Dry Thunder Continent, Eight Directions Mountain Range.
Within a picturesque estate alive with birdsong and blooming flowers, Li Mengyun sat in a cyan stone pavilion with a tall Blue-Shirted Youth, drinking tea and chatting. Chen Qi was reporting to them.
"I never expected so many major events to occur while I was in seclusion."
The Blue-Shirted Youth spoke with a frown.
Shangguan Lang, an Early Mahayana cultivator and deputy master of Eight Directions Pavilion.
"The Ink Qilin and the Green-Eyed Cold Silkworm have turned more than a dozen surrounding realms upside down. Now even Mahayana cultivators dare not travel alone, especially merchant caravans from major factions."
Li Mengyun said.
Shangguan Lang nodded and asked, "Has the Pavilion Master not emerged from seclusion yet?"
"The Pavilion Master emerged long ago. The Ten Thousand Seas Merchant Alliance is holding a large Auction in the Celestial Authority Realm. I heard that fragments of a Heavenly Treasure are being sold, so the Pavilion Master personally rushed to the Celestial Authority Realm."
Li Mengyun explained.
"Fragments of a Heavenly Treasure? It would be nice if an actual Heavenly Treasure were being sold."
Shangguan Lang said wistfully.
"What are you thinking? A Heavenly Treasure could never be put up for sale. They are far too difficult to refine, and the materials needed to refine them are hard to find. I heard that a fellow Daoist obtained a Heavenly Treasure in the Fallen Immortal Cave Heaven, though I do not know whether it is true."
Li Mengyun's face was full of curiosity.
"It should be true. Many Mahayana cultivators died in the Fallen Immortal Cave Heaven, including Mahayana cultivators from True Spirit Clans and super clans. It would not be strange at all for the Fallen Immortal Cave Heaven to contain a Heavenly Treasure."
Shangguan Lang said.
