work for you then.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Wuheng’s ugly face broke into an even uglier smile…

Wang Ba gently turned his head away.

Having grown used to her cold and elegant demeanor, seeing this face now was indeed somewhat hard to accept.

After patiently waiting for a while, everyone took the time to restore their states.

About half a month’s time passed.

The Realm Embryo finally matured.

Yu Wuheng couldn’t hide his delight as he flew before the Realm Embryo, then carefully, with anticipation and nervousness, began to cut open the surface of the Realm Embryo bit by bit.

The next moment, from the cleft in the Realm Embryo, a large, irregular black-and-white stone slowly floated out.

“A Seventh Tier spirit mine…”

Yu Wuheng’s expression slightly fell.

Wang Ba’s eyes, on the other hand, brightened noticeably!

“It’s actually a Seventh Tier spirit mine of the Yin Yang attribute!”

Seventh Tier spirit mines are rare, and those of the Yin Yang attribute are even more precious and invaluable. Even the current Little Cang World might not be able to condense such a thing just relying on Domain Origin.

After all, Little Cang World has not yet been able to restore to its peak state.

“However, with the Yin Yang attribute spirit mine, along with the previous fire ore… I can go back to the market to search for all the ores required by the Skyfall Blade, and simply promote the Skyfall Blade to the Seventh Tier first.”

The Skyfall Blade is his destined treasure.

Previously, it incorporated a Seventh Tier lower grade Ice Style spirit mine stone, but due to the lack of other spirit mine stones, its power was greatly reduced, only equivalent to a Class III Dao Domain.

If it could be promoted to match his Dao Domain, advancing it to the Seventh Tier ahead of time would be quite beneficial to him.

Yu Wuheng wasn’t interested in this spirit mine stone either and casually tossed it to Wang Ba, who stowed it away.

This was, indeed, a good harvest for Wang Ba.

“This trip to the Sea Market, without counting anything else, just this piece of ore alone was worth it.”

Wang Ba felt a sense of comfort in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something and turned his head, looking towards the direction from which they had come.

There, he could vaguely still see the remnants of a sea mirage, seemingly dissipating bit by bit.

“Could it be that the true location of the sea mirage has been found? Or will it simply vanish?”

Wang Ba couldn’t help but think.

“It seems nobody truly knows where the real location of the sea mirage is, but people always want to find that place. If it’s real, that’s fine; but if it’s false, it’s just an illusion!”

Chen Xuan shook his head and sighed.

Wang Ba deeply agreed, nodding:

“Let’s go. We don’t need to worry about these things; it’s not far now, is it?”

“Almost there, see that mountain? I feel it’s just behind there, once we cross that mountain, we should be there.”

Chen Xuan pointed to a distant spot at the end of the starry sky, where a white hill was faintly visible.

It seemed to be entwined with clouds and mist, appearing both far and near.

Although seeing a hill in the starry sky was somewhat strange, Chen Xuan’s words undeniably lifted everyone’s spirits.

They immediately flew in the direction Chen Xuan pointed.

…

At the same time.

In a place completely opposite to Wang Ba and his group, above the grasslands, Immortal Energy lingered amidst the clouds, white mist rising, pavilions, courtyards, and rockeries…

Above these clouds, it seemed like a dream yet felt real, leaving people baffled.

What was even more surprising was that from the depths of these pavilions and courtyards came faint sounds of hearty laughter, drinking, pieces falling in a chess game, and melodies played on a bamboo flute…

Figures stared intensely at these illusions.

As time passed, more and more people entered the Sea Market, and their status increasingly elevated.

Amongst these figures at present, there were a few particularly noteworthy.

Li Zhongping from the Jade Pot Realm, Lu Shifu from the Double Body Realm, from the Holy Desecration Realm… King Yan Zhi from the Big People Country, from the Qianri Palace…

Sitting in authority within the market, people from all major forces could no longer contain themselves and entered personally.

Even though they had connections reaching the sky within the market, easily controlling life and death, the rise and fall of many forces.

Yet in front of this seemingly ordinary Mirage, they were utterly helpless.

They also engaged in careful discussions among themselves.

“Still can’t get closer.”

Beside Li Zhongping, Zu Wenqiu reverted to his original appearance, his expression somewhat grim:

“This Mirage is really strange; you can only see it but can’t approach it. I’ve tried many times, no matter how I fly, I seem to never reach its end; I can’t get close at all.”

Li Zhongping’s expression was unusually heavy, looking at this phantom, he frowned upon hearing this:

“If it were so easy to approach, the mystery of the Mirage wouldn’t fall to us to solve… I’ve heard that this Mirage could potentially reflect the location of celestial beings in the Heavens. If we can unravel the mystery of this Mirage, perhaps we might find a way to transcend tribulation, even ascend.”

“Unfortunately, the Taoist Master couldn’t come…”

Zu Wenqiu couldn’t hold back and said:

“Why didn’t he come considering such an important matter? Given Master’s capability, among everyone in this Sea Market now, Master alone probably has the qualifications to unlock the mystery of this Mirage. Once resolved, it would promise tribulation-transcending, wouldn’t it be better than refining there…”

“Silence!”

Li Zhongping suddenly reprimanded.

Even though both were in the late-stage Unification, he berated Zu Wenqiu without any burden.

“…Yes.”

Though unwilling, Zu Wenqiu dared not defy Li Zhongping, his attention once more shifted to the Mirage, curiously asking:

“This Mirage reflects where celestial beings reside; but if celestial beings are in the Heavens, even if it reflects here, how can we possibly find them?”

“Who said all celestial beings reside in the Heavens?”

Li Zhongping shook his head upon hearing this:

“Did you forget why the Sea of Chaos appeared?”

Zu Wenqiu was taken aback, quickly realizing:

“You’re saying the two celestial beings who fought each other…”

Li Zhongping sighed and said:

“I’ve heard these two descended to fight over some object, so celestial beings, too, have troubles and burdens similar to ours. It’s possible the surviving celestial being might still be in this Sea of Chaos.”

This rumor was familiar to Zu Wenqiu as well.

He also sighed and said:

“I wonder what kind of treasure it must be to entice even celestial beings… to the point of risking death.”

“Who knows.”

Li Zhongping shook his head, his gaze swept across the leaders of the Double Body Realm, Holy Desecration Realm, and other forces, a cold gleam flickering in his eyes:

“But, if we truly uncover its secrets this time, haha, no matter who it is, don’t dream of taking any advantage from us in the Jade Pot Realm!”

This concerned a matter of the Tribulation-Transcending Realm, leaving no room for kindness.

Zu Wenqiu nodded and quietly watched.

Various forces had already dispatched people to enter the Mirage.

Yet all returned without success.

Everyone could only watch as time passed, and the previously clear illusions finally dimmed little by little, until they vanished completely.

Then, to everyone’s astonishment, it transformed into a faint stream of light and shot toward the distance.

There, those with extraordinary eyesight could faintly see a white hill.

After a moment of dazed surprise, all forces went into frenzy!

“Quick!”

“Keep up!”

In an instant, countless figures flew at high speed toward the direction of the white hill!
