The news of many top Dao Rhythm items appearing in the Black Tortoise Immortal Domain and being auctioned off by Huangfu Clan spread faster than a plague throughout the Immortal Domain.

 

No faction, group, or power could stay calm.

 

And there was one more thing that blew their minds, the appearance of an enigmatic existence out of the blue.

 

He supplied all of these Dao Rhythm items, by himself.

 

The rumors pained him as a supreme being of unspeakable power, an enigma to the world.

 

He even had Wu Ming under him, the Sumeru Immortal Domain’s ex-Domain Lord from thirty thousand years ago.

 

What’s more, this supreme enigma could revive people. He controlled life and death, something no Domain Lord could ever achieve.

 

It was utter madness, upping every common sense.

 

Of course none believed that crap!

 

Nevertheless, there had been witnesses to this godlike power, the immortals that intercepted Wu Ming’s group.

 

They saw the skill’s true power and could vouch for its validity.

 

Wu Ming died that day, only to come back among the living.

 

The rumors could only have started from them.

 

All of the Immortal Domain stirred from shock and awe.

 

They had nothing but curiosity for Wu Ming’s Lord. Just who was he?

 

It was something Wu Ming chose to keep a secret. He believed his Lord’s seclusion in the Nine Province Continent was for him to remain hidden.

 

Wu Ming didn’t have to say anything, for many bits and pieces slipped out of the Huangfu Clan anyway.

 

The supreme enigma was indeed hiding in the Lower Realms, on Nine Province Continent. His power was unimaginable, a giant among giants. His title was Absolute Dominator.

 

As for the validity of these rumors, there was none who confirmed or denied them. This did not, however, assuage them for feeling afraid of Chen Changan.

 

Jiang Yuchan, the scion of Jiang Clan, the strongest clan in the Black Tortoise Immortal Domain, had encountered this supreme enigma on Nine Province Continent.

 

But after catching a whiff of his Chaotic Divine Scent and took him to be Dark Ages’ Awakened Demon Lord, she fled for her life.

 

Her gorgeous presence was currently requested in the clan’s hall, to discuss with her elders.

 

Her gaze was empty, however, for her mind was elsewhere.

 

The elders were worried and grave, for the only topic of debate as of late was regarding Huangfu Clan’s auction and the supreme enigma.

 

Jiang Clan trumped over Huangfu Clan, but with the sudden introduction of this variable, Huangfu Clan found itself a backer.

 

For them to surpass Jiang Clan was only a matter of time and take their place as the strongest clan in the Black Tortoise Immortal Domain.

 

Huangfu Clan threatened their status, something they wanted to avoid.

 

“No matter how much it costs, we have to win all the Dao Rhythm items at the auction!”

 

“Hear! The Dao Rhythm items will help our clan bring up more peak experts and deter Huangfu Clan’s rise!”

 

Another elder sighed. “Huangfu Clan won’t make it any easier for us to outbid them. Especially when it comes to top Dao Rhythm items, a truly hot topic.”

 

“True, then there’s this rumor going about that this is only the first batch, soon to be followed by many more Dao Rhythm items. Can anyone vouch for it?”

 

“Not even a Dao Saint can pull off so many Dao Rhythm items. I, for one, refuse to believe it!”

 

“Ha-ha, refuse? You know as well as everyone how powerful that supreme enigma is. Nine Immortal Lords and one Immortal Emperor witnessed Wu Ming being brought back to life. He was once Sumeru Immortal Domain’s Domain Lord yet saw with his own eyes as his flesh stitched back and life was breathed into his corpse.”

 

“Right! With such godlike power, a couple of Dao Rhythm items is nothing for the supreme enigma.”

 

“I can’t believe that revival is possible in this world.”

 

“Blast it! Why couldn’t our clan have been fortunate to have met with him first?”

 

“Is it true he’s hiding in the Nine Province Continent?”

 

“Humph, a clear lie if I ever heard one. His power must be out of this world. If nothing else, the Lower Realm’s principles won’t allow his presence.”

 

“Didn’t Yuchan take a trip there recently?”

 

All eyes focused on Jiang Yuchan at her mention.

 

“Yuchan, what do you think?”

 

She woke up from her thoughts and noticed the elders’ looks. Her eyes darted around, despite keeping a straight face.

 

“Elders, I do not have a clear grasp of Nine Province Continent’s situation. I only went to look for the Everlasting Immortal Fruit, then came back.”

 

“True.”

 

“Why would anyone waste time in those barren realms?”

 

The elders resumed their debate on how to deal with Huangfu Clan and get the Dao Rhythm items at the auction.

 

Jiang Yuchan sighed to herself, feeling conflicted and distressed.

 

The first time she heard the rumors, her mind snapped to Chen Changan. The possessor of the Undying Demon Body, the Awakened Demon Lord.

 

He was hiding in the Lower Realms and she was the only one who knew this truth. [Now that he sent his lackey to Black Tortoise Immortal Domain, is he planning on expanding his reach to the endless Immortal Domains?]

 

As the Awakened Demon Lord, she believed there would be no room to compromise. His hiding in the Lower Realm was only temporary.

 

But she was astonished that he’d make his move so soon.

 

She wished nothing more than to tell her clan about him, but there’s this little matter about a Dao Vow.

 

The minute she tried talking, death would take her.

 

This was the source of her conflict, of her distress. She was meant to carry this huge secret to her grave.

 

In her opinion, the Jiang Clan was better off not going at the Dao Rhythm items auction, and stau as far as possible from anything that had to do with that Awakened Demon Lord.
