Upon hearing this, Luo Wushuang's eyes flickered with a hint of light, then dimmed once more.
As the Lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one of the Four Great Dynasties, he was well aware that the auction hosted by the Great Qin Dynasty this time was no ordinary auction.
Rumor had it that it was organized by the Tianqing Province branch of the Ancient Desolate Merchant Association. As for why it was held within the Tianwu Dynasty, it was, of course, because the Great Qin Dynasty was the overlord of Qing Province.
Only an overlord of a province like the Great Qin Dynasty could persuade the Ancient Desolate Merchant Association to host such a grand auction within its Dynasty.
After all, the Ancient Desolate Merchant Association would not bother with a weak Dynasty.
An auction organized by the Ancient Desolate Merchant Association was incomparable to those held by ordinary merchant associations.
Its influence was immense, and at that time, major forces from other great provinces in the Southern Wilderness Region would flock to attend.
How could his Great Zhou compete with those major forces?
Luo Wushuang sighed inwardly.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, a glimmer of light flashed in Luo Wushuang's previously dim eyes.
"I wonder if the Sect Master will be interested in this auction!" he thought to himself.
If Lu Chen knew his current thoughts, he would probably be eager to immediately take everyone there and stir up some trouble.
Lu Chen was currently racking his brain on how to make the Kunlun Sect famous and establish its reputation in Qing Province.
"Father, why don't we tell the Sect Master about the auction and see if he is interested?" Ling Xue also thought of something at this moment. She had been intelligent and exceptionally talented since childhood, so how could she not know that this auction was likely not simple, seeing her father's expression?
Therefore, she suggested it.
After all, the Kunlun Sect was too mysterious. Even though she was now a Disciple of Kunlun, she was still unsure of how strong the Kunlun Sect's foundation truly was.
But she was certain that if Lu Chen was willing to go to the Great Qin Dynasty this time, the Great Zhou's position at the auction would not be too wary of other forces.
Hearing this, Luo Wushuang looked at his daughter with a pleased expression.
She truly was his Luo Wushuang's daughter!
So intelligent.
She saw through her father's thoughts at a glance!
"Good, Ling Xue, let's go tell the Sect Master now," Luo Wushuang said with some anticipation. He also hoped that Lu Chen would be interested in the auction. That way, if there truly was Spirit Medicine or even a Saint Medicine at the auction that could help the Old Ancestor recover from his injuries, he would contend for it without fearing the threats of those major forces.
However, what he didn't know was that every force attending this auction was beyond the Great Zhou Dynasty's ability to contend with.
—
Inside the Main Hall.
"Oh?"
"An auction?"
Lu Chen, seated in the main seat, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes, looked at Luo Wushuang below.
It was truly a case of someone bringing a pillow when he was sleepy!
He was just worrying about how to make the Kunlun Sect's name resound throughout Qing Province!
And now, it was delivered right to his doorstep!
After listening to the two of them, Lu Chen also showed an interested expression.
"Sect Master, this auction is organized by the Ancient Desolate Merchant Association, and there's news that a Heaven Spirit Pill will appear at the auction!" Seeing that Lu Chen seemed interested, Luo Wushuang quickly said.
"At that time, forces from other great provinces in the Southern Wilderness Region will come. Such a grand event, I wonder if the Sect Master is willing to attend!"
Luo Wushuang said excitedly.
Upon hearing that it was organized by the Ancient Desolate Merchant Association, Ling Xue, who was beside him, was incredibly shocked. She had originally thought it was just an ordinary auction hosted by the Great Qin Dynasty, but she never expected it to be the Ancient Desolate Merchant Association!
And the Heaven Spirit Pill!
That was a top-grade Spirit Pill that could increase the chance of Void Tempering Realm Cultivators breaking through to the Heavenly King Realm by sixty percent!
Of course, what they didn't know was that Cultivators who broke through to the Heavenly King Realm using the Heaven Spirit Pill were like heaven and earth compared to those who broke through by their own comprehension.
In an era where Saints did not emerge, the Heavenly King Realm was an existence that overlooked an entire region, an existence found only in major forces!
That was something Luo Wushuang dared not even imagine.
"Oh?"
"Ancient Desolate Merchant Association?"
Seeing that Lu Chen seemed to have never heard of the Ancient Desolate Merchant Association, Luo Wushuang was stunned, shocked inwardly.
How could this be!
Isn't the Kunlun Sect a reclusive great Sect?
Could it be that it's not a force from the Ancient Era, otherwise, how could the Sect Master not know about the Ancient Desolate Merchant Association!
One must know that it has been a million years since the Ancient Era. Every force that has been passed down from the Ancient Era until now is a super force on the Immortal Martial Continent!
The Ancient Desolate Merchant Association is one of them, and as the largest merchant association on the Immortal Martial Continent, it has countless branches in every region. This auction is being held by the Qing Province branch.
As for the main merchant association, it is in the Zhongtian Region, which is the true Cultivation Holy Land in the eyes of countless Cultivators at the center of the continent.
"Impossible!"
"The Kunlun Sect cannot be a force from the Mythological Era; that was an era tens of millions of years ago!"
