Chapter 4518: Seven Martial Pavilion
The crowd showed no sign of recognizing this title.
âSeven Martial Pavilion? Doesnât ring a bell to me. Their item is listed fifth?â One youth said.
Only a few old men have heard of this title before. They were specifically chosen for the secret auction due to their wealth and power. They had relationships and friends everywhere as well.
âSeven Martial Pavilion was an actual lineage, not just a name?â One big shot said.
âYes, it was real. Puresun Dao Lord talked about it before, so it has to be true.â Another important character responded.
âWhat item will this be?â One more became curious.
âI canât believe something from that era is still around until now.â A famous character felt the same way.
This magical lineage was mentioned by numerous invincible masters. Alas, their members had never been seen before.
Nothing was known about its location and structure. Their merit laws and techniques were unknown as well.
This sect only existed in the words of top masters for generations now. Usually, this meant that it was a thing in the past, having been destroyed or disbanded. This wasnât the case for Seven Martial Pavilion.
Therefore, it was rather puzzling. It would make sense for a small sect to be this unknown, but Seven Martial Pavilion was mentioned by various beings - Puresun Dao Lord, Blessed Dao Lord, Duality Master, and many othersâ¦
A lineage mentioned by these masters must have been frightening and inscrutable. Alas, its elusive nature made regular cultivators think of it as a legend only.
Only a minority was sure of its existence and stated that it was hiding for a particular purpose unknown to others.
The auctioneer coughed to get everyoneâs attention and said: âWe are certain that this item is from Seven Martial Pavilion. We guarantee it.â
The auction house was putting its reputation on the line, proving the existence of the pavilion in the process.
âHave you met any disciple from there?â A big shot asked the auctioneer.
The latter only smiled without answering. He didnât divulge further information on Seven Martial Pavilion. Perhaps he didnât know anything in the first place. Only the top ancestors from the grotto were privy to this information.
âHas anyone actually seen them before?â A sacred ancestor from a prestigious clan asked.
âThey do exist.â A sacred ancestor from the east answered: âIn fact, they have ties to many dao lord lineages. For example, the Puresun Clan has always been very close with them.â
âReally?â One big shot was skeptical.
The sacred ancestor nodded and said: âItâs definitely true. The problem is that not just anyone can make contact. Only a few ancient ancestors from the Puresun can communicate with them. Wait, Void Imperfection Three Schools and Heavenvine Citadel, those ancient lineages, they might have connections to the pavilion as well. If anyone in the world were to know more, it would be them.â
âNot to mention the pavilion, the names you listed are becoming illusory existences. They rarely appear at all.â One big shot said.
âTrue, but at least their disciples have walked the world. The same canât be said about the pavilion.â One ancestor shook her head.
âThen letâs go ask the Puresun.â A hotheaded ancestor suggested: âTheyâre still around.â
No one answered because this clan was officially reclusive. A few big shots might have contact with them but who would be bold enough to go there?
Ever since their reclusion, Eastern Desolace became leaderless. Nonetheless, their previous prestige remained and no one dared to disrespect them.
âItâs difficult to visit Void Imperfection and Heavenvine as well. Weâre about to lose communication with them altogether.â An eastern big shot said.
In reality, they didnât understand why these ancient lineages would choose to go into seclusion. They had dominated for so long and were still powerful.
âIf we canât find or donât want to go, there is still another lineage that can answer this question, Bones.â The sacred ancestor from the easter suggested: âRumor has it that Bones Dao Lord has visited Seven Martial Pavilion before. This might be the most reliable piece of information regarding this place.â
The group exchanged glances Few knew about this but the ancient ancestor was right.
âWhy the hell do we need to go so far?â Someone else said: âThe auction house clearly had contact for this transaction.â
Everyone then turned towards the auctioneer. If Seven Martial Pavilionâs item was here, the auction house must have met a member from there.
âAhem.â The auctioneer said: âEsteemed Guests, I and the grotto know nothing about this. We are only responsible for the auctions, nothing else.â
The auction house clearly had no intention of revealing information about the pavilion.
