King of Creation

Looking at the satisfied smile on Shuili Dan King's face and then at the full grin on Ye Zhen's face, everyone could be certain of one thing: a deal was struck!

Between the two of them, a deal was definitely made.

Shuili Dan King obtained the Xuanming Treasure Tree, while Ye Zhen gained great benefits.

As for what exactly those great benefits were, it drove many Martial Artists into a frenzy, wishing they could rush up, grab Ye Zhen by the collar, and demand to know, just to satisfy their curiosity.

But of course, that's just wishful thinking.

"Fourth brother, quickly tell me, what benefits did King Peng Dan promise you, for you to give him the Xuanming Treasure Tree?" Others might not be able to ask, but that doesn't mean Sea-Breaking Great Saint can't.

The moment he saw Ye Zhen descend, Sea-Breaking Great Saint immediately used divine soul telecommunication to speak with Ye Zhen.

Sensing the divine soul waves between Sea-Breaking Great Saint and Ye Zhen, Jie Tianhe, Hei Tian, Yang Ben, Ou Tu, and others were both anxious and helpless.

Especially Jie Tianhe and Ou Tu.

Originally, whatever benefits Ye Zhen got from Shuili Dan King were none of their business.

And with their life experiences, they had long come to terms with peace, and wouldn't care at all how much benefit Ye Zhen gained.

But the problem is, they are now up against Ye Zhen!

The Stars Tower's third-floor chief, Kui Otu, was rather easy to deal with, because he could take his time planning against Ye Zhen.

But it's different for Dragon Alliance Leader Jie Tianhe; he and Ye Zhen are fated enemies, as they each hold half of the Black Dragon Legacy.

To obtain the complete Black Dragon Legacy, one must eliminate the other and gain the other half from them.

He's waited three hundred years for this day, waited too long.

Furthermore, their Dragon Alliance has already lost three of the Nine Domain Dragon Kings consecutively: Thunderbolt Dragon King, Golden Rainbow Dragon King, and Wind Wing Dragon King, who form a third of all the Dragon Kings within the Dragon Alliance.

Since the establishment of the Dragon Alliance, they've never suffered such heavy losses.

Not to mention such severe losses, they haven't even incurred half of such losses before.

What's more fatal is that, currently known, both Thunderbolt Dragon King and Wind Wing Dragon King Bian Ben were killed by Ye Zhen, who even publicly showcased Wind Wing Dragon King Bian Ben's Sky Eagle Wind-breaking Wings.

This is a blatant slap in the face.

Not only did it thoroughly humiliate the Dragon Alliance, but it also dealt an unimaginable blow to its prestige.

The Nine Great Seas of the Outer Domain Dead Sea are vast, so vast that no single force can completely control them.

The Dragon Alliance's ability to extend its influence to any corner of the Nine Great Seas is due not just to its power control, but more importantly, its reputation.

Leveraging enormous strength, prior to this, any island that dared openly defy or contend with the Dragon Alliance would be utterly obliterated with lightning speed.

Under the deterrence of such thunderclap methods, the Dragon Alliance's influence was able to permeate every island's corner in the Outer Domain Dead Sea.

Yet now, someone has continuously killed two of the Dragon Alliance's Nine Domain Dragon Kings, and made it known to the public.

In the Dragon Alliance, the Nine Domain Dragon Kings rank only second to the leader, Jie Tianhe.

Yet they were slain by Ye Zhen.

This is a grave provocation to the dignity of the Dragon Alliance.

If Jie Tianhe does not respond, the influence painstakingly maintained by the Dragon Alliance over hundreds of years might crumble in an instant.

This influence was built through half a generation of hard work and countless lives and blood, and if it collapses, rebuilding it would be extremely difficult.

Even worse, in times of crises, the Dragon Alliance might face even greater dangers.

Therefore, no matter what, once this Pill Appreciation Conference ends, Jie Tianhe will inevitably confront Ye Zhen.

And it will be a fight to the death.

Originally, Ye Zhen already had Heavenly Wing Island behind him, backed by the Sky Wing Three Saints, making him hard to deal with.

If Shuili Dan King also stands behind Ye Zhen because of this matter, it would truly be a nightmare for the Dragon Alliance.

That's why Jie Tianhe was eager to know what kind of deal Ye Zhen made with Shuili Dan King?

Unfortunately, no matter how eager Jie Tianhe is, Ye Zhen won't tell him.

Even Sea-Breaking Great Saint didn't get a complete answer.

After persistent inquiries from Sea-Breaking Great Saint, Ye Zhen finally provided him with an answer.

