In the blink of an eye, the price increased a hundredfold, a terrifying speed of advancement that left everyone speechless.

Keep in mind that this is just the beginning!

It's already so popular right from the start, so what will the final sales figure be?

"No, if the first item is this terrifying, what about the next one?"

"Just how valuable will the next item be?"

They were pondering and anticipating; such an auction was unprecedented in the Immortal Realm!

One hundred million immortal stones is far from the limit!

"One hundred and fifty million fairy stones"

"Two hundred million immortal stones"

Five hundred million immortal stones

"....."

The price has risen to an unbelievable level. Each immortal stone is at least condensed from the cultivation of a true immortal over a year. A single immortal stone placed outside the immortal realm is enough to cause anyone to fight to the death.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, since you all look down on this divine status, then this humble monk will speak."

The ancient Buddha murmured softly, and the Buddha's light shone everywhere, manifesting three thousand Buddha-lands. Hundreds of millions of monks sat cross-legged in the Buddha-lands, chanting Buddhist scriptures, their faces filled with compassion.

Furthermore, a Bodhi tree shimmering with Buddhist light hangs in the center of the Three Thousand Buddha Lands, illuminating all living beings.

"Ten billion fairy stones!"

This terrifying number made everyone's mouth twitch. The foundation of a royal family is usually around this amount. The royal family that Yang An wiped out, the Ancient Thunder Immortal King, had a foundation of only a little over 10 billion immortal stones.

"Tsk, you bunch of bald monks, aren't you supposed to be following Buddhism and Taoism? Do you want to cultivate a heretic or something?"

A mocking voice rang out, belonging to a hazy figure. He was surrounded by endless death energy, and also by three thousand worlds, but these three thousand worlds were filled with deathly silence, with various undead creatures fighting each other.

"Twenty billion fairy stones"

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, you have taken a photo." The ancient Buddha silently chanted the Buddha's name, his eyes flashing with infinite Buddha light. He put his hands together, and billions of miles of void were illuminated by Buddha light. A huge golden Buddha statue appeared outside the world. The golden statue lowered its head in compassion, and countless living beings evolved from its palms.

Countless great principles converge in his palm, encompassing all things.

There are far more than three thousand Buddhist and Taoist teachings.

All paths of sentient beings are paths of Buddhahood, and all billions of living beings can attain Buddhahood.

"This old guy's strength is terrifyingly high!"

The terrifying Immortal King, surrounded by an aura of endless death, was filled with apprehension upon seeing this. The moment the golden Buddha appeared, he sensed a deadly crisis.

"Fifty Billion Immortal Stones"

The golden Buddha spoke.

Fifty billion fairy stones!

Most royal families do not have such accumulation, except for ancient royal families that have existed for several eras.

The fact that the price of the immortal stones was increased by 30 billion in one go also represents the ancient Buddha's determination to obtain the supreme divine status!

"Wow, I didn't expect the first item to have reached such a level!"

With a bitter smile, the Immortal King said, "Who wouldn't want something that can make someone ascend to the heavens in one step and become a supreme being among the Immortal Kings?"

"One hundred billion fairy stones!"

A clear voice rang out. It belonged to an old man dressed in a Taoist robe. He had no aura fluctuations and seemed like an ordinary person. However, upon closer inspection, his face was blurry, and no matter how one looked, one could not see his true face.

"He is a Celestial King giant from the Dao Realm!"

Everyone was speechless. Apart from the Immortal Realm, the most powerful beings were the experts from the Buddhist and Taoist realms.

One hundred billion immortal stones—what an astronomical figure!

Are the Daoist realms... really that rich?

As the giants of both Buddhism and Taoism spoke, everyone fell silent. Apart from the Celestial Court, no one had absolute confidence in seizing power from the hands of the Buddhist and Taoist realms.

Among this group of people, there may be those who have lived for countless eons and have long since reached the level of Immortal King giants or even above Immortal King giants, such as the supreme powerhouse Wenhe Immortal King. For them, the supreme godhood is like a chicken rib, and naturally has no competitive value.

Upon hearing the Dao Realm's supreme expert raise the price by 50 billion immortal stones in one go, the ancient Buddha who reached the heavens fell silent for a moment.

All eyes were focused on the location of the ancient Buddha statue; they were waiting for the bidding to begin.

After a short while, the ancient Buddha suddenly opened his deep eyes, and the chanting from the three thousand Buddha kingdoms abruptly stopped.

"Two hundred billion fairy stones!"

silence

Deathly silence

One incredulous gaze after another fell upon them.

"How could that old fellow have such courage?"

Is it worth exchanging 200 billion immortal stones for the weakest Immortal King?

"This is only the first item in the auction. If the first item has already cost so much, how will the other two items compete?"

The Lord of the Celestial Court glanced at the Buddha with surprise; He had not expected that the Buddha possessed such charisma.

The old man from the Daoist realm remained silent for a moment upon hearing this. He seemed to want to bid, but his momentum quickly waned. After much back and forth, he ultimately did not speak.

"Thump"

"Two hundred billion immortal stones once"

"Thump"

"Two hundred billion immortal stones twice"

"Thump"

"Two hundred billion fairy stones three times"

"Congratulations"

As the third auctioneer's gavel fell, the silent starry sky erupted with countless booming sounds, and streams of energy flowed forth, congratulating the ancient Buddha.

"Congratulations"

"Congratulations"

"The Realm of Light will soon gain another Celestial King."

Numerous congratulatory messages resounded.

Amidst the congratulations of the crowd, the ancient Buddha chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Excellent, excellent, many thanks to the Taoist patrons for their generosity."

Two hundred billion immortal stones were taken out by the ancient Buddha, causing ripples in the void. The two hundred billion immortal stones then disappeared, leaving only the divine core engraved with mysterious runes.

The divine essence in the starry sky also disappeared.

......

Yang An's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the two hundred billion immortal stones in front of him.

He hadn't expected that the very first item in this auction would fetch such a high price of 200 billion immortal stones; his estimate was that 100 billion immortal stones might be the absolute maximum.

"Could it be that these Buddhas want to merge with the divine path and forge a new, unorthodox path?"

Yang An murmured, he didn't believe that the ancient Buddha couldn't see the flaws in the supreme deity.

The path of gods, or the path of faith, while it is true that a supreme godhood can allow one to reach the realm of a supreme god-king without much difficulty, the conditions are extremely demanding.

Not only does one need to forge their own divine kingdom, but they also need to abandon everything, retrace the divine path, and expand their followers. To reach the level of a Celestial King, one needs a massive number of followers.

The great masters of Buddhism would never do something so thankless and exhausting.

Two hundred billion immortal stones would be a huge loss even for Buddhism.

The only explanation is that the ancient Buddhas of Buddhism wanted to use the supreme divine status to embark on another path.

"It's time to prepare for the auction of fate."

Hopefully, the remaining two items will be helpful.
