Chapter 124: Chapter 114: Auction Begins, All the Strong Gather!

Heavenly Divine Auction House, precisely the venue of this auction event.

As the name suggests, because the auction house was once established by a powerful being from the Heavenly Divine Realm, it was thus named the Heavenly Divine Auction House.

The Heavenly Divine Auction House had stood for many years, even existing before Xiafeng Country was ever founded. It had a long history, not only within Xiafeng Country but throughout the entire Western Regions of the continent with other auction branches, enjoying considerable fame.

Located within the Xiafeng Royal City was the auction’s main branch, which, despite the repeated changes of dynasties, had never been damaged. Distinguished and unique, inscribed with the Dao Divine Trace of the Heavenly Divine Realm, it would burst forth in crucial moments, protecting the entire auction house, hence enabling its enduring prosperity.

On ordinary days, the Heavenly Divine Auction House appeared bustling and vibrant, with crowds coming and going and many treasures auctioned. But today, it seemed different and even more solemn, grand and majestic, exuding an ancient mystical aura, with strands of Dao Divine Traces descending, and even several powerful presences emerging intermittently.

Several mighty figures were hidden in the dark, guarding rigorously, all of which testified to the stringent defense of the Heavenly Divine Auction House.

As a rare top-tier auction event on the continent, the Heavenly Divine Auction House today finally displayed its truly strong foundation.

At this moment, broad streets in front of the main branch were lined with formidable guards standing solemnly; the usual bustling crowds no longer seen, isolated away. There were also the Forbidden Army from the Royal Family helping to maintain order, clearly attaching great importance to this auction event.

Suddenly, a fierce tiger’s roar echoed from afar, shaking people’s hearts and drawing many gazes. From a distance, at the end of the street, a luxurious chariot appeared, causing the entire road to tremble.

Visible clearly, in front of the chariot were four large tigers with hanging eyes and white foreheads, each towering about ten feet tall, all emitting a terrifying aura. They were all genuine Innate Demonic Beasts, from which even Innate Strong People would steer clear. Yet, they were being used to pull the chariot, a sight almost unimaginable.

Generally, demonic beasts are difficult to tame, especially Innate Demonic Beasts known for their wild natures. It was imaginable then what kind of person the owner of this chariot was, having tamed such Innate Demonic Beasts as his chariot beasts.

Finally, the chariot stopped in front of the Heavenly Divine Auction House, with the Demon Tigers’ presence terrifying, causing the attending doormen to shudder in fear.

A tall figure alighted, an elder with white hair yet a vibrant spirit, wearing a stern face, imposing without anger, a supreme expert dominating a territory, faintly exuding a mighty aura, indeed a Super Expert from the Martial God Realm.

Such a figure was undoubtedly a significant representative sent by one of the top forces from abroad, prestigious and lofty, usually imposing, not a person from Xiafeng Country, but today personally arriving here for the auction.

Watching from afar on the streets, many citizens couldn’t help but inhale sharply. Even Martial God Realm Experts were personally attending, showing just how extraordinary this auction was.

Subsequently, the wide royal streets rumbled continuously, with countless people watching from both sides. One luxurious chariot after another arrived, almost every one of them drawn by terrifying demonic beasts of at least the Innate Realm, with riders all being experts from the Martial God Realm, every one of them exuding tremendous might, pressuring the citizens of the Royal Capital.

"It’s a Martial God Elder from Tiger Suppressing Sect, coming from Zhangqi Country."

"A Prince from Beihua Country of Martial God Realm also came."

"One powerful Mountain Master from Xia Territory’s Thirteen Mountains is here too."

...

In fact, this was just the span of three hours, and already more than twenty luxurious chariots had arrived, with more than twenty Martial God Realm Experts, imposing even on Xiafeng Country, the host, as these were all top-tier figures from foreign super forces, extraordinary and mighty, not to be offended.

Every distinguished guest had an extraordinary demeanor, striking poses, with an invisible pressure emanating, causing the staff to tremble in fear.

At that moment, the chariot from Danxin Palace also arrived. Although it did not use Innate Demonic Beasts as chariot beasts like those of the top-tier figures, nor was it a Martial God Realm Expert, the arrival of the chariot still drew everyone’s attention as Danxin Palace was one of the truly transcendent forces in the Royal Capital.

This time, Danxin Palace was represented by Li Yun, who brought both Shuangshuang and Ye Chen into the auction house. Shuangshuang was merely there to observe, while Ye Chen was there to truly participate. The attendants respectfully ushered them in without any obstruction.

The Heavenly Divine Auction House was extensive, naturally extraordinary to serve as the venue for the auction event. Simply the auction space alone was vast, much more expansive than it appeared from the outside, inscribed with spatial Dao Patterns, and reaching the Heavenly Divine Realm level, making the space immensely vast. Even if a hundred thousand people entered, it wouldn’t feel crowded.

