The Merchant Continent.
As its name suggests, this continent revolves around commerce.
Numerous well-known auction houses exist across this land.
Although the continent is not vast, its reputation resonates throughout the Great Thousand World.
This fame stems from the countless rare treasures gathered here. Priceless artifacts from all corners of the world converge on this continent, eventually circulating through major auction houses.
The Merchant Continent's motto is simple: "As long as you possess enough Supreme Spiritual Liquid, you can buy anything you desire here."
This slogan is undeniably bold, yet it reflects the deep foundation of the Merchant Continent.
Despite its relatively small size, the continent is a chaotic melting pot, teeming with countless factions of varying influence.
Most of the auction houses are backed by formidable forces, ensuring that even Earthly Supreme powerhouses seldom dare to act recklessly here.
Thanks to its well-established rules and stable order, the Merchant Continent's reputation has only grown over the years. Treasure seekers from all over the Great Thousand World flock here, hoping to find their coveted artifacts.
And it was here that Mo Yu learned of the auctioning of the Everlasting Holy Spirit Fruit and the Undying Corpse Essence.
According to Wind Emperor, these two items were the key to his resurrection—making them of utmost importance to Mo Yu.
After all, Wind Emperor's assistance had been invaluable. Without him, Mo Yu would not have broken through to the Dou Di realm at a critical moment and slain Hun Tiandi.
Fortunately, the Merchant Continent lived up to its name, and Mo Yu successfully obtained information about the auctioning of these two crucial items.
Once he acquired them, he would head to the Skylaw Continent and make the necessary preparations to resurrect Wind Emperor.
The Merchant City, the heart of the Merchant Continent, was its grandest and most magnificent city.
This city served as the central hub of the entire continent.
When Mo Yu arrived at the city's gates, he looked up at the colossal city before him, his brows raising slightly in surprise.
The city's towering walls stretched hundreds of meters high, their obsidian surfaces gleaming with an eerie sheen.
The walls extended endlessly, vanishing into the horizon without a single corner in sight.
Massive glowing runes flickered across the surface, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations that would make any observer's heart tremble.
Above the city, enormous beams of light shot into the sky, eventually converging into a protective barrier that enveloped the entire city.
The only way to enter was through the city gates. Any attempt to descend from the sky would trigger the city's defensive formation, marking the intruder as an enemy and drawing immediate retaliation.
"Oh? Not bad. Quite the impressive formation," Mo Yu muttered, narrowing his eyes as he scrutinized the massive light array above the city.
The formation stretched ten thousand meters wide, its structure composed of countless interwoven energy lines, forming an extremely intricate spiritual array.
At that moment, Wind Emperor's voice echoed in his mind: "This is a formation set by a Spiritual Array Grandmaster. Even an Earthly Supreme powerhouse would struggle to break through it in a short time."
"Oh? A Spiritual Array Grandmaster?" Mo Yu murmured.
In the Great Thousand World, a Spiritual Array Grandmaster was a terrifying existence on par with an Earthly Supreme. This fact alone proved that Merchant City was no ordinary place.
"Let's head inside. Those two items are supposed to be auctioned today. As long as everything goes smoothly, we have an eighty to ninety percent chance of obtaining them," Mo Yu said with a smile.
The Everlasting Holy Spirit Fruit and the Undying Corpse Essence were both incredibly rare heavenly treasures. Obtaining them in an auction would undoubtedly come at a hefty price—and success was never guaranteed.
Most of the treasure seekers who came to the Merchant Continent were extraordinarily wealthy.
However, Mo Yu had previously plundered one billion Supreme Spiritual Liquid from the Blood God Clan. This wealth alone made him one of the richest individuals in the Great Thousand World.
Thus, he was quite eager for the upcoming auction. After paying the entry fee, Mo Yu stepped into the city and took in the bustling scene before him. The sheer density of people within Merchant City was overwhelming.
The streets were massive, yet they were packed with an endless flow of people. Both sides of the streets were lined with shops selling a dazzling array of treasures, each radiating powerful spiritual energy—clearly, none of these items were ordinary.
Mo Yu couldn't help but sigh in admiration. As expected of the Merchant Continent. If even its common shops held such treasures, then this place was truly extraordinary.
"Let's head straight to the auction house."
