Grasping Evil - Chapter 234

Chapter 234

When Evil Light displayed his skills, every cultivator at the scene was stricken by fear .

When Evil Light fled after being defeated, everyone was terrified .

After all, Evil Light was an expert at the Spirit Severing Realm – a cultivation level which was dreamt and pursued by countless Nascent Soul Realm cultivators for their whole lives . Even though Evil Light was the weakest of the Spirit Severing Realm cultivators, none of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was on par with him…

But now, he was defeated with just a single finger by a Late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?!

That finger congealed the Primordial Energy into momentum, condensing the Heavenly Spiritual Energy into the black sun and conjured a sword from the power of the sun and finally transformed the sword into threads… When the Second Finger was displayed, heaven broke and his enemy perished…

So this is the true power of Zhou Ming?! Among the 13 Spirit Severing Realm experts of the External Endless Sea, how many of them would be able to withstand that technique?!

Each of the old monsters’ eyes were anchored at the indifferent young man standing before Su Yao while gulping in fear .

For ordinary cultivators who entered the cultivation world, most of them played dumb to take advantage of other cultivators .

However, this Zhou Ming never knew how to keep a low profile for himself throughout his journey in the Endless Sea . Regarding his confrontation with Evil Light just now, the other cultivators would not have chosen to display their trump cards or ultimate techniques in the first round if they were the ones who fought Evil Light instead . They would at most try to probe their opponent’s capabilities . But Zhou Ming directly used his killing move in his first clash with Evil Light .

Though it looked reckless, it showed that Ning Fan’s philosophy of life was much wiser than theirs .

Without power, one surely has to lie low and avoid unwanted attention . If one had great power that is enough to rule over the External Endless Sea and overpower the Internal Endless Sea, why should he still hide his capability to himself?

If Ning Fan did not use his killing move in the first round, would it still be easy for him to do so after Evil Light saw through his capabilities and put up his guard?

Ning Fan felt unbearable pain from his immortal veins . That technique took quite a toll on him .

Even so, his eyes gradually turned calm, as if he was unaffected by the pain .

His gaze shifted from the eastern room to the northern room on the fourth floor and lingered on the western room .

From their respective rooms, Zhou Qing, Zhou Qi, Guan Xiong and Purple Gu walked out with a confused look .

All their auras pressed against Ning Fan, with the intention of testing the latter . However, in the face of the massive aura, Ning Fan remained composed and appeared to be unaffected .

He was not afraid of auras . At the very least, those aura below the Void Fragmentation Realm had no effect against him .

“I am Zhou Ming . I’ve killed someone here . Maybe some of you are displeased by my actions . If any of you is dissatisfied with me, by all means, fight me!”

Obviously, his words were for the Spirit Severing Realm experts from the three rooms of the fourth floor .

Guan Xiong was the first one to withdraw his aura . His eyes were filled with awe . With a slap on his storage pouch, he took out a three cun* long silver sword which had a blunt tip and no sharp edges on its sides . There was an inscription on its surface . It was a token in the form of a sword .

“Sword cultivation is always domineering . It is very common to kill the foe with just one slash . I hold no discontent towards Fellow Daoist Zhou . In fact, I am impressed by Fellow Daoist’s incredible swordsmanship . If Fellow Daoist is free, perhaps you can come visit the Sword Island… This is the Sword Token of the island . With this token, no one would hinder Fellow Daoist from entering the island!”

Guan Xiong a . k . a Sword Slave was trying to befriend Ning Fan! He even gave him a pass to enter the Sword Island as a keepsake!

Suddenly, the Sword Token shot out a miniature sword that carried a sword qi containing enough power to eliminate an ordinary Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert in an instant at Ning Fan . But when it came in front of him, he flicked his finger and immediately, the small sword quivered while its sword qi dispersed .

“Crushing a sword with just a flick of finger?! This kid has a really strong body refining realm . I suppose he is at the Jade Life Realm…” Guan Xiong praised inwardly . The sword qi was actually released with intention to probe Ning Fan’s ability .

