Chapter 131: The Curiosity of the Willow God
Lei Yao and Ling Yun listened to Jiang Li's words, then respectfully nodded. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel very curious about this mysterious newcomer.
The momentum he had shown when he appeared earlier was simply too overwhelming.
Fortunately, the Pavilion Master acted in time; otherwise, the two of them would have been severely injured.
The Soul Heaven Emperor didn't dare defy Jiang Li's command and could only follow Ling Yun and Lei Yao as they familiarized themselves with the environment of the Star Auction Pavilion.
...
"To turn this pavilion into a world, and to possess invincible power within this world? Interesting."
"But what exactly is this, that it can easily open a gateway to other worlds, allowing powerful beings to descend, and perfectly transform the cultivation systems of different worlds?"
On the fifth floor, the Willow God had closely observed the events surrounding the Soul Heaven Emperor's appearance, and a sense of curiosity began to form in her heart.
As for the Invincible Domain Jiang Li had used earlier, the Willow God didn't think much of it; such methods were also simple for her.
The method of opening space tunnels to allow experts from other worlds to descend wasn't that surprising either.
What truly shocked her, however, was the ability to fully integrate powerful beings from other worlds into the rules of this world.
This method was something she couldn't replicate. After all, the cultivation systems of the two worlds were completely different. To adapt to the new world's system, one would have to abandon the cultivation system of the old world and start from scratch.
This was the only way to avoid a conflict between the two different systems inside one's body, which could lead to an explosion and death.
Yet, she had clearly seen that the strength of the being from another world had been completely transformed into the divine power of this world, with its entire power system evolving into martial souls and soul rings.
This method left the Willow God in disbelief.
After a long while, the Willow God stopped thinking about it and closed her eyes.
The willow tree beside her blossomed, emitting a faint green glow that enveloped the entire room. She needed to carefully analyze this situation.
...
Time passed, and soon two days had gone by.
Recently, Jiang Li had, like last time, made many invitations.
He had Lei Yao, Ling Yun, and the Soul Heaven Emperor send these invitations to the famous forces across Douluo Continent, preparing for the official opening of the Star Treasury three days later, and advancing the next steps for the Star Auction Pavilion.
...
Shrek Academy.
At this moment, the once peaceful Sea God Island was completely disrupted by the appearance of a golden invitation.
Sea God Island held another Sea God Pavilion meeting.
Mu En, Yan Shaozhe, and other members of the Sea God Pavilion all looked up at the golden invitation floating at the top.
"Star Treasury?"
After reading the content of the invitation, everyone's expressions became serious.
The Star Auction Pavilion was making a significant move. According to what Shrek Academy knew, the Star Auction Pavilion had sent invitations to nearly all the major forces across Douluo Continent, and they had also spread some news to ordinary soul masters.
They could already imagine how many soul masters would gather at the Star Auction Pavilion once the Star Treasury officially opened.
Forget about whether the Star Auction Pavilion could even accommodate so many soul masters. Simply, if half of the soul masters wanted to purchase treasures, could the Star Auction Pavilion really provide enough top-tier treasures?
"What exactly is the Star Auction Pavilion trying to do?"
Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but voice his inner doubts.
He was very clear that the Star Treasury was similar to some industries run by Shrek Academy. With this move, Shrek Academy's related industries would definitely be disrupted.
After several auctions, the Star Auction Pavilion had acquired a large number of top-tier treasures, and this was common knowledge.
When the Star Treasury officially opened, a constant stream of customers would arrive.
And Shrek Academy was still counting on those industries to make a large profit. Now, with this development, the academy would surely suffer a significant loss.
"Send someone to check it out. No matter what, our academy cannot miss any opportunity for improvement. If all goes well, the Star Treasury might bring us a different kind of surprise."
Mu En, sitting at the front, gave the command. He had a strong feeling that the Star Treasury was not simple.
This movement had been ongoing for several days.
Moreover, considering the Star Auction Pavilion's usual style, they wouldn't go to such great lengths for something trivial.
It could be said that this was even bigger than the movements that happened before each auction.
Therefore, he didn't want to miss this chance. If Shrek Academy missed it, wouldn't it let other forces gain an advantage in strengthening their powers while the academy stagnated?
Thus, after Mu En gave the order, the Sea God Pavilion meeting officially ended, and everyone waited for the opening of the Star Treasury three days later.
...
In the core area of the Star Dou Forest, in an alternate space beneath the Life Lake.
Di Tian received a message from a soul beast who had infiltrated the human soul master world. He immediately rushed to the silver palace ahead. After receiving instructions, he walked inside.
"Master, we received news from the human soul master world. The Star Treasury will officially open in three days. As for the specifics, the Star Auction Pavilion hasn't disclosed anything."
Di Tian handed the golden invitation to Gu Yue Nana.
Gu Yue Nana lightly touched the surface of the invitation, and the gilded patterns rippled slightly under her touch, as if responding to the Silver Dragon King's aura.
"Regardless, we must go to the Star Treasury when the time comes. Make sure to relay all the information you gather back to me."
After a moment of thought, Gu Yue Nana gave the command, a trace of vigilance flashing in her purple eyes.
Any movement from the Star Auction Pavilion must have deep meaning. This time, they had invited all soul masters from Douluo Continent, and it was likely to cause quite a stir.
The soul beasts would certainly not be absent.
"Yes, Master."
Di Tian nodded respectfully after hearing this and then left the palace.
...
At the headquarters of the Spirit Hall, in the dim underground palace, candlelight flickered.
Zhongli Wu put the golden invitation away.
"Prepare. We head to the Star Auction Pavilion in three days."
Zhongli Wu was surrounded by a dark and malevolent aura, and the law protectors behind him had extremely serious expressions.
"Pass down the orders. Gather as many gold soul coins and treasures as possible."
Zhongli Wu suddenly spoke, a strange smile flashing in his eyes. "This time, we'll not only uncover the truth behind the Star Treasury, but if the opportunity arises..."
He smiled faintly, "We'll buy as many top-tier treasures as possible."
As soon as the words were spoken, a black-robed law protector quickly left, and the sound of his footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, startling a group of bats.
...
With the invitations being sent, forces such as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Body Sect, the Soul Beast Clan, Shrek Academy, and other top forces on Douluo Continent prepared themselves.
Even the hidden Haotian Sect received the news.
In every corner of Douluo Continent, countless eyes were fixed on the direction of the Star Auction Pavilion.
They were waiting for the arrival of the three days, driven by different motives—whether greed, curiosity, or caution.
