From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

The five women also reached the level of Thousand Tribulations Immortal Lord, but the road ahead will not be so easy.

It takes a very long time to accumulate the foundation.

Before he was promoted to the immortal path, there were many secret realms in the Ziwei World that could distort time and space to a certain extent.

But such a secret realm could not possibly have any effect on immortals. In fact, once an immortal stepped into it, the secret realm would instantly collapse because it could not withstand the immortal's laws of immortality.

Therefore, although she cannot use this divine stone of eternity, it is very useful to Ye Ruoshui and the other five women.

Immediately, Xiao Minghuang offered a price: "Three thousand one hundred immortal crystals!"

"Three thousand two hundred immortal crystals!"

"Four thousand immortal crystals!"

"Four thousand three hundred immortal crystals!"

After Xiao Minghuang made the offer, more immortals raised the price, causing the price to soar rapidly and soon broke through the four thousand mark.

"Five thousand immortal crystals!"

Finally, an Immortal King called out an astonishing price.

“Daoyou Ziwei, although this Eternal Time Divine Stone is precious, it is not worth five thousand immortal crystals at all. If Daoyou wants such a treasure, I have one with a similar effect that I can sell to you at a fair price.”

The Immortal King Lifeng persuaded.

"What you said makes sense... We will discuss this matter after the auction."

Xiao Minghuang nodded.

Finally, the Eternal Stone was bought by an Immortal King at a high price of five thousand Immortal Crystals.

Soon, the auction entered a white-hot stage, and most of the items were taken. According to the auction process, there are only three items left.

"The remaining three lots can be said to be the finale of this auction. Everyone can look forward to it."

Elder Zhao said with a smile.

"Don't keep us in suspense. Everyone knows that this auction will feature the latest achievement of the Dao Research Institute, the Star Attraction Technique. Everyone is here for this, so hurry up!"

An Immortal King who was not very steady shouted loudly.

"You are right, fellow Daoist. However, the Dao Research Institute commissioned the Galaxy Merchant Alliance to auction this astrology technique, and they asked that it be the last item to be auctioned, so I ask you to be a little patient."

"Okay, the third to last lot."

The words fell.

A strange rune suddenly appeared above the light curtain. The strokes were not complicated, but they were mysterious and strange, as if it contained infinite truths, fascinating and unforgettable.

Elder Zhao introduced: "This is an ancient character of origin. According to the appraisal of the Fairy King Guest of the Merchant Alliance, this should represent the ancestor of all 'bow' shaped objects in the world."

"In other words, this is the ancient character for 'bow'."

"In addition to the ancient Chinese character for 'bow', the auctioneer also gave away a matching imperial calligraphy technique."

"Starting price: 10,000 Immortal Crystals!"

Upon hearing this, all the immortals present were in an uproar.

"The ancient characters of origin and the matching character control technique?!"

“This is so rare!”

"To be honest, I feel like 10,000 Immortal Crystals is a steal!"

"Haha, if you don't want to buy it, don't comment. Why don't you take out 10,000 immortal crystals and see?"

"I feel that the transaction price of the Ancient Bow should be between 30,000 and 40,000 Immortal Crystals..."

"I'm not saying anything, what is the origin of this ancient word for bow? Why are you all so shocked?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, where did this country bumpkin come from? He doesn't even know this..."

"Do you have any manners? What's wrong with me asking you a question?"

"It's hard to hold. Are you anxious now?"

"Don't be so arrogant. I'll make you regret it when you get out of here!"

"My two Taoist friends, please stop arguing. It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. I know a thing or two about the origin of this ancient word. Let me explain it to you, Taoist friend!"

"Haha, look at him, then look at yourself!"

"Redneck..."

"Stop, stop, stop, listen to me!"

"Fellow Daoist, just ignore him."

"Well... it is said that when chaos was about to separate but not yet separated, and the universe was about to open but not yet opened, it was what is generally called the Tai Chi era. In this era, living beings did not know the heaven and earth, did not know the Great Dao, and did not even know each other. Even though the Great Dao created all things, it seemed to have created independent islands. So the Great Dao evolved a second time, making everything in the world knowable."

"One day, a book appeared in the universe, containing 129,600 words. Each word was connected to all things in the world and gave them the true meaning of the great Dao. As a result, all living beings could understand the heavens, the earth, and all things, and thus understand the great Dao of the universe. From then on, the immortal Dao flourished."

"But as the immortal way continued to develop, the ancient characters that gave them meaning also weakened. Their true meanings intertwined with each other, and they were even gradually stripped of their original meanings by ignorant creatures, thus losing their own power. Or the things they represented were permanently destroyed, or no one could recognize their existence... In short, due to various reasons, the era when the origin ancient characters flourished has passed for who knows how many epochs."

"As you said, this ancient word of origin is nothing special, why is it sold at such a high price?"

"That is for some ancient characters that are no longer magical, but this ancient character for the bow, because the things it represents are always active, its true meaning remains the same, and therefore it is powerful."

"I see. Thank you for clearing up my confusion!"

"...I just don't know what this so-called word control technique means?"

"The art of controlling characters is very simple. It is a special magical power that targets a certain ancient character. It can maximize the power of this ancient character and gather the power of the things it represents to exert a more powerful force."

"Just simply understand that the word control technique can increase the power of ancient characters."

