"Once a Green Line Devouring Insect reaches adulthood, it becomes a Sector Lord. The difficulty of breaking through to immortality is even greater than that of the peak bloodline Starry Sky Behemoths..."
"Furthermore, although the Green Line Devouring Insect is a flesh-and-blood life form, its soul is unique, making it almost impossible to perform a soul transfer."
The seven-colored avian creature dutifully recited the detailed information regarding the Green Line Devouring Insect.
It placed particular emphasis on the difficulty of soul transfer or soul enslavement.
The human life level is almost the lowest among the billions of races in the Primal Universe.
Before becoming a Universe Venerable, the primary method for humans to improve their genetic level is through soul transfer.
It is merely a choice between transferring one's main body or a clone.
This is neither a secret nor a taboo among the human elite.
After all, many super-powerhouses who have shaken the universe are no longer in human form, or possess clones that are clearly not human but some form of special life.
Excluding the ability to gestate clones like the Golden Horned Beast, most are acquired through soul transfer.
There are even cases of soul transfer within the human race itself.
At the very least, Jiang Luo knew that Huyan Bo had once performed a soul transfer into a youth of the Longke Clan, a race ranked in the top thirty of human bloodlines.
Such situations are countless, which is why top human bloodline races like the Manka Star People and the Desolate God Race keep a very tight watch on their lower-tier clansmen, not easily letting them out to travel the universe.
Many powerhouses purchase these rare flesh-and-blood life forms often just to provide them for their descendants or disciples to perform soul transfers.
Once an undying spirit's soul transforms into a life imprint and merges with undying divine power, the ability to perform soul transfers is lost.
Sure enough, Jiang Luo saw that the starting bid price marked next to this 'Green Line Devouring Insect larva' was 10,000 Hunyuan Units.
The current highest bid was only 22,000 Hunyuan.
This price was far inferior to the larvae of the twelve peak bloodline Starry Sky Behemoths.
If the Flame Star Behemoth egg obtained by the Flint Star Sector Lord were placed here, it would absolutely be thousands or tens of thousands of times more expensive than this 'Green Line Devouring Insect larva'!
If soul transfer is not an option, one can only cultivate the Green Line Devouring Insect as a helper similar to an auxiliary plant life form, making its value quite mediocre.
Some of the innate abilities of the Green Line Devouring Insect can also be replaced by plant life forms like the Ten Thousand Feather Tree.
Unless one can cultivate the Green Line Devouring Insect to immortality.
But this is something that cannot be guaranteed 100% no matter how many resources are expended, and it is even more ethereal and unpredictable than cultivating a plant life form to immortality.
"Bid 23,000 Hunyuan Units," Jiang Luo said calmly.
The seven-colored avian replied smoothly, "Understood."
Immediately, the auction price next to the Green Line Devouring Insect larva rose from 22,000 Hunyuan to 23,000 Hunyuan, with Jiang Luo's five-star account name displayed behind it.
As long as no one bids higher than 23,000 Hunyuan within three days, this rare life form larva will belong to him.
Jiang Luo felt delighted in his heart: Coming to this intermediate auction was indeed the right choice. It would be great if there were more such living rare life forms in the future.
Special life forms are basically all few in number.
The twelve peak bloodline Starry Sky Behemoths belong to the lowest level of special life forms, but encountering a living one is still a matter of luck rather than skill.
Corpses of rare and special life forms are not uncommon; he had checked before, and the Universe Kingdom Treasury has a whole pile of them.
Even Luo Feng was able to buy Mosha Clan skin at an elementary auction of a Universe Kingdom.
But for Jiang Luo to devour bloodlines, he must have living special life forms.
This is far too rare.
Even if a human powerhouse were to encounter and capture a living special life form, they might not necessarily make it public.
Like the fact that the Flint Star Sector Lord obtained a Flame Star Behemoth egg—if the alien undying powerhouse who nearly killed him hadn't leaked the information, who would have known?
Three days passed quickly.
Jiang Luo ultimately secured the Green Line Devouring Insect larva for 37,000 Hunyuan Units.
