Chapter 126: Chapter 115 Olive Branch_2

At this moment, feeling the anomaly from Chaoxue Heavenly God, the heavenly god powerhouses from the other Three Great Empires couldn’t help but step forward, which shocked the entire audience, yet the reason remained unknown.

However, the four heavenly gods did not care about others. At this moment, their eyes shone intensely, almost materializing, lingering on the Crown Prince as if trying to see through him. Eventually, they couldn’t help but display a look of astonishment, recalling a certain legend.

Though the Crown Prince was under the intense gaze of the heavenly god powerhouses, he maintained his usual calm and composure, neither arrogant nor prideful. Such temperament was admirable. However, his body, triggered by this, shot a brilliant column of seven-colored light from the top of his skull, dazzlingly magnificent, illuminating the entire auction house and capturing the attention of countless onlookers.

Seeing this scene, everyone was filled with awe, for they all knew an ancient legend. At this moment, they looked towards the Crown Prince, unable to restrain exclamations—

"Bearer of divine qualifications!"

Tiandu Academy, with a history immensely long, had given birth to powerful individuals renowned across the Tiandu Continent time and again. Yet within this mysterious and ancient academy, there existed an extraordinary stele known as the Measuring God Tablet, originating from even more ancient times, capable not only of measuring strength but also of assessing an individual’s natural talent.

Legend had it that anyone who could project a seven-colored radiance on the tablet was deemed a bearer of divine qualifications, possessing the credentials to ascend to the Divine Spirit Realm.

And the power stele historically brought back to Xiafeng Academy was a replica of this tablet, though far inferior to the Measuring God Tablet, but similarly effective in identifying bearers of divine qualifications.

Once someone met this criterion, a seven-colored light radiance would embed into this individual’s flesh, triggered at crucial moments.

At this moment, the heavenly god powerhouses from the Four Great Super Forces all turned their attention there, filled with ardor.

While being a bearer of divine qualifications did not guarantee entry into the Divine Spirit Realm, it indicated such potential, and historically, more than half of those in the Divine Spirit Realm were from among these bearers.

Moreover, even if these bearers did not actually achieve the Divine Spirit Realm, as long as nothing unforeseen occurred, reaching the Heavenly Divine Realm would definitely pose no problem.

Such outstanding talent was not to be missed; virtually everyone desired to take him as a disciple, because achieving the Divine Spirit Realm in the future would elevate not only him but also bring immense honor and respect to everyone associated with him.

A master of a Divine Spirit, that was the ultimate honor.

Furthermore, no one dared offend a disciple of the Divine Spirit Realm. In the Cultivation World, the relationship between master and disciple is one of the most stable, and no one would actually commit the heinous act of betraying or exterminating their lineage—not even a divine being, as such actions would be scorned by society.

Chaoxue Heavenly God was the first to speak, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xia, I wonder if you might consider sending this young man to Heavenly Desert Academy for further studies. I, Chaoxue Heavenly God, can guarantee here that he will be admitted to the Heavenly Level Academy, receive the highest-level Cultivation Method, and guidance from heavenly gods, and perhaps even be recommended to the Supreme Old Mansion Master to possibly take him as a disciple. What do you think?"

His opening remark was a huge temptation, causing even the Kingdom Ancestor to shiver, both thrilled and delighted.

He naturally knew of the Supreme Old Mansion Master of Tiandu Academy; legend had it that he was a truly supreme ancient Divine-level being, an unrivaled and paramount figure across Tiandu Continent.

If one could become a disciple of such an ancient divine being and receive guidance, the benefits for Xia Yang would be unparalleled. Guidance from a divine being was something even heavenly gods longed and hoped for.

However, at that moment, the heavenly god powerhouses from the Soaring Dragon Empire stepped forward, their dragon energy formidable, and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, we hope you will consider sending him to our Soaring Dragon Empire for training. He would have dedicated guidance from heavenly god powerhouses, and our old ancestor would likely appear to provide direction."

