Divine King of Honour
Chapter 860 - 860: The Auction Begins

In the next few days.

Xu Nian remained in the courtyard, repeatedly practicing the sword slash.

Occasionally he would stop, ponder for a moment, then continue slashing.

There was no spectacular Sword Qi, just plain sword slashes.

Although the swordtip had a sharp Sword Intent, it posed no significant threat to ordinary cultivators.

"Master, what is Master Xu doing? It's been four days, and he keeps repeating the same action." He Tu couldn't help but ask Bing Luo beside him.

He was also a Cave Void Realm powerhouse, also practicing swordsmanship.

But he couldn't see any value in Xu Nian's repetitive slashing.

"I think Master Xu is sensing the characteristics of the weapon, figuring out how to refine it to be more offensive." Bing Luo said.

In his view, Xu Nian, an early-stage Cave Void cultivator,

excelled in artifact refining, but his cultivation might not be that impressive.

So he guessed Xu Nian's actions were related to artifact refining.

Only Long Tian'er on the side believed that Xu Nian was comprehending swordsmanship.

Because she had witnessed Xu Nian's swordsmanship before.

He once killed three peak Cave Void powerhouses with one sword, such terrifying swordsmanship.

That kind of mastery could not be accomplished overnight.

She also could not comprehend what Xu Nian was actually understanding.

Xu Nian was presently immersed in his own world.

Aside from the sword in his hand, he was focused on the changes in the airflow around him.

With each slash, Xu Nian would release his Spiritual Sense Power to feel the subtle changes in the surrounding airflow.

Attempting over and over, constantly concluding laws.

"No, this sword slash isn't right. The cutting speed of the wind is significantly insufficient. If the Wind's Extreme Speed is infused into the sword, it should be faster. It must be mainly Dimension Cutting, supplemented by Wind's Extreme Speed," Xu Nian muttered to himself.

Jiang Lingye's sword had left a shocking impact on Xu Nian.

It also opened a new world for Xu Nian.

Now Xu Nian attempted to integrate Wind's Extreme Speed Profound Argumentation into Dimension Cutting swordsmanship.

Although his Wind's Extreme Speed Profound Argumentation was only at the Profound Argumentation Formation stage, once combined with Dimension Cutting, the power would be unimaginable.

"Yes, like this, faster, the faster the more incisive!" Xu Nian wielded his sword.

The sword in his hand started to transform.

Three sword shadows appeared around him, each as sharp as before, even more powerful.

"The power of Mixed Element Slash has increased threefold, indeed the fusion of Profound Argumentation amplifies the attack significantly." Xu Nian marveled in his heart.

"We'll call it Triple Chaos Slash!" Xu Nian murmured to himself.

He could only manifest three sword shadows as of now.

With more comprehension, the power of his Mixed Element Slash would grow stronger.

Three sword shadows combined meant three times the power.

If in the future the sword shadows reached a hundred, it would be a hundred times the power.

Just the thought of it seemed terrifying.

"Although the current Dimension Cutting hasn't entered the Great Success Realm, the power of the move is already comparable to it. I wonder if Wind Vibration Profound Argumentation can integrate with Dimension Cutting," Xu Nian speculated.

The four-day comprehension advanced his Sword Dao cultivation significantly.

Now even without Body Cultivation force, Xu Nian believed he could slay a Harmonization Early Stage powerhouse with one sword.

With Spirit Cultivator force, he could even battle a middle-stage Harmonization without falling into disadvantage.

Xu Nian sheathed his sword, realizing Bing Luo and He Tu were watching him in awe.

They had witnessed Xu Nian's last slash.

The terrifying power was something no ordinary Cave Void powerhouse could unleash.

Moreover, Xu Nian evidently didn't use True Essence. If he had, the power would have been enormous.

"Master Xu, have you been practicing swordsmanship these past few days?" Bing Luo asked in surprise.

"Yes, what about it?" Xu Nian smiled in response.

"Nothing!" Bing Luo laughed awkwardly, having thought Xu Nian was analyzing weapon characteristics.

"I didn't expect Master Xu to have such an unparalleled talent in swordsmanship. If I am not mistaken, Master Xu's comprehension of Profound Argumentation has at least reached the Small Achievement Realm, right?" Bing Luo asked.

"Almost," Xu Nian nodded.

His Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation was just a step away from Great Success.

Without the breakthrough, it was indeed considered Small Achievement Realm.

Bing Luo was amazed, having cultivated for nearly a thousand years and only reaching the Small Achievement Realm in Profound Argumentation.

How could Xu Nian, at such a young age, have already reached Small Achievement Realm?

He Tu was equally astonished.

At that moment, he clearly felt the vast gap between himself and Xu Nian.

"By the way, Master Xu, these are the proceeds from selling your two thousand Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, converted into Top-grade Spirit Stones as you requested, totaling nine hundred thousand," Bing Luo said.

Handing a storage ring to Xu Nian.

"Nine hundred thousand? So much?" Xu Nian asked in astonishment.

Nine hundred thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to eighty million Top-grade Spirit Stones!

Two thousand Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, averaging fifty thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones each.

After deducting ten million for artifact refining materials, there were still ninety million left.

Thus, at the auction besides the Top-Grade Spirit Pill, he would have substantial funds for other items.

There might be something at the auction that catches his eye.

As for the Divine Power Pearl, he need not worry.

With Wind Wheel present, it was certain Wind Wheel would secure the Divine Power Pearl.

"I am quite looking forward to what treasures this auction will offer to my satisfaction," Xu Nian murmured to himself.

Only half a day remained until the auction.

Most of the powerhouses supposed to arrive in Tianbao City were already gathered there.

Tianbao City was now teeming with powerhouses.

Many powerhouses had quietly entered the city.

Now Tianbao City was a place of hidden undercurrents, powerhouses lying dormant.

Tomorrow's auction would be unprecedentedly grand.

...

The next day arrived quickly.

Early in the morning, Xu Nian sensed the bustling atmosphere outside the small courtyard, the streets teeming with people.

Led by Bing Luo, Xu Nian headed towards Tianbao Pavilion.

Along the way, Xu Nian saw numerous powerhouses.

Among them, many were young talents.

But as they reached the entrance of Tianbao Pavilion, an arrogant shout came from behind: "Move aside, everyone move aside, Mr. Shangguan is here, everyone quickly make way."

Xu Nian and his company turned around, seeing a handsome young man walking from afar, holding a beauty on each side.

His expression was extremely arrogant and domineering.

His cultivation was not low, having reached the middle-stage Harmonization.

Beside him was a fawning young man berating the crowd; he was the one who shouted.

That young man's cultivation was slightly lower, at the early-stage Harmonization.

But what truly caught Xu Nian's attention was the old man behind the arrogant youth.

A Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert!
