God Emperor

Chapter 1830: Fragment of a Supreme Sacred Artifact

Seeing that the other party increasing the bid, Hua Cangying was elated, as he realized the importance of the Tears of the Void to the former.

“Four hundred million Saint Stones.” Hua Cangying raised the bid.

While The Tears of the Void were rare and not easy to collect, their usage was relatively single-purpose, and the price was not without limits.

In fact, 400 million Saint Stones had far exceeded the true value of thirty drops of Tears of the Void.

Seeing that the other party had not increased the price after a while, Hua Cangying panicked a little and was fearful that the 30 drops of Tears of the Void would fall into his hands.

Four hundred million Saint Stones was not a small sum. It would take his years of savings and sale of sacred artifacts as well as medicines for him to barely make that number.

So, Hua Cangying sneered and mocked, “You were too arrogant earlier, and I thought that you a deep background with wealth that could rival a country. How did 400 million Saint Stones stump you? If you can’t afford it, don’t come out to embarrass yourself.”

In the private room, a chilly expression appeared on Murong Yue’s face, and he said, “Your Highness, if you don’t have enough Saint Stones, I can transfer some from the Murong Clan.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “It’s not that I cannot afford it. It’s just not worth spending 400 million Saint Stones to buy them. Just know that even if Hua Cangying were to buy the Tears of the Void now, there will be opportunities in the future to take it back from him, with interest.”

“I don’t want them anymore. You can have it,” Zhang Ruochen said.

As he heard that, Hua Cangying’s heart fell, and he almost cursed.

What should he do now? Did he really have to sell all of his belongings to purchase the Tears of the Void?

If he had made a bid and then refuse to purchase it, he would undoubtedly offend the Tianjue Pavilion, and that mysterious pavilion master of Tianjue Pavilion was not any simple character.

In the end, Hua Cangying borrowed 200 million Saint Stones from Jueyan Hu and bought the third of Tears of the Void with an extremely dejected mood.

Hua Cangyang was a little skeptical, was the bid for the Tears of the Void a pit his opposition had dug for him, and they had simply waited for him to jump into it himself? The more he thought of it, the angrier he got.

He, Hua Cangying, was not a fool, yet today he had been toyed around and screwed over today many times over, and he was on the verge of breaking down.

“Have your fun now, once you leave Tianjue Pavilion, I’ll make sure neither life nor death will be easy for you.” Hua Cangying gritted his teeth as he thought of this in his heart.

In fact, Zhang Ruochen too was a little dejected himself, but he was much more sensible. He had suffered a loss in Tianjue Pavilion today, but he could take it back some time later.

“The next item on the block is possibly a fragment of a Supreme Sacred Artifact.”

As Zhang Ruochen was preparing to leave with Xiang Chunan, Murong Yue, and the rest, he heard that and decided to stay.

One needed to know, that the power of a Supreme Sacred Artifact was infinite, and even if it was just a fragment, it was also a rare treasure.

“Whoaaa!”

The cultivators within Tianjue Pavilion broke into rancor.

“Is it true? They would put up a piece of a Supreme Sacred Artifact on for sale?”

“If I can get my hands on a fragment of a Supreme Sacred Artifact, my combat strength will increase by many times over, and killing someone above my rank will not be too difficult from then on.”

“For a refiner, the fragment of a Supreme Sacred Artifact has great research value.”

...

The fragment was presented, and placed on the suspended sacred jade platform.

It was a fragment of tortoiseshell with two human-shaped patterns engraved on it, alongside a dozen ancient script. Aside from an ancient aura, there was nothing special about it.

One needed to know that a true fragment of a Supreme Sacred Artifact, even when not activated with Saint Qi, would still emit an aura that would one find it difficult to breathe.

Yet, there was nothing on this fragment of a tortoiseshell.

“Is this really a fragment of a Supreme Sacred Artifact?” a cultivator asked.

Zi Lan told the truth and said, “In fact, it is very likely a piece of a Supreme Sacred Artifact as the Tianjue Pavilion had used a ten-thousand-circuits sacred artifact of the Tenth Radiance and could not harm it at all.”

“In other words, it may not be a fragment of Supreme Sacred Artifact?”

“Yes,” Zi Lan replied.

Suddenly, many cultivators were disappointed.

The main reason for their rushed desire for the fragment of a Supreme Sacred Artifact was mainly to improve their combat strength.

If it was just a sturdy tortoiseshell, and whether it was a Supreme Sacred Artifact or not was uncertain. Its attraction to them would naturally decrease a lot.

Zhang Ruochen revealed a look of surprise and immediately became elated.

It was because the tortoiseshell fragment was very similar to the tortoiseshell on the back of the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror that Awesome, the Little Taoist had. It was very likely a missing part of the artifact.

“This tortoiseshell fragment must be bought.” Zhang Ruochen secretly made up his mind.

Zi Lan then announced, “The starting price of the tortoiseshell fragment is 300 million Saint Stones, every bid shall be no less than 10 million Saint Stones.”

Three hundred million Saint Stones... Even a Nine-step Saint King might not be able to come up with such an amount. So naturally, many of the cultivators were simply stopped dead in their tracks.

The entire Tianjue Pavilion became quiet, and there were very few cultivators were bidding.

“I’ll bid 300 million Saint Stones.”

The first bid came from a private room on the fourth floor.

Zhang Ruochen called, “Three hundred and ten million Saint Stones.”

“Three hundred and fifty million Saint Stones,” the voice in the fourth floor’s private room called out again.

“Three hundred and sixty million Saint Stones.”

...

