Chapter 884

The auction officially began. Even the host of the auction was a Holy Venerate of Hongmeng.

At the beginning, most of the treasures auctioned were low-grade divine artifacts. Occasionally, there would be a high-grade divine artifact or a relatively powerful mid-grade divine artifact, making the atmosphere even more lively.

In comparison, the competition for low-grade divine artifacts was not that intense. Those who bought low-grade divine artifacts were mostly itinerant cultivators, as well as experts from some small sects.

These experts had limited wealth, so it was impossible for them to raise the price too high.

At the beginning, Bi Fan and the rest would occasionally bid and obtain a few rather unique low-grade divine artifacts.

Bi Fan and the rest were just playing around and did not pay much attention to the auction.

Bi Fan still had the intention to bid for some high-grade divine artifacts, but the price was too high and he could not afford it. He wanted to keep the Nine Star Soul Jades for the final supreme-grade divine artifact.

Offensive high-grade divine artifacts were worth between one billion and ten billion Nine Star Soul Jades. But in this auction, the price was already more than ten billion Nine Star Soul Jades, more than ten times their actual value.

Although the Six Ultimate Divine Sect had a large number of Nine Star Soul Jades, he was still reluctant to take out so many Nine Star Soul Jades to buy a high-grade divine artifact.

Another reason was that the Six Ultimate Divine Sect had obtained the inheritance of the Tongtian school and had a large number of high-grade divine artifacts. Later on, Bi Fan obtained some inheritance of the Hundred Battle Sage Palace and also some high-grade divine artifacts.

The Six Ultimate Divine Sect might even have more high-grade divine artifacts than some Rank 9 sects.

This was Bi Fan's secret, and no one knew about it. Otherwise, if it were to spread, it would bring great trouble to the Six Ultimate Divine Sect.

Various factions were frantically collecting divine artifacts. If they knew that the Six Ultimate Divine Sect had obtained the inheritance of the Tongtian school, it would inevitably lead to a bloody battle.

With a great enemy in front of them, Bi Fan did not want the Hongmeng Imperial Palace to fall into chaos, nor did he want the Six Ultimate Divine Sect to be destroyed. That was why he thought of hiding the truth.

Although Bi Fan was somewhat famous and had made contributions to the Hongmeng Imperial Palace, no one would care so much about the treasures in front of them.

Unless he had enough strength to protect those treasures and prevent others from making a move.

However, when Bi Fan saw so many experts fighting over the high-grade divine artifact, he felt very emotional. He was lucky. Otherwise, he would have joined in as well.

The competition for offensive high-grade divine artifacts was not fierce. The price of spiritual high-grade divine artifacts was tens or even hundreds of times higher.

Everyone knew that Soul-type Divine Artifacts were the most effective against Undead Clan experts. Hence, Soul-type Divine Artifacts that could enhance Divine Consciousness attacks were the most sought after treasures.

Not to mention high-grade divine artifacts, even low-grade and mid-grade divine artifacts would be fought over by many experts.

Bi Fan did not bid. Among the divine artifacts of the Six Ultimate Divine Sect, soul type divine artifacts occupied a large proportion. It was enough for the Six Ultimate Divine Sect to use.

The main reason was that these soul-type divine artifacts were too expensive. Bi Fan didn't want to lose the big picture because of a small gain. Thus, he set his sights on the final supreme-grade divine artifact.

There were too many treasures in this auction, and it would probably last for a month.

No one knew when the treasures would be auctioned, so Bi Fan did not dare to leave.

With Yu Siyan and the rest watching outside, Bi Fan cultivated in seclusion inside the Mixed Demon and Demon Subduing Pagoda.

Recently, they had put all their effort into cultivating the Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm and had reached the small success stage. The Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm was powerful, but every time it was used, it would cause damage to the user. Therefore, Bi Fan and the rest had to practice the Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm well, lest they hurt themselves.

After successfully cultivating the Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm, Bi Fan and the rest's hands were comparable to high-grade divine artifacts. The strength of their palms became even more shocking.

Even without using the Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm, Bi Fan and the rest's combat strength had increased.

However, it was extremely difficult for Bi Fan and the rest to cultivate the Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm to the large success stage. They were working hard for this.

The auction outside was so intense, but Bi Fan did not pay attention to it. He wanted to seize every second to improve his cultivation and strive for progress.

They had the Mixed Demon and Demon Subduing Pagoda to assist in their cultivation, so their cultivation speed was very fast. One day outside was equivalent to three years of seclusion inside.

Bi Fan and the four clones comprehended the Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm for three years, which was equivalent to thirty years alone.

In this way, in ten days, Bi Fan and the rest would be equivalent to other experts cultivating for three hundred years.

Although the Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm was difficult to cultivate, there would be some progress after such a long time, and its power would increase significantly.

To Bi Fan and the rest, even if it was just a ten percent increase in power, it would have a huge effect.

Not to mention, Bi Fan and the rest had been in seclusion for nearly a month, and the Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm's power had increased by thirty percent. The Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm was already powerful, and with a thirty percent increase in power, it would be even more monstrous.

Of course, the Buddhist Kingdom in the Palm's realm was still a long way from the Profound Realm and needed to continue cultivating.

There were only a few days left before the auction began, and the palace-type and soul-type upper-grade divine weapons were being auctioned. Yu Siyan and the rest called out Bi Fan.

Bi Fan came out and happened to see a soul-type upper-grade divine weapon, Soul-Destroying Needle, being auctioned.

"I bid five hundred billion Nine Star Soul Jades!"

"I bid six hundred billion!"

…

Sure enough, the auction price had far exceeded the actual value of the Soul-Destroying Needle, but there was still a large group of experts bidding fiercely.