“Thank you, Senior Guan . I will keep the Sword Token for the meantime . If there is a chance, I will definitely pay the Sword Island a visit…”

Ning Fan kept the item and cupped his fists while Guan Xiong gently nodded his head and returned to his room in the northern direction . He was a representative from the Sword Island . In other words, the Sword Island harbored no hostility towards Ning Fan!

“This Guan Xiong has an outstanding spirit like that of a hero . He is a wholehearted sword cultivator . He befriended me mainly out of sincerity and partially because of my Sword Finger Technique… As such, if I attain Spirit Severing Realm, there’s no harm for me to visit the Sword Island . ”

Ning Fan’s gaze fell on Zhou Qing . He was the second person who withdrew his aura . On his glabella, there was a half-formed silver Lightning Star which he had yet to fully congeal .

This person looks like a cultivator with Immemorial Lightning Vein…

Just as their gazes met, Zhou Qing’s eyes turned solemn and activated the power of his Lightning Star . The half star flashed and his eyes began to fill with lightning as he stared at Ning Fan .

He had already heard that Ning Fan also possessed the Lightning Star . If it wasn’t because of that rumor, he would not have shown consideration for a cultivator from the External Endless Sea like Ning Fan, judging from his supercilious attitude .

“I am the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Clan . I am the person who possess the strongest potential in the Zhou Clan . With a nearly discarded blood vein, I managed to congeal the Immemorial Lightning Star… This person is not a member of the Zhou Clan . It’s impossible that he has congealed a Lightning Star…”

Zhou Qing’s eyes might look like lightning, but Ning Fan’s eyes were like the starry sky . As their gazes met once more, Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with blood lightning . Immediately, Zhou Qing felt as if a ray of blood lightning blasted within his mind, making the lightning in his eyes immediately diminish and submit!

A drastic change appeared on Zhou Qing’s face as he retreated two steps back . With his current cultivation level, he felt powerless in trying to expel the blood lightning from his Sea of Consciousness!

“Zhou Qi!”

“Yes!”

The silver-robed elderly Spirit Severing Realm expert behind him made a step forward and reached out his hand to support Zhou Qing from the back, stabilizing him . After that, his finger which flashed with lightning power pressed against Zhou Qing’s forehead, forcing the ray of blood lightning out from the latter’s Sea of Consciousness .

At this moment, both Zhou Qi and Zhou Qing exchanged glances of disbelief . Both their hearts were in disarray, as if there was a tempestuous storm raging within their minds .

Zhou Qing was not shocked at the fact that Ning Fan could kill Evil Light because he was capable of killing him as well .

The devastating power of Zhou Ming’s finger might be able to impress Zhou Qing but the latter still upheld his pride, thinking that he too, had a powerful ability, though Ning Fan was stronger than him .

But when that ray of blood lightning flashed in his mind, Zhou Qing, the Son of Heaven of Zhou Clan had a total mental breakdown .

He was arrogant because he had successfully congealed half of the Lightning Star . However, the man from the External Endless Sea before him had formed the complete Lightning Star!

When we compared our lightning power against each other, my silver lightning can’t even compete with this man’s blood lightning .

What is the type of lightning he possesses?! It was just like the Lightning that belongs to the Heavenly Tribulation…

With just a glance, Zhou Qing lost .

A pained expression came over his face . But in the next second, he wiped that dispirited look on his face and wore a calm smile instead .

“Hehe . Fellow Daoist Zhou must be joking . The Black Buddha Sect was just an insignificant sect in the Internal Endless Sea, let alone Evil Light who was not even worth mentioning . His existence has no significance at all . Besides, our Zhou Clan has nothing to do with him even if you have killed him . Fellow Daoist’s techniques are indeed profound . Zhou Qing feels ashamed for not being able to be on par with you . Be it in the Internal Endless Sea or the External Endless Sea, now I can proudly say that Fellow Daoist is the number one cultivator below the Spirit Severing Realm . Moreover, Fellow Daoist would be recognized as an outstanding being among the Spirit Severing Realm experts . Take this . It is the Thunder Emperor’s Token of our Zhou Clan . If Fellow Daoist enters the Internal Endless Sea in the future, feel free to come to our clan…”

*Sucks in cold breath*

The strongest Nascent Soul Realm cultivator of the Internal Endless Sea conceded defeat to Zhou Ming?

