Sword Emperor

Within the Black City, just as Sun Bing had guessed, the Heaven's Secrets prying that had appeared frequently in the past had disappeared without a trace.    

    

Regarding this, Sun Bing's heart was filled with a trace of emotion. He secretly praised the power of the Black City. At the same time, he also became more and more certain that the force behind it was indeed very powerful.    

    

Although one month's time sounded like a long time, for a cultivator with such a cultivation base, it was only for an instant. Even a seclusion would require dozens or even hundreds of years.    

    

As for Sun Bing, he could only organize his harvest during this period of time. After that, he could rest for a few days and relax his mood.    

    

Truth be told, although the Black City did not have a great reputation, it still contained countless treasures. Even if swindlers ran amok, as long as they had outstanding eyesight, they would still be able to obtain a great harvest. At the very least, Sun Bing had benefited a lot from it.    

    

Just like this, under the circumstances of repairing the immortal shine Black City, the twenty-ninth day finally arrived. Sun Bing, who was in an inn within the Black City, suddenly opened his eyes.    

    

Then, the corners of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile as he slowly said, "Time has come so quickly. It seems like it's time to prepare."    

    

After all, there was still a day before the real auction began. However, he had to prepare for the early stages of the auction. Otherwise, his life might be in danger.    

    

If other people did not know about the identity of the servant hidden in the black linen robe, as well as the location of the servant, then it would be normal. However, the forces behind the Black City should have some sort of understanding.    

    

Even though the Black City had been abiding by the rules for the past several hundred years, and there had never been a single robbery that happened in the Black City, this was not the reason why Sun Bing had let down his guard.    

    

This was because even though he did not make a move in the past, it did not mean that he would not make a move in the future. It was very likely that he did not make a move in the past because of the treasures in other people's hands. It was simply not worth it for them to waste their reputation to make a move.    

    

However, it was different this time. All the treasures that appeared in the auction were rare treasures that only appeared once every countless years. Even a supreme being might be tempted by them. It was inevitable that the Black Pavilion wouldn't have any other thoughts.    

    

Therefore, even if the other party only had a one in ten-thousandth chance of getting rich, Sun Bing would not dare to bet on it. Therefore, it was impossible for him to be in the Black City and enter the auction.    

    

Sun Bing was not a disciple of the sect's Holy Land. There was no major power behind him. He could only rely on himself for everything. Most importantly, there were still people hunting him in the outside world.    

    

Therefore, after thinking for a month, Sun Bing shifted his gaze to the Hundred Thousand Mountains.    

    

At this moment, the Hundred Thousand Mountains had spread across the Nine Prefectures, occupying an endless amount of land. Moreover, the situation in the Nine Prefectures could be said to be the weirdest among all the mountains. Demonic Beast and the Ten Thousand Ancient Races were running amok in these mountains. There were also countless hidden secrets.    

    

Even though the sect's holy land had a strong foundation, it was still impossible for them to pry into the Hundred Thousand Mountains. To Sun Bing, who was alone, it was like a natural protective umbrella for level 1 warriors.    

    

Therefore, Sun Bing did not hesitate at all. He immediately walked towards the exit of the Black City. After leaving the city gate, he used the Earth Shrink and sped towards the Hundred Thousand Mountains.    

    

Sensing that he had already entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he took out the black linen cloth covering his body.    

    

But even so, Sun Bing's face wasn't real. After all, there were too many strange cultivation techniques and divine abilities in this world. Sun Bing had to be careful. Otherwise, if he wasn't careful, he might fall into an irrecoverable situation.    

    

With the use of the Earth Shrinking Technique, Sun Bing could travel hundreds of thousands of miles with every step he took. In an instant, he had entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Looking ahead, he could only see ancient trees that towered into the sky. The dense forest was emitting a decaying aura.    

    

At this moment, they had arrived at a place where there was hardly any human habitation. The weak didn't have the strength to come here. Only then did Sun Bing feel slightly relieved, but he still needed to find a hidden place.    