Mo Yu murmured to himself, feeling an eager anticipation for his first Great Thousand World auction.
Having made up his mind, he merged into the crowd and strode deeper into the city.
Along the way, countless shops caught his eye, their wares exuding powerful spiritual energy. However, he merely spared them a glance. As an Earthly Supreme powerhouse, very few things here could truly impress him.
An hour passed as he navigated through the labyrinthine streets. After passing several districts and rounding a street corner, Mo Yu's vision suddenly opened up. Ahead, a mountain-like structure stood tall, exuding a majestic presence.
From within, boundless spiritual energy surged forth, forming a pillar of light that shot into the sky.
An endless crowd poured into the enormous hall, its sheer scale rivaling even the largest gatherings on the Dou Qi Continent—perhaps only a grand auction personally hosted by Ya Fei could compare.
Mo Yu raised his gaze to the golden characters emblazoned on the hall's exterior:
Merchant Auction House.
"Looks like this is the place."
But just as he prepared to enter, his gaze suddenly sharpened, a flicker of surprise flashing through his eyes.
Something about the auction hall felt strange.
"This structure…"
Wind Emperor chuckled. "This is no ordinary building. This is a Divine Artifact."
"They turned a Divine Artifact into an auction house?"
Mo Yu was momentarily taken aback. No wonder the hall emanated such an unusual energy.
"Impressive."
A rare trace of admiration appeared in his eyes. With that, he strode forward and entered the grand, magnificent auction hall.
As Mo Yu stepped into the grand hall, he could clearly sense spatial ripples fluctuating around him. His vision blurred slightly before everything became sharp and clear again.
Inside the hall, the brightness was dazzling, with the floor made entirely of radiant crystal.
The place was packed with people, yet despite the crowd, the hall did not feel crowded. Instead, it remained spacious and grand.
Having lived a life of privilege for years and seen his fair share of storms, Mo Yu walked in without the awkwardness of a country bumpkin entering a city. Instead, he remained calm and composed.
Following Wind Emperor's reminder, Mo Yu casually tossed two thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid to a female attendant at a nearby counter.
Under the envious and awed gazes of onlookers, he retrieved a ticket granting him access to the highest-tier auction. Without hesitation, he crossed the hall and stepped into a portal of light.
Beyond the light gate was an arena-like venue. Compared to the outside, this space was not particularly large, capable of accommodating only a few thousand people.
However, among these thousands, every individual possessed immense strength—the weakest had reached the Fifth Grade Supreme level. Clearly, only the wealthy and powerful were allowed entry, and the auction's caliber was undoubtedly top-tier.
Mo Yu's ticket, which had cost him one thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, granted him a private room—something he was quite satisfied with. Given his current mindset, he had no interest in publicly competing over bids.
Just as Mo Yu was about to step into his private room, he suddenly sensed something. His gaze shifted to the right, where another portal of light stood. At that moment, several figures were entering through it.
As they stepped inside, Mo Yu noticed that many eyes in the vicinity turned toward them, their gazes carrying a hint of fervor.
Raising his eyes, Mo Yu saw a woman clad in a fox fur robe, her figure exceptionally voluptuous and alluring.
Her long fiery-red hair cascaded down her back, and her fair, oval-shaped face bore a charming smile capable of stirring one's heart.
Her slender waist swayed like a serpent's as she moved gracefully forward. Every step she took drew countless admiring gazes.
Beside her stood a rotund middle-aged man with a lecherous expression. His gaze frequently darted toward the snow-white flesh before him, his eyes filled with heated lust.
At this moment, the woman nestled against the plump man, forcing a smile as she rubbed her ample bosom against his arm in an act of ingratiation and flattery.
Ignoring the seductive woman, Mo Yu instead focused on the middle-aged man, his brows slightly furrowing. A sense of oppression emanated from him.
This seemingly ordinary, lustful man was actually quite powerful—he had reached the Earthly Supreme level?
"That woman belongs to the Celestial Fox Sect," Wind Emperor's voice carried a rare hint of unrest. "The Celestial Fox Sect is one of the top forces on this Merchant Continent, with considerable power. Most of the auction houses on this continent have their involvement."
"Celestial Fox Sect…"
Mo Yu murmured under his breath, paying no mind to Wind Emperor's unusual reaction. Instead, he looked toward the middle-aged man and asked, "Senior Wind Emperor, do you recognize this man?"
