Three days afterwards .

The Azure Dragon Territory East Sea . The normally tranquil ocean was currently thronging with escape lights . Every sort of strange flight magic weapon gathered together over the East Sea, from soaring clouds and mist to flying beasts, from naval battleships to sea monsters, there was everything . Even the Great Liang Dynasty’s Purple Cloud East Approaches could not compare to such a spectacular sight . Innumerable cultivators rushed over from every direction of Liangshan Continent .
In the surroundings of the East Sea were several hundred pavilions . These pavilions were not markets at all . They were specially prepared for those cultivators who were unable to go to the East Sea . Even if some cultivators were unable to enter the East Sea, they could still reap plenty of benefits on the outside . Just that dazzling, fantastical treasure alone was enough to be a feast for the eyes .
These pavilions specially sold a few “Water Escape Pearls,” “Water Avoidance Talismans,” “Water Barrier Talismans,” and more for qualified cultivators to buy .
On this day, a magnificent dragon boat rode the heavens .
That dragon boat was more than a hundred meters long, and it was carved with dragons and phoenixes, engraved with cryptic talisman script, magic circles layered together . In particular was that as the dragon boat traversed the sky, underneath it sparkled with stars like a galaxy, extremely dazzling . Even several of the Great Sects’ arrays could not compare . That dragon boat circled around in the sky, and then it directly spiraled downwards, ignoring the shocked gazes of everyone .
Upon touching the sea’s surface, there was immediately a wave, a river of stars .
“Is that a Heavenly Spirit Astral Treasure?”
“Never heard of it, it looks to be very powerful . ”
“Which sect has so much capital? Tsk, tsk, even the Most High Path’s ‘Straight Into Clear Skies’ completely cannot compare . ”
“Could it be the Great Liang’s imperial family or the Great Circle Castle’s Noble Star??”
Everyone chatted . The greatest interest of these cultivators that were unable to enter the ocean depths was to look for clues from their previous position every time a sect arrived, and they never grew tired of the gossip . This was considered some delight .
That dragon boat was the Heavenly River Star Riding Boat, and its owner was naturally Su Xing .
Su Xing stood on the deck with his arms crossed . The Heavenly River Star Riding Boat possessed multiple defensive barriers . It was impervious to water and flame, and an instant later, the Star Riding Boat already dove several thousand li beneath the East Sea . Lin Yingmei stood beside him, not uttering a word .
In the silent atmosphere, they heard only the whoosh of water in the surroundings .

In the boundless depths, after a black tide, the Star Riding Boat suddenly stopped . A wave barrier opened .
Su Xing took out the Crystal Token of the Treasure Banquet that Long Nü gave him . The token moved in the water . The barrier opened, and the Star Riding Boat melded into the barrier . Then, countless water-lights shot back . Wu Xinjie and the other girls left the hold in succession .
Following the disappearance of the light, everything in front of them suddenly became clear . The scene in front of them suddenly made the silent Su Xing and others astonished .
What lay before them was a magnificent sight . Large crystal palaces were continuous and unending, just like a mountain range spread out along the entire East Sea’s seabed . The tallest palace among them seemed to rise up out of the abyss . Coral was piled up, with glittering pearls and every sort priceless treasure and gem glinting . Countless cultivators shuttled back and forth through the palaces . The seawater outside the palace bubbled up, yet the crowd inside the giant palace was no stained by water at all . They were cleaner than on the surface .
Upon closer inspection, these continuous palaces astonishingly were like a giant prostrate dragon .
This was the renowned Crystal Palace of Liangshan Continent’s Four Territories .
This palace was named because this palace used “Blue Wave Essence Crystal” in its construction . The ones in command of this palace was the “Long”1 clan, thus, it received the name Crystal Dragon Palace . In actuality, rather than saw it was a sect, it was more accurate to say they were deeply-rooted, entangled generational family .
“How incredible . ” Su Xing already had been impressed by every kind of Liangshan Continent’s wonders . He had even thought that he was already calm as water . Today when he saw the Crystal Dragon Palace’s towering majesty, he still sucked in a breath .
