Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie returned to the Qin King's Mansion to check on Qin Keqing.

She was still fast asleep, not yet awake.

He didn't disturb her and went to Jinse's place.

He guessed that his senior sister had seen everything that happened outside the city.

He arrived in Jinse's room and had just sat down when he saw a slightly grave expression on her face.

"Senior sister, is something on your mind?"

Jun Wuxie wasn't sure what was causing her expression.

"Tonight, I saw you following the imperial barge out of the city.

That imperial barge, is that your little brother-in-law?"

"Yes, he is Yinlan's younger brother, Ji Beilan, and he's in some trouble now."

"It's more than just some trouble."

Jinse gently shook her head, "He used to be the Child of Destiny. Although he left his original world, the luck on his body still exists.

For such a person to have his fate controlled and unable to break free, one can imagine how terrifying the opponent is."

"Indeed, that man in white has impressive methods and should be hiding many secrets."

Jun Wuxie agreed with Jinse's words.

Who was Ji Beilan? A top figure among the Kings of Heaven's Pride, blessed with the luck of the Heavenly Dao.

When he came to the Mixed Yuan Great World, he was already at the Chaos Realm. Among his generation of cultivators, such a realm was already considered very high.

He was also a candidate for the Divine Son of the Fallen Immortal Dao Earth, backed by a top-tier Dao lineage.

Even so, he had fallen into a quagmire, unable to extricate himself, and was trapped.

"While you were secretly observing the man in white, I was also observing him.

I couldn't obtain any information from him; I couldn't see through him.

There was an aura surpassing the Great Emperor Realm within his body, shielding my divine sense perception.

This person is extraordinary. What we currently understand is only superficial. We know nothing about how many secrets lie behind him.

Also, I find that man in white a bit strange. I suspect he might not be his true self.

But I can't be sure because I can't see through him.

Therefore, you must be extremely vigilant of this person in the future and not be careless.

Although he can't pose too much of a threat to you,

you'll still be a bit passive if you don't use the power of your previous life.

Wouldn't it damage your prestige as the Divine Lord Jun if you suffered a loss at his hands?"

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but laugh when he heard her say this.

"Senior sister, you're overthinking it. Even if I suffer a little loss, as long as it doesn't affect others, I don't care.

There's no such thing as prestige or lack thereof.

In this life, when competing with others, if the power of my previous life doesn't intervene, it's difficult to guarantee that I'll always have the upper hand.

After all, I can't guarantee that the opponents I encounter will all be at realms not too different from mine.

Some opponents may be at realms that are too high, inevitably leading to a passive situation. I don't care about suffering a small loss.

Just like that day in Xiaye County, if Ruoying's bloodline hadn't awakened within the time limit, I would have had no choice but to lead everyone out of the city.

I used the World Domain to withstand the siege of the Initial Beginning Realm experts, and my physical body suffered an impact, which could be considered a loss."

Jun Wuxie didn't have any obsession with this.

Of course, he would try his best to win at any time, but if he really encountered something he couldn't win, and he had to choose to temporarily avoid it, he wouldn't have any psychological burden.

He wouldn't use the power of his previous life to break through obstacles because of this, and he needed to ensure the perfection of this life's Dao Fruit as much as possible.

If he couldn't bear even one failure, his Dao Heart would be too fragile.

However, there are many cultivators in this world who are too proud in their bones and develop obsessions during the cultivation process.

Once this obsession is broken through, their Dao Heart will suffer a violent impact, leaving a psychological shadow.

One failure will become a heart demon on their cultivation path, affecting their state of mind, stagnating their enlightenment, and becoming a shackle hindering their progress.

"That doesn't count as a loss."

Jinse glared at him, "Don't I understand you? Would you have done that if you didn't have absolute certainty?

If you weren't 100% sure, you would have made other preparations before going to Xiaye County."

"Since senior sister knows that I prepare everything in advance and have means to control the situation before doing anything, what is there to worry about?"

"But sometimes, you may not have the certainty to absolutely control the situation.

After all, not everything has enough preparation time. What if it's too urgent and there's no time to prepare?"

"Alright, are you afraid that I'll suffer even half a loss now?

You know my past and present lives clearly. Unless those ultimate transcendents take action,

otherwise, no matter who comes, they can't threaten my life."

"I never said it would threaten your life. I was talking about..."

"Alright."

Jun Wuxie covered Jinse's charming red lips with his finger, "You're just worried and confused. Cultivators are fighting all their lives, and nothing is surprising no matter what they experience.

You are a female emperor; you should understand this.

Don't let me disrupt your state of mind.

In the future, what we have to face will be far more cruel and difficult than what you're worried about.

