The day of the trade arrived, and Solanky, disguised as the sealed being, went to meet the others at the core lands of the city near the residence of the city guard and protector. These beings were all at the mid-stage of the entity level, with the most powerful being the one Solanky took his identity from, as he was a renowned alchemist and craftsman who contributed to building the city's defense weapon. A spaceship appeared before them. Solanky was shocked because he didn't understand why they would use a spaceship, since at the entity level, their bodies alone could travel through collapsed spaces and cross timelines. At the entrance of the ship, a peak stage entity welcomed them and told them the location was right, but to get on the only authorized carriers like this ship, they had to be allowed to enter the trade space. They all looked at each other and boarded the ship to the destination of the trade, which was in a hidden space, which was also found in the same location as the memories of the sealed being. Inside the ship, the sense of the outside world was blocked from their senses, and only beings with a stronger spiritual sense and consciousness at the level of a saint, a venerable transcendent entity, could clearly detect the outside world and observe the route they took. Solanky smiled because with his spiritual sense and consciousness level, everything didn't escape his notice. He sat cross-legged quietly in the cabin with a cauldron before him, pretending to refine a pill with his eyes shut to avoid the conversations from other participants. The ship came to a halt, and the cabin doors opened with the peak stage entity beings standing at the entrance of the ship with some identity token, which indicated where they would sit during the trade. The beings on the ship began to get off the ship. Whenever they reached the peak stage entity, he handed over a token to them. When Solanky reached the entrance, the peak-stage entity sized him up. He warned Solanky to be careful and wary of his companions and other participants, as they would target him for being an alchemist. Alchemists always possessed extraordinary treasures or pills. Solanky thanked him, received the token, and scanned the peak entity. He realized the entity was at the early stages of this level. As he got out of the ship, he saw a huge continent suspended in space. Several whirlpools surrounded the continent. Several ships emerged from these whirlpools at different locations. All these ships were led by peak-stage entity-level beings. Solanky followed his group to the suspended continent. The continent seemed to have several residences built around a stone platform, which was several meters wide. Solanky took the token and activated it with his world energies. He was then directly teleported to his quarters, where he would stay for the trade. Inside his resting quarters, he sat cross-legged with his spiritual sense spread out in all directions, enveloping the entire living quarters. He closed his eyes to comprehend and create techniques using the crimson engravings in his consciousness as reference. "Everyone, welcome to the 61st-century trade. Get ready; the trade is about to begin," the transcendent saint protector said, and he paved the way for the early-stage transcendent saint emperor entity to make an entrance and officially begin the trade. The saint emperor removed the veil covering her face to reveal a beautifully crafted, smooth face, polished like a porcelain doll, which was made out of jade. She said in a soft yet commanding tone, "Everyone, today's trade begins now. If you want to make a purchase or exchange for something, just do it through your token, and the house will be noted? Remember, if any being violates the rules while we are still in this space, I don't mind wiping them out myself." When she said this, the arrogant ones who harbored ill intentions to swiftly attack others after the city, on their way out, restrained themselves. The first item to be auctioned was a blade forged by a powerful peak-stage entity craftsman. Solanky already had no interest in the items to be auctioned and sold, except for the spot to visit the desolate god sect. The blade was sold out for 100 blue entity life crystals. Blue entity life crystals are formed from the life essences of deceased or killed entities in the early stages of the entity level, the green ones are gotten from mid-stage entities, and the red ones are gotten from peak-stage entities. Prior to the trade, Solanky, using the position of an alchemist, exchanged for information on the currency of this region of the beyond realm and found out that entity life crystals were a universal currency used in the beyond realm. He had exchanged pills he refined for thousands of red entity life crystals. The pills he offered were beneficial to peak-stage entities in this city. Such pills were sought after by mid-stage entities looking to break through to that realm, and peak-stage entities benefited the most from such pills. On the auction grounds, exchanges and purchases of treasures were ongoing. The saint emperor cleared her throat and said, "From now on, all the treasures and pills you see are valuable products that are suitable for peak-stage entities, so get your crystals ready. If you don't have enough, don't worry; you can exchange valuables for what you want." After she said that the space was in an uproar, moments later, a fragrant perfume permeated the space, and all the beings present were astonished and refreshed. The saint emperor officiator closed the box which contained the pill, and cut-off the fragrance which filled space and said, "this pill was provided to us by a master of alchemy; even I cannot find even flaws with these pills this alchemist's provided I must say if they weren't added later on to the list, it would have been our top 3 list for this century's auction and trade. It would start from 50 red entity crystals per pill." The participants hearing this were shocked because they knew that the remark of a saint emperor held much weight, and the price, if they were not added later, would have cost twice the amount stated. They all secretly made arrangements for their clans' shared resources because such opportunities were very rare to come by. And from today's trades, only these pills had the recognition of the saint emperor, meaning they were much more valuable than they looked. The saint emperor sighed inwardly and said to herself, "These pills are the most precious and mysterious item I have seen so far today, aside from the transcendent grass of eternity. Who is that mysterious middle-stage entity being? Why is he so calm and seemingly unbothered by the treasures on the list? Could it be that he is coveting the slot in the desolate god region or realm? After the trade, I have to follow him in the shadows to find out who he is." Because my beings coveted these pills, an auction was made, and they were later sold for 200 red entity crystals per pill. Solanky was bewildered because he never thought the pills he casually refined could cost this much, and with red crystals, he could purchase a nice, spacious cave if he were a normal peak-stage entity and cultivated there, or grow special plants or rare special beast lifeforms. On the platform, the officiator standing in the center of the platform waved her hand, and a blade that looked like Excalibur appeared before her. She grabbed the blade and swung towards the empty space above her, and instantly, seven hundred blade energies appeared in the space, cleaving the space away like it was paper. She placed the blade in its scabbard and said, "This blade was crafted by a saint, a venerable, transcendent entity. It draws upon the realm's energies to deliver a devastating blow. The bidding price starts at 500 red entity crystals." Solanky activated his observational eye technique and knew that although it was crafted by a venerable saint transcendent entity, it had too many flaws in its crafting process, so it could only deliver strikes at the saint entity level. He relaxed and observed the bid as it slowly climbed to 3500 red entity life crystals until it was sold off to the highest bidder. Solanky sighed inwardly and said, "Although it can be as their clan's treasure, it is also a death trap for him, as those greedy ones would do anything to get the treasure." The officiator said, "The next item is the slot token to the desolate god region. I believe you all know the value of this slot. Its starting price is 5000 red entity life crystals."
