"We're both at the First Layer of the Divine Monarch Realm, so how is Master so powerful? Could it be because of the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline?"

"Master, is your cultivation base really just at the First Layer of the Divine Monarch Realm?"

After pondering this for a while, the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon couldn't help but ask.

"Divine Monarch Realm, Seventh Layer."

Ye Yun smiled, not attempting to conceal it.

In a way, the differences in cultivation layers meant little to him. Ye Yun possessed numerous treasures in his repository capable of instantly negating such disparities.

"Oh..." The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon nodded slightly.

He rolled his eyes, carefully considering the matter. Ultimately, he concluded that Master's strength wasn't just due to being at the Seventh Layer of the Divine Monarch Realm. Based on his estimations, even a powerful cultivator at the Seventh Layer of the Divine Monarch Realm would likely find it impossible to tear through the Divine Land's space as casually and effortlessly as Master had.

Throughout their journey, the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon dared not speak, merely following quietly behind Ye Yun.

In just under an hour, Ye Yun had traversed tens of billions of miles by tearing through space, finally arriving at the Third Sea Area.

At this moment, in the space outside Giant Spirit Island, a slight ripple appeared, and two figures emerged from within.

Gazing at the enormous island before him, Ye Yun nodded to himself. Giant Spirit Island was even larger than Skyreach Island. It was reputed to be the largest island in the Third Sea Area.

Among the Ten Great Sea Areas, the higher a sea area was ranked, the larger its territory and the greater its overall strength.

With a casual sweep of his gaze, Ye Yun quickly located the Wishful Auction House on Giant Spirit Island. This auction house was the largest on the island and extremely prominent.

The two descended from mid-air, landing directly before the auction house entrance.

"The auction isn't until the day after tomorrow; we might be a bit early," Ye Yun remarked with a smile.

The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon chuckled, his smile a little sinister, "Master, with your strength, who cares if there's an auction or not? You could just take what you want."

"How could we do that? One must adhere to principles. If we rely on strength to act unscrupulously and disregard all rules, wouldn't the world descend into chaos?" Ye Yun said, exasperated, lightly smacking the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon on the head.

"I was just kidding, Master. It's mainly because we're so early; I was afraid you'd get impatient waiting," the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon said, scratching his head sheepishly and smiling.

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then smiled. "Let's go. We'll head into the auction house first to understand the situation. If there's an opportunity to purchase it beforehand, we'll do so directly."

With that, he stepped inside.

From Fu Nanhua's memories, Ye Yun knew that the Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword being auctioned by the Wishful Auction House this time was of Top-Tier Heaven Level quality. It was far superior to the previous sword. It was considered of the highest grade among Heaven Level items.

As the two entered, many people inside looked up, their expressions shocked. Their gazes converged on the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon.

Ye Yun was momentarily taken aback but understood instantly. He had always concealed his aura exceptionally well, so no one could discern his cultivation base. The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon, however, was different. The cultivation level he currently displayed was unmistakably at the First Layer of the Divine Monarch Realm.

Such a cultivation base, regardless of the sea area, represented the absolute apex of power—a terrifying existence. Moreover, the faint Demonic Aura emanating from him further enhanced his fearsome presence.

An elderly man, his face etched with alarm, rushed over. Reaching them, the elder bowed deeply and said respectfully, "So, it is two distinguished guests gracing our Wishful Auction House! This old one was slow to greet you, please forgive me."

Ye Yun glanced at the elder casually. "Are you the person in charge of the auction house?"

The elder replied with a beaming smile, "You could say that. This old one is the Second Manager of the Wishful Auction House."

Ye Yun nodded and continued walking forward, the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon following closely behind him.

Seeing this, the elder's expression shifted.

So, this white-robed young man is the actual master here! And that Demon Clan youth at the First Layer of the Divine Monarch Realm, following his every step, appears to be merely a subordinate. Just who is this white-robed young man? He looks so unfamiliar; he doesn't seem to be from any of the Ten Great Sea Areas.

A flurry of thoughts crossed the elder's mind as he hastily followed.

He led Ye Yun to a quiet, private room.

After they were seated, Ye Yun got straight to the point, smiling. "We are here for the Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword."

A look of realization appeared on the Second Manager's face. He chuckled, "So, Young Master is here for the Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword. However, the auction is still more than a day away; it officially begins the day after tomorrow."

"I understand." Ye Yun nodded, looked at the elder, and asked, "Regarding the Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword, do you know its origin?"

"Young Master, as for the origin of the Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword, we are not too clear ourselves," the elder said with a smile.

"Strange. It's said there's more than one Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword in the Divine Land. Why does no one know its origin?" Ye Yun asked, his eyes glinting.

"Young Master speaks truly. The Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword, while of little practical value, is shrouded in mystery. For some reason, those who consign this sword for auction are never willing to reveal its origin. They simply hand it over to the auction house, collect their payment after the sale, and depart," the old man said, a peculiar smile on his face.

In his view, the Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword was only collected by those with peculiar tastes. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't spend a fortune auctioning for a Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword. After all, this sword is only effective when embedded in one's Dantian. During combat, it wasn't very useful.

But undeniably, some wealthy individuals enjoyed collecting such peculiar items, treating the Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword as a collectible. For instance, a few years ago, the Young Island Master of Skyreach Island in the Ninth Sea Area spent a considerable sum to acquire a Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword.

Failing to obtain any useful information from this Second Manager, a hint of disappointment showed on Ye Yun's face. Ye Yun wanted to investigate the Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword to see if it had any connection to the mastermind he was pursuing. But for now, it seemed the trail had gone cold here.

"Can I meet the person auctioning the Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword?" Ye Yun suddenly asked.

"This..." The elder hesitated.

The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon glared. "My Master merely wishes to meet the seller, not to rob them of their item! What are you hesitating for? Hurry up and arrange it!"

The powerful aura of the Divine Monarch Realm emanating from him with that glare almost made the old man collapse to the ground in fright.

"Of course, of course," the elder, having composed himself, quickly replied. "Young Master, the one consigning the Dragon Pattern Soul Chasing Sword this time is the same person as last time. Perhaps he has the information you seek. I will go invite him over immediately."

Ye Yun nodded.

The elder hastily scurried out.

"Master, these people won't understand your true capabilities unless you show them a thing or two," the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon said with a cold smirk, arms crossed.
