Yuan Central Continent, Purple Cloud Sacred Land,
At this mont,
Seven Sword, wearing a blue Daoist robe, was sitting cross-legged on a ditation cushion. Around him, the Spiritual Energy gathered so thickly that it ford spiritual fog.
Behind him, the seven swords that gave him his na hovered in the air, their hilts pointing toward his back.
Each sword emitted a different Law or Authority he had comprehended, all of them absorbing Spiritual Energy.
Holding the communication talisman, he had an excited expression as he listened to the report.
"Unexpected... Even if there’s just a small chance, it’s truly unexpected!" He mumbled, his eyes gleaming with a strange light, "A Ruler Realm cultivator can’t kill another Ruler Realm cultivator with just one attack... Did any Sage intervene!?"
But he quickly shook his head, "If a Sage had acted, the news wouldn’t have been hidden. Yun Wuji– no, Lucian must have discovered a Sage Inheritance from an ancient era... and Qi Ye must have found out about it. To protect himself, Lucian might have used the life-saving thod left by that Sage!
Very interesting...
Should I provoke that Demon Prince to chase after Lucian to test the water... no, forget it, forget it..."
As a personal Disciple of a Sage himself, Seven Sword knew many secrets that Ninth Saint Xu Li didn’t know.
"It seems Junior Brother plans to wait until he’s inside the Tribulation Realm," After a mont of contemplation, Seven Sword thought to himself.
"Elder Zi, rember to take the Inheritance Sword from Junior Brother before he enters the Tribulation Realm," Seven Sword sent back through the communication talisman.
"This old man understands," Elder Zi replied through the talisman.
Although he was appointed as the Dao Guard of the Ninth Saint Heir Xu Li by the Purple Cloud Sacred Land, he didn’t feel much loyalty toward this arrogant Ninth Heir.
Moreover the position of Ninth Saint Heir was unstable and could be challenged by anyone in the Sect.
Hence when the First Saint Heir approached him, he didn’t hesitate to betray Xu Li.
Placing the communication talisman inside his Space Ring, Seven Sword narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharpening like a sword.
"Soone with great Qi Fortune! Junior Brother, it appears you won’t be able to kill such a person," Seven Sword waved his hand and one of the swords flew into his palm.
This long sword was snow-white, with incomprehensible runes etched along its blade.
As he gently rubbed the blade of his sword, he whispered to himself, "Should I visit master?
Forget it, even if this Lucian obtained the true Inheritance of a Sage from the past era, that path is essentially flawed...
So why should I bother with it?
I’m more curious about Daoist Qin’s Inheritance. I wonder what Authority he comprehended?!
Oh well, I’ll deal with that later when the ti cos.
The Ascension Path is about to open, I should concentrate on evolving my remaining two Laws into Authorities."
Then he chuckled softly, "What do you think, Junior Sister? Don’t you want to leave this Sealed Realm with ?"
A sword cry echoed through the ditation chamber...
But those with profound Cultivation in Sword Dao would notice this cry seed as if a maiden was crying, filled with sorrow and regret!

Hanxu Dynasty, Immortal Phoenix Hall,
Right now, four of them were cuddling on the wide black sofa, watching the spirit screen with exhausted eyes.
Lucian sat with Iris nestled against his right side, and Sylvia curled up against his left side. While Nysa sat between his legs, her head resting against his right thigh.
"Nysa, don’t you need to comprehend five basic Elents to break through to Soul Integration stage?" Lucian sipped wine and asked, his crimson eyes fixed on the auction below where Dao Bone was being auctioned.
Nysa nodded, "But young master, I think inside the Tribulation Realm, there’ll be enough Spiritual Beasts with Dao Bones. So we can just kill them and use their Dao Bones to quickly increase our comprehension."
"I guess you’re right," Lucian nodded calmly.
However, for those who couldn’t enter the Tribulation Realm, this was an opportunity to acquire sothing that might otherwise take them years or even decades to find.
The auction hall was filled with excitent as voices shouted higher and higher bids.
In the end, the Water Law Dao Bone was sold for 91,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones to a middle-aged cultivator representing an Empire.
After that, Dao Bones with other elents were brought onto the stage – Fire, Earth, Thunder, and Wind. Each one being sold higher than the last one!
The Earth Law Dao Bone fetched 95,000, while the Fire Law Dao Bone reached an astonishing 105,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones!
But none interested Lucian’s group.
After the ti it took for two incense sticks to burn, the atmosphere in the auction hall suddenly changed.
A six ters tall cage was placed on the auction stage, with a black cloth covering it.
"Fellow Daoists and Honoured guests, our next item is a criminal from the Demon Continent," Elder Wu waved his hand and the cloth fell away, revealing what was inside.
Within the cage, a burly demon with red skin and a single horn protruding from his forehead sat cross-legged. Both his legs and hands were bound in heavy chains which suppressed his Cultivation.
His muscles swelled like mountains beneath his tattered robes, and his yellow eyes burned with murderous intent as he looked over the gathering crowd.
Imdiately, many Spiritual Senses swept over the demon, probing his Cultivation.
But at this mont, a strange thing happened!
The part of robes covering the demon’s lower region suddenly moved aside, revealing a red demonic cock!
Everyone looked with a strange expression, so cultivators even laughing while female Cultivators turned away in disgust.
"Cough! This demon is from the one-horned tribe of the demon race. As you can sense, this big guy has a Cultivation realm of Peak Divinity Transformation. He can also use the unique flas of Demon Race," Elder Wu coughed.
"The Starting price is 100,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increasing by 2,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones!" Elder Wu announced, his voice echoing through the auction hall.
No one from the common area dared to bid, they just watched with interest.
After all, controlling a Peak Divinity Transformation demon required high Cultivation and resources.
However, several private rooms lit up, indicating bids from powerful cultivators hidden behind closed doors.
Within monts, the price soared to 160,000 mid-grade Spirit Stones!
Just when everyone thought that would be the final price, a woman’s voice suddenly echoed through the hall, "20,000 High-grade Spirit Stones!"
Because the voice was changed through formations, nobody could identify who made the bid.
Yet the authoritative tone in the voice made it clear to all that this waman was soone of high status.
The entire auction hall suddenly fell silent at the woman’s bid.
"I wonder which fellow Daoist is so busy with Dao that even forget to spend ti with his Daoist partner... What a strong Dao Heart! Truly admirable!"
Imdiately the hall erupted with thunderous laughter.
"Brother, let’s visit the dicine hall after the auction. This old bone of mine can hardly move now. I don’t want my partner to find soone else..." An old man whispered carefully.
"Screw off, do you think I’ll need so dicine to satisfy my Daoist partner?" The young cultivator cut him off loudly.
"Old Lu, if you want, I can help introduce you to my master’s special cultivation technique – the Everlasting Jade Pillar thod. It guarantees to keep your Dragon standing for three days and three nights without rest!"
"Three days? Hah! My technique can last six days! I call it the Nine Dragons Plunging Into Sea!"
"Both of you are bragging! Everyone knows the Heaven Breaking Thrust can last for ten days!"
Even Lucian couldn’t help but laugh inside his private room.
Elder Wu coughed several tis, trying to restore order. His face twitched as he spoke loudly,
"Respected Daoists, please behave appropriately! This is an auction hall, not a tavern!"
After waiting for a mont and seeing no further bids, Elder Wu announced, "This demon slave is sold to the honored guest in private room twenty-five for 20,000 High-grade Spirit Stones!"
