For a moment, the divine thoughts within the hall surged like a swarm, all rushing toward Zhao Sheng, as every Nascent Soul cultivator revealed their most precious treasures, hoping to exchange for the treasures they had dreamt of.

Clearly, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Da Chun Realm might not match the Heavenly Pillar Netherworld Three Realms cultivators in spiritual realm, but their eye power was far superior.

The majority of Nascent Souls recognized the true value of the Carrying Dao Treasures and naturally wouldn't miss such legendary treasures.

But to their disappointment, Zhao Sheng's standards were too high. He wasn't impressed by any of the treasures they offered, and he refused them outright without any room for negotiation.

Well, there was someone who succeeded in exchanging.

The Elder in a Crimson Robe offered a large number of high-grade treasure pills and made repeated solemn promises, eventually trading with numerous Nascent Soul cultivators to successfully acquire many treasures imbued with the Power of Space-Time.

Finally, he traded all at once, barely managing to obtain that huge Ten-thousand-year-old Fire Marrow from Zhao Sheng.

The actions of the Elder in a Crimson Robe immediately alerted other fellow cultivators. Hence, the hall became exceptionally chaotic, with all the Nascent Soul cultivators busy engaging in trades with each other.

For a time, the hall was buzzing with noise and excitement, resembling a marketplace.

This "bustle" lasted for an entire hour, but the results were empty. Aside from the South Shrimp Pearl and the Ten-thousand-year-old Elixir successfully traded, the remaining four Carrying Dao Treasures weren't exchanged.

All the Nascent Souls had their grievances, but no one dared to question Zhao Sheng.

Because during the chaotic trading, Zhao Chengping very "kindly" introduced Master Zhao's many "achievements" to all the fellow cultivators.

With the Ice Soul Divine Pearl and South Shrimp Pearl as evidence, no one doubted Zhao Chengping's words to be false.

Faced with such an invincible great cultivator, these twenty-some "small fries" didn't dare show teeth and claw.

In the end, Mr. Dengcao stood out unwillingly and asked, "Taoist Zhao, the treasures you're asking for are too rare. It seems that no one has them, but would you consider exchanging for Mystic Crystal Origin Qi?"

As Mr. Dengcao spoke, Zhao Sheng sensed a longing gaze from the left, it was another great cultivator, the Elder in a Crimson Robe.

Seeing Zhao Sheng looking his way, Mr. Dengcao managed to squeeze out a slightly ingratiating smile.

"Sorry, Carrying Dao Treasures cannot be lightly given unless something truly moves my heart, otherwise there will be no trade." Zhao Sheng withdrew his gaze and resolutely shook his head.

"Taoist Zhao, is there really no room for negotiation?" Mr. Dengcao's face changed, showing a hint of reluctance.

Zhao Sheng didn't answer but swept his long sleeve, collecting the Ice Soul Divine Pearl, Crystal Skull, Harmonization Stele, and Illusion Black Stone Core.

Mr. Dengcao was silent for a while, finally sitting down dejectedly. The Elder in a Crimson Robe lowered his gaze, obviously helpless.

Other Nascent Souls, seeing this, were extremely frustrated, displaying an expression of missing their greatest opportunity in life.

"Mr. Lei, your... your actions will make you the target of many, which will surely cause great trouble later. Even those Divinity Transformation True Monarchs will..." Zhao Chengping secretly transmitted, his voice full of concern and worry.

"No worries, if they dare come, I'll personally see them off on their way. Even True Monarchs would be no exception."

Zhao Sheng's boastful tone was so bold that it left Zhao Chengping speechless, almost thinking he had heard wrong.

Zhao Sheng glanced around and sighed in slight disappointment, slowly sitting back down.

He hadn't initially placed much hope, taking out five Carrying Dao Treasures publicly at once was only for "publicity."

His target was the Nascent Soul cultivators arriving later, as well as the Ancient Clan, the Ke family.

With the foundation of the Ke family, they must possess Star Gate Transmission Orders, trading one out shouldn't be difficult.

As for whether the Ke family would kill for treasure? The Ke family would never choose to act in Nanke Hall; the reason is understood implicitely, no need for further explanation.

The exchange will continue, but after this incident, the items brought out later seemed mediocre, and the atmosphere became dull.

