(Sixth update!)
— — —
"I didn't expect the Nanwu Palace's Young Palace Master to specially come to this auction. It seems like the items to be auctioned this time are extraordinary, especially the last few grand treasures. I'm getting more and more curious." A sloppy old man was holding a roasted exotic beast leg in his hand. His mouth was greasy as he spoke while eating.
Although the sloppy old man was extremely uncouth, nobody around dared to say anything about him.
That was because the sloppy old man's aura was too strong. He had reached the High-level Heaven Ultimate God level and was extremely close to the Peak Heaven Ultimate God level.
Even the Nanwu Palace's Young Palace Master would not easily offend such an expert.
Another Heaven Ultimate God asked, "Young Palace Master, I wonder what kind of treasures are at the auction that attracted you to come here personally?"
The experts next to him were also curious.
Although the scale of the auction was not small, it was not considered the top auction in the entire Danyang Holy Domain. Logically speaking, it should not have attracted the likes of Nanwu Palace, a giant in the Danyang Holy Domain, to participate in the auction. However, not only did Nanwu Palace come, but their Young Palace Master also came in person. That was a little surprising.
Nanwu Palace's Young Palace Master smiled wickedly when he saw everyone's gaze and said, "Everyone, please don't misunderstand. I came here purely because I happened to be nearby. As for the auction, the Star Picking Pavilion has sent someone to inform Nanwu Palace. Nanwu Palace originally planned to send a few Heaven Ultimate Gods here, but since I happened to be nearby, I decided to come along.
"As for what treasures will be auctioned this time … How would I know the Star Picking Pavilion's rules if you don't know them?"
The people around nodded when they heard the Young Palace Master's words.
Indeed, everyone knew the Star Picking Pavilion's rules. If they were auctioning precious treasures in the Danyang Holy Domain, they would at most inform a few top forces but would never reveal what the treasures were. That was also to add some unforeseen circumstances to the auction.
Of course, if it was a treasure that was enough to make the major forces of the Danyang Holy World fight for it at all costs, they would release the news in advance and deliberately create momentum so that the major forces would prepare in advance. Then, they would auction the treasure at the auction with a condition.
Now, the Star Picking Pavilion had only casually notified them. This meant that the best treasures in the auction would at most attract the attention of the few major forces. However, it was not enough for them to fight for it with all their might.
"Young Palace Master, I heard that the people from Divine Demon Sect, Life and Death Tower, and Dongfang Clan have all arrived, but they didn't show up at the banquet. The strange thing is that no one from Crimson Stone Fort is here," said a Heavenly Sovereign.
The Divine Demon Sect, the Life and Death Tower, and the Dongfang Clan were the top forces in the Danyang Holy Domain. Any one of them was on par with the Nanwu Palace.
However, on the surface, Crimson Stone Castle was still in charge of the Pill Sun Sacred World.
"Since the Star Picking Pavilion has notified the Nanwu Palace, they'll naturally notify the other forces as well. It's normal for them to send experts here. As for the Crimson Stone Fort, hmph, they're already in a mess internally. They don't have the time to attend the auction now." The Nanwu Palace Young Palace Master sneered without a trace of respect for the Crimson Stone Fort. On the contrary, he looked down on them.
The current Crimson Stone Fort was no longer the Crimson Stone Fort when the Crimson Stone Saint was still around.
The Nanwu Palace Young Palace Master was casually chatting with a few Heaven Ultimate Gods. Their conversation was not concealed at all. Jian Wushuang could still hear them clearly although he was sitting in a corner.
"Nanwu Palace, Divine Demon Sect, Life and Death Tower, and Dongfang Clan — these top forces in the Danyang Holy Domain have sent their experts here?"
"Although they're here, they still don't know what treasures will be auctioned at this auction. Although my Stately Painting is mysterious, no one can refine it or open it completely. This has greatly reduced its value. The Star Picking Pavilion also doesn't know what the Stately Painting is. Therefore, the treasure they want these major forces to compete for is definitely not the Stately Painting, but something else!"
"No matter what treasures they're competing for, it has nothing to do with me. However, I'm determined to get the Stately Painting. I hope the experts from these forces won't compete with me, otherwise …" Jian Wushuang's eyes were filled with coldness.
Jian Wushuang was not worried about those Heaven Ultimate Gods competing with him if he were to compete for the Stately Painting with his own financial resources. However, he was worried about those forces. If those forces were interested in the Stately Painting and wanted to compete for it, Jian Wushuang did not think his financial resources would be comparable to them.
He would have to rely on other means if he could not compete for it in a fair competition.
The banquet lasted for a full four hours before the crowd dispersed.
It was a quiet night.
The next morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
The huge Star Picking Pavilion was already in a hubbub.
The auction was about to begin.
There was a huge display stage at the auction venue which was shrouded in a powerful restrictive shield. The Star Picking Pavilion had spent a great deal of effort to build the restrictive shield. Even a Heaven Ultimate God would not be able to move the shield in the slightest.
There were many Star Picking Pavilion experts guarding outside the restrictive shield to ensure the treasures displayed on the display stage were safe.
A large number of people gathered a hundred meters away from the display stage. At a glance, there were no less than ten thousand people!
The ten thousand people should not be underestimated. Although it was not a lot, it was because the Star Picking Pavilion had deliberately raised the threshold. Those who were eligible to participate in the auction were either experts above the Ultimate God level or cultivators with more than a hundred thousand Primordial Stones.
It was because of the threshold that only ten thousand people came to the auction site.
There were a total of three floors in the auction site. The first floor was the most ordinary with more than ten thousand people gathered there. On the second floor, there were hundreds of independent rooms that were completely sealed off by restrictive shields which prevented soul power from probing.
Those who could have independent rooms on the second floor were Earth Ultimate Gods, including the Territorial Lords of various star regions, experts from some forces and sects, and even many solitary experts. For example, Jian Wushuang was staying in one of the independent rooms. He could clearly see the display stage below through the window, but others could not see him at all.
As for the third floor, it was even more impressive. It was either filled with Heaven Ultimate Gods or experts from major forces. There were also dozens of them. The Heaven Ultimate Gods who appeared at last night's banquet were only a portion of those who came to participate in the auction.
