"Thank you, Fellow Daoists and Seniors, for your support. For those who didn't win the Sky Burning Dao Sword, don't be disappointed. There are still four Dao Artifacts to come, offering many more opportunities. Seniors, please don't be impatient. Besides Dao Artifacts, there are also many rare treasures, High-Grade Spirit Pills, and Spirit Medicines, each one a masterpiece not to be missed," ※_※_※_※_※_※_※_※_※_※r2※_1_⛬⛬_⛬_⛬_⛬_⛬_⛬_⛬_⛬_⛬0_⛬ said with a brilliant smile, looking around the entire venue as he introduced the items.
After a pause, ※_10_⛬'s expression turned serious, and he announced with a passionate tone, "Next, please welcome the next ※_13_⛬ item."
As soon as his voice fell, a flash of teleportation array light appeared on the ※_※_1_⛬3_⛬ stage, revealing a circular plate radiating intense spiritual light, which held a spiritual object suspended in its center, shimmering with powerful spiritual energy.
"It's a Spirit Binding Disk! What is that thing?"
"A Yao Beast? No, that's..."
"Oh my! That's a Nether Beast - a Kun Whale!"
...
In the main hall below the Auction, the Void Refining Cultivators stared wide-eyed, incredulously gazing at the spiritual object confined within the Spirit Binding Disk on the Auction stage. After a brief discussion, someone recognized its origin.
"The Nine Nether Kun Whale is an ancient exotic beast, born in the Nine Underworlds Beyond the Domains, sustained by devouring Nether Qi. Its Physical Body contains endless profundity and power, and it boasts a long lifespan. This Kun Whale corpse before us was preserved by a powerful being using supreme Divine Ability at the moment of its demise, with a portion of its pre-death spiritual intelligence and power sealed within, making it an unparalleled ship material for refining starships," Wan Tiancheng's voice resounded at the opportune moment, carrying a hint of mystery and pride.
After a pause, Wan Tiancheng continued with a more in-depth introduction: "Fellow Daoists, as you can see, this is no ordinary Kun Whale remains, but a Nine Nether Kun Whale skeleton that has been specially treated to retain a portion of its divinity and power. If it can be refined into a ship, a starship crafted from a Nine Nether Kun Whale skeleton not only symbolizes supreme glory and status but is also a Sharp Weapon for traversing Star Domains beyond the domains and crossing the starry sea."
"Its marvel lies, firstly, in its unparalleled toughness, capable of withstanding the powerful environments beyond the domains. Whether it's gravitational tearing or rampant star storms, nothing can shake it in the slightest. Secondly, it contains an inherent Nether power that can provide extra propulsion for the starship at critical moments. In certain special Star Domains, it can even guide the power of the stars to accelerate navigation and reduce energy consumption."
"What's even rarer is that the Nine Nether Kun Whale, in its lifetime, devoured Nether Qi, and its skeleton contains rich fragments of Nether Law. For Cultivators who Cultivate Nether-attributed Cultivation Techniques, being in such a starship for extended periods is akin to being in a natural Cultivation Secret Realm, with rapid advancement in Cultivation Realm within reach."
"Fellow Daoists, Seniors, the Nine Nether Kun Whale is an eighth-rank star beast body. If this item can be crafted into an eighth-rank giant ship by the hands of a ship-building Saint Master, it would be an unparalleled Sharp Weapon for the Sect's expansion into the outer starry sea, and even more so, a powerful foundation for the Sect!"
Wan Tiancheng eloquently introduced the preciousness of the Nine Nether Kun Whale corpse, igniting fervent interest among the high-level Cultivators.
The outer starry sea, vast and boundless, also signifies infinite Cultivation resources. To possess such a starship, crafted from the skeleton of a Nine Nether Kun Whale, would undoubtedly be like holding a key to a Treasure Trove in the outer starry sea. It would not only enable the Sect to explore unknown Star Domains with enhanced capabilities but also seize the initiative in resource competition and Sect rivalry, becoming an unshakeable and powerful pillar.
