"You sensed a fragment of the Earth-Cleaving Staff?"
Wang Ba was slightly surprised by Yu Wuhen's words.
As far as he knew, the Earth-Cleaving Staff had already absorbed one fragment and possessed a full twenty-two Primordial Cloud Restrictions, making it a high-grade Primordial Dao Treasure. Yet now another fragment had been sensed here.
The Earth-Cleaving Staff... could it be a Supreme Primordial Dao Treasure in its complete form?
At this thought, a slight ripple stirred in Wang Ba's heart.
Although Primordial Dao Treasures could not be judged entirely by grade, even the Red Heaven Palace's treasury contained no high-grade or Supreme Primordial Dao Treasures.

His interest stirred. After asking Yu Wuhen where the Earth-Cleaving Staff fragment was, he began chatting with the Corpse-Cooking Ghost King and asked as though in passing:
"Why haven't we seen any high-grade Primordial Dao Treasures for sale here?"
"High-grade?"
The Corpse-Cooking Ghost King paused, then shook his head.

The Sea of Boundary Turmoil may be vast, but over all these years, so many cultivators have scoured it again and again that even the wild World Embryos have nearly all been opened.

But he soon changed tack.
"Of course, hidden dragons and crouching tigers abound in the Great Sea Market. Across the entire Sea of Boundary Turmoil, no other force can rival the variety of goods here. Useful or useless, common or
