Ye Yu was also a bit stunned; he hadn't expected such a turn of events.
Just then, a faint voice, tinged with a hint of surprise, drifted over.
"I didn't expect this place to have a hidden world of its own; it looks like a Legacy left behind by an ancestor of extraordinary origins."
Hearing this voice, Ye Yu's expression changed drastically, revealing disbelief.
Not far away, two figures approached.
It was none other than Jun Xiaoyao and Sang Yu.
"Those source artifacts... they really are related to the Earth Master Lineage!"
Sang Yu's tone was also filled with surprise.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded faintly, then his gaze suddenly shifted toward Ye Yu, a perfectly timed look of surprise appearing on his face.
"Young Master Ye, I didn't expect to see you here."
"Jun... Xiaoyao..."
Ye Yu's tone was sluggish and awkward.
He tried his best to make his expression appear natural and calm.
If he let Jun Xiaoyao realize that the bronze compass was related to this place and the legendary Earth Gate Secret Treasury...
...then he would be in danger.
"I didn't expect to see you here either."
Ye Yu slowly took a deep breath, keeping his expression calm.
Although he knew through the Spirit of the Gate of Creation that Jun Xiaoyao was an extremely terrifying character...
...and felt a sense of wariness and distrust toward him.
But at least on the surface for now, his conflict with Jun Xiaoyao was limited to a minor friction at the auction.
Strictly speaking, it didn't even count as a conflict.
Plus, there was the connection through Su Jinli.
Therefore, Ye Yu felt that as long as he didn't act rashly and let Jun Xiaoyao discover any flaws...
...Jun Xiaoyao shouldn't do anything to him.
It must be said that Ye Yu's calm and composed Heart-Nature played a role at this moment.
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly and said nothing.
As someone familiar with the tropes, he naturally understood.
That Ye Yu could find this place was likely related to that bronze compass and his Golden Finger.
But Jun Xiaoyao was not in a hurry to expose him now.
He felt that with Ye Yu's identity as a transmigrator...
...this bit of Opportunity was merely an appetizer.
"Young Master, these source artifacts are all very precious; they are secret treasures of the Earth Master Lineage."
"It seems this place really is the Legacy of an ancestor of the Earth Master Lineage."
Looking at the treasures scattered everywhere, especially some precious source artifacts, Sang Yu's beautiful eyes couldn't help but sparkle.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly and said, "Take whatever catches your eye."
"Young Master, can I really?" Sang Yu looked delighted.
Some of these source artifacts would even make her Master, the head of the Lotus Temple, covet them.
"That is only natural. Treasures belong to those who are fated to have them," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Sang Yu happily began collecting the treasures.
On the side, the corners of Ye Yu's mouth twitched slightly.
He was still here.
Couldn't they stop looting so blatantly?
Even with Ye Yu's calm Heart-Nature, he really wanted to curse out loud at this moment.
But he didn't say anything.
Because he knew that in this vast world, might makes right.
He was definitely no match for Jun Xiaoyao right now.
Talking about who came first was simply a joke.
Ye Yu called out to the Spirit of the Gate of Creation in his heart.
But there was not a single response.
Jun Xiaoyao walked to the white jade platform, looked at the surrounding Formation, and revealed a hint of doubt.
"This Formation seems to be the eye of some Seal, which matches the 'Nine Dragons Suppressing the Seal' layout of this place."
"However, it seems like there should have been something on this platform, right?"
"Young Master Ye, when you arrived, did you not see anything on it?"
Jun Xiaoyao's gaze shifted and landed on Ye Yu.
In an instant!
Ye Yu felt a chill, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
It was as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat!
It was also as if he were a person facing the vast Void Gazer Universe, bottomless and endless!
"This..."
Ye Yu was terrified.
This was just a single look from Jun Xiaoyao!
Jun Xiaoyao hadn't even shown any coldness or killing intent.
Just a simple gaze made him feel this sense of suffocation!
What kind of monster was he exactly?
Now, Ye Yu no longer had any small tricks in his heart.
Just a moment ago, he was still thinking about whether he could put up a fight if he activated the power of the Spirit of the Gate of Creation.
Now, he didn't even dare to think about it.
"When I arrived here, the platform was already empty."
"Just as I wanted to approach, this Formation appeared; I also don't understand the situation here."
Ye Yu could only say this.
He absolutely could not let Jun Xiaoyao know about the remains of the Earth Gate ancestor!
"Oh?"
Jun Xiaoyao looked deeply at Ye Yu.
Cold sweat broke out on Ye Yu's back.
A moment later, Jun Xiaoyao withdrew his gaze and said calmly.
"Alright then, but this platform is a rare treasure."
"It is actually carved from an entire piece of Soul-Nurturing Jade; it is quite luxurious. As expected of the Earth Master Lineage, they are not lacking in treasures."
As Jun Xiaoyao spoke, he casually waved his sleeve and put away the Soul-Nurturing platform.
Even in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, this Soul-Nurturing platform was extremely precious.
After all, the Realm Rank of the Primordial Spirit is very difficult to improve.
Furthermore, Jun Xiaoyao was already at the Void Tribulation Level Primordial Spirit, which was considered an extremely high Primordial Spirit Rank.
Even advancing by one small Realm was very difficult and required a massive amount of resources and treasures related to the Soul and Primordial Spirit.
And now, he had the Constellation Visualization Method obtained from checking in.
Plus this Soul-Nurturing platform.
The speed of his Primordial Spirit Cultivation would be even faster.
Watching Jun Xiaoyao directly take the Soul-Nurturing platform, Ye Yu felt his heart bleeding.
That treasure should have been in his pocket.
The duck that was already in his mouth had flown away.
He had previously thought that Jun Xiaoyao had suffered a huge loss by letting him have the bronze compass.
Now, who was the one actually suffering a loss?
And if it were just this, it would be fine.
Jun Xiaoyao waved his sleeve again, and all the various resources and treasures here were swept away by him.
Although Jun Xiaoyao might not have use for these things.
But even mosquito meat is still meat; he could reward it to others in the future.
Sang Yu obtained some precious source artifacts, as well as some ancient books and scrolls related to the Earth Master Lineage.
For her, this was also a great harvest.
Looking at this Immortal Cave that was cleaner than his own face, Ye Yu didn't know what expression to make.
Not even a single hair was left for him!
So after all his planning, he ended up with nothing but a skeleton?
But Ye Yu couldn't reveal any abnormality, nor did he even have the right to express his dissatisfaction.
How could he describe his frustration!
Just then.
Boom!
The entire region trembled violently.
The Formation on the ground shattered directly!
Sang Yu said, "Young Master, the Formation here is the location of the Dragon Head of the 'Nine Dragons Suppressing the Seal' layout."
"With this Formation broken, I fear some unexpected situation will occur."
Jun Xiaoyao said, "Let's leave first."
He turned around and left this place with Sang Yu.
Looking at this empty Immortal Cave, Ye Yu felt like vomiting blood.
But for now, he could only follow closely behind.
At this moment, deep in this ancient land, the ground was shattered, and huge cracks appeared, like abysses.
From within them, an incomparably dense undying substance poured out like a volcanic eruption.
It was as if a host of demons from the Nine Serenities were buried below.
At this moment, above the many abyss-like cracks.
10th Prince Yu Huatian's figure appeared, watching the surging and erupting undying substance below.
Within it, there seemed to be many strange and powerful auras.
"Not bad, it contains the power I need."
10th Prince Yu Huatian smiled, wisps of black light flashing in his eyes, captivating the Soul.
