“No, no, no! He didn’t bluff you! This token is very valuable … No, no, no, the value of a gold token is simply unable to be measured using earth essence crystals!” Cai Yue said with somewhat incoherent speech.
She looked over the gold token in her hand repeated, confirming that this was genuine beyond doubt. The shock in her heart could be imagined.
The headquarters actually bypassed them and directly issued a gold token to this youth before her eyes. It could be seen how highly the headquarters regarded this youth!
“Like this huh, it’s good that elder sister says that this thing is valuable. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do today. Huhu, since it’s like this, then can this Starmoon Sword belong to me already? Uh … one billion earth essence crystals, I’ll write an IOU for you,” Ye Yuan said.
…
Seeing Cai Yue return to the stage alone, a hint of a cold smile flashed across the corners of Wu Jiantong’s mouth.
“Heh heh, I knew that that punk was pretending. With this, he threw himself into trouble, right? A country bumpkin who hasn’t seen the world before. He probably still doesn’t know how terrifying the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company is, right?”
By the side, Wu Jianqing and Peng Yan were also wildly elated when they saw this kind of situation.
The two of them could be said to hate Ye Yuan to the bones. This time, Ye Yuan courting death himself and offending the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company, it was truly most gratifying!
Right now, Cai Yue already recovered to that charming and moving appearance, standing on the stage still took people’s breath away.
“Made everyone wait for long. Really sorry about it. Let’s continue the auction. I wonder if there is still anyone offering a higher price for this Starmoon Sword? If there isn’t, it will belong to Young Master Ye. Additionally, from today onwards, Young Master Ye will be my Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company’s honored guest. If any mishap happens to him in the holy land, our Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company will definitely pursue it to the end!”
Cai Yue’s words made everyone stunned.
A man’s wealth was his own ruin by causing other’s greed.!
Cai Yue words were warning those people with devious ideas to not think about killing people to seize treasures this sort of thing.
Of course, the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company warning was still very fearsome.
Wu Jiantong’s expression changed, and he shouted, “Cai Yue, what’s going on here? Don’t tell me that that brat really has a billion earth essence crystals!”
Cai Yue smiled at Wu Jiantong and said, “Young Master Ye indeed has a billion earth essence crystals on his, without any problem at all! If Young Master Wu has set your mind on the Starmoon Sword, you can carry on bidding, I’ll invite Young Master Ye out again. But Young Master Ye said to me earlier that this Starmoon Sword, he’s determined to get it. Even if it’s two billion, he’ll accompany right till the end.”
Wu Jiantong’s expression became extremely ugly. His face had a fiery-hot feeling.
He thought that Ye Yuan was someone who had not seen the world. He didn’t expect that Ye Yuan was really wealthy!
Two billion!
Tsk tsk, these words were said domineeringly!
Even their family clan’s Phaseless Realm elders also did not dare say to be able to take out two billion earth essence crystals casually!
A puny little Divine Traversing Realm was actually able to take out such an astronomical figure of earth essence crystals. Too scary.
“Let’s go!”
At this auction venue, they were all people with statuses. How could Wu Jiantong still have the face to stay on?
He doubted that Ye Yuan did not have money. The result was that Ye Yuan was richer than himself.
“Hang on! Young Master Wu bought the Three-Lives Stone. Please settle the earth essence crystals before leaving,” Cai Yue said coolly.
Wu Jiantong’s figure froze, and he could only stop.
The Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company was not what their puny little Wu Family could afford to provoke.
It was just that due to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land being a Rank Nine Holy Land did the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company not send a Dao Profound Realm powerhouse to hold down the fort.
A distinguished Rank One Holy Land, the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company’s Dao Profound Realm powerhouses were considerable.
Helpless, Wu Jiantong toughened his scalp and settled the bill before bringing the Three-Lives Stone and leaving.
But this Wu Family really had people who were knowledgeable about goods. When Wu Jianton took the Three-Lives Stone for the Wu Family’s Family Head to see, he was immediately hurled with a torrent of abuse on the spot.
Using 60 million earth essence crystals to buy such a gray product and he actually had the nerve to take it out!
Of course, this was the afterword.
At present, Ye Yuan was currently in the hidden chamber. The Starmoon Sword was lying quietly on the sword rack. Ye Yuan looked intently at it and was silent for a long time.
No idea how long had passed either, then Ye Yuan suddenly heaved a sigh and went forward to lightly caress the sword body, saying to the Starmoon Sword, “Old partner, long time no see. Can you still recognize me?”
Chapter 792 - Black Metal Lump's Transformation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seemingly sensing something, the Starmoon Sword on the sword rack emitted a humming, quivering sound.
The spirituality of a holy artifact was even stronger than a profound artifact. Even if Ye Yuan already changed his appearance presently, it still recognized that former owner.
Ye Yuan smiled faintly, holding the Starmoon Sword in his hand.
Meeting again, waves of melancholy suffused in Ye Yuan’s heart.
Starmoon Sword was together with him for 200 years. But compared to the Limitless Cauldron, the Starmoon Sword was neglected too much by him.
