At the instant Dao Kong looked over, the excited voice of the auctioneer reverberated through the entire auction hall once again.
"Perhaps some of you have already guessed what this treasure is. That's right … it is … the Sacred Constellation Robe that the direct descendants of Morning Dao Sect in True Morning Dao World are born with, and each of them can only have one in their lives!
"The Sacred Constellation Robe contains the strongest divine ability in Morning Dao Sect. It can allow the person who wears it to enslave all manner of people, and this item can also grow until the strongest person will appear among the direct descendants of each generation in Morning Dao Sect!
"If you are afraid of True Morning Dao World, then you absolutely cannot buy the Sacred Constellation Robe, or else you will bring upon yourself a great disaster." My fellow Daoists from the alien races in Divine Essence Star Ocean, this is the best chance for you to study Morning Dao Sect!
"Once you study this item, you can even find the secrets of Morning Dao Sect. Besides, you don't need to worry about Morning Dao Sect taking revenge on you!
"People from the other three Great True Worlds, if you want to obtain a Sacred Constellation Robe, you must kill a direct descendant of Morning Dao Sect, and this will stir up a war between the Great True Worlds." But now, if you buy this item here, then you will have the best reason to study Morning Dao Sect's secrets!
"People from True Morning Dao World, if you buy this item and bring it back to Morning Dao Sect, then with how much Morning Dao Sect cares about each and every direct descendant, this will definitely be a great meritorious deed!"
As the excited voice echoed in the air, Dao Kong stood up from his chair. In fact, when he stood up, he knocked over his wine cup, causing it to fall to the ground and spill wine.
However, he did not notice any of this. His gaze was fixed on the screen of light on the auction platform, on the item that had been brought out and displayed before all the people in the auction hall … the Sacred Constellation Robe!
Shock appeared on his face, and booming sounds reverberated in his head. With just one glance, he could tell that this was not a fake item. It was the real Sacred Constellation Robe, an item that only the direct descendants of Morning Dao Sect could possess. In fact, he could even sense the bloody stench on the Sacred Constellation Robe. Vaguely, he felt as if he could see the shrill screams of his family members before they died.
"My fellow Daoists, I can tell you with absolute certainty that this is the first and only Sacred Constellation Robe that Black Ink Planet has ever auctioned off. It has never appeared before, and in the future … I'm afraid that it will never appear again.
This is your only chance. This Stellar Saint Robe's starting price is ten million crystals! " The voice of the auctioneer was extremely infectious. As his voice reverberated in the air, everyone in the auction hall instantly fell silent.
There was greed, delight, and derision in those gazes. There were also many gazes that instantly gathered on the rooms in the area … to search for the people from True Morning Dao World.
They longed to see the expressions of the people from True Morning Dao World when they saw the Sacred Constellation Robe. Their expressions would definitely be very interesting.
"Dammit!!" Dao Kong's expression twisted. He kicked away the woman kneeling beside him and strode towards the screen of light in front of him. He glared at the Sacred Constellation Robe, and his relaxed and calm demeanor was completely gone at that instant.
He also hated Black Ink Planet for daring to bring this item out to be auctioned. In fact, he hated the auctioneer down to his bones, because he had spoken in far too much detail. Based on his words, it was as if he wanted the alien races from Divine Essence Star Ocean to immediately place their bids to buy it.
It was just as he had said. Once the alien races from Divine Essence Star Ocean bought this item, then True Morning Dao World would be unable to do anything about it, and it would be impossible for them to retrieve it.
However, even if the alien races from Divine Essence Star Ocean did not buy this item, once it was bought by the other three Great True Worlds, then it would be just as the auctioneer had said. The three Great True Worlds would be auctioning off the Sacred Constellation Robe, and no slaughter would be involved. Because of that, if Morning Dao Sect wanted to take back the Sacred Constellation Robe, then they would have to pay an even higher price than when they bought it.
However, this was not the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario was … if Dao Kong watched the Sacred Constellation Robe be bought by someone else, then no matter what the reason was, even if it was because he did not have enough crystals, as long as the Sacred Constellation Robe was bought before his eyes, then he would have to bear the wrath of Morning Dao Sect. Even if he was a direct descendant, the council of Sect Elders would definitely let him know what cruelty was.
"Damn it! Damn it!" A low growl came from Dao Kong's throat, and red instantly appeared in his eyes.
He had not expected that he would run into something like this in Black Ink Planet.
Besides, he knew very well that each of the Sacred Constellation Robes belonging to a direct descendant of Morning Dao Sect was incredibly valuable, and they were all recorded in detail. Once a family member died, then it would be a major incident!
However, he had been in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence for more than one thousand years, and he had not paid much attention to this matter. After all, the council of Sect Elders would naturally investigate and deal with the deaths of family members. He needed to return to the sect to know just which direct descendant had died.
However, before he came to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, he knew that over the countless years in the sect, only three Sacred Constellation Robes had been lost. Two of them had been retrieved, but the last one had been lost twenty thousand years ago, and there had been no news of it. No matter what sort of power Morning Dao Sect used, they could not find it.
