332: triple
Whoosh!
After clearing away the corpses of the Seven Immortals, Lin Yang and his group turned into several streaks of light and departed.
Not long after they left, two old figures appeared in the Void Realm not far from where they had been standing.
If Lin Yang and the others had not left, they would have recognized the two men at a glance.
Because these two were none other than Li Sanxuan, Deputy Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance, and Ouyang Quan, the person in charge of the auction house.
"I didn't expect the remaining map fragments to have been obtained by Red Crow so long ago; no wonder we could never find them..."
Ouyang Quan whispered, looking at Li Sanxuan beside him, "Vice Alliance Master Li, do we need to negotiate with that young friend?"
In fact, this map fragment was released by them intentionally, with the goal of drawing out other owners of the map fragments.
Otherwise, for such an important treasure map, even if the Immortal Alliance let it rot in their hands, they would never have put it up for auction.
Li Sanxuan heard this and said unhurriedly, "Do you think that, given this boy's personality, he would be willing to return the map to us?"
Ouyang Quan paused, then shook his head with a bitter smile, "I'm afraid not. This kid looks like the type who never suffers a loss. If we ask him for the map fragment openly, he might even lead his people to rebel against the Immortal Alliance."
Li Sanxuan nodded with a smile, "That little girl made some sense. We struggled for years and couldn't collect the complete heavenly god tree map, yet this boy obtained it without any effort. Perhaps, in the unseen realm... it really might be that the heavenly god tree chose him."
"He is indeed a lucky kid."
Ouyang Quan clicked his tongue with some jealousy. That was the heavenly god tree, one of the three legendary divine trees; even a true Immortal King would covet it.
"At the end of the day, it's just a map."
Li Sanxuan took a longer view and smiled indifferently, "If he can really bring back the heavenly god tree relying on just a map, then that would be a blessing for our Immortal Alliance..."
...
Millions of miles away.
On top of a green mountain, several sounds of wind breaking suddenly rang out, and then a few figures stepped out of the Void Realm and landed on the mountaintop.
It was Lin Yang and his party.
"A false alarm. I thought those two old men from the Immortal Alliance were going to make a move on us."
Lin Yang looked back with lingering fear, and after confirming no one was chasing them, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Not long ago, when he found the other two map fragments on Red Crow and prepared to piece the three heavenly god tree map fragments together, he vaguely sensed two extremely terrifying auras appearing in the Void Realm not far away.
Those auras were like an abyss or a deep sea, unfathomable, and countless times stronger than Red Crow, Fu Zhu, Black Pigeon, and the others.
It was clearly a true Immortal King standing there!
Furthermore, from the Immortal King's aura inadvertently revealed, Lin Yang even sensed the presence of acquaintances.
Fortunately, Li Sanxuan and Ouyang Quan did not show themselves in the end, allowing them to leave the place.
"Hee hee, those two old men didn't follow, so they probably don't intend to take it back. Let's try to piece the map together."
Aili waved her little hand, and the surrounding space immediately began to peel off piece by piece like a mirror.
This was her innate spatial authority. Lin Yang had marveled at it in the early years, and now it had reached a level that was unfathomable.
In an instant, Aili stripped the space they were in from the original world, effectively turning it into a special region that formed its own realm.
Within this stripped-away space, no external sensory power could penetrate, and even if someone stood outside and watched with the naked eye, they would see nothing.
Absolute safety!
Looking at the seemingly ancient and extraordinary map fragments in his hand, a look of curiosity welled up in Lin Yang's eyes. After rubbing his palms, under the gaze of Nangong Xueli and the others, he slowly aligned the missing patterns left on the edges of the three ancient diagrams and slowly pieced them together.
"Hmm..."
After the three map fragments were brought close, as if they had developed a sense of connection, they began to merge together on their own.
Not long after, a complete ancient diagram clearly appeared before the eyes of Lin Yang and the others.
In the center of that complete ancient diagram was an ancient, towering tree, bearing fruits shaped like little people, emitting an indescribable, special Dao rhyme.
Outside this ancient tree bearing humanoid fruits was a dim scene, as if it were a world shrouded in darkness, surrounded by Chaos.
"This is..."
Lin Yang and the others looked at the ancient diagram, exchanging glances, all a bit confused.
"What does this map mean?" Zhong Yu couldn't help but scratch his head and asked.
"Try using the Heavy Pupils." Lin Yang pondered for a moment and looked at Ji Kunchang.
Hearing this, Ji Kunchang immediately used his Heavy Pupils to scan it. However, after looking for a long time, he still could not see anything unusual; it was no different from normal observation with the naked eye. He could only shake his head helplessly at everyone.
Afterwards, everyone used various possible methods to test it.
For example, burning with fire, steaming with water, striking with lightning, etc., but the results were useless.
Everyone fell into a silence.
Could it be that they were happy for nothing this time, and this map was useless to them?
"How about trying to drip blood on it?" Xiao Rongyu said softly.
The people around looked at her; indeed, there were some treasures in this world that required dripping blood to claim ownership before they could be used.
But what was in front of them was just an ancient diagram; no matter how one looked at it, it didn't seem like a treasure.
However, holding the mentality of just trying, several people dripped a drop of blood on it one after another.
Then they were surprised to see...
The ancient diagram still had no reaction!
"Forget it, let's leave it at that. Let's go back first and then talk..."
In the end, Lin Yang and the others, who had exhausted all methods to make the ancient diagram reveal more information, could only choose to give up, put the ancient diagram away first, and wait until they thought of new ways to try again in the future.
Following that, Lin Yang and his party returned to the location of the Yangshen Hall.
After returning, they immediately and without stopping carved out several Immortal Caves that could be used for long-term seclusion and Cultivate.
Because.
At this auction, their gains were too abundant!
Not only were there the cultivation treasures Lin Yang had bought, but also the many cultivation resources later sent by the Seven Immortals.
If they absorbed and refined all these resources, their strength would inevitably undergo a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change.
"After this seclusion ends, I will definitely let those monster Dragons know who is Big Brother's true number one little brother!"
Ji Kunchang, holding the eyeball of the Heavy Pupil King, couldn't wait to walk into a cultivation room first.
Because of the gap in strength, he had been feeling extremely stifled these days, especially in the recent battle where he was reduced to hiding behind a woman; it was simply too damaging to his self-esteem!
This time in seclusion, he must complete a great Nirvana!
When he emerges from seclusion, he will definitely let everyone know that his Heavy Pupils are not made of mud!
At the same time, the others were the same; they were all prepared for a long period of seclusion, wanting to convert all the gains from this auction and the massive resources sent by the Seven Immortals into their own strength!
In one of the Immortal Caves.
Lin Yang also sat cross-legged quietly, formed hand seals, and gradually entered a state of Cultivate.
"Hmm..."
While Lin Yang was slowly entering the state of Cultivate, he completely failed to notice that the heavenly god tree diagram placed in the Storage Ring had the shadow of the tree on it tremble imperceptibly.
Following that, the tree shadow actually began to silently absorb the blood energy that they had previously dripped onto it...
