"This matter concerns the transformation into divine consciousness; this initial sainthood mission must be completed."

Xu Yun's eyes were firm, and he clenched his fists. He could accept failure in other initial saint missions, but not this one.

It should be understood that once he develops divine consciousness, it means that he has already passed the Foundation Establishment stage ahead of time, giving him a much higher probability of successfully establishing his foundation than other cultivators.

Faced with such a huge temptation, Xu Yun simply could not ignore it.

With this in mind, Xu Yun immediately began to think about and plan the robbery of goods. The information on routes and personnel deployment given to him by Wen Xinlan made the arrangements much easier for him.

As for whether doing this would betray Wen Xinlan's trust, Xu Yun never considered it from the beginning.

"Manager Wen, it's not that I've wronged you, it's that this Primordial Saint System has ruined you!"

Xu Yun sincerely sighed, "If the Initial Saint System hadn't forced me to accept such an irresistible reward, I wouldn't have set my sights on Wen Xinlan's shipment."

All I can say is that if the other party has any complaints, they should blame the Initial Saint System; it has absolutely nothing to do with me.

With this in mind, Xu Yun felt completely at ease and devised a series of complete and effective plundering strategies to ensure that he could fulfill the requirements of the Initial Saint System.

Time passed quickly, and five days had gone by.

During this period, Xu Yun left letters for his two sworn brothers and prepared some strategic resources in advance to avoid any accidents on the way.

When the appointed time arrived, Xu Yun left his cave dwelling and headed towards Tianhe Tower.

"Fellow Daoist Xu has arrived. I will have to ask you for help on this trip."

Inside Tianhe Tower, Wen Xinlan had already arranged for a temporary manager to run the shop.

She herself was standing with a dozen or so cultivators, talking about something, when she saw Xu Yun arrive, a smile appeared on her face.

"Manager Wen, you're too kind. I'm just hitching a ride. Please give me your guidance."

Xu Yun looked at the others and already knew they were the cultivators on this escort mission, so he immediately cupped his hands in a salute.

At the same time, he was also thinking about how to kill them more easily and conveniently on the way to escort the goods, seize the goods, and not reveal his true identity.

After all, Xu Yun still needed the Class C honorific status of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce to seek benefits and resource channels for himself, and Wen Xinlan was also one of the targets he could not touch, which made him feel somewhat troubled.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xu."

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you are too kind. Please give me your guidance."

Soon, voices came from the cultivators who were escorting the goods, some with smiles on their faces, and others with indifference.

Clearly, some of them knew about the recent turmoil and that Xu Yun and others had forced their sworn brother Shi Han to support them. After being firmly rejected, they broke off relations with him without hesitation and didn't even attend his friend's wedding.

As righteous cultivators, they value friendship and reputation above all else. However, the actions of Xu Yun and others undoubtedly made many people feel ashamed.

However, some people knew about the terrifying strength Xu Yun displayed when he was attacked by demonic cultivators at Tianhe Tower that day, and that he was on good terms with a first-grade alchemist, so they believed that he still had some potential to befriend.

Xu Yun naturally didn't know or care about what these cultivators were thinking. In any case, he had already made up his mind that if any of these cultivators dared to obstruct his looting of goods, they would only face certain death.

"Alright everyone, it's time to head to Tiantuo City."

Just then, Wen Xinlan came out, called out to the crowd, and led the group of cultivators on their journey to Tiantuo City.

Wen Xinlan attached great importance to this escort mission, so she found cultivators who were all skilled in their own way. At the very least, they were all at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and some of them had even reached the late-stage of Qi Refining.

Even if they encountered some demonic beasts along the way, they could easily kill them and travel smoothly without any obstacles. No foolish cultivators would target their group.

The group trekked through mountains and rivers, rushing towards Tiantuo City.

Time slipped by quietly, and a month later...

Xu Yun followed the others and leaped out from a dense forest. During the brief moment of airtime, he saw the majestic city looming in the distance.

As Xu Yun and his group drew closer, the majestic city was soon fully revealed before them, eliciting gasps of amazement.

The walls of this majestic city were made entirely of an unknown material, which gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen under the blazing sun, appearing incredibly sturdy just by looking at them.

Moreover, the city walls are inscribed with intricate and mysterious array patterns, which intertwine and connect to form a huge, ever-flowing light curtain, on which the totem of the celestial sun faintly emerges, covering the entire city.

This formation, in terms of both scale and the aura it exudes, far surpasses the second-tier high-grade formation in Mofeng City, truly a sight Xu Yun has never seen before.

"This is probably the legendary third-tier formation."

Xu Yun murmured to himself, feeling utterly shocked. According to the records he had seen, a third-order formation was comparable to a Core Formation cultivator, and even in the entire Yuan Kingdom, there were not many forces that possessed it.

Tian Tuo City is one of the forces that possesses a third-order formation. It is even said that a Core Formation Realm expert is behind it. Even when Yuan Tian Sect and Tian Ming Palace clashed, it remained as stable as Mount Tai, deterring other villains.

It can only be said that Tiantuo City truly deserves its reputation as one of the top cities in the Yuan Kingdom. In particular, the upcoming grand auction held every fifty years has attracted the attention of many cultivators.

Buzz!

Looking around, Xu Yun saw that outside Tiantuo City, in addition to their group, there were also caravans and groups of independent cultivators forming a long line, queuing to enter Tiantuo City.

At the same time, streaks of light flew over, but instead of entering Tian Tuo City directly, they slowly descended. As the light faded, powerful figures were revealed from within.

These figures were all Foundation Establishment cultivators, who would be considered important figures elsewhere, capable of establishing their own sects and receiving the respect of countless people.

However, at this moment, these Foundation Establishment cultivators seemed to have no shame whatsoever, and like ordinary people, they began to form a long queue.

Even though some Qi Refining cultivators bowed respectfully to him, his situation was still beyond Xu Yun's imagination. It was easy to imagine how powerful Tian Tuo City's reputation was. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators dared not violate the slightest taboo and could only obediently queue up.

"The grand auction held in Tiantuo City every fifty years is indeed a major event in the cultivation world of Yuan Kingdom. Not only are there Foundation Establishment cultivators, but even some Core Formation forces have come after hearing the news. It can be said that they have given it a grand show."

Even though Wen Xinlan came from a Foundation Establishment family and had a broader perspective and more knowledge than ordinary cultivators, she couldn't help but show surprise at this moment.

Then, streaks of light flew across the sky, their momentum immense, and strange phenomena emerged, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Upon closer inspection, one could see carriages pulled by rare and exotic beasts among the streaks of light, as well as jade ruyi scepters shimmering with layers of clear light and incomparably sharp flying swords.

Clearly, the true forms of these streaks of light were no ordinary people; they were successors of various Core Formation forces, immediately attracting the attention of Tiantuo City.

Some law enforcement cultivators even invited them in with utmost respect, their treatment and courtesy far surpassing that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, making countless people extremely envious.
