Auction Preparations

"Let's put the issue of the Pollen System in future generations aside for now!" Zhou Tong took out another piece of Immortal Metal.

It was the size of a palm, yet weighed tens of thousands of kilograms of azure Immortal Metal.

This is Feathered Green Gold, which should be a fragment of a former Imperial Weapon. The Dao Pattern imprinted on it by the Great Emperor have been worn away by time, and then this Holy Lord found it and collected it.

Now it has fallen into Zhou Tong's hands.

"Speaking of which, the Big Dipper is the place where the most Emperor Battle take place, and it also has the largest number of Big Dipper Imperial Weapon fragments. I hope I can get more Immortal Metal this time!"

"Let's fuse another Immortal Metal Planting Method!" Zhou Tong threw the palm-sized piece of Feathered Green Gold directly at the Vajra Ring.

"Buzz!"

The moment the Feathered Green Gold approached the Vajra Ring, a ripple instantly transformed it into a cloud of azure Feathered Green Gold, which was then refined into the Vajra Ring's interior.

The original three colors of red, blue and black, the Vajra Ring, has now transformed into four colors: red, blue, black and cyan.

"Not bad!" Zhou Tong nodded and put away the Vajra Ring.

"Next is something similar to the Mysterious Jade Platform, capable of targeted teleportation of treasures!" Zhou Tong thought to himself. "One will be the primary one, under my control; the others will be secondary, given to those holy lands..."

He is now definitely on the kill list of all the holy sites in the entire Big Dipper.

If you want to auction off their Holy Lord, you absolutely cannot do it face-to-face. Otherwise, those Holy Lands will spare no effort to revive the Imperial Weapon, and then it will be game over.

Zhou Tong sat cross-legged in the Void the Great, constantly calculating and comprehending, and using the Nine Secrets: Zu to deduce.

The Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings unfolded, Bodhi Tree emitted wisps of Pure Qi, clearing his mind. The Array Patterns patterns he had extracted from the souls of the Holy Land Holy Lord were also continuously deconstructed and deciphered by Zhou Tong using the Nine Secrets: Zu Secret Technique. He absorbed their essence, gradually expanding the depth of his Nine Secrets: Zu cultivation.

Half a month later, Zhou Tong finally designed the Array Patterns that could achieve the desired effect. He immediately took out a large batch of materials and quickly began to refine them.

"Bear!"

Near the Sun Emperor, the True Sun Fire was fierce. The materials were quickly melted under the burning of the True Sun Fire, and Zhou Tong engraved Dao Pattern on them in a certain order, rearranged them, and finally fused them together.

Soon, Zhou Tong quickly crafted dozens of altar-like objects.

Among these altars, the largest one was the main altar, designed by Zhou Tong and under his control. To forge this altar and increase its power, Zhou Tong even fused in a piece of Dragon Pattern Black Gold the size of a fingernail.

"The main functions have been completed; now it's time to implement some protective measures!"

Zhou Tong moved quickly, rapidly inscribing Dao Pattern on each altar, the incredibly complex Dao Pattern gradually merging into these altars.

Since the Jade Pool incident, the entire Big Dipper cultivation world has been silent, like a stagnant pool.

Hundreds of powerful figures launched an attack at the Jade Pool Gathering, forcing Zhou Tong, Ye Fan, and the others out of Jade Pool and then pursuing them; to this day, there has been no trace of those hundreds of powerful figures.

Even when they brought in celestial masters specializing in divination, they could only obtain information that the powerful beings were still alive, but they couldn't deduce anything further. Several celestial masters even sacrificed their lifespans to calculate Zhou Tong's fate, but to no avail, and the old master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was even Heavenly Punishment for it.

This terrifying and serious situation has caused fear throughout the entire Big Dipper cultivation community.

Those once arrogant disciples of the holy lands have now all retreated into their own sects; those elders and powerful figures who used to be high and mighty are now all keeping a low profile.

There's no other way. These holy lands are already mortal enemies of Zhou Tong. Even the old master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion can't figure out Zhou Tong's whereabouts. Who wouldn't be afraid of him launching a surprise attack?

In the Eastern Wasteland, in the Northern Region, in a small tavern.

"We ordinary people are truly happy today!"

"Haha, Zhou Tong has made those holy lands so fearful that they no longer dare to bully us rogue cultivators!"

"Hehe, so many Saint Lord Great Power were wiped out by Zhou Tong in one fell swoop. The entire cultivation world seems to have been cleansed, its filth washed away, and the world is now clear and bright!"

Several low-level rogue cultivators gathered in the tavern, chatting casually with obvious delight.

"What are you guys shouting about?!" Suddenly, a few young men at another table slammed their hands on the table and glanced at the group of rogue cultivators.

"What's it to you? We're just chatting." Another rogue cultivator looked over.

"Get lost, don't disturb our drinking." The young men glanced contemptuously at the rogue cultivators.

"Who are you, daring to be so arrogant?" The rogue cultivators all stood up.

"Hmph!" One of the young men stepped forward and casually waved his hand. Instantly, a terrifying divine light burst forth with raging flames, and the rogue cultivators all coughed up blood and retreated.

"Crimson Flame Sacred Art! You are from the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family!" The rogue cultivators stared at the young men in shock.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings, daring to speak ill of the Holy Land here! They must have a death wish!" Several young people from the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family sneered.

"Cousin, it's a waste to keep these good-for-nothings around. Let's kill them!" another young man said coldly.

The young man in the lead nodded slightly and raised his hand amidst the fearful gazes of the rogue cultivators.

"Oh? Are the people from the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family here?"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the tavern.

Senior Brother Qian frowned and looked towards the door. "Who is it?"

"What? It's only been a few months, and your Jiang Family doesn't recognize me anymore?" Zhou Tong walked in calmly from outside the door, looking at the young people from the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family.

"You... you are... Zhou Tong!!"

Upon seeing Zhou Tong's face, the young people of the Jiang Family were immediately shocked, and their hands and feet went cold.

"So you still recognize me!" Zhou Tong chuckled.

"How did you get here! Where is my Jiang Family Patriarch? If you know what's good for you, release him right now!" The Jiang Family members were all bark and no bite.

"Using a trembling voice to threaten someone has no Intimidation whatsoever!" Zhou Tong said softly. "Let me teach you how to truly threaten someone!"

"Puff!!"

One of the young men from the Jiang Family coughed up blood and flew backward, landing on the ground, his fate unknown.

"You..." The group was shocked.

"Don't worry, I'm not some kind of demon. He's not dead, and I have no intention of taking your lives today!" Zhou Tong said leisurely. "I just need you to pass on a message to the person in charge of the Jiang Family now."

"Three days from now, I will be holding an unprecedented auction. Participating in the auction is very simple; just activate this Mysterious Jade Platform at noon three days from now. As for the auction items, they are all here!" Zhou Tong waved his arm, and a Mysterious Jade Platform appeared in the tavern.

At the same time, he casually tossed a piece of paper, which floated out lightly. The young man in the lead instinctively caught the paper and immediately saw the names on the front— the Jiang Family Patriarch, the Ji Family Holy Lord, the Yaoguang Holy Lord ...
