Chapter 4626 Divine Splendor of Plants and Trees
One after another, the major sects of the Heavenly Domain arrived at the scene. To the right of the Taihe Gate was the Nightfall Empire, and to the left was the Tang Family, sandwiched between the two super powers.
The Ji family, Shenye City, Youlan Cloud Valley, and Ziyu Zhai all suffered the same fate, and the five major sects and five major forces were all thrown into chaos.
As soon as Liu Wuxie sat down, he felt several burning gazes directed at him from a great distance.
Looking to his right, he saw several powerful figures from the Nightfall Empire staring at him with cold eyes, as if they were prey.
These people were unfamiliar faces; Liu Wuxie did not recognize them.
"They are all disciples of the Nightfall Empire, and their strength is not bad. The one wearing the yellow robe is Sun Zhong, the first disciple of the Nightfall Empire. He is extremely talented and broke through to the semi-saint realm at the age of thirty. Now he is only a little over fifty. Looking at the entire Heavenly Domain, there are very few people who can enter the semi-saint realm before the age of one hundred."
The senior disciple sitting to the side immediately sent a telepathic message to Liu Wuxie.
Besides Sun Zhong, Sun Qing was also sitting to the side, talking to Sun Zhong about something, probably about the purchase of the bronze mirror.
Next, his senior brother introduced him to several members of the Tang family who were standing nearby. Each of them was quite strong, on par with his senior brother, and had one foot in the Earth Saint Realm.
"I've discussed it with the ancestors. At this auction, we'll try our best to acquire treasures that can enhance your cultivation, and strive to elevate you to the Half-Saint realm as soon as possible. With your talent and combat power, after breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, you might be able to fight against an Earth Saint. When an Extreme Earth Saint doesn't appear, no one in the world will be your match."
After Mu Hongzhang finished his introduction, he said to Liu Wuxie meaningfully.
I learned from the five patriarchs that the Heavenly Realm is about to be destroyed. As long as Liu Wuxie can return to the Ancient God Realm, he can save the Heavenly Realm.
When he proposed to cultivate Liu Wuxie with all his might, the five elders did not object. Liu Wuxie's performance did indeed overturn their understanding.
"Thank you, Uncle Master!"
Liu Wuxie looked grateful.
With his talent, if he cultivates slowly, he will definitely be able to break through to the semi-saint realm in fifty or sixty years.
The landscape of the celestial realm is constantly changing, and no one knows what will happen in the future. Only strength matters.
“We sold some of the Hongmeng Grass and Chixiao Divine Crystals that you handed over to the sect before and exchanged them for resources. So this time we are well prepared and we will definitely be able to buy a lot of good things.”
Mu Hongzhang, worried that Liu Wuxie might be under psychological pressure, continued speaking.
Some of the resources brought this time were obtained by selling Hongmeng Grass and Chixiao Divine Crystal. Even if they managed to acquire a few treasures for Liu Wuxie, the sect's higher-ups wouldn't say anything, since these things originally belonged to Liu Wuxie.
As time passed, powerful figures from various sects arrived one after another.
"Senior Uncle, what's going on in that area?"
Liu Wuxie looked to the left front. That area was completely different from the major sects in the Heavenly Domain. It was actually divided into small pieces, unlike the Taihe Sect, which was a large area that could accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.
"The area you just saw is prepared for some independent cultivators. The area on the right is prepared for first-class sects and second- or third-class sects. Only our ten major sects and the Heavenly Fiend Arena have their own separate areas."
Mu Hongzhang immediately explained.
"Something's not right over there. There seem to be several extremely terrifying auras!"
After absorbing the Blood Eye, Liu Wuxie's perception was greatly enhanced. The Ghost Eye could not only peer into space, but also see the origin of things.
"Besides our super sects with Earth Saint level experts in charge, the Heavenly Domain also has many independent cultivators. After the Heavenly Domain split, they did not join any sects but chose to go into seclusion. It was only when a rare mineral resource appeared that those experts came out of seclusion one after another, including many high-level Earth Saint level experts."
Mu Hongzhang patiently explained to Liu Wuxie.
The Heavenly Domain is so vast that when it split, there were not only ten major sects, but also a large number of powerful individuals who split along with the Heavenly Domain. However, they disdained to establish sects and even less so to rely on others.
Liu Wuxie secretly activated his Ghost Eye, and a terrifying sense of perception instantly spread out.
The magnificent auction house is so vast that you can only see the tip of the iceberg with your eyes.
The view suddenly changed, and in the small areas that had been divided up, a few dozen powerful individuals were scattered about, each with a powerful aura.
Just as my master said, even the weakest among them are at least half a step into the Earth Saint realm, while the strongest have reached the top level of the Earth Saint realm.
"hiss……"
Liu Wuxie couldn't help but gasp, never expecting that so many Earth Saint level experts were lurking in the Heavenly Domain.
Sensing that someone was watching, a top-tier Earth Saint Realm expert suddenly looked towards Liu Wuxie.
Liu Wuxie quickly withdrew his ghostly gaze, his face still showing lingering fear.
"As expected of a top-tier Earth Saint, his strength far surpasses that of Ancestor Ke Rong. If such a powerful figure were to make a move, he would be able to shatter the Heavenly Domain."
Liu Wuxie said secretly.
"Ong!"
suddenly!
