Chapter 2103: Auction and Tempering

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Forget it, if we can’t compete, then we can’t compete. After all, our financial resources are insufficient, and we can’t compete with those top overlord forces with Dao Venerables overseeing them."

A prodigy said helplessly.

"Indeed." Someone agreed.

"Come, come, everyone, let’s keep drinking tea, don’t think about these unpleasant things." Fei Hong invited everyone to drink tea, smiling brightly, but felt quite frustrated inside.

In terms of talent, he’s really not inferior to Miaoyin Fairy and the Young Lord of Shenque City; it’s fair to say they are equally matched.

What a pity!

A backer that’s not as strong!

"Drink tea, drink tea, don’t think about those unhappy things. Besides, the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s tomb is too important, and only those at the Dao Monarch Realm are qualified to compete for it, we should just ignore it."

A seventh-turn Heavenly Venerable prodigy said.

"Exactly, exactly." Everyone nodded and continued drinking tea and chatting, soon putting the matter behind them.

Ye Feng was thinking about other things.

Currently, in three months, he can complete the remaining three heavenly tribulations, successfully evolving the Three Realms Universe into a true Chaos Three Lives Universe, advancing to the Heavenly Dao Realm.

As for the sect members, there are nearly eighty Heavenly Venerables now, but only half have completed the mission of slaying enemies across levels.

So, task one is still incomplete.

"I must purchase some heavenly materials and earth treasures in Soaring Sky City that can quickly enhance the disciples’ foundations."

Ye Feng thought to himself.

Sect members can cultivate the new improved version of "Nine Heavens Profound Art" that he modified to strengthen their foundations, propelling their combat power into the Invincible Supreme Domain.

But not everyone has the potential to cultivate Nine Heavens Profound Art to the subsequent turns.

Most people can only elevate their combat power to the ordinary Invincible Supreme level, which is the limit.

Hence, other methods must be relied upon for enhancement.

Absorbing heavenly materials and earth treasures is one such method.

"Recently, I looted the treasury of the Blood Robe Dao Monarch in the Blood Sea and acquired many top-notch heavenly materials and earth treasures, already used up, elevating over ten disciples’ foundations from several times the ordinary Invincible Supreme level to more than ten times the ordinary Invincible Supreme level."

"Now, they have all advanced to Heavenly Venerable, slaying second-turn Heavenly Venerable foes across levels."

"But it’s still not enough!"

There are very few heavenly materials and earth treasures that can enhance foundations, even the Blood Robe Dao Monarch’s treasury had only a dozen kinds.

"Lin Daotong, do you know where in Soaring Sky City I can buy treasures that enhance foundations?"

Ye Feng choose to ask others.

Lin Daotong smiled and said: "There’s an auction, but the prices will certainly start at over a billion Origin Stones. By the way, has your foundation exceeded ten times the ordinary Invincible Supreme level? If so, those treasures wouldn’t be useful anymore."

"Yes, it has exceeded, why?" Ye Feng was surprised.

"The rule of heaven and earth is a limitation. Once the foundation exceeds ten times the ordinary Invincible Supreme level, it’s very difficult to further enhance it through devouring heavenly materials and earth treasures. Unless it’s those heaven-defying level treasures, but such things, they probably start at a hundred billion Origin Stones, even Dao Monarchs would compete."

Lin Daotong explained.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng gained knowledge and expressed that he was purchasing for the sect members.

"I see! But, the transaction price of these treasures is at least over a billion Origin Stones. Ye Feng, you are so generous to purchase them for sect members, I can only say you are too benevolent as Sect Leader, makes me want to join your Misty Holy Sect, hahaha!"

Lin Daotong joked.

Ye Feng grinned: "Sect members are like family to me, I’m naturally willing to give them everything."

"You’re a good Sect Leader." Lin Daotong gave Ye Feng a thumbs-up, "By the way, how many of such treasures are you planning to purchase for the sect members?"

"I’ll buy fifty first then!" Ye Feng said.

Fifty is enough to complete task one.

"Pfft!" Lin Daotong was shocked and sprayed out a mouthful of tea, "F... fifty? That’s a fifty billion Origin Stones price, I don’t even have that many readily available Origin Stones, and you are willing to consume so much Origin Stones just to enhance the sect members’ foundations."

Ye Feng smiled in silence.

He looted the ancestral land of the Abyss Clan and also grabbed a treasury of the Blood Robe Dao Monarch, his current Origin Stone stock exceeds a hundred billion pounds, he’s extremely wealthy.

Frankly speaking, his wealth matches that of a slightly poorer early-stage Dao Monarch.

"Fellow Daoists, the auction is about to start, shall we attend a small auction first?"

At this moment, Fei Hong stood up.

"Alright, let’s go!"

"Been looking forward to it."

Everyone got up, and over a hundred Heavenly Venerable realm prodigies from various major forces walked out of the teahouse, attracting much attention on the street.

Ye Feng mingled in the crowd, heading there together.

After half a moment.

Everyone entered another Holy Temple.

This is an auction held by Soaring Sky City itself, considered an interlude in the grand event, not yet the mainstream auction for the tokens of Annihilation Dao Venerable, but there will be treasures that enhance cultivators’ foundations up for bidding.

