Above the sky, a young man could be seen darting at a low speed. The young man was none other than Zhao Ling, who was heading towards the Central Continent. He deliberately chose to fly because he wanted to arrive faster.
"At this speed, I'll need at least a month to reach the Central Continent. I think that's enough time, and I'm not in a hurry to get to the Central Continent anyway," muttered Zhao Ling as he flew leisurely.
A month passed by quickly, and Zhao Ling was seen walking in a certain city, looking for a restaurant.
"I can't believe Stone City has become such a big city," Zhao Ling muttered to himself. He clearly remembered that the city used to be just a small town populated by beggars on the streets, but now it had become a large city, and no one was seen begging.
The city he was currently in was Stone City, one of the large cities that had recently been established under the protection of the Four Pavilions. Stone City used to be a small town, but seeing its strategic location, the Four Pavilions decided to develop it into one of the major cities, and now Stone City had truly become a large city, and all its citizens were prosperous, with no more begging on the streets.
Back to Zhao Ling, he had now entered a fairly large restaurant. He went in, ordered food, and looked for an empty seat to sit down and gather information because restaurants were the place to get free information.
"Hey, are you guys going to the Bai Pavilion auction this afternoon?" asked a visitor.
"Of course, we are. Did you know that even major powers from other cities are coming? That means there will be valuable items up for auction," said his friend, let's call him B.
"Yes, you're right. I won't miss this opportunity, even though I don't have any gold coins. But it's exciting to see the major powers compete," said A, who had asked the question earlier, and they continued talking about the auction that would be held in a few hours.
"An auction sounds interesting. I'll go check it out. Who knows, there might be something interesting that has attracted the attention of the major powers in this continent," muttered Zhao Ling, who was very interested when he heard about the auction that would be held at the Bai Pavilion.
After that, Zhao Ling's order arrived, and he immediately ate it leisurely. He was still focused on hearing other interesting information, but until he finished eating, he didn't hear any other interesting news. And since it was almost noon and the auction would be starting soon, Zhao Ling then immediately headed to the Bai Pavilion, which was located in Stone City.
Upon arriving at the Bai Pavilion, Zhao Ling asked an attendant, "Excuse me, are there any VIP rooms available?"
"Oh, sir, of course, there are still three VIP rooms left, but the price is quite expensive," replied the attendant, addressing Zhao Ling as "sir" because Zhao Ling was wearing a hood that covered his face. Not only that, Zhao Ling was also wearing an all-black robe. He deliberately did this to conceal his identity.
"Alright, I'll pay for it," said Zhao Ling, immediately taking out a pouch of gold coins. The attendant counted and it turned out to be enough, even more.
"Very well, sir, please allow me to escort you to your room," said the attendant, and Zhao Ling was immediately taken to a room. He was given VIP room number 12.
After entering his room, Zhao Ling immediately sat down on the provided chair and waited for the auction to begin.
"Interesting, all the powers have gathered here, even the ancient clans are present. It seems that this time the item is very special. Hehehe, I hope it's something that can increase my strength," muttered Zhao Ling, who was very curious about the item that would be auctioned, which had even drawn the ancient families to come. It could be said that the ancient families very rarely interacted with others because they considered themselves stronger than everyone else. There were four ancient clans: the Han clan, the Gu clan, the Ye clan, and the Chen clan. These four clans were ancient clans that each had one member in the early Half-step Martial God realm.
However, those who came to this auction were not only the four of them, but also two demon clans, the Feng clan and the Long clan, which were the strongest powers in the Central Continent. The strongest of them all was, of course, the Long clan, which was the Dragon Demon clan. It was said that this clan had five members at the peak Martial Ancestor realm, which made no other power dare to offend them. Even the Feng clan had to bow their heads when they met them, even though they were both demon clans.
And besides the demon clans, there were also the three largest pavilions in the Central Continent: the Cloud Pavilion, the Alchemist Pavilion, and the Weaponsmith Pavilion. These three powers were also not to be underestimated, as their strength was not inferior to the four ancient clans, although still below the demon clans. And there was one more power that Zhao Ling hated very much, the Soul Palace, which was also present at the event.
"Heh, I didn't expect the Soul Palace to send Wu Ming here. Hahaha, with this, I can kill that bastard," muttered Zhao Ling with a creepy laugh. The Wu Ming he was referring to was the fifth general of the Soul Palace, and it was this Wu Ming who had always hunted him in his previous life, which was why he hated Wu Ming so much.
"Heh, even after all this time, he's still in the same realm," Zhao Ling said sarcastically when he saw Wu Ming's realm, which was at the 1-star Martial Sky realm. With Zhao Ling's current strength, he had full confidence in facing Wu Ming.
Zhao Ling continued to observe the major powers present, but none of them had changed, except that he noticed a beautiful woman he recognized in VIP room number three, which was occupied by the Gu clan.
"Oh, that girl has already reached the Sacred realm? What a genius. I didn't expect my former genius to be almost matched by her. Tsk tsk, it seems the legend of Zhao Ling has been broken," muttered Zhao Ling, mentioning his own name from his previous life. Yes, the woman he saw was Gu Xiao Er, whom he had saved in the Dark Forest. The girl was now nineteen years old, three years older than the current Zhao Ling.
