A middle-aged man was selling dozens of invitation tickets in a stall.
Anyone who passed by his stall couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
They were all aware that there were only a total of five hundred invitations for the party. These were not even enough for all the young talents of the holy lands, influential clans, and first-class sects.
So it was impossible for him to have any extra invitation tickets for sale.
Each ticket was being sold at two hundred thousand divine vital energy crystals, which was very expensive.
"If you are not interested in these invitations. I have something more interesting.
I have a map of a secret land. It has a very detailed topographic features.
Once you have this map, you can explore the secret land where great opportunity awaits you.
Anyone who will have this map will be very lucky. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The middle-aged man realized that no one believed the authenticity of the dozens of invitation tickets in his hand. So he quickly changed the topic and started to talk about maps while pointing at the thick pile of the map on the ground.
Austin sneered when he recognized that the middle-aged man was a dishonest businessman. And those invitations for sale were most probably be fake.
And the map of the secret land that he was claiming was probably made up.
"Everyone, please trust me. This secret land really exists, and it is located deep within the space crack.
Please believe me. Even the head of the Deep Sea Commercial House was now guarding near the entrance of the space crack. He was trying to find a way to enter it.
Even if you have doubts, it's fine with me. But how could you not believe the owner of the Deep Sea Commercial House?
The secret land within the space crack really exists, and it is full of treasures and opportunities,"
the middle-aged man said excitedly.
Those people around sneered at him. They knew that he was unreliable and was just talking nonsense. A lot of them started to turn around and leave.
Austin was about to leave. But he suddenly stopped when he heard the name of the Deep Sea Commercial House.
"Are you referring to the owner of the Deep Sea Commercial House? Are you sure that he is the one who is guarding near the space crack?"
Austin asked inquiringly.
"Yes, I'm very sure! I saw it with my own eyes. It's impossible for me to make a mistake.
So, buddy! Are you interested in my maps?
I am selling this map of secret lands for only two hundred thousand divine vital energy crystals.
Since you are my first customer, I will give you a fifty percent discount. You can now have it for just one hundred thousand divine vital energy crystals."
The middle-aged man was overjoyed when Austin came up to him and inquired about the maps.
"Where is that space crack?"
Austin asked.
"It's over the Traverse Mountains. About three hundred miles away from the Shadow City.
The crack appeared in the sky over the Traverse Mountains about more than half a year ago.
At first, it was so tiny that you could barely notice it.
But now it is becoming more noticeable as it has been growing wider.
Almost everyone in the East Mainland knew about this.
Boy, haven't you heard about it?"
the middle-aged man said. Then he looked at Austin curiously.
"I see. I wonder why he is guarding that space crack."
Austin was bewildered.
He immediately squeezed out of the crowds. The middle-aged man trailed behind him and kept on offering the map of the secret land. He was even willing to give it on a bargain and lowered the price to fifteen thousand and even at ten thousand divine vital energy crystals.
Austin was aware that the middle-aged man was just trying to scam him, and he would never fall for his tricks.
Though Austin didn't believe the man's map, he suddenly realized that what the middle-aged man was saying about the space crack could be true. Probably, Yannick was really there guarding near the entrance.
After some thought, Austin decided to go the Traverse Mountains and see what was going on.
As he was not familiar with the place, he asked around for the location of the Traverse Mountains. Using his bodily movement skill, he left the Shadow City and headed toward its direction.
It took Austin half a day before he reached the entrance of the Traverse Mountains.
After a while, Austin saw a huge mountain with an amazing space crack above it.
The space crack was dark and about a thousand meters long. The chaotic and twisting space and time could be faintly seen deep inside the crack. Different kinds of strange colors and the constant change of the dazzling scenery could make the heart flutter.
Austin headed towards the mountain and released his spiritual sense.
After a while, he finally found Yannick. He was with a group of people who were hiding in the dense forest on top of the peak.
