Chapter 382 A great harvest!
It's no wonder that the main hall where the auctioned spiritual items were placed was not guarded by any warriors from the ancient city of Tu Shang.

The guardian beast spirit barrier was indeed a peak sixth-order spirit barrier.

Unless a seventh-tier expert comes and shatters it with a single slap.

Otherwise, even if several peak sixth-order beings joined forces, they wouldn't be able to break through this spiritual barrier in a short time, let alone do so silently.

This spirit enclosure has been passed down for a long time, and for tens of thousands of years, not a single spirit object has been missing from within it.

Seeing the collected spiritual items swallowed by the Enlightened Beast, Xuanbin turned and left as usual.

Although there were no martial artists stationed inside or outside the main hall, there were business guild managers and stewards coming and going.

As for how to retrieve the spirit items that were put in, a sixth-order being will use witchcraft to open the gate during the auction.

Occasionally, sixth-order beings would come to inspect it.

In just over a month, Shan Xuanbin has already collected seven spiritual items, five of which are of the fifth rank and two of which are of the fourth rank and of superior quality.

Therefore, he came seven times and watched the operation of the Enlightened Beast Spirit Restriction seven times.

Such a powerful spiritual restriction also caused Shen Can great suffering.

He had no choice but to return to the Blazing Flame Clan and 'kill' the thousands of Scorpion Spirits still imprisoned within the clan.

Incidentally, I also tried out the Kunpeng Secret Technique, which I had just comprehended, and made a round trip from Tu Shang Ancient City to Ju Yue Mountain Range, which took a total of fifteen days.

Having traveled a long and dusty journey back to the ancient city of Tushang, they were just like many other creatures that had come to participate in the auction, completely unremarkable.

Upon entering the ancient city of Tushang, as you pass through a cluster of palaces, various creatures sway gracefully among them.

Besides these places to rest and have fun, there are also places similar to Bo Le Land.

As Shen Can passed by, a creature covered in arms, holding various objects in its arms, waved at him.

"Hey bro, wanna play a few rounds?"

These people have been living here for many years, and when they see Shen Can's hurried appearance, they know that he has just come from outside the ancient city of Tu Shang.

Such people either have Originium or spiritual items in their pockets.

Shen Can was taken aback when he was greeted; he hadn't expected that there were such monstrous creatures in the Great Wilderness.

They're so direct even in broad daylight.

Shen Can waved his hand, firmly refusing.

"No, I have it myself."

In the tribe, he always played with dolls, but he never expected that outside the village, people would want to play with his toys.

The Great Wilderness is still too complicated.

The creatures that didn't greet Shen Can didn't mind and continued to greet the next creature that came to play.

……

After finding an ordinary food court, Shen Can prepared to rest and inquire about some information.

"Do you know about sunflowers? They're sacred objects of the fire element. I heard there's a sunflower seed at this auction."

"What's the use of seeds? This kind of sacred object needs to be cultivated in a specific sacred place. Can you draw heavenly fire every day?"

"Besides, it's unknown how long it will take for a sacred plant to grow; the Clan Extinction Flower might not even bloom by then."

"I heard there's also a dragon-elephant cub this time, a creature born from the union of a true dragon and an ancient blue-scaled elephant. You know, the dragon race's powerful abilities are truly enviable."

"The Holy Hou Clan hasn't captured the Skyfire Sparrow and the Dragon yet. The auction starts in a little over two months, and I guess it will take another month before they can capture them."

"I guess it will be at most half a month, which is long enough. No matter how good the Skyfire Sparrow can fly or how good the Dragon can run, this time they are facing the Holy Race."

"There are no stakes, what's the point of guessing? We'll definitely catch them before the auction anyway."

……

Without exception, all the creatures of various races exchanging ideas within the food pavilion were pessimistic about the fate of the Skyfire Sparrow and the Dragon.

It was only a matter of time before he was caught.

Upon hearing about the auction items, Shen Can realized that this was Tu Shang Ancient City, and they were warming up for the auction.

In the ancient city of Tushang, inanimate and living items were stored in two separate collection areas.

He had already found out about this.

Shen Can didn't even glance at the living creatures; his target was the pile of spiritual objects.

He won't wait until the auction to make a move; he will definitely make his move within a month.

According to Xuanbin's memory, all spiritual items placed in the storage hall, apart from routine checks, would only be opened when the auction began.

Taking action within a month was quite a challenge for Shen Can.

The main hall is guarded by the enlightened beast spirit, and contains countless streams of witchcraft. The ways in which these witchcraft flows are too numerous to count, making it much more difficult to break than the spirit seal that previously imprisoned the sixth-tier beast king.

Not to mention, the Enlightened Beast Spirit Restriction was not the work of the Great Shaman of Tu Shang Ancient City, but an ancient restriction that existed before the Shan Hai Calendar.

Any spirit restriction that can evolve into a beast form is not far from the seventh rank.

The seventh-order spirit barrier will manifest as a living being, possessing sentience and existing like a spirit of an artifact.