The Crystal Dragon Palace’s construction in this fashion was already awe-inspiring . What made Su Xing even more astonished was that the construction was surprisingly at a depth of ten thousand zhang . Although the East Sea was warm, normal cultivators were completely unable to enter or leave the ocean territory .
“This barrier is very powerful . ” Tang Lianxin issued her opinion . Compared to luxurious palaces, the Solitary Star cared more about the magic weapon that was obstructing the ten thousand fathoms of seawater .
“Reportedly, the Crystal Dragon Palace has passed down a Prehistoric Spirit Treasure, ‘Connecting Heaven Ocean Settling Pearl . ’ This treasure is extremely exceptional . It can create an astral space . ” Wu Xinjie muttered .
Su Xing looked . As expected, several corners of the large Crystal Dragon Palace had resplendent flickering lights . It appeared that was the power of the Connecting Heaven Sea Settling Pearl .
“If the Connecting Heaven Ocean Settling Pearl is so powerful, would they give it to Long Nü to participate in the Star Duels?” Su Xing asked .

“There are a total of twenty-four Connecting Heaven Ocean Settling Pearls, but to obstruct the water, the Crystal Dragon Palace requires at least twelve, and this treasure is very taxing on magic energy . A Star Master can control it but with great difficulty . She should not have one . ” Wu Xinjie analyzed: “After the Three Heavenly Books, the majority of Star Master’s sects will confer Spirit Treasures in return for ascending Maiden Mountain . Even if Long Nü used one, it would only be in these months . ”
Su Xing thought so as well . There was nothing to worry about .
“Then let us see this Treasure Banquet . ”
Treasure Banquet .
The Crystal Dragon Palace went as far as being Liangshan Continent’s feast . Altogether, it was held for seven days and seven nights . The Treasure Banquet was split into four ranks based on cultivation, Heaven, Earth, Dark and Yellow . Each level had its own auction house and market . The Crystal Dragon Palace was split into four sectors, East, West, South and North . There were over ten thousand imperial palaces . Let alone the Crystal Dragon Palace’s enormity, it was in fact more like a giant underwater city . Ninety percent of the imperial palaces were related to peddling . Just the number of vendor booths exceeded thirty thousand . These shops mostly were fixed in the Crystal Dragon Palace year-round, and when the Treasure Banquet began, the vendor booths would reach millions with several transactions .
It could be said that the entire Liangshan Continent’s cultivators were all here . So long as Liangshan Continent possessed it, they practically could find it .
And other than the popularity that accumulated over several thousand years, another reason the Crystal Dragon Palace could have such great rallying power was that its unique position was crucial . The Crystal Dragon Palace was situated at the bottom of the Eastern Sea, used Blue Wave Essence Crystal in its construction, making the entire sea area fill with a pure Essence Qi . If this level of Essence Qi was used to nurture a magic weapon, cultivate spirit grass, forge an artifact, or cultivate a cultivation method, they would all be exceptional .
Not only could cultivators that set up in this place reap profits, all of the goods they peddled would become even more pure . No one would miss this .
What was most interesting in the Treasure Banquet was the “Treasure Grand Banquet” that happened after the seven days and nights .
The Crystal Dragon Palace would specially bring out magic treasures and spirit medicines that would make any cultivator moved for the auction . At that time, only Supervoid Cultivators could enter . “Life Extending Flat Peaches,” “Thousand Year Nüwa Tears,” “Four Symbols Seal,” and other crazy spirit medicines, spirit grasses, and spirit treasures had appeared in past Treasure Banquets . To be able to attract countless cultivators and to be able to make top-notch Supervoid Cultivators awed, the Treasure Banquet had to be extravagant .
“This Crystal Dragon Palace is honestly special . ” Gazing at this sea of people in the market, Su Xing was impressed . The Kagoshima Market Square and Black Turtle Territory Market Square he visited in the past were practically insignificant and not worth a mention in comparison .
However, that the Crystal Dragon Palace could be so generous made Su Xing very surprised . He had even thought the reason that sects were powerful was by relying on every sort spirit medicine and magic weapon? There was surprisingly a sect that would auction them off .
