• Xiao Hei avoided using his Demon God Bloodline and Demonic Qi because doing so could reveal his location to the people hunting him.
• The remaining alchemists watched for a chance to seize the Verdant Root of Life, but fled when the combined destructive power became clear.

• Mu Fusheng compared the map with theirs, identified an unexplored location in the middle reaches, and asked Ye Qiubai, Hong Ying, and Mu Wan'er what they thought.

Ye Qiubai and the others fought to defend the base, and the Su Clan and Spirit Immortal Palace arrived as the attackers began to retreat.

After a rogue-cultivator attack on the Holy Talisman Sect’s base, Ye Qiubai and his companions suspected Avici Purgatory and warned that the assault might conceal a larger scheme. Three days later, they entered the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce’s information auction, hoping to learn more, while an unseen group prepared a trap at sea.

• Lin Zhinan and Su Muyou discussed the swift attack with Ye Qiubai, who said Avici Purgatory had the clearest motive, while Mu Fusheng urged everyone to watch for a broader plan.

• Within a fog bank that blocked even Heaven Immortal Realm senses, an ancestor and his allies discussed using the disturbance to lure people into a trap as they crossed the sea.
• After three days, the battle smoke cleared and the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce’s information auction began, with Ye Qiubai and his companions entering the room assigned to the Holy Talisman Sect.
• Ye Qiubai watched the auction stage through a transparent crystal wall and hoped the event would reveal details of the scheme.

The Tianjin Chamber of Commerce began its information auction, where factions could bid only by trading information about the Endless Sea. Zi Shan warned the gathered cultivators against causing trouble, and the auction opened under the shadow of the Chamber’s immense power.

• The factions prepared information to offer at the auction and used voice transmission jade pendants to keep their bids private.
• The Holy Talisman Sect’s sect master and grand elder entered their room as Zi Shan appeared onstage as the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce’s chief auctioneer.

• Sect Master Sheng submitted information on the Holy Talisman Sect’s behalf, and Zi Shan announced its five-star appraisal, astonishing the crowd.

The Holy Talisman Sect won the Sword God inheritance information with a five-star bid, prompting Ye Qiubai and his companions to suspect the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce was favoring them.

• A woman asked Qi Shadao whether he had found the man, and a powerful visitor threatened him with punishment if he failed to produce leads within thirty days.
• Qi Shadao asked about his reward, and a burly man shattered space with a punch to warn him against bargaining.
• The man with closed eyes promised Qi Shadao a reward that could help him break through the Heavenly Immortal realm, and Qi Shadao left determined to deliver results.
• The visitors discussed searching for the man themselves and decided to use Qi Shadao to stir up trouble if Avici Purgatory failed to find him.
• Qi Shadao asked Avici Purgatory’s sect master about their preparations, and the sect master said their trap was ready with the Blue Heaven and Yellow Springs Hall’s help.
• Qi Shadao said he hoped the plan would let them rule the Mid-Latitude Realm and enter a higher echelon of existence.

Ye Qiubai and the others suspected the Dragon Blood Demon Abyss auction lot was connected to an enemy plot, so the Holy Talisman Sect tested the auction with deliberately chosen information. The chapter ended after the sect submitted a five-star bid that Zi Shan appraised as more valuable than the previous offer.

• Zi Shan announced that the Dragon Blood Demon Abyss contained another world and opened bidding for its information.
• Ye Qiubai, Mu Fusheng, Hong Ying, and Ning Chenxin suspected the lot had been chosen as a possible ambush site and asked Sect Master Sheng to test the bidding.

• Sect Master Sheng submitted four-star information for the Holy Talisman Sect, but Ye Qiubai remained suspicious and asked him to offer information worth five stars.
• Zi Shan appraised the Holy Talisman Sect's new information as five-star value, worth more than the previous offer.

Ye Qiubai and his companions suspected the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce was working with Avici Purgatory to lure them toward a trap, while the auction’s final lot revealed clues about the High-Latitude Realm and the Kunlun Ruins. Xiao Hei recognized the Kunlun Ruins as the hiding place of his next soul fragment, and the factions began bidding fiercely for the incomplete information.

• Lin Zhinan reported that another five-star information offering was not particularly valuable, strengthening Ye Qiubai and his companions’ suspicions about the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce.
• Zi Shan revealed that the final lot was incomplete information containing clues about the Twilight of the Gods, the Kunlun Ruins, and the High-Latitude Realm.
• Shi Gongcheng and the Four Symbols Sect’s sect master declared that they had to obtain the information, while Zhang Guan wondered whether the clues were connected to abnormalities in the Endless Sea.
• Xiao Hei told Ye Qiubai and the others that his next soul fragment was hidden in the Kunlun Ruins, and they agreed to try to obtain the clues.
• The bidding began with five-star information as factions and rogue cultivators raised their jade pendants, while the major factions in the upper rooms waited to compete.

The top powers competed to offer high-value five-star information at an auction for information about the High-Latitude Realm. The Su Clan briefly took the lead with nine valuable pieces, but the Holy Talisman Sect surpassed them with eleven, leaving Huan Shun and the other bidders stunned.

• Zi Shan announced that the Four Symbols Sect had bid four pieces of five-star information, surpassing the earlier bidder.
• The Xuanyuan Radiance Sect bid five pieces, and the Su Clan then offered nine pieces of high-value five-star information.
• The Spirit Immortal Palace matched the Su Clan’s nine pieces, but Zi Shan judged one of its pieces ordinary in value, leaving the Su Clan in the lead.
• Huan Shun praised Su Muyou for having the Su Clan gather information early, but Su Muyou warned him that the Holy Talisman Sect had not yet bid.
• The Holy Talisman Sect bid eleven pieces of information, all high-value five-star, and Huan Shun sat down in shock.

The Holy Talisman Sect won a fragment containing a clue to the High-Latitude Realm, while Ye Qiubai’s group continued to suspect the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce had ties to Avici Purgatory. After Zi Shan delivered the auction winnings, Shi Sheng’s awkward attempt to speak with her ended with Ye Qiubai covering his mouth and getting caught pushing him forward.

• The Holy Talisman Sect offered eleven pieces of high-value information to win the fragment containing a clue to the High-Latitude Realm.
• The Xuanyuan Radiance Sect, the Four Symbols Sect, and other factions tried to negotiate with Sect Master Sheng for access to the clue, but their offers did not persuade him.
• Ye Qiubai’s group met Lin Zhinan and Su Muyou and remained suspicious that the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce was connected to Avici Purgatory.
• Zi Shan delivered the auction information to Sect Master Sheng and asked about the young people accompanying him.
• Ye Qiubai’s group pushed Shi Sheng toward Zi Shan, but Shi Sheng asked whether the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce cooperated with factions, and Ye Qiubai covered his mouth.
• After Zi Shan left, Hong Ying revealed that Ye Qiubai had pushed Shi Sheng, leaving Ye Qiubai caught in the act.
