"The exact level of Ancient Sages hasn't been determined yet. It's just a name that the later generations came up with based on the difference in strength and characteristics.
"Those who achieve a breakthrough to Ancient Sage will be able to continue their bloodline, just like our Zhang family. The reason why our bloodline is able to remain in our clan is due to an ancestor who has reached this level. As such, this level is also known as Bloodline Continuance, and it's the symbol of a breakthrough to Ancient Sage! "
"Bloodline Continuance?"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Upon reaching this level, one's bloodline would be able to continue their bloodline.
From the looks of it, Yuan Tao, the Infernal Blacksaber, and Vicious had reached this level as well. The Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage whom he had smashed to death back then had also reached this level.
They were considered to be the weakest of the Ancient Sages.
"The second level is known as the Hundred Schools of Philosophers. Of the seventy-two Sages, other than the Ten Sages, sixty-two of them have reached this level," Zhang Hongtian said.
"Hundred Schools of Philosophers? That's a level? "Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"It's just a name that represents one's realm. It doesn't matter what it's called," Zhang Hongtian said. "The third level is known as Blood Reincarnation. In other words, as long as one's lifespan is not up yet, even if one's head is severed, one will still be able to come back to life. I have reached this level as well, so my blood is far more powerful than the blood of other Ancient Sages! "
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in astonishment.
He had thought that those who had reached Ancient Sage would be able to achieve Blood Reincarnation, but from the looks of it, that was not the case.
Those who were able to achieve such a feat were likely to be top-notch existences even among Ancient Sages.
"What about the final level?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"Be it in the Master Teacher Continent or the Hundred Schools of Philosophers, other than Kong Shi, no one has been able to reach this level. It's said that those who have reached this level will be able to shatter space, putting them on par with Immortal's Envoys. As such, it's also known as the Dimension Shatterer realm or Immortal's Envoy realm. Of course, I'm still a long way from reaching this level, so I'm not too sure about the details. "
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Immortal's Envoy realm?" Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
He had heard of it before!
The first time he met Vicious in the Subterranean Gallery, the latter had told him that he was an Immortal's Envoy. Back then, he did not know much about cultivation realms, so he did not pay much heed to it. Who would have thought that Vicious would actually be an Ancient Sage realm pinnacle cultivator?
In other words, while Vicious might not seem like much now, he was indeed one of the strongest figures on the Master Teacher Continent when he was alive.
It was no wonder why even Kong shi was unable to free himself.
"Then … how powerful is Ancient Sage Yan Qing?"
He continued to ask.
Ancient Sage Yan Qing should be the one with the highest cultivation among the group of Ancient Sages. Just what kind of level had he reached?
"He's also a Blood Reincarnation realm cultivator, but he's just a minor realm higher than me!" Zhang Hongtian said, "However, he still hasn't reached the peak of Blood Reincarnation realm! Without sufficient Aeon of Ancient Sage to sustain his cultivation, it'll be difficult for him to advance any further! "
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization. "If that's the case, shouldn't I ask for more Blood Reincarnation realm Ancient Sage blood?"
Zhang Hongtian nodded in agreement. "Indeed. The blood of Ancient Sages of this level possesses the greatest prowess and effects!"
"Alright!" Zhang Xuan nodded in realization.
Their conversation was conducted through telepathy, so it took less than ten breaths for them to finish. Right after they were done speaking, Venerable White's voice sounded. "50 droplets of Ancient Sage blood? Alright, our Beast Tribe will buy it!"
His voice was deep and boorish, carrying with it a domineering aura.
"Venerable White, calm down. The 50 droplets of Ancient Sage blood that I'm talking about are those of Blood Reincarnation realm, not ordinary blood!" Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
"Blood Reincarnation realm? Why don't you just go and rob a bank instead? "
Venerable White nearly exploded on the spot.
A huge commotion broke out in the surroundings as everyone fell silent.
50 droplets of ordinary Ancient Sage blood was already an astronomical price, but this fellow actually wanted 50 droplets of Blood Reincarnation realm Ancient Sage blood …
"This is daylight robbery!"
"That price is too high. I doubt anyone will be willing to pay it!"
"It's not worth it to spend so much just for a single slot …"
…
The hushed voices of the Ancient Sages echoed in the air.
While a single slot could increase one's chances of obtaining the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, it was just a matter of increasing one's chances. Strictly speaking, it was indeed not worth it to spend so much just for a single opportunity.
"Whether it's worth it or not, you can decide for yourselves. The Great Codex of Spring and Autumn is Kong Shi's strongest artifact. Once you obtain it, do you think that you won't be able to raise a Blood Reincarnation realm expert?"
Zhang Xuan could see the hesitation in the crowd's eyes, and he chuckled softly. "Once you lose this opportunity, you'll be completely cut off from this fortuitous encounter. It's up to you to decide what you want to do. It's fine if you don't want to buy it. At most, I'll just have to arrange for a few more people to buy it, and our chances of obtaining it will increase significantly!"
Since the price of an auction had already been set, there was no point in lowering the price even if it failed to be sold.
"This …"
Everyone fell silent.
A single slot meant an additional fortuitous encounter. It was up to them to decide what they wanted to do.
"Our Hundred Schools of Philosophers will buy this slot!"
While everyone was silent, Ancient Sage Yan Qing's voice suddenly sounded.
"You're buying it?"
Everyone quickly turned their gazes over in shock.
Without wasting any time, Ancient Sage Yan Qing flicked his finger, and a jade bottle flew over to Zhang Xuan.
Catching the jade bottle, Zhang Xuan removed the cap and took a look. The scent of blood was concentrated within, and there were exactly fifty droplets of it.
Zhang Xuan discreetly shot a glance at Zhang Hongtian, and upon seeing the latter nodding his head, he knew that these were all Blood Reincarnation realm experts. Delighted, he stowed them into his storage ring and said, "Alright, the first slot goes to the Hundred Schools of Philosophers!"
"We'll be auctioning off the second slot now. This slot costs sixty droplets of Blood Reincarnation realm Ancient Sage blood," Zhang Xuan said.
"Why is it sixty droplets now?"
"Wasn't it fifty droplets just a moment ago?"
"It's the same slot, so why is the price going up?"
An uproar nearly broke out in the crowd.
They had thought that the second slot would be sold at the same price, but who would have thought that Zhang Xuan would raise the price by twenty percent?
"You can choose not to buy it, but our Master Teacher Continent currently has seven slots. The Hundred Schools of Philosophers have three slots, and each of you only has one slot.
It's up to you whether you like it or not … "Zhang Xuan turned to the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and the Beast Tribe and said with a smile," Furthermore, the last two slots will be even more expensive. After all, the more slots are auctioned off, the fewer slots there will be … "
"Fine, I'll buy it then …"
The White Overlord gritted his teeth furiously.
At their level of cultivation, there was no one who didn't put their heart and soul into their cultivation. Yet, a genius who had obtained the Prime Amulet and the Five Great Formations was actually a profiteer …
Just the thought of it left them feeling stifled.
"If it's sixty droplets, I'll buy it too!"
Before the White Overlord could finish his words, Old Geezer Yu harrumphed coldly.
