Ninth In the World Chapter 680

“Brother Di, Senior Sister Xitan went to the Dragon Clan and said she was going to attend an auction…” Ding Chi quickly answered.

Di Jiu frowned a little. Would Tang Xitan attend an auction? That was unlikely. Logically speaking, Tang Xitan's priority now was not to attend the auction but to refine the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood. That was definitely not something that could be achieved in just a few years.

“Did she say anything?” Di Jiu had planned to make a trip to the Dragon Clan.

Ding Chi shook his head. “Senior Sister Xitan just said that she would be fine. She said I shouldn't worry about it and should cultivate with peace of mind here. If you came back, I was supposed to let you know.”

“Did she go alone?” Di Jiu asked again.

“No, she went with a woman named Tang Beiwei. The Demon Clan's Fan Yuan invited them, so they went to the Dragon Clan,” Ding Chi answered.

Di Jiu found this a little weird. Fan Yuan had really dared to take action against Tang Xitan? Besides, she would not listen to him and go to the Dragon Clan even if he dared.

“I'll go to the Dragon Clan. You and Lightning shall stay here.” Di Jiu found it a little strange. He did not know what was happening now, so he had to go to the Dragon Clan to take a look.

“Brother Di, I have the spatial location of the Dragon Clan here.” Ding Chi immediately took out a locale ball and gave it to Di Jiu.

Although the Dragon Clan did not have much of a presence in the Void City, they had a strong presence in this void.

Even the Demon Clan and the Devil Clan were not necessarily more powerful than the Dragon Clan.

At that moment, in the largest palace of the Dragon Clan, a grand auction was being held. Di Jiu would understand why there were very few experts in the Void City when he arrived there.

There were only a few Dao Birth cultivators and Dao Transformation cultivators at this auction. Instead, there were more Primordial Dao experts and half-step Primordial Chaos experts. As for the Primordial Chaos experts, there were at least ten of them there.

At the moment, a woman was holding a jade box at the auction platform and saying, “Even though this is not auctioned as a finale item, I believe it may be the most valuable treasure at this auction…”

After hearing this, the entire venue went quiet.

This auction had been held for several days, but none of the items taken out were top-notch treasures. There had even been a broken corner of a river map and a Dao fruit that would give one the chance to be enlightened about the Primordial Chaos Realm. As for supreme-grade divine weapons, they were common at this auction.

However, the woman hosting the auction had said that the items in this jade box were the most precious at the entire auction. How could everyone not look forward to seeing the treasures in the jade box urgently?

Upon seeing that her tone had indeed raised the expectations of many cultivators, the woman held up the treasure in her hand and said, “As we all know, the Sacred Dao World was restored mainly because Dao Lord Ye contributed the Tree of the World… I have something related to that here…”

When everyone heard her mention the Tree of the World, the entire venue grew clamorous and the guests' excited auras began to collide. No matter how low their cultivation level was, they could not help but be excited when they heard about the Tree of the World.

Dao Lord Ye had made many achievements in the Sacred Dao World back then, which everyone was aware of. Everyone respected him regardless of whether they were friends or foes. In addition to what Dao Lord Ye had done, strength was naturally more important. Why had Dao Lord Ye been so powerful? Rumor had it that he had obtained the Tree of the World.

Because of the relation of the Tree of the World, its value was inestimable.

After everyone's discussions grew slightly softer, the woman added, “Many people know that the fragmentary Creation Wood produced the Tree of the World, the Nirvana Tree, the Chaos Tree, the Life Tree, and the annual rings back then. What I have here is a piece of wood. According to the guest who put this up for auction, this is a piece of the Nirvana Tree fragment…”

The female cultivator hosting the auction did not explain this correctly. The Nirvana Tree was not produced by the fragmentary Creation Wood. However, nobody would pay attention to this now, much less actually know about it.

Boom! The cultivators in the auction house were completely shocked. A fragment of the Nirvana Tree? If this matured, wouldn't it become another Tree of the World?

Some cultivators who longed for Nirvana Tree fragments turned red with jealousy. If it wasn't for the unfathomable strength of this auction house, some cultivators might have snatched it.

