Whoosh!
The boundless world was filled with an ancient aura. The eternal silence was suddenly broken at this moment as several streaks of light streaked across the horizon. After which, they shot towards the distance at an astonishing speed.
As the ground was constantly being pushed back, the silhouette of a massive city suddenly appeared in the distance. The scale of the city was massive, and from afar, it looked like a colossal beast lying on the ground.
"We're almost there!"
Wen Qingxuan looked at the silhouette of the city in the distance and her spirits instantly trembled as she spoke out in joy.
After two days of travelling, they had finally arrived at their destination.
When Mu Chen and the rest saw this scene, they felt relieved. It wasn't an easy task to travel in the Primordial Sacred Abyss, since even Earth Sovereigns would be fearful of natural disasters. Over the past two days, they had encountered at least five natural disasters, and one of them was a destructive lightning zone that nearly caused them to suffer heavy losses.
But fortunately, they've finally arrived at their destination.
When Mu Chen and the rest gradually approached this region, they could sense that there would be a team streaking across the horizon from time to time in another direction, heading towards the dilapidated city in the distance.
In that city, Mu Chen had also sensed many powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
"Indeed, many teams have gathered at this gathering point."
Mu Chen squinted his eyes. According to his estimations, most of the teams that came to the Primordial Sacred Abyss would gather at this gathering point.
From this, it could be seen just how many dragons and snakes were mixed together in this gathering point.
"Be careful."
Looking at the city that they were getting closer to, Mu Chen reminded everyone.
Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan nodded their heads. Most of the teams that could enter the Primordial Sacred Abyss weren't easy to deal with, and the moment a conflict broke out, it would definitely be troublesome.
Everyone streaked across the horizon and, just when they were about to reach the city, they suddenly landed before the city gate. That's because, as they got closer, Mu Chen and the rest could sense an extremely powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation in the sky above the city.
The fluctuation was extremely chaotic, and if they recklessly charged in, they would probably attract a Spiritual Energy impact.
"That's a damaged Spiritual Array, and it's of a high grade. I'm afraid that it's not any weaker than the Sacred Abyss City's Spiritual Array." Ling Xi looked at the chaotic fluctuation above the city and said in shock.
Mu Chen gently nodded his head. Although the Spiritual Array was damaged, he could still sense a dangerous aura coming from it. However, he wasn't surprised, since this was one of the battlefields between the Great Thousand World and the Fiend Clans in ancient times. So it was reasonable for such a Spiritual Array to exist.
"Let's go."
At the entrance of the dilapidated city, there were teams that landed one after another and entered the city with their guards up. Mu Chen waved his hand and took the lead to enter the city.
Stepping into the city, they were greeted with a sense of dilapidation. But judging from the broken buildings, they could vaguely sense how flourishing this city was in ancient times.
There were many pagodas in the city, and it was said that pinnacle powerhouses in ancient times liked to build cultivation pagodas. Every single pagoda was equivalent to a pinnacle powerhouse.
At this moment, this dilapidated city regained some of its liveliness due to the gathering of various groups. Clamorous noises could be heard coming from all directions.
"There's a trading zone in this city, and many teams would obtain some unknown items in their exploration. Perhaps they might be treasures, or perhaps they might be useless. But overall, it's worth a look."
Wen Qingxuan had clearly gathered quite a bit of information about this gathering point. She pointed towards the depths of the city and smiled with her eyes narrowed.
When Mu Chen heard her words, his heart trembled. The Primordial Sacred Abyss was too vast, and too many pinnacle powerhouses have fallen in it. Thus, there were many treasures in it, and it was unavoidable for someone to obtain them. But they lacked the eyesight and treated them as useless. So it would be a blessing from the heavens if they could find one.
"Leave the information to us. Our Wen Clan has some sources of information, and we can give it a try. As for you guys, you can wait for us in the trading zone." Wen Qingxuan said.
"Alright."
Mu Chen briefly pondered before he nodded his head. This was the Wen Clan's source of information, and it wouldn't be good for them to follow along.
"See you later."
Wen Qingxuan waved her hand before she led Wen Ziyu and the rest towards another direction of the city. Looking at her leaving silhouette, Mu Chen turned around and led Luo Li, Ling Xi, and Long Xiang towards the trading zone.
As they passed through the broken streets, a hubbub of voices quickly rang out from the region in front of them. One could see that there were people coming and going on the ruined plaza, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
It wouldn't be much if it was outside, but in the Primordial Sacred Abyss, there was only one such location.
Evidently, this region was the trading zone that Wen Qingxuan had mentioned.
Mu Chen, Luo Li, Ling Xi and the rest exchanged glances with each other, all of them brimming with interest. Taking a step forward into the ruined public square, the plaza was littered with shattered boulders, with a few figures seated on top of the boulders. At the stalls in front of them, there were all sorts of incomprehensible items displayed here and there.