What will we do then? Will senior sister hug me and cry, begging me not to go, and then I'll take you all and hide?"

"Wouldn't that be good?

The person controlling Ji Beilan is very likely a reincarnation of a strong person, possessing an imperial weapon left over from their previous life.

What I'm worried about is that he doesn't seek to fuse two perfect Dao Fruits like you do.

Therefore, he won't have any scruples. Even if he doesn't use the Dao Fruit from his previous life, just using the things left over from his previous life will be extremely difficult to deal with.

Unless you promise me that if I take action to help you at a critical moment, you must not stop me!"

"Alright, I promise you."

Jun Wuxie was very helpless. If he didn't agree, this topic wouldn't end. He had no doubt that she could talk to him until dawn.

...

The next morning, Jun Wuxie was already waiting in the courtyard early.

Qin Keqing woke up very early.

When she woke up and saw the familiar furnishings in the room, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Wasn't she in Xuanxiao Residence? How could she be in her own room?

She got out of bed, dressed neatly, and after dressing up, she pushed open the door and saw Lord Jun sitting in the courtyard.

The chief guard of the Eldest Princess was also there, talking to Lord Jun about something.

When Qin Keqing walked over, the chief guard turned around, looked at her, and bowed.

"Young Master, Princess, this subordinate will take his leave first."

The chief guard left, and Qin Keqing saw a card in Jun Wuxie's hand, "Did the Eldest Princess send this?"

"Yes, this is the funding she provided for today's auction. She didn't say how much there is.

When we arrive at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, have someone check it out."

Qin Keqing's expression was a little excited, "For so many years, my royal father has fought against the enemy with injuries. As his daughter, I have no way to help him, and I can't solve my royal father's Dao injuries.

Now, I can finally solve this problem..."

As she spoke, she looked at Jun Wuxie, her eyes filled with gratitude.

His arrival had changed her and the Qin King's Mansion's fate, and also changed her royal father's fate.

Otherwise, as time went on, her royal father's injuries would become more and more serious, and with Liang Huang's schemes, the Qin King's Mansion would gradually become difficult and head towards the abyss.

At this moment, Jinse also came to the courtyard.

Qin Keqing didn't say much. The three of them left the mansion side by side and headed towards the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

This morning, the streets leading to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion were much more bustling than usual.

Pedestrians hurried along the streets.

This auction at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion had attracted many cultivators from other places.

Many people were there for the fifth-grade Hongmeng Breakthrough Pill.

Fifth-grade resources were for cultivators in the Chaotic Realm.

Normally, the upper limit of a fifth-grade immortal pill was also the Chaotic Realm.

However, the fifth-grade immortal pill being auctioned this time was very special; it was actually a masterpiece among fifth-grade pills, the most top-tier pill in its grade, something that could only be encountered by chance.

Alchemists had difficulty producing masterpieces; it depended on luck and required opportunity to create one.

Even if the alchemist's own realm was very high, refining low-grade pills would not increase the chances of producing a masterpiece.

A masterpiece immortal pill could be said to belong to the transcendent category within immortal pills, so how could it not drive people crazy?

Different types of masterpiece immortal pills had different effects, but no matter the effect, they were incomparable to other similar immortal pills.

Today's auction was for an immortal pill with a breakthrough effect.

In this era full of opportunities, leading in realm would occupy a huge advantage.

Arriving in front of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, the originally empty plaza was filled with figures, and a long queue was forming in front of the wide gate, with people entering in an orderly manner.

Jun Wuxie and the others also obediently lined up.

He didn't want to act special, or he would definitely arouse suspicion.

The waiting time wasn't long; after a cup of tea's worth of time, it was their turn.

After entering the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, a steward came forward and led them through other paths, disappearing into the hall.

They arrived at the inner pavilion area of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, where they met An Yunshu in the courtyard.

She personally accompanied them, leading Jun Wuxie and the others into the auction building.

"What room is arranged for today? Is it Heaven Number One?"

"The one Yunshu arranged for Lord Jun is indeed Heaven Number One.

Lord Jun, is there something wrong?"

"That's not the case; Heaven Number One is fine, perhaps it can save a lot of auction funds."

Jun Wuxie smiled faintly.

With Heaven Number One bidding, it was estimated that many bidders would give up.

At that time, Emperor Liang would have a certain chance of not fighting to the end.

After all, Emperor Liang didn't know that the person inside Heaven Number One was his Yuan Chu, and it was impossible to connect Heaven Number One with the Qin King's Mansion.

But it was hard to say, after all, Emperor Liang now had the Soul Hunting Immortal Palace backing him, and he had much less awe and fear in his heart.

