　　”You could say it was a success, but you could also say it was a failure！” Ye Wushuang sighed as he looked at the three-dimensional image before him.
　　What do you mean by ‘you could say it was a success, but you could also say it was a failure’？
　　Zhou Yuan looked at Ye Wushuang with a strange expression.
　　”The City of Tuotian is too vast. The power connected by this formation hub and the rules it consolidates are too immense. Even a Saint Array Master might not be able to fully control it！”
　　Zhou Yuan nodded upon hearing this.
　　Ye Wushuang then said, “I’ve roughly grasped the hub of this formation, but I haven’t truly mastered it. However…”
　　”However what? Spit it out already！”
　　Zhou Yuan felt somewhat anxious inside.
　　”However, I’ve managed to uncover some of the ingenious aspects of this formation. While I can’t control the entire hub, I can exert slight control over a portion of it.”
　　Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “In other words, I can appropriately manipulate a part of the formation rules of the entire City of Tuotian for my own use.”
　　Hearing this, Zhou Yuan froze in place.
　　”You mean you can take control of a portion of the City of Tuotian’s formation rules, altering the rules of certain areas within the city？”
　　”Exactly！”
　　”What’s so great about that？” Zhou Yuan said with a disappointed expression.
　　Ye Wushuang retorted bluntly, “What’s so great？ During the day, when others can’t kill, I can alter the rules of certain market districts to kill！”
　　”At night, I can also modify the protective rules of some manors and palaces to ambush them. This is incredibly significant！”
　　Zhou Yuan immediately looked dejected and said： “Do I care whether you kill or not？ What I care about are the treasures in this place, treasures, you understand？”
　　Ye Wushuang looked at the rather anxious Zhou Yuan and said indifferently： “You’re a sage after all, how come you don’t have the patience of a sage at all？”
　　“……”
　　”Did I ever say there are no treasures here？”
　　Ye Wushuang added again： “Within the Tuotian City’s array rules, there are nine places that are peculiar. I suspect these nine places are where the real treasures lie.”
　　Hearing this, Zhou Yuan immediately laughed： “You brat, why didn’t you say so earlier！”
　　Ye Wushuang chuckled lightly, too lazy to respond to the old sage’s sudden change of expression.
　　”Let’s go！”
　　Ye Wushuang said： “By controlling the changes in this array hub, I can alter some of the rules in Tuotian City—treasure hunting and killing, two birds with one stone！”
　　”Good！”
　　No wonder Zhou Yuan was so excited.
　　According to Ye Wushuang, this was an ancient site left behind by immortals. Even if only one percent of the immortals’ traces remained, the treasures here would hold immense mystery not just for those at the Stellar Transformation Realm but also be an extremely rare opportunity for sages！
　　The two of them left the underground ancient palace and returned to the courtyard.
　　Standing by the ancient well, Ye Wushuang felt uneasy and added another layer of sealing to the well to prevent others from discovering this place.
　　After completing all this, the two of them finally left with satisfaction.
　　Only when Ye Wushuang returned to the manor did Lin Yunhan feel completely at ease.
　　However,
　　everything in Tuotian City was just the beginning.
　　The next morning, early in the day, the Lin family, the Xuantian Mansion, and the Sheng Tian Sect gathered.
　　Lin Yunhan, Xuantian Sheng, Xiao Guangling, and others assembled in a main hall of the manor, waiting for Ye Wushuang.
　　Not long after, Ye Wushuang appeared.
　　The gazes of the group turned to him, and it was clear that Ye Wushuang was in excellent spirits.
　　”Let’s　set　off！”
　　Ye Wushuang spoke up： “Tuotian City is incredibly mysterious, tied to the traces of immortals. Even if it’s just the remnants of their legacy, it will bring immense benefits to all of us.”
　　”Starting today, we’ll explore each of the nine great ruins in Tuotian City one by one！”
　　Nine　great　ruins？
　　The group was utterly confused.
　　Xuantian Sheng couldn’t help but ask, “Young Master Ye, what are these nine great ruins？”
　　”No need for you to worry about that. Just follow Young Master Ye and enjoy the rewards.”
　　Nearby, Zhou Yuan chuckled and said, “I guarantee that the benefits here will surpass all the ancient sites you’ve discovered in the entire Burial Saint Grotto！”
　　Hearing this, the group broke into smiles one by one.
　　Soon, under Ye Wushuang’s lead, the group left the manor and began traversing the vast Tuotian City.
　　A procession of several hundred people moved in a grand and imposing manner.
　　Along the way, other martial artists they encountered quickly made way upon seeing the combined forces of the Holy Heaven Sect, Profound Heaven Mansion, and the Lin Family.
　　Since the founding of the Holy Heaven Sect, the Lin Family and the sect had been inseparable.
　　But for the Profound Heaven Mansion to openly align with both the Holy Heaven Sect and the Lin Family like this gave many people useful insights.
　　Previously, the Profound Heaven Mansion’s support for the Holy Heaven Sect had been done privately, in a more subtle manner.
　　Now, however, it was out in the open！
　　This alone spoke volumes.
　　Xuantian Sheng, Lin Yunhan, and the others followed Ye Wushuang with bewildered expressions.
　　They had no idea what discoveries Ye Wushuang had made within Tuotian City.
　　After all…
　　Ye Wushuang had only just arrived yesterday！
　　Could he really have found something after just a night of wandering around？
　　At the front of the group, Ye Wushuang and Zhou Yuan were also exchanging words.
　　”Just what exactly have you discovered, kid？”
　　Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but ask.
　　Even now, he had no clue what scheme Ye Wushuang was cooking up in his mind.
　　”In this Tuotian City, there are over a hundred thousand buildings combined across various markets and neighborhoods—large and small houses, street-side shops, estates, palaces, and towers. Counting them all, more than half are empty, with no particularly good spots.”
　　”But among them, one-tenth of the places hold some decent treasures, while the best items are stored in nine specific locations.”
　　”Of these, four are already occupied, so we shouldn’t risk alerting the occupants. That’s why I’m taking everyone to the five unoccupied spots！”
　　”Five spots！”
　　Hearing this, Zhou Yuan’s eyes lit up as he asked, “Will they be useful to me？”
　　”How would I know？” Ye Wushuang blinked in surprise. “We won’t know until we check them out！”
　　Zhou Yuan studied Ye Wushuang’s innocent expression and couldn’t help but think： This kid is probably lying.
　　Zhou Yuan was originally a Sage who had severed his own arm to survive, trapped in a perilous place for eight thousand years and nearly dying. Thanks to Ye Wushuang’s help, he was practically reborn.
　　Moreover, after recovering some of his essence, qi, and blood, he now possessed strength at the Star-Plucking Realm level.
　　For him, nothing mattered more than restoring himself to his former peak.
　　Only then could he return to the Zhou Clan！
　　Though he appeared indifferent on the surface, deep down, he cared immensely！
　　”We’re here！”
　　Ye Wushuang came to a halt, and the entire group stopped with him.
　　In sight was a mansion, with a plaque above the main gate inscribed with two gilded characters.
　　”Xun Mansion！”
　　Ye Wushuang spoke up： “Our first stop is here！”
