"The seventh item sold for a price of fifty million low-grade divine resources."
"What kind of divine objects will the eighth and ninth items be?"
"What is the Heaven and Earth Auction House trying to do that they've gone to such great lengths to hold this auction?"
The expressions of everyone in the auction hall began to turn solemn.
Fifty million divine sources is no small amount.
Divine sources and spirit stones are different.
Spirit stones are plentiful in the world, and can even be artificially synthesized through array formations.
But the divine source
The only way to obtain it is to explore beyond the realm, or to go to some extremely dangerous and forbidden places.
However, top-tier blessed lands are far more precious than divine sources.
Exchanging a low-grade divine source for a top-grade blessed land is considered a worthwhile investment for many forces.
"The Eighth Item"
"A Page of an Ancient Book"
"It is said to have been written by a sage who practiced Confucianism and Taoism, but unfortunately, the sage's book was shattered into countless fragments during a great battle."
"And this page is a fragment from the classics, containing the truths expounded by the sages and imprinted with the laws of the Great Way."
At first, when they heard about the ancient book, the people were somewhat skeptical.
However, upon hearing the words "sage," everyone's gaze turned solemn.
Throughout history, countless glorious paths have been born.
Confucianism and Taoism also had their glorious moments.
The sages of Confucianism and Taoism are different from the sages of today.
In comparison, the sages of Confucianism and Taoism are even comparable to the emperors of today!
The books of sages and virtuous men are also the culmination of a great emperor's life's work and insights!
Although only a fragment of a page was auctioned, it contained unimaginable opportunities and good fortune.
On the auction stage, the original scene of the blessed land had vanished, replaced by a dazzling golden pillar. Floating within the pillar was a tattered page, on which only two characters could be vaguely discerned.
Spring and Autumn Period
This fragment of a page seemed to transcend the flow of time, imbued with an ancient aura. Following the flow of time, at the end of that flow, all that could be seen was an old man sitting cross-legged. The old man had a gentle expression and kind eyes. As soon as he spoke, extraordinary phenomena appeared, boundless golden light spread, auspicious omens descended from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, and even the Great Dao offered its congratulations.
"We absolutely must photograph this fragment of an ancient book!"
A prompting voice suddenly rang in the mind of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land elder.
It was the voice of the Confucian Sword Master. At this moment, the Confucian Sword Master was no longer as indifferent as before. Outside the auction house, he could feel a supreme Confucian aura coming from him.
After obtaining Jiang Taixu's consent, he directly transmitted his voice to the private room where the elder of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land was located in the auction house.
The Confucian Sword Master could sense that this fragment of ancient book contained profound Confucian and Taoist principles. If he could obtain it, he might truly have a chance to break free of his shackles and defy the heavens to become a saint!
Thinking of this, even with his composure, he couldn't help but go crazy for it.
To defy the heavens and become a saint represents the highest honor. Throughout history, very few people have been able to achieve this!
However, it wasn't just Confucian Sword Master who was interested.
"This page of history should be the tenth treasure of our Divine Wilderness Academy!"
"May my Divine Wilderness Academy prosper forever!"
The Divine Wilderness Academy is the number one academy in the Divine Wilderness Dao Domain, and is also a supreme power no less than a holy land.
Some say that Shenhuang Academy inherited the legacy of the Confucian and Taoist era.
However, in this era, academies were not just for reading.
Martial arts cultivation, alchemy, formations, carving, weapon crafting, and more—the Divine Wilderness Academy has it all.
Its admissions method, which is inclusive of all students and does not consider status or talent, but only perseverance and a heart devoted to the Dao, has earned the respect of countless people throughout the Divine Wilderness Dao Domain.
After countless years of development, the network of Shenhuang Academy can be said to have spread throughout the three thousand Dao Domains. There are even several Great Emperor-level powerhouses who left their Dao at the academy for future generations to refer to.
No one knows just how terrifying the current foundation of the Divine Wilderness Academy truly is.
The person who came to participate in the Heaven and Earth Auction was indeed an elder from the Divine Wilderness Academy. At this moment, he was staring intently at the tattered page on the auction stage, his eyes almost piercing through them, and his face was filled with excitement.
Although the other forces do not practice Confucianism or Taoism, the insights of a great emperor contained within them are enough to drive them mad.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Sophie announced the start of the auction for the eighth item.
"Starting bid: 100,000 low-grade divine resources; each bid must be at least 10,000 low-grade divine resources."
"The auction has officially begun!"
As the auction gavel fell, gasps of surprise erupted from the audience.
Two hundred thousand low-grade divine resources
"Twenty-five thousand low-grade divine sources"
"Five hundred thousand low-grade divine resources!"
"......"
"Ten million low-grade divine resources"
The bidding was as fierce as ever, and the price quickly soared to ten million low-grade divine resources.
In this auction, the usual indifference of the major powers completely disappeared, and every item that appeared in the auction was worth their attention.
Some of the smaller and medium-sized forces that came to participate in the auction fell into an endless silence.
At this moment, they realized that the first three items might be an opportunity prepared for them by the owner of the Heaven and Earth Auction House.
Unfortunately, they hesitated.
Now, I can only be a spectator.
"Let's continue cultivating. While there's still some time, let's make the most of it."
"Amidst this rich spiritual energy, boundless Daoist principles permeate my body, and I can feel my bottleneck loosening somewhat."
"The affairs of the outside world are none of my concern; cultivating here is already my greatest opportunity."
Whether it's the current auction price of ten million low-grade divine resources or the starting price of one hundred thousand low-grade divine resources, it's something they can't afford to participate in.
"Twenty million low-grade divine resources"
"Twenty-five million low-grade divine sources"
"......"
"Fifty million low-grade divine resources"
Neither the elders of the Divine Wilderness Academy nor the elders of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land spoke first.
They're all waiting!
"Fifty million low-grade divine resources once"
"Fifty million low-grade divine resources twice!"
Just as Sophie was about to bring down the final hammer.
Just when the head of the Li family thought that this fragment of the page would inevitably belong to the Li family.
A voice broke the silence in the room and shattered the illusions of the Li family patriarch.
"One hundred million low-grade divine resources!"
Seeing the opportunity that was within reach suddenly slip away, the Li family patriarch's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy.
"What kind of force dares to oppose my Li family like this?"
Why did they have to bid at the very last second before the deal was about to go through?
Isn't this deliberately trying to embarrass the Li family?
However, the reply from that voice soon terrified him.
"Shenhuang Academy, Song Ming"
