"Two hundred and eleven billion fate points"
Tianlan Immortal King continued speaking.
"Do you really want to continue bidding? At this point, with your cultivation level, it should be difficult for you to withstand the backlash of fate, right?" the dean of Daotian Academy asked.
Upon hearing this, Celestial King Tianlan sneered, "Old man, so what if you've reached your limit? This Confucian and Taoist heritage no longer belongs to your Confucian school."
"This is an auction; the highest bidder wins. Besides, you have lost all your Confucian classics and have no foundation whatsoever. How can you prove that you are a Confucian?"
Upon hearing this, the dean of Daotian Academy wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word. All his unspoken words were condensed into his final sentence: "Two hundred and fifty billion Destiny Points."
"Two hundred and fifty billion Destiny Points, old man, I didn't expect you to still have such strength. It's a pity that you are ultimately a mediocre person." Immortal King Tianlan laughed loudly: "Two hundred and sixty billion Destiny Points!"
"I am the victor in the end!"
The Heavenly Lan Immortal King wore a confident smile. Although 26 billion Destiny Points was his limit, he could afford such a price as long as he won the bid!
"These two guys are really crazy," the Taoist elder in his robes murmured. Do these two Immortal King giants really think they can act with impunity? An ordinary Immortal King giant might not be able to withstand a drop in cultivation level if he offered a hundred billion Fate Points, but these two are jumping back and forth on the critical point. Do they really think that fate is so easy to interfere with?
The mysterious city lord wouldn't be so kind as to help them bear the consequences of their changed fates; in other words, the buyers themselves must bear this enormous karmic burden!
The dean of Daotian Academy remained calm, as if he had given up on the final competition. Looking at the young scholar beside him, he smiled and said, "Mingyuan, after today, you will be the dean of Daotian Academy."
The young man was clearly confused. He asked, puzzled, "And what about you, teacher?"
"Didn't we agree to drop the dispute over this item?"
The young man knew that his teacher didn't have that many Fate Points left, and at that moment he was both very happy and somewhat complicated.
The dean of Daotian Academy didn't say much, but continued, "After you take over Daotian Academy, if you encounter any problems, you can ask your senior uncle Songbai. Your senior uncle Xuefei likes to drink and is often careless, so you'll need to be more tolerant of that."
"As for your Uncle Yuanji, just ignore him; he won't make things difficult for you."
"......"
At this moment, all is silent beneath the starry sky.
Yang An calmly surveyed his surroundings: "Two hundred and sixty billion Fate Points per attempt."
"Two hundred and sixty billion Fate Points twice"
"Two hundred and sixty billion Fate Points three times"
As Yang An finished speaking, the old face of the Heavenly Lan Immortal King beamed like a chrysanthemum: "Haha, the final victor is still me!"
The Celestial King Tianlan gazed at the ancient book before him, which exuded a vast aura. Countless Daoist techniques and supernatural powers intertwined, forming myriad phenomena in the heavens, shimmering like starlight.
Yang An pointed, and a stream of light entered the body of the Heavenly Lan Immortal King. At that moment, the Heavenly Lan Immortal King's strength suddenly dropped sharply.
"No...this isn't right!"
The Heavenly Lan Immortal King looked terrified; in just one breath, half of his Dao Fruit had been shaved off.
In two breaths, his cultivation level dropped to the ordinary Immortal King realm.
"No, no, stop! Lord City Lord, I don't want this ancient scripture anymore! Please stop!"
Tianlan Immortal King panicked. He felt that things were now beyond his expectations, and the reduction in his cultivation level was a bit unscientific!
Yang An shook his head and said, "Once the deal is confirmed, the outcome cannot be reversed."
He wasn't deceiving Tianlan Immortal King; it was the truth. With his strength, he indeed couldn't interfere with the system's operation.
He had already given a warning before the auction, so the subsequent consequences had nothing to do with him.
In three breaths, the cultivation level of the Celestial King Tianlan completely plummeted to the True Immortal Realm.
"No, this shouldn't be happening! My cultivation level! My cultivation level!"
The Celestial King Tianlan was in a miserable state; even his face was incredibly aged, and his entire body was filled with a deathly aura, clearly indicating that he was not far from death.
Every Immortal King's path is fraught with countless thorns. To reach this level, one naturally needs to overcome some old ailments. If Immortal King Tianlan were still a powerful Immortal King, he could naturally suppress these insignificant old ailments. However, now that he has fallen from his Immortal King status, he cannot suppress these injuries with his True Immortal level cultivation.
"As expected, this old guy is far more complex than he appears." The ancient Buddha of Buddhism looked at this scene with deep apprehension in his eyes. He thought of how Hongguang Immortal King didn't even flinch when 19 billion Fate Points were extracted, and compared that to the miserable state of Tianlan Immortal King now.
"It's hard to reason with a damned fool," Shi Yuxian shook his head. Then, his gaze drifted towards the Dao Tian Academy, and he thought to himself, "I've settled this karmic debt."
One of the Quasi-Immortal Emperors who died in the Immortal Ancient Era was a supreme expert of Confucianism, and Confucianism completely declined after that battle.
But it has nothing to do with him now.
Tianlan Immortal King felt his life slipping away, and he cried out in anguish, "Hahahaha, I swept across the eight wastelands, pacified the four seas, and ruled over a realm, yet I never imagined I would fall here, in a battle unlike any I've ever fought before!"
"That's a joke!"
"With the fall from the Immortal King's position and the shattering of his Dao heart, even if the Heavenly Lan Immortal King survives, he is essentially crippled," the Taoist elder in his robes murmured, a chill running down his spine.
Then the old man in the Taoist robe shook his head again: "He couldn't possibly have survived."
At this moment, the body of the Celestial King Tianlan gradually became nothingness, disappearing completely in the midst of horrified gazes, and was utterly erased!
A powerful Celestial King has vanished just like that!
The fall of Gu Lei, an ordinary Immortal King, had already shaken the entire Immortal Realm, let alone the fall of Tianlan, a powerful Immortal King.
"Transaction...failed..."
Yang An felt somewhat helpless. In fact, the Heavenly Lan Immortal King still had a chance to survive this calamity, but his Dao heart collapsed, which ultimately led to his failure to survive.
This is the first time he has encountered a scenario where a transaction has failed.
Just as everyone was still reeling from the shock of the fall of a Celestial King, an aged voice rang out: "Lord City Lord, since Celestial King Tianlan's deal has failed, can this item be considered as belonging to my Daotian Academy?"
Yang An looked in astonishment toward the direction of Daotian Academy. He was already considering whether to re-auction the auction, but unexpectedly, the dean of Daotian Academy took the initiative to step forward.
"Can"
Yang An nodded. In any case, the two were not much different, so it wasn't a loss for him.
