The fat man said with a smile, "If you want to leave this place, a few holy medicines are far from enough."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiwang raised an eyebrow and took out a miraculous medicine, placing it on the table.

The divine medicine is extremely valuable, even emperors would go crazy for it. Xu Xiwang only had two, and in order to find a way to leave, he had no choice but to reluctantly give up one as an exchange.

Unfortunately, the fat man in front of him still maintained a nonchalant expression, saying, "Not enough."

What do you want?

Xu Xiwang said in a deep voice.

"hey-hey!"

The fat man smiled. "I want the girl in your arms."

After saying that, the fat man pointed to the little girl who was sleeping soundly in Xu Xiwang's arms.

Xu Xiwang frowned slightly, looking down at the little girl in his arms, his mind filled with doubt, "What do you want her for?"

"I am destined to be with her."

The fat man laughed.

"She's my daughter, I won't switch her with someone else!"

Xu Xiwang refused outright.

"Your daughter? You must be joking."

The fat man chuckled, his eyes fixed on the little girl, as if he knew some secret.

"dad..."

At the same time, the sleeping little girl murmured softly and rubbed against Xu Xiwang's neck.

The fat man's lips twitched, as if he had heard something unbelievable. He took a deep breath and said to Xu Xiwang with a smile, "Since you are not willing to exchange her for her, then I will take three drops of your Chaos Divine Body's heart blood."

Xu Xiwang frowned, his face gradually darkening. He looked up at the fat man and said, "Sir, you can actually see through me."

"Hehe, you don't need to misunderstand. My Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has always had a principle: we do not commit murder or robbery."

The fat man chuckled and explained, "While your Chaos Divine Body is rare, it's not considered the strongest in the entire universe. Besides, you're only at the Saint Emperor realm right now. What use would you have a Chaos Divine Body? I just want a few drops of your heart's blood to study later."

Xu Xiwang stared at the fat man for a moment.

Whoosh!

Xu Xiwang's body surged with chaotic divine light, and in an instant, a terrifying pressure swept out.

Boom!

The tables, chairs, and benches around the fat man all shattered into dust.

Xu Xiwang placed his hand on his chest, and three drops of his heart's blood floated out and fell into the fat man's palm.

"The blood of the Chaos God Body is indeed extraordinary!"

The fat man clicked his tongue in amazement. He reached out and touched the three drops of bright red blood on his palm, then smiled and said to Xu Xiwang, "This place was the most prosperous ancient realm in the world 500,000 years ago, and one of the ancient battlefields where the Central Empire unified the universe. Although it is now in ruins, many powerful relics still remain, and there are many opportunities within. In that war, Holy Emperors were soldiers, and Great Emperors were generals. If you are lucky, you might be able to obtain the inheritance left behind by a fallen power!"

How do I leave this place?

Xu Xiwang said, her face somewhat pale.

His heart's blood was the source of his life. Although it could be replenished slowly in the future, this action left him extremely weak.

"Leaving this place is difficult, but not impossible. For example, many of the great emperors who came here could leave now, but they want to seek opportunities here."

The fat man played with Xu Xiwang's heart's blood and said, "Either you become a true Great Emperor, powerful enough to break through space. Or you find that legendary ancient road that has been severed. It is said that an ancient immortal palace is buried within the ancient road, where there are earth-shattering creations. If you can find it, it may allow you to have an epiphany and successfully become an Emperor. That's all I have to say. Chaotic Divine Body, see you in the martial world."

After saying that, the fat man disappeared, and the maidservant transformed into a piece of drawing paper and burned to ashes.

Xu Xiwang's eyes flickered, and after a long silence, he turned and left the room.

"Young master, please wait."

The waiter hurriedly came out and stopped Xu Xiwang with a bright smile, "Sir, my master just said that he wants to form a good relationship with you. This is a high-level VIP token from my Tianji Pavilion. Please keep it safe."

"Our Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is located all over the universe. As long as you present this token, our Heavenly Secrets Pavilion will do its best to entertain you and will not dare to neglect you!"

After saying that, he handed Xu Xiwang a palm-sized golden token.

"Furthermore, my master has instructed that there will be an auction in the city tonight, where you will find the items you need."

The waiter said with a smile, "Also, your daughter has a special background. My master advises you not to make a fuss about it, lest it bring trouble."

"Tianji Pavilion..."

Xu Xiwang murmured, looking at the black token in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

It was night, and a hall in the very center of the city was bustling with people coming and going; all those entering and leaving were powerful figures.

A treasure auction will be held tonight. It is said that this auction is hosted by a highly respected emperor, with the aim of allowing cultivators to exchange cultivation resources.

Xu Xiwang arrived at the entrance of the auction house, where a beautiful maid of the Saint Emperor realm greeted him and led him inside.

"Find me a quiet place."

Xu Xiwang said in a deep voice.

"Please come in, sir."

After passing through the long corridor, Xu Xiwang arrived at a huge private room, where a beautiful maidservant smiled and invited him to sit down.

Xu Xiwang nodded and casually rewarded her with a spiritual medicine. The beautiful maid immediately showed a look of joy, "Thank you, young master."

"The auction is about to begin. Please wait a moment, young master. You can call me if you need anything."

The maidservant gave a graceful bow and withdrew.

Xu Xiwang glanced around at the layout of the auction and nodded secretly. It was indeed quite large-scale, worthy of being hosted by the Great Emperor.
