The Free Trade Yard was very vast. Looking out, it was filled with lights like a busy city. Many powerful figures zipped in and out. Saint Kings were everywhere.

This was a convention that was rare even in Heaven World. The beings in the mortal world would never be able to imagine this scale.

Many strong beings set up shop on the ground.

Some placed treasures on their mats and cultivated on the side. They would only stop to talk when there were customers. Others were very proactive and hawked on the side.

The treasures that they sold weren’t only from the God-Naming Platform. Most were rare treasures, Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapons, pills, scrolls, and others that they’d brought over.

“An ice crystal crow just gotten from the Outer East Yard. Who has saint fruit that can improve cultivation? Come exchange for it.”

“Saint jade essence from the mines of the Outer West Yard. You can exchange for it with saint fruit, medicine, or earth grade pills.”

…

Most of the cultivators who were selling didn’t accept saint stones, because the treasures dug out of the God-Naming Platform couldn’t even be bought in the outside world. They wouldn’t consider selling it unless a cultivator was willing to pay double the amount.

Many good things were being sold. Some of the treasures tempted Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan too.

For example, there was Crimson Grass that could improve a cultivator’s physical strength. It was already 40,000 years old and really tempted Xiang Chunan.

The seller wanted to receive a Fourth Yao Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon. Zhang Ruochen happened to have it, so he took it out and gave it to Xiang Chunan.

Saintly medicine that could strengthen physical power was the most tempting to someone who cultivated the physical body.

Just as Xiang Chunan was about to reach out, a voice rang out behind them. “Wait.”

The eight-armed spider king that they’d met while picking the Heartmoon Saint Fruit glared at the seller and said, “Brothers, please don’t get tricked. Using a Fourth Yao Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon to exchange for Crimson Grass is such a scam!”

Zhang Ruochen knew it wasn’t a good deal, but Xiang Chunan wanted it.

Xiang Chunan was willing to risk his life for Zhang Ruochen, so he couldn’t be stingy about a Fourth Yao Ten-thousand-pattern Saint Weapon.

Zhang Ruochen put his hands together in greeting. “Spider King, we meet again! Thank you for the reminder, but my friend cultivates the physical body. The Crimson Grass is very useful for him. It’s okay to be at a disadvantage if I can buy it.”

The Spider King shook his head. “If the Crimson Grass was picked from the God-Naming Platform, then it can definitely help exercise your friend’s body and strengthen him.

“But the one that he’s selling is from outside. Even though it’s 40,000 years old, the medicinal power is greatly reduced. You also need to spend a lot of time to refine and absorb it all.

“There are all sorts of people in the Free Trade Yard. Many of them exaggerate their products and they’re not from the God-Naming Platform. Brother, you must be careful so you don’t get lied to!”

Earlier, only Xiang Chunan wanted to buy it. Zhang Ruochen had been thinking about where to set up, so he didn’t look carefully.

Hearing the eight-armed spider king’s words, Zhang Ruochen used his Heavenly Eye to study the Crimson Grass. Indeed, he found some places that weren’t right.

Xiang Chunan also used the Thousand-Mile Vision to check and fire immediately rose up in his eyes. He grabbed the first step Saint King seller from afar.

The seller tried to dodge, but he seemed to be anchored. He couldn’t move at all and his expression grew panicked.

Xiang Chunan’s hand grew to the size of a millstone. He grabbed the man and roared, “You dare to lie to me! You want to die!”

The seller felt his body get squeezed tighter and tighter. He couldn’t use Holy Qi either. Knowing that Xiang Chunan was using a top capturing spell, he quickly said, “This is the Free Trade Yard. No cultivator can fight here, or else you’ll get repressed by a godly disciple…ah… Are you crazy? You really want to kill me…”

The seller’s bones cracked and broke.

Xiang Chunan was impulsive, but he wasn’t bloodthirsty. The other had lied to him, but he didn’t deserve death.

Thud!

He let go and tossed the seller onto the ground. Clapping, he said coldly, “Don’t let me see you again.”

The seller landed on the ground. Having regained freedom, his eyes grew poisonous. “I’m from Heaven Track Field and you dare to humiliate me?”

The seller was a Saint King after all and his identity in the mortal world was special. He naturally felt embarrassed after getting beat up by Xiang Chunan. How could he not feel hatred?

“Humiliate you? I didn’t spare you because I’m afraid of the Truth Godly Palace’s rules. if you’re unsatisfied, then let’s have a fair fight and see if I’ll kill you or not.”

Xiang Chunan was very loud and his spit wet the seller’s face.

The seller could see that Xiang Chunan was a barbarian who wasn’t afraid of anything, so he really was a bit afraid. While retreating, he said, “If you have the guts, then stay here and see who’s unlucky later.”

“Ha, go. I’ll wait for you here.” Xiang Chunan crossed his arms and laughed. “This coward escaped without even taking his treasures. Hitting him really dirtied my hands.”

The spider king’s expression was uncomfortable. “Brothers, you best leave quickly. Since that man is from Heaven Track Field, you can’t offend him at all.”

