Chapter 529: Chapter 384: Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion_1
Could this even be considered a shortcut?
With a resigned air, Ye QingSheng retracted the Token and laughed, "Junior brother is quite confident!"
Li Cheng took it as a compliment from Ye QingSheng, shrugged his shoulders, and asked, "Where is the Three Arts Alliance?"
A few days later, Ye QingSheng led Li Cheng to a high altitude. Looking down, they could see a city with numerous buildings arranged in a unique pattern.
After observing for a moment, Li Cheng was secretly impressed, "One hundred and eight cities, each city spanning ten thousand miles, spaced a hundred miles apart from each other, utilizing the strength of the cities to form a certain large Array, similar to the layout of Mansion Venerable Cities in the Divine Realm."
Ye QingSheng nodded, "This is where the headquarters of the Three Arts Alliance is. The cities were designed from the very beginning of the Alliance\'s formation. Once the Array is activated, it is said that even Heaven Supreme experts would have difficulty breaking through."
Li Cheng\'s eyebrows subtly rose. Such a powerful Array was clearly beyond his current ability to arrange.
In the Array Path, I was known as Supreme in the Divine Realm, but here, there\'s still a long road ahead!
And if it was so with the Array Path, then so it must be with the Alchemy Dao and the Artifact Way as well.
Clasping his hands in a fist salute, Li Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Sect Leader, for the escort. This is far enough, wait for my good news!"
Ye QingSheng nodded, "Don\'t put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best. And don\'t forget, there\'s still a last resort."
The last resort she spoke of was relocating the Wan Race of the Divine Realm to the Supreme Realm.
But realistically, how many people would be willing to abandon their homeland?
After bidding Ye QingSheng farewell, Li Cheng landed outside the city and walked straight towards the city center.
This was the headquarters of the Three Arts Alliance. As per Ye QingSheng\'s words, the conditions to join the Alliance were extremely stringent and, even if one could join, they were often first assigned to a remote branch. One had to accumulate merits step by step, climb the ranks, and then they might return to headquarters.
Therefore, many of those who wished to join the Three Arts Alliance would attempt to pass the assessment at a nearby branch rather than, like Li Cheng, travel vast distances to the headquarters only to be met with disappointment.
Li Cheng had come directly here because he didn\'t want to waste time climbing the ranks step by step.
After all, he was used to soaring upwards; he rarely experienced life at the bottom.
Walking through the city, Li Cheng browsed at leisure, already having a plan in mind.
He had declined Ye QingSheng\'s offer of the Token not just because of his confidence but also because he wanted the Three Arts Alliance to invite him!
If Ye QingSheng knew Li Cheng\'s thoughts, she would probably think he had gone mad!
Daily, countless people wanted to join the Three Arts Alliance but were almost always turned away. But Li Cheng actually expected the Alliance to actively seek him out?

But that was precisely how confident Li Cheng was!
After spending time in one city and finding no opportunities, Li Cheng continued on to the next city.
It wasn\'t long before he saw a bustling large shop; he couldn\'t help but move closer and observe.
It\'s human nature to join a crowd in excitement.
"The Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion is actually going to close down, what a pity. We\'ll no longer be able to buy high-quality goods for a good price."
"What can you do? It\'s said that many masters who had cooperated with the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion have terminated their partnerships, leading to a dramatic reduction in the supply of goods, and the Pavilion can no longer continue to do business."
"The Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion has stood here for millions of years with unquestionable reputation and quality, yet to think a day like this would come, sigh!"
...
Listening to the crowd\'s discussion, Li Cheng understood the reason, and unexpectedly, it turned out the Hunting Emperor Sect was causing trouble behind the scenes!
"An opportunity has arrived!"
Li Cheng\'s eyes lit up, he squeezed through the crowd, and entered the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion.
The Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion wasn\'t in complete disarray. In the large hall, empty display cabinets were set up, and at the end, a portly, greasy middle-aged man squatted on the ground, his eyes empty and devoid of spirit.
Noticing someone approaching, the middle-aged man didn\'t even raise his head, "Sorry, the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion is gone; we have nothing left to sell, please feel free to leave!"
"Are you the owner of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion?" Li Cheng inquired.
The middle-aged man slowly looked up, noting Li Cheng\'s extraordinary bearing, he stood up, clasped his hands in greeting and said, "I\'m just the manager, not the owner. Are you here to press me for debts, sir? I believe they\'ve all been repaid!"
"I\'m new to this place and have no prior dealings with your Pavilion, so naturally, I\'m not here to collect debts, but for cooperation," Li Cheng stated directly.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man\'s eyes brightened momentarily, but sensing that Li Cheng was merely at the peak of the Divine Emperor\'s Realm, he sighed inwardly, shook his head, and declined, "The Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion will be gone by tomorrow, sir; you\'ve come too late."
What could a junior at the peak of the Divine Emperor\'s Realm possibly have to offer in terms of cooperation with the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion?
Back in the day, there were mighty powers working with the Pavilion, and even so, it had fallen.
Li Cheng didn\'t bother to say much, "Is the owner in? Take me to him; there\'s a turning point!"
A turning point?
The middle-aged man gave Li Cheng a few more probing glances, hesitated for a few seconds, "Might as well try, since it\'s a last resort! Please come with me!"
Li Cheng smiled and followed the middle-aged man upstairs.
They reached the fifth floor and entered a room where a scenic vista unfolded before them. There were countless pavilions, towers, and lodges, nestled amidst the mountains and waters.
"Wang Cai, didn\'t I tell you to leave? Why are you back, and you\'ve brought someone?" a pleasant voice sounded.
Wang Cai?
Li Cheng looked at the middle-aged man with a peculiar expression. That name... was quite something!
Moving his gaze away, Li Cheng followed the voice and saw a slender woman standing on Lake Heart Island a thousand miles away, her back to them. She wore a purple dress that perfectly accentuated her figure.