All of these items gave off an ancient aura. They were covered with mottled traces of time and they gave off an extremely ancient feeling.
Mu Chen stopped before a huge rock and swept his gaze around. There were dazzling items on it, some of which were clearly Saint Artifacts that were casually placed around. Vaguely, there were traces of Spiritual Energy fluctuations coming from them.
Mu Chen casually picked up a black longsword. There were cracks on the body of the sword and it was dim. However, the fine Spiritual Energy that was occasionally being emitted made the sword look extraordinary.
"Hehe, has this friend taken a fancy to it?
This sword is forged with Jiu You Frost Iron and Starry Sky Stone. It's indestructible, and at its peak, it's definitely a treasure that exceeds High Rank Saint Artifacts. It might even be a Peerless Saint Artifact left behind by a Heavenly Sovereign. "A grey-robed man smiled with his eyes narrowed.
In the Great Thousand World, there's a higher grade above High Rank Saint Artifacts, the so-called Peerless Saint Artifacts.
However, Peerless Saint Artifacts were too rare and powerful. Even some Heavenly Sovereigns did not possess one. According to Mu Chen's estimation, the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand should be a Peerless Saint Artifact. If it was at its peak, it might even be a top-tiered Peerless Saint Artifact.
Mu Chen smiled as he held onto the black longsword in his hand. "What's the price?"
"Extremely low, 50,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid." The grey-robed man immediately said.
Mu Chen smiled as he casually tossed the black longsword in his hand aside, before turning around and leaving with Luo Li and the rest. He did not even bother to speak a single word with that person. Perhaps that black longsword was indeed an item from the ancient times. But regardless of how powerful it was in the past, it was already broken and had been corroded by the passage of time into a useless sword.
When the grey-robed man saw that Mu Chen had left without any hesitation, he cursed and shrunk back.
Mu Chen's party travelled through the bustling market. Along the way, they had seen all sorts of ancient treasures. But they had to admit that most of them were trash.
Although there were many trash, that wasn't the entire case. At least in the previous stall, Mu Chen could sense that there were two extraordinary items. According to his estimation, those two items should belong to a Heavenly Sovereign, and that Heavenly Sovereign's cultivation wasn't low either.
Before the ruler and rod were damaged, they should be genuine Peerless Saint Artifacts.
Although Mu Chen knew that those two items weren't simple, he did not rush to purchase them. That's because there were too many people that had their eyes on them. Those fellows were all rich and overbearing, and the price of those items would reach over a hundred million in just a few minutes. Right now, Mu Chen did not have the confidence to spend that kind of money to purchase a damaged Peerless Saint Artifact.
Even if he obtained those items, he would have to exhaust a large amount of resources to repair them.
Thus, Mu Chen's party was empty-handed along the way. They did not see anything that they were satisfied with, which made them feel a little regretful.
Mu Chen swept his gaze around and realised that they were about to pass through the market. Just when he was about to bring everyone to meet up with Wen Qingxuan's group, he suddenly stopped when he passed by a huge rock.
His gaze flickered for a brief moment before he stopped his footsteps and calmly looked at the huge rock. There was also a small stall on the huge rock with several items that were emitting an ancient aura on it. The Spiritual Energy in the stall was dim.
Mu Chen's gaze swept through those items and stopped on a piece of sparkle that was covered in mud. After a brief hesitation, he picked it up and wiped the mud on it with his hand, revealing a smear of radiance.
It seemed to be a broken piece of copper, but it was polished to the point that it was glossy. On the surface of the copper, there were some ancient runes that could be vaguely seen, which showed that this item should have an origin in the ancient times.
Looking at the copper piece, Mu Chen's expression was calm, but his heart couldn't help throbbing at this moment. That's because when he passed by this stone platform, he could sense the vibrations coming from the pagoda in his body.
Especially when he held the copper piece in his hand, the vibrations from the pagoda became even more intense. If it wasn't for him forcefully suppressing it, the pagoda would have been revealed by now.
Evidently, this item was related to the Ancient Buddha Clan.
Mu Chen's gaze briefly flickered before he looked at the owner of the stall. It was a skinny middle-aged man. "What's the price?"
The middle-aged man slowly looked at Mu Chen and faintly said, "80,000,000."
Mu Chen's brows twitched. "Isn't it a little too expensive?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Friend, although I don't know what this item is, I only know that my full-powered attack was unable to harm it in the slightest. This is enough to prove that it's extraordinary. It's fortunate that I don't know how to use it. Otherwise, do you think I would take it out?"
Mu Chen was speechless. Those that could come to the Primordial Sacred Abyss weren't easy to deal with, and this man before him also had some eyesight.
Thus, Mu Chen did not speak any further. He waved his hand and a jade bottle flew towards the middle-aged man. Holding onto the copper piece, he said, "I'll buy this item."
But at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, as if it had pierced through space and grabbed onto the copper piece in Mu Chen's hand.
An indifferent voice resounded at the same time.
"I want this item."
