"Next up is the grand finale of this auction!"
Sophie's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she gently tapped the counter with her slender hand.
Then, the surrounding spiritual energy began to converge on the auction stage at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a moment, a thick fog, entirely composed of spiritual energy, enveloped the entire auction stage.
"Such a rich spiritual energy!"
"I really want to take a drag."
"Could this item be a formation? A formation that can gather spiritual energy?"
"I think it must be a rare and precious natural treasure. Legend has it that when some high-level rare and precious natural treasures are born, they are accompanied by some unusual celestial phenomena, and the surrounding spiritual energy becomes exceptionally rich."
The fact that such a huge commotion had already been caused before the last item even appeared has instantly made many people excited.
A moment later, a myriad of celestial rays pierced through layers of mist, and a rich Daoist aura permeated the air.
Looking towards the auction stage, everyone could only vaguely make out a small, palm-sized outline.
"Is it a fruit?"
"What kind of rare and precious treasure is this?"
"Since the Heaven and Earth Auction House has chosen it as their grand finale item, it must be extraordinary!"
The curiosity in everyone's hearts has been completely aroused.
Soon, the thick fog gradually dissipated.
Countless eyes were fixed on the auction stage.
A bright red fruit appeared on the auction stage, its surface radiating an extremely rich Daoist aura.
"this...."
"A divine object, absolutely a divine object from heaven and earth!"
"Such a profound Daoist aura! Just one glance is enough to make one want to comprehend the Dao!"
Looking at the bright red fruit, everyone felt a sense of clarity, and their thinking became a bit quicker than usual.
"boom"
A powerful aura emanated from one of the private rooms.
Some people, just by glancing at that red fruit, directly comprehended the cultivation technique that had troubled them for decades, successfully broke through their cultivation level, and took another step forward!
Those who noticed this scene looked at the bright red fruit on the auction stage, their eyes filled with madness.
boom
A deafening roar resounded.
Just when everyone thought that some deity had succumbed to temptation and was about to forcibly seize it.
An incredibly powerful aura instantly swept across the entire auction house.
Snap
A crisp snap of fingers rang out, and the originally vast and powerful aura suddenly vanished without a trace.
"It is Emperor Zhou!"
"Emperor Zhou actually sent people too!"
"I didn't expect that person to be interested in the Heaven and Earth Auction House as well."
"No, this divine fruit must not be allowed to be obtained by Emperor Zhou!"
Countless divine thoughts constantly converged within the auction house.
At this moment, a faint, ethereal figure appeared in Wang Jin's private room.
"Wang Jin, what brings you here?"
The phantom slowly spoke, its tone filled with supreme authority, but its eyes held a deep sense of vigilance.
Just a moment ago, he actually felt a vast aura, like a boundless ocean, that directly suppressed him.
This is definitely a great person!
Even among the most powerful beings, they are not weak!
"Your Majesty, this is the Heaven and Earth Auction House."
"A rare and divine artifact has appeared at this year's Heaven and Earth Auction House."
Wang Jin bowed respectfully to the illusory figure of Emperor Zhou.
Following the direction Wang Jin pointed, Emperor Zhou was startled. His usually calm and unfathomable face suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.
"The Fruit of Enlightenment!"
Even with Emperor Zhou's composure, seeing the fruit on the platform stirred up a storm in his heart, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.
"We must obtain that fruit at all costs!"
Emperor Zhou said firmly.
As long as one consumes this Enlightenment Fruit and successfully cultivates that technique, the Sun Moon Sect will be free from any threat!
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was the supreme ruler!
"Just focus on the bidding. I will send the spirit stones over shortly. You must secure this Enlightenment Fruit!"
"Wang Jin, you can do it!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jin opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately gave a firm reply.
"able!"
Upon hearing Wang Jin's answer, Emperor Zhou nodded in satisfaction, then scanned the auction house with his divine sense.
Sensing the Zhou Emperor's divine will, the group decisively stopped their conversation and bowed respectfully to him.
However, Emperor Zhou ignored them and withdrew his divine sense, his gaze becoming deep.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to our Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Seeing that the illusory image of Emperor Zhou was fading, Wang Jin immediately knelt down and said respectfully.
He only dared to raise his head after the Zhou emperor disappeared.
However, he was already drenched in cold sweat.
As a senior eunuch who had served Emperor Zhou for hundreds of years, how could he not know Emperor Zhou's thoughts?
At this moment, Emperor Zhou is probably already harboring murderous intent towards some of the forces in this auction house.
Once Emperor Zhou obtains that red fruit, it will likely be time for a great reckoning.
"How terrifying is Emperor Zhou!"
In a private room, the elder of the Fiendish Netherworld Sect looked terrified, as if he had seen some extremely terrifying creature.
"No, I must get the message back to the sect as soon as possible!"
The Great Zhou Dynasty's Heaven and Earth Auction House auctions rare treasures!
Sensing the extreme tension in the auction hall, Sophie smiled radiantly, pointed her jade-like finger to the fruit on the stage, and spoke softly with her red lips.
Have any of you ever heard of the fruit of enlightenment?
Upon hearing this, everyone in the auction hall gasped in shock, their eyes filled with indescribable horror.
They originally thought they had overestimated the value of that spiritual fruit.
But to their surprise, the value of this spiritual fruit far exceeded their expectations!
Enlightenment has arrived!
This is a legendary item!
It is said that this fruit can help a person achieve enlightenment.
Enlightenment is an extremely rare opportunity in the entire Divine Wilderness Continent!
Legend has it that someone once took the Enlightenment Fruit, watched the surging waves of the sea, and comprehended a sword technique in the middle of a great river. With one step, he collapsed the sky, and with one sword, he opened the gate to heaven, entering the supreme holy realm and being revered as the Sword Saint!
Some people also consumed the Enlightenment Fruit, comprehended the core mysteries of the cultivation technique, and pushed their family's inherited cultivation technique to an unprecedented level, ultimately achieving the prosperity of a great clan for tens of thousands of years!
...
There are countless legends about the Enlightenment Fruit throughout the entire Divine Wilderness Continent!
However, very few people have actually seen the fruit of enlightenment.
Even across the entire Divine Wilderness Continent, the Enlightenment Fruit is a legendary item.
And now, this legendary item has actually appeared before their eyes?
This gave everyone a dreamlike feeling.
Seeing the somewhat deathly silence in the auction hall, Sophie smiled and spoke again.
"This Enlightenment Fruit was also obtained by the forces behind my lord within the forbidden zone."
Originally, we weren't planning to auction this item.
"However, due to some other reasons, after careful consideration, my lord has decided to put this rare treasure up for auction."
"Gentlemen, if you miss this village, who knows when you'll see this legendary item again?"
