364: Want to get something for free!
Especially now that the Time Tower has been upgraded, its consumption of chaos stone has reached a shocking level, which is why Long Yuan would never use chaos stone to bid for these items.
"Then how do we get them?"
"Rob them!"
Long Yuan said concisely.
"This... this isn't good, right!"
"The Treasure Pavilion is the most terrifying power in the Southern Realm, can we really rob them?"
"Who told you to rob the Treasure Pavilion? Whoever wins the item you need, remember that person, and then rob them when they leave this city!"
In any case, there's no need to follow any rules here; might makes right, and bullying the weak is just a display of one's own ability.
However, the moment the auction actually began, everyone realized things weren't that simple. Every room here was isolated from the others; it was nothing like those low-level auction houses in the heavens. There was no need to bid aloud; one only had to input their bid on the Formation Plate. Therefore, apart from the host of this auction, the Treasure Pavilion, no one knew who had actually won the items.
Long Yuan was stunned. In this case, who was he supposed to rob?
It had to be said that the items auctioned here were very tempting. The World Origin they wanted, various Divine Abilities, Medicinal Pills, Formations, and other Advanced Legacies were all available here.
But Long Yuan just wanted a freebie; he didn't want to spend any chaos stone!
"One hundred units of World Origin, starting bid is one hundred million chaos stone per unit!"
"One Chaos-grade Divine Artifact, starting bid is three billion chaos stone!"
"One extinction dao-grade Cultivation Technique, starting bid is 2.8 billion chaos stone!"
"One Chaos-grade Sword Dao Divine Ability, starting bid is 3.5 billion chaos stone!"
"One set of cultivation insights for breaking through to the Chaos Realm, starting bid is five billion chaos stone!"
"..."
Watching item after item being auctioned off at exorbitant prices, the people beside Long Yuan grew red-eyed and flushed, feeling as if their own treasures had been snatched away by others.
The amount of World Origin appearing here was not small. Although the starting bid was one hundred million chaos stone, there were simply too many people wanting to break through to the Creation Realm; this amount of World Origin was just a drop in the bucket for so many Martial Artists.
Therefore, the final price for each unit of World Origin was several hundred million chaos stone. Such a massive sum was already an astronomical price that small powers or Loose Cultivators could barely look up to.
"Chaos-grade Sword Dao Divine Ability..."
Seeing that Divine Ability sold for over five billion chaos stone, Chu Jianchen couldn't help but hold his breath. He was a Sword Cultivator and naturally craved Advanced Sword Dao Divine Abilities, but unfortunately, this Divine Ability was not meant for him!
Long Yuan checked his own chaos stone. Although he had some, it wasn't much, and he hadn't expected the prices of these auction items to be so high.
They were talking about billions of chaos stone at every turn; how was he supposed to play this game? The little bit of chaos stone he had wasn't even enough to bid for one or two items.
"In that case... then don't blame me for robbing you later!"
Long Yuan muttered in a low voice.
"Revered Master, how do you plan to rob them?"
Chu Xiaotian asked hurriedly. He was already impatient to put it into action!
"Don't be anxious, let me plan this out!"
Long Yuan simply stopped looking at the auction items displayed on the Formation Plate and began to ponder how to rob these people.
...
This auction lasted for nearly half a month, and the items auctioned were vast in number. The dazzling array of treasures left the members of the Chu Family mesmerized and opened their eyes to the world.
For half a month, their eyes had been glued to the Formation Plate, never leaving it—they looked exactly like bumpkins!
Finally, until the very last finale treasure, Long Yuan looked at the Formation Plate again.
"Only to hear a voice come from it, 'The final finale treasure of this auction—a heavenly dao token!'"
Long Yuan just glanced at it and knew that the price of this item would be extremely expensive.
"A heavenly dao token? What kind of thing is this? How can it be used as the final finale treasure?"
Chu Yanran asked in confusion. Previously, there had been a Hongmeng Level Divine Artifact, a Cultivation Technique, and a piece of divine gold the size of a fist, none of which were used as the final ultimate treasure; yet, it was just a token!
"Chu Qiu, what exactly is a heavenly dao token?"
someone asked in confusion.
"A heavenly dao token is a token that allows one to join the Heavenly Dao Palace!"
"Then what exactly is the Heavenly Dao Palace?"
"The Heavenly Dao Palace is located in the Central Heaven Realm. It is the Supreme behemoth power in the Primordial Ancient Realm, bar none. It stands aloof from the world and never participates in the disputes of the Primordial Ancient Realm!"
"But this power is filled with experts, and its foundation is incredibly deep. It is said that Wu Dao Realm experts alone account for more than half of the Primordial Ancient Realm!"
"Every Martial Artist wants to enter this power in hopes of climbing to the peak of the Dao. However, the Heavenly Dao Palace only selects a batch of people from the Primordial Ancient Realm every endless epoch, and the method of selection is through the holders of this heavenly dao token!"
Chu Qiu was shocked. Once this item appeared, it signaled that another chaotic era had arrived! Because any expert with even a sliver of possibility would participate in this battle, using every means possible to obtain the heavenly dao token! After all, the Heavenly Dao Palace only recognizes the token, not the person! Once experts clash, it means mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
However, the members of the Chu Family who heard all this were not shocked in the slightest. In their eyes, what Supreme behemoth? What peak of the Primordial Ancient Realm? Under the leadership of the Beast God, they would sooner or later reach such a height, or even surpass them. Therefore, they were not tempted by this heavenly dao token at all.
"Heavenly Dao Palace?"
Long Yuan narrowed his eyes. He remembered that Dragon Xu Tian, who had gifted him three Talismans back then, was one of the Protectors of the Heavenly Dao Palace!
At this moment, the bidding for the heavenly dao token had already begun. Anyone who could participate in this kind of bidding was, without exception, a super major power from the Chaotic Sky Domain or a Hidden Family, at least a Family with a Hongmeng Supreme Realm expert sitting in charge; otherwise, they simply wouldn't be able to keep this treasure.
Before long, the price of the heavenly dao token had multiplied several times over; it was simply terrifying!
"Do you think such an auction really works?"
"It will probably still be fought over afterwards, right?"
Long Yuan asked Chu Qiu.
"Yes, there is no such thing as an airtight wall in this world!"
"Once a power wins it, other powers will definitely get the news, and fighting will be inevitable then!"
"But sometimes it's hard to say. Previously, there was a power that, after obtaining it, was not discovered by other powers, and in the end, they managed to hold on until the Heavenly Dao Palace envoy arrived and successfully joined the Heavenly Dao Palace!"
"So, what they are auctioning right now is just that sliver of a chance!"
A long time later, the auction ended. No one knew who had won the item. As for the final astronomical price it sold for, Long Yuan didn't know; he had already taken the Chu Family members and was heading out of the city.
At the same time, many people were calculating in their hearts. Such an Opportunity didn't know how many eons it would take to encounter again; experts naturally wouldn't be willing to hand over such an Opportunity to others!
Outside the city, Long Yuan had just stepped into this area when he stopped his footsteps.
"Revered Master, why did you stop?"
"Aren't we going to set up outside the city?"
Dragon Hound said excitedly. He was already rubbing his hands, impatient to have a big fight!
