Chapter 1929: Chapter 1011: Struggle for Possession

Shuangji Island is the location of the Shuangji Sect’s mountain gate, a sizable sect in the Cloud Island Sea.

Shuangji Island does not have the Cave Heaven Space’s barrier; not many large sects truly possess such barriers, as they are fortunate enough to have obtained the inheritance of great cultivators.

Those willing to leave an Inheritance Cave Heaven are few; most great cultivators transform their Cave Heaven into their tomb before their demise, burying themselves along with it.

Today, Shuangji Island is particularly lively, as it is hosting a grand event.

The attendees are cultivators from various forces, all drawn here by a discovery in the sea of Shuangji Island.

Decades ago, a cultivator from the Shuangji Sect discovered a Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine beneath Shuangji Island’s sea.

This miraculous occurrence immediately attracted the attention of the Shuangji Sect’s upper echelons.

Subsequently, Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicines continued to appear. Many of them, despite being unsuitable to grow in seawater, astonishingly thrived and grew while encased in bubbles.

The Shuangji Sect dispatched cultivators to collect these Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicines, but they never entirely depleted them, as new ones appeared after a period.

Originally, this matter was an unbreakable secret of the Shuangji Sect, but it was not long before this grand secret leaked out.

Some forces started probing, with investigations into the Shuangji Sect increasing in frequency.

With too many forces seeking benefits from the Shuangji Sect, it dared not act with excessive aggression.

Ultimately, unwillingly, it had to publicize the sea’s resources.

Of course, the Shuangji Sect took the opportunity to host a grand event. They auctioned the Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicines as a trade-off, amassing considerable profits.

As for the production area of the sea’s Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicines, a public disclosure was inevitable, with intentions to garner further revenue.

"Fellows, after the auction ends, I will guide you to the sea’s resource point. Due to its limited scale, Shuangji Sect released fifty permits. These fifty permits are also the final auction items!" Great Cultivator Zhang Hou from the Shuangji Sect stated with a smile.

A shrewd gleam flickered in his eyes; fifty permits were enough to make significant profits for the Shuangji Sect.

Furthermore, more permits could be sold later, as guarding the sea’s resource point was futile, hence the decision to publicize it through this method.

Fifty permits were far from sufficient; even some Great Cultivators competed to obtain them.

An enigmatic resource point continuously producing Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicines greatly intrigued the Great Cultivators, sensing this might be their opportunity.

Driven by the prospect of opportunity, the Great Cultivators acted almost frenziedly.

In fact, this notion of opportunity was deliberately leaked by the Shuangji Sect to ensure the auction value of the permits rose.

As predicted by Shuangji Sect, only a few permits were won by ordinary cultivators at the auction’s start, with most claimed by various Great Cultivators.

This left the ordinary cultivators who secured permits momentarily unsure of what to do; competing with a group of Great Cultivators for resources seemed suicidal.

The Great Cultivators would not bother with the ordinary cultivators’ thoughts, as they headed towards the sea’s resource point led by Great Cultivator Zhang Hou.

Being very close to Shuangji Island’s Grand Formation, this area was within the formation’s coverage.

Only cultivators holding permits could reach here and enter the sea.

The ordinary cultivators who won permits ultimately had their permits fall into the hands of the Great Cultivators.

Thus, apart from Great Cultivator Zhang Hou of the Shuangji Sect, the sea’s resource point was entered by fifty Great Cultivators holding permits.

"Fellows, through the formation ahead is the location of the sea’s resource point. Ensure you do not disrupt the resource point’s environment while gathering resources!" Zhang Hou, immersed in the sea, used Spiritual Power Pattern to transmit his voice content to every Great Cultivator’s ear.

The Great Cultivators in the sea were each encapsulated in a spell shield, which served not only to block seawater but also to prevent sneak attacks.

Surrounded by Great Cultivators, finding valuable resources in the sea could potentially trigger a fierce battle.

Great Cultivator Zhang Hou felt apprehensive; should fifty Great Cultivators engage in a full-scale battle, he worried the Shuangji Sect’s Grand Formation may not contain them, possibly causing damage to Shuangji Island.

He now regretted why he had released the notion that the sea held opportunities for Great Cultivators. Although it increased the auction’s value slightly, it had created an uncontrollable scenario for the Shuangji Sect.

Had there been fewer Great Cultivators present, Great Cultivator Zhang Hou could have relied on the sect’s formation, along with fellow brothers, to suppress any Great Cultivators instigating trouble.

But with a full group of fifty Great Cultivators, their destructive potential was beyond the ability of the Shuangji Sect’s Great Cultivators to handle.

As more than fifty Great Cultivators entered the sea, crossing through the formation arranged by the Shuangji Sect, they arrived at the resource point area.

Before them was a sight: amidst the seawater, bubbles floated, inside which Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicines glimmered with spiritual light.

Had they not been forewarned, they might have mistaken this for a scene orchestrated by the Shuangji Sect.

"Great Cultivator Spirit Medicine!" exclaimed one Great Cultivator, reacting swiftly. He flashed before a bubble, reached for the medicine within it, and cried out in surprise.

The other Great Cultivators saw distinctly that the bubble’s medicine was indeed Great Cultivator Spirit Medicine.