Immediately following, the second batch of auction items went live, again 10,000 types!
"Locke Divine Water?"
Jiang Luo spotted one of the purposes of his visit to this auction at a glance: "Good heavens, they are actually auctioning 10,000 portions of Locke Divine Water at once, each portion with a capacity of 10 million cubic meters."
The starting bid for each portion is 500,000 Hunyuan Units.
Three days later, the bidders in the top 10,000 will receive these 10,000 portions of Locke Divine Water.
However, almost in the blink of an eye, the bid for the 10,000th position soared to over 600,000 Hunyuan Units.
It is evident that Locke Divine Water is indeed very popular.
Locke Divine Water not only has an extremely strong effect on cultivating plant life forms, especially undying plant life forms, far exceeding the Life Fruit.
More than half of the second batch of 10,000 items are treasures and materials related to cultivating plant life forms.
The popularity of Locke Divine Water is enough to rank in the top ten.
In the end, Jiang Luo spent 820,000 Hunyuan Units to win one 10-million-cubic-meter portion of Locke Divine Water.
This Locke Divine Water is more than enough to restore the physical bodies of all 17 of his clones to the same level as his main body, with plenty to spare.
However, Locke Divine Water has many uses, including the cultivation of the Ten Thousand Feather Tree, so buying more will never be a loss.
The reason Jiang Luo was cautious with his spending was for fear of affecting his ability to purchase 'Strange Fire' materials and other special life forms that might appear later.
Although only two rounds had passed, he already understood that the 12 million Hunyuan Units in his account really did not go far at this medium-level auction.
The third batch of 10,000 items seemed to be dominated by creations of the Machine Race.
Various Machine Race spaceships, weapons, and treasures were on dazzling display.
The most eye-catching item, ranking first in this batch, was actually an 'Evolution Heart'!
An Evolution Heart that allows intelligent life forms to fuse with it, significantly increasing the clarity of their perception of origin laws, and offering the hope of stepping into the Immortal realm.
Jiang Luo watched in stunned silence as the bidding price for this Evolution Heart climbed from 1 billion Hunyuan Units to tens of billions.
The colorful avian creature beside him said softly, "The Machine Race has extremely strict control over the Evolution Heart and forbids any member of the Machine Race from selling it privately."
"Usually, it is only seen at high-level auctions, but high-level auctions do not accept Universe Coins as payment, making it very difficult to obtain even if one desires it."
"Therefore, every time it appears at a medium-level auction, it attracts a large number of Immortal powerhouses to bid."
Jiang Luo nodded; Evolution Hearts are often bought by those super-powerhouses for the intelligent life forms that accompany them.
This kind of bond cannot be measured by Universe Coins; no amount of money can necessarily buy it.
Jiang Luo had his eye on the 'Fire God Source Crystals' among the third batch of items.
There were four types of Fire God Source Crystals, and the bidding price for a single lowest-grade V-type Fire God Source Crystal was roughly between 1 million and 2 million Hunyuan Units.
In the future, when he goes to the Giant Axe Arena, most of his clones will remain in the Universe Kingdom to manage his territory and expand his sources of faith.
The Fire God Source Crystal was indeed a trump card and deterrent weapon very well-suited for him.
Any sub-body clone of the Tao Wu Eighteen Gods and Demons can be regrown if destroyed.
Therefore, while the Fire God Source Crystal is a weapon of mutual destruction in the hands of others, the cost for him to use it is not particularly high.
However, after some thought, Jiang Luo gritted his teeth and gave up on it.
Although it was unlikely that the Blood Demon King would give up on seizing the Eye of the Space-Time Nightmare Beast—after all, it was an eye left behind by a Universe Master—with the deterrence of the Gulun Kingdom Lord, the Blood Demon Planet should not go too far in the short term.
Moreover, the Fire God Source Crystal would find it difficult to threaten the Blood Demon King himself.
He could not afford anything capable of threatening the Blood Demon King.
After giving up on bidding for the Fire God Source Crystals, Jiang Luo waited patiently until the fifth batch of items, where he finally discovered a material for 'Strange Fire'.
Heavenly Radiance Marrow!
