Daozhou border, the Ancient Realm of Tianyou.
The Ancient Realm of Tianyou was a new secret realm discovered in Daozhou over the past ten thousand years. Legend had it that it was the tomb of an ancient supreme expert, filled with countless secret treasures, attracting a large number of cultivators to explore it.
The secret realm contained numerous deadly mechanisms and powerful wandering souls born from the Dao essence of the supreme expert, making it extremely perilous. Consequently, few people managed to bring treasures out of the realm.
Most cultivators who ventured into the Ancient Realm for exploration remained within it forever.
However, precisely because of the high danger within the secret realm, after ten thousand years of its opening, the treasures inside had not diminished but rather increased, attracting even more Daozhou cultivators eager to seek fortune within the realm.
If one could bring out even a single treasure, or even obtain the original inheritance of a supreme expert, it would truly be a life-changing event!
Jian Sanliu arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Realm of Tianyou and found that a small settlement had formed outside the entrance, inhabited by many Grand Dao Immortal Lords, Chaos Sovereigns, and even Creation Gods.
Among the cultivators residing in the village were those planning to venture into the Ancient Realm, as well as opportunists who did not wish to risk their lives in the Ancient Realm but still sought to earn cultivation resources.
They typically sold magic treasures, elixirs, and information about the Ancient Realm of Tianyou in the village, and occasionally acted as guides for the outer areas of the Ancient Realm.
If the conditions allowed, they would even engage in double-crosses.
After all, the Ancient Realm of Tianyou was extremely dangerous, and no one knew exactly how people died within it.
As Jian Sanliu entered the village, a man with the cultivation of a Chaos Sovereign approached him with a smile, greeting him, "Boss, would you like to buy a map of the Ancient Realm of Tianyou? It only costs one Chaos Seed!"
"Give me a map."
Jian Sanliu tossed a Chaos Seed to the man, then asked him, "Do you know where the Ten Thousand Nether Grass is in the secret realm?"
"Oh! Boss, you've asked the right person!" the man's eyes lit up.
"Just a while ago, a Creation God emerged from the third level and discovered a medicinal field of Ten Thousand Nether Grass there!"
"Boss, if you give me one Chaos Heart or Grand Dao Origin, I'll mark the location of the medicinal field on the map for you!"
"Ten Thousand Nether Grass medicinal field?" Hearing the man's words, Jian Sanliu's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out a Chaos Heart from his spatial ring and handed it to the man, "Quickly mark it on the map for me!"
"Boss is generous!"
Seeing Jian Sanliu directly produce a Chaos Heart, the man's face was about to split into a grin. As he marked the location for Jian Sanliu, he asked, "Boss, would you like me to be your guide? I can take you directly to the entrance of the second level, saving you time wasted on the first level."
"Alright!" Jian Sanliu did not hesitate and took out another Chaos Heart for the man.
He was the Sect Master of the Dao Sect, and the Dao Sect was the foremost sect in Daozhou. Furthermore, his master was a supreme expert. It could be said that his assets were ten times that of an ordinary Creation God!
Treasures like Chaos Hearts and Grand Dao Origins were things he had plenty of.
Ye Ling had given him only three days. As long as he could find the Ten Thousand Nether Grass within three days, he could pay any price!
"Oh, boss! You are truly a distinguished figure!"
Seeing Jian Sanliu take out another Chaos Heart, the man flattered him repeatedly, then introduced himself, "Boss, my name is Zhou Wen. You can call me Little Zhou."
"Stop the nonsense and hurry up and lead the way, I'm in a hurry!" Jian Sanliu urged, having no mood to chat with Zhou Wen!
"Alright! Alright! Boss, follow me!" Zhou Wen dared not offend Jian Sanliu, such a major client, and quickly led Jian Sanliu into the Ancient Realm of Tianyou.
As soon as Jian Sanliu left, Ye Ling arrived at the village.
However, the moment Ye Ling stepped into the village, Zhou Wen, who had just been guiding Jian Sanliu, reappeared before Ye Ling and asked him with a smile, "Boss, would you like to buy a map of the Ancient Realm of Tianyou? It only costs one Chaos Seed!"
"It's you?"
Seeing Zhou Wen marketing to him with similar words, Ye Ling's brow furrowed slightly.
He had secretly planted a rune on Jian Sanliu, allowing him to monitor everything happening around Jian Sanliu.
This Zhou Wen was clearly guiding Jian Sanliu, and now there was another Zhou Wen?
If Ye Ling hadn't confirmed that the other Zhou Wen was still with Jian Sanliu, he would have thought these two were the same person.
"Boss recognizes me?" Zhou Wen looked at Ye Ling in surprise.
"I mistook you for someone else." Ye Ling came to his senses, then threw a Chaos Seed to Zhou Wen and said, "Give me a map."
"Alright, boss! One map of the Ancient Realm of Tianyou!" Zhou Wen took the Chaos Seed, his face immediately broke into a smile, and he pulled out a map from his pocket, handing it to Ye Ling.
Zhou Wen then asked, "Boss, would you like a guide? The outer areas of this Ancient Realm of Tianyou are like my own home. I can take you to the second level without any harm."
Ye Ling did not respond to Zhou Wen. He unfolded the map and found that the Ancient Realm of Tianyou was divided into nine levels, but this map only depicted the first three levels, and even then, only roughly.
"Brother, this map of yours has no information at all, it's not worth a Chaos Seed," Ye Ling folded the map and said to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen smiled, "Boss, you jest. This map alone was drawn at the cost of countless cultivators' lives!"
"Of course, I do have more detailed maps here, but the price is even higher."
Ye Ling asked, "How much more expensive?"
"One Grand Dao Heart."
Zhou Wen raised a finger, "If you can produce one Grand Dao Heart, boss, I can give you detailed maps of the first five levels. As long as you are strong enough, you will definitely gain benefits exceeding ten Grand Dao Hearts in the Ancient Realm of Tianyou."
Ye Ling sized up Zhou Wen and asked, "But you are just a Chaos Sovereign, how can you possibly have such a map?"
Zhou Wen smiled, "You don't need to worry about that, boss. If you have Grand Dao Hearts, I have maps. If not, then you can assume I don't have that capability."
"Interesting fellow."
Ye Ling looked at Zhou Wen deeply, smiled slightly, and said, "However, let your main body come out. I want to discuss a big business with your main body."
"My main body?" Hearing Ye Ling's words, Zhou Wen was slightly stunned, "Boss, what do you mean?"
Ye Ling: "I don't care what divine abilities you used. I'm only giving you this one chance. If you want to do something big, bring your main body out."
Zhou Wen still played dumb and smiled, "Boss... What are you talking about? I am me, where is there a main body?"
"If you don't want it, then forget it. I'll act as if I never said anything."
Ye Ling did not say any more to Zhou Wen, burned the map in his hand, and walked directly towards the entrance of the Ancient Realm of Tianyou.
"Wait!"
As Ye Ling was about to enter the secret realm, Zhou Wen suddenly called out to him.
"Something wrong?" Ye Ling turned back and asked.
Zhou Wen looked at Ye Ling deeply and asked in a low voice, "How big is the business you're talking about?"
Ye Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled, "The Dao Sect is that big."
Zhou Wen's eyes immediately lit up. He licked his lips and smiled, "If it's really that big, then I'm intrigued!"