It would be unreasonable for the cultivators of the External Endless Sea not to be shocked when even the Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Internal Endless Sea widened their eyes, feeling it hard to believe what they had just heard .

The Son of Heaven of the Zhou Clan, Zhou Qing . This person was famously known for his excellent innate potential as well as his haughty demeanor . No doubt, his techniques were strong . As a cultivator who had yet to attain the Spirit Severing Realm, he had already defeated three Early Spirit Severing Realm experts in total . On the Board of Devils, he was a figure who was in the top 100 experts…

Usually, he was a person who did not even put Early Spirit Severing Realm experts in his eyes . But today, he had a favorable impression of Zhou Ming .

All in all, Zhou Ming’s decision in killing Evil Light was quite worthwhile as he had gained a favorable opinion and respect from the Sword Island and Zhou Clan, establishing a positive relationship with the two influential forces .

Ning Fan received the Thunder Emperor’s Token . This token, however, was not equipped with anything to test him as it was done through the single gaze earlier .

Ning Fan shifted his gaze to the surface of the token, scrutinizing the totem of a lightning beast with silver horns . It looked primitive yet domineering .

After keeping this token, Ning Fan cupped his fists as a gesture of respect towards Zhou Qing while the latter nodded with a smile and returned to his room with Zhou Qi .

“Zhou Qing is really an exceptional personage . He could erase the bitterness of defeat within his heart immediately after the battle and reignited his fighting spirit… He must be a person who climbed up from the bottom and strived to grow from adversity which molded him into a tenacious and resilient man . Thousands of years later, his name might appear on the list of Void Fragmentation Realm experts in the Rain World… But the main reason he tried to befriend me is probably because of the blood lightning of my Lightning Star and only a tiny portion of sincerity… Unless I have the power to resist Venerated Zhou, I must never go to the Zhou Clan . If not, I might get killed and robbed of the blood lightning…”

Finally, Ning Fan’s gaze fixed on Purple Gu Daoist .

“Truth to be told, I have some conflicts with the Demon Sealing Sect . I wonder what Fellow Daoist Purple Gu is going to do about it!”

A hint of gloominess flashed within Purple Gu’s eyes . The next second, he burst into laughter .

“Fellow Daoist must be joking . I have already known about the death of Eagle Crane Elder . A mere Late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like him truly deserved death the moment he decided to pursue Fellow Daoist . I’ll just forget about it and just treat it as a friendly gesture from the Demon Sealing Sect . However, Fellow Daoist must not harm anyone from my sect . Otherwise…Hehe, Fellow Daoist should be able to understand what’s the consequences for it . ”

As Purple Gu finished speaking, he took out a purple token and tossed it towards Ning Fan .

“This is the token from Venerated Demon of the Demon Sealing Sect . With this token, Fellow Daoist will surely be treated with respect when you come to my sect in the future . I sincerely hope that we will be able to meet in my sect one day . ”

Ning Fan received the token and studied it using his spirit sense . Immediately, his lips curved into a sneer .

Within the token hid a grey demon seal that is used to track his position… The one who planted this seal must have a cultivation level that was not any weaker than Venerated Giant and Venerated Dong Xu .

It should belong to Venerated Demon himself!

On the surface, this token was a sign of a friendly relationship between Zhou Ming and the Demon Sealing Sect . In actual reality, if Ning Fan keeps this token, Purple Gu would be able to grasp his location and then pursue him to hunt him down .

Evidently, this Purple Gu didn’t really mean what he was saying . He is not actually unconcerned of the death of the Eagle Crane Elder .

