The auction continued. Ayao, sensing the atmosphere and recalling her experience watching the Black Nest from outside, asked her master, Feng Wu:
"Master, what exactly is this Black Nest?"
Feng Wu looked at A Yao with her golden-red eyes: "You already have a guess in your heart, don't you?"
Ayao nodded: "This Black Nest is actually an innate spiritual treasure, right?"
She wasn't an Immortal Emperor anymore, so she could only rely on her intuition. She wasn't sure if her guess was correct; her master had been to the Black Nest before and made a deal with its owner, so her master must know.
“You’re right, the entire Black Nest is a manifestation of a primordial spiritual treasure,” Feng Wu said.
Upon hearing this, A Yao thought to herself: I knew it! Even though my master and I concealed our auras so well outside the Black Nest, the Black Nest was still able to recognize that my master was a Great Luo Golden Immortal and bring the Rainbow Bridge over.
“The entire Black Nest is a single innate spiritual treasure. Within the Black Nest, there are probably very few people who can rival the Lord of the Black Nest,” A Yao said.
“The Lord of the Black Nest is very mysterious. No one knows how long he has lived, and no one would want to provoke such a powerful expert,” Feng Wu said.
Ayao thought of Lou Munan. The Lord of the Black Nest has lived for so long, would he know Lou Munan?
In her past life, during the cataclysmic calamity, the Lord of the Black Nest never appeared. To be precise, he didn't show up until her death. But since he even made deals with the demons, he probably didn't care about the cataclysmic calamity at all; he was perfectly neutral...
"What are you thinking about?" Feng Wu asked.
"I'm wondering if the Lord of the Black Nest knows the Demon Lord Xuan Tian," A Yao said.
“Demon Lord Xuantian…” Feng Wu looked at A Yao, “In the Canglan Realm, when you encountered him in a weakened state, you shouldn’t have cared about your master. You should have used all your power to kill him first.”
Ayao lowered her head. She told her master what had happened in the Canglan Realm, but omitted many details. If her master knew that she had given up her own life force to fight Lou Munan in their final battle, she would probably be scolded.
Seeing Ayao lower her head, looking like a child who had done something wrong, Feng Wu's heart softened again. She reached out and patted Ayao's head.
“I’m not blaming you. I’m so glad you came to save me. My own sister betrayed me. I thought I would never trust anyone again in this life. You’ve shown me that there is still someone I can trust. I’m really touched.”
"Master..."
Ayao looked up at Fengwu.
Feng Wu reached into her storage space and took out a zither. The zither was entirely white, as if it were made of ice and snow, and even the strings were translucent. As soon as the zither appeared, the entire room was filled with a chill and frost.
"This is……"
Ayao looked at the zither; it was a divine treasure that could reach the heavens, and it even carried the aura of the Phoenix Clan.
"I don't know which fallen Phoenix ancestor this is, but I traded it with someone at the trade fair, thinking it would be your magic weapon. This zither is called Snow Phoenix Weeps Tears," Feng Wu said.
Ayao accepted it with both hands and said happily, "Thank you, Master!"
"No need to thank me, just keep it!" Feng Wu said with a smile.
Ayao smiled and put the zither into her storage space.
Just then, a voice echoed outside, saying:
"The item to be auctioned next is an extremely rare treasure called the Sands of Time."
Upon hearing the name "Sands of Time," everyone in the room was shocked. The Sands of Time, the very essence of time—who would have thought such a treasure would be offered at this auction?
Above the auction platform, after a flash of silver light, a glass bottle floated there, with five points of light shimmering in the transparent glass. Those five points of light were the five grains of sand of time.
"This item has no bidding price. If any of you guests wish to acquire it, you may bring out your own treasures, and Black Nest will choose one of you to exchange with."
Everyone was stunned; there was no starting price. But then they thought that this was the origin of time, and it made sense.
Many people lost interest upon hearing the auction terms. However, quite a few Grand Luo Golden Immortals and Immortal Kings were immediately tempted.
Several beams of light shot out from different rooms, flying towards the auction stage. The treasures within these beams were shrouded in a thick layer of light, making them indistinct; no one knew what they contained. Feng Wu looked at A Yao and said:
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get it for you!"
As she spoke, she grabbed something from her storage space and threw it outside. A red light, like lightning, flew towards the auction stage.
Ayao didn't see clearly what her master threw out, but she had just sensed a chilling aura that made her heart pound; it seemed, it seemed to be a piece of bone...
The black-robed man who had previously disappeared reappeared, looking at the treasures floating in front of him, seemingly deliberating.
Different beams of light flew out from different rooms and headed towards the auction stage.
There were a total of twenty-eight guests who wanted the sand at that moment.
Ayao became nervous. Who would Black Nest ultimately trade with?
With a wave of his hand, the black-robed man on the auction stage sent the twenty-seven treasures flying back to their owners, all returning to their rightful owners. The treasures that didn't return were those taken out by Feng Wu, so the sand then flew towards Feng Wu and A Yao's room.
Ayao watched with delight as the glass bottle containing the Sands of Time pierced through the light barrier and flew to her. She reached out and took the bottle in her hand, gazing at the starlight-like silver specks inside.
Many people want to know who obtained the Sand of Time, but their divine senses cannot see Feng Wu and A Yao.
"Is there anything else you want?" Feng Wu asked A Yao.