Seeing that situation, Bi Fan was a little worried. He was really worried that the price of a supreme-grade divine weapon would reach an unimaginable level.

Although the Six Ultimate Divine Sect had a lot of Nine Star Soul Jades, they could not be too wasteful.

In fact, Nine Star Soul Jades were very helpful for cultivation, especially for experts above the Ultimate God level in Hongmeng who needed a lot of Nine Star Soul Jades.

With the increasing number of Ultimate God experts in Hongmeng, Bi Fan naturally needed to accumulate more Nine Star Soul Jades.

If there was a lack of cultivation resources, it would be fatal to a sect.

A treasure like the Soul-Destroying Needle was very effective against the Undying Clan, and even Bi Fan was tempted. Unfortunately, he did not dare to bid casually and had to save the Nine Star Soul Jades for supreme-grade divine weapons.

Before the auction began, Bi Fan had already found out what the last nine supreme-grade divine weapons were through Deng Xianhe.

Coincidentally, one of the nine supreme-grade divine weapons was a component of Heaven's Elysium, the Sacred Soul Drum.

A supreme-grade divine weapon would definitely fetch a sky-high price, so Bi Fan had to get it. That was why he had not made a move yet.

Naturally, Huang Tianxuan, Zhan Tianpeng, and the rest had also bought a few treasures, but they didn't spend much.

The treasures that the Six Ultimate Divine Sect had given them were already enough, so they didn't need to buy anything else.

Although it was said that the more treasures the better, one shouldn't bite off more than one could chew.

The current Bi Fan did not have as many treasures as when he was in the lower realm, but every one of them was the best of the best.

As long as he could bring out the power of each divine weapon, that was the most important thing.

Among Bi Fan's treasures, only the Eight Treasure Gourd had been with him since the beginning. However, it did not have any power, and it was only used to refine immortal wine.

Currently, the treasures that Bi Fan used the most were the Chaos Origin Demon Subduing Pagoda, the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Mirror, and the Extreme Flame Frigid Ice.

The treasures that Zhan Tianpeng and the rest bought were mostly one-time consumables. They were all life-saving treasures, so they had to be prepared. In the future, the war with the Undead Clan would definitely be long and drawn-out. An additional life-saving treasure meant an additional chance of survival, and the possibility of survival would also increase.

Yu Siyan and the rest also bought some life-saving treasures, such as the Seven Star Soul Jades and Nine Star Soul Jades. Naturally, Bi Fan would pay for them.

Compared to those divine weapons, the Six Ultimate Divine Sect lacked life-saving treasures more, so they naturally had to buy more.

However, there were too many experts participating in the auction, and those experts from the major sects didn't hesitate to buy the Seven Star Soul Jades and Nine Star Soul Jades, causing the price of the treasures to soar. Many times, Yu Siyan and the rest had to give up.

"A high-grade soul type divine weapon, and not a particularly good one at that, yet it's at such a price. It's ridiculous!" Bi Fan saw that the price of the Soul Extinguishing Needle had already reached one trillion Nine Star Soul Jades, and was incomparably shocked.

"We're all numb to it. Every divine weapon has to go through intense competition, and it's dazzling." Zhan Tianpeng smiled.

Bi Fan smiled, "Fortunately, we don't have to compete. Otherwise, it wouldn't be enough no matter how many Seven Star Soul Jades and Nine Star Soul Jades we have."

"Sect Master Bi Fan, we really have to thank you for your treasures and resources. Otherwise, our Phoenix Clan's wealth wouldn't be enough to buy so many treasures." Huang Tianxuan sighed.

"There's no need to thank me. It's your own choice." Bi Fan smiled.

Speaking of which, Bi Fan was even more grateful to Huang Tianxuan. With the addition of the Phoenix Clan, the Six Ultimate Divine Sect had the strength of a veteran Eighth Grade Sect.

The Six Ultimate Divine Sects possessed treasures that could compare to ninth rank sects, and their strength was comparable to the old eighth rank sects. That was already very rare. After all, the Six Ultimate Divine Sect hadn't been established for a long time, so it was a miracle for them to have such achievements.

"My choice back then was incomparably wise. Back then, many experts objected, but I was the one who forced it. Now, they're all filled with admiration for me. "Huang Tianxuan smiled.

"Let's not talk about anything else. I'll do my best to lead the Six Ultimate Divine Sect's experts to fight against the Undying Clan. I'll protect everyone's lives." Bi Fan said.

"Sect Master Bi Fan, it's because I believe in you that I chose to bring the Phoenix Clan into the Six Ultimate Divine Sect." Huang Tianxuan said.

Bi Fan smiled, "I won't let down everyone's trust. If we work together, we'll definitely have a high chance of success."

He didn't like to boast, nor did he like to speak too confidently.

Zhan Tianpeng said, "If I didn't follow Sect Master Bi Fan, I don't even know what my current cultivation would be. No matter what, I'll follow the Six Ultimate Divine Sect to the end. "

Bi Fan didn't want to stir up everyone's passion, but he was happy to see Zhan Tianpeng and the rest's performance.

A sect's cohesiveness was extremely important. If they lost confidence in the sect, then their fighting spirit would be greatly weakened.

When the war broke out, Bi Fan needed the Six Ultimate Divine Sect's experts to fight with all their might. Whether it was for themselves or for the Six Ultimate Divine Sect, they had to fight to the death.

The Six Ultimate Divine Sect was able to gain the loyalty of its experts not only because of the system and treasures, but also because of Sect Master Bifan's conduct, which won the respect of those experts.
