New Chapter: Center of the Storm

In the Meteorite Sea, the people from the Golden Palace had grim expressions. They had bled and survived in the Space-Time Secret Realm, only to end up helping a group of swindlers.

The death of Heavenly Grade Expert and the killing of core disciple Mo Qing are such a great injustice, especially since they themselves went out of their way to commit these crimes.

Despite their miserable state, they received no sympathy from others and were met with strange looks. People thought they were currying favor with the Tattoo Palace and that they deserved it all!

The people of the Golden Palace wished they could escape the Meteorite Sea immediately. To say they were being humiliated by being pinned to the floor would be an understatement; they were being stomped into the abyss and rubbed against.

The people from the True Tattoo Palace arrived, and the people from the Paper Saint Hall also came. Instead of comforting them, they seriously questioned them about what had happened and why they had helped that fraud gang.

Upon hearing this, the people of the Golden Palace felt as if their hearts were being boiled in oil, burning and frying, their faces trembling. What an utterly ridiculous situation!

The Meteorite Sea not only harmed them, but also a group of victims, including large merchants who had caves and shops in the black market, who were also exploited.

"The Tattoo Palace must take responsibility for this and compensate us for our losses!" A merchant was furious; his prized possession, a top-tier rare item, had been taken on credit.

Normally, they wouldn't dare to approach the people from the Tattoo Palace, but this time they'd been ripped off so badly they just couldn't take it anymore.

"What does this have to do with us!" The person in charge of investigating the scandal at the Tattoo Palace replied with a sullen face, also quite annoyed.

"Look, this is the seal of the Tattoo Palace, exclusively for your core disciples. Is that right?" A wealthy merchant, driven to desperation, produced the collateral.

His Five-Colored Strange Bamboo, his soul-nourishing lotus, his Heavenly Fiend Liquid for refining his golden body... all of them were taken away. He thought he had made a big deal.

Elder Yansheng of the Tattoo Palace's Yan Sheng changed; this was indeed an authentic tattoo seal, not a forgery.

"Has Hongdao escaped? I don't think he's worthy of being Direct Descendant Successor. There are only so many positions available, let's find someone else!" Yan Sheng said coldly.

People from the Paper Saint Hall are also here. Are they going to replace their core disciple, Mo Han? Probably not. He's a direct descendant of a powerful figure.

"Brother Yan, please calm down. Who hasn't been young? It's mainly because the villains were scheming. Hongdao was just careless for a moment. His talent, aptitude, and temperament are quite good," someone advised.

The Meteorite Sea is bustling with activity. Located at the intersection of the Pingtian Star Domain, the Golden Horn Star Domain, and the Heihai Star Region, this no-man's-land was already quite famous, and now it is even more turbulent.

A group of victims united to demand compensation for their losses, and even the Paper Saint Hall was not spared, as they also had their tokens as collateral.

In addition, Golden Palace, which was already overwhelmed and felt humiliated, was approached by people who asked if they knew the group of swindlers.

Two days later, some high-ranking officials from the Golden Palace also arrived.

Unfortunately, the scammers were very skilled and cunning, leaving no clues and disappearing without a trace after taking everything.

The only flaw was that the group of swindlers were once ambushed and had their Five-Colored Strange Bamboo stolen, which caused the fake Hongdao to have his brain split open in anger.

When the people from the Tattoo Palace investigated this place, they had mixed feelings. The person who did the dirty work had effectively killed the swindler, but was clearly no pushover either.

In particular, when Zhen Hongdao appeared in this place and learned the details, he put on a helmet made of Abyssal Black Gold that very day.

However, after investigating and investigating, they found that there was no such thing as the Golden Horn King. Even using special artifacts to assist in the deduction was of no use.

The Meteor Sea has become infamous, and the black market is booming. So many valuable items have been leaked out, and with the appearance of Super Contraband Item in the Space-Time Secret Realm, it's impossible to keep it a secret any longer.

Some of the top sects are getting restless. Even if they have their own sacred artifacts, who would complain about having too many?

Moreover, the various anomalies of the Holy Temple were too miraculous. They shook many extraordinary individuals who had experienced more than one universe and lived for more than one century, prompting them to send important figures to investigate.

Even the supreme ruler and Ancient Sage came in person, but they descended secretly and did not reveal themselves in public.

Even figures like these have come; one can imagine how tempted the other extraordinary individuals are. They wouldn't even dare to think about prohibited items, but they are incredibly envious of the new area that has appeared in the Space-Time Secret Realm.

Recently, there have been many rumors about the Eight-Colored Strange Bamboo and the True Medicine that is about to take form. It is said that they all fell from the Extraterrestrial Civilization crossed over.

For a time, the Meteorite Sea flourished like never before, teeming with life, and the black market was overflowing with people.

As a result, various Daoist temples and inns run and built by various families have also been fully booked recently.

At Five Elements Mountain, the wolverine immediately carved out a cave, thinking that the area might be heavily developed and the land value would rise accordingly.

"We are very close to the black market, in a prime location, with huge potential for appreciation." Wu Xingtian wanted to intensify his efforts to develop this training ground.

Wang Xuan warned him that if the forbidden items in the Space-Time Secret Realm were to break out and the Holy Temple were to emerge, this place might be reduced to ashes.

"Don't worry, I have inside information." Wu Xingtian was full of confidence. In the past two days, he had received a group of distinguished guests whose status was even more important than Luo Ying's.

The most powerful demon clan— the Black Peacock Clan —has a renowned female elder named Qingkong. She is a Super Peerless and tells him that chaos will not break out here.

In fact, recently, experts have noticed that some unfamiliar faces are like an abyss, impossible to understand. When they look into the eyes of such people, they see the birth and death of stars, the withering and birth of all things.