An hour later, the exchange session ended hastily in this atmosphere.

Zhao Sheng did not linger here much longer and immediately set off with Zhao Chengping, flying the magic platform towards the depths of the Cloud Sea.

At this moment, the hall had vanished, and the sight was filled with boundless clouds, as if returned to the outside world.

Yet everyone knew they were still inside Nanke Hall, the surrounding Cloud Sea was merely another layer of real illusion.

Taoist Ke Chang was evidently unwilling to give up, hastily flying his platform to catch up, earnestly inquiring whether Zhao Sheng could keep that stele for him until he finds enough worthy treasures to trade.

At this moment, Zhao Chengping even chimed in supportively, seemingly owing this person a great favor previously.

Considering Zhao Chengping's face, Zhao Sheng promised that during the convention, the Harmonization Stele would remain with him, but not for more than half a year.

Taoist Ke Chang rejoiced upon hearing this and quickly departed enthusiastically.

However, he didn't know that Zhao Sheng had already said similar words to a dozen other Nascent Soul cultivators.

One by one, platforms swiftly dissipated and disappeared into the depths of the Cloud Sea.

Zhao Sheng and Zhao Chengping, riding their platform, flew to a deserted place.

As their thoughts flashed, the platform beneath them changed significantly, and the surrounding Cloud Sea transformed into a cultivation cave mansion rich in Spiritual Energy, complete with Dao Field, Quiet Room, Alchemy Room, Artifact Refining Room, and other facilities.

Zhao Sheng gazed at the antique Dao Field before him, his mind moved once more, and in an instant, dense array patterns appeared on the surrounding walls, and a Four Symbols Barrier emerged spontaneously, enveloping the entire Dao Field.

"Amazing, even high-level forbidden arrays can be manifested in a single thought, Nanke Hall indeed is an ultimate illusion treasure. Perhaps it has reached the level of True Form Spirit Treasure."

"Could it be... that everyone's actions are monitored by the treasure's primordial spirit? If so, the Ke family's intentions are..." Zhao Sheng's insight suddenly flashed, pondering secretly.

Thinking this, he suddenly sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, beginning his exercises and meditation.

...

Two days passed by in a blink.

Zhao Sheng had been sitting and meditating in the Dao Field for two days.

Suddenly,

He opened his eyes wide, with Divine Light shooting three feet away from his gaze, turning to look outside the cave mansion with a slightly chilly expression, shouting, "Since you've arrived, why hesitate? Come in!"

Immediately as his words fell, the wall ahead swiftly transformed into a large door, at the end a middle-aged man with sneaky features stood there—Mr. Dengcao.

"Haha, I have taken the liberty to visit, please don't take offense, Thunder God Taoist." Mr. Dengcao stepped into the Dao Field while cupping his hands apologetically, his attitude very sincere.

"Such trivial matters, unworthy of mention. But Mr. Dengcao, you come to see the old man, perhaps for the treasures?" Zhao Sheng's face slightly eased as he spoke.

"Indeed, I've come for the Demon Emperor's Heart Core, but also to remind the Taoist to be cautious of the Ke family." Mr. Dengcao cupped his hands and then switched the topic.

"I've heard that you are of the Ke family origin, why deliberately defame your own True Monarch?" Zhao Sheng said calmly upon hearing this.

Mr. Dengcao laughed twice and then seriously said, "Haha, I was personally expelled by that old Ke Kun a thousand years ago, and I haven't used the Ke surname since. Besides, that old Ke Kun is despicable—"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Sheng abruptly interrupted, "Mind your words, be careful not to be overheard!"

Mr. Dengcao opened his mouth to speak but swallowed his words.

"Rest assured, you can vent here as you wish without implicating you." He assured with a pat on his chest after thinking for a moment.

"The old man doesn't want to hear vulgarities. If you wish to exchange that Demon Emperor's Heart Core, promptly bring out treasures that intrigue me."

"It's not... I do know the whereabouts of several treasures you want. The Ke family internally holds three Star Gate Transmission Orders, likely able to produce one for trade. But be cautious afterward... you understand!" Mr. Dengcao hinted with a look.

But Zhao Sheng lowered his gaze, appearing indifferent.
