The Great Ruler

Chapter 1317 - Market

A primordial aura spread in this region, and the silence that seemed eternal was suddenly disrupted at this moment. Several silhouettes streaked across the horizon, flying towards the depths at an astonishing speed.

As they traveled, the outline of a massive city could be seen from afar, like an enormous beast creeping on the ground.

“We’re reaching it!” Wen Qingxuan rejoiced when she saw the outline of the city.

After two days of journeying, they’d finally arrived at their destination.

Mu Chen and the rest also couldn’t help feeling relieved, since it wasn’t easy for them to travel in the Primordial Sacred Abyss, and they might’ve been hit by terrifying disasters at any time. In the two days that they’ve traveled, they’ve witnessed at least five types of disasters and nearly suffered heavy casualties.

But fortunately, they’ve finally arrived at their destination.

When Mu Chen gradually approached this region, he sensed another team streaking across the horizon from another direction that was headed towards the city as well. From the city, Mu Chen could also feel many powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

“Indeed, there are many teams gathered here.” Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. According to his estimation, the majority of the teams gathered in the Primordial Sacred Abyss would come to the gathering point. Thus, they could see what sort of mix it was.

“Be careful.” As they got closer to the city, Mu Chen reminded everyone by transmitting his voice.

Luo Li and the rest nodded their heads. Any team that could make it to the Primordial Sacred Abyss wasn’t a pushover, and if a battle broke out, it would be troublesome.

Everyone streaked across the horizon before descending to the gate of the city. They could feel a sort of powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation when they approach. Those fluctuations were incredibly chaotic, and if they recklessly charged in, there might be a collision of Spiritual Energy.

“This is a damaged Spiritual Array. The level of it is extremely high as well, and I’m afraid that it isn’t any weaker than the one in the Sacred Abyss City.” Ling Xi sensed the chaotic fluctuation in the sky and softly exclaimed.

Mu Chen gently nodded his head. Although this Spiritual Array was damaged, he still felt threatened by it. He wasn’t surprised, since this was one of the battlefields in ancient times between the Great Thousand World and the Fiend Clans, so it was within his expectations to see a Spiritual Array of such level.

“Let’s go.” As the teams descended by the gate, Mu Chen also waved his hand and they entered.

When they stepped into the city, damaged buildings filled their eyes. Despite that, they could still feel how glorious it once was.

The city was filled with many tall buildings. It was rumored that in ancient times, supreme powerhouses liked to create a cultivation pagoda for them. Thus, every single pagoda represented a supreme powerhouse.

Many teams were gathered in this city, filling it with popularity along with noises in the surroundings.

“There’s a market in this city where many teams would sell some unknown stuff. They can be treasures, but at the same time, rubbish. No matter what, they’re worth taking a look at.” Wen Qingxuan had naturally gathered information regarding this gathering point, so she pointed towards the depths of the city and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Mu Chen’s heart trembled. The Primordial Sacred Abyss was too vast, with too many supreme powerhouses dying here. Thus, there would also be many treasures, and some fortunate ones might have encountered them. At the same time, they might be lacking the eyesight to determine the item, so if they could have any good encounters in the market, it would be a blessing from the heavens.

“Leave the information to us. Our Wen Clan has an information source that we can try. As for you guys, you can first head to the Market to wait for us.” Wen Qingxuan said.

“Alright.” Mu Chen nodded his head, since it didn’t seem proper for them to follow, either.

“We’ll meet later.” Wen Qingxuan waved her hand before heading towards another direction with Wen Ziyu and the rest. Looking at her departing silhouette, Mu Chen turned around and led Luo Li, Ling Xi and Long Xiang towards the market.

Passing through the streets, there was a considerable commotion up ahead. A massive plaza was seen with huge popularity spotted here. This might not mean much outside, but in the Primordial Sacred Abyss, there’s only this place with the highest popularity.

Evidently, this must be the market that Wen Qingxuan had spoken about.

Mu Chen and his group exchanged a look with interest flashing in their eyes before walking into the plaza. The plaza was covered with large stones and silhouettes seated on those stones, displaying items before them.

All those items emanated an ancient aura, looking mottled from the traces of age.

Mu Chen stopped before a huge stone. It was glittering. Those were Saint Artifacts, emitting faint Spiritual Energy fluctuations while being displayed.

