Chapter 133 The Super Auction (3k)

Sha Xiao stood before the magnificent palace, which resembled a city within a city, and began to scrutinize it with a gloomy expression.

Upon closer inspection, the city bricks of this magnificent palace are extraordinary. They were made by mixing the essence of refined gold and black iron, using the energy of the dragon vein to cleanse them for hundreds of years, and constantly being nourished by the light of the sun and moon.

Each brick here has detailed records and engravings, making them worthy of being called gold bricks.

Leaving aside the rare treasures inside, each of these bricks contains the weight of mountains and rivers and the brilliance of the sun and moon, enough to endure endless years without decay. Each brick alone could be regarded as a spiritual treasure by a dragon-transforming cultivator in a small place.

The gate opens to the inside on both sides. It is entirely black and made of an unknown material. It gleams with a faint metallic luster and is surrounded by dragon energy.

That was the true aura of the dragon vein, surging from the depths of the earth's veins, and was brought here by an unparalleled figure, adding to the splendor of this magnificent palace.

It can also continuously refine this divine city, making its power increase day by day.

Once closed, it has the effect of sealing off heaven and earth, and even a fully accomplished king cannot break it for a short time.

Sha Xiao looked at the city gate and a smile appeared on her face.

"Good, good, good. Closing the door makes it easier to catch the dogs, and we don't have to worry about the rabbits running too fast to catch them."

Sha Xiao murmured to herself, her gaze sweeping over the crowd in front of the city gate, her ears twitching as she quickly gathered information about her target.

At the city gate, only top-tier figures at the level of a Great Accomplishment King are allowed to remain seated in their vehicles.

Even emperors, grandsons, and holy masters of holy lands must dismount their carriages and walk in at the gate.

Today, it has attracted the attention of many important figures, some dressed in dragon robes and others wearing Taoist crowns. They are all local tyrants, and they have all come for that green snake.

Ordinary cultivators may not know this, but they have their own channels of information.

As far as they knew, this little snake was very likely related to the missing Demon Emperor's Holy Son from the Eastern Wilderness.

Right now, all the major sects and dynasties have their eyes drawn to the Eastern Wilderness by the precious treasures left behind by that Demon Emperor's Holy Son. If it weren't for this news, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to open the gate to the realm.

At the entrance of the palace, a thin layer of smoke, as white as gauze, swirled around. This was the smoke mixed with dragon energy, a unique skill of the Divine Continent Dynasty, capable of accurately discerning a cultivator's cultivation level.

As each person walks by, several strands will become entangled with them, and participants can take them with them when they leave.

Putting everything else aside, this wisp of smoke alone would be a treasure even for a Dragon Transformation cultivator in dire straits.

Many impoverished independent cultivators rely on constantly participating in the Imperial Auctions to take advantage of these small perks for their cultivation.

However, these great dynasties did not care, because super auctions with emperors everywhere like today were rare.

During the off-season, they still have to rely on those junior cultivators to maintain appearances, which is also to continue refining this treasure palace.

Depending on the amount of swirling smoke, different cultivators will lead you to different auction venues.

A holy lord, a king-level figure who can swirl seven or eight plumes of smoke, would be picked up by a special person using auspicious clouds and flown over the heads of countless lesser cultivators to the floating palace high in the sky.

Even slightly less powerful Sendai cultivators could ride on dragon horses arranged by the dynasty, traveling unimpeded along a dedicated straight road to the top floors of the tallest buildings to wait for the dragon-transforming cultivators. The latter, on the other hand, had to wait at the entrance until the important figures had all left before being guided to a slightly lower-level restaurant to sit down.

As for the cultivators from the Four Extremes who wanted to join in the fun, they could only sit in the houses on the outskirts.

This is the Shenzhou Dynasty's own ranking system, which is strictly hierarchical.

Therefore, they were the most arrogant within the dynasty, but also the least likely to leave the dynasty.

Sha Xiao waited patiently in line until all the important figures had gone inside, the gate slowly closed, and the barrier was raised before finally joining the last wave of onlookers.

As soon as they entered, the crowd stirred and rushed towards Sha Xiao like madmen.

Forced to quickly activate the Blinding Immortal Gu, Sha Xiao suppressed his aura again and again so as not to be directly exposed, and slipped into the area where the dragon was located.

Sitting upright in the restaurant, Sha Xiao looked around at the interior decorations of the magnificent palace and nodded thoughtfully.

Even the pillars of the houses here are made of precious spiritual wood from heaven and earth—an evergreen tree that has stood for ten thousand years.

It is a strange tree that concentrates all spiritual energy in its trunk, growing only the trunk and not the cultivation level. It grows the fastest in the first hundred years, growing a hundred meters a day. But after it grows to tens of miles, it will attract lightning and be struck down to only a few meters tall.

This process is repeated until the trees grow to over ten thousand years old, at which point they can almost be called imperial timber.

It is said that the imperial weapon of the Great Emperor of China was made from this divine material.

Almost all the houses here are built using this kind of wood and precious materials such as star soil.

"Wow, this house is really extravagant!"

Looking at the layout of the entire divine city, Sha Xiao could vaguely sense an aura similar to that of the Void Emperor's array patterns, and his face became serious.