Seeing the Starmoon Sword again currently, Ye Yuan actually had an indescribable sense of familiarity. Scenes of the bygone days rolled around inside Ye Yuan’s mind as if it was yesterday.
“Old partner, let’s strive together to return to the peak, and roam the Divine Realm unobstructed!”
The dark cloud around Ye Yuan’s body was swept away cleanly. What replaced it was a resolve to press forward with an indomitable will.
The Starmoon Sword emitted waves of light humming sounds. Clearly, it was replying Ye Yuan’s heroic declaration.
Ye Yuan inspected the Starmoon Sword for a bit and discovered that it was indeed damaged severely. He did not have many accomplishments in the path of artifact refining. Wanting to let the Starmoon Sword return to its peak state, he still had to find an artifact refining grandmaster.
But even if it was damaged so seriously, the Starmoon Sword was also more than just a level higher than the Xuanying Sword.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan’s degree of familiarity with the Starmoon Sword was completely not what other weapons could compare to.
Falling Flower Floating Zero was created by Ye Yuan using the Starmoon Sword.
…
Returning to his residence, Ye Yuan chose to enter closed-seclusion right away.
The residences were all provided for by the holy land. The security was strict. Ye Yuan was not worried that there would be people casting greedy eyes on his Starmoon Sword either.
His mind stirred, and Ye Yuan entered inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
The black metal chunk suspended quietly in front of Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan’s divine sense swept over towards the black metal chunk. The golden characters in his sea of consciousness indeed had a reaction.
Previously, Ye Yuan just extend his divine sense casually and did not do it seriously.
Experiencing it carefully at this very moment, he discovered that the golden characters’ strange activities were not as intense as he imagined.
“Uh … There
seems to be a kind of resonance. But what on earth is this sort of resonance? Apart from this, the black metal lump doesn’t seem to have any special aspect at all.”
Sensing for quite a while, Ye Yuan was rather dispirited too. Because the function of this black metal lump did not seem to be as big as imagined.
Could it be that spending these 10 million earth essence crystals were really a blunder?
Ye Yuan obviously would not be resigned to it. After such a long time, he finally had a chance to explore the profound mysteries of the golden characters. How could he be willing to let it slip by?
“Since there’s no reaction, I’ll refine you! I want to take a look at just what the hell you are!”
But the refining process was not as easy as Ye Yuan imagined.
This black metal lump was clearly not an ordinary item. Ye Yuan expended an entire day’s time and only refined one-tenth.
At the rate of this speed, he could forget about refining finish before the competition started.
But Ye Yuan did not lack patience. The second day, he refined another one-tenth. The black metal lump still did not have any reaction.
The third day, then the fourth day. When it reached the fifth day, the black metal lump finally had some transformation!
This transformation made Ye Yuan wildly ecstatic!
On the fifth day, Ye Yuan’s rate of progress already refined close to half. On the black metal lump, it actually shed off a piece, a hint of gold color emerging!
This hint of gold looked like some sort of character stroke. Ye Yuan cross-referenced this to the golden characters in his sea of consciousness for a bit and discovered that there were quite a few characters that matched that hint of character stroke.
“Could it be that recorded on this black metal lump is precisely this sort of golden characters? I didn’t notice before this, but looking at it now, this black metal lump seems rather like a cauldron’s fragment piece! Is it possible that … this is a Deity Realm powerhouse’s medicinal cauldron’s fragment piece?” Ye Yuan guessed boldly.
The sixth day, the Quasi-Holy Son selection competition was finally starting!
The qualifying system of the grand finals was very exaggerated. But it also significantly tested genuine strength.
A total of 60 contenders organized from No. 1 to No. 60. Every day, they would carry out three rounds of showdown. The opponents for each confrontation would be different, all the way until you finish facing off with all the opponents!
Which was also to say that each person would undergo a match with the other 59 contestants!
Finally, according to the number of victories, it would decide the rankings!
These grand finals would last for 20 day’s time.
This kind of qualifying system did not permit any bit of choosing the easy way. The contestants must go all out for each match before they could obtain a better rank.
When Pei Wenqiang saw Ye Yuan, the smile on his face was extremely odd.
“I heard that you made that Wu Family’s cocky brat eat a huge loss. Haha, really satisfying! That punk had long rubbed me the wrong way! The moment I recall Wu Jianqing’s horse face, I have unspeakable satisfaction in my heart! Wu Jiantong that brat doesn’t know that you have a gold token and actually even dared to doubt you. Hahaha, really killing me!”
Pei Wenqiang had seen before Ye Yuan’s hold token. At that time, he was frightened badly too.
This thing was completely not what earth essence crystals were able to measure. What was laughable was that Wu Jiantong actually even dared to doubt Ye Yuan’s ability to pay.
Served him right to eat a loss!
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, “Enough nonsense. Are our numbers issued yet?”
Pei Wenqiang did not mind either, saying with a laugh, “Out already. You’re No. 7. Tang Fan is No. 23. Mu Yun is No. 51.”
This number was randomly pulled. There was no good or bad as well. Either way, no matter what, they would run into every opponent.
Furthermore, the grand finals this time, every last one of them was not mediocre. Seems like whoever the opponent was did not matter.
