Order of Ten Thousand Gods

When Long Hengfeng, the Long Family's young master, saw the Merchant Guild steward come out, hope filled his face as he asked, "How did it go?"

The Merchant Guild steward shook his head. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Young Master Lu said he wasn't interested."

Long Hengfeng's expression suddenly darkened.

"Let's go back to the room first," he said in a deep voice after a while, then led the Long Family's two experts back to VIP Room Four.

After returning to VIP Room Four, one of the Long Family experts said, "Young Master, should we investigate what Lu Yiping came to the auction to purchase?"

Long Hengfeng shook his head. "No need."

"This Lu Yiping won't be arrogant for much longer," another Long Family expert sneered. "Hao Dan was killed. The Yin Ghost Sect won't let him off!"

"However, Lu Yiping's identity is a mystery. Some are saying he may have come from the Nine Heavens, so the Yin Ghost Sect won't make a move for now. Once they confirm he isn't from the Nine Heavens, the Yin Ghost Sect will press forward with a great army and dismantle his bones one by one!"

"Besides, why does Lu Yiping have Su Xiu's token? Some suspect that Su Xiu was very likely killed by Lu Yiping. The Yellow Springs Demonic Sect has already begun investigating the matter of Su Xiu's token."

"If the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect confirms that Su Xiu is dead, they will surely grind his bones to dust as well!"

As people entered one after another, the auction hall was soon filled to capacity.

The auction began.

The auctioneer was a senior appraiser from the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild, and also an expert of the God Realm.

At ordinary auctions, experts of the God Realm rarely came out to host. Only when exceptionally precious items were being auctioned would the auction house have a God Realm expert preside over the event.

The first item up for auction was a sword.

"This sword is called the Azure Rainbow Sword, and it was the personal sword of the Azure Rainbow Heavenly God!" Chen Rui, the God Realm expert hosting the auction, smiled at the crowd. "I imagine many of you are no strangers to the Azure Rainbow Heavenly God, are you?"

A commotion swept through the hall.

The Azure Rainbow Heavenly God!

How could they merely be familiar with him?

A hundred thousand years ago, he had been hailed as the foremost master of the sword on the Divine Martial Continent.

No one had expected the first item auctioned to be the Azure Rainbow Sword.

Though this Azure Rainbow Sword had been the Azure Rainbow Heavenly God's sword during his early years, it was still a rare and excellent blade.

"The Azure Rainbow Heavenly God often used this sword to practice sword techniques back then, so this Azure Rainbow Sword contains his unique sword intent. If a sword expert purchases it and regularly comprehends the Azure Rainbow Heavenly God's sword intent, their swordsmanship will surely advance a thousand miles in a single day," auctioneer Chen Rui said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Yiping shook his head and smiled. If merely relying on a sword could allow one's swordsmanship to advance a thousand miles in a day, then everyone in the world would be a swordsmanship expert.

Chen Rui's words were nothing more than bait to deceive people.

Still, Chen Rui's bait was quite effective, and the bidding that followed was fierce.

In the end, the White Flame Sword Sect's sect master bought it for two hundred million High-grade Spirit Stones.

The White Flame Sword Sect was one of the Divine Martial Continent's super sects, its strength comparable to the Baihua Empire and the Yun Family.

The second item auctioned was a cultivation technique called the Jialeng Sutra, one of Fire Dragon Temple's supreme cultivation techniques.

There were quite a few Buddhist sects on the Hengyuan Plane.

Fire Dragon Temple had once been one of the Divine Martial Continent's strongest Buddhist forces.

However, it had been destroyed more than ten thousand years ago.

The ones who had acted back then were precisely the Tan Family.

After Fire Dragon Temple was destroyed, many experts were captured alive and forcibly refined into puppets by Tan Family experts. The Tan Family possessed a puppet that surpassed the Heaven Rank, refined from Fire Dragon Temple's most powerful old ancestor.

In the end, the Jialeng Sutra was purchased by Yu Xin of the Medicine King Hall.

Lu Yiping was somewhat surprised. He had not expected this girl to be interested in Buddhist cultivation techniques.

Then came the third, fourth, and fifth auction items.

Although the items in this auction were all quite good, Lu Yiping merely watched and did not place any bids.

More than twenty items were auctioned off in succession.

Finally, it was time for the auction's four grand finale treasures.

"The next item to be auctioned is the token of the Lord of All Gods from the Ancient Times," Chen Rui said with a smile.

At that moment, an expert of the Heavenly Machine Merchant Guild walked up carrying a jade tray.

On the jade tray lay a palm-sized black token.

It really was the Order of Ten Thousand Gods!

Seeing the token, Lu Yiping sat up straight.

This Order of Ten Thousand Gods was naturally far more than an ordinary token. Within it was an ancient Array Formation refined by the Lord of All Gods, which could be used to attack enemies in battle.

Moreover, the Lord of All Gods had built his cave dwelling in a mysterious place back then, and no one knew where it was. Yet with this Order of Ten Thousand Gods, one could sense the location of his cave dwelling.

Of course, to activate this Order of Ten Thousand Gods, one needed at least the strength the Lord of All Gods had possessed back then.

With the current strength of everyone on the Hengyuan Plane, they simply could not activate this Order of Ten Thousand Gods.

Thus, this Order of Ten Thousand Gods was not particularly useful to the people of the Hengyuan Plane at present.

"In ancient times, this Order of Ten Thousand Gods could command all the gods under heaven," Chen Rui explained. "Furthermore, it was forged from the rare divine material known as Great Void Profound Iron."

"Great Void Profound Iron is the hardest Divine Iron in the world, comparable to the iron of chaos. The material alone is worth a city."

"Moreover, the Order of Ten Thousand Gods contains a supreme Array Formation imprinted by the Lord of All Gods back then. Array Formation experts who purchase it may perhaps comprehend a supreme grand formation from it."

After explaining for three or four minutes, the auction finally began.

"However, the friend who entrusted our Merchant Guild with auctioning this Order of Ten Thousand Gods said that he only wants Divine-grade Spirit Stones," Chen Rui said somewhat apologetically. "Therefore, those who bid for the Order of Ten Thousand Gods may only use Divine-grade Spirit Stones."

A stir ran through the crowd.

The experts who had originally intended to bid for the Order of Ten Thousand Gods all frowned.

They did possess Divine-grade Spirit Stones, but they were scarce. Ever since the Ancient Times, every one used meant one less remaining. In ordinary auction transactions, no one was willing to use Divine-grade Spirit Stones.

"Furthermore, this friend who commissioned the auction said that all Divine-grade Spirit Stones must be completely intact," Chen Rui added.

After Spirit Stones had been traded for a long time, wear and damage were inevitable. Requiring them to be completely intact made them even rarer.

"The starting price for the Order of Ten Thousand Gods is one hundred million Divine-grade Spirit Stones," Chen Rui said again.

"One hundred million Divine-grade Spirit Stones?!" Everyone drew in a sharp breath.

The White Flame Sword Sect's sect master in the hall shook his head upon hearing it. Let alone one hundred million Divine-grade Spirit Stones, even one hundred million Top-grade Spirit Stones would be difficult for him to produce.

"One hundred million Divine-grade Spirit Stones!" Long Hengfeng frowned. He had come this time with the intention of acquiring the Order of Ten Thousand Gods as well.

But the price was far beyond his expectations.

"Two hundred million Divine-grade Spirit Stones." At that moment, the young man in VIP Room Two suddenly spoke leisurely.