The Enlightened Beast Spirit Restriction within the ancient city of Tu Shang has taken on the form of a beast. Although it appears dull and lifeless, it possesses an unusual quality approaching that of a seventh-tier spirit restriction.

Therefore, it is rumored within the ancient city of Tu Shang that this spirit barrier was originally a seventh-order spirit barrier, but it was severely damaged and thus fell in rank.

Shen Can felt that the rumor made a lot of sense, but he still planned to try to break the Enlightened Beast Spirit Restriction and take away a batch of resources from the Tu Shang Ancient City.

With these resources, aside from anything else, it would be enough to allow the Human Alliance to have dozens more Tier 5 members, enabling those who have already advanced to Tier 5 to advance even faster.

Unfortunately, the great treasury of the ancient city of Tushang is hidden inside the Tushang Pagoda, and it is currently inaccessible.

……

The many creatures in the food pavilion were all wrong. Only seven days later, the Heavenly Fire Sparrow was captured by the Holy Hou Clan.

The blue light formed by the warriors of the Holy Hou clan converged and illuminated the sky wherever it passed.

The combined blood energy of the enormous beasts surged into a vast ocean, dragging the Heavenly Firebird with long chains, and they circled back through the territory of the ancient city of Tu Shang.

The Firebird, captured again, had blood on its crimson crown, its wings drooping, its feet bound by chains, and its body rolled upside down as it was dragged back.

However, a rage flickered in his crimson eyes.

Even though it was a sixth-tier beast king with most of its feathers broken and covered in wounds, it still retained its arrogance.

The Holy Hou Clan's commotion was so great that even Shen Can, who was taking a short rest after his divination, was alerted.

As Shen Can watched a streak of blue light streak across the sky, followed by a Heavenly Fire Sparrow burning with raging crimson flames, his eyes lit up.

He discovered that the spirit restraints binding the Skyfire Sparrow and the spirit restraints binding the Dragon Beast King in the Slave City were the same.

After the Holy Hou Clan swaggered around the ancient city of Tu Shang, they placed the Heavenly Fire Sparrow back in the original square.

This once again attracted a large crowd.

After settling the Skyfire Sparrow, Silver Moon dismissed many of her clansmen and flew towards the direction of the Tu Shang Tower.

Her aura fluctuated, and there seemed to be some scars under her silvery fur, but overall she appeared to be unharmed.

Recapture the Skyfire Sparrow this time was not as easy as expected.

Along the way, she went through a great battle, and some people wanted her to follow in the footsteps of her father and the clan elders.

Unfortunately, this time the visitor's attempt to steal a chicken backfired.

Thinking that they could inflict another heavy loss on the Holy Hou Clan by using the matter of the two sixth-tier beast kings, they were destined to disappoint them. The main hall at the highest point of the Tu Shang Tower.

When Yin Yue entered the main hall, only the Great Elder of the Yan Huo Clan was present.

"It's good that we caught the Skyfire Sparrow."

The Fire-Slaying Clan's Grand Elder spoke very gently, "If you're tired, you can arrange for someone else to handle the auction."

"It is the duty of my Holy Hou clan, and we will not shirk it. As for the other dragon beast king, we will capture it soon."

"That beast king isn't in a hurry; it's just a matter of time."

The Fire-Slaying Clan's Grand Elder examined Silver Moon. "Are you injured?"

"It's nothing, just a minor injury. I ran into an accident on my way to capture the Skyfire Sparrow. Someone ambushed me and I managed to seriously injure them."

"Who dares to be so audacious as to launch a sneak attack on my Tu Shang Ancient City?"

The Fire-Slaying Clan's Grand Elder roared angrily, "This time, it really wasn't the Fire-Slaying Clan who did it."

Of course, the Holy Hou Clan Chief, along with the other two injured and one dead sixth-tier warriors, were all killed by his Yanhuo Clan.

In particular, the wounds on the Holy Hou clan leader's body are beyond any hope of healing.

The arrow that struck him was so powerful that even a seventh-level ancestor of the Holy Hou clan couldn't heal it.

As one of the five great holy clans of Tu Shang Ancient City, the oldest seventh-tier holy clan is not just a holy clan. Its heritage is ancient and profound, but many things have been deliberately erased by the passage of time.

The succession of the holy races behind the business alliance occurs every so often, following the natural cycle of sunrise and sunset, and the growth and decay of all things.

If the plants that should wither don't, how can new spiritual plants grow?
After completing this series of actions, the Fire-Slaying Clan stopped making moves. As for the Holy Hou Clan's share being squeezed in the Chamber of Commerce, the Fire-Slaying Clan didn't even need to lift a finger; the other three clans went straight for it.

The fact that two sixth-tier beast kings were suddenly released has led the Great Elder of the Yanhuo Clan to suspect that it was the work of other clans.

That's the right thing to do; it fits perfectly into the Fire-Hating Clan's plan.

Anyway, the Fire-Hating Clan, who initiated the battle, is not planning to make any more moves and will wait for the other three clans to join the battle.