Imagine, when the Sect possesses such a starship, traversing between stars, whether it's searching for rare Spiritual Plants, Ores, or exploring ancient ruins and Secret Realms, it will become effortless. And with the blessing of Nether power, the starship will possess the power to turn the tide when encountering powerful enemies.
1.
Li Mu's gaze was fixed on the Spirit Binding Disk. Under his Heavenly Talent - Identify Myriad Spirits, the attributes of the Nine Nether Kun Whale corpse were revealed one by one.
【Nine Nether Kun Whale Corpse】
【Rank: Eighth-rank Overlord Remains】
【Characteristics: Nether Body, Nether Resonance, Whale Devourer of All Things, Divine Soul Slumber, Nether Transformation Wings,...】
【Status: Deceased under Heavenly Tribulation; Physical Body destroyed, but Divine Soul intact.】
【After tens of thousands of Years, it encountered a world-ending Heavenly Tribulation in the Nine Underworlds Abyss. The whale bones contain Nether power, slowly condensing Nether essence. The former Nine Nether Kun Whale, as the supreme overlord in the abyss, underwent countless Years of Cultivation, devouring countless rare treasures from the depths of the Nine Underworlds. A trace of ancient Kunpeng blood was integrated into its Bloodline, and its strength was close to the peak of the Nine Underworlds. During an attempt to Breakthrough to a higher Realm, it unfortunately encountered the Nine Heavens Nether double Lightning Tribulation. Although its Physical Body was severely damaged and disintegrated, its spiritual will remained unyielding. By virtue of the toughness of its whale bones and the power of the abyss, it maintained a wisp of Eternal Soul, awaiting the opportune moment to reshape its Physical Body and reassert the might of the Kun Whale.】
Seeing the attribute information of the Nine Nether Kun Whale corpse, a flicker of surprise appeared in Li Mu's eyes. He hadn't expected that the Divine Soul of this Kun Whale corpse hadn't completely died out yet and was still waiting for an opportunity to revive.
"What, Elder Li, are you interested in this star beast corpse?"
Sword Master Feng noticed Li Mu's gaze and asked with a curious smile.
"Uh, Sword Master, this is my first time seeing such a star beast corpse. Why doesn't the Sect acquire it and refine it into a ship!" Li Mu nodded, then turned to Sword Master Feng and asked curiously.
Sword Master Chen smiled slightly and quickly explained the reason to Li Mu: "Elder Li, you may not know, but although this Nine Nether Kun Whale is dead, it was born in the Nine Underworlds, and its Heavenly Talent is quite peculiar. Refining it into a ship is quite difficult, and there isn't a suitable ship-building Saint Master."
At this point, Sword Master Chen paused, then continued, "More crucially, as an overlord of the abyss, the Nine Nether Kun Whale, with the exotic treasures and Nether power it devoured in its lifetime, as well as the Fusion of that ancient Kunpeng blood, made its body a complex and dangerous existence. If not handled properly, these powers could backfire on its owner or even cause disaster. Therefore, for many Years, although countless forces have coveted this corpse, no one has dared to easily act. Although our Sect is strong, we dare not easily take the risk. After all, in the vast outer starry sea, unknown threats are everywhere, and every step requires caution."
"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, this corpse should have come from the Nether Sect. The Nether Sect is close to the Nine Underworlds Realm and has the most in-depth research on Nether power. They might have the ability to control this Nine Nether Kun Whale corpse, but even so, they haven't easily made a move, which shows how troublesome it is," Sword Master Feng interjected, adding with a smile.
Indeed, after Wan Tiancheng finished introducing the Nine Nether Kun Whale corpse, he officially announced that the item would start bidding at 500,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones. However, there were very few bidders.
After dozens of breaths, there were only four or five bids, and the price only increased to 620,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones.
"Private Room 12 bids 620,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones. Are there any higher bids?" Wan Tiancheng's voice echoed through the venue, his expectant gaze sweeping across the entire hall.