As red filled Dao Kong's eyes, a light chuckle reached his ears. That chuckle seemed to have come from the air, and the person who had laughed could not be seen.
"Shut up!" Dao Kong turned his head around and swept his gaze across the area.
"I'm laughing at myself, what does it have to do with you? If Morning Dao Sect learns that you allowed someone else to buy this Sacred Constellation Robe, I'd like to see how you will explain yourself when you return to Morning Dao Sect." The woman's airy voice traveled forth from the area at a moderate pace.
Dao Kong's expression was incredibly dark. Just as he was about to speak, the auction hall fell into a brief period of dead silence before voices immediately began placing bids.
"Interesting. I'll offer 11,000,000 crystals for this Sacred Constellation Robe."
"Haha! 15,000,000!"
"Why are you all so petty? I'll offer 30,000,000!"
The voices placing bids rammed into Dao Kong's heart. He clenched his fists. He knew that the people in the area knew that True Morning Dao Sect would definitely buy this robe, which was why they had intentionally raised the price.
In fact, if he truly could not buy it, then Morning Dao Sect would have to pay several times the price if they wanted to take back the Sacred Constellation Robe. It could be said that this was a deal that would definitely benefit them.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they had the right to stand on equal footing with Morning Dao Sect, or else this sort of action would be equivalent to them asking for death.
Su Ming watched everything happening in the auction hall, and a smile appeared at the corners of his lips. He originally did not want to bring out the Sacred Constellation Robe, but since Dao Kong had no intention of participating in the auction, then Su Ming had to bring out something that would force Dao Kong to buy it.
Su Ming was not worried about other people buying it. He knew that this was something that Dao Kong was determined to get his hands on. If someone else bought it, Dao Kong would definitely descend into madness.
"The value of this item is endless. How can a mere 30,000,000 crystals match up to this item's status? True Sacred Yin World will offer … 50,000,000!"
"Since True Sacred Yin World has offered this price, then the Emperor of Abyss' True World will naturally not fall behind. 70,000,000!"
"80,000,000!" A voice with a slightly strange accent traveled forth. It was clear that this voice did not belong to someone from the four Great True Worlds, but … an alien race from Divine Essence Star Ocean!
"100,000,000 crystals!" Dao Kong could no longer sit around and watch. In fact, he did not even have his servant by his side place a bid. He spoke on his own, and his voice reverberated through the entire auction hall, stirring up a large number of soft chuckles.
"This is an item from True Morning Dao World. All those who dare to participate in the auction will have to think about True Morning Dao World's revenge. There is a bloody stench on this item. It might have been a long time ago, but it involves the death of a direct descendant of Morning Dao Sect!
"If any of you participate in this auction, then you will make me suspect whether this item originally belonged to you, and you are using this auction to make this item shine in the light so that you can wash away the blood feud between you and the members of Morning Dao Sect!" Dao Kong was not a fool. With such potential and True Morning Dao World's kismet, there was no way he would be an ordinary person.
Within a short period of time, he had thought of these words, and it immediately caused the people from the other Great True Worlds who were about to place a bid to be stunned.
'This Dao Kong's reaction sure is fast, but the more he acts this way, the better it is. ' Su Ming smiled faintly. As he watched the storm raging in the auction hall, he knew that Dao Kong would definitely walk into the plan he had set for him.
"One hundred and thirty million Spar." The strange voice from the alien race from Divine Essence Star Ocean traveled forth once again. There was a hoarse quality to it, and even though the tone was slightly different, the ancient feeling in it revealed the age of the person who spoke.
Others might pay some attention to True Morning Dao World, but the alien races from Divine Essence Star Ocean did not care about it at all. The distance between them was too great, and even if True Morning Dao World's anger surged to a monstrous degree, it would be difficult for them to take too many vengeful actions against the alien races from Divine Essence Star Ocean.
"150,000,000!" Dao Kong's expression was completely twisted, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face. His heart might be bleeding, and he knew that he would not be able to complete his mission this time, but compared to the Sacred Constellation Robe, he would immediately be rewarded greatly when he returned to Morning Dao Sect. There was no need for him to be too bothered by the fact that he did not manage to complete his mission.
"200,000,000 crystals." A light chuckle reverberated in the air. The appearance of that voice immediately stunned the cultivators in the auction hall, because the woman's voice had come from Dao Kong's room.
"Xu Hui!" Dao Kong turned around swiftly in his room and glared at the space around him. He was practically gnashing his teeth in exasperation.
"I'll buy this item and give it to Morning Dao Sect as a gift to break the engagement with you. That should be possible, right?" the woman said with a light chuckle.
There was no way Dao Kong would agree to this. Even though he would not suffer any loss if Xu Hui bought the Sacred Constellation Robe and he could continue completing his mission, in truth, this was already a loss. He would lose his wife, lose his first breakthrough in dual cultivation after he reached Plane Kalpa Realm, and also lose the engagement. His reputation in True Morning Dao World would suffer a severe blow.
This was something the prideful him could not accept.
"300,000,000!" Dao Kong said in a dark voice. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
