Chapter 349: The Origin of the Broken Bronze Cauldron



The moment he heard the name, Shen Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank, but there was still a gentle smile on his face, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

"Twilight Realm? It is indeed a name I have never heard of."

Shen Yuan responded to Deacon Qian's words casually, but at this moment his heart was already filled with caution.

Ten thousand years later, after the Great Xia Empire put down the invasion of the Dusk Realm, Shen Yuan also collected information about the Dusk Realm from various channels.

The library of the imperial family of Daxia, the secret records of the Imperial Observatory, the ancient books of various prefectures, and he even asked Gong Buyu to return to Rongcheng Dayutian to search for records about the Dusk Realm.

But even after using all his connections and information, Shen Yuan still found nothing. The Dusk Realm seemed to be a world that suddenly appeared and did not exist in the records of the Xuanhuang Realm at all.

Shen Yuan even suspected at one point that the predecessor of the Twilight Realm was a middle thousand or even a great thousand world that had completely fallen into weirdness.

Before returning to Wanzai, Shen Yuan had already forgotten all the information about the Twilight Realm. Who would have thought that he would get information related to the Twilight Realm at this auction of all realms.

After seeing Shen Yuan's strength and wealth, Deacon Qian had already intended to make friends with Shen Yuan.

Seeing that Shen Yuan seemed to be interested in the Twilight Realm, she quickly waved her hand to dismiss the two maids and began to recall information related to the Twilight Realm in this box.

“To be honest, although the Twilight Realm is only one of the thousand worlds, it has its own special features.

The heavens are vast and boundless, and different worlds are born and destroyed almost every moment. Under the cycle of birth and death of these realms, the worlds are as countless as the stars in the night sky.

Even those great Heavenly Lords may not be able to see through the existence of all worlds."

"As the power of the gods radiates throughout the heavens, the territory of heaven is expanding all the time.

In every year of the Heavenly Court's rotation, hundreds of worlds will be incorporated into the map of the heavens.

Most of these worlds will become part of the Heavenly Court after the Heavenly Court passes down the Shinto system, or be captured by a certain world and become a subsidiary world, or be targeted by a major force and start a cross-border war to become the back garden of one force.

This is the fate of most worlds, and very few worlds are exceptions."

“But the Twilight Realm is different. When the Twilight Realm was first discovered, the size of the thousands of worlds within it attracted an ancient sect from the Zhu Ming Universe, which even sent three living True Immortals to descend on the Twilight Realm in an attempt to conquer it.

But for some unknown reason, the three living immortals suddenly chose to leave, and the ancient Taoist school also gave up the plan to conquer the Twilight Realm.

Our Luobao Chamber of Commerce received this news and dispatched the Void Immortal Boat to the Twilight Realm. We traded with a major force in the Twilight Realm and received a copy of the Nightmare Prayer Divine Power and several other rare treasures."

"The appearance of the Earthly Demonic Power caused quite a stir. Many people in the Chamber of Commerce realized the value of the Twilight Realm. After learning about this, President Zhao came out of retreat and personally led the Void Immortal Boat to the Twilight Realm to establish trade relations with various forces in the Twilight Realm."

Shen Yuan's expression moved slightly. Luobao Chamber of Commerce has three vice presidents. Except for Zhenjun Caiyuan, all of them have entered the realm of Daojun, but none of them has the surname Zhao.

The President Zhao mentioned by Deacon Qian can only be the president of the Luobao Chamber of Commerce, the Immortal Jin Yu who has ascended to the fairyland.

If it only relied on a True Immortal President, Luobao Chamber of Commerce would have no right to be famous in the world.

The real reason behind this is that this Jin Yu Zhenxian named Zhao is related by blood to the God of Wealth in Heaven.

Relying on this connection, countless sects in the lower world have to give Jin Yu Zhenxian some face.

Immortal Jin Yu went to Xuan Huang Realm to establish diplomatic relations with various forces as soon as possible, which made Shen Yuan have a bad premonition.

With a bit of surprise on his face, Shen Yuan asked Deacon Qian:

“President Zhao is a living immortal, yet he actually came to the Twilight Realm in person.

I wonder what kind of deal President Zhao has reached with the various forces in the Twilight Realm?"

Deacon Qian's expression froze and he looked around subconsciously.

There was a hint of regret on his face, and Deacon Qian felt a little flustered.

The affairs of the Twilight Realm are not a secret, but because this world has just been incorporated into the map of the heavens, not many people mention it. Even if outsiders knew about it now, it would be difficult to find the coordinates of the Twilight Realm.

But the situation is different when it comes to Chairman Zhao.

Originally, information related to President Zhao had to be kept strictly confidential within the Luobao Chamber of Commerce, not to mention that Shen Yuan in front of him was an outsider.

If I don't continue talking now, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the popular Taoist Luo Yun.