The central area suddenly lit up, illuminating most of the universe, and several figures appeared on the central auction stage, instantly silencing the entire auction hall.
"On behalf of the Glorious Auction House, I welcome you all. Before the auction begins, let me first explain the auction rules. As in previous years, all items will be won by the highest bidder. Participating sects and individuals are prohibited from maliciously raising prices..."
The old man standing on the platform rambled on about a bunch of things, mostly about the auction rules.
"This person is Luo Shijun, a top auctioneer at the Brilliant Auction House. His cultivation level has reached the seventh level of Earth Saint. He also presided over the last auction."
Mu Hongzhang secretly transmitted his voice to Liu Wuxie.
"Senior Luo, your Brilliant Auction House previously advertised that you had rare mineral resources for sale, but why are there no rare mineral resources on the auction list?"
After Luo Shijun explained the rules, a powerful figure from a sect immediately stepped forward and asked Luo Shijun a question.
Not only this sect, but other sects also want to know why they haven't seen the rare mineral source.
Most sects come for the rare mineral resources, as this is related to whether the sect can produce a few Earth Saint level experts.
According to the description of the Glorious Auction House, these rare mineral resources contain the complete power of the Earth Saint rules, which can definitely help semi-saint powerhouses break through to the Earth Saint realm.
"This is the second thing I want to tell you all. A total of 100,000 rare mineral resources have been mined. After the auction, we will sell them to the public at a fixed price. So I would like to remind everyone to act within your means during the auction and to keep some resources to avoid missing out on these rare mineral resources."
Luo Shijun immediately explained.
Rare mineral resources are not auctioned off, but sold to the public at fixed prices, and the sale must be completed after the auction.
The sudden news disrupted the plans of many sects.
Many sects divided the resources they brought into several parts, using one part for auction and another part for purchasing rare mineral resources.
Although the price was clearly marked, Luo Shijun did not say how much a rare mineral resource was worth.
If we don't leave enough resources, wouldn't we miss the opportunity to compete for rare mineral resources?
Taihemen was also secretly discussing how to redistribute their resources, reserving enough to seize rare mineral resources.
"After a short while, the auction will officially begin!"
After Luo Shijun finished speaking, a powerful aura of a Earth Saint swept across the surroundings, instantly silencing the entire venue.
The time it takes to drink a cup of tea quickly passed, and figures appeared on the platform. A dozen women in long red dresses stood in turn at the back of the platform, each holding a treasure in their hands.
Each treasure is covered with a special restriction that cannot be seen by divine sense. The restriction is only removed during the auction.
"The first item to be auctioned is an incomplete Saint Yuan Technique sword technique, suitable for cultivators who practice swordsmanship. Although it is incomplete, its quality far surpasses that of Saint Xuan Technique. Once cultivated to the Great Perfection stage, it can instantly kill any opponent of the same level. The starting bid is one million Saint Xuan Crystals."
After Luo Shijun finished speaking, a woman in red carrying a tray came to the front desk, opened the barrier, and revealed an ancient sword manual to everyone.
The auction stage was quite far from Liu Wuxie and his group, yet they could see it clearly. The spatial laws here were specially enhanced, allowing them to clearly observe the situation on the auction stage even from hundreds of miles away.
In all auctions, the competition for the first few items is not too fierce; the best items are reserved for the later ones.
Ultimately, this sword technique was bought by a first-rate sect for five million Saint Crystals.
These incomplete Saint Yuan Techniques are not lacking in the major super sects; what they lack are complete Saint Yuan Techniques.
The auction proceeded quickly; in a short time, three or four items had already been sold, some of them incomplete martial arts manuals, others incomplete weapons.
That great battle back then caused immense suffering and countless weapons were shattered and scattered across the heavens.
The Brilliant Auction House collects these fragments and resells them to other sects, earning resources in the process.
Ordinary sects, lacking Earth Saint level experts, cannot travel to Xuan Tian and can only obtain these treasures through this method.
Soon they arrived at the sixth item. Apart from the Ji family bidding once before, the other ten sects had not yet made a move.
"I'm sure everyone will be very interested in this next item. It's called Herbal Essence, the life essence extracted from various rare herbs by one of our top alchemists at the Glorious Auction House over several decades. It contains extremely strong life force, which is especially attractive to cultivators with limited lifespans. By consuming Herbal Essence, one can improve their life level and extend their lifespan, with effects far surpassing those of longevity pills. Ordinary cultivators can also use the life essence to improve their cultivation level by one level. It is a rare treasure."
After Luo Shijun finished speaking, the woman in red beside him held a porcelain bottle containing the Divine Essence of Herbs and Trees.
Liu Wuxie possesses the Tree of Life within his body, which decomposes a large amount of life essence every day, no less than the divine essence of plants and trees. However, life essence can only improve the quality of life, not cultivation.
"Starting bid is three million Saint-level Crystals, and each bid must be at least one hundred thousand higher!"
After Luo Shijun finished speaking, he signaled to everyone that they could start bidding.
The starting price wasn't high; such a treasure could potentially fetch tens of millions of Saintly Crystals if sold elsewhere.
"four million!"
After Luo Shijun finished speaking, a voice came from the left: the Tang family's senior management had made their offer.
"five million!"
Qi Yuan, the peak master of Myth Peak, immediately stated his price, representing the Taihe Sect in making the offer.
Each sect can only select one person to submit a bid, in order to prevent random bidding from disrupting the auction's order.