I have forced the purple demon seal that he planted on the Eagle Crane Elder into the All-Heaven Relic, causing him to lose track of my location . Therefore, he gave me this token under the façade of a friendly party so that he could have access to my location…

“Purple Gu Taoist . He is rumored to own seventeen-thousand worms which are called Purple Bites . Among the Early Spirit Severing Realm experts, no one would be willing to be his enemy… This person might act friendly on the outside, but deep inside, he harbors the intention to kill me . Perhaps he thought that I have pried into the fragments of the Eagle Crane Elder’s memories and discovered some secrets of the Demon Sealing Sect . Maybe that is why he intends to extinguish my existence . He wants to prevent the leakage of their secrets… However, what he does not know is that I had not managed to undo the power of the purple seal, let alone pry into the secrets of the sect . But I guess even if I give him that explanation, he would not believe me . Hmm . The feud against the Demon Sealing Sect will be difficult to defuse… There is not any sincerity in his act of giving me this token . There is only enmity instead . Unless I possess the power to annihilate the entire Demon Sealing Sect, I must never set foot on the sect’s territory!”

Ning Fan’s expression remained unchanged but he was sneering within his heart . He kept Venerated Demon’s Token and shifted his gaze away from Purple Gu . He never cast another glance at him, not to mention greet him with respect .

Purple Gu’s facial muscles twitched in irritation . Despite the boiling anger within his heart, his expression did not reveal even a hint of rage . He shot Ning Fan another glance and returned to his room .

“A wildly arrogant kid! Just wait for me to call for my men . When the time comes, death will be your only ending!” Purple Gu inwardly swore .

After the defeat of Evil Light from the Black Buddha Sect, three out of the seven venerated forces befriended Ning Fan!

For the cultivators present, all of them were dumbstruck .

A cultivator who had yet to attain Spirit Severing Realm was capable of eliminating Evil Light, a true-blue Spirit Severing Realm expert . Apart from that, he had even made the three venerated forces of the Internal Endless Sea to be on friendly terms with him .

This Ning Fan is truly fierce! If he attains the Spirit Severing Realm, he surely would be able to put up a fight against Mid Spirit Severing Realm experts, wouldn’t he?

Furthermore, only a minority of experts knew that Xu Rushan was actually backed by the Giant Devil Sect . His action of befriending Ning Fan implied that the Giant Devil Sect also sided with Ning Fan .

That is to say, among the Seven Venerated in the Internal Endless Sea, four of them had associated themselves with Ning Fan!

Note :

Measurements :
a . li(里) = 500 m
b . zhang(丈) = 3 . 13 m
c . chi(尺) = 30 . 7 cm
d . cun(寸) = 3 . 33cm

Try to imagine this: how would they feel if they knew that there was still one of the Seven Venerated of the Internal Endless Sea – Venerated Dong Xu, who personally met Ning Fan and tried to rope him in by offering him precious benefits that would tempt just about anyone at the Nascent Soul Realm?

Unfortunately, none of them would know anything about it . Likewise, none of them would figure out that Evil Light would be brought back although he was seen fleeing away at an incredible speed .

After the death of a Spirit Severing Realm old monster, most of the cultivators who bid for the last item were instantly filled with regrets .

After the death of Evil Light, the Dao Fruit lost its master .

On the auction stage, the Late Nascent Soul Realm auctioneer’s face was filled with awkwardness .

To whom should I give this Dao Fruit…

“Who was it that shouted 8 million just now?” The auctioneer’s eyes swept across the hall and landed on the Nascent Soul Realm old monster who called out the price earlier . Immediately, that cultivator behaved anxiously as if he was sitting on pins and needles and inwardly cursed at the auctioneer .

F**k you! Are you blind and senseless? Why the hell are you looking at me?! This Dao Fruit is clearly a hot potato . It has to belong to the sect master of Bi Yao Sect, Su Yao! Don’t you know who Su Yao is?! The devil lord, Zhou Ming, has literally said that she is his human cauldron! Evil Light who shouted 9 million has died… Do you want me to die too?! He is Zhou Ming ah! Don’t you get it?! Zhou Ming ah! During the auction in Peng Lai Immortal Island, he massacred thousands of people . This time, he even killed a Spirit Severing Realm expert . If I dare to go against his woman for the Dao Fruit, there is no way I can be freaking alive!