He carefully examined every inch of the pillar and discovered that the interwoven wood grain had automatically generated subtle mythical beast patterns.

Furthermore, some mythical beast carvings were deliberately engraved on the surface, one yin and one yang, both real and fake, giving the impression of a dragon lurking in the abyss, waiting for the day when it will be brought to life. This is the essence of ornate carvings.

"That's quite a grand gesture!"

Sha Xiao looked at the small divine city and let out a long breath.

He didn't look closely at first and didn't even notice it.

This little divine city was definitely not built haphazardly!

The person who created it could be a quasi-Ninth Emperor's Son, or even the Great Emperor of Shenzhou himself. At the very least, it could be someone who is a blood relative of the Great Emperor of Shenzhou, has met him, and has witnessed the flawless imperial formation.

This is no auction market; it's clearly a half-finished imperial weapon being tempered.

All the patterns here are connected together, forming a flawed imperial formation that is constantly growing and evolving towards a flawless imperial formation.

"Eight dragons gather, a million miles of popularity, and ten thousand years of precious light, all to support one house. What a clever scheme!"

Sha Xiao took a sip of tea to moisten her somewhat dry throat.

He had completely understood that the reason why Xiba City could maintain its dragon aura and stand tall in the Central Plains for 100,000 years was probably largely due to this building.

He had refined the Five-Colored Gu, so he understood better what was happening here.

They are using the popularity and precious energy of countless auctions over tens of thousands of years to cleanse this city, attempting to use time and manpower to forge an imperial weapon and replicate the miracle of the Yao Guang Holy Land.

However, as time went by, this matter was probably forgotten by people within the dynasty, which gave Sha Xiao the opportunity to see the truth.

If it were here, it might actually be able to suppress Xiaoqing. Luckily, I didn't leave immediately.

"Hehe, what a pity, time is like a journey, once gone, it never returns."

"The descendants have forgotten how to activate this super array, otherwise I would turn around and leave now, and never come back until I retrieve the imperial weapon."

Sha Xiao looked at the chattering, excited crowd eagerly anticipating the start of the auction and gave a cold laugh.

"A small medicinal herb, eight thousand years old, with a starting price of 150,000 jin of raw material."

The auction has begun, and today's event is indeed a grand affair, with the most anticipated items being treasures related to longevity.

"151,000 jin of raw materials."

"160,000 jin of raw materials."

In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere at the auction became lively.

The countless emperors sitting above excitedly shouted out the prices.

Even among people of their status, very few have ever taken the Little Medicine King's medicine. To have it in one's hands is like taking half of one's life.

Sha Xiao flipped his right hand and released the colorful Immortal Gu. He leisurely sipped his tea, listening quietly to the voices of the emperors above who were bidding, without rushing to make a move.

"440,000 jin of raw materials."

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and Sha Xiao raised his eyelids, activating the Five-Turn Sound Listening Gu, a killing move centered on the Five-Turn Sound Listening Gu, which was used to locate the source of the sound.

In an instant, he stripped away the numerous restrictions imposed by the upper VIP rooms to protect the privacy of important figures and accurately located the source of the sound.

"Oh? Number 37? Heh, a mere Holy Lord sneaking into the King's Room, is this your reward from the Divine Continent Dynasty?"

'

Sha Xiao gave a cold snort, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of protective smoke and restrictions, staring directly at the obese old man inside who was chatting happily with an imposing middle-aged man from the Divine Continent Dynasty.

That was none other than Xiao Hongchen, the current head of the Red Dust Pavilion who was rumored to have helped save the young prince of the Divine Continent Dynasty—an old monster who was nearly 2,400 years old and on the verge of death.

"boom--"

Sha Xiao put down her teacup and stepped out of the restaurant. An aura of demonic power, as heavy as a mountain, pressed down on everyone's hearts, rendering them instantly immobile.

"Great, since you're all here, it saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one."

As Sha Xiao spoke, he spread his five fingers, and the Five-Turn Revenge Gu and the Five-Turn Beast Power Gu shone brightly. The Five-Turn Killing Move, Vengeance, was activated.

A faint red line appeared between Sha Xiao and the current master of the Red Dust Pavilion. He pulled open the door to the Heavenly Pavilion with a seemingly slow but actually fast motion.

"Clang—!"

The seemingly indestructible restriction was instantly reduced to dust. The current head of the Red Dust Pavilion was dragged out like a dog, his neck tightly bound by red threads.

"You're the one chasing after my Xiaoqing, aren't you?"

Sha Xiao held the red thread in one hand and stomped on the face of the dignified second-level immortal, shattering his teeth, filling his mouth with blood, tilting his skull, and making his eyes bulge out like a dying goldfish, making him look like a dead dog.

"boom"""

"Who is that?"

In an instant, the entire venue erupted in a mix of fear and excitement.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! I was just sitting next to this big shot!"

A cultivator who had transformed into a dragon stared at the shattered railing and shouted frantically.

"Fellow Daoist, this place is under the protection of our Divine Dynasty. If you have any grievances, please settle them outside."

The auctioneer, with large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, spoke as calmly and gently as possible.

They were terrified of offending this peerless powerhouse, no, this ancient sage, whose mere aura could suffocate everyone!
