Yang Zhenshan learned about the three methods to ascend to the authority position. He then conducted a resource exchange with the Five-tailed Vicious and later with Lin Qihe, who brought news from Hengshan Sect. Lin Qihe revealed that Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion identified Treasure True Monarch as the killer of Longevity True Monarch, a revelation that surprised Yang Zhenshan.

"Does the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion have any other actions?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

If it were someone else, he would just enjoy watching the commotion.

But since it involves the Zhongli Family, he has to pay more attention.

Zhongli Xiayi once helped him, and Zhongli Yue guided him before. Moreover, over the years, the Yang family has cooperated very well with the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, mutually exchanging resources and benefiting greatly. And the premise of all this is because of Zhongli Yue’s presence at Taoyuan Mountain.

Whether for friendship or for profit, Yang Zhenshan has to stand on the side of the Zhongli Family.

"No, I heard that True Monarch Huagai found the culprit. While investigating the murderer of True Monarch Yuan Chen, he accidentally discovered a magic artifact once used by Longevity True Monarch! Then, as the investigation continued, it was discovered that this magic artifact came from the Ten Thousand Treasures Store." Lin Qihe smiled faintly.

Yang Zhenshan, after hearing this, didn’t know what to say.

Unexpectedly, this matter is actually related to them.

If it wasn’t for them killing True Monarch Yuan Chen, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion wouldn’t have investigated, and the result is that the pavilion didn’t find the murderer of True Monarch Yuan Chen but found clues to Longevity True Monarch instead.

Fate truly works in mysterious ways.

"Disciples from the Hengshan Sect think the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will not let it go easily and is likely to go to war with the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect! However, there are others who believe the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect will not break off completely with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; after all, the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect values harmonious wealth creation!"

"Currently, there is a lot of speculation about this matter in the Central Domain, rumors are flying everywhere, and it’s hard to distinguish truth from falsehood." Lin Qihe stated.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly; this situation is within reason.

Both the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect are top forces, and although the entire Wanhua Domain is currently in strife, there is still a tacit understanding among the Heavenly Constitution Road and the four top forces. No conflicts have erupted between them.

If these two forces go to war, the impact on the entire Wanhua Domain would be enormous, likely dragging it into the depths of warfare.

At that point, it won’t just be strife; it will be a world war.

As long as the Heavenly Constitution Road does not enter the fray personally, the war between the two top forces will inevitably affect the entire Wanhua Domain.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhenshan furrowed his brow.

Heavenly Constitution Road!

What are they up to?

In a power struggle, the Heavenly Constitution Road should be the most anxious.

The Heavenly Canon Daoist Master is about to lose his authority; doesn’t he want to continue wielding it?

Surely he does, but he probably can’t continue to do so.

But what about his followers?

The Heavenly Constitution Road isn’t just the Heavenly Canon Daoist Master; it’s important to know that the Heavenly Constitution Road is also a large and powerful force, even without the Heavenly Canon Daoist Master, its power stands above the four top forces.

But the Heavenly Constitution Road has always been very low-key, rarely seen in public.

This gives people the impression that the Wanhua Central Domain only has the four top forces, and few pay attention to the actions of the Heavenly Constitution Road.

Doesn’t the Heavenly Constitution Road want to participate in the power struggle?

Logically, they should be the most active, but why is there no movement from them?

Yang Zhenshan is somewhat puzzled, mainly because he doesn’t know much about the Heavenly Constitution Road.

...

The Ten Thousand Treasures Sect is located in the western part of the Central Domain, and its sect headquarters is a city called Wanbao Immortal City.

Outside Wanbao Immortal City, Spirit Jade City stands a hundred feet tall, with walls embedded with star crystal shards that reflect glazed light by day and twinkle like stars at night, like a galaxy fallen to the earth.

The city gate, made of mystical iron mixed with red copper, has the words "Ten Thousand Treasures" engraved in gilt, with runes flowing around the words; on the side of the gate is a stone carving of a qilin, holding a Luminous Pearl in its mouth, shedding gentle light day and night. The moat around the city shimmers with Spiritual Mist, floating colorful lotus lamps, reflecting golden shadows.

In the sky, Cloud Boats weave back and forth, their sails embroidered with sect emblems, jade bells hang from their hulls; spiritual birds carry treasure boxes in flight, trailing mist; floating in the clouds are suspended buildings, the corners of which hang Treasure Identification Bells, their clear sounds spreading across half the city when the wind blows.

Wanbao City is also the foremost Immortal City in the Central Domain, with its Inner City being the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect, and its main street is called Wanbao Street, a street that truly holds ten thousand treasures.

On both sides of the street are numerous shops, some displaying streaming flow magic artifacts, others showcasing millennium spiritual materials. Every shop has many third-stage Spiritual Objects.

Sometimes you can even find traces of Void Spiritual Objects here.

The phrase "A city hiding ten thousand treasures, shining with immortal brilliance day and night" describes the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect.

The outer city of Wanbao City also gathers millions of cultivators, including Foundation Establishment Cultivators and even some Golden Core Cultivators.

Other numbers are hard to account for, but the outer city of Wanbao Immortal City has five Immortal Clans, meaning there are five Golden Core Families in the outer city.

These Immortal Clans are considered vassals of the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect; although they haven’t joined the sect, they work for the Ten Thousand Treasures Store. Many among them serve as Guest Elders of the store.

Nevertheless, the core of the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect is the Hundred Realms Cave Heaven.

What is the Hundred Realms Cave Heaven?

One cave heaven is one realm; the Hundred Realms refer to one hundred cave heavens connected together.

Of course, although the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect is immensely wealthy, it doesn’t possess one hundred cave heavens; it has only thirteen cave heavens.

The largest of these is the Hundred Realms Cave Heaven, with the other twelve surrounding it, connected by Pocket World Gates, forming a realm composed of multiple cave heavens.

The term "Hundred Realms" is somewhat exaggerated, but having thirteen cave heavens is enough to prove the Ten Thousand Treasures Sect’s wealth and capability.

Among the twelve cave heavens is one called Zhongli Heaven, which is specifically for the Zhongli Family.

On the gentle clouds above, the breeze casually kneads the white mist, with a rosy glow piercing through the clouds, falling before a palace gate as if made of white jade.
