*****

Everyone, except Xavier—who was clueless about the identity of the so-called Grandfather and granddaughter duo—was stunned upon hearing the reporter's words. They swiftly turned their attention to the young man on his knees, still gasping for breath, a clear indication that he had run over with all his strength. The workers then exchanged glances, their surprise evident.

The following second, their eyes lit up with joy as though they had finally received a piece of good news after days

  • Chapter 1664 – Matthew’s Fury

    *****A moment ago, Xavier had been viewed as a troublesome outsider who had somehow managed to offend nearly everyone in the Upper Realm. Now, the same people who had been silently calculating how to deal with him were practically fighting over the privilege of taking him home.He had somehow transformed from a walking death sentence into the hottest recruit at the auction.Finally, one of the men could no longer tolerate waiting. He stepped forward and went straight to the point.“Young brother, would you be willing to join our sect? We are an A-rank sect, and we are willing to make you an inner disciple immediately. You will have access to resources that ordinary disciples can only dream about.”His straightforward approach immediately earned him several hostile glares.“Join our sect instead, young master,” another man quickly interrupted. “We are willing to pour every resource at our disposal into nurturing you. With your incredible talent and wealth, reaching the B-rank would on

  • Chapter 1663 – A Ridiculous Situation

    *****Meanwhile, the auctioneer stared across the Upper Realm windows and confirmed exactly what she had expected.Not a single person was willing to counter Xavier’s bid.“$300 billion and an A-rank cultivation manual, going twice.”Silence answered her.The auctioneer lifted the bell, her expression remaining perfectly professional despite the absurdity of the situation.“Sold!”The bell rang crisply through the auction hall, officially declaring Xavier the winner.Xavier smiled faintly before turning toward Mistress Ayra, intending to share the moment with her. However, the smile on his face disappeared almost immediately when he saw her expression.She was staring at him with tears shimmering in her eyes.Xavier blinked, genuinely confused.“Are you… okay?” he asked, his voice carrying a hint of concern.Mistress Ayra opened her mouth, but no words came out.Her lips trembled slightly as she stared at him, her mind struggling to process what had just happened.‘Sir Patriarch actua

  • Chapter 1662 - Calculations

    *****“Three hundred billion dollars, in addition to an A-rank cultivation technique.”The words were delivered so casually that, for a fraction of a second, nobody seemed to understand what they had just heard.Then the entire auction house fell silent so profoundly that the massive cruise ship might as well have stopped moving.Hundreds of people stared at Xavier, their expressions gradually transforming from disbelief into utter bewilderment.An A-rank cultivation technique?Those words carried a weight entirely different from money and every other item that had been mentioned in this auction.Money could be earned, resources could be accumulated, and even powerful treasures could occasionally be discovered through luck.But an A-rank cultivation technique?That was something else entirely.Techniques of that level were among the most fiercely guarded and gatekeeping secrets in the world.Only a handful of powerful factions possessed them, and those factions treated their technique

  • Chapter 1661

    *****“$10 billion!”“$20 billion!”The bidding escalated so rapidly that nearly everyone in the Lower Realm felt their hearts climb into their throats.The numbers being shouted from the Upper Realm had long since passed the point where ordinary cultivators could comprehend them. Ten billion, twenty billion, thirty billion... each figure sounded more ridiculous than the last, yet the people calling them out spoke as though they were discussing the price of lunch.What shocked everyone even more, however, was not the astronomical prices themselves. They already knew the people occupying the Upper Realm possessed terrifying financial power, and after witnessing the earlier bidding, nobody could honestly pretend otherwise.What truly stunned them was Xavier.He was still keeping up.Every time someone raised the price, another bid came from Xavier. Whenever the Upper Realm pushed the figure higher, he calmly pushed it higher still, showing absolutely no indication that his financial res

  • Chapter 1660 – Mistress Ayra’s Revelation

    *****The people in the Upper Realm gradually abandoned all restraint.Billions of dollars were thrown into the auction as casually as though they were discussing thousands.Every time someone raised the price, another representative answered. The expressions behind the windows grew increasingly solemn, and the atmosphere became so tense that it seemed a single wrong word could ignite a war.Meanwhile, the people in the Lower Realm could only sit there and stare.Their minds struggled to process what they were witnessing.Billions.Actual billions.And these people were throwing the money around as though they were buying vegetables from a roadside market.One Lower Realm guest stared at the Upper Realm windows with his mouth slightly open.‘Do these people print money?’Another secretly swallowed.‘At this rate, I could sell everything I own and still not qualify to raise a card.’Yet the auction continued.Amid all of it, Xavier looked completely detached from the madness surroundin

  • Chapter 1659 – Billion-Dollars Bids

    *****No one had anticipated the auctioneer’s words.Discovering a teleportation portal connected to an ancient cultivation ruin was already extraordinarily difficult.Discovering one that led to a ruin at least a thousand years old was even more astonishing.But finding an ancient ruin whose spiritual formations had remained active for centuries pushed the discovery into an entirely different realm.The probability of stumbling upon such a place was almost nonexistent.And even if someone were fortunate enough to discover it, why would they announce it to others?Why would they tell people they trusted?And more importantly, why in the world would they put such a discovery up for auction?Anyone with half a brain would hide the information, investigate the ruin privately, and monopolize whatever treasures remained inside.Yet the Celestial Pearl was doing the exact opposite.“What’s the catch?”The casual question suddenly came from one of the Upper Realm chambers.Everyone recognize
