365: Involving Eternity (Part 3)

"Someone has already set it up long ago!" Long Yuan said in a deep voice, a sinister smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

This is even better; the great battle will break out without him having to make the first move.

Because outside this city, a terrifying Grand Array is already hidden in the shadows, waiting for the fish to enter the net before it activates.

Originally, he hadn't noticed it and almost walked into the Grand Array. However, when he looked into the distance, the System gave him a prompt: there was actually a half-step Wu Dao-Grade killing Grand Array outside the city!

Once inside, apart from the experts secretly controlling the Grand Array, it would likely be extremely difficult for the Martial Artists in this city to leave.

"Let's go, let's go to the city wall, drink tea, and watch the show!" Long Yuan said to the others.

Moreover, he was very curious, what kind of force could actually set up such a terrifying Grand Array?

The auction had ended, but none of the Martial Artists who had successfully bid for treasures left first. Because at this time, whoever ran the fastest signaled that they might have good items in their hands, and they would very likely become the target of everyone's hunt.

After Long Yuan and the others stepped onto the city wall, many more Martial Artists arrived.

"Fellow Daoist Long, we meet again!" Yan Ding and Liu Langtian had also arrived, and after spotting Long Yuan, the two came over and cupped their hands in greeting.

After all, the other party had now become an existence at the same level as them, perhaps even stronger, so they could not afford to be negligent!

Long Yuan also cupped his hands and said, "The auction held by your pavilion has truly opened my eyes!"

"It is only a pity that my wealth is limited, and I can only sigh in regret!"

"Ashamed, ashamed. It must be that there were no treasures in this auction that could catch your Dharma Eye, which led to you returning empty-handed. It is truly our fault. Next time, there will certainly be better auction items, and I invite you to grace us with your presence then!"

Yan Ding smiled. There were too many people participating in this auction, and he didn't know if Long Yuan had actually bid on any treasures. However, even if he had really bid on something, the other party would never actually say it out loud!

After some commercial flattery, everyone sat on the city wall, waiting for the great battle to arrive!

"Your Excellency is the host, is it really appropriate to watch the battle so openly?" Long Yuan asked Yan Ding. The other party was one of the deacons of the Treasure Pavilion in the Chaotic Sky Domain and represented the Treasure Pavilion. Yet, here he was, sitting and watching many experts fight over the treasures they had just auctioned off. Was he not afraid of causing resentment among those people?

"It's fine, we are just watching. As long as we don't participate, they are already very grateful to us!"

After every auction, a world-shaking battle would break out outside this city, and everyone was used to it!

"Haha, that's also true!" Long Yuan nodded. Otherwise, with the strength of the Treasure Pavilion, there would truly be few people in this Southern Realm who could be their opponents!

Long Yuan hadn't expected those people to be so cautious; for half a month, no one had left the city. Finally, as time passed, some Martial Artists of average strength began to leave the city, but every time someone left, many people would always follow behind them.

But whether the person in front was carrying a heavy treasure, or if someone among those following behind was carrying a heavy treasure, no one knew. The illusions and realities, the truths and falsehoods—these people played them perfectly!

Gradually, experts began to leave the city, and immediately followed by the outbreak of terrifying battles.

Those who hadn't bid on any treasures obtained some information through certain special channels, and when the other party left the city, they launched fierce sieges against them.

Especially those Martial Artists who hadn't bid on any treasures; they didn't care whether the other party had actually bid on any treasures. Whenever they saw a Martial Artist appear, they would just rob them. If they managed to rob them, it was just good luck!

Some people wanted to take advantage of the chaos when the battle broke out to slip out of the city, but without exception, they were all dragged into the battle.

Long Yuan frowned slightly and said, "What is going on? There are actually so many Hongmeng Supreme Realm experts?"

According to what Chu Qiu had said, the Supreme Realm was almost the ceiling here, and even if there were Hongmeng Supreme Realm experts, their numbers would be very rare.

Yet, in his perception, quite a few experts of this Realm had appeared. Could there really be so many experts in one Chaotic Sky Domain?

"Those are experts from other domains, here to fight for the heavenly dao token!" Yan Ding said, looking at the battle in the distance. There, several terrifying, towering figures were engaged in fierce combat. Vast divine light shot into the sky, spreading towards this side, but was blocked by the Grand Array around the city.

That was the Hongmeng Supreme Realm experts fighting! Such experts mostly came for divine gold and the heavenly dao token, and only Supreme experts like them could afford to bid on such treasures.

"Why does everyone want to join the Heavenly Dao Palace?" Long Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Hmm... It is said that within the Heavenly Dao Palace, there is the secret to Breakthrough to the Eternal!" Yan Ding didn't hide anything. For experts like them, learning about these things was only a matter of time!

"Eternal?" Long Yuan was startled. Was this "Eternal" the same Eternal as the Primordial Azure Lotus? Was it indestructible through ten thousand kalpas?

"Is this true?" Long Yuan asked.

"Who knows? Even if it's fake, some people take it as true, and even if it's true, we wouldn't know if it's fake!"

"Anyway, those experts are all putting in all their effort to enter the Heavenly Dao Palace, so let's just assume it's true for now!"

Yan Ding watched as more and more Hongmeng Supreme Realm experts gathered over there, and the fighting became increasingly intense. With so many Hongmeng Supreme Realm experts gathered together, the heavenly dao token was likely there!

At this moment, outside the city, it had already turned into a chaotic mess. Martial Artists were constantly bleeding and falling, and the scent of blood permeated every corner. Suddenly, two figures also joined the battle. They were two experts whose bodies were blooming with monstrous flames, and the intense heat radiating from their bodies seemed to be melting the Void Realm!

"Hiss, two Supreme Divine Fires appeared at the same time?"

"Are there so many Supreme Divine Fires in this world?" Long Yuan looked at the battlefield in surprise. The flames radiating from those two people clearly had the aura of Supreme Divine Fire. But he had just seen one Supreme Divine Fire not long ago, and now two more had appeared? Could this thing be so worthless?

"Those are experts from the Divine Fire Sect, from the same force as the Akafire Taoist you killed!"

"It is said that the Divine Fire Sect has secret techniques specifically for suppressing and subduing Supreme Divine Fire. They roam every corner of the Primordial Ancient Realm year-round, searching for strange fires between heaven and earth. It is said that their force already possesses several Supreme Divine Fires!" Yan Ding explained.

"With so many Supreme Divine Fires, aren't they afraid of being targeted by others?"

"Haha, who would dare? The Old Ancestor of the Divine Fire Sect is a genuine Wu Dao Realm titan; no one has yet dared to snatch their Supreme Divine Fire!"

"You are the exception!" Yan Ding said with a smile. In the Divine Fire Sect, the Supreme Divine Fire is their symbol; they themselves can die, but the Supreme Divine Fire cannot be lost!

"Then haven't I completely forged a deadly feud with them?" Long Yuan stroked his chin.

"If you are willing to return the Supreme Divine Fire, perhaps you might still be able to turn hostility into friendship. In this matter, I could perhaps put in a good word for Your Excellency!" Yan Ding said, looking at Long Yuan.
