This is undoubtedly a happy dilemma. There are countless forces across the All Phenomena Ocean, while the number of Spirit Islands is limited. Many forces have no foothold and can only drift around, with some lucky enough to find a deserted island to temporarily occupy, while others are left homeless.

However, the situation is different when it comes to the Three Worlds Island.

Back then, after conquering Baiyue, it was secretly handed over to Sifang Island, which is a separate matter. Now, we've taken down Zixuan, yet still can't find a way to occupy it.

This situation is troubling...

"We can agree that Zixuan is not to be desired, right?" Tang Jun looks at everyone.

The group nods in agreement.

Actually, even if Tang Jun hadn't come over to broach the subject, Luan Xiao'e would have swiftly summoned Moon Jade from this island to discuss how to handle Zixuan. As of now, the consensus is to not want Zixuan.

"If we don't want Zixuan, how should we handle it?" He Baichuan asks. It's difficult to relinquish such a top-class Spirit Island once conquered.

If we truly let it go, someone else will surely come to occupy it, gaining a huge advantage for nothing.

"Auction?" Yann Miao suggests, "Just like our auction for Baiyue last time; it should fetch a good price."

"This method might work, but I'm afraid no one will dare take it." Luan Xiao'e says.

After all, Zixuan was occupied by a top-tier force. Although now conquered by Three Worlds Island, it's not something just anyone can covet. This top-class Spirit Island is different from Baiyue. Back then, numerous forces were eager to obtain Baiyue, bidding competitively at the auction. But accepting Zixuan involves opposing Zixuan's side.

Zixuan will certainly try to reclaim the Spirit Island, just as the Baiyue Galaxy constantly eyes Sifang Island, wanting to regain its dominance. However, Sifang Island's overall strength prevents Baiyue Galaxy from succeeding.

But Zixuan is different; a force with insufficient confidence wouldn't dare entertain the idea.

This might be a hot potato.

"Wrong!" Tang Jun smiles slightly, "Someone is indeed interested in Zixuan."

"You heard something again?" Lu Ye asks, looking at him.

Tang Jun says, "Right after you took down Zixuan, a message came through, expressing interest in taking over and asking us to offer a reasonable price. There aren't many, but there are four or five groups."

Lu Ye, curious, asks, "Who dares to be so bold?"

Tang Jun replies, "In a place without rules, no one would dare ignore Zixuan's reputation. But here is ultimately the All Phenomena Ocean, where Zixuan's fame is great, but only the five registered Moon Jade have the right to participate in Spirit Island contests. This ensures there won't be too much commotion across the vast All Phenomena Ocean. Once these forces take over Zixuan, as long as they set up proper defenses, even if Zixuan dispatches troops to reclaim it, it won't be easy. And after enduring for a while and the protective array becoming more stable, they can establish a firm foothold. So, this isn't really about courage, but rather large domains within the stellar space that possess powerful backgrounds; such domains naturally have strong overall Star System strength."

Lu Ye understands, realizing that those secretly contacting Tang Jun do not fear Zixuan, but All Phenomena Ocean's rules significantly bind this behemoth. Even with immense power, it's limited in effect across the All Phenomena Ocean, making the risk worthwhile and with enough confidence.

A top-class Spirit Island changing hands—missing this opportunity means waiting a lifetime for another chance, so naturally, some take action.

"Though four or five groups aren't many, it should fetch a good price." He Baichuan nods, "We could sell it."

Luan Xiao'e ponders for a while, feeling tempted. Since the Three Worlds cultivators can't occupy Zixuan, selling it is indeed the only choice.

They all turn to look at Lu Ye, who, though nominally just the Third Island Master, has played a decisive role in the development of Three Worlds Island over the years, overcoming challenges under his lead. Without him, conquering Zixuan wouldn't have been possible.

Ultimately, how to proceed depends on his decision.

After a moment of thought, Lu Ye speaks, "Selling is definitely necessary. I already have a suitable candidate, and I believe they will offer a very high price."

Luan Xiao'e is astonished, "Who?" She hasn't seen Lu Ye in touch with anyone, so how does he already have a suitable transaction partner?

Lu Ye shakes his head, saying, "Let's not discuss this for now. Old Tang, you rushed over here; it's not just to discuss the issue of Zixuan's ownership, is it? Is there some hidden reason?"

If it's just about Zixuan's ownership, it can be delayed. Yet Tang Jun came directly, suggesting something's amiss.

Tang Jun laughs, saying, "You're sharp! Since you see it, I won't keep it a secret. You killed Lion Heart outside All Phenomena Island, and then Three Worlds Island had a visitor from Cheling World's Fellow Daoist Yue. She visited Three Worlds Island, checked on Chu Shen, and after leaving, Chu Shen reached out to me, informing me of something."

"What?" He Baichuan asks curiously.

Tang Jun said, "We can find a way to sell Zixuan Island back to Zixuan Demon Planet!"

He Baichuan was stunned, looking confused, "What kind of logic is this? We worked so hard to capture it, and if we sell it back, wouldn't it all be for nothing?"