“Everyone, please calm down for a while!” The female cultivator hosting the auction could only shout.

Despite how much they yearned for this, they calmed themselves down. More than tens of thousands of cultivators were at the auction, but there was only one Nirvana Tree fragment. Everyone wanted it, which would be made evident by the intense fight over it later on.

After everyone calmed down, the woman hosting the auction continued speaking. “The Nirvana Tree fragment is a priceless treasure. However, I have to remind everyone that the guest who put this up for auction did not verify it. Our auction house will not help verify it, so there is a risk involved when purchasing it. Second, I hope everyone can be rational. Even if this is a fragment of the Nirvana Tree, not everyone can raise it or even grow it into a Nirvana Tree.”

She also had something else to say. If an average person could do this, then they would not have put it up for auction.

Theoretically, an auction normally would not mention that the auctioned items were not good. However, many cultivators had been looking forward to this Nirvana Tree fragment. Thus, she was afraid it might affect the entire auction if she did not explain.

The venue was still very silent. At that moment, those who could bid for the Nirvana Tree did not hesitate despite what the woman hosting the auction had said. Every cultivator had a great responsibility to reach the extent of their current cultivation.

Among the people sitting in this auction hall, who was not an exceptional genius? If someone was not a genius cultivator, they would have been washed away by the billows of countless years. Everyone was a genius with strong opportunities, so they did not think they were inferior to anyone else. If the current owner could not grow the Nirvana Tree, that did not mean that they could not either.

Upon seeing that the auction venue had quietened down, the female cultivator hosting the auction said in a clear voice, “There is no minimum price for this piece of Nirvana Tree fragment. Make your offers.”

Then, the price on the bidding screen started jumping without stopping. In just a few seconds, the first place had exceeded five supreme-grade divine spirit meridians and 100 million high-grade divine crystals.

The cultivators seated in the hall who could participate in the auction increased their bids, wanting to add their entire net worth. However, only a few top-notch experts were left to bid.

“The price has reached 12 supreme-grade divine spirit meridians and 500 million high-grade divine crystals…” The voice of the female cultivator hosting the auction trembled somewhat. Even though the auction had been held for so many days, it hadn't been as terrifying as this.

Fewer people bid after the bid of the 12 supreme-grade divine spirit meridians, and the value temporarily became stagnant.

“First call for 12 supreme-grade divine spirit meridians and 500 million high-grade divine crystals…” The price on the bidding screen once again moved.

Everyone looked at the new price, feeling a little stunned.

One supreme-grade divine spirit meridian without any divine crystals had been offered. Apart from that, there was also an elixir pill called the Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Pill.

Despite offering just these two things, this bid placed first over the bid of 12 supreme-grade divine spirit meridians and 500 million divine crystals.

When this price was offered, everyone was shocked. The Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Pill was a Dao pill used to advance to the Primordial Chaos with a high probability of over 50%. If a cultivator urgently needed this, this elixir pill could be exchanged with someone else's belongings.

This fact aside, the most crucial point was that the cultivator who had taken out the elixir pill had also been annotated. It was a special-class Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Pill. As long as a perfected Primordial Dao cultivator had enough qualities, they could certainly attain the Primordial Chaos Realm. Why had someone taken out this item to bid?

For the experts who had yet to reach Primordial Chaos, the Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Pill was a truly valuable treasure.

This bid made the entire auction hall stagnate shortly. In addition to the cultivators longing for the Nirvana Tree fragment, more cultivators were now looking for the person who had offered the Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Pill.

“Beiwei, are you crazy? How dare you offer the Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Pill?” Tang Xitan looked at Tang Beiwei and questioned her with a slightly pale face. She knew very well where Tang Beiwei's Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Pill came from. Taking this pill out at this place was something that would cost her life.

Even if Tang Beiwei only had one Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Pill, this would not be the end. Both she and Tang Beiwei were early-stage Primordial Chaos experts that were considered nothing there.

Tang Beiwei clenched her fists and turned slightly pale. She stared at the jade box and answered softly, “I have to obtain this. I have to…”