"Which room is Emperor Liang in?"

"Heaven Number Six; the royal family drew this room at the time."

An Yunshu explained.

"Is Liang Buqun the only member of the royal family participating in today's auction, or did other royal family members book other rooms?"

"No, the Great Liang royal family only has Heaven Number Six.

At this time, Liang Buqun was already waiting in the room."

"Well, has the auction order been arranged?"

"It's all set."

"Alright, let's just wait."

Jun Wuxie sat down on the soft chair.

Not long after, the deputy chief steward of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion arrived, holding a tray in his hand with a pot of fine wine and several cups on it.

The wine pot was made of glazed immortal jade, crystal clear and very luxurious.

The fine wine inside shimmered with faint colorful immortal light, and at first glance, it looked like divine nectar and jade liquid.

In fact, this kind of fine wine could indeed be regarded as divine nectar and jade liquid.

This was fine wine that An Yunshu had specially selected from the Heavenly Court.

However, because Qin Keqing was present, she did not choose the highest-grade wine from the Heavenly Court.

Otherwise, with her realm and body, she would not be able to withstand it at all; after one sip, who knows what state of intoxication she would fall into.

"Yunshu, have someone check how many Heavenly Dao Coins are in here."

Jun Wuxie took out a card from the Heavenly Dao Bank from his bosom.

An Yunshu took a look and couldn't help but say, "This is the Supreme Card specially issued by the Heavenly Dao Bank; you need to have a deposit of at least 100 billion in the Heavenly Dao Bank to be eligible to apply for the Supreme Card."

She immediately called someone to take the Supreme Heavenly Dao Card to inquire.

Not long after, the deputy chief steward returned with the Supreme Heavenly Dao Card.

She said that there were a full 500 billion Heavenly Dao Coins in this card.

This number startled Qin Keqing.

The Princess's handwriting was too big; she directly gave 500 billion?

Although her financial resources were amazing, this 500 billion was probably more than half of her savings over the years.

Jun Wuxie was also a little surprised; he didn't expect that Liang Wan'er would take out so much money.

Five hundred billion was exactly the amount she had promised to lend to Emperor Liang.

She had given him all that she had promised to give to Emperor Liang.

However, it was only to bid for the immortal treasure to treat the Qin King's Dao wounds; although it was extremely expensive, it would not cost nearly 500 billion.

If it weren't for Liang Buqun's malicious bidding, with the Qin King's Mansion's accumulated funds over the years, they should be able to win it.

However, Liang Buqun was determined not to let the Qin King recover.

Over the years, Liang Buqun had spent an unknown amount of money on this matter.

Those immortal treasures that he had maliciously bid for should have been sold to other places by him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have sought to see the manager of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion in the middle of the night.

With his love for the Sixth Prince, even if using high-grade immortal treasures on the Sixth Prince was very wasteful, he would not hesitate.

"Everyone, welcome to participate in today's auction at our Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

Here, I would like to wish everyone to bid for the resources they desire."

… …

The auction began, and inside the room, a rune light curtain appeared on the wall, projecting the scene of the auction hall onto it.

Today's auction was hosted by the steward of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.

The management of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion had several levels; the most basic manager was the steward, then the manager, then the deputy chief steward, and the highest manager was the chief steward.

The auction was usually hosted by a steward or a manager.

Most of the time it was a steward, and a small part of the time it was a manager.

The originally somewhat noisy venue suddenly quieted down at the moment when the voice of the manager hosting the auction rang out.

"I believe that everyone has already understood the various immortal treasures that our Immortal Treasure Pavilion has put up for auction today through the auction preview.

Here, this manager will not say much more.

This manager knows that there are many people present today who are here for the masterpiece Hongmeng Breakthrough Pill.

Therefore, we have arranged for the masterpiece Hongmeng Breakthrough Pill to be in the first round of bidding.

Now, please everyone take a look at the masterpiece aura of the masterpiece Hongmeng Breakthrough Pill.

After the pill returns to the box, those who are interested in the Hongmeng Breakthrough Pill can start bidding."

After the hosting manager finished speaking, above the auction venue, the void trembled slightly, presenting a rune diagram.

In the middle of that rune diagram, an antique box fell down, falling into the middle of the venue, suspended there.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the box at this moment.

Regardless of whether they needed the Hongmeng Breakthrough Pill or not, they were attracted.

A masterpiece immortal pill.

How many cultivators in the world would not have the opportunity to see transcendent quality pills in their lifetime?

What does a masterpiece pill look like, what kind of aura does it have? Except for a very small number of people present, the rest had never seen it before.
