The Cloud Heaven Pavilion, like the auction hall, is located in the northern part of the city. It is also a four-story building, constructed entirely from Flower Stone Rock and adorned with various cloud carvings and decorative elements, giving it a grand yet refined appearance.

Before entering the Cloud Heaven Pavilion, one must pass through an elongated courtyard flanked by rows of rockeries and green lakes.

Sandalwood burns slowly in the courtyard, and in the green lakes, blue lotuses bloom, emitting a Spiritual Aura, further enhancing the elegance of the entire Cloud Heaven Pavilion.

Once past these, you arrive at the main building of the trading conference.

Along the way, Ye Jingcheng saw many cultivators. Some wore Spirit-Blocking Robes featuring distinctive sea domain characteristics, while others wore the usual Daoist Robes, arriving casually.

Since Ye Jingcheng intended to expose himself a little, he didn't wear a full Spirit-Blocking Robe, opting only for a Spirit-Blocking Mask.

Although people could not clearly see his face, they could still observe his aura and cultivation level.

Unexpectedly, during this trip, he also encountered his fourth brother, Ye Jingyu.

Ye Jingyu is currently the public Sect Leader of the Purple Wood Sect.

Despite the changes in appearance, Ye Jingcheng had seen Ye Jingyu's likeness on the Jade Talisman, and his cultivation matched that of the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, aligning perfectly.

Although they recognized each other, neither spoke, exchanging only brief glances.

In this regard, neither Ye Jingyu nor Ye Jingcheng would have issues. However, if it had been Ye Jingyong or Ye Jingli, the situation might have been different. While there might not be immediate problems, it could raise potential suspicions.

Upon reaching the main courtyard and settling into his seat, Ye Jingcheng chose a position near the entrance, a bit distant from Ye Jingyu, allowing him to observe the entire trading conference with his peripheral vision.

The trading conference was extremely lively, with numerous cultivators in attendance. At a glance, Ye Jingcheng estimated over two hundred people, and it wouldn't be surprising if the number reached three hundred once the room filled up.

This indicated that the power of the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain was indeed slightly stronger than that of the Yan Kingdom.

After all, this was merely one of the sea domain's archipelagos, with numerous loose cultivators and other cultivators active in the Outer Sea, obtaining a token virtually requiring a starting point at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Furthermore, many people matched those described on the Jade Talisman given by Ye Haicheng to Ye Jingcheng, including prominent sect elders and leaders.

Ye Jingcheng considered this and understood that the major sect leaders from the Celestial Cloud Islands were likely to attend this event.

Given the sparse mortal population in the sea domain, these sects aimed to grow by acquiring mortals and absorbing some loose cultivators.

Unlike the Yan Kingdom, where dangers might be even greater, the rate at which cultivators were consumed here would be faster as well.

Moreover, supplementing the numbers was challenging.

The replenished loose cultivators could serve as new expendable forces.

Meanwhile, they maintained their respective core strengths.

Thinking along these lines, Ye Jingcheng speculated that the Celestial Horse Sea Domain and the Cyan Cloud Sea Domain likely had many mortal inheritances. As long as mortals possessed Spirit Roots, they would almost never be overlooked.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many loose cultivators forging ahead, only to be swallowed by the ocean waves.

Much like the path of cultivation, there would always be those who fall along the way, while those who follow continue onward, driven by the vision of precedents.

As long as there are precedents, those who follow won't feel they will fall on their path of cultivation.

The Yun Family's power on Celestial Cloud Island was evidently strong, with arriving cultivators not only from the Celestial Cloud Islands but also from the other six archipelagos.

This made Ye Jingcheng look forward to the trading conference.

Yet, upon further reflection, this trading conference preceding the auction might aim to encourage cultivators to spend more Spirit Stones in Celestial One City on Celestial Cloud Island.

At the same time, it would make the auction more lively.

They might even investigate what the cultivators lacked beforehand and auction those items, making a substantial profit.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Jingcheng noted down these observations, considering their potential future use for the Ye Family. For now, he began to await the start of the trading conference.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Celestial Cloud Island trading conference. I am Yun Fusheng. I believe you have been eagerly anticipating this conference, held every five years. I won't waste words. The trading conference will proceed through bartering, with each person allowed to present up to three treasures and state their desired exchanges."

"With each successful deal, the Yun Family will take a hundred Spirit Stones as commission!"

"Moreover, the Yun Family guarantees your safety on Celestial Cloud Island. As you know about the Yun Family's Mountain Spirit, don't harbor any false hopes!" The spokesman was an elderly man with whitening hair and beard.

As he spoke, the words "Celestial Cloud" resonated once again in everyone's hearts.

This display of intimidation commanded respect, even from Ye Jingcheng.

However, he understood that this was merely a Secret Technique of Transmission, albeit cloaked with the term "Mountain Spirit."

And possessing a Stone Spirit, he only held a slight apprehension of such special abilities.

After briefly explaining the rules, Yun Fusheng took out three Jade Boxes from his bosom.

He then quickly unveiled the first Jade Box.

A Fragment of a Diagram appeared inside the Jade Box.

"In the first Jade Box is one of the Spirit Diagrams of the Five Elements Palace, belonging to the True Monarch of Five Elements!"

"The renown of the True Monarch of Five Elements needs no further explanation by me!" The elderly man stated.

Upon hearing this, the entire trading conference was thrown into shock.

Ye Jingcheng was naturally included among the astonished.

The name of the True Monarch of Five Elements resounded throughout the Eastern Domain Countries and the East Sea Cultivation Realm.

He was the first Independent Cultivator True Monarch to achieve such a status using the Five Elements True Skill, and at the peak of his power, he could contend with five equally ranked experts simultaneously without faltering, showcasing his formidable talent.

Rumors also suggested he was not originally a bearer of Five Spirit Roots but later cultivated the Five Elements Technique, transforming into Five Spirit Roots.
