Xu Zimei expressed his intent to destroy the world and rebuild, unsettling Zhu Yunlong. Xu Zimei then revealed his desire to forge a "Heaven Challenging Heavy Weapon" for his blade technique that emphasizes dominance and weight, unlike the True Martial Great Emperor's focus on sharpness. He sought heavy artifact refining materials, leading Zhu Yunlong to suggest the Ancient Tower, a place for trading ancient items from the Divine Ruins, backed by the Myriad Immortals Alliance. Inside, the Ancient Tower revealed itself to be a seemingly ordinary building concealing a vast, folded space.

Upon hearing Zhu Yunlong's explanation, Xu Zimei could figure it out too.

The ancient tower outside was not important at all.

Only the transmission space inside was the core.

Whether it was for escaping or capturing, this transmission space was the most convenient.

After all, stealing things from god tombs was risky.

If the Divine Race came after them, they wouldn't even be able to resist.

After entering the ancient tower, Xu Zimei began to observe his surroundings.

There were indeed some old items here.

Some of them were even freshly unearthed, with the soil still not dry.

Zhu Yunlong briefly introduced a few famous items nearby.

"This is a jade pendant left by the Seventh Generation Vast Divine King, said to contain restrictions."

"You know, having restrictions proves there's something inside."

"No one has opened the restrictions?" Xu Zimei asked.

"It can be opened, but it's unnecessary," Zhu Yunlong replied.

"Before it's opened, it can be sold at a high price because there's always someone willing to bet on the chance that there's some secret of the Divine Race, or their cultivation technique inside."

"But once opened, if the contents are of little value, the whole jade pendant would be ruined."

Xu Zimei understood this principle.

Merchants needed to maximize profits, and once the item was hyped up, truth or falsehood didn't matter anymore.

Moving forward, Xu Zimei saw a black altar.

"The tomb of the Thirty-third Divine Monarch, this is the Myriad Things Altar, said to contain its own space, capable of holding people and objects, and containing the three energies of Yin, Wind, and Thunder."

"Anyone sucked into the altar would turn into pus within a short while."

Zhu Yunlong said, "But the interior of this altar is damaged, so it might be very difficult to use it again."

After circling around the ancient tower.

Xu Zimei found that the ancient items inside, those of the Divine King and Divine Monarch, were very scarce.

Fewer than five items in total.

One should know this ancient tower was already the largest antiquities market in the Underground World, yet there were still so few good ancient items.

Xu Zimei thought about it and could understand.

These people mostly only operated in the outer areas of the Divine Ruins.

As for the tombs of the Divine King and Divine Monarch, they rarely entered.

Occasionally getting their hands on one or two items was already extremely difficult.

"Sir, is there anything you need?" Zhu Yunlong asked.

Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.

Then he pointed at the Myriad Things Altar and said, "Although I haven't had much luck, this item could be bought as a toy."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunlong's expression changed.

The value of this Myriad Things Altar was not low!

He originally wanted to win Xu Zimei over, to pull him in more.

If Xu Zimei liked anything in the ancient tower, he would buy it for him.

But this Myriad Things Altar he couldn't afford!

The item of a Divine Monarch had been in the ancient tower for many years, and no one could exchange anything equivalent to take it.

Mainly because there was no equivalent item to exchange with.

As a result, the Myriad Things Altar gradually became one of the signature items in the ancient tower.

Many people came here wanting to see these signature items.

First, it was the Divine King's jade pendant, now it's the Divine Monarch's altar.

Seeing Zhu Yunlong at a loss for words, Xu Zimei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't mean for you to pay."

He walked to the Myriad Things Altar and waved his right hand.

He called over a maid from the ancient tower.

He said, "I want to buy this Myriad Things Altar, call your person in charge over."

Hearing this, the maid was a bit surprised.

She had been here for a while; she was more aware of the value of this Myriad Things Altar than anyone else.

However, she didn't dare to look down on anyone.

She quickly replied, "Honored guest, please wait a moment, I will call the supervisor immediately."

Before long, a man in a dark gray long gown and high boots, with a serious look, walked over.

"Honored guest, I am Sun Feng, the person in charge of this ancient tower. May I know what you need?"

The man's voice was calm, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

Xu Zimei smiled.

He said, "I want to exchange for this Myriad Things Altar."

"What does the honored guest intend to use for the exchange?" Sun Feng hesitated for a moment and then asked.

After all, this Myriad Things Altar was not an ordinary ancient item.

"I'm preparing to go to the Divine Ruins tomorrow. If you want ancient items from any tomb there, I can bring them back for exchange," Xu Zimei said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Sun Feng was stunned.

Then he looked at Xu Zimei with a curious look.

He replied, "So, the honored guest currently does not have any ancient items for the exchange?"

"If that's the case, then please return to exchange for the Myriad Things Altar after you come back from the Divine Ruins."

"Manager Sun, is this guy trying to get something for nothing?" A young man walked over, laughing exaggeratedly.

He was dressed in magnificent clothing, holding a folding fan, with a group of young men and women following behind him.

As soon as this young man approached, Zhu Yunlong's expression changed slightly.

"Wei Tian, what are you doing here?" Zhu Yunlong asked with a harsh tone.

"What, is this ancient tower owned by Young Master Zhu?" the young master called Wei Tian sneered.

He and Zhu Yunlong were both Divine Sons of the Earth Divine Auction House, so they were completely in competition.

Because one era of the Earth Divine Auction House's resources could only nurture one Immortal.

Therefore, between the two of them, one would inevitably be eliminated.

Because of this harsh selection, they were always in conflict.

"Young Master Zhu, you've really become a joke, bringing someone to try to get free things from the ancient tower," Wei Tian laughed, looking at Xu Zimei.

He looked him up and down.

Xu Zimei also glanced at Wei Tian indifferently.

Then he looked at Sun Feng and said, "This isn't freeloading, it's taking credit first, I'll pay it back tomorrow."

"I'm afraid that won't be possible," Sun Feng shook his head.

He looked at Xu Zimei, increasingly thinking this person might have lost his mind.

Why does he think he can claim credit here?

Xu Zimei remained composed.

Squinting his eyes, he said, "You will give me credit, right?"

"I..."

Sun Feng was about to refuse.

Suddenly, Xu Zimei waved his right hand.

The Myriad Things Altar displayed in the showcase seemed to awaken, starting to tremble continuously.

The next moment, with a "bang" sound.

The showcase holding the Myriad Things Altar shattered.

One should know the showcase was made with Diamond Crystals to prevent theft of ancient items.

Sun Feng was most aware of its sturdy nature.

But now, the Diamond Crystal shattered into pieces.

The Myriad Things Altar flew out from inside.

In the next moment, the Myriad Things Altar floated in the air, and with Xu Zimei's gestures, the rules within it continuously evolved.

Zhu Yunlong had previously said that this Myriad Things Altar could contain any person or object.

But due to internal damage, it was no longer usable.

But Xu Zimei immediately saw the rule power inside the Myriad Things Altar was incomplete, hence it couldn't be used.