"Thank you very much, you are really knowledgeable!"

"hehe..."

"Unlike some people, who bite like dogs!"

"——You keep scolding me!"

"Why are you scolding me!"

"you wanna die..."

......

"Eighteen thousand immortal crystals!"

"Nineteen thousand!"

"Twenty-two thousand!"

The ancient character of "bow" really attracted the competition of countless immortals, including some veteran immortal kings who were powerful and wealthy and were determined to obtain it.

"Thirty thousand immortal crystals!"

At this moment, a cold female voice resounded throughout the venue, instantly making everyone quieter, and many people looked towards the source of the voice.

The voice came from a private room, and ordinary immortals could not know who was shouting.

But the Immortal Kings present could tell that the female voice shouting the price was also a genuine Immortal King!

"It's her..."

Among the Immortal Kings, someone recognized the person who was shouting.

"Ziwei Immortal King is the powerful man who once killed the Immortal King!"

"Forget it, I won't argue with you..."

Many of the Immortal Kings who participated in the competition recognized Xiao Minghuang's identity and knew her notorious reputation, so they stopped competing.

It is not worthwhile to offend a strong man who can kill the Immortal King for a treasure that is not that important.

Moreover, the most important thing about this auction is the fight for the Star Guiding Technique, which is related to whether one can occupy an advantageous position in the future development of the frontier. As for the ancient character of the bow, it is not important whether one has it or not.

Finally, the ancient character of bow fell into Xiao Minghuang's hands at the price of three thousand two thousand fairy crystals.

557. The Wheel of Time Tower

Elder Zhao sighed secretly. In his imagination, the ancient character of bow should be able to be auctioned for a high price of 40,000 immortal crystals, but because of the intervention of Ziwei Immortal King, everyone gave up the fight.

"it is good!"

"The second to last lot is a map."

Following Elder Zhao's introduction, a golden light shone on the auction table, illuminating a huge scroll.

The scroll stood suspended in the air, emitting a hazy glow and spreading an ancient aura.

Everyone looked solemn.

"This is a map of the outer space beyond the coverage of the Great Dao of the Universe. After preliminary identification by the Merchant Alliance, the map is undoubtedly authentic. Judging from the approximate age, the richness of the Great Dao laws, the level of the Great Dao laws and other factors, this should be about 5,000 epochs ago. An Immortal King once went deep into the outer space and recorded the locations and routes of at least hundreds of dead stars. He recorded his exploration results, but for some reason it was lost afterwards and finally ended up in the hands of the Merchant Alliance."

Elder Zhao smiled slightly: "To be honest, this map has been in the hands of the Merchant Alliance for more than 500 epochs. If it were at that time, I'm afraid it would not be worth even a single Immortal Crystal..."

"But the times change, and no one can really predict it..."

"Without further ado, the starting price is 20,000 Immortal Crystals!"

The words fell.

It immediately caused an uproar!

"Twenty thousand immortal crystals! Why don't you just go and rob them!"

“This price is too outrageous!”

"It's just a map, and it's a map outside the domain. What's the use of it?!"

"It was indeed useless before, but now the era of great pioneering has arrived. If we can get this map, we can take the lead in the pioneering movement and greatly expand the borders of the fairyland and star field... This is indeed useless to us, but it is very important to the fairy king."

"No... I still don't quite understand what the connection is between the map and the expansion of the fairyland's borders. Can we bring the dead star back to life and then pull it back into the fairyland?"

"you're right!"

"???"

"I don't know the details, but the latest star-attracting technique developed by the Dao Research Institute is to revive dead stars outside the domain, and then pull them back to the fairyland, and even reconstruct the order of the heavenly way. After that, whether it is direct immigration or direct creation of living beings, it is up to you..."

"This is amazing!"

"It's like this. The strength of the Immortal King is directly related to the overall strength of the Immortal Kingdom. At the level of the Immortal King, there is almost nothing in this world that can improve their cultivation. So instead of worrying about yourself, it is better to find a way to improve the overall strength of the Immortal Kingdom."

"I see, I've learned something new. Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

"You're welcome...Fairy, can we exchange talismans?"

"...Okay!"

In the box.

"Fellow Daoist Ziwei, if we can purchase this map, we will definitely be able to gain an advantage in the pioneering movement!"

Immortal King Li Feng said with a slightly excited look.

Xiao Minghuang shook his head and did not respond.

The Cosmic Avenue she calls does not require any map. Every star in the universe, whether it is covered by the Cosmic Avenue or a dead star in the deep space outside the domain, will respond to her call.

Therefore, she didn't need any maps.

"Ugh..."

The Immortal King Li Feng sighed lightly, but did not try to persuade him any further.

Finally, the map was bought by an Immortal King.

"Alright, everyone. It's finally time for the much-anticipated moment. The last item for the auction is also the one that everyone is most interested in - the Star Attraction Technique!"

Elder Zhao had just finished speaking.

A jade slip suddenly appeared above the light curtain.

This jade piece is the size of a baby's palm and is silvery-white in color. The surface is engraved with complex, obscure and mysterious runes, which flicker with tiny lights like stars. It is magnificent, brilliant and dazzling.

"Did you see it? The Star Attraction Technique is inside this silver-white jade slip."

Elder Zhao's tone was quite excited, his eyes were burning as he glanced at the people below the stage.