Mu Chen picked up a black sword that was covered in cracks. The body of the sword was dark, occasionally emanating a fine Spiritual Energy that looked to be extraordinary.

“Hehe, this friend has taken an eye for this sword? This sword was forged with Nine-Nether Coldsteel and Meteorite Stone. It’s unbreakable, and when it was at its peak, it’s a treasure that had exceeded a High Rank Saint Artifact. There might even be a possibility that it’s a Peerless Saint Artifact left by a Heavenly Sovereign...” Standing behind the stall, a grey-robed man smiled with his eyes narrowed.

In the Great Thousand World, there was another rank above High Rank Saint Artifacts, the Peerless Saint Artifacts.

But Peerless Saint Artifacts were too rare and powerful, even some Heavenly Sovereigns didn’t have them. According to his estimation, the Heavenly Emperor Sword should be a Peerless Saint Artifact. In its peak, it should be amongst the pinnacle of the Peerless Saint Artifacts.

Mu Chen smiled while holding onto the black longsword and casually asked, “What’s the price on this?”

“Super discount, 50,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.” The grey-robed man said.

Mu Chen smiled and tossed the black longsword away before turning around and left with the rest. He did not even bother speaking with the seller. That black longsword might’ve been an ancient artifact, but no matter how powerful it once was, it was already damaged right now. It was so much so that its garbage that had been corroded by time.

When the grey-robed man saw how Mu Chen left without any hesitation, he cursed before returning back.

As Mu Chen’s group passed through the popular market, they had taken a view at all sorts of treasures, and most of it was crap.

But that didn’t mean that all of it was garbage. At least on a stall, Mu Chen had sensed two extraordinary things. According to his estimation, those two should be the belongings of a Heavenly Sovereign. It was so much so that the previous owner of it wasn’t weak amongst the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

They were a ruler and rod, which should be Peerless Saint Artifacts before they were damaged.

Although those two items weren’t simple, Mu Chen did not have the intention to buy them. That’s because there were too many people after them, and those fellows were filthy rich. In just a few minutes, the price had already been raised to billions, which Mu Chen still didn’t have the ability to buy a damaged Peerless Saint Artifact, since it would cost huge resources to restore them.

Thus, the group did not have a harvest, since they did not see anything that they were satisfied with, which made them feel regretful.

Sweeping his gaze, Mu Chen realised that they’re about to finish going through the market. Just when he intended to join up with Wen Qingxuan’s group, he suddenly paused when he walked past a huge stone.

His gaze flickered before seamlessly coming to a stop. His gaze was on a huge stone with a small stall displaying several items that emanated an ancient aura.

Mu Chen’s gaze swept through them before stopping on a disk piece covered in mud. Hesitating, he took it and wiped the mud on it before a smear of brilliance emanated from it.

This was a broken bronze disk that had been polished to glossiness. He could see ancient runes on it that reflected the ancient origin of this item.

Mu Chen stared at the bronze disk, and although his gaze was calm, his heart was throbbing. He could sense a faint tremor from the pagoda in his body when he passed by here.

Especially when he held this disk in his hand, the pagoda in his body violently trembled, and if it wasn’t for him suppressing it, he might have lost control of his pagoda.

Clearly, this item must be linked to the Ancient Buddha Clan.

Mu Chen’s gaze flickered as he asked the skinny middle-aged man at the stall, “What’s the price for this?”

The middle-aged man slowly cast a glance at Mu Chen before saying, “80,000,000.”

Mu Chen’s brows twitched upon hearing him. “Isn’t it a little too expensive?”

The middle-aged man smiled. “Friend, although I have no idea what this item is, I have tried attacking it with all my might, but I couldn’t damage it. That alone means that this item isn’t simple, and it’s also because I have no idea of its usage. Otherwise, do you think that I would take it out for selling?”

Indeed, anyone that could make it into the Primordial Sacred Abyss wasn’t a pushover, and this man also seemed to have some eyesight.

Thus, Mu Chen did not bother speaking anymore and waved his hand. A jade bottle flew towards the middle-aged man while he held onto the bronze disk. “I’m buying this.”

However, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, passing through space and made a grab towards the disk in Mu Chen’s hand as an indifferent voice resounded, “I want this.”
