Chapter 262: A Year Later
A very long time ago, a time where Mountain Master Tian Yuan had not yet attained enlightenment. Rather, it was back in the time where he hadn’t even ascended into the Heavenly Realm.
There were not any Sage Venerates born between heavens and earth yet. Many forces were slaughtering each other in bloodbaths, the universe was chaotic, and calamity spread through all over the world.
One day, a palace suddenly descended on the battlefield of the war that has lasted for 3,000 years. Its divine luminance soared into the sky, brimming with luxuriant immortal power and attracted the attention of many powerful beings. As a result, they were bombarded and eight Quasi-Sages were killed with one blow.
Another ray of divine luminance later slashed down the Quasi-Sage expert of the pinnacle who was the strongest of the time, and it deterred all the others.
The gate of the palace was opened, and placed on display were countless immortal weapons and Dao vessels, peerless immortal special abilities, spiritual pills and spiritual roots, and even the ways of sanctifying a person’s path towards the Holy Dao.
In fact, the existence of the way of sanctifying Dao was first introduced around from then on.
“That’s all that I know of!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan looked at the Southern Sea with a solemn expression, “I didn’t expect the legends to be true. After such a long time, the Infinite Realm Auction House has descended again.”
“The way of sanctifying the path of Dao came from the Infinite Realm Auction House?” Jiang Ming was very surprised.
“The rumor says so!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan laughed, “However, there is no specific technique for sanctifying the path of Dao. It is merely to point out the several routes for it. How can Dao, the most mysterious power, be understood with mere words? It is only through the heavens and earth that a person can understand everything after experiencing enlightenment; without enlightenment, hundreds of millions of years could’ve gone by and the person would still be lost.”
Jiang Ming nodded in agreement.
…
On top of Tianyuan Sea, Jiang Ming’s clone paced midair, weaving through the vast sky, crossing voids and it didn’t take long for him to arrive outside of the Infinite Realms Auction House.
“Brother Jiang!” Riyue Changfeng cupped his hands.
“Brother Riyue!” Jiang Ming smiled.
As the other party bowed slightly, two futons appeared beside him.
Jiang Ming stepped up into the air and sat cross-legged on a futon.
“Brother Jiang, born of the mortal planar world, walking on the path of World’s Dao, yet to enter into the Great Overarching Realm, but still managed to behead Quasi-Sage experts. Looking through infinite realms, you are also one of the small group of peerless talents standing at the pinnacle.” As Riyue Changfeng said, he simply made a gesture, and a pot of tea suddenly appeared, suspended in mid-air. He then waved his sleeves, two crystal clear and flawless teacups appeared in the middle.
As Jiang Ming looked over, his pupils could not help shrinking. Whether it was the teapot or the teacups, they were all carved from innate spiritual jades, which was extremely luxurious indeed.
As soon as Riyue Changfeng raised his hand, a stream from the teapot split into two trickles pouring into the teacups. In an instant, seven parts of the tea filled the tea canister and the water in it started to ripple. As the clouds and mists rose, it conjured into a scene where he saw a jaded dragon circling around, a vermillion bird croaking, a white tiger majestically roaring and a black tortoise roaming through. The scenes suddenly change as the four mythological beasts formed a four-path formation array, which then collapsed and merged into the tea.
“This is the Four-Manifestation Spiritual Tea I collected in a world that evolved naturally in the Chaos. It’s quite tasty. Please, be my guest Brother Jiang!” Riyue Changfeng introduced the tea, and didn’t mind that the Jiang Ming that came forth was just a clone.
“After you!” Jiang Ming was not reserved at all as he lifted the teacup and took a sip. Various flavors tingled through the tips of his tongue as the tea merged into all parts of the body, making even the clone more solid than before. The clone even had a tendency to transform into the original body itself.
“Such great tea!” He couldn’t help but show his admiration.
“If brother Jiang likes the tea, I still have a lot of them. Take them as a gift!” Riyue Changfeng took out a jar, waved it over to Jiang Ming, and continued on the topic just now, “I extracted the time- space imprint to looked through the previous battle, and found that brother Jiang’s special ability is the best of the Honggu Heavenly Realm, and is of extraordinary inheritance. Sacrificial Artifact Judgment technique! I have half of the technique on my side. Such a technique of smelting 3,000 laws into one is timeless and as excellent as it is, I am but not without it. However, brother Jiang’s smelting technique is extremely unique. Its power is unparalleled and the potential is endless. It should be that brother Jiang comprehended the technique all by yourself!”
“Good artifice!” Jiang Ming exclaimed.