People realized that some important figures had arrived, whose Roots were unknown and whose depths were unfathomable.

Soon, rumors began to circulate that important figures from some of the top sects had come to this place, and some had even brought their sect's most treasured artifacts.

This caused a huge sensation, and the place became a gathering place for people from all directions!

So far, people already know that the Golden Palace, the Time Cult, the Fusion with Dao Sect, the Green Ram Palace, the Eternal Life Dynasty, and others have all come one after another, all of them being high-ranking and renowned super sects.

Not to mention, there are also behemoths like the Tattoo Palace and the Paper Saint Hall, which have produced legends of true saints!

"At least three prohibited items have been brought to the Meteorite Sea!" someone said confidently.

Moreover, people believe that other sects, seeing this, will likely also bring out their sacred objects; there's no reason why they wouldn't participate in dividing up this feast.

In the eyes of all factions, the confrontation at the temple deep in the frozen ground would ultimately result in mutual destruction or even total annihilation. They were waiting in ambush, ready to enter the fray at the last moment.

Wang Xuan was very honest and upright. He stayed at home and didn't even go to the black market. He even wanted to run away, but he only went into seclusion for a short while. When he came out, everything had changed.

"The Abyssal Mothership appeared in the distant starry sky and disappeared in a flash; it is a contraband item from the Black Sea Starfield."

Every day there are sensational news stories, all of them astonishing.

"It's terrifying. There's a mechanical Dragon Turtle, bigger than a star, carrying Demon Blade made of flowing Chaos Matter. It has been spotted in the neighboring star sea."

This area has become the center of a storm, with various legendary beings appearing one after another, lingering nearby, ready to enter at any moment.

"Your Great King, Brother Wu, are you sure we don't need to move further away?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Your Second King, please rest assured, everything is fine. All parties are currently discussing reopening the Space-Time Secret Realm so that disciples and followers can enter and seek opportunities."

The wolverine informed them that there was Super Peerless guard protecting them, carrying contraband to suppress the unrest, so there shouldn't be any major trouble this time.

Wang Xuan remained silent. He wanted to avoid the strange people and the contraband, but he couldn't say much to him. He could only remind him that the big shots would eventually leave the scene, and the Meteorite Sea might eventually disappear.

"Why think so much? First, we need good fortune. I got two Void-Breaking Talisman this time. I'll give you one later, and we'll go in together to seek opportunities."

Wu Xingtian explained that this was bestowed by Qingkong, the renowned Super Peerless female elder of the Black Peacock Clan. If things went wrong, she could break through the secret realm and escape immediately. As cautious as he was, he also wanted to go in this time.

Then, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Elder Qingkong said that things won't get chaotic this time. Someone has spoken up and is paying attention to this matter."

"Has the Old Patriarch of the top demon clan, the Black Peacock Clan, spoken?" Wang Xuan asked. That most powerful demon clan indeed holds a very high position in the Universe Sea of Stars and can discuss major events with various parties.

"It did indeed originate from Black Peacock Mountain, our sacred land, but its source lies in a higher realm," the wolverine transmitted telepathically, with extreme caution.

Wang Xuan's expression turned solemn. He had heard the secret; the waters of this Great Universe were truly unfathomable, and he had learned of another colossal entity lurking in the unknown.

The wolverine said, "The information comes from 'Five Tribulations Mountain.' Even the ancestor of my Black Peacock Clan, the most powerful Black Peacock in the world, once cultivated on Five Tribulations Mountain and became a guardian outside the mountain. He has a good relationship with them, so he was able to get the information in time. This time, things won't get chaotic, and we must not act rashly."

Wang Xuan asked earnestly and humbly about the origins of Five Tribulations Mountain. He had some guesses in his mind that there was probably a creature at the True Saint level guarding that place.

"No one knows its origin or where it is, except for the First Ancestor of my Peacock Clan who went there. As the name suggests, the Five Tribulations Mountain has been said to have gone through five eras. This is the fifth time it has moved into this brand new Great Universe along with the Supernatural Center."

After hearing this, Wang Xuan remained silent for a long time, needing to process it. This behemoth was probably even more powerful than the Tattoo Palace and the Paper Saint Hall, wasn't it? He hadn't even known about it before.

This shows that without reaching a certain level, one is not even qualified to understand the truth of this universe; some traditions are simply too transcendent and mysterious.

"That's a bit scary," he sighed sincerely, reminding himself and Imperial Dao Spear not to be arrogant.

The Dao Control Banner secretly revived, its ferocity instantly aroused. It had to strive to merge with this Great Universe and improve itself.

Both it and Wang Xuan are under a lot of pressure; the Supernatural Central World is so dangerous.

The top five prohibited items are: nothing, something, the deceased, Heng, and Shenzhao, each more vicious and outrageous than the last.

Now, I have learned that beyond this world, in a place unseen, there are also mountains such as the Five Tribulations Mountain.

How can one roam freely across the starry sea, transcend worldly concerns, and be unafraid of the most mysterious outsiders? Only by striving to improve oneself and achieving the Dao-imperialized as soon as possible!

"Second King, brother, let's go into the secret realm together this time," Wu Xingtian said.

"These... the people who have appeared all have impressive backgrounds. If we go and compete for these rare items, what if we accidentally hurt someone with Roots? Sigh, we are just independent cultivators." Wang Xuan was disheartened and didn't really want to go.

"What's there to be afraid of? My Black Peacock Clan has a close relationship with Five Tribulations Mountain. Our Five Elements Mountain is a branch of Five Tribulations Mountain!" The wolverine was full of pride, and then added in a low voice, "Elder Qingkong said that we should go ahead and compete for the opportunities without worrying about those messy things. He will support Luo Ying and us!"
