The cultivators of the Three Realms would definitely return to the Three Realms Island. This was not just Brother Wu and Brother Yu's speculation. Most of the Yue Yaos thought the same.
As long as Yue Yao from the Three World Island was not crazy, she would not continue to stay on the Baiyue Island.
So the question was, how should Bai Yue Island be dealt with?
It had not been easy for them to conquer such a superior spiritual island. They could not possibly throw it away.
To be honest, there had never been such a precedent in the Vientiane Sea. Normally, those who had the strength to attack a high-class spiritual island would occupy it after conquering it. Hence, there was no problem of how to deal with it.
However, the Three World Island's situation was clearly different. The Three World Island was still there, and they could retreat at any time. However, Bai Yue had been captured by them.
This blissful worry was truly enviable.
However, Yue Yao soon found out how Three World Island was going to deal with Bai Yue.
Because a short moment later, a voice suddenly sounded out from Baiyue Island, "I'm Luan Xiaoe, and I'm the Grand Isle Master of the Three World Island. I sincerely invite Fellow Daoists who intend to take over Baiyue Island to ascend the island. In two hours, my Three World Island will be holding an auction to determine the ownership of Baiyue Island."
Her voice wasn't loud, but thanks to Yue Yao's peak-stage cultivation base, all the spectating cultivators could hear her clearly.
Everyone was taken aback at first, but then they revealed a matter-of-fact expression.
Auction!
Yes, this was indeed a very good idea.
The cultivators of the Three World Island couldn't occupy two high-class spiritual islands at the same time, but after spending so much effort to take down Baiyue Island, they couldn't just abandon it. That would be too much of a waste. After all, it was a high-class spiritual island with great value.
Therefore, auctioning off the ownership of Bai Yue Island was the best and most practical method. This way, the Three World Island would not have to face the awkward situation of not being able to occupy two high-class spiritual islands. It would also bring in a large amount of income for the cultivators on the island.
Auctioning the ownership of a high-grade Spiritual Island was something that had never happened on the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea before. Therefore, when Luan Xiaoe finished speaking, many Yue Yao revealed looks of interest. Many Yue Yao were even tempted.
Among them, there were those from high-class Spiritual Islands. Naturally, they did not have much interest in Baiyue Island. However, this was a once-in-a-lifetime event. Of course, they were willing to join in the fun and take a look at the novelty.
Most of them were Yue Yao who did not come from a high-grade Spiritual Island.
The forces behind them actually had a good foundation. However, it was not easy to attack and occupy a superior Spiritual Island. This was because the superior Spiritual Islands in the Vientiane Sea had been in operation for many years. Their defensive power was very strong. It was basically impossible to take them down with the same foundation.
Take Four Corner Island for example. The four of them were at the late stage of the Moon Jade Realm and had a thousand constellations. They were barely qualified to occupy a high-class Spirit Island, but in reality, they could only occupy a middle-class Spirit Island.
They had tried it once before, but in the end, their home was almost stolen. They panicked and hurriedly withdrew their troops.
The Four Way Galaxy was not the only one in the Ten Thousand Manifestations Sea that had encountered such a situation.
Now that there was an opportunity to occupy a superior spiritual island without shedding a drop of blood, who wouldn't be tempted? Of course, he would have to pay a hefty price. After all, this was an auction for a Superior Spiritual Island. The price was ridiculously low.
For a time, a large number of Yue Yao rushed towards Baiyue Island from all directions.
This was the first time in the Vientiane Sea that an auction for the ownership of a superior spiritual island was held. Was this against the rules? No one knew. However, because there had never been such a precedent, no Sunshine Protector had ever set any rules for this.
On the Three World Island's side, Luan Xiaoe and He Baichuan led the way. A few Yue Yao warmly welcomed the Yue Yao who had rushed over after hearing the news. This allowed Luan Xiaoe to get to know many Yue Yao experts from the various Spirit Islands.
Baiyue Island's Conference Hall was dilapidated. The aftermath of the previous battle had spread here. Fortunately, it was not completely damaged.
Two hours later, the Conference Hall was filled with Yue Yao. There were at least three hundred people present.
These three hundred people represented at least two hundred different factions. However, no one knew how many of them were here to join in the fun, or how many of them were genuinely interested in bidding for the ownership of Baiyue Island.
Luan Xiaoe was still the host. On the surface, she was still the First Island Lord of the Three World Island.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Luan Xiaoe smiled slightly and said, "Thank you all for coming. It was not easy for the Three World Island to occupy Baiyue Island today. With such a high-class Spirit Island, the Three World Island has suffered great losses."
When she said this, the three hundred Yue Yao could not help but want to laugh.
They had all seen how great the Three World Island's losses were. However, since Luan Xiaoe said this, they could only listen.
"I don't think I need to explain the value of a high-class Spirit Island. The Three World Island is enough for the cultivators of the Three World Island. If the Baiyue Island had not gone overboard and secretly attacked the Three World Yue Yao, we would not have come to cause trouble. Now that we have conquered Baiyue Island, the cultivators of the Three World Island do not intend to stay for long. Therefore, we are prepared to auction off the ownership of this island."
Someone was impatient and shouted, "Island Lord Luan, let's cut the crap. Just tell us how the auction is going to be held."