In the entire Tianjue Pavilion, only the two of them were bidding, and soon the price of the tortoiseshell fragment had been raised to 600 million Saint Stones.

The person in the fourth-floor private room hesitated. Obviously, the price of 600 million was already approaching his limit.

The onlookers in Tianjue Pavilion all secretly guessed, “It’s just a fragment. For someone to be willing to pay 600 million Saint Stones to buy it, is it really a fragment of a Supreme Sacred Artifact?”

In the private room on the east side of the fifth floor, Mister Godcliff smiled and said, “That is indeed a fragment of a Supreme Sacred Artifact. If you are interested, you can buy it.”

Mister Godcliff’s eyes far exceeded all of the cultivators present.

Xie Canghai said, “My goal is the second last item on auction. I’m not interested in the rest.”

Jueyan Hu smiled. “Fairy Lian Xi, you seemed to be very interested in that Supreme Sacred Artifact fragment?”

“Who isn’t interested in a Supreme Sacred Artifact?” King Daxi replied.

“If that is the case, this handsome one will purchase it and give it to you.”

For an old monster like Jueyan Hu to call himself a “handsome one”, all of the cultivators present were revolted, but they dared not speak out. With Jueyan Hu’s cultivation, who would dare to offend him?

“One billion Saint Stones.”

Suddenly, the entire Tianjue Pavilion became silent.

One billion Saint stones, even for a Saint King, was an astronomical number.

“F*ck.”

Zhang Ruochen burst into foul language, the cultivators of the Hall of Deific Scions were really looking for trouble. Seeing that he was about to successfully bid on the tortoiseshell fragment, not only did they raised the bid, but they also did it in such a dastardly manner.

Zhang Ruochen did not have a billion Saint Stones with him, but he had many treasures in his possession. If he sold them, it would not be too difficult for him to collect a billion Saint Stones.

“1.1 billion Saint Stones,” Zhang Ruochen called.

Jueyan Hu raised the bid. “1.2 billion Saint Stones.”

“1.3 billion Saint Stones,” Zhang Ruochen called a bid again.

While Jueyan Hu had accumulated a large amount of wealth after thousand of years of cultivation, but it was still a difficult thing for him to spend billions at a time. If that brat over there kept raising the bid, he would not be able to keep up.

Jueyan Hu unleashed his Saint Aura and said in a threatening tone, “Youngster, getting your hands on a Supreme Sacred Artifact fragment, you aren’t afraid of inviting death?”

“Since you know it is a fragment of a Supreme Sacred Artifact, then its value is naturally worth more than 1.2 or 3 billion Saint Stones. I’ll pay 1.5 billion Saint Stones.” Before Jueyan Hu could increase the bid, Zhang Ruochen called again for an astronomical bid.

This price was enough to purchase a Planet of Life or the Ruined Realms.

Jueyan Hu was furious. 1.5 billion Saint Stones would need him to empty his entire assets to get such an amount.

At this moment, Jueyan Hu was caught between the sea and a hard place, if he was to let the other party take the Supreme Sacred Artifact fragment, won’t he be laughed to death by all of the cultivators present?

“Senior Jueyan, this Supreme Sacred Artifact fragment is too precious. Let Lian Xi purchase it for herself.”

King Daxi seemed to have seen through Jueyan Hu’s predicament and made a personal bid. “Two billion Saint Stones.”

King Daxi dared to call out such a price because she had seen Awesome, the Little Taoist use the Purple-Gold Bagua Mirror in the Celestial Domain of Truth. Therefore, no matter how high the price of that tortoiseshell fragment was, she would need to buy it.

Jueyan Hu had an embarrassed look on his face. He had never expected King Daxi to be richer than him, a senior who had lived for thousands of years. It seemed like today, whatever dignity his old face possessed had been totally lost.

“This Fairy Lian Xi sure is rich and powerful. For her to call 2 billion Saint Stones the moment she spoke...” Zhang Ruochen shook his and smiled bitterly.

Two billion Saint Stones was comparable with the value of a hundred-thousand-year-old sacred medicine and was beyond the limits Zhang Ruochen could bear.

It seems like he could only give up.

Luo Yi recovered as he opened his eyes, and he smiled slightly. “Which of the Nine Immortal Beauties isn’t extraordinary? Lian Xi’s background is very profound, and collecting two billion Saint Stones isn’t difficult for her.”

No one thought that a mere fragment would fetch such an outrageous price.

If a complete Supreme Sacred Artifact was on sale, a Supreme Saint would not necessarily be able to afford it either.

After not getting any additional bids, Zi Lan announced, “Two billion Saint Stones. First call.

“Two billion Saint Stones. Second call.

“Two billion...”

Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice came from outside the Tianjue Pavilion. “I’ll bid 3 billion Saint Stones.”

A white, slim figure walked into Tianjue Pavilion. Saint Light circled around the delicate body, as dark, silky hair swayed in the wind, as a faint fragrance was emitted from all over her body.

The Butcher and the Fool followed in.

In the hall, a cultivator recognized the peerless beauty and exclaimed, “It’s Fairy Tianchu!, it’s Fairy Tianchu!”

“Goodness, for two supreme beauties to appear at Tianjue Pavilion at the same time.”

The appearance of Fairy Tianchu sent Tianjue Pavilion into a frenzy, and none of the cultivators could keep calm.

Even those who kept their composure too looked at each other, showing an expression of great interest as they want to see what sort of sparks will come out as the two fairies bid on the same item?

For her to raise the bid by 1 billion Saint Stones in a single call, everyone could see that Fairy Tianchu was bound to win the tortoiseshell fragment.

How about Fairy Lian Xi?

Would she continue to raise the bidding price?