In truth, Jiang Ming was really shocked. Looking at the past through the method of Time-Space Imprint was although sky-edifying, but was not uncommon at all. However, the other party actually knew about the Sacrificial Artifact Judgment technique and even saw through the smelting of 3,000 laws into one. It really made Jiang Ming feel like he has improved his vast knowledge.
“Good insight!” Jiang Ming said indifferently, “Brother Riyue, with your means and capabilities, you’re still not able to collect the complete details on the Sacrificial Artifact Judgment technique?”
“The follow-up methods of evoking the technique can be deduced, but it’s too time-consuming and labor-intensive. Such a feat is far from being a short span of hard work and is not worth the effort! Moreover, evoking this technique is too expensive.” Riyue Changfeng laughed, “Brother Jiang, would you be willing to sell it to me?”
“Do you even collect items?” Jiang Ming asked curiously.
“Of course!” Riyue Changfeng explained, “The tenet of the Infinite Realm Auction House is to communicate with each other among all realms, to buy low and sell high. In fact, collecting items is also our main purpose. I’m afraid that with your inheritance, you will also know that our Infinite Realm Auction House roams the infinite realms and conducts transactions, with the real purpose of obtaining the Qi of infinite realms, which is the fundamental method of our cultivation!”
“You even revealed such details?” Jiang Ming was even more surprised.
“It’s not a secret to begin with!” Riyue Changfeng said indifferently, “If Brother Jiang has anything good, you can sell it to me. Of course, I also have the items that Brother Jiang needs here, such as the long river of innate vital essence, the chaos vital essence, the heart of the small chiliocosm, the heart of the middle chiliocosm, all kinds of Great Overarching Dao vessels, Quasi-Sage Weapons and etc. There are quite a number of good items! ”
“Aren’t you afraid of being robbed?” Jiang Ming gasped, but couldn’t help saying.
This person in front of him was really a filthy rich man. However, the other party had also really seen through his own details as well.
“Of course not! I’m not afraid if the Sage Venerate does not make a move; if the Sage Venerate does, I am even less afraid!” Riyue Changfeng smiled confidently, “Would you like to go inside and have a look first?”
“Why are you inviting me alone? You are an auction house!” Jiang Ming stood up.
“There are not many people in the Honggu Heavenly Realm that meet my eye. Only Brother Jiang, who has the greatest potential among all. You might even be a big customer of mine in the future. Naturally, I will have to establish a good relationship first!” Riyue Changfeng laughed, “The excellence and downfall of long-term customers, also affects our own growth!”
“This is your path of Cultivation?”
“You are correct!”
“That’s really weird!”
“Haha! There are 3,000 types of Daos where each is different, but their final destination is almost the same! Shall we?”
“Lead the way!”
The two landed directly in front of the palace. Right when the door opened, a magnificent aura suddenly loomed over their faces and Jiang Ming was moved by the vast boundless ancient aura.
Riyue Changfeng flicked his finger and a ray of divine luminance exploded, transforming into immeasurable divine voice, merging into thousands of laws, and dispersed into all directions of the Honggu Heavenly Realm: “The Infinite Realm Auction House will be opened in the Infinite Realm Battlefield in a year time. There will be Quasi-Sage Weapons, supreme-grade spiritual roots, Nine-Incarnation Pill, Chaos Vital Essence, the method of the Holy Dao, peerless special abilities, array formation that can trap even the Sage Venerates, the Great Overarching substitutions and so on!”
This voice was integrated into the laws, and those who did not reach a certain level could not hear it at all.
At the same time, streaks of divine luminance erupted from the palace, forming line after line of Daoist motifs, explaining the details of the auction such as how to trade and so on.
The rays of light soared into the sky and spread throughout the Infinite Realm Battlefield.
“Are you always so high-profile?” Jiang Ming couldn’t help but wonder.
“Of course!” Riyue Changfeng pointed to the front and said as he walked, “By advertising it, you can attract more customers. As for those with ulterior motives? Just killing them will do! You can even get a lot of good things for free.”
Jiang Ming couldn’t help laughing.
As he spoke, Riyue Changfeng led him into a gate of light, and as the stars shifted around, it seemed as if he had come to an endless starry sky.
As his eyes narrowed, Jiang Ming took a deep breath.
Right in front of him was a huge star. No, it was clearly transformed by the heart of a chiliocosm; there was a mighty long river on the left, flowing the innate immortal liquid; a meteor streaking across the sky that was clearly a spear that was a Quasi-Sage Dao Vessel.
On Chuyang Peak…
‘This is obviously trying to lure me!’ Through the clone, Jiang Ming understood everything and couldn’t help thinking, “This guy, he knows that I need a lot of resources to support the way of the World’s Dao. Is he allowing me to see his treasures first to try and make me complete the trade and to try probing on more details about myself?”