Ye Feng’s target is this.

At the seats.

Lin Daotong said to Ye Feng: "This auction is targeted at our younger generation, so there aren’t many treasures, I know there will be five heavenly materials and earth treasures to enhance foundations appearing, with starting bids presumably around tens of millions of pounds of Origin Stones, the final price is unknown, likely close to eighty million or a hundred million."

"I’ve decided to put out five hundred million, not worried." Ye Feng, wealthy and assertive, could compete with Miaoyin Fairy and Shenque City’s Young Lord, and not necessarily lose to them.

"Hello everyone!"

A voice full of allure rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

A stunning mature woman wearing a blood-red cheongsam with a graceful figure stood on stage, elegantly waving a pink folding fan in her slender hand, exuding charm.

This was the host for today’s auction.

"This auction is hosted by our True Dragon Commerce Association, with three hundred and fourteen auction items, up next is the bidding for a piece of Primordial Divine Dragon Jade, it’s of Five-turn Heavenly Venerable level, refining it can enhance foundations, but it’s only effective for foundations below five times the ordinary Invincible Supreme."

The mature woman in the blood-red cheongsam introduced with a smile.

Immediately, a maid came in carrying a tray, displaying a square jade roughly the size of a fist, its interior teeming with countless True Dragon auras.

This was the treasure blood of the Primordial Divine Dragon!

"Primordial Divine Dragon blood essence of Dao Monarch level, not very useful for Dao Monarchs, but can boost the foundations of the younger generation, gentlemen, you may want to try it!"

"By the way, starting bid is fifteen million Origin Stones, single bid increment must not be less than one million."

The mature woman in the blood-red cheongsam said.

"What kind of force is the True Dragon Commerce Association?" Ye Feng asked Tian Qi and Lin Daotong beside him.

"True Dragon Commerce Association is a super force spanning over half of the Origin of All Things area, alongside Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger, known as the Four Great Commerce Associations; all are truly invincible forces, with Boundless Venerables overseeing."

Lin Daotong explained first.

Tian Qi supplemented: "The distribution of True Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger Four Great Commerce Associations just happens to cover the entire Origin of All Things area. Our Yunzhou is one of the coverage areas of True Dragon Commerce Association."

"A force with Boundless Venerables present is indeed a super force, very strong." Ye Feng said.

"Twenty million!"

At this moment, someone has already started bidding.

"Twenty-five million!" Ye Feng followed up, and directly increased the bid by five million, showcasing financial power.

"Thirty million." Someone increased the bid.

"Forty million." Ye Feng said, concerning sect sub-task, he didn’t want to miss this treasure.

"You’ve got guts!" A prodigy snorted, not wanting to continue bidding, after all, it’s merely a blood essence from a Dao Monarch level True Dragon, not worth a high price.

Later, a few others raised their bids, but as Ye Feng called out a high price of seventy million pounds of Origin Stones, other competitors gave up the fight.

"Seventy million, that’s acceptable," Ye Feng thought to himself.

As long as it doesn’t exceed a hundred million, it’s fine.

"Congratulations to Ye Feng, for successfully bidding on the Primordial Divine Dragon Blood Jade. Once all items have been auctioned, we will proceed with the on-site exchange, all in cash,"

said the woman in the blood-red cheongsam.

She didn’t give Ye Feng another look, as she was part of the True Dragon Commerce Association and had seen the world. Several million kilograms of Origin Stone didn’t impress her much.

Soon, the auction continued.

There were pieces of Immortal Gold, Heavenly Venerable Divine Skills, and Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons, each worth a fortune, starting at a million kilograms of Origin Stone.

Ye Feng occasionally bid on some Immortal Gold.

The starting price was a million kilograms of Origin Stone, but the actual transaction price often reached tens of millions.

"Next up for auction is the Heavenly Spirit Liquid."

Upon hearing the name, Ye Feng became interested, knowing it could enhance the foundations of Sect Members, he decisively bid spending eighty million Origin Stones to finally secure this item.

The woman in the blood-red cheongsam couldn’t help but glance at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng had already secured several treasures, with a total transaction price exceeding two hundred million Origination Stones, marking him as a notable customer worthy of her attention.

Soon after, Ye Feng continued to bid.

He acquired five Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that appeared at the auction to enhance foundations, along with some Immortal Gold and ancient scriptures, with a total transaction price of four hundred million Origin Stones.

"This guy is quite wealthy."

The crowd turned their heads, thinking Ye Feng, the Misty Holy Sect Leader, was truly generous, spending billions of Origination Stones to purchase various treasures for the Sect Members.

"The Misty Holy Sect Leader? A prodigy of the Five-turn Heavenly Venerable, quite interesting. If possible, recruit him into our True Dragon Commerce Association as a subordinate force."

thought the woman in the blood-red cheongsam.

The auction continued and finally ended at midnight today, with everyone quickly completing the transactions.

On the street.

Ye Feng walked with all the other prodigies to Fei Hong’s residence, where they enjoyed a banquet.

Shenzhou Continent.