An Earthly Supreme expert, accompanied by someone from the Celestial Fox Sect—this person's background was likely extraordinary.
Hearing this, Wind Emperor fell silent for a moment before replying in a hoarse voice, "This man is called Yu Wang. He is an elder of Sky Profound Palace, a dominant force in the southern region of Skylaw Continent."
"Oh, the Sky Profound Palace of the southern region of Skylaw Continent…" Mo Yu's brows rose upon hearing this.
From what he knew, Skylaw Continent was one of the top ten super continents in the Great Thousand World. After the disappearance of the Ancient Heaven Palace, Skylaw Continent had fragmented into multiple regions—east, west, south, north, and central—due to its vast and boundless territory.
Despite its division, the fact that Sky Profound Palace could establish itself as a dominant force in the southern region proved its formidable strength, even surpassing the Blood God Clan.
Realizing this, Mo Yu understood why even the Celestial Fox Sect would go out of their way to flatter Yu Wang. The name of Sky Profound Palace alone was enough to command deference across the entire Merchant Continent.
"Senior Wind Emperor, what's wrong?"
It was only then that Mo Yu noticed Wind Emperor's abnormal behavior. Since Yu Wang's arrival, Wind Emperor's emotions had grown increasingly dark and somber.
After a long silence, just as Mo Yu was starting to grow impatient, Wind Emperor finally spoke in a hoarse, low voice, "This Yu Wang… he's the one who killed me. And I had an adopted daughter who was tortured to death by him after three days of… defilement."
"…Oh."
Hearing this, Mo Yu's expression darkened instantly, and a surge of hostility rose in his heart. No wonder Wind Emperor's mood had shifted so drastically upon seeing this man.
So this was the bastard who had killed Wind Emperor!
And to make matters worse, this depraved man had toyed with a defenseless girl for three days before torturing her to death—he was no better than a beast.
As Mo Yu's killing intent flared, the lecherous middle-aged man beside the seductive woman seemed to sense something. He raised his head, his lustful expression fading slightly as his gaze swept toward Mo Yu's direction, finally landing on Mo Yu himself. His brows furrowed slightly.
For some reason, he felt a trace of hostility from this silver-eyed youth.
"Mo Yu, patience is key. If you act now, you'll only invite trouble from Sky Profound Palace," Wind Emperor's urgent voice sounded in Mo Yu's mind.
Although Wind Emperor wished for nothing more than to tear Yu Wang to pieces, he knew that Mo Yu was currently outmatched. Confronting Yu Wang and Sky Profound Palace now would be unwise.
Hearing this, Mo Yu's brows furrowed slightly before he quickly suppressed his dark expression, once again restoring his calm and composed demeanor.
Wind Emperor was right. Sky Profound Palace was not to be trifled with. Given his current strength, he needed to prioritize growth first.
As for avenging Wind Emperor—there was always time. When he was strong enough, he would return to settle this debt. And if Sky Profound Palace stood in his way, he would eradicate them as well.
With this thought, Mo Yu glanced at Yu Wang once more before stepping into his private room, quietly awaiting the start of the auction.
"Lord Yu Wang, is something wrong?"
Noticing the change in the middle-aged man's demeanor, the fox-furred beauty followed his gaze toward Mo Yu's private room, her delicate face filled with confusion.
"Nothing… it just feels like I ran into an old enemy."
Yu Wang pulled the woman closer into his embrace, a sinister smirk forming on his lips. However, a cold glint flickered in his eyes.
Throughout the years, he had made countless enemies, to the point where he couldn't even remember most of them.
But one thing was certain—Mo Yu's killing intent just now was real. This silver-eyed youth was likely someone he had unwittingly provoked in the past.
With that in mind, Yu Wang took note of Mo Yu's private room number before sneering inwardly.
"So many people have wanted to kill me over the years. They could line up from the southern region of Skylaw Continent all the way to the northern region. I wonder—who exactly are you, little brat?"
A twisted smile spread across his face.
"But if I get my hands on you… I think I'll have a little fun first."
Recalling Mo Yu's strikingly handsome features, Yu Wang licked his lips, his plump face filled with perverse desire.
After all, he didn't discriminate between men and women.
