A Name Resounding Through the Nine Directions and Ten Domains!!!
After the head of the Nine Directions Pavilion announced the verification results, the entire auction hall fell into a brief, deathly silence; you could hear a pin drop.
However, this deathly silence lasted only a moment before it was shattered by a surging uproar filled with doubt and disbelief.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!"
"Master of the Nine Directions Pavilion... are you sure you haven't made a mistake?!"
"That's the value of over five hundred Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins! How could the Eternal Night Sect possibly afford that?! They've already spent so much already!"
"Even the Chaos Saint Sect, if it were to mobilize its entire strength, might not be able to achieve this! What makes a newly emerging force think it can?!"
A cacophony of doubts, gasps of surprise, and incredulous roars nearly lifted the dome of the auction house.
Everyone stared intently at the Pavilion Master of the Nine Directions Pavilion, who had reappeared on the stage, trying to find even the slightest trace of "joke" or "coercion" on his face.
However, the Nine Directions Pavilion only showed lingering shock and a trace of composure that he was trying hard to maintain as the host.
He took a deep breath, his voice infused with powerful cultivation, silencing the clamor of the crowd. "Silence!"
The sound was like a booming bell, making everyone's eardrums buzz. The noise in the room finally subsided, but the astonishment and curiosity in those eyes burned even brighter.
The Pavilion Master of the Nine Directions Pavilion surveyed the entire room and slowly spoke, each word crystal clear. "I, the Pavilion Master, guarantee with the Nine Directions Pavilion's millennia-old reputation that the verification of funds I just conducted is absolutely genuine. The Eternal Night Sect indeed possesses the resources sufficient to pay their bid!"
His words effectively shut down all avenues for questioning.
The reputation of the Nine Directions Pavilion is like a golden signboard throughout the Nine Directions and Ten Domains. The Pavilion Master personally verified the funds and provided guarantees, making its reputation extremely important.
But the more this was the case, the more profound the shock became in everyone's hearts.
They couldn't imagine what kind of scene the Pavilion Master of the Nine Directions Pavilion had witnessed in the Eternal Night Sect's private room.
At this moment, the Pavilion Master of the Nine Directions Pavilion was also filled with turmoil, as what he had just witnessed was still vivid in his mind.
What are low-level and mid-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins compared to this? They even have high-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins!
And it's not just one or two simple things!
What truly made his heart stop was that, in a corner of the private room, floated a top-tier Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein, its entire body flowing with dazzling golden light, shaped like a dragon, and brimming with spiritual energy!!!
The mine seemed to sense his probing, and lazily swayed its dragon tail. Although the pressure of the Peak Eternal Realm was deliberately concealed, its unique, top-tier aura, enough to drive any force mad, was undeniable!
That's outrageously extravagant!
This is absolutely outrageously extravagant!!!
Possessing a top-tier Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine and being able to carry it around so casually signifies that the Eternal Night Sect's wealth has reached an absurdly high level.
This is not just about being rich; it's about possessing an inexhaustible treasure trove!
With such a foundation, the Eternal Night Sect has become the undisputed wealthiest force in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains, without exception!
The private room where the Chaos Sage was located was deathly silent.
The leader of the number one power in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains had a stiff face and empty eyes, as if he had lost all his spirit.
He remained motionless for a long time, his lips moving slightly, but in the end he couldn't utter a single word.
question?
The Pavilion Master of the Nine Directions Pavilion personally verified and guaranteed the funds. If he were to question them again, he would be losing face for the Chaos Saint Sect and himself.
However, for him to accept this result was like swallowing a red-hot iron, causing unbearable burning pain.
bid?
He's already stuck!
Even after uniting with several other top forces and gathering the value of five hundred low-level Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mines, they thought they had exhausted all their resources and victory was assured. Who could have imagined that the Eternal Night Sect's trump cards were unfathomable!
All the chips he had seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the other party's terrifying wealth.
An unprecedented sense of frustration and a chilling feeling enveloped him.
Zhang Tianshi's face was ashen. He looked towards the direction of the Eternal Night Sect's private room, thought of his junior brother Zhang Shundao, and sighed deeply.
That's it, he's definitely going to lose this bet.
With such wealth, and the addition of powerful figures like Li Muchen and Zhang Shundao, the Eternal Night Sect's rise is unstoppable. It's probably only a matter of time before they enter the top ten of the Nine Directions and Ten Domains, and that time will not be long!