But if he continued to explain, it would involve a leak within the Luobao Chamber of Commerce, which put Deacon Qian in a dilemma.

Just as Deacon Qian expected, Shen Yuan's gentle smile disappeared immediately, replaced by a hint of coldness.

“If this matter involves some confidential information, Deacon Qian would not have said it from the beginning, and I would not have deliberately made things difficult for Deacon Qian.

But now Deacon Qian only said half of his words, is he teasing Shen?"

These words immediately startled Deacon Qian, and he quickly said:

"That is not what I meant!"

"What does that mean?"

“This. This.”

Deacon Qian hesitated for a while, but finally made a decision with gritted teeth.

Anyway, the matter has been leaked, and there seems to be no difference between leaking half of it and leaking the whole thing.

"In fact, the matter concerning President Zhao is confidential in the Luobao Chamber of Commerce. If you know about it, please do not spread it."

Shen Yuan's expression eased, and he nodded slightly, saying, "I know that."

“After President Zhao led the Void Immortal Boat to the Twilight Realm for the second time, he reached an agreement with the Twilight Realm’s largest power, the Wanmu Palace, to have the Luobao Chamber of Commerce help sell some of the Twilight Realm’s unique natural treasures to other realms.

In order to reach this agreement, Wanmu Palace took out many rare treasures. "

"Sold to various realms?" Shen Yuan's eyes showed some seriousness.

“Normal cross-border trade transactions should be aimed at maximizing profits. Only by selling specific natural treasures to resource-scarce worlds can profits be maximized.

If we do not consider the characteristics of natural materials and treasures and sell them to all worlds, it is very likely to lead to reduced profits, or even losses due to cross-border trade losses. Why would the Twilight Realm do this?"

“In fact, President Zhao also had doubts at the beginning, but the Wanmu Palace claimed that the purpose of selling the natural materials and treasures of the Dusk Realm to other realms was to open up the market.

They have full confidence in the special products of the Dusk Realm. As long as the number of users increases, the Dusk Realm, as a seller's market, will be able to easily reap huge profits."

Having said that, Deacon Qian couldn't help but reveal a somewhat arrogant smile.

“It’s not surprising that the Twilight Realm has such thoughts. These self-contained worlds have a mysterious arrogance, and believe that the treasures in their worlds should also be extremely valuable in other worlds.

But the reality is that, unless it is a special great thousand world, all the natural treasures of the middle thousand and small thousand worlds can be replaced in other worlds. No world under the heavens is special.

Sooner or later, after spending a huge amount of spiritual stones and immortal jade, Wanmu Palace will face reality and become an inconspicuous middle thousand worlds among the heavens. "

There is nothing wrong with the logic of Deacon Qian's words, but they do not apply to the Twilight Realm.

Shen Yuan, who had fought against the Dusk Realm ten thousand years later, knew very well how terrifying this middle thousand world was.

Controlling the Humane Dynasty, stealing the incense and fire domain, and almost subverting the entire Xuanhuang Realm, the depth of the Dusk Realm's heritage is simply unimaginable.

The Dusk Realm cannot be doing useless work, those so-called special products and treasures from heaven and earth must be problematic!

With this thought in mind, Shen Yuan said to Deacon Qian, "I am very interested in the methods of practicing the Earthly Demonic Powers of the Luobao Chamber of Commerce, as well as the natural treasures of the Twilight Realm. I wonder if Deacon Qian can help me solve this problem?"

Deacon Qian did not respond immediately after hearing this, and there was some hesitation in his expression.

"The Treasure Fall does have a stockpile of the Dusk Realm's natural treasures, but these are intended to be sold to the Ancient Dust Realm."

Shen Yuan smiled calmly.

"I don't have many spiritual stones and jades on me."

Deacon Qian looked puzzled.

"When buying the goods I need, I can only pay with Qingyuan Xuanzhenqi. I wonder if your Chamber of Commerce is willing to do so?"

Deacon Qian immediately showed ecstasy on his face, and completely threw aside the ancient dust world and the rules of the Chamber of Commerce.

Qingyuan Xuanzhen Qi is the most precious treasure for enlightenment. In most cases, it is out of stock and cannot be exchanged for even a large amount of fairy jade.

For the Luobao Chamber of Commerce, the value of such a scarce item as Qingyuan Xuan Zhenqi has far exceeded its own value. Being able to obtain Qingyuan Xuan Zhenqi is definitely a great achievement.

"The method of practicing the Earthly Demonic Power and the natural treasures of the Dusk Realm are all in the trading venue. I will get them for Master Daozi right away."

"No need. Since the auction is over, I will go to the trade fair as well."

After saying that, Shen Yuan slowly stood up from the box.

On the other side, Ji Zhaoyang also temporarily broke free from the messages transmitted by the sword talismans.