However, the atmosphere in the venue seemed a bit subdued. Although the high-level Cultivators were full of curiosity and desire for the Nine Nether Kun Whale corpse, there was more apprehension and hesitation. The feedback from the private rooms was also sparse.
Just as everyone was hesitating due to the complexity and danger of the Nine Nether Kun Whale corpse, a strange glint flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and he seemed to have thought of something.
Immediately, Li Mu's Divine Sense entered the bidding token, and he decisively entered his bid.
A hint of surprise flashed in Wan Tiancheng's eyes, then he confirmed loudly: "Private Room 1 bids 700,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones, which is currently the highest bid. Is there anyone else willing to continue bidding? Last thirty breaths!"
Upon learning that Great Master Li was participating in the bidding, the venue once again fell into a brief silence, followed by a burst of lively discussion and whispers. Many began to re-examine this Great Master Li who had suddenly made a move, secretly speculating about his intentions.
"Congratulations to Private Room 1! With 700,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones, you have successfully acquired the Nine Nether Kun Whale Corpse!" Wan Tiancheng congratulated with reverence.
As his words fell, a beam of light rose from the bidding platform, and the Spirit Binding Disk disappeared from the Auction stage, replaced by the next Auction item.
"Please welcome a spiritual item, a Legacy Jade Slip," Wan Tiancheng's voice once again echoed through the venue, carrying a hint of mystery and anticipation. "This is an ancient thunder Law Jade Slip, named 'Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Art.' It is said that this art was created by an ancient Thunder God, containing the purest and most violent thunder power between heaven and earth. Once Cultivated to mastery, one can control thunder, summon wind and rain, with infinite power!"
As Wan Tiancheng introduced it, the atmosphere in the venue instantly became tense. Everyone's gaze was fixed on the Jade Slip slowly being presented on the stage. The Jade Slip itself was faintly purple, with subtle electric currents flowing on its surface, as if containing endless energy and mysteries.
"This Jade Slip not only records the Cultivation method of the 'Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Art' but also contains a trace of the Thunder God's remnant Soul power. For Cultivators with a thunder Spiritual Root who Cultivate thunder-attributed Cultivation Techniques, it is simply a priceless Treasure Trove!" Wan Tiancheng's words were full of temptation, stirring the hearts of the Cultivators present.
1.
Li Mu glanced at the Legacy Jade Slip, showing little interest.
"Elder Li, since you've acquired the Nine Nether Kun Whale, please be careful when researching this item," Sword Master Feng said to Li Mu, his tone filled with concern.
"Thank you for the reminder, Sword Master. I understand," Li Mu smiled and nodded, expressing his gratitude.
Sword Master Feng frowned, assuming Li Mu was simply interested in the star beast corpse and that as an Artifact Refining Saint Master, he wouldn't encounter any problems. He then refocused his attention on the Auction.
At this time, the Auction for the Legacy Jade Slip had already concluded. The number of exotic spirit Cultivators was scarce, and no matter how good the Cultivation Technique was, it couldn't fetch a high price.
On the Auction stage, Wan Tiancheng loudly announced: "Next, please welcome the next Auction item - a seven-rank Dao Artifact."
As soon as his voice fell, a flash of spiritual light from the teleportation array erupted with a brilliant radiance, instantly illuminating the entire Auction hall. It was as if even the air was shaken by this power, and the Divine Thoughts of the Cultivators collectively stiffened.
As the teleportation array's light gradually receded, an ancient and solemn yellow small square Seal appeared before everyone's eyes.
"This is?"
"My Divine Thought is fixed by it!"
"What kind of Dao Artifact is this, to have such a powerful Soul suppression effect!"
"Dao Ancestor above, it's actually a Soul Suppressing Dao Artifact!"
...
In the venue, some Cultivators couldn't help but rise. Their gazes were fervent, gasps of cold air rose and fell, and their faces were filled with disbelief and shock. Their eyes were full of endless desire for the Dao Artifact on the stage.
That yellow small square Seal, though seemingly unremarkable, seemed to form a world of its own, emanating a heart-stopping pressure that firmly locked everyone's minds.
