David ignored him, his expression calm and unwavering. His gray robe touched the ground as he walked easily and calmly, as if he was walking casually into a vast underground cave.
The ridicule, speculation, and criticism from the outside world seemed to him like a gentle breeze, unable to cause the slightest ripple in his mind.
Having experienced battles in the lower realms, conflicts between realms, and enlightenment through mirror images, his Dao heart had long been as solid as immortal rock, and he no longer cared about the shallow views and narrow judgments of worldly cultivators.
Because Xuanzhenzi and Jiang Xuelan did not have entry tokens, they could only stop at the outer area of the trade fair and wait quietly, watching David walk alone to the core area where influential people gathered.
As soon as they entered the cave, layer after layer of high pressure hit them.
Countless, mighty, vast, and domineering Great Luo God powers crisscrossed and intertwined, filling the entire space, every breath filled with the weight of time and accumulated cultivation.
The cultivators coming and going looked elegant and calm, their every movement exuding the calm demeanor of seasoned experts. They gathered in groups of three or five in front of the various competition stages, discussing, appraising treasures, and exchanging them for equivalent value.
All eyes were focused on the rare spiritual materials and ancient treasures in the display cases, and no one noticed the gray-robed young man who entered through the entrance.
As David slowly stepped deeper, a rather thin figure with a seemingly weak aura moved among the group of powerful Grand Luo cultivators, instantly looking out of place.
Like a plain, unadorned blue stone, mistakenly placed among a dazzling array of pearls and jade, it appeared striking, sudden, and insignificant.
“Who is it? A ninth grade Gold Immortal?”
“Hahaha, now anyone can enter a major trade fair? A junior Golden Immortal dares to roam here?”
“He might not be aware of his own limitations and had stolen a family elder’s heirloom to broaden his horizons. He might not even be able to withstand the pressure of a Grand Luo expert and would embarrass himself in public.”
Soft whispers rose and fell, carried slowly by the air currents.
Countless gazes swept over, carrying ridicule, disdain, ridicule, and indifference.
All the cultivators present were far superior to David in cultivation level, at least in the third rank of the Great Luo realm, and their years of cultivation far exceeded David’s, their foundations seemed to be completely different.
In the eyes of influential veterans who had honed their skills across space for tens of thousands of years, David was just a novice who was just starting out. He had low cultivation, shallow foundation, and no intimidating strength. He was completely unfit to stand in this high-end trading arena.
Despite receiving glares and mocking comments from all directions, David’s expression remained unchanged.
He didn’t look up, glance to the side, linger, or offer any explanation. His purple eyes were calm and indifferent, and his steps were steady and calm, ignoring all teasing and scrutiny.
The shallow prejudices of the weak and the constraints of worldly hierarchies could never bind his true heart.
Having climbed the ladder of success in the secular world through bloodshed and war, he had long been accustomed to beating the strong with the weak and turning the tables against all odds, and had long become indifferent to the rigid judgments of all cultivation levels in the world.
Others judged people based on their cultivation level, but he only determined their status based on their own Dao heart, their own combat power, and their own Dao.
His divine sense spread out quietly, like an invisible and boundless vast net, silently covering the entire hundred zhang long cave.
The spiritual energy fluctuations, original characteristics, law patterns, and ages of countless treasures were all clearly reflected in his perception, appearing in the smallest details without missing anything.
His goal was extremely pure, consisting of only one thing—the Xuan Tian Soul Severing Jade.
This is the only treasure that can temporarily protect the soul lamp restriction of the Haotian God Clan. This is the key to the next plan, breaking the shackles, and disrupting the game. All other rare spiritual materials and ancient treasures were not worthy of his attention.
In the time it takes an incense stick to burn, David slowly walked past countless display cases, past thousands of treasures, ignoring the strange gazes of many cultivators, and finally stopped in front of a display case in the deepest and most remote corner of the cave.
This area is sparsely populated and relatively quiet, much quieter and less lively than the central exhibition area, but very much to David’s taste.
This booth is made from a single piece of thousand-year-old basalt, the entire surface is pitch black like ink, the texture is heavy, the patterns are ancient, and it has a weathered feel that comes with the passage of time.
On the table, three ancient artifacts were quietly displayed. In the center is a gray-white square jade, warm and smooth, with soft and restrained light. It was the Xuan Tian Soul Severing Jade that he had been looking for.
The jade object was about half a palm in size, with a faint halo flowing on its surface. Subtle patterns, like trapped clouds and smoke, slowly moved and circulated within the jade object.
It had no dazzling spiritual light, no domineering pressure, and its aura was unique and strange. It is not spiritual power, nor the origin, nor the Great Dao, but an extremely pure isolation barrier.
It can forcibly cut off the detection of the divine soul, block the locking of laws, and isolate the marks of all heavens.
These characteristics alone are enough to prove that the true identity is true.