Su Xing did not feel the Crystal Dragon Palace was in need of money . In his perspective, this was like a sort of covert announcement of its position . Using this kind of method could bring stability, making the Azure Dragon Territory highly esteemed . Their business ability was formidable .
Stowing away the Heavenly River Star Riding Boat, everyone landed on the ground .

Countless cultivators immediately threw over their envious expressions . Su Xing was already accustomed to this, no longer seeing this as strange . Anyone bringing about a dozen girls that were as beautiful as fairies definitely would attract attention, let alone that these girls who were as beautiful as fairies were actually Star Generals .
The Crystal Dragon Palace was very large . For the sake of maintaining order, the barrier within forbade the use of Flying Swords . Of course, Supervoid Cultivators that could hover were ambivalent about this . Although Su Xing had ascended into Supervoid, he did not have interest . He first strolled around the Crystal Dragon Palace with all of the girls .
“Are we separating for the time being?” Wu Xinjie suggested .
There was no danger within the Crystal Dragon Palace anyways, so this was a good opportunity to separate their operations . They could procure the materials they each required, and when the time came for the Treasure Banquet to begin, they would then regroup .
Su Xing thought so as well . This was perfect for saving time .
Wu Siyou and Hua Wanyue bade farewell to Su Xing first, and then they flew towards the other areas .
After Xi Yue parted, then An Suwen and Tang Lianxin followed Hu Niangzi and Yan Yizhen to other places . All of the girls understood that Su Xing’s time currently was very short . They naturally did not want to tarry .
Very quickly, the beauties that remained at Su Xing’s side were Wu Xinjie, Lin Yingmei, Bai Yutang, Gongsun Huang, Zhang Yuqi, and Shi Yuan .
“This Young Lady shall go help Su Xing inquire information for now . ” Shi Yuan chuckled .
“Yuan’er, do you want Xinjie to come with you?” Su Xing asked .
Shi Yuan shook her head like a rattledrum . “No need, this place is so big, This Young Lady won’t wander off . ” The Thief Star’s eyes darted around . She appeared quite familiar with markets thronging with people .
Wu Xinjie just smiled and reminded her to not fool around . However, for safety’s sake, they still gave her a Thousand Li Sound Transmission Talisman .
Shi Yuan nodded, giggled, and then she departed .
“Young Su, then Yuqi shall go look around . Tangtang, don’t you need to buy spirit grass for brewing? Wanna go with Big Sister?” Zhang Yuqi facetiously winked . Then she asked the Bai Yutang hugged against Su Xing’s chest .
The Rat Star widened her gleaming eyes . She raised her head to ask Papa .
“Then you to be careful . ” Su Xing said .
“Relax, this isn’t the first time that Yuqi was alone, hee, hee . ” Zhang Yuqi winked then held onto Bai Yutang .
Bai Yutang was somewhat reluctant to part and waved her little hand .
“Do you have anything you want to do?” Su Xing asked .
“Your Servant will not leave Young Master . ” Lin Yingmei’s reply was within expectations .
Gongsun Huang also did not have interest . Sitting on Su Xing’s shoulder was probably the little loli’s most favorite hobby, “Since the other Sisters are here, Xinjie shall also remain at Young Lord’s side . ” Wu Xinjie giggled .
Passing by several halls, they came to the front gate of a plaza . The crowd gathered in the plaza jostled about, letting out noisy voices .
“The top of this year’s Ten Great Spirit Treasures is still the Supreme Ultimate Diagram?”
“Who knows who possesses this Supreme Ultimate Diagram now . It never changes . ”
“Is it not in the Most High Path’s hands?”
“Idiot, that has already changed . ”
“Wow, Fellow Han’s ‘Spirit Slashing Sword’ surprisingly broke into rank ninety-eighth on the Spirit Sealing List . Impressive . ”
Su Xing circled around . He lifted his head and saw an enormous signboard . Upon it was a scroll spread open . On that scroll were hovering letters, constantly changing .
“Spirit Sealing List!!”
Wu Xinjie was astonished .
