Immortal Emperors and Immortal Venerables Vie for Supremacy, Confirming a Theory
Mystic Firmament Void Market.
Liu Yi, cloaked, stood silently in front of the Mystic Firmament Auction House.
Watching the endless stream of cultivators, all concealing their identities, enter the auction house, he followed closely behind.
Guided respectfully by a maid, he went straight to the private VIP room he had reserved in advance, sat down comfortably, and quietly looked down at the auction hall below.
Countless cultivators entered and took their seats one after another, and as time went by, the huge auction hall was packed to capacity.
A moment later, a slender, elegant woman in a blue dress slowly stepped onto the auction stage, smiled Qianqian, and her clear voice resonated throughout the hall:
"Welcome, fellow Daoists, to the Mystic Firmament Auction House. I am Ye Shuying, the auctioneer for this event."
The auction has officially begun. We wish everyone the best of luck in acquiring their desired treasures!
Next, we'll be bidding on the first item— the Immortal King Artifact, the Space-Rending Divine Spear!
This spear contains the Great Dao of Space; each strike can tear through the void and shatter space, its power is unparalleled.
The starting bid is 10 billion Innate Spirit Crystal, and each bid must be at least 100 million Innate Spirit Crystal higher!
As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds of bidding erupted one after another.
"10.1 billion!"
10.2 billion!
Inside the VIP room, Liu Yi observed coldly, inwardly sighing with emotion.
The starting bid for Immortal King Artifact was only a few hundred billion Innate Spirit Crystal, making the price extremely low.
Looking across the heavens, perhaps only a treasure trove like the Mystic Firmament Void Market, which gathers rare treasures from all realms, could offer such low prices.
He did not bid, but calmly watched as one treasure after another was auctioned off and sold.
These treasures are now of no use to him.
At this moment, Ye Shuying slowly surveyed the entire room, a graceful and composed smile playing on her lips:
"Fellow Daoists, what follows is the grand finale of this auction—a fragmented Ruler -level Cultivation Method."
This auction will be conducted through a barter system.
Interested traders can reveal their assets, and the holder of the Cultivation Method will ultimately choose the trading partner.
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and took out a scroll of chaotic color.
The scroll was shrouded in a mysterious aura, though it was somewhat damaged.
"Please look, everyone. This is a fragmented, Ruler Cultivation Method. Now, you may reveal your cards."
The auction room fell silent instantly.
Many cultivators came specifically for this Cultivation Method, but none of them were willing to reveal their trump cards first.
After a moment, someone finally couldn't resist the temptation and spoke first, "I'm willing to offer ten Innate Purple-Gold Ginseng to buy this Cultivation Method!"
After he finished speaking, ten Innate Purple-Gold Ginseng, densely covered with innate Dao patterns, appeared in mid-air.
A disdainful snort suddenly rang out.
The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor spoke arrogantly and domineeringly, "You dare to bid here for a mere ten Innate Purple-Gold Ginseng?"
"I am the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor. My offer is thirty Golden Crow Divine Fruit, plus a favor from me."
Before he finished speaking, a vast imperial aura emanated from the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, and at the same time, thirty Golden Crow Divine Fruit appeared in front of him.
Each divine fruit shimmered with dazzling golden light, like thirty small Sun illuminating the entire auction venue.
Liu Yi, who was in the VIP room, was slightly taken aback upon seeing this.
This Golden Crow Clan Immortal Emperor is exactly like the previous Immortal King Jinyang, readily promising favors and clearly intending to get something for nothing.
Just as he was preparing to make an offer, a calm voice rang out:
"You're quite amusing; you always try to brush me off with favors, but you're never willing to offer a truly valuable treasure."
"I am Immortal Venerable Qianyuan, and I am bidding for a Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure."
Immediately following, the bidding continued incessantly.
"I am Immortal Venerable Qingxuan, and I bid for a Mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, plus an Innate Soul Spirit Flower."