That cultivator was a respectable Late Nascent Soul Realm old monster of the Lu Clan from the External Endless Sea . However, he was as insignificant as an insect in front of the devil lord, Zhou Ming .

Before he could even speak, he could feel the cold-piercing eyes of Ning Fan staring at him .

For a moment, he felt a chill down his spine with his heart skipping a beat .

It’s bad! I’m being targeted by him!

“This Fellow Daoist, you bid 8 million, didn’t you? Please pay for it…” The auctioneer squeezed out a smile on his face . Deep inside, he earnestly wished that the auction could end straight away and immediately leave the tower .

“I’m sorry . I didn’t bring enough money . I don’t want the Dao Fruit anymore . Give it to the person who bid for 7 million just now!” The old monster surnamed Lu’s face was filled with impatience and terror .

“Er… If that’s the case, the Fellow Daoist who bid 7 million just now, please pay for it…”

“Aiya . It’s so unlucky that I didn’t bring enough money as well… Please give it to the person who shouted 6 . 6 million earlier…”

“Er . Who bid for 6 . 6 million…”

Before the auctioneer could finish speaking, a series of voices echoed in the air .

“It’s such an unlucky day . I lost my storage pouch . I’m sorry . I don’t have 6 . 6 million…”

“I shouted 6 . 2 million but I don’t have enough money…”

“This old man shouted 6 million but similarly, I don’t have that amount of money ah…”

The old monsters exchanged awkward glances . None of them dared to take the Dao Fruit .

They were not imbeciles who would risk offending the devil lord Zhou Ming for just 20 units of magic power… If they lost their lives, all their efforts in cultivation would then be washed down the drain .

“Interesting . Everyone seems to have insufficient money . As such, only Yao Er2could buy this Dao Fruit…” Ning Fan grinned while Su Yao blushed .

She was both grateful and angry .

Yao Er… Since when did I allow him to address me in that manner…

The dignified sect master of Bi Yao Sect which was one of the top ten sects in the External Endless Sea was publicly announced as Zhou Ming’s human cauldron . That identity did not degrade her worth . On the contrary, countless female devil cultivators secretly envied Su Yao for having Zhou Ming’s protection .

“Er… Sect Master Su, this Dao Fruit is worth 5 . 5 million . Do you have enough money…” The auctioneer bitterly smiled .

“Of course I do…” Su Yao who had yet to recover from what had happened earlier answered intuitively and flew to the stage while kicking her legs, making her appear to be walking in  mid-air . After paying the exact amount of immortal jade, she returned to her room with the Dao Fruit .

The sale of the Dao Fruit marked the end of the auction . Finally, the stressed-out auctioneer was permitted to leave . The person who took over his position next was Yan Zhongze .

He had been invited by Xu Rushan to preside over the Peak Nascent Soul Realm auction . Many of the items that would be auctioned were able to raise the interest of the Spirit Severing Realm experts to bid . It would then be dangerous if there was not a Spirit Severing Realm expert to manage the auction .

All the cultivators below the Peak Nascent Soul Realm stood up and left the tower . A short while later, there wasn’t a single person left at the second floor .

Meanwhile, those Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who did not possess the Pleasure Devil Pass also had to leave the auction .

In other words, Su Yao could not stay at the auction too .

However, there wasn’t any reason for her to stay any longer as she had achieved her main objective .

“Thank you…” She bit her lip in shyness .

This time, can this be considered as the fourth time he saved me?

“Only thanking me verbally…” Ning Fan teased .

“Er . No . It’s not…”

Her cheeks turned rosy and signaled the other female cultivators of her sect to leave first .

When every female cultivator left the room, Su Yao hesitated as if she was making the biggest decision of her life . Then she stood on the tip of her toes and brushed her lips against Ning Fan’s cheek, just like a dragonfly touching the water lightly .

“If you come to Bi Yao Sect one day, I, Su Yao, will never break my promise . I will be ready for you to pluck me…”

Her cheeks became redder and hotter . As the master of the sect, she would be considered audacious to speak such words to a man .

