Suddenly, a beam of light shot down from the temple, transforming into a dignified old man: “In my hand, I have one drop of ‘True Phoenix Blood’, one ninth-rank low-grade defensive holy artifact, one eighth-rank high-grade holy artifact, two mid-grade, and four low-grade artifacts. Anyone interested may come find me at Tianhuang Yunhua Mountain. If your offer is reasonable, I am willing to send an avatar to conduct the transaction in person.”

“It’s Master Raymond!”

As soon as this light appeared, a wave of exclamations rose from the crowd.

“To dare reveal his own location, only someone as powerful as Master Raymond, who has reached the fifth level of the Saint Realm’s sixth stage, would do so. However, Master Raymond has an excellent reputation and rarely resorts to force or robbery. Those in Tianhuang who go to trade with him need not worry about being taken advantage of. If you’re lucky enough to be chosen by Master Raymond as a disciple, your future will be limitless.”

“The twenty-fifth level of the Chaos Avatar Technique... tsk tsk! Only Master Raymond would be willing to use his avatar like this...”

“A ninth-rank holy artifact! For a cultivator who has just entered the Longevity Realm, it can boost their attack by twenty-five to fifty levels, allowing them to easily defeat an ordinary third-level Longevity Realm expert. Even though the artifact’s boost decreases with higher cultivation, it’s still enough for a fifth-level Longevity Realm expert to contend with someone at the sixth level.”

“Heh, a man’s wealth is his own undoing. If a first-level Longevity Realm cultivator wields a ninth-rank holy artifact, isn’t that courting death? Even a fifth-level Longevity Realm expert might not be able to keep such an artifact. Once exposed, endless pursuit will follow. You should know, the lowest market price for a ninth-rank holy artifact is fifty Dao Resonance units, enough to raise a Chaos level by half.”

“Tianhuang truly is a land of powerful people and abundant resources. Even True Phoenix Blood and ninth-rank holy artifacts are up for sale... In Hanhuang, even those who have achieved unity of spirit and energy dare to call themselves kings, while those who have refined their true essence and stepped into the first level of the Saint Realm boast about unifying the continent—truly arrogant beyond measure.”

“I’ve heard of Hanhuang, isolated overseas, with treacherous seas that only Saints can cross... But there are countless continents in the world formed from fragments after the Divine Desolation shattered. How can they compare to the Tianhuang world, which is the main remnant of the Divine Desolation Continent?”

“Youngster, the one you call arrogant and boastful about unifying the Hanhuang Continent is the founder of my sect. You dare insult my ancestor—do you have the courage to give your name!?”

“Uh... this is a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding... I have something to do, I’ll take my leave first...”

Brian Carter stood to the side, quietly listening to the crowd’s conversation, his horizons broadened.

Tianhuang!?

Saint Realm!?

These were things he could never have encountered in Yunhuang City.

What surprised him even more was...

From the information revealed in the crowd’s conversation, each of them was at least at the Longevity Realm. It seemed that in the Chaos Temple, sixth-level Longevity Realm cultivators were the norm...

It looked like Edward Clark had truly left him an extraordinary treasure.

However, compared to inheriting the Chaos levels in the “Chaos Temple,” the most important thing was still the Divine Jade of Creation in his mind.

A ninth-rank low-grade holy artifact that could allow a first-level Longevity Realm Awakening cultivator to immediately defeat a third-level Longevity Realm Condensed Gang cultivator was only worth fifty Dao Resonance units, which was equivalent to the Divine Jade of Creation’s output of fifty days of unnamed primordial energy?

For Master Raymond, who was clearly above the sixth level of the Longevity Realm and at the fifth level of the Saint Realm, to take out such an item, its value was self-evident. Realizing this, Brian Carter couldn’t help but become more solemn.

The secret of the Divine Jade of Creation must never be revealed to anyone.

In fact, with the Divine Jade of Creation, his Chaos level would also rise extremely quickly. To avoid arousing suspicion, he should conceal his identity as the Child of Chaos as much as possible.

“Only by becoming strong enough to protect the Divine Jade of Creation can I fully utilize its wonders... Also, Shattering the Void—what kind of realm is that? I must quickly reach the Shattering the Void stage, find the True God ‘Jun’’s cave, and return to Earth. If it really takes a thousand years like Edward Clark to reach Shattering the Void, the world of Earth will have changed beyond recognition...”

Unfortunately, the Dao Resonance within the Divine Jade of Creation cannot be extracted for trade, otherwise... with a ninth-rank holy artifact at his side, he could move unhindered even among sixth-level Longevity Realm experts.

“The Divine Jade of Creation can’t be used for trading, but... treasures and holy artifacts refined through advancement techniques can be traded...”

Brian Carter narrowed his eyes, focusing his attention on the advancement technique he had previously ignored.

In ninety days, when his Chaos level reached the eleventh rank, he would be able to unlock the advancement technique.

“Hm!?”

Just as Brian Carter was multitasking, gathering information about the Chaos Temple, he inadvertently caught sight of a figure in the outside world.

Someone was following him!

Chapter 11: The Team

Someone was following him.

Brian Carter remained calm, but instantly activated his Appraisal Technique. Immediately, the basic information of the stalker appeared in his mind.

“Andrew Scott... All four stats except for spirit are below the tenth rank. Cultivation realm... Blood Exchange Realm!”

The Blood Exchange Realm is that of a grandmaster. In the mortal world, it’s easy to establish a sect and become a founder. Even princes and nobles seek to win over Blood Exchange grandmasters. If a Blood Exchange grandmaster is willing to serve under a prince or noble, he will immediately be treated as an honored guest.
