I Have an Omen System

"Those who enter my Ten Thousand Treasures Black Market must abide by my rules. No wanton slaughter of the innocent. No bullying others with your power.

Otherwise, do not blame me for being merciless!"

BOOM!

A piercing, androgynous Demonic Sound suddenly reverberated from all directions.

The Demonic Sound also seemed to contain some kind of Divine Sense attack.

"It’s... a Demon Cultivator!"

Wang Runtian, Wang Runsong, and the others’ faces filled with terror. They felt a sharp pain in their eardrums as a warm liquid with the coppery tang of blood trickled down their cheeks.

They touched their faces instinctively, their hands coming away stained with crimson blood!

As for Wang Lanmeng and the others with even lower Cultivation, they fainted outright.

However, Wang Zezhou knew this was merely a crude Magic Technique for a Divine Sense attack, not an actual move made by a Demon Cultivator.

A golden barrier of light appeared around Qin Xuan, blocking the vast majority of the Demonic Sound.

"Excellent technique, Talisman Master Wei!" Wang Zezhou praised, his voice deep and aged.

"Ancestor, you flatter me. It was a trivial technique, hardly worth mentioning."

With a neutral expression, Qin Xuan half-carried Wang Lanmeng in his arms and quietly retreated behind Wang Zezhou.

He silently released his Divine Sense, and in an instant, Qin Xuan locked onto the source of the Demonic Sound.

’Interesting. So the so-called Master of Ten Thousand Treasures Valley is a Cyan-arm Stone Ape at the Tunneling Foundation Establishment Second Level!’

On the sheer, knife-like black cliff face opposite them, a long-armed demonic monkey covered in stiff, cyan-black fur like steel needles was squatting in the shadow of a rock outcropping. It bared its stark white fangs, a low "HURH HURH" sound rumbling in its throat.

The Demonic Sound seemed to be a simple warning.

Soon, the Wang Family party followed the plank walkway down to the bottom of the valley.

A small stream trickled through the valley floor.

All around were temporary shacks and shelters built from rough logs, rubble, and Beast Skins.

Clearly, many people had already arrived.

Figures moved about within the valley, their auras a chaotic mix. Almost all of them were at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, with a few scattered individuals at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.

There wasn’t a single visible Foundation Establishment Ancestor among them.

However, Wang Runsong spotted several familiar faces.

"Second Brother, look at that old crone. Doesn’t she look like that old hag from the Wu Family?" Wang Runsong said in a low voice.

Wang Runtian nodded slightly, his eyes narrowing. "That old relic from the Sunx Family is here too."

In a distant shack, they saw a hunched old woman with white hair and deeply wrinkled skin, leaning on a Snake Head Walking Stick. Beside her stood a young girl in a pink dress.

It was none other than the Ancestor of the Wu Family of Cold Abyss Valley, an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Granny Tie Mei.

Besides Hua Tiemei, there was also a vigorous, purple-robed old man in the distance, puffing away with a smile on a long-stemmed pipe with a jade mouthpiece.

A crowd of people was gathered at the bottom of Yunxi Valley.

Foundation Establishment families from You Province, such as the Sunx Family and the Shen Family, had all sent representatives.

These groups already didn’t get along, and now that they were in the lawless land of Canglin Country, their first meeting was like clashing blades. The air was thick with gunpowder.

With swords drawn and tensions high, a fight was about to break out at any moment.

"Everyone, I am Yunlong, the master of the Ten Thousand Treasures Marketplace."

"Thank you all for traveling such great distances to join us in my Yunxi Valley for the Ten Thousand Treasures Auction."

A short, stout, middle-aged Cultivator with a ruddy, prosperous-looking face and wearing a sapphire-blue brocade Daoist Robe appeared in the center of the area.

He cupped his hands and bowed with an amiable smile.

"As per the Valley Master’s request, the auction will be held once every three months. At each auction, at least one Foundation Establishment Pill will be sold."

"The next auction will be in one month’s time."

Yunlong’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it carried clearly to everyone’s ears.

"In the meantime, if any of you have Spirit Talismans or Treasure Medicines you wish to offload, you may trade amongst yourselves or find me here in the valley to have them listed as auction items. I will collect a ten percent commission."

As his voice fell, the smile on Yunlong’s face remained, but he suddenly flicked his wide sleeve.

BOOM!

His blue robe billowed as a vast and heavy Spiritual Pressure erupted from him!

Like a toppling mountain, it instantly enveloped the entire valley floor. The mist in the valley churned violently, and an invisible force swept up dust and rubble, sending them scattering in spirals.

Many of the Qi Cultivation Cultivators were caught off guard, their faces turning pale as the pressure forced them to stagger backward.

Gasps echoed through the crowd, and one person whispered in fear, "What a powerful aura! He’s a great power of the Earth Dao Foundation Establishment!"

"No wonder the Ten Thousand Treasures Black Market could open. So there are two Foundation Establishment cultivators here," someone else realized.

Some of the restless Loose Cultivators who had been itching for a fight instantly settled down.

A spiritual light flashed in the depths of Qin Xuan’s eyes. He saw that Yunlong’s Cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment First Level and nearly laughed out loud.

’A mere Earth Dao Foundation Establishment First Level cultivator dares to be called a "great power"? In the Foundation Establishment Chaos War, he wouldn’t even qualify to be cannon fodder.’

’This is what it feels like to be a smurf in a low-ranked lobby. It feels amazing!’

’The strongest one in this entire valley is that monkey. I’m even considering whether I should just take this chance and wipe them all out in one fell swoop.’

’With just these people here, I could crush them all with one hand.’

At that moment, Wang Lanmeng slowly began to stir.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with terror, like those of a frightened fawn.

Her warm, soft, and voluptuous body pressed tightly against Qin Xuan, the familiar smooth sensation returning.

’Forget it. I’ll just lay low. It’s not worth exposing my identity for a bunch of ants.’

Qin Xuan turned to comfort the beauty instead. His large hands covered her full, rounded curves, their astonishing elasticity a source of great pleasure.

"My lord, people are watching..."

Wang Lanmeng whimpered, a shy blush rising to her cheeks.

"It matters not. With me here, I will surely protect you," Qin Xuan boomed with laughter.

...

With Yunlong presiding, the atmosphere immediately relaxed.

Some of the Loose Cultivators who were in a hurry to sell their goods began to actively seek out buyers.

Just then, a thin Loose Cultivator with shifty, rat-like eyes and a Cultivation at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer furtively approached Qin Xuan’s side.

He pulled a shimmering, iridescent Jade Talisman from his sleeve.

"Fellow Daoist, a Tier Two Low-Grade Treasure Talisman, the Cyan Wood Body Protection Talisman...

When activated, it forms a tough Wood Spirit Armor around the body, enough to block a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Only two hundred low-grade spirit stones. Are you interested?"
