Within a billion, it was all worth it.

Jian Wushuang wasnt in a hurry to bid. He hadnt antic.i.p.ated such fierce compet.i.tion, but fortunately, he had plenty of G.o.dstones.

Once the price reached eight billion, the voices became spa.r.s.e. Each subsequent bid increased by around 20 million. 1 billion! Jian Wushuang made his bid.

A bold move!

As expected, the clamor of compet.i.tion diminished. Just as Nalan Ci was about to declare the winner, a voice echoed in the hall.

1.8 billion!

Jian Wushuang furrowed his brows, nearly letting out a curse.

An eight-billion increase in a single bidthat was a substantial amount of G.o.dstones!

Moreover, the bidder was among the strong figures in the hall. The strongest in the hall was only a tier 4 Emperor. Did he really have that much money?

Jian Wushuangs voice deepened. Someone!

Shortly after, an elderly man arrived, an Emperor from the Heavenly Court.

l want to verify the opponents bid!

Upon hearing this, the old man revealed a faint smile and said, Esteemed Friend, you can rest a.s.sured. If the other party can state the price, they can afford it; otherwise, theyll have to disappear!

Humph! What if I raise the bid, and the other party doesnt follow? Id end up wasting a billion G.o.dstones for nothing? Jian Wushuang felt like he was being played.

If he didnt need it urgently, he would have loved to see how the other party would handle this. However, he had to secure this formation.

He had no choice but to follow through.

The old man understood Jian Wushuangs concern and conveyed the message,

Not long after, the Emperor who made the bid in the hall handed a treasure to the Heavenly Court representative. With just a glance, the Heavenly Court figure provided a clear response.

Bid confirmed!

Upon hearing this answer, Jian Wushuangs face was full of resentment.

1.8 billion and 1 million!

No matter how much the other party bids, Ill add a million G.o.dstones more! Since they were at odds, Jian Wushuang wanted to see just how much money the other party had.

At the same time, he instructed Bai Junw.a.n.g to mobilize Heavenly Court personnel to investigate the ident.i.ty of the Emperor in the hall.

Though there were no central figures in the Heavenly Court, it shouldnt be difficult to find out the ident.i.ty of an Emperor sitting in the hall.

No, the people from the Kui Organization are not in the core, and all ident.i.ty information is controlled in the core. Perhaps only Nalan Ci knows the ident.i.ty of that person. Bai Junw.a.n.g shared the gathered information.

Jian Wushuang had no choice but to increase the bid.

He added a million, and the other party added 500,000 . This pattern continued!

Although the increase per bid was smaller, the number of bids was high!

Soon, it reached 2 billion.

3 billion!

Jian Wushuang stood up, staring at the Emperor in the hall.

In a secluded throne in the hall, the mysterious Emperor who made the bid revealed a cold smile and loudly declared, Since youre so eager, Ill give it to you!

After saying this, he pressed his hand down, indicating that he wouldnt bid any further.

Jian Wushuang was fuming in the VIP room.

In the hall, voices gradually rose.

Though curious, no one spoke much, unsure of the bidders ident.i.ty.

Some powerful individuals disguised their strength, a common occurrence in such gatherings.

However, playing with so many G.o.dstones was unusual.

Several tens of billions of G.o.dstones even a tier 5 Emperor wouldnt play around with them so casually!

After obtaining the formation, Jian Wushuang felt it was nothing special. 3 billion!

He ignored the subsequent formations, as comprehending them required a lower level of skill.

After calming down, he felt increasingly regretful.

It was simply a lack of strength. If he had Bai Junw.a.n.gs power, he would have confronted and defeated the person.

The auction had lasted a month for just the first half, with tens of thousands of treasures auctioned. The pace was relatively fast due to some overlapping items; otherwise, it would have taken half a year.

After the first half, ten special treasures would be auctioned.

Throughout the first half, Jian Wushuang spent over 5 billion G.o.dstones.

He nearly gathered all the treasures needed for the Extreme Dao origin source, buying them while simultaneously absorbing and refining. He also practiced the Heavenly Demons profound techniques, managing his time judiciously without wasting a moment.

Hmm? Bai Junw.a.n.g on the origin source pillar felt a stir in his heart, his gaze penetrating through.

He looked toward the auction hall.

A familiar sensation!

Something that Bai Junw.a.n.g found familiar was, at least, a relic from ancient times.

Jian Wushuang also became curious and asked, What is it?

Its the aura, a very familiar aura, similar to your Sword Qi! Bai Junw.a.n.g stared at the ten special treasures in the hall.

Is it the Jade Qilin?

The Yan-Transforming Divine Rod?

The Heavenly Oracle Codex?

Its that rod! Bai Junw.a.n.g pointed to the Yan-Transforming Divine Rod.

Jian Wushuang became even more puzzled. How could a rod be similar to his Sword Qi?

Look at the patterns on it! Bai Junw.a.n.g reminded.

Jian Wushuang followed his gaze, and his eyes narrowed. The Yan-Transforming Divine Rod seemed to be right in front of him, and the patterns on it were clearly visible. What is this?

These dont seem like patterns!

Bai Junw.a.n.g also discerned something hidden within and revealed a look of fear.

Sword Intent, similar to the Sword Intent on the surface of Qiuhuang City. It should be left behind by Emperor Jueyun! Jian Wushuang nodded, recognizing it.

He had some connection with Emperor Jueyun and had once received teachings from him.

Seeing Bai Junw.a.n.gs fear, Jian Wushuang sighed and said, Hes already a bygone friend; theres no need to be afraid!

You dont understand, the terror of Emperor Jueyun. You simply dont comprehend. Youre the heir of the Qishen Temple, of course, youre not afraid. Bai Junw.a.n.g sat back on the pillar of the origin source, crossing his hands, showing a deep apprehension.

Soon, someone made a bid.

These ten treasures were all extraordinary, and their starting prices were naturally exorbitant.

Soon, they all soared to several billion.

One of them even exceeded the historical bid that Jian Wushuang had previously set.

It directly shot up to 5 billion.

It was a contest among tier 5 Emperors, and no one else could intervene, In the adjacent VIP room, Hu Qing stood by the window with Jiang Shang.

4 billion, Spirit of Gra.s.s and Wood!

Hu Qing slowly stated the price.

Jiang Shang, currently just an ordinary mortal cultivator, had no idea what a G.o.dstone was, and he had no concept of Hu Qings offer.

Master, what is the use of this Spirit of Gra.s.s and Wood? I cant see anything special about it, while other treasures seem more discernible! Jiang Shang was somewhat puzzled.

Hu Qing smiled faintly and answered gently, Its precisely because you cant see that I want to buy it.

After bringing Jiang Shang here, he discovered that the latter could actually see through the essence of those treasures, which surprised him.

An ordinary mortal cultivator with such discerning eyes.

If this were known to others, the entire realm would probably shake, and he also found that Jiang Shangs const.i.tution was fundamentally different from the Four Great Secret Realms and even the external world. It seemed more like a Special Life Form.

Lowering his head, he looked into Jiang Shangs eyes, where it seemed as if a vast starry sea resided..