Perhaps after today, I can directly enter the top ten!!
The Nine Directions Pavilion took in everyone's reactions, and the last trace of doubt in his heart dissipated.
Without further hesitation, he asked loudly, "Fellow Daoists, the Eternal Night Sect's bid is valid. Is there anyone else who would like to raise the price?"
The entire room fell silent.
Even the Chaos Sage have fallen silent, so who else would dare?
Who else can?
"Since no one else is bidding, the final treasure of this auction... belongs to the Eternal Night Sect!" The Nine Directions Pavilion Master's voice boomed as he sealed the deal with the gavel.
Under the watchful eyes of countless complex gazes, the staff of the Nine Directions Pavilion respectfully delivered the treasure that had sparked a bloody competition to the Eternal Night Sect's private room.
Soon, the staff left with smiles on their faces. Clearly, the transaction was complete, and the Eternal Night Sect had paid in full for the breathtaking Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone mine.
When the Pavilion Master of the Nine Directions Pavilion personally watched the treasure being delivered and then walked out again, the undisguised smile on his face, as if he had found a treasure, stung everyone's nerves.
Silence descended once again.
But beneath this silence lies a volcano about to erupt.
Wow!!!
The next moment, a commotion more intense and prolonged than ever before erupted, sweeping across the entire auction hall!
"My God! They really paid! Over five hundred Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone veins! They just gave them away like that!"
"The Eternal Night Sect! From this day forward, those three names will likely resound throughout the entire Nine Directions and Ten Domains!"
"It's more than just widespread fame! This reputation was bought with money! It completely crushed the combined forces of the ten top powers, including the Chaos Saint Sect! What terrifying strength!"
"Wealth is also a part of strength! With such terrifying wealth, the Eternal Night Sect's overall strength definitely qualifies it to rank among the top ten in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains! No, perhaps even higher!"
"Unbelievable! A rising power has managed to achieve such a feat!"
Exclamations, gasps of amazement, and murmurs filled the air as everyone was deeply moved by the profound impact of the Eternal Night Sect.
After this night, the Eternal Night Sect is destined to ascend to the highest stage of the Nine Directions and Ten Domains, becoming a behemoth that no one can ignore.
Amidst the uproar, a calm yet undeniably powerful voice clearly resonated throughout the auction hall, silencing the entire room once again.
It was Lu Qing'an who spoke.
"Gentlemen," he said calmly, "Our Eternal Night Sect is not lacking in resources, nor are it short of treasures. However, as a newly established sect, we urgently need fresh blood and must recruit talented individuals."
He paused, then continued, "Today, I take this opportunity to announce that soon, my Eternal Night Sect will officially open its gates to recruit disciples and elders. Regardless of background or origin, anyone who believes they possess talent, a resilient character, and a willingness to dedicate themselves to the sect is welcome to participate in the assessment."
Upon hearing this, especially those Rogue Cultivator who had come to participate in the auction but had no powerful backing, their eyes instantly shone with astonishing brilliance!
What terrifying wealth has the Eternal Night Sect just displayed?
Joining such a sect means having access to unimaginable Cultivation Resources!
Lu Qing'an's voice rang out again, carrying a calm promise, "I, Lu Qing'an, hereby promise that anyone who enters the Eternal Night Sect and sincerely contributes to the sect will be nurtured by the sect's abundant resources. I dare not say that everyone can reach the top, but I will ensure that you all have the opportunity to become renowned powerhouses Nine Directions and Ten Domains!"
"To become a renowned powerhouse Nine Directions and Ten Domains!"
These words were like a spark thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting the long-suppressed ambitions and desires in the hearts of countless Rogue Cultivator.
Their gazes toward the Eternal Night Sect Sect's private room became incredibly fervent, and a sense of eager anticipation permeated the crowd.
Joining a rising, top-tier power with unparalleled wealth and meteoric rise is an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime!
As Zhang Tianshi felt the anticipation and excitement that suddenly rose around him, almost tangible, his expression became extremely complex when he looked at the Eternal Night Sect's private room.
He knew that Lu Qing'an's move not only made the Eternal Night Sect famous, but also attracted a huge following and a wealth of potential talents.
The rise of the Eternal Night Sect is now unstoppable.
He looked in the direction of his junior brother Zhang Shundao, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart vanished, leaving only a long, helpless sigh.
"It seems my prized possession is doomed to perish..."