But still, I have to leave…

She slowly walked to the door of the room . Each of the steps she made got her further away from Ning Fan, making her feel an inexplicable disappointment .

However, before she could exit the room, Ning Fan caught her wrist .

“Wait . ”

“Why? Is a kiss not enough for you…” When her skin came into contact with Ning Fan’s hand, she felt her body become limp and numb and felt reluctant to let go of Ning Fan’s hand .

“Take these 3 Dao Fruits with you . As for this Nascent Formation Pill and ten million immortal jade, help me to pass them to Suqiu…”

“Three Dao Fruits?! Ten million immortal jade?!” Su Yao covered her mouth in shock .

“Mm-hmm . Maybe your Bi Yao Sect also has this Nascent Formation Pill . However, pills refined by common Fourth Revolution Pill Masters cannot match mine . Mine is much better!”

He did not explain to Su Yao about his identity as a Fifth Revolution Pill Master . There was no need for him to do so .

“See you again!”

Ning Fan cupped his fists with a broad smile on his face and returned to his room on the third floor .

Su Yao’s gaze lingered on the sight of his back and her lips curved into a shallow smile . Only when his body disappeared from her sight did she turned and left with light footsteps .

“Thank you . Thank you for being so nice to Sister Suqiu . Thank you for saving me so many times…”

Back in his room, Dong Xu who was already back, looked at Ning Fan with a faint smile on his face . His hands were holding an extremely powerless black Primordial Spirit .

“Here is the Primordial Spirit of that person . You may do whatever you want with him . So will this be considered as the first time I help you?”

“Senior must be joking . Catching a Primordial Spirit of a Spirit Severing Realm expert is just a trivial matter to Senior . How could such an insignificant act be considered as an occasion…”

Ning Fan took the Primordial Spirit and storage pouch of Evil Light and planted a seal on it before keeping it .

Suddenly, he shifted her gaze towards Xu Qiuling .

Defeating Evil Light, catching his Primordial Spirit, the power of his means… Xu Qiuling was awestruck by all the things that had happened earlier . But at the same time, she remembered that the reason why Ning Fan fought was because he was saving his woman . As she thought of that, her heart began to feel sour .

“Young Master Zhou sure has a lot of women…”

But the sourness in her heart immediately turned into nervousness when she caught sight of Ning Fan staring straight at her .

“Why? Is there some dirt on my face?”

“No . It’s just that I am rather interested in the next auction . Other than knowing there will be a Spirit Severing Realm human cauldron for sale, I have no idea what items will be auctioned . Therefore, I thought of asking Mistress Qiuling about them . Of course, what I am concerned about the most is the Spirit Severing Realm human cauldron . I wonder if Mistress Qiuling knows anything about her…”

“Since Young Master has asked, I will tell you everything I know . In this auction, there will be lots of good things for sale . For instance, Fifth Revolution Pills, pill recipes, Spirit Severing Realm cultivation methods, secret arts, Profound Heaven Spiritual Treasures and of course, the keys to certain secret realms of the Endless Sea . However, I suppose all the things I have mentioned might not be able to raise Young Master Zhou’s interest . The main attraction of this auction consists of four things . Firstly, a Profound Grade Divine Intent Stone which can assure Spirit Severing Realm experts a certain success rate of congealing their own Divine Intent . Secondly, a Mortal Void Realm Spiritual Iron – Power Drain . This type of spiritual iron is considered as a rare supreme grade spiritual iron among all the Mortal Void Realm Spiritual Iron . Thirdly, a complete Dao Crystal . Lastly, it certainly is the Spirit Severing Realm human cauldron . However, I really don’t know much about the identity of the woman…”

“Divine Intent Stone, spiritual iron, Dao Crystal…” Ning Fan muttered .

These three items were indeed exceptional especially the Mortal Void Realm Spiritual Iron – Power Drain . If it was used to augment the Spirit Crushing Whip, the weapon would without a doubt become even more powerful . But now, the item he was concerned the most was still the Spirit Severing Realm human cauldron .

Xu Qiuling also does not know about this woman…

“You must not touch the woman…” Old Ancestor Dong Xu spoke in a solemn tone .

