Ascension of The Unholy Immortal-Chapter 318: Liang’s anger

This array of valuable treasures presented on the list was so remarkable that doubt crept into his mind; most of these items he had only encountered in the Boundless Void Depository, and they seemed far too rare to exist in the lower domain.

Could it be possible for such treasures to actually be at the auction?

His expression darkened as realization struck him. All of these valuable artifacts had likely originated from the secret realm he had opened for the All Things Pavilion within the Spiritdrift World.

The thought of it stirred a fierce anger within him, especially considering he had only managed to gather one hundred and fifty thousand crystals—a sum that now felt utterly insufficient.

He could almost feel the blood rise to his cheeks out of frustration.

Yet, he was powerless in this situation; as a mere cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm, this amount had once seemed astronomical to him. Moreover, he had already struck a deal with the clan, and confronting them now would not bear fruit—life, after all, valued strength above all else.

"Brother Liang, are you listening?" Dong Tian Shu’s tone shifted to impatience.

Liang nodded, folding the list with careful precision. "That can’t be the only reason your father, the clan head, summoned me here."

Dong Tian Shu’s smile grew playful. "Oh, but it is! Do try to think a bit deeper."

After a moment of contemplation, enlightenment flickered in Liang’s eyes. He glanced back at the list, his surprise evident. "The Void Integration Matrix?"

Dong Tian Shu and Dong Tian Zi exchanged relieved glances.

"Since you were able to deduce that, Brother Liang, it shows your understanding of the Void Integration Matrix is quite advanced," Dong Tian Zi remarked with a serious tone.

Liang’s eyes sparkled with thought, though he chose to remain silent, weighing the implications of their conversation in his mind.

Dong Tian Shu’s mouth twitched as he glanced at Liang. "Brother Liang, our clan aims to establish a base in the Heaven Fortune Domain. To do this, we require not just any formation; we need one intricately linked to the Void Integration Matrix from our home."

Liang’s silence hung in the air, prompting Dong Tian Shu to elaborately explain. "For that connection to work, this formation must closely resemble the Void Integration Matrix."

"Impossible," Liang replied, shaking his head. "Even with this material, it won’t be sufficient. At most, you could create a formation of slightly lower quality."

A spark ignited in Dong Tian Zi’s eyes. "So, it is possible?"

Liang pondered for a moment before nodding. "Theoretically, yes, with these materials, you could construct a Void Integration Matrix, albeit a one-way version."

"One way?" Dong Tian Zi furrowed his brow in confusion.

"It means you’d be able to travel to only one destination, and that choice can’t be altered," Liang clarified.

"That works as long as it’s within our solar system," Dong Tian Shu reasoned. "You can do it, right?"

"Me?" Liang’s eyes flickered with contemplation. "It will be a challenge."

"But you can do it?" Dong Tian Zi pressed.

"Doesn’t the Dong Clan have any other void experts ?" Liang countered.

Dong Tian Shu chuckled lightly. "We do, but… they’re all preoccupied with other matters. Right now, we only have you, Brother Liang. So, what do you say?"

"If Brother Liang performs such a feat, I’m certain the clan will reward you handsomely," Dong Tian Zi remarked, a glint of ambition in his eyes.

Reward me? Liang scoffed silently; we’ll see about that.

"With all the necessary materials at hand, I can give it a try," Liang replied, his tone indifferent. "Though I can’t guarantee total success."

"That’s all we need to hear," Dong Tian Shu chuckled, a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

In an instant, the trio sensed a presence outside the palace and turned their gazes toward the entrance.

Three figures stood at the gates.

Exchanging silent glances, the three men nodded in unison. Dong Tian Zi gestured with a wave of his hand, and the massive gates swung open.

Two men clad in silver robes flanked a woman draped in an imperial purple palace robe.

The woman scrutinized the trio with keen eyes before her gaze settled on Liang.

"It’s been a long time, Mister Liang," she said, a knowing smile on her lips.

Liang’s expression brightened at the sight of the familiar face. "Miss Xia, you look as radiant as ever. Indeed, it’s been quite a while."

Dong Tian Shu and Dong Tian Zi exchanged surprised glances, but quickly masked their intrigue. It was not unusual for an expert like Liang to have connections in the Heaven Fortune Domain; many Runic Mystery experts were well-traveled.

"Mister Liang," Xia stated, seriousness replacing her earlier warmth, "we have found the person you’ve been searching for. If you wish to learn more, please come with me."

Liang’s gaze flickered briefly before he turned Dong Tian Zi and Dong Tian Shu. "I hope you don’t mind."

Dong Tian Shu shook his head dismissively. "Do as you please, Brother Liang. We have nothing planned."

Nodding in acknowledgment, Liang prepared to leave alongside Xia.

"Miss Xia, when will the auction commence?" Dong Tian Zi interjected suddenly.

With a charming smile, Xia replied, "We’ve decided to postpone the auction."

Dong Tian Shu and Dong Tian Zi exchanged surprised glances. Could there be an issue with the treasures?

The All things Pavilion wouldn’t just postpone the auction for no reason, right ?

"It’s not a significant matter," Xia continued calmly. "Many of our guests have yet to arrive, so we opted to delay."

At this, both Dong Tian Zi and Dong Tian Shu’s expressions fell. Did the All Heaven Pavilion think they had nothing better to do?

Sensing the rising tension, Xia waved a hand reassuringly. "Don’t worry, esteemed guests. We’ve organized a welcome banquet to keep you entertained. It will feature a variety of delectable and rare dishes."

Dong Tian Shu’s eyes sparkled with excitement. "When will it take place?"

He could only imagine the remarkable culinary delights the All Heaven Pavilion would offer!

Xia covered her mouth, suppressing a laugh. "I’m sure someone will come to inform you by the end of the day."
