Chapter 767 - Each With Their Own Ulterior Motives (1/2)

…

“A sacred-grade snow lotus that contains the power of law. The quality is very good. You can enter now.”

The Sacred Sovereign guarding the city gate handed over a resource to the other person, allowing him to enter the Spirit Nether City.

Ye Xiao, who was far away, saw that scene, but his expression did not change. With a thought, he followed the other person into the city gate.

As a Celestial Sovereign, he was many times stronger than those people. Wherever he wanted to go, those people would not be able to see him or catch him.

If it were in the past, he might have chosen to pay some money so that no one would notice him.

However, he was a Celestial Sovereign at that point. Even if he did not pay, no one would notice him.

Behind him, there were still Sacred Sovereigns queuing up to pay, waiting to enter Spirit Nether City.

Inside Spirit Nether City, compared to the void outside, it looked much brighter.

A luminous celestial body was directly imprisoned there and used as a light source. That celestial body was about the size of the Earth’s moon in Ye Xiao’s previous life. One could imagine the scale of Spirit Nether City.

However, to the current Ye Xiao, those were no longer important. His current strength was too strong. It did not matter whether there was light or not. With a sweep of his divine sense, he could see everything in his surroundings.

He would first understand the situation inside Spirit Nether City.

Ye Xiao walked on the streets and strolled leisurely. His divine sense was constantly searching for all the conversations in the entire city.

Even the secret voice transmissions of some Sacred Sovereigns could not escape his ears and were easily heard by him.

In just a few short minutes, most of the information about the entire Spirit Nether City had already been recorded in his mind.

That was enough.

Among the things that interested him more, other than the many items that the Spirit Nether City would be auctioned off tomorrow, there was also a point where the city lord of the Spirit Nether City was said to be on the verge of successfully advancing to the Celestial Sovereign realm.

It looked like he was very likely planning to use the resources at that time to raise his cultivation and reach the final step of advancement.

Other than that, there was another point that made him very interested.

That was that the Spirit Nether City actually belonged to the Void Alliance that he had encountered previously!

Ye Xiao’s memory of the Void Alliance was still fresh in his mind.

They dared to face the Lord of Heavens Yin Shi head-on, so they could be considered a rather big faction.

Ye Xiao was currently considering whether to make use of the Void Alliance to let them fight against the Celestial Sovereign Yin Shi.

That way, he could just reap the benefits afterward.

Not only would he be able to help Universe 78 and restore the power of the origin laws, but he could also make a huge profit and obtain more sacred blood for himself to absorb and strengthen.

After all, Ye Xiao’s ultimate goal was not merely to help Universe 78. His ultimate goal was to successfully advance to the Supreme Sovereign realm.

Only by advancing to that level would he have the chance to fight alongside the Ancestral Dragon against the God of Creation and then slaughter the God!

He wanted to become the God of Creation and become an existence that could truly control his life and freedom forever!

For that goal, he had to plan ahead!

Every supreme being had to trample over mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They had to trample over the destruction of countless universes before they could be formed.

To reach that level, the first thing they needed was strength.

Strength was not something that could be gained in a single bite. It was something that could be cultivated slowly.

The Celestial Sovereign Yin Shi… The Void Alliance could be used as a springboard for him to increase his strength in the early stages.

When his strength increased once again and reached the late stage of the Celestial Sovereign realm, he could easily fight against those old Celestial Sovereigns. Then, he could expand further and plunder the resources of those old Celestial Sovereigns.

As long as he plundered enough resources, he would be able to reach that level one day.

It was perfect!

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a strange power searching for something in the crowd.

That made Ye Xiao narrow his eyes slightly.

Someone had discovered something. He did not expect that there were still some powerful existences in that city. He had only used his divine sense slightly, but the other party was actually able to discover him. His methods were truly extraordinary.

Forget it, he would pause his small actions for the moment.

After all, he had already gathered sufficient information and knew that the auction would only begin tomorrow.

Although he already knew the location of the archaic Dragon Emperor’s imprisonment, he did not want to go over to rescue him so quickly.

There might be some high-level cultivators in the city who had similar strengths as him. Rushing over rashly was not a wise choice.

Ye Xiao found a large-scale inn in the city. Almost all of the people staying there were Sacred Sovereigns.

Even those who ran errands were all high-level cultivators at the Imperial Immortal realm.

If that kind of matter was told to those cultivators in the small universe, they would probably feel that it was like a fairy tale.

He would temporarily rest in the inn for the night and talk about it tomorrow.

He needed an identity token to stay in the inn. The identity token would be given out when he entered the city.

However, for Ye Xiao, he did not need to worry about that thing at all. He only needed to use his spiritual energy to slightly control the staff at the front desk, and he would be able to easily complete the check-in procedures.

After entering the room, Ye Xiao immediately set up the array and began to enter a meditative state, adjusting his strength to the most perfect degree.

…

On the other side, in the grand City Lord’s manor, a figure suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a deep look of puzzlement.

‘This is strange. What was that feeling just now? Why does it feel like the entire city is being spied on by others? Spirit Nether City has fused with me. Although my strength isn’t a true Celestial Sovereign and has only reached a lesser Celestial Sovereign, with the support of Spirit Nether City, I can already unleash the full strength of a Celestial Sovereign.

‘However, I still couldn’t find the other party. Could it be that the other party’s cultivation was even stronger than mine? He had already reached the true meaning of a Celestial Sovereign?

‘Who was it? Did he secretly come to the Spirit Nether City? Was it just a simple divine sense inspection?’

Before he finished that though, a figure rushed in quickly.

“Greetings, City Lord.”

“At ease.”

“Thank you, City Lord.”

“How are the preparations for this auction coming along?”

“Reporting to the City Lord, the preparations are very good. Everything is waiting for tomorrow. This time, we are estimated to receive three times more resources than usual.

“These resources are enough for the Spirit Nether City to increase their strength once again. It won’t be long before they create even more Sacred Sovereigns with 12 apertures!

“It might even be possible for the City Lord to advance to become a true Celestial Sovereign in one step.”

“Good! Well done!”