“No. 7, seems pretty good. During which match will I run into that Nalan Chu?” Ye Yuan asked.
“Heh, helped you take a look long ago. You will only encounter him at the 42nd match. But don’t lower your guard either. Before him, there are also quite a few formidable foes. You have to pay attention,” Pei Wenqiang seemed to have long known Ye Yuan’s thoughts and reminded him.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and was not surprised about this.
Rendezvousing with Tang Fan, Mu Yun, and the rest, this group of people gathered at the Crimson Afterglow Plaza.
The Crimson Afterglow Plaza was situated at the central zone of the holy land. The total area occupied was extremely vast.
The selection competition this time was the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s unprecedented grand event and also the stage for the holy land’s various major families’ contest of strength. Therefore, the attention aroused was naturally very extensive too.
“First Elder, what significance does Holy Lord organizing this selection competition this time have? In my view, Nalan Chu is most assuredly the number one. What need is there still for such a competition?”
“Dao Profound Realm powerhouses can already peep into heaven’s secrets on the sly. How can the Holy Lord’s thoughts be what we’re able to speculate? Nalan Chu is indeed the holy land’s hard to come by in a thousand years genius. But to say that he’s definitely number one, I beg to differ. The competition this time selected quite a few interesting little fellows!”
“No way, right? Nalan Chu’s strength is fully worthy of number one in the holy land. Even Wu Jiantong is a great deal worse than him. Among the other division competition zones selected, there is actually someone who can have a showdown with him?”
“Heh heh, you just see later on!”
The competition had yet to begin, but the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s First Elder brimmed with confidence toward the competition this time.
Chapter 793 - Two Consecutive Wins!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the holy land camp’s side, Wu Jiantong and another genius were currently whispering to each other.
“Wu Xi, you’re facing Ye Yuan in your third match today. Deal a vicious blow for me and punish this brat properly! Although the competition forbids killing, crippling him and making him withdraw from the competition of his own accord are not a problem!” Wu Jiantong said coldly.
This Wu Xi was another contestant on the holy land’s side. Similarly Ninth Level Boundless, he was the closest with Wu Jiantong.
Speaking of this, iit was coincidental too; a total of three rounds of competition was held today, and Ye Yuan’s opponent in the third round was this Wu Xi.
So Wu Jiantong went to find him before the competition even started.
The six contestants taking part in the competition on the holy land’s side were all Ninth Level Boundless. Their strength swept away the other division competition zones.
Ye City’s side, in contrast, the line up looked rather pitiful.
Yang Wenmiao, who had the highest cultivation realm, was also merely just Eighth Level Boundless. As for Ye Yuan, he was just Eighth Level Divine Traversing.
This kind of strength was completely too inferior to show in public in many people’s view.
Wu Xi’s eyebrows jumped, and he laughed in spite of himself as he said, “That Divine Traversing Realm brat? You passed by that Starmoon Sword by a narrow margin all thanks to that brat, right? Huhu, this boy also doesn’t have any eyesight, to actually dare offend Brother Jiantong.”
Wu Jiantong’s face turned black, and he said, “Stop talking about such useless stuff. Are you helping this favor or not? After the deed is done, I’ll gift you a Spirit Enlightening Pill!”
Wu Xi was stunned, then was immediately pleasantly surprised as he said, “Brother Jiantong is
putting in blood capital this time! Alright then, since Brother Jiantong already said it like this, I’ll naturally accept deferentially than to decline courteously!”
Boundless Realm breaking through to Heaven Enlightenment Realm was likewise an extremely hard to cross threshold.
This was a kind of qualitative leap from the Middle Three Realms to the Upper Three Realms.
The Upper Three Realms focused more on comprehension towards the Dao. It had exceedingly high requirements towards a martial artist’s own talent.
After reaching the Upper Three Realms, each step that a martial artist advanced would also become even harder to stride forward.
This Spirit Enlightening Pill was precisely a miracle panacea to help martial artists break through the Middle Three Realms bottleneck and reach the Heaven Enlightenment Realm.
This Spirit Enlightening Pill’s benefit was somewhat different from the other medicinal pills.
Martial artists lacking in talent could break through the threshold of Heaven Enlightenment Realm through consuming Spirit Enlightening Pills many times to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.
But this Spirit Enlightening Pill, even to the holy land’s various major families, it was an extremely rare item too, and not obtainable at will.
Even though it was only a Tier 6 medicinal pill, the degree of its scarcity was not much lower than the Flying Crane Profound Torrential Pill which Pei Wenqiang obtained previously.
Therefore, in order to thorough cripple Ye Yuan this time, Wu Jiantong had indeed poured in blood capital.
…
The competition commenced. The opponent for Ye Yuan’s first match was an Eighth Level Boundless hailing from the mapleforest competition zone.
Running into a Divine Traversing Realm like Ye Yuan in the first match, that Eighth Level Boundless was naturally thrilled in his heart.
“Looks like the competition this time, my luck is pretty good running into you, the sole Divine Traversing Realm in the first match, giving me an auspicious start!” after going up to the stage, that Eighth Level Boundless said with a loud laugh.
