Chapter 455: Chapter 407: The Final Showstopper

"Seven million!"

Immediately, silence enveloped the entire venue, as no one else spoke out. The price was just too steep, and many among the Immortal Forces found it difficult to accept.

Though the Reincarnation Handnotes were precious indeed, they did not absolutely guarantee success in transcending reincarnation to achieve the status of a Heavenly King.

Even if they were Reincarnation Handnotes left by a Primordial Supreme Reincarnation King from a past generation, they would not be considered expensive if they were complete. However, since they were incomplete, inevitably much of the content was lost. Otherwise, they would easily cost tens of millions of Spirit Stones, or even more.

Moreover, investing in these Handnotes would mean a significant loss for the subsequent auction of various treasures, as it would deplete a vast amount of Spirit Stones for bidding.

Another important reason for the silence was the bidder herself—the owner of Taichu Sacred Land, a goddess suspected to be an Immortal True King from a past era, exceedingly powerful, wielding the majority of the influence in the entire Supreme Sacred Land. It would be difficult for anyone to dare offend such a supreme Saintess.

Even the masters of other Immortal Forces were cautious and did not compete.

Ye Chen looked towards the Taichu Female Saint in surprise and speculation—was she preparing these Reincarnation Handnotes for her own use?

It was rumored in the world that she had been vying to cross reincarnation, but her current state did not seem to reflect that, and he had not asked Yaya about it.

In the end, no one else bid. The Handnotes were incomplete, and because the Taichu Female Saint had placed the bid, to show respect, the Handnotes went to her during the first round of bidding.

Surveying powerhouses like Ancient Heavenly Court, Yaochi Sacred Land, Great Leiyin Temple, and the Ye Family, none of them made a bid. These were all Emperor and Royal Families with the most complete and priceless Reincarnation Secret Realm Cultivation Handbooks, revealing all secrets, crafted by Emperors and Kings themselves, so naturally, they had no need to care.

As the auction continued, several Divine Medicines appeared that could be used for healing and saving lives, including Ye Chen’s Nine Revolutions Heart Returning Pill, which sparked a fierce competition among all the major Immortal Sacred Lands. For a moment, the scene became incredibly intense.

For the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, these healing and life-saving Divine Medicines were extremely valuable.

At one point, several forces almost came to blows over these medicines, and the atmosphere became chaotic with Divine Power surging, but in the end, the situation did not escalate and was forcefully suppressed.

Unexpectedly, the final price of the Nine Revolutions Heart Returning Pill reached six to seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones per pill, amounting to a total of two hundred million Spirit Stones, netting Ye Chen a significant profit.

Even after deducting the steep ten percent commission, he still netted close to two million Spirit Stones.

Only in such a scenario could the Nine Revolutions Heart Returning Pill fetch such a high price; otherwise, at other times, getting half would already be quite good.

After a series of heart-stopping auctions, this auction event was rapidly drawing to its climax.

Subsequently, the Great Elder of the Heavenly God Palace appeared in person, holding a brocade box with a Five-colored Divine Jade. With a slight smile, he opened it, and immediately a fragrant small tree appeared, emanating Seven-colored Divine Light and an impeccable medicinal fragrance, wrapped with strands of Dao Rules.

The moment this Seven-colored small tree appeared, the entire Auction Treasure Pavilion fell deathly silent, a pin drop could be heard, but then the whole place erupted in excitement. Even many Saint Lord Level characters couldn’t help but stand up, intently watching the small tree, their eyes blazing with Divine Radiance, almost wishing they could rush up and snatch it away.

A Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure, it was actually a Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure!

That was a truly priceless treasure, capable of bringing the dead back to life, healing flesh and bone. As long as one was not dead, leaving behind just a trace of the Primordial Spirit, or a Residual Soul, taking it would instantly revive and restore them.

What’s more, the greatest effect of the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure was to extend lifespan. Even for beings of the highest realms, it was useful, capable of prolonging life by nearly three hundred years.

It was an extraordinary medicine.

Especially for those Old Immortals nearing the end of their lifespan, the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure was an unparalleled priceless treasure of unmatched value in the world.

"A Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure is actually being auctioned off!"

The moment the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure appeared, control was lost in the venue immediately. All the Saint Masters and various heroes had eyes as fervent as fire, all wanting to win the bid.

"The starting price is four million Spirit Stones," said the Great Elder of the Heavenly God Palace with a smile, announcing a starting price even higher and more astonishing than before, instantly drawing a collective gasp from the audience.

Four million Spirit Stones were not much, quite simple for those Saint Lords who had been bidding millions of Spirit Stones previously, but one must understand this was just the starting price. Starting at four million Spirit Stones meant that the price after bidding would be exorbitant, not limited to merely six or seven million, but at least eight or nine million, or even higher, reaching tens of millions of Spirit Stones.

Ten million Spirit Stones, even for the Saints of the great Immortal Forces, represented a considerable fortune—affecting the entirety of the Immortal Force quite significantly.

"Four million three hundred thousand!" A Heroic Master’s expression remained unchanged as he directly increased the bid by three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, causing many who wished to compete to suddenly withdraw.