"A seven-rank Medium Grade Dao Artifact, and it's even a rare Soul Suppressing Treasure Trove!" a white-haired Void Refining Elder muttered, his eyes flickering with excitement.
"That Artifact Seal can not only suppress Souls and repel enemies, but it also seems to have the effect of stabilizing one's mind and resisting Heart Demons. For the Seal Master, it's simply a great aid on the path of Cultivation!" a Void Refining Cultivator with Artifact Refining abilities analyzed with a trembling voice, his gaze fervent, clearly also shaken by the power of that square Seal Dao Artifact.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the venue became unusually tense and subtle. The Void Refining Cultivators looked at each other, their eyes holding both sparks of competition and hints of cooperation. They understood that such a precious Treasure Trove would be difficult to obtain alone, but if they could unite with others, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Inside the private rooms, the Body Integration Cultivators were all eager, wishing they could immediately take that square Seal into their possession.
"Elder Li, you really are... Alas! Can such a Dao Artifact also be put up for Auction?"
In Private Room 1, Sword Master Feng looked at the square Seal Dao Artifact on the stage, his brows tightly furrowed, his tone filled with both surprise and dissatisfaction. He turned to look at Li Mu beside him, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Yes! Elder Li, if this item falls into the hands of an opponent, it will be very difficult to deal with!" Sword Master Chen also said with a bitter smile.
"Don't worry, both Sword Masters. The Dao Artifacts I put out for Auction all have backup plans. I won't suffer a loss from my own Artifact Refining!" Li Mu smiled slightly, indicating.
Upon hearing this, Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen exchanged glances, both unsure of what to say.
On the Auction stage, Wan Tiancheng's face was flushed, and he enthusiastically began to introduce the yellow small square Seal before him: "Fellow Daoists, Seniors, as you can see, this Artifact is called the 'Heaven Suppressing Seal.' It has the effect of suppressing Souls and suppressing the heavens. It is refined by Great Master Li himself, using 'Soul Jade Marrow,' a rare material seen only once in ten thousand Years, as the main Artifact Refining material, supplemented by the essence of 'Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.' The Artifact Array is: Heavenly Thunder Purgatory. Soul Jade Marrow inherently contains the essence of heaven and earth, possessing a natural nourishing and suppressing power over the Soul. Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, on the other hand, has endured countless Lightning Tribulations without being destroyed, and the thunder power contained within it can break all evil and purify Heart Demons. The Fusion of these two creates the extraordinary quality of this Heaven Suppressing Seal."
"This Artifact can not only directly suppress the enemy's Divine Soul in combat, causing the opponent to fall into a temporary daze, but it is also an excellent Magical Artifact for Cultivators to resist external interference and stabilize their own minds. For those who have entered Void Refining Cultivation and constantly face the trials of Heart Demons, it is like a bright lamp, illuminating the path forward and reducing the risk of Qi Deviation."
Speaking of this, Wan Tiancheng deliberately paused and looked around. He saw that the gazes of the Void Refining Cultivators below the stage became even more fervent, and Divine Thoughts from the private rooms, without concealment, fell upon that small square Seal.
Wan Tiancheng smiled slightly and continued: "Moreover, this Heaven Suppressing Seal also hides an unknown secret—as its master's Cultivation Realm improves, it will gradually unlock more mysterious functions, and it may even evolve into a higher-rank Dao Artifact under the master's guidance, becoming an unparalleled Divine Weapon that accompanies its master throughout their life!"
"Fellow Daoists, Seniors, that concludes the introduction of this Artifact. If you wish to learn more about it, acquire it first. Now, we enter the bidding phase. The starting bid for this Artifact is: one million High-Grade Spirit Stones, with each increment being fifty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, and a time limit of one hundred eighty breaths," Wan Tiancheng finally announced loudly, "Now, the bidding begins!"
As Wan Tiancheng's voice fell, the entire venue instantly boiled, and the bidding numbers began to change dramatically, surging like a tide. (End of this chapter)
