Three Axe Mountain's Invitation

Although the Golden Horn Beast was still an egg right now, it already possessed a faint consciousness.

But Luo Feng had the inheritance Soul Seal left behind by Hu Yanbo, which was more than enough for him to possess the Golden Horn Beast. He did not need to burn his soul like in the original story.

Very soon, under Babata's guidance, Luo Feng began possessing the Golden Horn Beast.

On Gu Ce's side, he was not idle either.

The auction held by Universe First Bank for all customers of three stars and above throughout the Qianwu Universe Country was about to begin.

The level of this auction was even higher than the Qianwu Auction.

This was an internal auction held by Universe First Bank's Qianwu Branch. Some treasures that were useful even to Immortals would appear as the final trump cards!

Although Three-Star Customers could participate, the main targets were still Immortal customers of four stars and above. Ordinary Three-Star Customers did not even have the right to know this auction existed; they had to be brought in by a customer of four stars or above to enter.

"Master, this time, we mainly just need to buy resources for cultivating the Star-Eating Grass," Rimuru said.

With the Six Eyes' absurd ability, Gu Ce had no need to buy any treasures that helped with Law Comprehension. He already had weapons and a Force Battle Suit too, so there were not many things left that he needed to buy.

It mainly depended on luck—he would see if there were any good items worth buying at the auction.

"Let's go take a look first and see what the situation is," Gu Ce said with a smile.

Virtual Universe.

Gu Ce took out an invitation to the auction and willed it.

"Teleport."

Whoosh!

The next instant, Gu Ce's figure instantly vanished from Black Dragon Mountain Island and was teleported into a strange space.

Universe First Bank's Qianwu Branch headquarters in the Virtual Universe!

People came and went in this enormous city. The scenery was beautiful, and all kinds of rare flowers, plants, and trees could be seen everywhere. Any one of them, if placed in reality, would be a treasure capable of making Universe Level powerhouses fight over it.

"Hello, sir. Welcome to the auction held by Universe First Bank. As you are a Four-Star Customer, you may take a seat on the second-floor viewing platform. This is your seat number."

Because Four-Star Customers had long since been marked, the moment Gu Ce arrived at the auction entrance, a staff member warmly invited him inside, drawing sideways glances from many World Lords nearby.

"Which family's genius is that? They're actually willing to give him a four-star account?"

"I had to ask the Divine Lord for help and pay quite a price before I got the qualification to enter this auction!"

"Forget that. I heard this time there's..."

The people outside were talking, making an incredible racket, but it no longer had anything to do with Gu Ce.

After entering the auction hall, he found it divided into three levels.

The first-floor hall was provided for Three-Star Customers. It had millions of seats, each six meters wide and ten meters tall, taking up an enormous area.

The second-floor viewing platforms were provided for Four-Star Customers. Each platform was relatively independent, measuring a hundred meters in length and width. The seats were also equipped with all kinds of drinks and fruits, with dedicated staff providing service.

As for the third-floor private rooms, only Five-Star Customers had the qualifications to enter them. They were basically all Marquis Level existences, and they generally would not appear here.

"There won't be too many World Lords participating in this auction. Most of them should be Immortals," Rimuru introduced.

Gu Ce nodded.

More than a hundred thousand World Lords were already seated in the hall. It seemed like a lot, but compared with the Qianwu Auction, it was still rather few.

Most of the World Lords who could come here were quite wealthy. They had come to buy things they normally could not come into contact with.

The surrounding viewing platforms were shrouded in a layer of thick mist, making it impossible to see whether anyone was inside.

After a long wait.

"Everyone!"

A clear voice instantly spread out, echoing throughout the entire auction hall. The vast auction hall immediately fell silent, and everyone consciously stopped talking.

The auction officially began!

Gu Ce's eyes focused as he stared fixedly at the stage below.

"Brother Hong!" Thor shouted excitedly.

"We finally succeeded!"

"Yeah." Hong's voice was a little weak, but he had a smile on his face as well.

After spending more than five months, the two of them had finally passed the Cosmic Trainee Mercenary Assessment!

It was funny, really. The assessment itself was not difficult. They needed to go to a dangerous planet and obtain a certain item, and the threats on that planet were not particularly great for them.

However, on that planet, they ran into someone who claimed to be a Prince of the Silver Blue Empire. He wanted to snatch the spatial rings on their hands, including the item required for the assessment.

They knew of the Silver Blue Empire. It was the elementary civilization country that controlled the Milky Way Galaxy. Its ruler seemed to be only a World Lord.

That Prince's own strength was not very high either. He merely had quite a few Stellar Level slaves following him.

Seeing that Hong and Thor had spatial rings but no slaves following them, he planned to attack and rob them.

Hong and Thor had actually bought Stellar Level slaves, but they felt that with slaves helping them, they would not achieve much of a tempering effect, so they had told the slaves to follow from far behind. They had not expected to be targeted by someone.

If they were targeted, how could they endure that?

Neither of them was weak-willed. They immediately decided to make a move and teach that Prince a lesson!

Relying on the unique terrain of that planet, the two led their group of slaves and ran the Prince in circles.

Hong, who had come from an assassin background, even thought up many assassination methods. He assassinated the slaves beside the Prince one after another, scaring the Prince witless and making him cry and beg for mercy.

With the idea of cutting the weeds and pulling out the roots, the two ultimately killed that Prince and gained quite a lot of wealth from him.

After killing the Prince, the two were finally able to complete the Cosmic Trainee Mercenary Assessment and officially become trainee mercenaries!

"That wasn't easy." Thor sighed. "Brother Hong, do you think after we killed that Prince, the Silver Blue Empire's imperial family will retaliate against us?"

Hong's brows furrowed tightly. He was clearly considering the possibility of this problem.

In the end, he shook his head.

"That Prince said he ranked eleventh. He probably wasn't an important Prince. Besides, Earth's coordinates were concealed by Luo Feng's teacher using a secret technique. Even if the ruler of the Silver Blue Empire came over, he wouldn't be able to discover Earth."

"That's good." Thor let out a sigh of relief.

"Compared to that, we should worry about the situation in front of us first," Hong said gravely.

There were quite a few people participating in the Cosmic Mercenary assessment on that planet.

Among them were members of Hundred Tiger Tower, one of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's four great civilian organizations.

One of the people on good terms with that Prince, who had been traveling with him, was a First-Class Elite of Hundred Tiger Tower!

Naturally, this First-Class Elite had also been killed by Hong and Thor.

At this time, Hong had already reached the fourth level of domain, and Thor had also reached the second level of domain.

In terms of Gene Energy, their rate of progress had not been slow either. Relying on all kinds of treasures, they had risen to around the third stage of Stellar Level.

With strength like this, killing an elite of Hundred Tiger Tower was simply all too normal.

Because of that, after the two left that planet, they were targeted by Hundred Tiger Tower's people!

Just as the two were thinking of a countermeasure, inside the spaceship, Thor suddenly said, "Brother Hong, the people from Three Axe Mountain have invited us to join their organization!"

Hong was taken aback and discovered that he had received the same invitation.

"Meet in the Virtual Universe?" Hong murmured.

Three Axe Mountain was the foremost of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's four great civilian organizations, and its founder was an Immortal existence!