For the Third Prince's Mansion, the failure of this auction of all realms was undoubtedly a huge blow, and the already unstable forces under his command would inevitably become suspicious because of this.

As the third prince, Ji Zhaoyang had to mediate, at least to unify the opinions within the faction on the surface.

Thinking of this, Ji Zhaoyang couldn't help but glance at Shen Yuan, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

No matter what the deal between him and Shen Yuan was, in the eyes of the outside world, Shen Yuan was from the third prince's lineage.

Thanks to Shen Yuan's strong suppression of Ji Xuanyi before the auction began, the Third Prince's family saved some face, so that the failure of this auction did not seem too ugly.

If Shen Yuan had not come forward, the Third Prince's faction would have completely fallen apart as soon as the auction of all realms was over.

Thinking of this, Ji Zhaoyang and Shen Yuan stood up together and said:

"I am also somewhat interested in the natural treasures of the Dusk Realm that Fellow Daoist Shen mentioned, so let's go to the trade fair together to take a look."

Deacon Qian bowed quickly, walked in front and opened the door of the box.

Just as Shen Yuan and Ji Zhaoyang walked out of the box side by side, the No. 1 box opened at the same time as if by coincidence, and most of Ji Xuanyi and his group walked out of the box.

Behind Ji Xuanyi, two cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm carefully lifted up the broken bronze tripod, fearing that they would damage the already rusty broken tripod.

Seeing Ji Zhaoyang who had just left the box, Ji Xuanyi took the initiative to greet him with a smile:

"I seem to remember that the Third Royal Brother didn't buy any treasures, but he still stayed in the box so long after the auction ended. Could it be that he got something else?"

Ji Zhaoyang's face turned pale. He knew in his heart that this seemingly coincidental meeting must have been intentional by Ji Xuanyi.

The purpose was to take this opportunity to continue to suppress him and establish the prestige of Prince Dayin.

He wanted to refute in his heart, but since he lost everything at the auction, Ji Zhaoyang couldn't find any reason to refute.

At this moment, Shen Yuan on the side moved.

He slowly took a step forward, which immediately aroused the vigilance of everyone on Ji Xuanyi's side.

"Luoyun Daozi, what do you want to do?"

"Do you still want to take action?"

Shen Yuan did not respond, but looked out the window thoughtfully.

"Master Ren Tu, should we leave now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Xuanyi's face turned pale.

At this moment, he didn't care about demonstrating to Ji Zhaoyang. Who knows if this Taoist Luo Yun would really attack again.

With a wave of his sleeves, Ji Xuanyi said in a deep voice:

"Walk!"

The prince's entourage quickly left, carrying the broken bronze tripod.

Shen Yuan looked at the broken bronze tripod that had not been put into the storage space, and a hint of doubt arose in his eyes.

Previously in the void illusion, Shen Yuan was still far away from the center of the auction venue, so he did not notice anything unusual about the broken bronze tripod.

After seeing the broken bronze tripod up close, Shen Yuan sensed a subtle sense of incongruity from this rusty broken tripod.

However, before Shen Yuan could observe carefully, everyone from the prince's faction had already left Luobao Pavilion, which made Shen Yuan quite regretful.

With the help of Shen Yuan's power, Ji Xuanyi was once again suppressed, and the gloomy look on Ji Zhaoyang's face disappeared.

The three of them left the Luobao Pavilion where the auction was taking place and came to the trading venue.

The venue building was bustling with practitioners coming and going. Deacon Qian respectfully invited the two into the reception room and then took his leave.

A moment later, Deacon Qian walked into the reception room holding two space treasure boxes.

“Inside the first treasure box is the method of practicing the twenty-four earthly evil powers that my Luobao Chamber of Commerce has been searching for in various realms.

The second treasure box contains the natural treasures that the Dusk Realm wants to sell to other realms. Please have a look, Master Daozi."

Shen Yuan was about to reach out for the first treasure box, but suddenly he felt a vague sense of being watched.

"Lord Caiyuan? Or other powerful people in Luobao Chamber of Commerce?"

With a thought in his mind, Shen Yuan suppressed the thought in his heart and reached out to take the second treasure box.

When Shen Yuan opened the treasure box, what caught his eye were the neatly arranged treasures.

These precious incenses are golden red in color, and are engraved with scrolls of the wishes of all living beings. There seems to be a rhythm of incense flowing through them, which looks quite magical.

Before Shen Yuan reached out to touch it, an inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly surged into his heart.

“Why do the patterns on these incense look familiar?”

Deacon Qian took a glance and said suddenly:

"You mean the familiarity you mentioned is because of the broken bronze tripod, right?"

Shen Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he only heard Deacon Qian's respectful explanation:

"I almost forgot to tell you before that the abandoned small world where the bronze tripod was discovered is a subsidiary world of the Twilight Realm."