"Third brother, King Peng Dan did indeed make a deal, but as of now, there's no gain!" Ye Zhen said.

Sea-Breaking Great Saint was a bit puzzled, "What do you mean? No gain at all, no benefits, is Old Peng bullying you? If he dares bully you, just tell me straight, I'll go reason with him!"

"No, third brother, it's not that King Peng Dan has yet to give me benefits, it's that I haven't quite decided what benefits I want yet!" Ye Zhen explained.

"Hmm?"

Sea-Breaking Great Saint was momentarily incredulous, then a bit dumbfounded, "Fourth brother, are you saying that King Peng Dan let you set the terms? Whatever condition you propose, he'll agree to?"

"Uh, this... fourth brother, I talked about many things with King Peng Dan, and it's not just this; there's even future cooperation!

However, rest assured about one thing: you, along with eldest and second brother, each can at least request King Peng Dan to personally conduct alchemy for you once!" Ye Zhen said.

"Really?" Sea-Breaking Great Saint was somewhat astonished by this joyous revelation.

"Absolutely true!"

"Haha, good fourth brother, we surely didn't misjudge you. Such benefits and you still thought of us brothers, haha, good! Good brother!"

In his happiness, this last sentence of Sea-Breaking Great Saint was shouted out loud, not transmitted through divine soul, immediately drawing the attention of the Martial Artists present.

All the Martial Artists on site were astute, and just from this one sentence of Sea-Breaking Great Saint, they could roughly guess what had transpired.

They guessed that Ye Zhen secured benefits for the other three of the Sky Wing Four Saints!

However, there aren't many benefits in this world that could make Sea-Breaking Great Saint so elated!

This answer left many Martial Artists with stomachs churning in envy, jealousy, and bitterness!

"Elder Lul, after returning, completely change our stance towards the Sun and Moon Divine Sect; not only should we not antagonize them, but also collaborate more closely!

As long as Ye Zhen is there, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect won't fall!" Watching Ye Zhen, who was talking and laughing with Shuili Dan King on stage, Green Sun Palace Master Chuh Yang couldn't help but sigh with genuine admiration.

"This, I've witnessed myself; truthfully, if I hadn't seen it myself, even if the Palace Master told me, I wouldn't have believed such a thing is real.

However, please be assured, Palace Master, upon returning to the True Spirit Domain, if any fool in the sect dares to question the Palace Master's decision, I'll personally go have a 'chat' with him!" From the gnashing appearance of Green Sun Palace Supreme Second Elder Lul Jia, it was clear it wouldn't just be a chat.

While these lessons were being absorbed, in the Pill Tower, Jie Tianhe watched Sea-Breaking Great Saint, who was extremely pleased with himself, with gritted teeth. Watching Ye Zhen, who was getting along well with Shuili Dan King, he became even more apprehensive, with brows tightly knitted.

Not to mention anything else, just because of Ye Zhen's current close relationship with Shuili Dan King, he must prepare in advance!

A thought came to him as Jie Tianhe's gaze turned to the Stars Tower's third-floor chief Kui Otu, and just then, Ou Tu's gaze also looked over.

The two cunning old players exchanged glances full of deep meanings...!

The stay here wasn't long, and as Shuili Dan King signaled with his eyes, the voice of Grand Steward Chen Pi announced the Martial Artists eligible to enter the Pill Tower for the auction event to proceed in one by one.

Such a scene made those Martial Artists without the qualification to enter the Pill Tower extremely envious.

It's important to know that the pills in the Pill Appreciation Conference aren't limited to only the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill and Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, as it's said that there are nearly a hundred kinds of pills listed in the auction catalog, more than half of which were personally refined by Shuili Dan King.

Pills personally refined by Shuili Dan King not only have enhanced potency but are also more stable with far fewer pill toxins.

Moreover, this Pill Appreciation Conference doesn't only feature pills but also includes various rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures submitted by Establishment King lords for the auction, a variety of cultivation technique manuals, and Spiritual Artifacts.

And there are various mysterious items and remnants unearthed by these Martial Artists from different Remnant Mansions of Secret Realms, among other things.

Almost every few sessions, there's even occasional appearances of Soul Artifacts!

This is practically the grandest trade event among the top Martial Artists of the True Profound Continent!

Unfortunately, they don't have the qualification!

All they could do was leave with frequent backward glances, full of longing!

"Please, everyone, take your seats quickly, the Pill Appreciation Conference will start in fifteen minutes!" With the last Martial Artist granted auction qualification entering the Pill Tower, Grand Steward Chen Pi's voice sounded. (To be continued.
