Tang Xuanji and Tang Tianming were discussing something in a secret room in the market of the capital.
"Seventh Brother, have the people we sent to look for Wang Daoyou returned?" Tang Xuanji asked in a deep voice.
"They've returned. Thirteenth Brother personally went to the Underworld Corpse Sect. A Yuanying cultivator from the Underworld Corpse Sect received him, but he didn't reveal any information about Wang Daoyou. He just said that Wang Daoyou was in closed-door cultivation. Thirteenth Brother waited in the Underworld Corpse Sect for half a year, but didn't see Wang Daoyou, so he returned. Perhaps Wang Daoyou didn't leave the Great Song at all. We've been investigating both openly and secretly for the past two years, but we still haven't found Wang Daoyou. Could he have met with some accident?" Tang Tianming's eyes were filled with worry.
Tang Xuanji shook his head and said with uncertainty, "I don't think so. I saw Wang Daoyou sparring with Zhenren Ziyang with my own eyes. His divine power isn't much weaker than a late-stage Yuanying cultivator's. With his dual cultivation partner, the couple should be able to fight a late-stage Yuanying cultivator. The chances of them meeting with an accident are relatively low. It hasn't been 25 years yet. Maybe they'll return after a while."
Tang Tianming raised his eyebrows and said, "If Wang Daoyou still hasn't returned after 25 years, what should we do? We can't keep waiting for him, can we? We've already prepared the method to break the formation, so we can't keep waiting! In half a year, the large-scale auction we're holding will be held. In order to attract the Yuanying cultivators of both the Righteous and Devil Paths, we've taken out many rare treasures. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to attract the attention of the high-level cultivators of both the Righteous and Devil Paths. "
"If Wang Daoyou still doesn't show up in half a year, then let's set off first! If he arrives a few days later, we'll ask our 13th Brother, who was left behind to confuse the Righteous and Devil Factions, to inform him to rush to a certain place. We'll send someone to wait for him there. If he takes too much time, then forget it. Our Imperial family will search for the treasure with Zhenren Ziyang and Zhenren Ziyang. With the help of Zhenren Ziyang and Xuanzhenzi, we should be able to obtain a Divine Spiritual Treasure. As long as we have a Divine Spiritual Treasure, our Imperial family will be truly independent. We won't have to worry about the Righteous and Devil Factions anymore. "Tang Xuanji's face revealed an excited expression.
"Second Brother, didn't you say you were worried that Zhenren Ziyang and Xuan Zhenzi would be tempted by the money? Did you invite other Fellow Daoists as well? "Tang Tianming asked curiously.
"Hehe, don't worry! I've already made arrangements for this. You'll know when the time comes. In short, we won't lose out, "Tang Xuanji chuckled and said mysteriously.
Tang Tianming's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, but he didn't ask any further.
In a secluded pavilion, several black-robed cultivators were discussing something.
"Tsk tsk, Ghost Mulberry Wood, Blood Sifting Stone, and Violet Sifting Jade. These are all top-grade refining materials. The Imperial family is actually willing to put them up for auction. It seems like they're going to the Primordial Battlefield soon. This auction is only held by the Imperial family to attract our attention," the one-armed old man slowly analyzed.
"Senior Martial Brother Liu, are we going to participate in the auction or follow the Imperial family? If we follow the Imperial family, I'm afraid we won't have time to participate in the auction. If we participate in the auction, we won't be able to follow the Imperial family, "the middle-aged woman frowned and said hesitantly.
The one-armed old man smiled and said in a deep voice, "Why don't we participate? The Imperial family has already set up a stage. We'll play along with the Imperial family. After all, we know the location of the Primordial Battlefield. If we follow the Imperial family now, we'll easily alert them. I've already sent the message to Senior Martial Brother Zhao. Senior Martial Brother Zhao wants us to do what we should do and pretend that we don't know the Imperial family's plan. Once the auction is over, we'll return to the headquarters."
"Since it's Senior Martial Brother Zhao's idea, let's do as you say!" The middle-aged woman nodded and agreed.
The others also had no objections and expressed their agreement.
