Ganwu Auction

The rumors were no exaggeration.

In fact, the reality was even more terrifying than the rumors.

The two composed themselves, their expressions growing even more reverent.

"Mr. Qian Yu."

The taller man spoke first, bowing slightly as he handed over a silver spatial ring.

"All the supplies you ordered a year ago are in this ring. Please verify them."

Qian Yu took the ring and nodded slightly.

World energy surged into it.

The space inside the ring was immense, with items neatly categorized and arranged. An F9-Class Cosmic Ship hovered silently in one corner.

Two sets of Immortal-Level Battle Armor gleamed with dark gold light.

Two Immortal-Level Battle Blades lay with their long blades exposed, sharp and imposing. A Large Detector and a Precision Small Detector rested quietly beside a pile of Cosmic Crystals.

And the secret techniques were stacked neatly to one side.

Qian Yu's divine sense swept through, checking each item one by one.

After a moment, he looked up and nodded.

"Good."

He put the ring away, glanced at the two, and said calmly, "Thank you both."

The two quickly shook their heads.

"No, this is our duty."

The shorter man replied respectfully.

"Since the goods have been delivered, we'll take our leave."

Qian Yu nodded.

"Farewell."

The two bowed again, turned, and boarded their ship.

The hatch closed, and the deep-blue vessel slowly rose into the sky, soon breaking through the atmosphere and vanishing into the starry void.

Inside the ship.

Only after they had left Silver Blue Star's atmosphere did the two exhale in unison.

The taller man wiped at the nonexistent sweat on his forehead and sighed, "So this is the Qian Yu who's shaken the entire Ganwu Universe Country?"

The shorter man nodded. "I heard he killed Pan Xi, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Organization. Taking him out single-handedly—Qian Yu's strength is no joke."

"More than no joke."

The taller man shook his head.

"Did you feel that pressure just now? We're both at the peak of Realm Lord Ninth Stage, yet we felt our hearts tremble in his presence. If that kid keeps growing, he'll at least become a Marquis Immortal, maybe even a Sealed King."

The shorter man agreed deeply.

"I heard he used to be a slave. To cultivate to this level in just over a hundred years—it's almost unbelievable."

"Whatever."

The taller man shrugged.

"Maybe he had a lucky break. The universe is vast; stranger things have happened. We just deliver the goods—none of our business."

The shorter man nodded, then recalled something and chuckled. "The Fire Phoenix Organization was cursed to offend him. I heard that after Pan Xi died, the remaining directors are terrified, afraid Qian Yu will come knocking. Who knows what that kid will do next."

"Who can say?"

"Just wonder how long this rising star will shine."

"No idea."

The shorter man shook his head.

"Forget it. Let's just get back and report."

The ship accelerated, entered the Dark Universe, and disappeared.

On the plaza of Silver Blue Star.

Qian Yu watched the ship depart, then turned and walked toward the great hall.

Over the past year, Qian Yu had broken through to Realm Lord.

Breaking through to Realm Lord, given his comprehension of the laws, was extremely simple—no barriers at all. When he wanted to break through, he just did.

He finally had a clear grasp of the timeline now.

If nothing unexpected happened, the next Genius War would be the era when Luo Feng and the others rose to prominence.

He had already visited the void region of the Milky Way, and it was indeed shrouded by Hu Yanbo's spatial secret technique.

The profundity of that spatial secret technique was not deep.

If he activated Space-Time Control, he could easily break it—but he simply chose not to.

He did not want to interfere too much with the original storyline's progression.

During this time, he had done only one thing on Earth: he replaced the original Yun Mo Star No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins with his own Qian Yu civilization ruins.

In the future, as long as Luo Feng entered these ruins to explore, he would receive word and could come directly.

If the situation allowed at that time, taking Luo Feng as a disciple was not out of the question.

Just as he was thinking this, light gathered beside him, coalescing into the phantom of a green-haired woman.

"Master."

She spoke softly, her voice crisp and pleasant.

"You have an email from the Cosmic Star River Bank."

This green-haired woman was a high-grade AI Qian Yu had recently acquired, named Qing Wan.

Qian Yu did not stop walking and nodded slightly.

"Open it."

Qing Wan raised her hand and tapped lightly; a virtual screen materialized out of thin air before Qian Yu's eyes.

She introduced softly at the same time: "It is an invitation from the Ganwu Auction."

"The Ganwu Auction?"

Qian Yu paused briefly in his steps and looked at the screen.

On the screen, an exquisitely crafted invitation was displayed quietly.

The content of the letter was concise and clear, inviting Mr. Qian Yu to attend the upcoming Ganwu Auction, scheduled three days from now.

"The minimum requirement to attend the Ganwu Auction is a three-star client."

Qing Wan added.

"Since Master is currently a six-star client, you are naturally invited."

Qian Yu nodded slightly.

The Ganwu Auction was the most grand auction house in the entire Ganwu Universe Country. At the auction, treasures rarely seen in ordinary times would appear, and even some restricted-grade items might make an appearance.

"Three days from now—"

Qian Yu pondered for a moment.

He had just settled down and had originally planned to go into seclusion for a while to digest those secret techniques and resources.

But missing an opportunity like the Ganwu Auction would indeed be a pity.

At this level of auction, there were plenty of good items.

He might even encounter treasures he couldn't normally buy, or special items useful to him.

"Then I'll attend and take a look."

Qian Yu made his decision.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Virtual Universe, Black Dragon Mountain Island.

Qian Yu's figure appeared above the island.

He needed to teleport to the Ganwu Continent first before he could enter the Ganwu Auction venue.

With a thought—

Whoosh!

Qian Yu's figure vanished instantly, teleporting away from Black Dragon Mountain Island.

Above the Ganwu Continent, a massive Suspended City floated amidst the clouds.

Qian Yu's figure materialized out of thin air, the Suspended City just below him not far away.

The city's body was constructed entirely from jade-white rock, surrounded by drifting immortal mist, with beautiful scenery and flowers and plants visible everywhere, like a paradise on earth.

The invitation in his hand glowed faintly, emitting specks of light that touched the Suspended City's defensive barrier.

The barrier automatically opened a passage.

Qian Yu stepped inside.

At the very center of the Suspended City stood an immensely vast building—the auction hall.

The Ganwu Auction was always held here.

Qian Yu landed on the square before the auction hall, where two long queues had already formed at the entrance.

Powerhouses from all over the universe were lining up to enter.

Those powerhouses came in all shapes and forms: there were towering, burly men seven or eight meters tall, radiating a savage aura;

there were cold figures that seemed to be burning flames, the space around them slightly warped; there were sinister dwarfs only a meter tall but with three eyes, whose gaze inspired fear.
