320: Auction, trial
The invisible hands behind this Cultivation World are truly interlocking.
After pondering for a moment, you recount to Li Youdao part of the process of how you seized the Taiyuan Realm from Yang Li and Yin Tian.
And you tell him that this matter has nothing to do with you.
You also only came here twice and are not clear about the things inside.
Hearing your explanation, Li Youdao nods.
He knows that almost everything you said is true.
But he does not want to have any more entanglements with the Taiyuan Realm. After offering a slight bow, he leaves this place without looking back.
This causes a shadow to uncontrollably form in your heart.
Because you know clearly how much Li Youdao craves Supreme Treasures.
If even he has so easily given up on the Supreme Treasures of the Taiyuan Realm, it means that these Supreme Treasures must have made him sense a great crisis.
The 160,000th year.
After experiencing a series of painful tribulations, you finally succeed in reaching the Five-Qi Divine Realm.
But at the same time, you are clear that if you only rely on your own strength, it is impossible for you to successfully step into the Six Trigrams God Realm.
To achieve a Breakthrough, you must rely on the power of Supreme Treasures.
But at the same time, those Supreme Treasures obtained from the Taiyuan Realm cannot be used.
There are also few other Supreme Treasures in the Sweeping Sky Battlefield and the surrounding Star Domains.
This leaves you quite helpless.
Having no other choice, you have to leave the Sweeping Sky Battlefield to search for those "clean" Supreme Treasures.
The 163,000th year.
You spend three thousand years having your subordinates build a top-tier flying boat for you.
It can take you across the vast expanse, allowing you to roam freely in the boundless Void Realm.
Taking all the high-level Cultivators from the Sweeping Sky Battlefield and the surrounding star Realms with you, you set off.
The 163,500th year.
You pass through several worlds.
Although you gained nothing, you learned many things.
In most cases, a Star Domain is just a secondary world, while a complete piece of land like the Sweeping Sky Battlefield is the main world.
The strength of Cultivators in the main world far exceeds those in secondary worlds.
They were originally one, with no barriers or restrictions between them, and they can visit each other at any time.
But a situation like that of the Sweeping Sky Battlefield is unique.
This makes you feel that something is not quite right.
The abnormal situation of the Sweeping Sky Battlefield may have some connection to the Taiyuan Realm.
The 164,000th year.
You arrive at a quite prosperous world to settle down.
The strong purchasing power here gives you a bold idea.
You first disguise the Supreme Treasures obtained from the Taiyuan Realm layer by layer and place them into a jade box with shielding effects.
Subsequently, after much selection, you arrive at a remote immortal city and submit them to an auction house.
Fortunately, you succeed.
The appraiser of the auction house does not discover the abnormality of the Supreme Treasures.
At the same time, he is greatly shocked and immediately reports this news to the president of the auction house.
A moment later, several Cultivators rush over.
"Hiss! This Senior, are... are you truly wanting to auction the Supreme Treasures in your hands!"
"Correct!"
"These two Supreme Treasures of mine, one is called the Tribulation-Avoiding Flower, and the other is called the God-Protecting Soil."
"Both are Supreme Treasures that can greatly help Cultivators pass through the God Realm."
"But at the same time... I also want to sell them for a good price!"
Hearing this, the president repeatedly expresses: "You can rest assured about this. As long as you give me time, all the surrounding immortal cities will be attracted by this news, and they will absolutely sell for a good price."
Hearing this, you repeatedly refuse.
After all, these Supreme Treasures in your hands are not "clean".
The longer the time, the easier it is for problems to be exposed.
After pondering for a moment, you state that you are in urgent need of a large amount of Cultivation resources now and must auction the Supreme Treasures within one day, otherwise you will choose another auction house.
Hearing you say this, the auction house president does not dare to hesitate and immediately decides to add an auction in the evening.
And the finale items are precisely the Tribulation-Avoiding Flower and the God-Protecting Soil!
Several hours later.
The auction officially begins.
Although prepared in a rush, thanks to the vigorous promotion by the auction house president, it still attracts quite a few high-level Cultivators.
"Everyone, everyone, this auction officially begins. Below is the first auction item, the Sky Cloud Pill. The starting bid is..."
"What the hell is this?! Where are the Supreme Treasures? Where are the Supreme Treasures you mentioned before?"
"Exactly, I'm not here to see this. Don't bring this trash up for auction!"
"President Wang, everyone knows why they came, so there is no need for you to hide anything."
"..."
For a moment, the crowd at the auction venue is filled with righteous indignation.
And that President Wang gives a sheepish smile and personally brings up the Tribulation-Avoiding Flower and the God-Protecting Soil.
"Alright everyone, since everyone says so, let's directly begin the auction of the finale items."
"However, the Senior auctioning the Supreme Treasures is in urgent need of a large amount of resources, so this auction will be presented in the form of bartering."
Hearing this, everyone begins to bid one after another.
And after a long time, the Tribulation-Avoiding Flower and the God-Protecting Soil are obtained by a white-robed elder and a red-haired strong man respectively.
The moment they obtain the Supreme Treasures, they leave this place without looking back.
And at the same time, you instruct Chou Cang to follow the elder, while you yourself follow the strong man.
Along the way, the strong man encounters layers of interception, but under your protection, he manages to return home safely.
He does not dare to have the slightest hesitation and immediately enters his Immortal Cave to begin seclusion.
And you observe carefully from the side, attempting to discover the abnormal situation brought about by the Supreme Treasure from him.
Time passes bit by bit.
The aura of the strong man who is in seclusion suddenly becomes chaotic.
His seven orifices begin to ooze blood.
His Divine Power begins to become extremely violent.
But fortunately, the God-Protecting Soil plays its role.
It successfully calms the originally chaotic aura of the strong man.
As time passes, the strong man's Divine Power continuously increases, and he begins to launch an assault on the next Realm.
Not long after, he lets out a long roar towards the sky and successfully breaks through to the Four Symbols God Realm.
The strong man's face is full of joy.
But before he could be happy for long, a trace of horror flashes in his pupils.
"Urgh... urgh urgh urgh..."
He grabs his own neck with both hands, as if trying to stop something.
However...
All of this, after all, is just in vain.
When his struggle ends, although his aura has not changed at all, you can clearly feel that he is no longer the same person from just a moment ago!