Ye Feng divided a strand of consciousness, extracting the Primordial Divine Dragon Blood Ancient Jade, among other treasures, and distributing them to the elites among the second-generation disciples like Ning Xiangxiang and Lan Die.

This could enhance their foundations by several folds, reaching ten times that of the ordinary Invincible Supreme.

So, they possessed the power to defeat enemies across levels.

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for nurturing us!"

Lan Die, Ning Xiangxiang, and the others expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

Ye Feng’s soul fragment said, "Cultivate well, strive to break through the foundations early, then execute those miscreant Second-Turn Heavenly Venerables, completing the task of defeating strong enemies across levels, understand?"

The System Tasks couldn’t be spoken openly.

But he could turn them into special training tasks within the sect without exposing the existence of the system.

After a few more reminders, Ye Feng withdrew his soul fragment.

In Soaring Sky City, at Fei Hong’s residence.

Everyone toasted and exchanged glasses, creating a lively atmosphere, occasionally chatting about interesting stories, or discussing cultivation issues.

Ye Feng learned stealthily, benefiting greatly.

Within Shenzhou Continent.

Rumble!

Lan Die fused with a Crystal Core named the Deep Blue Behemoth’s Heart, amplifying her foundation several times, finally surpassing ten times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme, acquiring the ability to transcend levels.

"Well done, another one!"

Ye Feng licked his lips and arranged for Lan Die to pass through a Door of the Outer Realm placed outside Soaring Sky City, heading to the Origin of All Things to prepare for battle.

Outside Soaring Sky City.

Lan Die appeared, accompanied by several disciples whose combat power had just surpassed ten times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme, carrying Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons refined by Ye Feng, flying around to choose opponents.

Three million miles away.

Lan Die arrived at this place, seeing a Second-Turn Heavenly Venerable enslaving a city of a million souls below, immediately shouted a loud and earth-shattering denunciation.

"Evil creature, cease your havoc!"

With that said, Lan Die unleashed the aura of a One-Turn Heavenly Venerable, grasping a blue thin sword, coldly glaring at the Heavenly Venerable below with twin horns.

"Where did this ant come from, daring to meddle in my affairs, are you seeking death?" Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable snapped.

"You enslaving millions of souls, deserve to die!" Lan Die scanned with Divine Sense, knew that the souls below were all innocent, living well before. But this Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable heartlessly enslaved them after passing by.

"Busybody! A mere One-Turn Heavenly Venerable! But, seems you’re a chick, let me suppress you, then dual cultivate daily, devour your cultivation level, hahaha!"

Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable laughed wickedly.

"Suppress me? Dream on!" Lan Die suddenly took a deep breath, formula-seals in the left hand, raising the blue thin sword high in the right hand, absorbing the surrounding energy.

"Something’s off!" Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable sensed Lan Die’s strong combat power, immediately clenching both fists, body expanding, transforming into a towering Primordial Giant Ox, charging toward Lan Die.

"Shadowy sky, Lingering Kill!"

Lan Die completed the brewing, executed this Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability personally tailor-made by Ye Feng for her, absorbing the universal energy to amplify herself. Coupled with her combat power exceeding a dozen times that of an ordinary Invincible Supreme, the sword Qi cleaved off one of Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable’s horns.

"Moo!"

Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable cried in pain, crazily charging at Lan Die, causing her to vomit blood and get knocked back.

"Unworthy of the Second-Turn Heavenly Venerable, so strong!"

Lan Die activated a Life-type Secret Art, resulting in an endless flow of vitality inside, healing the injury, then continued battling fiercely with Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable.

"That little girl is so ruthless!"

Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable was shocked to find that he, a Second-Turn Heavenly Venerable, was suppressed by the opponent, his injuries worsened, and much of his Taoist skills were eradicated.

"Look, there’s a heavenly venerable level battle over there."

"Let’s go check it out!"

The fluctuations of the battle were not weak, quickly attracting some Heavenly Venerables from Soaring Sky City to watch nearby.

"Look, it’s a disciple of the Misty Holy Sect!" someone recognized the characters on Lan Die’s clothing.

"The Misty Holy Sect? What force is that?" someone didn’t know about this sect.

"It’s a sect created by a guy named Ye Feng. It’s said that Sect Leader Ye Feng just spent billions of Origin Stones at the True Dragon Commerce Association’s auction to specifically purchase treasures enhancing the foundations for his sect members."

"Wow, billions of Origin Stones?"

"He truly is wealthy!"

Several Heavenly Venerables gasped, knowing those who could easily take out billions of Origin Stones were certainly rich.

"Die!"

Lan Die paid no mind to the onlookers, after multiple powerups, finally unleashed a sharp, destructive sword Qi, splitting open Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable’s skull, erasing his soul.

A Second-Turn Heavenly Venerable, falls!

"Transcending levels to defeat enemies, so strong!"

"This Misty Holy Sect disciple could be considered a monster,"

the onlookers exclaimed.

Lan Die ignored the crowd, collected Ox Horn Heavenly Venerable’s corpse, and headed back to Soaring Sky City.

Ye Feng had said that he would be there.

After defeating strong enemies, went to Soaring Sky City to reunite.
