Battle Royale
“Brother Lan, did you say it was impossible to draw a map of the place? Did it grow legs and leave the realm on its own accord or something?”
“Hehe, one of my seniors around my age took the risk of infiltrating to find something to extend his lifespan. He accidentally found himself lost in the heart of the realm. He thought he was a goner, but he coincidentally picked up the map fragment. That was how he escaped. I’ll be the first to say he was extremely lucky to escape the centre alive.”
“If you memorise it, won’t you make a big sum off it?”
“Although it’s a map of the realm, the realm itself alters; consequently, the map changes. As you might imagine, it’s impossible to memorise or record it.”
“My head is spinning now.”
There was no room for doubt the other races and clans wouldn’t let Black Desert Hall keep the map.
Meanwhile, the bidding for the divine seed was intense. There were materials Yang Tian never heard of before offered. He found entertainment out of it, imagining the looks on their faces when they spent a fortune on it, yet couldn’t grow it.
Yang Tian spent an inconceivable number of herbs and more to help Yun’er maintain her appearance. She no longer needed spiritual herbs to sustain her ever since obtaining Merit from Yang Tian.
Yin Yang Divine Cult: “Shut it! I’m offering a Five Extremes Mystic Light Empyrean Crystal.”
Intrigued by the flood of comments, Yang Tian asked Yang Xiao about it.
Yang Xiao explained, “It’s five types of heaven and Earth Rule divine materials only certain domains possess. Juniors can learn Rule from it.”
Yang Tian gasped and said, “Hehe, I bet there is only a tiny amount of divine material; I doubt there is enough to forge an item, or they would not have sold it. It is amazing enough to be a clan guardian item!”
After ten minutes of chattering, the elder waiting for them smiled. “Yin Yang Divine Cult takes home the seed!”
Nobody was surprised it was sold.
Yang Tian wondered if Yin Yang Divine Cult was confident they could grow it.
The elder chuckled and said, “Now, for the last item.”
Everyone held their breaths, guessing what sort of amazing item could surpass the divine seed. Those from Great Desolation knew what was coming up. The factions around Black Desert Hall pressured them into auctioning said item; that was the only reason Black Desert Hall decided to auction it.
The elder lifted the red silk, revealing the ancient map fragment. Indeed, many people had no idea what they were looking at, going as far as to disregard it. The VIP customers were so stirred they seemed as if they’d fight for it. Yang Tian was even more excited than them, sweating, happy and nervous all at once. It was the fragment he’d been searching for the entire time! It was the last fragment of the map that revealed the location of one of Yang Clan’s treasures! No way was he letting his clan’s treasure fall into the hands of another.
Yang Xiao’s eyes were red. He belted, “It’s the map fragment! It’s the last map fragment!”
Yang Tian nodded vigorously, but he worried about what he was going to compete against the others with. Firstly, there was no way it’d go for a low price, and the big clans coveted it without a doubt. Secondly, how was he going to leave Tianshui City with his life? He asked, “Uncle Xiao, what shall I do?”
“Give me a moment.” Yang Xiao scratched his head as he deliberated. “They will go all in for it, but there’s not just one group after it!”
Yang Xiao looked thirsty for blood.
“You mean you want to fight for it?!”
“Everyone will fight for it, and there will be deaths and injuries. We’ll sit back and wait to swoop in and steal the harvest! Worst comes to worst, we’ll flee with it and run straight into the centre of the realm, since you already have three fragments.”
“But…” Yang Tian furrowed his eyebrows. Omnipotent Realm adepts weren’t going to just let him walk all over them.
“I spent the last few days going through the manuals of that vicious devil girl. I found a secret technique that allows the caster to control another individual’s body. If I master the technique, we can use the body we take control of.”
Yang Tian was thrilled to hear that.