Tang Jun nodded, "Yes, that's exactly what I thought when I first heard this. But what Chu Shen conveyed to me, clearly was guidance from that Fellow Daoist Yue. Fellow Daoist Yue is a cultivator from Cheling World, not convenient for direct contact, hence let Chu Shen convey it." After a pause, Tang Jun continued, "Thinking deeper, could Fellow Daoist Yue's suggestion possibly reflect the intent of someone from Cheling World? If so, then it carries much deeper meaning."

The intention of Sun Blaze is unfathomable, but no one dares to ignore it.

"So I've been pondering all this way, what deep meaning lies within? We've broken through Zixuan Island, killed so many Zixuan demon cultivators, even if we sell it back to them, it wouldn't resolve the enmity. Since that's the case, why sell it back to Zixuan?" Tang Jun showed a troubled expression.

He Baichuan asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Tang Jun chuckled and didn't answer but looked at Lu Ye, "Who's the suitable recipient you mentioned?"

Lu Ye said indifferently, "Zixuan Demon Planet!"

Tang Jun pointed at him, clapping his hands, "Look, he's figured it out!"

He Baichuan's head felt muddled, "Stop beating around the bush, just tell us what you're thinking."

Tang Jun laughed, "It's a simple matter. Zixuan wants to buy; they'll certainly pay a high price. Indeed, the offers from those interested forces won't be low, but only by selling to Zixuan can we get the highest price! For Zixuan, buying back this Spirit Island is not just about the transaction itself; they are buying face!" At this point, Tang Jun sighed heavily, "For a top force to lose a Spirit Island in All Phenomena Ocean, this has never happened before. If Zixuan doesn't buy back the Spirit Island, they'll become the only top force without a top-class Spirit Island from now on, always the subject of discussion. The prestige of a top force is such a precious thing, money can't buy it. So by selling to Zixuan, we can totally dominate the negotiation, name our price however we wish, demand as high as we want!"

Listening to Tang Jun's explanation, He Baichuan suddenly understood.

Indeed, Spirit Island has a price, but prestige is priceless!

To reclaim the Spirit Island, as long as the price set by Three Worlds Island isn't too outrageous, Zixuan Demon Planet will accept it.

Most importantly, regarding financial power, which force can compare with a top domain? The benefits from selling to others definitely won't match selling back to Zixuan Demon Planet.

This is the best target to sell Zixuan.

Jiu Yan must have seen this point, hence instructed Aunt Yue to visit Three Worlds Island, with Chu Shen conveying this idea.

Tang Jun hadn't realized it, but Lu Ye's thoughts coincidentally aligned with Jiu Yan's, so even if he hadn't made this trip, Lu Ye already had a resolution.

"Will Zixuan come to buy?" He Baichuan asked.

Tang Jun replied, "Rest assured, Zixuan will definitely come to buy. Once news reaches Zixuan Demon Planet, someone there won't be able to sit still." As he spoke, he stood up, "All right, knowing you young fellows already have a resolution, I won't make this trip. You carry on, I'll leave first."

Tang Jun departed, and within days, Three Worlds cultivators gradually evacuated.

A large top-class Spirit Island suddenly became an unclaimed empty island.

Originally Luan Xiao'e planned to set up a simple protective array here and leave some Three Worlds cultivators to guard it, but was persuaded by Lu Ye to abandon the plan.

Yuan Du bears intense hatred towards him, so Three Worlds Island had better be cautious and avoid giving Yuan Du any excuse to seize upon.

If they split forces to occupy Zixuan, it would undoubtedly break the rule that no single force may occupy more than one Spirit Island in All Phenomena Ocean, allowing Yuan Du to make a fuss. Even if he attacked and killed Three Worlds cultivators, Lu Ye could only watch helplessly.

As Three Worlds cultivators evacuated, anything of value on Zixuan Island was taken away, except for the Spirit Jade Vein, which couldn't be moved. Even so, no force with some sense dared to occupy it randomly, because Three Worlds Island had the power to conquer Zixuan in its peak state and could certainly conquer it now when it's dilapidated.

Anyone occupying Zixuan would inevitably face hostility from Three Worlds Island, and once attacked, the situation would be hard to resolve.

This point was clear to all major forces in All Phenomena Ocean, so despite envy, they could only restrain themselves. The few forces interested in buying Zixuan have been in frequent contact with Tang Jun, even though Tang Jun has clearly refused them, they cannot resist their enthusiasm.

Recently, Old Tang has been enjoying nightly celebrations, his vigor undiminished, albeit somewhat troubled.

The grand battle thus came to a close, and the shock it imparted to cultivators in All Phenomena Ocean was far more intense than the previous strong attack by Three Worlds Island on Baiyue.

This was the first top-class Spirit Island in All Phenomena Ocean's history to be breached.

Three Worlds Island once again proved its formidable and fearsome foundation, and among them, the Third Island Master Lu Ye assuredly earned the title of the number one beneath Sun Blaze, his fame unmatched for a time.
