66: Agreement

Even the president, Su Yuanbang, was only at the mere third level of the Soul Transformation Realm; he had neither the ability nor the strength to raise such an outstanding daughter.

Therefore, you set your sights on Su Qingya; your intuition told you that this woman was not simple.

The auction proceeded as usual.

Many Cultivation Techniques, Secret Manuals, and essential Divine Ability texts were auctioned off one after another.

However, none of these piqued your interest.

Because you now possessed the Immortal Refining Demon Scripture, as long as a great war occurred in the Cultivation World, your cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds, so why bother with bitter cultivation?

It must be said that Demonic Techniques are truly fascinating.

You felt that you were becoming somewhat corrupted by it.

The auction proceeded quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the three grand finale auction items.

And the first to appear was none other than the Great Wilderness Palm that you had put up for auction.

As soon as this Divine Ability appeared, it caused a sensation in the auction house.

Although there were many experts in the Central Continent Cultivation World, the control over Divine Abilities remained extremely strict.

For many from small factions or Loose Cultivators, they often had to Cultivate to the Soul Transformation Realm before they could acquire their first Divine Ability.

Not to mention that the Great Wilderness Palm was a seventh-tier Divine Ability.

Even among all Divine Abilities, it could be considered a relatively powerful one in terms of grade.

In the end, the Great Wilderness Palm was purchased for the price of 45 million Spirit Stones.

This price was undeniably high.

Even if all the Spirit Stones of the entire Tianxuan Sect were added together, they would not compare to this one Divine Ability.

You could not help but marvel at the richness of the Central Continent Cultivation World.

The two subsequent grand finale auction items were a seventh-tier Formation Plate, the Stubborn Stone Mountain-Coiling Formation, and a seventh-tier Magic Treasure, the Big Dipper Sword.

Although they piqued your interest, the prices of these two items far exceeded that of the Great Wilderness Palm.

You did not have enough Spirit Stones to secure them.

However, before leaving, you silently noted down the bidders who had purchased these two items.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay."

You turned around and found Su Yuanbang appearing behind you with a smile.

"What is the matter?"

"It is like this, Fellow Daoist. The big boss behind my Su Family Commerce, Mr. Hun, wishes to see you."

You frowned slightly, but after sensing that your Crisis Awareness did not sound any warnings, you agreed to Su Yuanbang's request.

A moment later, you followed Su Yuanbang to the top floor of the Su Family Commerce auction house.

A middle-aged man in black robes with a pale, beardless face was brewing tea, waiting for you.

He introduced himself as Hun Qianqiu, a Cultivator from the Heavenly Soul Hall.

His purpose for meeting you was simple: he had sensed a familiar aura on you.

You immediately realized that he was referring to Dan Juezi.

"It seems this Su Family Commerce auction house is actually an enterprise of the Heavenly Soul Hall. I fear that the moment I stepped into the Su Family Commerce auction house, Dan Juezi was already targeted by them."

You muttered inwardly, but after thinking for a long time, you did not intend to hand over Dan Juezi immediately.

After all, Dan Juezi was knowledgeable and could tell you many things about this world.

Moreover, although this Hun Qianqiu had the strength of the first level of the Void Tempering Realm, such a Realm was already beneath your notice given your multiple stacked buffs.

"So, you called me here because of Dan Juezi?"

"Yes and no."

Hun Qianqiu stood up, walked to the window, and continued, "Although Dan Juezi was once a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator, he was neither good at fighting nor did he have any background. Such a person has long been beneath the notice of my Heavenly Soul Hall."

"And what happened back then was purely of his own doing; he cannot blame my Heavenly Soul Hall."

"You... it was clearly you back then..."

Dan Juezi wanted to roar in anger, but now only possessing Golden Core strength, he was swatted back into your body by a light wave of Hun Qianqiu's hand.

Subsequently, through Hun Qianqiu's words, you finally understood what had happened back then.

It turned out that Dan Juezi was once known as the number one Loose Cultivator of the Eastern Continent.

It was just that most of his cultivation had been forcefully elevated by consuming his own Medicinal Pills.

This kind of cultivation had the Realm but lacked the substance.

Even though he tried his best to reduce the Impurities in his Medicinal Pills every time he practiced Alchemy, he inevitably ended up with hollow cultivation.

And such a person could never pass the Lightning Tribulation of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

But Dan Juezi did not want to die, so what could he do?

Thus, he came to the Soul-Falling Mountain.

This was the place where the experts of the Heavenly Soul Hall passed away.

Throughout history, countless experts of the Heavenly Soul Hall had been buried here.

And Dan Juezi, using some unknown method, successfully passed the Lightning Tribulation here.

But the consequence was that the corpses of all the Old Ancestors of the Heavenly Soul Hall were blasted to pieces.

With such a major incident occurring at their ancestral graves, the Heavenly Soul Hall was naturally furious.

They dispatched several Tribulation Transcendence cultivators to directly capture Dan Juezi and bring him back to the Soul-Falling Mountain to repent before their Old Ancestors.

Afterward, the Heavenly Soul Hall had intended to execute Dan Juezi directly, sending him to the underworld to atone for his sins before their Old Ancestors.

But just then, the Chu Family Old Ancestor paid a huge price and reached a deal with the Heavenly Soul Hall's Old Ancestor, which was the only reason the Heavenly Soul Hall spared Dan Juezi.

However, while the death penalty could be avoided, living punishment was unavoidable.

The Heavenly Soul Hall ultimately destroyed Dan Juezi's Physical Body and most of his Soul power, leaving him to linger on in this world in this manner.

"The Chu Family Old Ancestor?!"

You could not help but think of Chu Han; this person had lived in the Ji Family since childhood. Did he have a connection to the Chu Family among the four great families?

Furthermore, why did the Chu Family, originally one of the four great families, cease to exist directly during the final war over two hundred years later?

In the dark, you felt that an invisible hand was manipulating everything.

Seeming to sense your confusion, Hun Qianqiu continued, "Indeed, the Chu Family. I presume you are the Qilin child mentioned by that Chu Family Old Ancestor. Now, the path of survival for the Chu Family has long been severed; only you can reshape the glory of the Chu Family."

"However, none of this has anything to do with our Heavenly Soul Hall."

"What you need to do now is to assist my Heavenly Soul Hall in retrieving an item from the Secret Realm of the Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Laws. Only then can it be considered a true completion of the agreement, and only then will my Heavenly Soul Hall truly let Dan Juezi go."

Upon hearing this, you were speechless for a long time.

You could now be certain that Hun Qianqiu was, in all likelihood, talking about Chu Han.

However, Chu Han was a Transmigration user; his true Soul had long been replaced by another person.

He did not follow the path calculated by the Chu Family Old Ancestor to head to the Central Continent Cultivation World.

Instead, he found another Opportunity and entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, finding something for Dan Juezi to restore his cultivation.
