The guests in the grand hall were taken aback, their heads swiveling towards private room number four with a collective gasp. The sudden commotion was palpable, and whispers began to circulate among the crowd."Private room number four? If I'm not mistaken, those are the members of the Lightning Sword Sect!" a guest exclaimed, and the guests around him nodded in agreement.Meanwhile, in private room number 2, Adam's eyes widened slightly as he listened to the murmurs from the hall. His gaze shifted towards Chi'er, who was stood beside him, her expression unreadable.Adam's curiosity got the better of him, and he leaned forward. "The Lightning Sword Sect? Are they powerful?"Chi'er's expression remained calm, but a hint of a smile played on her lips. "They are one of the five major superpowers in the Sacred Immortal Realm," she began, her voice measured. "The Yan Clan, the owner of the Lightning Sword Sect, is rumored to have produced an invincible powerhouse who surpassed the realm of
The guests were torn between shock and awe. On the one hand, 11 billion was already an astronomical money, and to offer an additional billion was insane. On the other hand, the Lightning Sword Sect was known for their wealth and power, and Yan Taishan was clearly not afraid to display his wealth. After all, he was the most genius young man of the sect, who was currently also first on the list of candidates to become the successor of the sect head.However, Yan Taishan himself remained calm and collected, his eyes fixed on private room number ten. He had to win the auction and get his hands on the Ice Dragon beast cores. He knew that the Lightning Sword Sect needed the cores to refine a powerful weapon, and the cores would be a valuable asset in the upcoming battle against their enemies.The beautiful woman in private room number ten, Shu Meiyin, looked surprised for a moment. She had not expected Yan Taishan to outbid her so soon, and she had not thought that the competition would bec
The atmosphere in the grand hall was electric with curiosity, as whispers spread like wildfire among the guests. "Did you hear that?" someone asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "I bet the person in private room number two is poor and doesn't have any spirit stones."His neighbor leaned in, a hint of intrigue in his voice. "Well, maybe they don't have spirit stones, but the person in that room has a lot of unique treasures. I've never seen anyone rely solely on exchanges at an auction before."The room fell silent as the guests pondered the mystery. Some nodded in agreement, their eyes fixed on the door of private room number 2, while others leaned back in their chairs, their faces a picture of skepticism. The bigshots who occupied the private rooms, however, seemed to think differently. They whispered among themselves, their eyes gleaming with a mixture of excitement and envy. "The occupant of room number 2 must be very special," one of them said. "He's not afraid to show of
Next, some items were auctioned off.Although the bidding war was equally fierce, none of the items managed to get the unimaginable price that the Ice Dragon beast core did, falling to a more acceptable price range for everyone.Jiang Shuyin stood confidently at the podium, his voice booming through the room. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the final item of this extraordinary auction. Behold, the legendary Dragon Heart Vest!"When a beautiful woman carried the Dragon Heart Vest with both hands onto the auction stage, everyone seated in the hall stood up, craning their necks and opening their eyes wide as they stared unwaveringly at the vest.Under many piercing hot gazes, Jiang Shuyin explained the usage and assessment results to everyone present. "This celestial rank vest, imbued with the essence of the dragon, is said to grant the wearer immense strength. It is a treasure beyond measure, and I am confident that it will fetch a price that will surpass all expectations."The a
Chi'er stood there in disbelief and opened her mouth to say something, but her voice caught in her throat. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. "For... me?" she asked hesitantly, her eyes still wide with shock.Adam nodded, his smile widening. "Yes, you. Consider it a gift from me."Chi'er couldn't believe her luck. She had never even seen 5 billion high grade spirit stone, let alone held or owned one. She was incredibly grateful to Adam and didn't know how to express her thanks.But Chi'er finally shook her head, tears filling her eyes as she looked at Adam. "No, no, I can't take it, Young Master. It's too much."Adam smiled kindly. "It's just spirit stones. It's not important to me, but it could be useful to you in your cultivation."Chi'er felt a lump form in her throat as she nodded, still unable to speak. She couldn't believe that someone could be so kind and generous, especially to someone like her, who was just a lowly servant.But with that spirit stones, she could p
Back to the present, Chi'er paused for a moment, considering. She knew that she couldn't just disobey her young master's orders, but she also didn't want to offend these important people."I'm sorry, Miss Jiang," Chi'er finnaly said, her voice firm but respectful. "But I'm afraid I cannot do that."Elder Hu, who had been waiting with impatience, became furious at Chi'er's refusal. He couldn't believe how this lowly servant could be so arrogant and disrespectful.Without warning, he stepped forward and attempted to break down the door to room number 2. But as soon as he touched the door, he was met with a powerful surge of energy that sent him flying back.Everyone gasped in shock, unable to believe what had just happened. Elder Hu was one of the most powerful cultivators in Shu Clan, and yet he had been easily defeated by a simple door.The other elder, quickly rushed over to check on him, but he was already unconscious.Shu Meiyin and Jiang Shuyin were both stunned by the display of
Adam was stunned. He had heard of the Divine Transformation realm, but he never imagined that he would be able to reach it so soon. At the same time, he was overwhelmed with fear. He knew that the Heavenly Tribulation was not something to be taken lightly, and the consequences of failure could be dire.However, there was no turning back now. Adam closed his eyes and began to focus on his spiritual energy. Suddenly, he vanished from the private room and appeared in the skies above the city of Hebei.Everyone on the ground below was shocked to see Adam hovering above them. He radiated a brilliant light, his body suffused with spiritual energy. It was as if he had become a god, soaring high above the clouds.The people of Hebei marveled at the sight, wondering who this mystical figure could be. They didn't know that this was Adam, the young man who had caused such a stir at the auction house.But a few people recognized him, and one of them was Chi'er."Who is that?" Elder Hu gasped, rec
As the stormy sky darkened, a radiant glow of divine warning illuminated the area. The light enveloped Adam's body, intensifying the atmosphere."Young Master!" Chi'er shouted frantically, rushing forward, but Jiang Shuyin swiftly blocked her path."Stay back!" Jiang Shuyin commanded urgently. "If this is indeed the tribulation lightning, you must know that no one can stop it or intervene!"For those who sought to become gods, tribulation lightning was their ultimate test, a form of divine retribution. The challenger was not allowed to rely on others' help. In fact, those who interfered would face the wrath of heaven.The sky erupted in a blaze of lightning, with rows of divine bolts striking directly at Adam.The city of Hebei was filled with the cacophony of shocked cries. In the cultivators' knowledge, tribulation lightning typically appeared after a few minutes of the lightning domain's formation.It was as if heaven granted the challenger a brief window of mercy, allowing them t