"Who knows who it was that was struck by the flames of the Azure Sun Divine Power? They must be searching everywhere for cold air to heal their wounds by now."

After Yin Yue spoke, her divine sense was fixed on the Great Elder of the Yanhuo Clan.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see the slightest change in the expression of the Fire-Slaying Clan's Grand Elder.

This was the first successful counterattack since the clan's late-stage sixth-tier warriors were attacked.

Before this, even with the ancient artifacts passed down within the clan, they still couldn't stop the sneak attack.

On her way back, Yin Yue wondered whether it was because she was well-prepared or because the attackers were not strong enough.
Silver Moon didn't stay in the Tower of the Merchants for long before returning to the Holy Hou Clan.

"Father."

Deep within the Holy Hou tribe, Silver Moon gazed at the enormous figure with wounds that refused to heal, and lowered her head to rub it.

"You're back. It's good that you're alright."

"Thanks to the ancestral artifact, which was blessed by our ancestor, it's a pity that the attacker also had an ancient artifact, which allowed him to escape."

When Yin Yue spoke of this incident, a murderous glint appeared in her lantern-blue eyes.

After suppressing her murderous intent, she asked, "Father, how is the Silver Queen's comprehension of the formation? Has she woken up yet?"

The array formation inherited by the Silver Queen, combined with the soul-searching of Pu Clan warriors, was found to be of immense value after joint research within the clan.

This is a lineage that promises to create seventh-order formations through combination techniques.

If this formation had been discovered a thousand years earlier, the Holy Hou Clan might already be building their own seventh-order formation.

Although it may be a bit late to discover it now, it cannot be denied that this is an extremely high level of inheritance.

As long as our ancestor doesn't take action, he can still survive for another thousand years.

In other words, this formation still has a chance to be effective against the Holy Hou Clan.

In particular, the person who led the human race to build the sixth-order formation must be captured.

"Not yet. It's normal for such a profound array formation to have been buried for hundreds of years."

“But we don’t have that much time to wait. These guys are pressing us relentlessly. In order to force our clan out of Tu Shang Ancient City, they even released two sixth-tier beast kings.”

Yinyue asked anxiously, "Father, have you arranged who will capture the human slaves?"

If it weren't for the escape of the sixth-tier beast king, the Holy Hou clan had originally planned to secretly withdraw a portion of their forces to the Giant Mountain Range.

However, after this incident, facing the joint pressure from the other four clans and the escape of the Beast King that affected the ancient city of Tu Shang, the Holy Hou clan had to take action.

In order to capture the Skyfire Sparrow, Silvermoon had to mobilize several sixth-tier followers.

It wasn't that she couldn't catch the Skyfire Sparrow with her clan soldiers, but rather that she brought several sixth-tier followers to protect her own safety.

Within the same clan, in times of crisis, they can unleash even greater combat power by drawing upon their shared bloodline.

Besides a few fellow sixth-tier warriors, four hidden sixth-tier warriors from the Holy Hou clan also secretly followed behind.

These four sixth-tier martial artists had never had any connection with the Holy Hou Clan, and in the past they only operated around the ancient city of Tu Shang.

It's fair to say that this trip was protected to the maximum extent, yet it still couldn't avoid a sneak attack.

As for why they are not afraid of the seventh rank, it is because the seventh rank has an agreement that they cannot attack those below the seventh rank.

If other seventh-tier members of the Holy Races were to make a move, that would be even better. Since their ancestor's lifespan was already limited, they could go all out and wreak havoc on all sides.

Even if the ancestor valued his life, he was just trying to scare them.

But for the ancestors of the other four clans, they dared not be careless, lest they be taken away as well, which would be a great loss.

For this reason, the situation of the five great holy clans in the ancient city is currently somewhat delicate.

The other four clans are constantly squeezing the Holy Hou clan's living space, but they dare not openly oppress them too much.

Seeing the Holy Hou Clan Chief pondering, Yin Yue spoke up, saying, "Father, we can take advantage of this auction to have Yin Xun stay behind and not go to Zhangshui Dragon Kingdom, and have Yin Zhang go instead."

The four people who secretly followed me to capture the Skyfire Sparrow also went with Silver Badge.

With Silver Badge's strength approaching the late stage of the sixth rank, plus the other four, and by drawing warriors from vassal races and recruiting some local native races, it would be enough to break through the human race's sixth-rank formation.

"As long as we quickly break through the human race's great formation and capture all the humans to implant the slave mark, it will be too late even if the other races discover it."

"But if we do that, our pursuit of the Black Bird will be exposed to the other four races."

"Isn't there another seventh-tier beast?"

"Let me think about it some more."

“Father, don’t hesitate anymore. Ever since you were injured, you’ve become more and more hesitant. You’re not the same person you used to be!”

……

Two days later.

On the same day that the sixth-level elder finished inspecting the spiritual objects in the hall.

The barrier of the Enlightened Beast lit up, and Xuanbin rushed into the barrier beast.

In just two breaths, he jumped out of the barrier beast, suppressed his excitement, and strode outside.

This is huge!

The harvest was even bigger than we imagined!