"Five million!" Another Heroic Master raised the bid to five million Spirit Stones, causing numerous Heroic Masters to frown; the price had escalated to this point after only the second call.

The auctioneer from the Heavenly God Palace spoke enticingly, "Esteemed guests, please think carefully. This is a Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure that could save a life at a critical moment. Furthermore, taking it regularly can extend one’s lifespan by over three hundred years; its value is inestimable. Do you truly believe your lives are worth less than mere Spirit Stones?"

It must be said that those who could preside over an auction at the Heavenly God Palace were no ordinary individuals; they enticed the crowd to restless anticipation with just a few words.

Indeed, as he said, those present were extraordinary figures from various powers, with respected identities—they naturally wouldn’t care too much about mere Spirit Stones.

Suddenly, the atmosphere on the scene intensified a great deal, with successive Heroic Masters speaking up, pushing the auction price for the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure to over six million three hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Zhao Tianyi said, "These are owners of the Immortal Sacred Lands, Saint Lord Level characters whose lives are extremely precious. Several million Spirit Stones for a life is an extremely worthwhile exchange for them."

Ye Chen nodded; they were indeed owners of the Immortal Sacred Lands, the most honored figures in the Ten Thousand Domains. For the sake of life, several million Spirit Stones were indeed not very expensive.

Among them, there were some Old Immortals whose lives were nearing their end; they were extremely eager for the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure. It could extend their lives for at least another two or three hundred years, making it the most precious Divine Medicine indeed.

If it wasn’t that this place was the Heavenly God Palace, protected by Old Immortals and suppressed by Heavenly King Level Dao Ancient Weapons, they would have already fought over it; who would bother with so many rules?

Still, their identities were incomparably distinguished and extraordinary, higher in status than the Saints, deserving the respect of their juniors. Naturally, they also had the financial power to bid.

Soon, the price of the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure soared above eight million two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, far exceeding many expectations.

However, at this price, many of the Immortal Forces could only shake their heads silently in resignation.

The Old Immortals appeared helpless too; the price was too steep, and most were preparing for the final artifact of the auction, so many forces stopped bidding.

In the end, the auction price stopped at nine million Spirit Stones, secured by an owner of an Immortal Sacred Land, leaving many with no choice but to sigh in resignation.

However, during the auction, Ye Chen noticed that the significant figures from the three strongest forces—Yaochi Sacred Land, Ancient Heavenly Court, and the Great Leiyin Temple—hadn’t made a single bid, appearing calm and collected, with the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure merely attracting their mild attention.

During the auction, several treasures and divine materials that could excite even Saint Lord level figures appeared on stage. They could be used to refine Heavenly King-level Ancient Weapons or other items. Even some Ancient Scriptures, albeit incomplete ones, caused a massive stir.

Then, the entire venue suddenly fell silent, everyone holding their breath, because the final artifact of the auction, the piece de resistance, was about to be presented.

Even Ye Chen couldn’t help but look over, his breathing growing more urgent.

What could be the final crowning treasure of a Saint Lord level auction, if not something extraordinary?

Upon the auction platform, three ancient silhouettes appeared with a swoosh, causing a stir among the crowd. These were terrifying Old Immortals, their figures blurred and Dao Traces enduring, and now summoned forth, one could only imagine how valuable the final crowning treasure must be.

The Great Elder of the Heavenly God Dao, following the instruction of the three Old Immortals, launched eighty-one Divine Light beams into the zenith of the Heavenly Dome, where a boundlessly brilliant light source stood, akin to the sun, an Ancient World Suppressing Weapon suppressing the Heavenly God Palace.

The light source opened and a fist-sized pitch-black stone fell into the hands of the Great Elder of the Heavenly God Palace—plain and unremarkable, without the interweaving of Dao Traces, without the slightest ripple of Divine Power; it left everyone in the audience in disbelief. Could this black stone truly be the so-called final crowning treasure?

Some Saint Lord Level characters’ eyes burst with brilliant light, intertwining Dao Traces to evolve a Heavenly Eye and attempting to see through everything. Yet, astonishingly, the pitch-black stone was impenetrable, even the Divine Sense of the Saint Lord Level characters could not pierce through it to perceive what was inside.

Ye Chen was shocked because he recognized the pitch-black substance on the surface of the stone as the legendary Sealing God Black Robe.

This Sealing God Black Robe was not a garment but a kind of special stone outer layer, rarely seen in the world. It could seal Divinity, preventing any from leaking out—a treasure even more potent than the World Heart Fragment, which also couldn’t penetrate or investigate the interior.

Generally, this Sealing God Black Robe would only be found in huge Spirit Veins with reserves of hundreds of millions of Spirit Stones; it was exceedingly rare.

Naturally, this was not just a pitch-black stone but a treasure in the form of a stone, merely sealed with the Sealing God Black Robe.

The Great Elder of the Heavenly God Palace revealed a cryptic smile and unveiled a corner of the stone’s covering, sending out a sudden, immensely bright golden beam of light that illuminated the Heavenly God Palace’s Treasure Pavilion.