Luan Xiaoe looked in the direction of the person who spoke and continued to smile. "Alright. Since you are so eager, let's just talk about the rules." She paused for a moment, then said, "Fellow Daoists who are interested in bidding only need to inscribe their price and origins into a jade slip. I will choose the most sincere Fellow Daoist. When the time comes, the faction that this Fellow Daoist belongs to will obtain the ownership of Baiyue Island!"
The Yue Yao suddenly understood. This was a secret auction. No one would bid openly. There would be less competition on the surface, which would undoubtedly be more efficient. Moreover, it was obviously very beneficial to the Three World Island.
This was because no one knew how valuable Baiyue Island was. Something like this had never happened before.
However, the factions that truly wanted to take over Baiyue Island would definitely not be stingy with their bids. This was because they only had one chance to bid. They would only have one chance to easily take over a high-class Spirit Island. This way, the Three World Island would be able to obtain the greatest benefits for themselves.
After explaining the rules, Luan Xiaoe said, "Fellow Daoists, you have five minutes to discuss. After that, please give me the jade slip with your bids."
After she finished speaking, she sat down and waited quietly.
In the main hall, Divine Senses immediately surged. Many Yue Yao took out their musical notes. It was obvious that they wanted to send messages to the factions behind them to ask how they should bid.
This was done too hastily. Before the Three World Island announced the auction, no one had expected Baiyue Island to be dealt with like this. Hence, no one was prepared.
Five minutes was very short. Hence, if they wanted to take over Baiyue Island, they would have to be very bold.
In the main hall, Zhou Chuang and Kang Cheng were also communicating with their Divine Senses. The Four Directions Galaxies also wanted a high-class Spirit Island. Baiyue Island was a good choice. This way, they could attract more cultivators from the Four Directions Galaxies to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea.
However, they were somewhat hesitant about how to bid. If they bid too low, they would definitely not be able to compete with others. If they bid too high, they would not be able to afford it.
Just as they were in a dilemma, Zhou Chuang suddenly sensed the movement of the musical note. He hurriedly took it out and his eyes lit up.
Kang Cheng sensed something and sent a voice transmission. "What's wrong?"
Zhou Chuang smiled slightly. "Fellow Daoist Lu sent a message and asked us to bid any price!"
Kang Cheng was stunned for a moment. Then, joy appeared on his face. "Fellow Daoist Lu means …"
Zhou Chuang nodded slightly.
Kang Cheng forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and could not help but sigh. "We owe him another big favor."
Kang Cheng raised his head and looked at the other Yue Yao in the main hall. He could not help but sigh. These people had been busy, but they probably did not expect that their efforts were destined to be in vain. Baiyue Island was going to be renamed Four Directions Island in the future!
"Senior Brother, Fellow Daoist Lu probably did this because he did not want to expose the relationship between the Three World Islands and Four Directions Island."
If that was not the case, there would be no need for such an auction. After Baiyue Island was taken over, the Three World Islands could have easily notified Four Directions Island to take over.
Using such an auction as a cover, no one would think that Four Directions Island and the Three World Islands were related. When the results were out, everyone would only think that Four Directions Island had bid the highest.
Giving Baiyue Island to the Four Directions Galaxies was not Lu Ye's last minute decision. When he first made the plan, he was actually not completely confident that he could take down Baiyue Island. After all, he could not predict the outcome of such a battle. He could only do his best and leave it to fate.
Fortunately, the final result was not bad.
The Three World Islands' cultivators had a shallow foundation in the Wanxiang Sea. Although the Mermaid Race was their most solid ally, it was not good to expose the Mermaid Race. Moreover, the Mermaid Race's population was too small.
The Four Directions Galaxies was a natural ally of the Three World Islands. Since that was the case, the better they developed, the better it would be for the Three World Islands.
Perhaps they would need the help of Four Directions Island in the future.
Therefore, after much consideration, Lu Ye decided to give Baiyue Island to the Four Directions Galaxies. No matter what, the Four Directions Islands had helped him when he was plotting against Baiyue Island.
Moreover, the Three World Islands had already gained a lot from this battle.
Because Baiyue Island was taken over too suddenly, the Baiyue cultivators were not mentally prepared. After taking over the island, the Three World Islands' cultivators directly looted Baiyue Island's treasury.
They did not loot a lot of spirit jades and spirit crystals, only about ten to twenty million of them. However, they did loot countless other resources.
After all, this was a spiritual island that had been in business for eight hundred years. Naturally, there were many good things in the treasury.
As for the spirit jades and spirit crystals, this was normal. Cultivators needed spirit jades and spirit crystals to cultivate. Baiyue Island might be a high grade spiritual island, but it did not have a lot of spirit jades and spirit crystals. After all, Baiyue Island did not have any trade activities.
In addition, the storage rings of the dead Baiyue cultivators were also collected. After careful calculation, except for Yu Huan, who was killed by Yuan Du, the other Yue Yao's belongings were all in the hands of the Three World Islands. There were also the storage rings of more than a thousand constellations that had died in battle.
Just the income from this alone was already a huge amount of wealth.
It could be said that this battle had greatly relieved the financial pressure on the Three World Islands. For a long time in the future, the cultivators of the Three World Islands would be able to live comfortably and would not have to worry about cultivation resources.
