Chapter 867: Chapter 15: The Three Eleventh Realm Saints (Part 2)
But this is an open conspiracy!
“Even if we know there’s a plot, as long as the information is true, would anyone really not go?”
Take the inheritance of the Ghost Soul Saint for example.
All the strong who know the news will stop at nothing to go and find ways to obtain the inheritance.
A Saint, even from the ancient lands unknown to cultivators for years, is still a pinnacle of power.
The so-called conspiracy can’t stop the passionate cultivators.
“Although I’m not interested in these inheritances, I’m interested in treasures!”
Wang Sheng pondered and settled down on the continent.
While sorting out information, he also began collecting space secret treasures that could open cross-realm pathways.
The Trading Continent, its major trades come from the Rebirth Secret Realm, but there are other things too.
Many of these items are “stolen goods”, brought to the Trading Continent to be laundered.
“Just what I wanted!”
So, Wang Sheng started acting on both ends.
On one hand, pretending to be a collector, he began collecting space secret treasures.
On the other hand, he started acting in the Rebirth Secret Realm, looking for treasures related to time and space.
…
Rebirth Secret Realm, Trial Mountain.
Here nurtures the Time Flower, which has been nurturing for thousands of years, allowing Tenth Realm and below cultivators to quickly retrace the cultivation path, fill past shortfalls, and solidify their foundation.
When the news was first announced a hundred years ago, a large number of Tenth Realm experts rushed to wait, hoping to take away the treasure at the first opportunity.
Any bit of progress could make their journey into the Saint realm smoother.
And recently, it is the time for the Time Flower to mature.
Nearby Tenth Realm experts have surpassed a thousand in number, along with countless opportunists.
Once the Time Flower matures, without a doubt, a fearfully intense battle will erupt.
“This time, it looks like quite a few Great Venerables will fall. Over these tens of thousands of years in the Rebirth Secret Realm, treasures have not decreased but increased due to conflicts…”
It’s clearly a secret realm for obtaining resources, but ever since various treasures were announced, the treasures instead have grown more numerous.
“Does the allure of the Time Flower really run that deep?”
“It’s even greater than you imagine, for those who are at the end of the Tenth Realm, any bit of progress is an accumulation toward becoming a Saint, they will be crazier than you think, those who want to fish in troubled waters this time, won’t get off lightly.”
“Alas, in the past few centuries, the revealed treasures have become stronger, and more experts have fallen.”
Before maturing, due to its properties, the Time Flower formed Trial Mountain, attracting many experts to bring their juniors for cultivation.
However, they have begun to withdraw one after another now.
They have a premonition that an extremely terrifying battle will explode here.
Time passed, and the Time Flower finally matured.
Boom!
In an instant, countless rays of light erupted, obliterating everything in the vicinity in the blink of an eye.
Countless big hands reached for the Time Flower, attempting to grab it and quickly flee.
But just as they were about to succeed, they would be interrupted.
Just then, a sky-covering giant hand appeared, instantly breaking through all obstacles, grasping the Time Flower.
“How dare you!”
“Put down the Time Flower!”
In no time, most of the Tenth Realm experts attacked the giant hand.
They couldn’t just watch the Time Flower being taken.
But—
The giant hand waved casually, suppressing all the experts present.
Aura of fear spread.
But the hand’s target was just the Time Flower, and it didn’t take lives.
When the aura dissipated, some experts slowly spoke: “A Saint?”
A Saint, the realm they desperately wish to enter, appeared before them.
Not only that, they even competed with them for the Time Flower.
“What does a Saint want with the Time Flower, does it have any effect on someone of their level…”
“A Saint’s actions are not for us to fathom; this time not being killed is already a blessing in disguise.”
Upon these words, the experts present were all filled with dread.
If this Saint had been cruel, none of them might have survived.
Thinking of this, they quickly dispersed, as if nothing had happened.
In the following years, news spread that Eleventh Realm Saints intervened in battles across the Heavenly River, Crack Sky Plain, Illusion Realm… within the Rebirth Realm.
All treasures were taken from afar by Saints.
Yet no one dared to resent them.
Eleventh Realm Saints were beyond reproach.
Many even said the Saints were benevolent, never harming a soul, with some suspecting the Saints took the treasures to prevent battles over them.
After all, in recent centuries, too many experts had perished!
A Saint’s every move sparked countless speculations.
The center of these speculations was naturally Wang Sheng.
“Who would have thought taking treasures would even earn a good reputation, it’s truly amusing, the strong really do as they please.”
After making preparations, he began collecting all sorts of treasures.
All related to time and space.
Starting with the Time Flower, by the end, he had obtained a Void Stone in the span of a few years, acquiring four time treasures and six space treasures in total, with two of the space treasures being purchased space secret treasures.
The time treasures speak for themselves, and the space treasures were carefully chosen, not overlapping with previously obtained space secret treasures.
“Once I fully comprehend them, I should gain a significant boost; next, I must be more restrained, only purchasing space secret treasures…”
He had to be restrained for two reasons: First, because there seemed to be no treasures he could use being nurtured openly in the Rebirth Secret Realm for the time being, so there was no need to enter it presently.
Second, because of the three Saints of the Trading Continent.
“If it’s them, they might soon make a move on me, right?”
External rumors were indeed correct.
He deliberately did not target the Tenth and Ninth Realm cultivators fighting over treasures.
It was indeed to stop conflicts.
But not because he was a good person.
The believers’ praises of the Lifeless True Saint’s great compassion had no effect on him.
His true purpose was to provoke the mastermind behind the release of treasure information.
Releasing these details was a way to incite chaos.
By preventing conflicts, the number of deaths among experts decreased significantly in recent years; the entity behind it would surely not sit idly.
And the ones in the Trading Continent capable of such deeds.
The highest likelihood was the three Eleventh Realm Saints who founded the Trading Continent.
“The real prosperity of the Rebirth Secret Realm began 60,000 years ago, the same time the Trading Continent was established, and ever since, the number of deaths in the Rebirth Secret Realm has only increased. In these past few centuries, even more experts have died.”
“According to information from the Boundless Continent, the founders of the Trading Continent, Han Ye Saint, Qing Xiao Saint, and Mi Yin Saint, first entered the Rebirth Secret Realm 60,000 years ago. After coming out, they immediately established the Trading Continent, and have never left since…”
“Bold speculation: it’s likely they discovered something remarkable in the Rebirth Secret Realm, right?”
This was Wang Sheng’s hypothesis.
It was precisely due to this speculation that he chose to act.
He had a covetous heart for such treasures as well.
He needed to find a way to be involved.
If his guesses were correct, the three Saints were likely to approach him soon.
They might even be in discussion at this very moment.
And reality was quite in line with his predictions.
Han Ye Saint, Qing Xiao Saint, and Mi Yin Saint, the three Saints, were converging at this moment.
“Recently, the mortality rate in the Rebirth Secret Realm has dropped sharply, nearly failing to meet the minimum requirements,” Han Ye Saint spoke first.
“This matter has been investigated, it’s a foreign Saint intervened in the contests, those Tenth Realm cultivators naturally have no qualification to contest anymore, the treasures are gone, so they won’t continue fighting.” Apparently, all three Saints had noticed, and Mi Yin Saint had thoroughly investigated the matter.
Han Ye Saint furrowed his brows and said: “Why would a Saint partake in such treasure contests? And why didn’t we detect a Saint’s presence?”
At this point, Qing Xiao Saint suddenly remarked: “Isn’t it a coincidence, I just recently discovered traces of a Saint, I was about to inform you at the next meeting…”
For a moment, the atmosphere sank into silence.
The three Saints had all realized something was amiss…