“Oh?! Senior Dong Xu knows something about the woman? Please speak more!” Ning Fan’s eyes widened in surprise .

“She is someone from the Divine Space Island! She is probably the disciple of Venerated Moon!”

“Divine Space Island?!”

Ning Fan knitted his brows while listening to Dong Xu’s explanation .

Divine Space Island was one of the forces of the Venerated Seven in the Internal Endless Sea . As for Venerated Moon, she was the strongest among the seven venerated beings . Her power was slightly stronger than Venerated Giant and the others . Furthermore, her cultivation level was already half-step away from the Void Refinement Realm .

This Divine Space Island was located at the Divine Space Sea . However, the Power of the Void Realm caused a disturbance in that area . Therefore, even Spirit Severing Realm experts would only have a slim chance of surviving if they enter the Divine Space Island without caution . The Divine Space Island did not care about the outside world and the disciples of the sect rarely got in touch with people from outside .

But recently, countless female corpses had been spotted floating out of Divine Space Sea .

One of them was not completely dead yet and she had been caught to become the Spirit Severing Realm human cauldron of this auction .

Every force in the Internal Endless Sea guessed that something massive must have happened on the island .

The most absurd rumor was that Venerated Moon failed in attaining Void Refinement Realm, rendering her mad and slaughtering all her disciples .

Some of the experts in the Internal Endless Sea who had once been planted Mental Seals by Venerated Moon claimed that their seals vanished themselves! Undoubtedly, it meant that Venerated Moon was probably dead…

If anyone could search the Spirit Severing Realm woman’s memories, the mystery of the Divine Space Island would then come to light . They might even gain a clear idea of the location of the Sea Market and the capital of the island . Perhaps someone might be able to obtain the inheritance of Venerated Moon . The people of the island might all be dead, but the treasures and items were still probably there in the sect .

Publicly, they appeared to be bidding for a Spirit Severing Realm human cauldron . Privately, they were actually competing with each other to get the inheritance .

However, the memories of the human cauldron were sealed . Her state of mind was not conscious, causing her to be like a dunce with no intelligence . Ordinary people could not search her memories at all, let alone interrogate her . Not only that, even Venerated Giant’s secret art of soul searching was ineffective on her .

As such, the Giant Devil Sect gave up on her . Even Dong Xu was incapable of searching her memories and soul . Those who had yet to try searching her soul were the Sword Island, Zhou Clan and the Demon Sealing Sect . The Black Buddha Sect was purely being overconfident of themselves to send Evil Light to participate in the auction of the Spirit Severing Realm human cauldron…

No matter what happened in the Divine Space Island, the danger was grave and unpredictable .

Only the forces of the seven venerated beings dared to conduct investigations on the island . For Ning Fan, Dong Xu advised him not to intervene in this matter . Regarding the key to enter the island, it would definitely be the Spirit Severing Realm human cauldron .

“The so-called auction of the Spirit Severing Realm human cauldron later is actually a platform for the Spirit Severing Realm experts from the three different sects to search the woman’s memories with their respective secret arts . If none of them succeeded, the woman will then lose her value and she would only be regarded as a human cauldron…”

“If she is just a human cauldron, no one would be willing to bid for her…”

Dong Xu clearly knew more about the Spirit Severing Realm human cauldron than Xu Rushan and the others .

After hearing his explanation, Ning Fan pondered in silence .

As such, if the Spirit Severing Realm experts fail, I will then have the chance to get this human cauldron .

I suppose they would not bid against me for the human cauldron with the prestige I have established earlier by killing Evil Light .

Moreover, I wonder whether my Mind Reading Technique would enable me to know anything from this human cauldron .

“The auction now begins . The first item is a forty thousand years old spiritual herb - Thousand Swords Heart Separation Grass . If this grass is refined, it can help in increasing a sword cultivator’s cultivation level . The starting bid is 3 million!”

Ning Fan’s eyes turned clear . The first item of the auction was the perfect item for stabilizing the cultivation of his Second Finger of the Sword Finger Technique .