In a certain pavilion, Enlightened Heavenly Talisman and Enlightened Master Golden Moon were playing chess on a pristine white chessboard.
"Fellow Daoist Fu, it's been less than thirty years since the last auction. Why is the Imperial family holding another Yuanying level auction so soon? They've also taken out many rare items such as Sun Jade Stone, Moon Steel, Black Origin Jade, and other rare refining materials. In the past, the Imperial family didn't take out so many rare items when they held Yuanying auctions. At most, they would take out a few magic treasures refined by Yuanying cultivators. However, the scale of this auction is very different from the past. Recently, many Yuanying cultivators have appeared in the market, both righteous and demonic. Even the Buddhist sects have sent people. Even the Buddhist sects have sent Buddhist sects, "Enlightened Master Golden Moon said in a seemingly casual manner as he gently stroked a black chess piece.
"Hehe, if the Old Man's guess is correct, the Imperial family should've figured out a way to break the restriction of the secret realm. This auction is only a cover for them to divert our attention." Enlightened Heavenly Talisman chuckled and slowly said.
"Oh, then we'll have to keep a close eye on them. Don't let the Imperial family slip away under our noses, lest the Imperial family monopolize all the treasures in the secret realm."
Enlightened Heavenly Talisman shook his head and said, "No need. The Imperial family is holding a large-scale auction to attract our attention. If we keep a close eye on them and they discover us, they might not go to the secret realm. It's better for us to pretend that we don't know anything to avoid alerting them."
"But if we do that, how will we know the location of the secret realm?" Enlightened Master Golden Moon frowned and said.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Lin, why are you feigning ignorance? The Old Man doesn't believe that you haven't sent people to search for places where the secret realm might exist. Even if you can't confirm the exact location of the secret realm, you should at least know some places where it might exist. "Enlightened Heavenly Talisman chuckled and said meaningfully.
Enlightened Heavenly Talisman pondered for a moment and said, "I did send people to search for places where the secret realm might exist, but they didn't find anything. If they did, our Haoran Academy would've already gone in to take the treasures. The Taiqing Palace is a sect that has been passed down since ancient times. They should've found something!"
Enlightened Heavenly Talisman frowned and carefully looked at Enlightened Heavenly Talisman. After confirming that Enlightened Heavenly Talisman wasn't lying, his face revealed a hesitant expression.
"Fellow Daoist Fu, if you've found something, just say it! Although your Taiqing Palace is the number one sect of the Righteous Dao, if you want to monopolize an ancient battlefield, even if our Haoran Academy agrees, the other Righteous Dao sects and Diabolism sects may not agree. "Enlightened Heavenly Talisman said with a faint smile.
"Hmph, Fellow Daoist Lin, didn't you say that you didn't find anything? How do you know that the place the Imperial family wants to go to is the ancient battlefield? "Enlightened Heavenly Talisman's face darkened and said with some displeasure.
"Hehe, I just said that I didn't find a place where the secret realm might exist, but I didn't say that I didn't know that the secret realm was the ancient battlefield." Enlightened Heavenly Talisman chuckled.
"Well, since we've already said so much, let's not hide anymore. If you've found anything, just say it! Our Taiqing Palace can't monopolize an ancient battlefield, and neither can your Haoran Academy. If our two sects work together, we might be able to do it. "Enlightened Heavenly Talisman said with a serious expression.
Enlightened Heavenly Talisman thought for a moment, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "If it was an unknown secret realm, there wouldn't be any powerful restrictions. The Imperial family would have already broken through the restrictions and entered to obtain the treasures. Thinking about the scale of this auction, we speculate that the Imperial family should have found an ancient battlefield. In the ancient times, ancient cultivators were very powerful and would often seal a space to fight inside, or seal another space to train demonic beasts and use them to train their disciples. These places are all called ancient battlefields. These ancient battlefields all have one thing in common, which is that they are all very dangerous. There might be treasures inside, or it could be a lifeless space, or it could be a small world with abundant spiritual Qi. If I remember correctly, your Taiqing Palace's headquarters is connected to a small world. The spiritual Qi inside is abnormally abundant and there are many aged spiritual herbs growing inside."
