A moment later, the old man in the Taoist robe spoke again: "Twenty-three trillion immortal stones."
Two trillion immortal stones—such a number is already terrifying enough.
Heaven knows what kind of deal the Taoist elder in his robes made to collect so many immortal stones at such a high price.
"Immortal stones... are nothing more than external possessions!"
The old man in the Taoist robe knew very well that the supreme sword technique contained in that sword embryo was absolutely beyond the measure of immortal stones!
If they could... they would naturally want to obtain that supreme sword technique.
As for the cost of borrowing so many immortal stones... it's something we all share. If such a supreme opportunity falls into the hands of the Celestial Court's ruler, whether it's a blessing or a curse, who can say for sure?
That person is far too extreme!
The Lord of the Celestial Court couldn't help but frown. The chains of countless chaotic orders creaked and rattled. He hadn't expected that these people would actually unite to achieve such a feat.
"Is this an attempt to deplete the resources of my Celestial Court?"
"What a ridiculous idea."
The Celestial Court's ruler coldly stated, "Four trillion immortal stones."
So what if the Celestial Court's foundation is completely depleted?
As long as he can reach that realm, it would be worth it even if it meant emptying the Immortal Court's ancient foundation. Even if billions of Immortal Kings were born, it wouldn't be as good as letting him reach the Immortal Emperor realm alone.
"Gurgle..."
Upon hearing the staggering figure of four trillion, everyone in the auction hall was stunned by such a grand gesture.
"Amitabha..." The ancient Buddha of Buddhism murmured a Buddhist chant, but his hands were trembling uncontrollably, revealing the extreme unease in his heart.
The elderly Taoist priest in his robes swallowed hard, breaking out in a cold sweat: "Damn it, he's really gone mad!"
Even if the Celestial Court is supreme, it can't be so reckless, can it?
He had a premonition that if he continued to participate in the auction, that guy would probably sell the entire Celestial Court just to keep participating.
What's the point of arguing about this?!
Sensing the divine thoughts spreading around him, the old man waved his sleeve and said, "Get out of here! You've been sticking your neck out once, but if you continue, you'll be punished later."
Although he was still somewhat unwilling, the technique, which was suspected to have been created by a Celestial Emperor-level figure, had just slipped away from his sight!
"However, this has weakened the Celestial Court's foundation. When the next auction begins, the Celestial Court will be powerless to fight back."
The old man comforted himself, saying, "It's normal that we can't compete with the Celestial Court!"
It's not shameful.
"Thump"
"Thump"
"Thump"
This time, there were no surprises. With the fall of the auction hammer three times, the ownership of the supreme sword technique contained in the broken sword was officially announced.
"Four trillion immortal stones, that's truly a fortune! With so many resources, it might even be enough to create an Eternal-level Immortal Emperor."
Yang An was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the Lord of the Celestial Court to go so crazy in the end. The four trillion immortal stones would probably completely drain the foundation of this behemoth, the Celestial Court, over several eras.
The supreme sword technique contained within that broken sword is worth such a price.
However, the biggest winner this time is himself!
Four trillion immortal stones are practically free.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
Congratulations!
As the broken sword disappeared, the entire auction house, after a brief moment of shock, quickly recovered and offered their congratulations.
Immortal King Wenhe was secretly overjoyed. Fortunately, he made his decision early enough. If he had hesitated even a moment, he would probably have become a mere spectator. Compared to the Supreme Sword Technique, he had acquired the Thunder Emperor's Eye for a price of one trillion immortal stones, which was already extremely lucky.
And look at those old friends who were determined to make one last desperate gamble—they're now kicking themselves.
Who would have thought that such a great figure as the Lord of the Celestial Court would come in person?
This is outrageous!
But they couldn't say any of this.
The Lord of the Celestial Court gazed at the sword embryo named 'Guardian' before him. He reached out and grasped the sword embryo in his hand. In just an instant, he felt an infinite sword intent, as vast as the heavens and the abyss, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.
"Is this the path of a Celestial Emperor realm expert?"
The Lord of the Celestial Court thought to himself, when he truly wanted to master this sword, he discovered that it was far more complex than he had imagined, and the supreme sword technique within it was not as easy to obtain as he had thought.
Even a mere, unintentional display of its power is enough to cause a cataclysmic event, as if the universe itself were to collapse and the Great Dao itself were to be obliterated. If this sword intent were to be fully manifested, the entire Immortal Realm would likely be destroyed!
"If I can't even withstand a wisp of sword intent, how can I talk about ruling the Immortal Realm and reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm?"
The Lord of the Celestial Court showed no fear, even though that wisp of sword intent contained extreme killing intent, and a careless move could damage his origin or even cause his demise.
A boundless fighting spirit blazed in the eyes of the Celestial Court Lord. He roared in a low voice, "Does a mere inanimate object dare to hinder my progress?"
"Submit to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the body of the Celestial Court Lord radiated brilliant celestial light. His aura as a Quasi-Celestial Emperor swept across the eight wastelands, causing countless worlds to shatter. The long river of time surged endlessly, and endless divine wheels manifested, revealing unparalleled splendor.
"This guy's aura... far surpasses that of any quasi-Immortal Emperor!"
When Wenhe Immortal King sensed that unparalleled supreme aura, he couldn't help but be shocked. He thought to himself, "In the Immortal Ancient Era, whether it's the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm or the four Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the Dark Land, their auras are far inferior to those of the Lord of the Immortal Court!"
Perhaps only that mysterious old man who guards the end of the long river of time can rival the aura emanating from the Lord of the Celestial Court at this moment.
Before Immortal King Wenhe could even sigh, an incomparably dazzling chaotic sword light, accompanied by a crisp sword cry, resounded throughout the entire void.
At that moment, Immortal King Wenhe discovered that the surrounding space seemed to be isolated.
"Was this the work of the City Lord?"
A space-time was completely isolated, equivalent to being in a completely different dimension. Only the mysterious city lord could accomplish such a feat.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, a towering sword light roared out, sweeping from all directions around the Lord of the Celestial Court. All concepts that could exist around it were destroyed; time and space, accompanied by a crisp sword cry, all turned into nothingness.
Only one large star remained, floating alone in place.
Seeing this horrifying scene, everyone finally understood why the city lord had separated this space. If it hadn't been separated, every single one of them would probably have turned into nothingness!
This is absolutely terrifying!
"Gurgle"
"Is this still the power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor? A Quasi-Immortal Emperor shouldn't be able to do this, right?"
"Could it be that that guy really has mastered the supreme sword technique?"
