The Emperor Pill, the final and most valuable treasure of the auction, had captured the attention of everyone.
All were curious about who would ultimately obtain it.
Or perhaps they were even more curious about what kind of figure, what conditions or priceless treasures offered to the Dan Emperor Clan, could ultimately exchange for this single Emperor Pill.
However, no one knew its final destination, for according to the news received, the transaction for the Emperor Pill had actually been quietly completed long ago, when the many great figures had successively entered the treasure hall. All of this was done without a sound.
Because the receiving party did not wish to be known to the world, nor did they wish to become the target of public scrutiny. After all, this semi-finished Emperor Pill was far too precious, coveted by who knows how many people. Even Alchemy Grandmasters would be extremely envious, which speaks volumes.
Once it became known, endless trouble would surely follow.
Naturally, where there are people, there is the jianghu. There were also many rumors about the Emperor Pill's final owner.
Some believed it was the Soul-Restraining Hall, as the Soul-Restraining Hall could be considered an Overlord-level great power in the universe, immensely wealthy and powerful.
Some pointed to a certain Alchemy Grandmaster, as such grandmaster-level great figures also possessed immeasurable wealth and countless supreme treasures of the Great Dao.
Others pointed to the Chaos young generation's supreme, the Battle Saint King, because he was too extraordinary. Not only was he an invincible figure among the younger generation, but he also possessed a Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Immortal's Broken Arm, and the Chaos Immortal Egg—such priceless treasures. Perhaps he still had other priceless treasures on him that could be exchanged.
And didn't the Battle Saint King leave the auction midway? Some believed it was precisely because the Battle Saint King had obtained it and, unwilling to become the target of public scrutiny, had left early.
In Dan Tian City, undercurrents surged. There were too many unclear claims, and many could not guess the true recipient.
At the very least, Ye Chen knew deeply that he had not obtained this Emperor Pill. He was also puzzled about who the ultimate recipient of the Emperor Pill truly was.
However, he had a special premonition: the Emperor Pill's destination would eventually be exposed and would trigger a series of major troubles.
Night was deep, moonlight like water.
Ye Chen stood within the Treasure Pavilion, constantly gazing towards the center of Dan Tian City.
That was the gathering place of the Dan Emperor Clan's clansmen. Rumor had it the Imperial Maiden was there, about to bathe in the divine pool. However, Will had mentioned going there to investigate some secrets, but he had not returned yet, which caused Ye Chen some concern.
Although Will was also a young generation's supreme, even a Great Power-level young generation's supreme, this was, after all, the Dan Emperor Clan's territory, an Imperial City, facing the Imperial Maiden—the most powerful young generation's supreme. Everything had to be considered differently; it could not be measured by common sense.
If Will were to face the Imperial Maiden, it would likely be troublesome.
But now, as the final days of the Dan Ceremony approached, the security within the Imperial City had become many times stricter. During this period, even an unparalleled existence at the level of an Ancient Sovereign had appeared, personally guarding the Imperial City. Even Ye Chen dared not claim he could certainly sneak into the central imperial clan settlement of Dan Tian City. For now, the only plan was to wait.
Of course, if Will encountered any trouble, Ye Chen would naturally not stand idly by; he would certainly try every means to rescue him.
Several days passed in a row, yet there was still no news from Will. Even Ye Chen could not maintain a heart as still as water and began to frown slightly.
He had the intention to inquire about some news within the city, but he never received an accurate reply.
Moreover, during these past few days, people had continuously come knocking on his door. Among them were sect progenitor-level Great Powers who dominated star domains, alchemy masters renowned throughout the starry sky, ancestors of supreme great sects, and also world-shaking old antiques who had lived in seclusion for many years. Among them were even terrifying existences who had one foot stepped into the Sovereign's secret realm.
All who came knocking were truly great figures, possessing extremely high prestige within this ancient universe.
The Treasure Pavilion where Ye Chen resided was almost overwhelmed. All of this was naturally because of the Chaos Immortal Egg and the Immortal's Broken Arm on his person. Either one was a truly priceless treasure, capable of becoming the final concluding treasure of a universe-level auction, and thus naturally attracted the attention of powerhouses from all realms.
Naturally, the ultimate goal of all these great figures who came knocking was to hope to obtain these two priceless treasures.
Some of these great figures were quite direct, hoping to conduct a transaction with Ye Chen. However, no one dared to threaten or force him.
Because the series of events that had occurred previously had made everyone truly understand what an overwhelmingly domineering figure the Battle Saint King was. He showed no fear even towards an Overlord-level power like the Soul-Restraining Hall, and even dared to kill three Soul-Restraining Hall Great Powers in front of Deputy Hall Master Qin Jiuyou, a peak Great Power. This speaks volumes.
Such a young generation's supreme prodigy must absolutely not be offended, otherwise it would be the greatest trouble.
Of course, facing these great figures' desire for transactions, Ye Chen uniformly declined politely, his tone courteous, causing many great figures to sigh slightly.
However, there were also quite a few who wanted to indirectly probe, hoping to find out if the Emperor Pill had also fallen into Ye Chen's hands.
Ye Chen naturally shook his head and stated that he too very much wanted to know the Emperor Pill's final owner.
In the end, Ye Chen's place quieted down.
However, starting from this day, Ye Chen began to focus on researching the Chaos Immortal Egg and the Immortal's Broken Arm.
Especially the Chaos Immortal Egg; even Ye Chen was quite curious about what kind of supreme living being's embryo was gestating within.
He summoned the Chaos Great Cauldron and the Heaven-Wastage Great Halberd, directly sealing off the Treasure Pavilion where he resided. He also laid down one massive formation after another, then sat cross-legged in the void, taking out the Chaos Immortal Egg from the Chaos Great Cauldron.
Rumble—
The Chaos Immortal Egg, as if cast from eternal sun's crimson gold, hovered in mid-air. Exquisite and infinitely profound Great Dao patterns covered every inch of the Chaos Immortal Egg, as if recording the most profound and unfathomable Heavenly Fire Great Dao of the world, containing infinite Great Dao profundities.
During this, wisps of crimson-gold immortal fire continuously flickered, completely melting the entire void, causing Ye Chen's expression to turn grave.
Not to mention anything else, just the wisps of crimson-gold Dao Fire coiling around the Chaos Immortal Egg were extraordinary. They were true immortal fire condensed from Great Dao runes, capable of burning even a Heavenly King and injuring a Great Power.
Ye Chen opened his Heaven's Eye, within which ancient Chaos Qi intertwined, seeing through everything. He saw many profound runes of the Heavenly Fire Great Dao. A brief gaze allowed him to understand these runes much more deeply, making him even more curious about what supreme living being's embryo was inside the Chaos Immortal Egg.
He reached out his hand, touching the Chaos Immortal Egg. As if sensing contact from an external living being, the wisps of crimson-gold Dao Fire grew much more intense and even burned towards Ye Chen's hand.
