Preparations for the auction were in full swing, drawing the attention of the entire continent to Soto City.
But Ning Liu knew that the external noise was just a means to an end; the real core lay in the breakthrough of their own top combat power.
In the days leading up to the auction, he secretly summoned several of his most trusted allies.
The location was not in the council hall, but in a secluded valley in Liuli Tianhou Mountain, a place rich in spiritual energy.
There were only a handful of people in the valley.
Ning Liu, Bibi Dong, Sword Douluo, Tang Xiao, as well as Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.
"Everyone,"
Ning Liu cut to the chase, his expression more serious than ever before, and looked at Bibi Dong with intense gaze:
"Your Holiness, how far along is your Rakshasa God Trial? Is there anything you need me to do?"
Bibi Dong met his gaze and slowly said:
"The eighth test is the reforging of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe. It requires the fusion of nine pairs of spider-like soul beast spears and a 100,000-year-old head soul bone as the core."
"The spider spears of spider-type spirit beasts, combined with the Spirit Hall's treasury and the collections over the years, are almost enough. But the 100,000-year-old head spirit bone..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.
A head bone from a hundred thousand years ago is something that can only be encountered by chance and is extremely rare.
Upon hearing this, Ning Liu smiled slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, a jet-black skull shimmering with an eerie light appeared in his hand.
On this skull are eight eerie eye sockets, radiating a chilling, malevolent divinity.
"This is... a head bone from a hundred thousand years ago?"
Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted.
She could feel that the power contained in this skull was highly compatible with her Rakshasa divine power!
Ning Liu handed the skull directly to Bibi Dong, saying, "I think it should be able to help you complete the final step."
Bibi Dong took the skull; it was icy cold to the touch. A pure, dark aura instantly surged into her body, causing her to shudder.
She gave Ning Liu a deep look; this man always managed to come up with things that exceeded her expectations.
Thank you.
Without much formality, she solemnly put away the skull, saying, "Give me some time, and I will surely inherit the Rakshasa God's position completely!"
Ning Liu looked at the others.
What he needs to do is very simple: understand everyone's progress in the divine examination, and then, starting today, enter the final sprint stage of the divine examination...
Soto City, the Crystal Sky Grand Auction House.
The atmosphere in the entire city reached its peak that day.
From dawn, the main roads leading to the auction house were packed with people. Countless Soul Masters eagerly awaited the arrival of this event, which was touted as "unprecedented."
Those who were able to enter the inner hall of the auction house were all renowned figures on the mainland.
The gathering included the sect leaders of various sects, the patriarchs of families, reclusive titled Douluo, and the newly rich of the Federation, representing almost 80% of the top figures and wealth on the entire continent.
The interior of the auction house was even more magnificent and grand.
Luxurious VIP suites, arranged like a honeycomb, surround the huge central circular exhibition stage, ensuring privacy and an excellent view for every guest.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's private room, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo sat upright.
Looking at the bustling crowd below, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh:
"Back in the day, when Liuli Tian held its first auction, it was still struggling to meet its auction revenue targets."
"I never imagined that Liu'er's actions would reach such a level that they would stir up such a storm in the world."
Sword Douluo wiped his Seven Kill Sword and said calmly, "Times have changed. He carries the future of the entire continent on his shoulders."
On the other side, in the Haotian Sect's private room, Tang Chen, Tang Xiao, and Tang Hao, who had recovered some of his health, all had solemn expressions.
They came this time with the determination to succeed.
Ning Liu has promised to provide something that would be of great use to them.
As time went by, the room gradually quieted down.
Everyone knew that the real show was about to begin.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the lights in the entire auction hall suddenly dimmed, leaving only a dazzling golden beam of light descending from the sky and projecting precisely onto the central display platform.
Within the pillar of light, a graceful figure slowly rose.
She wore a gorgeous gold floor-length gown that perfectly accentuated her figure.
Her long, wavy brown hair shimmered with a captivating sheen under the lights, and her delicate features and sweet smile immediately drew everyone's attention upon her arrival.
It was none other than DouDou, the chief auctioneer of LiuLiTian!
Good evening, distinguished guests and friends!
DouDou's clear, melodious, and magnetic voice was clearly transmitted to every corner of the auction house through the soul-guided loudspeaker.
"Welcome to the grand auction hosted by our Liuli Heaven to celebrate the founding of the Douluo Federation! I am your old friend, DouDou!"
A burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers immediately erupted at the scene. DouDou's fame on the mainland is now vastly different from what it used to be.
DouDou smiled and stretched out her hands, making a light tap, and the room fell silent again.
"Everyone here today is an elite and a pillar of our Douluo Continent. Together we have witnessed the dark past and together we have ushered in the dawn of unification. The establishment of the Federation would not have been possible without the support and efforts of each and every one of you!"
Her words resonated with many people, and the atmosphere immediately became even more enthusiastic.
"Our Liuli Heaven Sect Master, Grand Marshal Ning Liu, has specially organized this auction to express his gratitude to everyone and to ensure that our newly formed Federation possesses greater strength to face potential future threats!"
