Chapter 136: Essence of the Cold Moon
Just now, the playful expressions on Niu Tian and Titan's faces vanished without a trace, quickly replaced by serious looks.
"Titan, what are your thoughts on the Star Auction Pavilion and this Endless Mustard Seed Space?"
Niu Tian lowered his voice and leaned toward Titan's ear to inquire.
His eyes vigilantly swept around, noting that every blade of grass and every tree hid a secret here.
After all, this Endless Mustard Seed Space belonged to outsiders, and no one knew if there were hidden surveillance methods in place. They needed to be extremely cautious.
Titan furrowed his brow, deep in thought.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: "If I were to judge, it could only be described in four words—unfathomable."
"This mysterious space and the powerful beings in the Star Auction Pavilion are beyond our Haotian Sect's ability to compare. Especially when I entered this space, I felt an aura that instilled deep fear in me."
As Titan spoke, his body unconsciously trembled, clearly still shaken by the aura that had left a profound impression on him.
He clearly remembered that when he first entered the Star Auction Pavilion, he felt three entirely different auras.
One of these auras was like the chaotic power of the world at its creation—vast and boundless, yet filled with an immense sense of oppression.
It made him feel as though he was facing the heavens themselves, with no thought of resistance whatsoever.
That aura even caused his soul power to stagnate, and his legs went weak, nearly causing him to lose his balance.
Now, upon entering this Endless Mustard Seed Space, he sensed the same kind of oppressive aura here.
It felt like invisible eyes were constantly watching their every move.
Wherever he went, he could feel the pressure following him like a shadow.
"Sigh, our Haotian Sect has been hidden away for so many years, and now Douluo Continent has undergone such a tremendous change."
"It seems we need to adjust the sect's development strategy. We cannot let Haotian Sect fall under our leadership; we owe it to Tang San's trust in us."
Niu Tian sighed deeply, regret and unwillingness filling his eyes.
He began to reflect on whether their decisions from years ago had been right.
Though their secluded existence had protected the sect during turbulent times, it had also disconnected them from the outside world, causing them to miss many opportunities for growth.
"Big Brother, this is not our fault. Who could have predicted that Douluo Continent would have such an unexpected force like the Star Auction Pavilion?"
"You're right. Haotian Sect really should take action now, or we'll fall behind Douluo Continent's future development."
Titan patted Niu Tian's shoulder, trying to comfort him.
But deep down, he knew that reviving Haotian Sect in the current situation would not be easy.
"Now that Tang San has lost contact, and the Star Auction Pavilion has appeared so powerfully, with constant turmoil on Douluo Continent, our primary task is to ensure Dong'er's safety."
Titan shook his head.
Dong'er, as the daughter of Tang San and Xiao Wu, was of utmost importance.
Afterward, Niu Tian and Titan stopped talking and began searching for treasures that would benefit Haotian Sect.
They worked in tacit coordination, with Niu Tian observing the properties and value of the treasures, while Titan remained alert to the surrounding movements.
They decided that in the future, they would focus on developing Haotian Sect's strength, and other matters could be put aside for now.
"Let's take the pills that can enhance soul power."
Niu Tian's eyes scanned a row of translucent pills, which emitted an alluring glow, indicating they were no ordinary items.
"These rare materials will help our Haotian Sect disciples improve their forging abilities. Let's take them."
Titan pointed to the mountain of rare ores, his eyes flashing with excitement.
These materials, if brought back to the sect, would allow them to forge many powerful weapons.
Niu Tian and Titan continued to move around the space, collecting anything that could enhance their strength without hesitation.
After all, over the years, Haotian Sect had accumulated enough wealth to support their purchase of these materials.
Their storage soul tools gradually filled up, but they still didn't stop, afraid of missing out on any treasures.
However, at this moment, in an area where Niu Tian and Titan's senses couldn't reach, one person was closely observing their every move.
In an empty space, stood a man.
This person was none other than the Soul Sky Emperor, who had been tasked by Jiang Li to guard the Endless Mustard Seed Space and prevent any unforeseen incidents.
Surrounded by mysterious black mist, the Soul Sky Emperor's gaze was cold and deep, as if he could see through everything.
With his current power, the Soul Sky Emperor's spiritual sense could cover the entire area, making every movement of everyone present detectable by him—no one could escape his perception.
He watched as Niu Tian and Titan gathered treasures, but his expression remained unchanged. Everything was as he had anticipated.
...
Meanwhile, in another area, two young women stood.
One of the girls had an ethereal, moonlit aura, wearing a purple dress that made her look like a violet blooming under the moonlight.
The other girl wore a bright red dress, exuding a passionate aura, like a flickering flame.
These two were none other than Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao from Shrek Academy.
"Senior Lexuan, have you set your sights on anything?"
Ma Xiaotao, after picking out her desired items, bounced over to Zhang Lexuan's side, her eyes fixed on a crystal emitting an icy blue aura. The crystal released a cold, ice-like aura.
The crystal shimmered under the light, glowing with an enchanting radiance, containing endless mysteries.
"Huh? What is this? It costs fifty million gold soul coins!"
Ma Xiaotao didn't check the description in detail, only noticing the prominent price and widening her eyes in shock.
After all, this item appeared small and didn't seem particularly special, yet it was priced so highly. It must have something extraordinary about it.
She couldn't wait to check the description to understand why this item was so expensive.
"This is the Essence of the Cold Moon, which is perfect for my martial soul's attributes. The main effect of the Essence of the Cold Moon is to enhance the level of the martial soul."
Zhang Lexuan explained.
When she first entered this Endless Mustard Seed Space, an inexplicable force drew her here, and that was when she discovered the Essence of the Cold Moon.
At the same time, she felt a strong desire from her martial soul for this Essence of the Cold Moon, a message transmitted through her martial soul.
If everything went as expected, consuming the Essence of the Cold Moon would definitely improve her martial soul's level.
After a moment, Zhang Lexuan decided to purchase it. Her accumulated gold soul coins, combined with a few items she could trade in, were enough to cover the fifty million gold soul coins.
She carefully took out the gold soul coins, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"No wonder Senior wants to buy it. If you use this Essence of the Cold Moon, your martial soul might evolve to its ultimate attribute!"
Ma Xiaotao asked curiously.
She knew that Zhang Lexuan's strength was very close to that of a Title Douluo, and if her martial soul evolved again, Shrek Academy would gain another top Title Douluo powerhouse.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaotao's eyes sparkled with admiration.
