War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens
Chapter 3623 - The Highlight of the Auction
In just a blink of an eye, the Zhou clan's auction was drawing to a close. Up until now, many rare treasures had been auctioned off, including Floating Image Pearls that contained battles between Kings of Gods and Lords of Gods and weapons.
Duan Ling Tian had no interest in those things at all so he only watched as people bid for the items. He was also not one to stir up trouble by deliberately raising up the price for items with no intention of purchasing the items. Moreover, that action came with the risk of accidentally buying the items, in turn, wasting his divine rocks.
"Isn't there anything you want to bid for?" Duan Ling Tian asked curiously as he glanced at Duan Qiao Yu and Yu Qiu Xuan.
"Brother," Duan Qiao Yu replied before Yu Qiu Xuan could speak, "The auction is really boring. There's nothing good at all. Do you want that lord-grade cultivation method, Brother? I can get it for you if you want it." Then, a frown appeared on her face as she continued to say, "It's unfortunate that I'm prohibited from disclosing our clan's cultivation method. Otherwise, I'd teach them to you."
Upon hearing Yu Qiu Xuan coughed a few times before she deliberately changed the subject. "Young Miss, the highlight of the auction is about to begin."
Duan Ling Tian looked at Duan Qiao Yu. She was so cute that he could not help but pat her head. When he regained his senses, he hurriedly withdrew his hand. He thought his action was rather weird and abrupt. However, to his surprise, not only was Duan Qian Yu not bothered, but she was looking at him happily. Upon seeing this, he no longer held back and patted her head again.
Duan Qiao Yu blinked her limpid eyes and complained coquettishly, "Brother, you're messing up my hair."
Duan Ling Tian asked with her smile, "Did your brother pat your head like that as well?"
Duan Qiao Yu's eyes lit up at the mention of her brother. She nodded and said, "That's right! My brother patted my head all the time in the past."
…
Meanwhile, silence descended in the auction house.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Yu who was standing on the stage. To be precise, their eyes were trained on the Spatial Ring she held in her hands. As soon as she brought them out, their eyes were glued to it. After all, the ring held the Six Gods Profound Shadow Technique, a lord-grade cultivation method.
Under everyone's eyes, Zhou Yu said loudly, "Ladies and gentleman, the lord-rank Ke Clan's clan-guarding cultivation method, the Six Gods Profound Shadow Technique, is stored in this Spatial Ring. One has to be a Lord of Gods to unseal this cultivation method. Although the Zhou clan didn't unseal the cultivation method, through various means and our clan's experts' Divine Consciousness, we've verified that it's indeed the lord-grade Six Gods Profound Shadow Technique."
After performing the Blood Ownership on the ring, Zhou Yu brought out a dark jade slip that glowed strangely and alternatingly with a green, red, and blue light.
"If one forcefully unseals the cultivation method, one risks destroying the jade slip and the cultivation method within it. Now, I invited all of you to probe it with your Divine Consciousness to check its authenticity."
Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, extended their Divine Consciousness into the jade slip to verify its content.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian's Divine Consciousness entered the jade slip, he obtained a brief introduction of the lord-grade cultivation method, the way to unseal the cultivation method, and the consequences of forcefully unsealing it. It was just as Zhou Yu had said, one had to be a Lord of God at least to unseal the cultivation method. It would be destroyed if one tried to forcefully unseal it.
'Celestials in the Devata Realms really can't compare to the inhabitants of Realms of Gods. Even a Lord of Gods is capable of casting such a formidable Formation. I can't imagine how terrifyingly strong Emperors of Gods and Supreme Gods are…"
Even before coming to the Realm of Gods, Duan Ling Tian had already met a few inhabitants of the Realms of Gods such as Ke'er's third uncle, Xia Jie; Yun Qing Yan, the Young Master of the Yun clan; and the servant from the Yun clan who was sent to kill his master, Feng Qing Yang. However, these people were not at their full strength when Duan Ling Tian met them due to the restraints imposed on them once they left the Realms of Gods. The more pure one's blood was, the less the restraint would affect one.
For example, Xia Jie and Yun Qing Yan were considered to be pure-blood inhabitants. Hence, the duo could exert more than half of their strength after leaving the Realm of Gods. On the other hand, the servant on the Yun clan's strength was greatly restrained that his cultivation base was suppressed to that of a rudimentary god.
The Yun clan's servant's comprehension of the law was not as good as Feng Qing Yang's. Moreover, Feng Qing Yang had also formed and comprehended the Sword Dao, one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. These were all reasons why he had failed to kill Feng Qing Yang and only managed to force Feng Qing Yang to escape to the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms.
This restraint was imposed on them by the supreme powerhouses. This was because the supreme powerhouses had foreseen the inhabitants of the Realms of Gods going to the Devata Realms and killing indiscriminately or starting a massacre. If the Devata Realms were destroyed, there would be a chain of reactions. Even the mundane realms might cease to exist if the Devata Realms were destroyed.
On the other hand, those from the mundane realms or Devata Realms were not affected by the restraint at all unless they were specifically targeted by the supreme powerhouses. Moreover, due to the inhabitants of the Realms of Gods possessing blood of the supreme powerhouses, it was easier for the supreme powerhouses to track them and restrain them.
Duan Ling Tian who was lost in his thoughts was pulled back to his senses by the conversation in his surroundings.
By now, most people had already withdrawn their Divine Consciousness and were discussing among themselves.
"This must be another reason the Zhou clan didn't keep the cultivation method for themselves. As it turns out, only a Lord of Gods or someone stronger can unseal it."
"Even if the Zhou clan was afraid of the trouble that would surely come with possessing a lord-grade cultivation method, I thought they would at least let a few of their members master it first before auctioning off. As it turns out, they didn't do so because they can't unseal the cultivation method."
"That's right! After all, if the Zhou clan seeks help from a Lord of Gods to unseal the cultivation method, it's likely that they would be robbed of the cultivation method."
"A lord-grade cultivation method, huh? I bet it's going to be sold for an astronomical price!"
Duan Ling Tian watched with great interest. After all, this was the highlight of the auction.
At this moment, someone called out impatiently, "Hurry up and start the auction!"
Zhou Yu smiled in satisfaction when she saw the crowd's reaction. She glanced at the jade slip before she said, "The opening bid for this lord-grade cultivation method, the Six Gods Profound Shadow Technique, is 100,000 taels of divine rocks."
However, after Zhou Yu finished speaking, no one made a bid at all.
A few people looked at each other in confusion before they began to whisper among themselves.
"What's going on? How come no one's bidding for it? Although 100,000 taels of divine rocks are a lot for us, it's nothing but mere change for those lord-rank forces, right?"
"Let alone a lord-rank force, just a high-ranking official from a lord-rank force possesses hundreds of thousands of divine rocks!"
"So what's going on? Didn't you say there are five lord-rank forces present today, including the Hidden Fog Sect?"
The atmosphere was a little awkward now. After all, quite some time had passed since the item was brought out, but no one had yet to bid for it. It was rather strange that no one was bidding for it.
…
At this time, Zhong Si, the Fourth Leader of the Zhong clan, and the other members of the king-rank forces were tempted to bid for the lord-grade Six Gods Profound Shadow Technique.
In room twelve.
A burly old man asked the middle-aged man sitting next to him, "Aren't you going to bid for it? Didn't we come to the auction for the lord-grade cultivation method?"
The middle-aged man had an angry-looking scar on the left side of his face, making him look very fierce. Upon hearing the old man's words, he sighed and said with a helpless expression, "I really want to bid for it, but I can't.."