Following this, the Heavenly God powerhouses from the Tianqi Empire and Jiuhua Empire all successively spoke up, all promising that at least one Heavenly God would provide guidance, and even the legendary Divine Ancestor might appear to take someone as a disciple.

Although this guarantee could not ensure absolute success, the holders of the Divine qualifications were truly the favored children of the heavens, esteemed even by ancient Divine Spirits who would at least make an appearance to provide some guidance.

Moreover, despite the Crown Prince being quite young, he had already reached the Innate Eighth Level, which sufficiently demonstrated his potential and great malleability—a gem that no one wanted to miss out on. If he ascended to a Divine Position in the future, even if he belonged to Xiafeng Country, all parties would have a fairly reliable relationship.

The Heavenly Gods from the Four Great Super Forces also successively extended olive branches, causing many powerhouses present to feel envious and eager, as such an opportunity was not something that could be easily obtained.

In the front row of the auction hall, Shuangshuang watched all this unfold and couldn’t help but express her envy, "Crown Prince truly has tremendous luck to receive olive branches from the Four Great Super Forces. Is it really so good to be a holder of Divine qualifications? I’m jealous."

Li Yun nodded, known as a holder of Divine qualifications, represented at least having the hope of venturing into the Divine Secret Realm. Nobody wanted to pass up such extraordinary talent and potential, and if nothing unexpected occurred, he should at least become a powerful Heavenly God, if not dominate the Tiandu Continent, but at least he could awe a region.

Then, he looked towards Sovereign Daoist Ye Chen beside him, who calmly closed his eyes to rest his spirit, and sighed slightly. The holder of Divine qualifications wasn’t just the Crown Prince, but also the even younger man before him.

However, this young man appeared far more mysterious than the Crown Prince, maintaining his serene composure even as the Four Great Super Forces competed for him, not seeking to stand out, an attitude that was admirable and awe-inspiring.

Of course, this might be because of the mysterious Mr. Qian behind him.

Facing the tantalizing olive branches from the Four Great Super Forces, even the Kingdom Ancestor was tempted, but he dared not heedlessly accept any of them, as doing so could potentially offend the other Super Forces. Moreover, it primarily depended on Xia Yang’s choice, and he said, "Yang, I won’t choose for you arbitrarily. What do you think?"

Confronted with the attention of countless people in the auction hall, Xia Yang also felt a stir of excitement. However, after looking towards where Ye Chen was resting his eyes in the front box of the auction hall, he calmed down and made his decision, saying, "I apologize, seniors. For now, I prefer not to make a choice yet, as there is an opponent I find formidable. I hope to enter the Trial Road during this year’s recruitment trial at Tiandu Academy and test my strength against this opponent."

The Four Great Super Forces were shocked; they did not expect Xia Yang to refuse, especially when the Heavenly Gods from the Three Great Empires couldn’t help but frown. Was this an indirect wish to choose Tiandu Academy?

At that moment, Chaoxue Heavenly God laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoists need not worry. Tiandu Academy harbors no ambitions for supremacy. He is merely participating in this year’s Trial Road, and moreover, he is free to join any of your empires if he wishes later on. Tiandu Academy will not hinder him."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Gods from the Three Great Empires ceased their objections and nodded as an agreement.

After the Trial Road ended, they could approach him again, by which time he would inevitably have to make a choice.

At that moment, the Heavenly Gods from the Four Great Super Forces and the Kingdom Ancestor suddenly trembled because at that time, they all sensed several obscure yet powerful auras appearing, undoubtedly some Heavenly Gods, and they had arrived mysteriously.

This auction event was likely to be far more variable than expected.

Half an hour later, everyone had gradually arrived, and at that moment, the entire auction hall’s lighting suddenly dimmed, even the pearls embedded in the Heavenly Dome instantaneously lost their luster, casting the space into utter darkness—

The grand auction, opened!
