231: Chapter 231 Wind Princess

A few months later

The Eternal Great World.

Above a continuous mountain range, a nine-story bronze tower emerged.

In front of the bronze tower's gate, Mortal World and Qing Yi were tidying Li Qing's clothes, their eyes filled with reluctance.

“Do you really have to go?”

Qing Yi leaned gently into Li Qing's arms.

“Yes.”

[The path of Cultivate is like rowing against the current; to not advance is to retreat.]

[I don't want to be powerless when you encounter danger in the future.]

[Until I am invincible.]

“Go then.”

“Husband.”

Qing Yi suddenly gave a gentle push with her jade-like hand, and Li Qing was pushed out of the bronze tower.

“Come back and see me when you have time.”

“This concubine will wait for you.”

Qing Yi turned and walked into the tower, a single teardrop sliding down her cheek.

“Husband, don't forget Mortal World.”

Mortal World playfully stuck her tongue out at Li Qing before chasing after Qing Yi.

The bronze tower slowly faded into the Void Realm.

Li Qing sighed softly, then turned to look at the world before him.

The Eternal Great World, also known as the Eternal Kingdom.

Just as the name implies.

The energy density here is ten thousand times that of the Hongmeng World.

The sky was filled with a faint Chaos Qi.

Those born in this world are born with longevity.

Doesn't that sound great?

But not many people can truly achieve longevity; this is a world more cruel than any other great world.

Longevity only applies within this realm.

If one's strength is insufficient, they will turn into withered bones immediately upon leaving the world.

More importantly, the resources in this world are severely solidified; the strong stay strong, and the weak stay weak.

It's hard for the weak to rise; they all become vassals or slaves to the strong.

[The place Qing Yi sent me to should be the End of the Ancient Mountains I mentioned.]

[This is an area near the edge of the Eternal Great World.]

[A World Lord's strength here is just enough to squeeze into the first tier, making them a local powerhouse.]

[Perfect, Gu Beichen's rise begins here.]

[First, I'll go to the Gushan Auction House to see the first female protagonist of this realm.]

Li Qing moved his body and flew towards a giant city near Gushan.

In the Eternal Great World, one can only fly after reaching the World Lord level; it is the most obvious sign of a powerhouse.

This is why Li Qing had to Breakthrough to the Creation Divine Realm, which is the World Lord realm.

No matter what world it is, not being able to fly is just too much trouble.

*Whoosh.*

Near the gates of Gushan City.

Li Qing slowly descended.

The elite soldiers of Gushan City on duty nearby were all startled and looked at Li Qing with respectful gazes.

A World Lord.

They have some status in the Eternal Great World, especially in these peripheral areas, where they can dominate a region.

They can enter and leave any city at will, and no one dares to question them or collect fees.

[Ding, the System has detected that the Host has successfully arrived at the Eternal Kingdom.]

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for becoming a World Lord.]

[Ding, the Eternal Kingdom gift pack has been issued. Please check it, Host.]

“System, you're too slow with this gift pack.”

“I've been here for quite a while.”

“If it's too cheap, I can do without it.”

“I can still get by if I tighten my belt.”

System: “...”

[Ding, Host, please show some restraint with your words.]

[Ding, Host, the System saw the life-and-death parting of you and your wives and couldn't bear to interrupt.]

[Ding, I wish the Host a swift demise in this realm.]

Li Qing: “...”

“Holy crap, System, can you show some restraint with your words?”

“Open the gift pack.”

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining ten million Low Grade Eternal Divine Crystals.]

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining 10 Top Grade Eternal Divine Crystals.]

[Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Innate treasure: Qingping Sword.]

“Always giving a bunch of money.”

“It's not very useful.”

[Ding, the Host can be incompetent, but cannot be poor.]

[Ding, the Host can die in many ways, but cannot die poor.]

Li Qing: “...”

“Damn.”

“Do you really need to hold such a grudge?”

“Can you show some restraint?”

“Do I really have to roast you...”

[Ding, System under maintenance...]

Li Qing: “...”

“Fine, fine, fine.”

“As expected, shamelessness is invincible.”

Li Qing rolled his eyes and walked towards Gushan City with his hands behind his back.

The soldiers at the city gate didn't dare to stop him, let alone inspect him; otherwise, if they were killed, no one would seek justice for them.

Not long after.

Li Qing appeared in a luxurious private room at the Gushan Auction House.

In any world, money is king.

Moreover, Li Qing is very rich now.

[The upheaval at the Gushan Auction House happens today.]

[Very well, let's watch the show first.]

This voice.

There's no one here.

Below the private room was a massive auction hall, and behind it was the backstage of the Gushan Auction House.

A seductive woman in red, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

She was incredibly beautiful, with an exquisite and full figure, especially her long legs—straight and rounded—and her skirt was slit very high, exuding endless temptation.

However, there was a star-shaped mark on her forehead.

This was the slave mark of the Eternal Kingdom.

She was actually an enslaved person.

“Feng Ji.”

“If today's auction still doesn't meet expectations,”

“your reputation won't be able to save you anymore.”

At that moment, the backstage door was pushed open, and a fat, middle-aged man in gold clothes walked in, looking at Feng Ji with greed in his eyes.

“Yes, Lord Tower Master.”

Feng Ji said calmly.

She naturally knew the Tower Master coveted her beauty.

However, because of her beauty and her crisp voice, she made the big shots feel comfortable during the auctions.

For the sake of the Gushan Auction House's profits, the Tower Master hadn't dared to make a move.

But if one day the big shots no longer enjoyed the auctions she hosted, she would likely be doomed.

To preserve her purity, Feng Ji would have no choice but to end her own life.

I don't know how much longer I can protect myself.

The Feng family was originally the owner of this Gushan Auction House, but it was snatched away by a major power recently, and the main descendants of her Feng family were all reduced to slaves.

*Clang.*

A loud gong sounded, and the auction officially began.

Feng Ji gave a slight bow to the fat man and headed towards the front stage.

The fat man's greedy gaze followed Feng Ji until she was out of sight.

*Whoosh.*

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the backstage, blowing up the fat Tower Master's Primordial Spirit with a single palm strike, then stuffing the corpse into a leather pouch at his waist.

Then the figure vanished into the nearby shadows.

“Fellow Daoists, welcome to the Gushan Auction House.”

“Please bring out today's first item.”

A voice like heavenly music slowly echoed through the auction hall.

The voice was both pleasant and soft, making it very comfortable to listen to.

Li Qing, who was resting with his eyes closed, snapped them open instantly.

The auction had already begun.

The hall below was already full of people, and the bidding had started.

[Is this Feng Ji, the first female protagonist of the Eternal Kingdom?]

[She truly is as beautiful as a goddess.]

[The men of the Feng family were all sent to the Gushan mines to be slaves forever.]

[She was only kept because of her outstanding beauty and her role as the auction house manager.]

[Otherwise, she would have been sent to a major power as a slave or maid.]

[With her beauty, one can imagine how tragic her fate would be.]

[But even if she meets Gu Beichen, her end won't be much better; she'll die in the end.]

[How tragic.]

“Who... who is speaking?”

“I... will die?”

Feng Ji was stunned.

The voice came from the private room opposite her.

Just then, at the open balcony of the opposite private room, a handsome young man appeared, looking towards Feng Ji.

[She really is beautiful.]

[I'll help her out when the time comes.]

[Otherwise, not only will Gu Beichen take your primal yin, but you'll also die because of him.]

It's him.

Inner thoughts?

“Take... primal yin.”

Feng Ji's delicate body trembled.