    

Fortunately, his hard work had paid off. In just half a day of searching, Sun Bing had already found a very hidden cave. It was incomparably deep, causing people to tremble in fear when they saw it. However, there wasn't a trace of fear in Sun Bing's heart. He slowly walked towards the cave.    

    

However, just as Sun Bing arrived at the entrance of the cave, two substance-like eyes fell upon him. When he raised his head, he was surprised to find two eyes the size of millstones looking at him coldly.    

    

With his extraordinary eyesight, Sun Bing found out that the thing hidden in the cave was a black water Profound Snake that was hundreds of meters long. It didn't emit any Qi from its body, but the Breath Convergence had reached its peak. It was no wonder that Sun Bing didn't notice anything wrong.    

    

When it found out that Sun Bing had invaded its territory, the Black Water Profound Snake in the cave became extremely angry. Without any hesitation, it lunged at Sun Bing, and the air was filled with a strong pressure.    

    

It was a pity that this snake had the bloodline of the Hook Snake, which allowed it to reach the level of a saint. Although it wasn't easy for it to reach the level of a saint, it shouldn't have provoked Sun Bing.    

    

Even though it was Son of God from the Hook Snake, Sun Bing had no fear of it. Furthermore, he was able to kill it completely, let alone an ant with a mottled bloodline.    

    

It didn't pose any threat to Sun Bing at all. In fact, Sun Bing didn't even use his longsword. The Sword Soul in his sea of consciousness trembled, and his eyes shone with the sharpest light.    

    

"Soul Extinguishing!"    

    

The two eyes turned into two Sword Soul and entered the sea of consciousness of the snake. The Sword Soul shook and unleashed the Sword Meaning, and it even completely shattered the snake's sea of consciousness.    

    

In the blink of an eye, the huge body fell heavily onto the ground, producing a dull sound. However, there was no longer any Qi left.    

    

After that, Sun Bing waved his hand, and the huge corpse vanished into the void in the blink of an eye, flowing into the endless spatial turbulence. Only at this point did Sun Bing nod his head in satisfaction.    

    

A flying sword suddenly appeared. The entire cave was covered by layers of sword formations. This formation was even several times more cautious than Sun Bing's seclusion.    

    

After all, this auction was too important. Even Sun Bing wouldn't have the slightest bit of carelessness.    

    

Time slowly passed. The night had passed in the blink of an eye. The thirtieth day had finally arrived. Sun Bing took out the black jade slip that was hidden in his hollow as promised.    

    

When he lowered his head, he could see that the black jade slip was glowing with a dim light of the level 1. Inscription after inscription seemed to be alive, continuously surging. Without a doubt, this represented... The last moment had arrived.    

    

Sun Bing took a deep breath and calmed his restless heart. After that, the black linen cloth appeared in his hand and covered his body.    

    

After that, he carefully instilled the Genuine Essence into the black jade piece. Then, he discovered that the originally dim jade piece... If it wasn't for the fact that he was in this cave, it would have been extremely dazzling.    

    

Then, one inscription after another left the black jade slip and began to circle in the air. Spatial fluctuations emerged and enveloped Sun Bing.    

    

Sun Bing's heart was filled with emotion when he saw the Great Dao of Space around him. He had never thought that the opponent would be able to control the Great Dao of Space so well. He was truly worthy of being called a great master. Even Sun Bing was far inferior to him.    

    

However, in an instant, Sun Bing, who was enveloped by the light, had disappeared from the cave. There wasn't even a trace of his Qi left.    

    

In fact, it wasn't just Sun Bing who was in the cave. In countless places in the Nine Prefectures, there were countless cultivators and even some alien races. Some of them were in the sect, some were in secret rooms, and some were in formations. In any case, they were all in places that he thought were absolutely safe.    

    

After using this piece of black jade, in just a short moment, one cultivator after another had already disappeared from where they originally were.