Three thousand seats were arranged within, also featuring numerous independent private box spaces, reserved for guests above the Martial God Realm, or those who had made reservations in advance to enter the boxes.

Prestigious individuals from various super forces entered one after another into separate private boxes. Other cultivators also gradually took their seats.

Li Yun led Ye Chen, and Shuangshuang, engaging in conversations with guests from all directions before finally arriving at a private box designated by the Heavenly Divine Auction House for guests of Danxin Palace.

As time passed, more and more people entered the Heavenly Divine Auction House, and numerous seats were gradually filled up, including the private boxes.

Generally, individuals above the Martial God Realm could occupy a box, while others had to sit in the open seats.

By this time, just the Martial God Strong People present at the venue numbered over thirty, far exceeding the total number in Xiafeng Country. Such a congregation of Martial God Strong People was rare and only seen at an auction of this level, causing astonishment among attendees.

As time went on, even more formidable figures were bound to arrive, including top experts from the Heavenly Divine Realm.

Throughout this period, Ye Chen maintained his eyes closed, conserving his energy while waiting for the auction to begin. The lively and active Shuangshuang dared not disturb him in this state.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the auction hall, and almost everyone turned towards the direction of the entrance.

At this moment, a highly authoritative middle-aged man arrived, his imposing figure and bright, piercing eyes exuding an overwhelming presence like a mountain, making it difficult for many in the room, including Martial God Strong People, to breathe, causing a stir among them.

Heavenly Divine Realm Expert!

Only a true expert of the Heavenly Divine Realm could impose such a terrifying pressure on everyone, and now, the first Heavenly Divine Realm expert had finally appeared at the auction.

Moreover, he was not alone; several exceptionally powerful Martial God Strong People accompanied the dignified middle-aged man, all radiating immensely formidable auras, causing alarm among the crowd.

Super Martial God!

One could only claim the title of Super Martial God after reaching the Seventh Layer Heaven of the Martial God Realm, their cultivation vastly superior compared to ordinary Martial God Strong People, hence the designation "super."

The arrival of the dignified middle-aged man and his entourage caused a significant stir. Such a powerful group could only be matched by few forces in the world, aside from the Three Great Empires centralized on the continent, wealthy enough to send a Heavenly Divine Realm Expert.

A prestigious individual from a major force quickly approached and greeted the dignified middle-aged man with cupped hands, "So it is the elder of the Tianqi Empire, Donghua Heavenly God. On behalf of Bamboo Heart Pavilion, I extend my regards."

Other prestigious individuals from various forces also rushed forward to greet him, all behaving with utmost respect. Donghua Heavenly God remained indifferent, slightly nodding without a word, but this did not displease those customary influential figures.

The presence of a Super Force expert, particularly one from the Heavenly Divine Realm, comparable to the ancestors of 108 Countries and various other top-tier forces, held the highest status. Apart from a few supreme powers, no force could afford to offend him.

The next moment, an old man also appeared, causing a stir among the crowd. It was the Kingdom Ancestor of Xiafeng Country, and by his side was Crown Prince Xia Yang, impressive and dignified, attending this top-tier auction event.

The Kingdom Ancestor approached, his aged face carrying a warm smile, "It turns out to be the Donghua Heavenly God from the Tianqi Empire; you honor us with your presence."

Although the Heavenly Divine Auction House was not owned by Xiafeng Country, it was situated within Xiafeng Country’s territory. As a Heavenly Divine Realm expert of Xiafeng Country, if he failed to show himself, it would seem rather humble and unacceptable and could easily offend the guests from the Four Great Super Forces.

Donghua Heavenly God indifferently nodded towards the Kingdom Ancestor, a gesture of acknowledgment. Born with an inherent pride, he seemed much more noble than those outside the Four Great Super Forces, even though they were both Heavenly Divine Realm Experts.

In response, the Kingdom Ancestor chuckled, not taking it to heart, knowing well that he could not afford to offend the other party, and thus let the incident pass.

"The arrival of the super experts from the Central Land’s Tianqi Empire at this auction truly promises excitement."

"There are rumors that a genuine Divine Secret Treasure will appear at this auction. Initially thought to be merely a rumor, but now even Donghua Heavenly God from the Tianqi Empire is present, it seems there’s no smoke without fire. The final treasure might actually be a Divine-level Secret Treasure."

The auction hall buzzed with discussions, many people whispering privately, speculating about the Divine-level Secret Treasure that might be the final highlight.

And today, with the arrival of the Heavenly Divine Realm Expert from the Tianqi Empire, this rumor has been further confirmed.

Everyone speculated that other super experts from the Three Great Empires and the University would gradually appear.

As expected—

Three powerful Heavenly Divine Realm presences arrived with a roar!