"I am the Immortal Emperor Xuandan, and I am willing to offer one Emperor-level Immortal Pill, plus an Immortal Emperor -level Cultivation Method."
"I am the Immortal Emperor Cang Hong, and I offer ten Ginseng Fruit, plus an Immortal Emperor -level Cultivation Method."
The sounds of bidding echoed throughout the venue.
Countless treasures rose up with dazzling light, illuminating the entire auction hall.
This place has transformed into a top-tier treasure hunting extravaganza.
The cultivators present were all dumbfounded.
This was the first time in their lives they had seen so many treasures, and it was also the first time they had seen so many Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable.
Everyone gasped in shock, their faces filled with horror, and they gasped in hushed tones.
"With so many Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable gathered here, could it be that most of the top experts in the Mysterious Firmament Realm have come?"
"Unfortunately, I lack the financial resources to participate in the bidding. If I could obtain this incomplete Ruler -level Cultivation Method, perhaps I would have a chance to break through to the Immortal Emperor."
"It's unknown who the holder of this Cultivation Method will ultimately choose to trade with."
Liu Yi, sitting in the VIP room, was secretly astonished to find so many Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable present, including even Cang Hong, the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Cultivation System.
It seems his earlier guess was correct; Cang Hong on the Immortal Emperor Realm Heaven-reaching Rankings is indeed Dao Ancestor within the Immortal Cultivation System.
He scanned the chips that everyone had displayed.
To acquire this incomplete, Ruler- level Cultivation Method, the only option is to bid with all one's might and outbid everyone else present.
If such offers still fail to sway the holder of the Cultivation Method, then it means that this Cultivation Method is not meant for him.
At that time, he will have no choice but to ask Ye Xuanxiao directly. As long as he knows the core characteristics of the Ruler Realm, he can deduce the Ruler Realm Cultivation Method on his own with his deductive abilities.
Having made up his mind, Liu Yi did not reveal his real name, but instead used the alias he had used before, his clear voice carrying throughout the entire venue:
"I, Liu Xuan, offer one World Stone, one High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, and three thousand pieces of Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves."
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and the World Stone, the Trident, and three thousand Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves Present Self, their dazzling light instantly sweeping across the entire area.
Upon seeing Liu Yi's exorbitant offer, the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable present all paled, a strong sense of crisis instantly rising in their hearts.
"What a huge piece of World Stone! Its quality and size are both top-notch."
Add to that a High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure and three thousand pieces of Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves, and the total value far surpasses my offer!
"Just who is this Liu Xuan? I've never seen him before in the Mysterious Firmament Realm, and the price he's offering is higher than mine."
"It seems that Ruler -level Cultivation Method is out of my reach! I'm truly unwilling to accept this! If this weren't the Mystic Firmament Void Market, with Ruler over it, I would have already made my move to snatch it!"
The Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable Venerables were filled with turmoil, their gazes piercing through the auction house's restrictions and landing on Liu Yi.
Facing the scrutiny of all the powerful figures present, Liu Yi unleashed an imperial aura, blocking everyone's view.
Taking this opportunity, he quietly activated his Dharma Eye of Delusion Breaking to examine the various Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable.
He wanted to secretly fathom the mysteries of their cultivation levels and compare them with his own Daluo Martial Emperor cultivation.
A silent game of strategy unfolded on the scene.
All the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable activated their supreme Dao light, setting up layers of mysterious barriers in an attempt to conceal themselves and prevent others from prying into their presence.
However, none of their methods could completely block Liu Yi's Dharma Eye of Delusion Breaking.
Through layers of divine light, he gained insight into the mysteries of many realms, completely confirming the conclusions he had drawn after comprehending the Cultivation Method Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable.
The so-called Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable are essentially still within the same realm; they have not yet completed the transformation to the original level.
The Immortal Venerable has only taken a step towards the Immortal Emperor Realm; there is still an insurmountable gap between him and the true Ruler Realm.
In addition, the "essence, qi, spirit, and Dao" of these Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable are independent and have not truly and completely merged into one.