The era before the Ancient Era was the most glorious and prosperous, a brilliant era on the Immortal Martial Continent.
That was a golden age where various Emperors coexisted and God Kings stood, also known as the Mythological Era by later generations.
Moreover, ancient records state that the Great Emperors of the Mythological Era were drawn to the Upper Realm by a powerful force on the same day, leaving behind only their respective Legacies.
And by the Ancient Era, although it couldn't compare to the Mythological Era, many Great Emperors had also appeared. This Ancient Desolate Merchant Association was founded by a Great Emperor during the Ancient Era.
As for whether there is an Upper Realm, that was beyond Luo Wushuang's knowledge.
Luo Wushuang trembled inwardly, he dared not think any further!
He panicked, he panicked, he was truly panicking!
If Lu Chen knew his inner conjectures at this moment, he would probably give him a big slap.
Damn it!
I wasn't from this world originally, of course I've never heard of it!
After calming his inner shock, Luo Wushuang continued.
"Sect Master, this Ancient Desolate Merchant Association was founded by a Great Emperor during the Ancient Era. Its Legacy has lasted for a million years, and no one knows how strong its foundation is."
Ancient Era?
A force established by a Great Emperor!
Lu Chen was also surprised inwardly.
A Great Emperor, this was beyond his current reach, but with the System, as long as he developed the Sect and recruited more Genius Disciples, continuously acquiring System Summoning Cards, he believed he would soon be able to summon a Great Emperor expert.
"However, this auction is worth attending. Perhaps I can encounter one or two Geniuses, and it might even trigger a System task."
Having made his decision, Lu Chen looked at Luo Wushuang.
"Good, we will depart tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Luo Wushuang's expression became excited. He hadn't expected Lu Chen to agree; the Old Ancestor's injuries might have a chance to recover!
And Ling Xue's face also showed joy.
...
The next day.
Kunlun Sect Plaza.
Everyone was waiting for Lu Chen to appear.
At this moment, a voice slowly came.
"Let's go, depart."
Everyone saw Lu Chen, clad in white robes with an extraordinary demeanor, slowly approaching.
With a single step, he instantly appeared before everyone.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
Everyone hurriedly bowed respectfully.
...
Qing Province.
Great Qin Dynasty.
In front of an enormous, ancient, and weathered city.
If one looked closely, they would notice faint runes appearing on the city walls, like a large net covering the entire colossal ancient city.
The ancient city's gates were wide open, and on both sides of the massive gate stood several Great Qin Imperial Guards in armor, each subtly exuding a powerful aura.
At this time, countless Cultivators were arriving from different places and entering the ancient city.
There were also groups of Elders from major forces or powerful Families from Qing Province and other provinces, bringing their respective people.
Whoosh whoosh...
Several figures appeared.
It was Lu Chen and the others who had come from the Kunlun Sect.
Wang Ming and the others had also been following Lu Chen, while Chen Beixuan, who was in the Void Tempering Realm, was hidden in the shadows.
"Have you heard? The Feather Transformation Dynasty was destroyed."
"Are you looking for death?!"
"The Feather Transformation Dynasty is one of the Four Great Dynasties of Qing Province; how could it be destroyed?"
"If the Feather Transformation Dynasty finds out, you won't even know how you died!"
A Loose Cultivator hurriedly covered the mouth of his loose-tongued companion.
His eyes darted around nervously, fearing that someone might have heard.
However, Lu Chen and the others still heard this.
They also found it amusing.
"Rest assured, the Feather Transformation Dynasty was indeed destroyed. My Kunlun Sect destroyed it!"
"Sect Master, this ancient city is truly massive!"
At this moment, Lin Yun, as if he had never seen the world, looked at the ancient city before him with gleaming eyes.
When had Lin Yun ever seen such a colossal and ancient city? His Family was originally a small Family, and its strongest member was only in the Divine Treasury Realm.
How could such a large ancient city not shock him!
Let alone him.
Even Lu Chen was astonished by the ancient city before him.
After all, Lu Chen was not originally from this world, and it was his first time seeing a city built by Cultivators on the Immortal Martial Continent.
He hadn't expected it to be so vast and magnificent.
However, despite Lu Chen's inner shock, his expression remained calm and composed, and his eyes were deep, as if the magnificent ancient city before him was just an ordinary city in his eyes.
Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Lu Chen's face instantly darkened.
It was truly a case of what you feared, came to pass!
"I will never bring this kid out again; he's too damn embarrassing!"
Just as Lu Chen was complaining inwardly, a buzzing sound occurred.
Someone shouted loudly.
"Look!"
"Hiss!"
"Which force is this, to have such a grand display! Aren't they afraid of being punished for acting like this within the Great Qin Dynasty?"
Everyone discussed animatedly.
"I never expected that even the Tianwu Dynasty would send people to this auction!"
"Tianwu Dynasty?"
"Could it be..."
"That's right, it's the overlord force of Tian Province, the Tianwu Dynasty."
The crowd in front of the city gate looked at an ancient warship in the sky, incredibly shocked. An experienced Cultivator Elder revealed the warship's origin.