Zhang Ruochen was curious. “Heaven Track Field isn’t in the top 100 worlds. Why can’t we offend him?”

“You two might not know,” the spider king said hurriedly. “Heaven Track Field has a strong supporter that none of the worlds can offend.”

“Could it be one of the ruling worlds?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

“You guessed correctly! The supporter of Heaven Track Field is one of the four ruling worlds—Heaven Field.”

Enemies keep meeting, Zhang Ruochen thought.

He would perform a big thing later, so why was he afraid of offending Heaven Track Field?

Zhang Ruochen laughed and said to Xiang Chunan, “I don’t think we need to find another place. This spot is nice. Let’s sell here!”

“Hehe, I think this place is nice too,” Xiang Chunan said, nodding.

The spider king felt that Zhang Ruochen’s duo was too young and reckless. He wanted to continue dissuading them, but then a commotion came from the entrance of the Free Trade Yard.

A group of cultivators entered.

The centermost figure was a white-robed man. He looked very extraordinary and shimmered with saint light. He was handsome, with a noble temperament. He seemed to have an extraordinary status.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes fell on his waist. There was a Time and Space Agate hanging there.

A beautiful young girl went over and said gently, “Greetings, Lord. My teacher sent me to send you an invitation. She wishes to meet you tonight.”

The young girl’s skin was as delicate as snow and her eyes shone with saintly light. Her curvy body had no flaws.

Many cultivators with advanced mindsets all stared at her and it was like they were attracted magnetically. They couldn’t look away.

The white-robed man didn’t accept the invitation. Instead, he asked, “Miss, who is your teacher?”

“Fairy Tianchu of Tianchu Civilization,” the girl said.

Boom!

It was like a storm had come and everyone was in an uproar.

Fairy Tianchu was one of the nine beauties in the Nine Angels Beauty Scroll. Not only was she beautiful, she was also the divine woman of an ancient civilization. Her cultivation was very strong and she had countless pursuers.

The famous Deity Shiqing wanted to pursue her, so he once gave her a heaven saint pill just to meet with her for half a day and discuss cultivation.

But Fairy Tianchu rejected him.

It was evident how difficult it was to meet with her.

But today, she actually sent her disciple to invite a man to meet. This was incredible! One could imagine how much of a storm it would cause if news spread.

Right now, many people were crazy with jealousy. They wished they could kill this man and take his place.

Fairy Tianchu’s disciple wasn’t a common person either. Her name was Li Miaohan and was once 19th on the Saints Merits Rank.

If Fairy Tianchu sent Li Miaohan to send the invitation, then the importance of the white-robed man went without saying.

The spider king grew envious. “As expected of the Space Godly Palace’s leader. Only someone like Gong Ziyan can receive Fairy Tianchu’s invitation.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t care about this, but hearing his words, he was moved. “Space Godly Palace’s leader?”

“Brother, you don’t even know Gong Ziyan?” the spider king said, surprised.

Zhang Ruochen chuckled. “I didn’t learn about this.”

The spider king had a respectful expression. “This person is a space manipulator. He’s extremely talented and the only son of a god from the Space Godly Palace. We can’t even imagine his future accomplishments. It’s even possible for him to become the next leader of the Space Godly Palace.”

“Space manipulator… Interesting…”

Zhang Ruochen touched his chin. He was finally interested in the white-robed man, Gong Ziyan.

“Fairy Tianchu is probably inviting Gong Ziyan about the ancient palace in the Wind Atrium of the Inner South Yard.”

“What ancient palace?” Zhang Ruochen asked curiously.

“This has already stirred up a storm in the entire God-Naming Platform. After news spread, all of the cultivators were surprised. Even many godly disciples went to check themselves. Do you remember the Kirin Absolute Complete Fruit that the Gold-armored Guard mentioned when we were picking the Heartmoon Saint Fruit?”

“Of course.”

“Back then, the Gold-armored Guard claimed that Crown Prince Dizu was picking the Kirin Absolute Complete Fruit. The location is in an ancient palace in the Wind Atrium of the Inner South Yard.

“Apparently, Crown Prince Dizu spent a lot of effort and even lost a strong Saint King without being able to pick the Kirin Absolute Complete Fruit. Instead, he went deeper and deeper into the ancient palace. More and more palaces appeared in that area. It’s like an endless palace cluster.

“Many top figures were attracted. There, they discovered that many rare fruits and medicines grew in the palace cluster. Some could even tempt gods.

“Just as they became ecstatic, a large group of ancient monsters appeared out of nowhere. Many cultivators died in there. Only the truly strong figures could escape.”

Zhang Ruochen and Xiang Chunan exchanged glances.

The palace that the spider king mentioned was too similar to the palace cluster in the forbidden zone. Could it be the same place?

The spider king continued, “News spread that there’s a divine spring in the palace cluster. Ha, now, it seems that no matter how dangerous it is, the top figures of each world will still try to venture in. I wonder how many more cultivators will die in this year’s God-Naming Platform Conference.”
