Seventy million, equivalent to the value of seventy million jin of Spirit Stones!

Wow—

The entire hall erupted in astonishment. Although seventy million was not a significant amount for many big figures, that was just the starting bid. The final transaction price often exceeded it many times over.

Even Ye Chen couldn't help but be surprised. It was just the beginning, and they were already auctioning a 120,000-year-old Nine Treasures Divine Fruit Medicine Spirit, with a starting bid as high as seventy million. This kind of auction event was indeed extraordinary, far grander than any auction Ye Chen had previously encountered.

"Eighty million!"

At this moment, a voice rang out. It was Master Guu Lan, who raised the bid without hesitation by ten million, from seventy million to eighty million.

Many people silently praised him. As expected of an Alchemist, especially such an Alchemy Master; indeed wealthy and powerful. With years of alchemy, even without deliberate accumulation, the wealth amassed was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Eighty-five million!"

"Eighty-eight million!"

"Ninety million!"

"One hundred million—"

...

In the ensuing time, the entire Auction Hall plunged directly into a frenzy of bidding. Everyone who made a bid was a true Alchemy Master. Even other covetous Great Power Ancestors did not dare to speak up, worried about offending these Alchemy Masters, as the status of an Alchemy Master of Level 8 was higher than that of even the Great Powers.

If offended and they sought revenge, under their great names, they could easily call upon friends and summon Heavenly Strongest from the Eight Desolates of the Universe to aid them, which would indeed be terrifying.

This is why these big figures did not dare to speak up, and since it was just one of the treasures in the auction, they all remained silent, letting these Alchemy Masters continue their mad bidding.

"One hundred fifty million!"

Soon, the auction price of the Nine Treasures Divine Fruit reached an unprecedented one hundred fifty million, more than double the initial starting price, which was equally shocking regarding the wealth and prowess of these Alchemy Masters, far beyond what countless Great Powers could match.

However, neither Priest Master Anmu, Dan Chen, nor any riding Alchemy Grandmaster had spoken, remaining calm and unmoved.

This led many to whisper a sigh, knowing that the Alchemy Grandmaster had long surpassed the Level 8 Master, with higher vision. The Nine Treasures Divine Fruit, with such an age, might not even catch his eye.

In the Divine Tower, the old man chuckled, "Little friend, do you also not fancy this Nine Treasures Divine Fruit?"

Ye Chen smiled wryly, "Old sir, please don't make fun of the younger generation. With so many Alchemy Masters competing for the Nine Treasures Divine Fruit, how could I, a junior, insert myself into the bidding without incurring the wrath of all the Alchemy Masters for my presumptuousness?"

"Oh?" the old man chuckled, "Your words aren't honest, little friend. With the strong and domineering nature of your Combat Saint Lineage, it manifests in you to the extreme. I don't think you'd fear offending these Alchemy Masters."

Ye Chen smiled, "You are right. I indeed do not fear offending them, but I do not wish to do so unnecessarily, and this Nine Treasures Divine Fruit is not absolutely essential. Therefore, I am unwilling to offend these Alchemy Masters over it."

As the two conversed, the bidding price for the Nine Treasures Divine Fruit doubled again, reaching a height of one hundred seventy-five million, exceeding the starting price by over a hundred million, ultimately to be successfully claimed by Master Guu Lan.

"Congratulations to Master Guu Lan!"

"Master Guu Lan, congratulations on successfully bidding for the Nine Treasures Divine Fruit!"

On the Three Thousand Divine Tower, many big figures clasped their fists towards Master Guu Lan to offer their congratulations.

"Master Guu Lan is going to shell out a lot this time, but if the refinement is successful, there may be a twist for the champion of the Pill Scripture." The old man chuckled, stroking his long beard.

Hearing this, Ye Chen trembled slightly, growing ever curious about the old man's identity, yet he naturally showed no emotion as he continued to watch the ongoing auction event.

"Now, the second treasure about to be auctioned is—!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

On the auction platform, a mass of radiant light burst forth, accompanied by an immense and boundless pressure emanating from within, possessing an aura of supreme majesty that diffused in wisps and strands, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

Visible to the naked eye, within the radiant light was an orb the size of a human head, flawless and impeccable, as if the most perfect object in the world, enveloped by infinite and perfect World Principles——

World Heart!

That's right, the second treasure to be auctioned is a World Heart. Crucially, this World Heart is complete and flawless, containing the most complete World Principles, and within it lies vitality. By paying a sufficient price, there is a hope to nurture a whole world heaven and earth.

Moreover, the most important part was the alluring auctioneer's remark: "Do not underestimate this World Heart, it is not an ordinary World Heart, nor is it a World Heart of a plane heaven and earth. It is the King World Origin Heart of the Tianyi Monarch, who perished and fell ages ago. Due to certain reasons, the King Great World collapsed, but the World Heart was extracted, still containing the King Great World's Original Laws. With a sufficient price, it can be reopened to form a complete King Great World. Once refined and reopened, it may inherit the majestic powers of the original King Great World——"

With this remark falling, countless strong powers on the Three Thousand Divine Tower ignited with fervor, even those calm and composed Great Powers were no exception.

Although they have opened their own Original Heavens and Earth, and once they reach the Ancient Monarch Realm, they can make the ultimate leap, directly transforming into a King Great World.

But an Ancient Monarch is one of the supreme domains. Looking across the entire Ancient Universe, endless starry skies, and countless living beings, yet throughout the ages, how few have been born?

It's almost countable on fingers, because it's exceedingly challenging.

Throughout an epoch, countless Heavenly Prides reach the Great Power level and spend tens of thousands of years reaching the Great Power Peak, yet often remain stuck at the threshold of the Great Power Peak, unable to take the next step, leaving an eternal regret.

Now obtaining a World Heart, containing the Ancient Monarch's insights on Heaven and Earth Creation, as well as some King's Origin Profound Meanings, although not enough to break through to the Ancient Monarch Domain, once refined to open a King Great World, completely unifying with one's Original Heaven and Earth, would enhance one's strength exponentially, possessing the vast World Power.

Just like the Cosmic Sky City Lord in the First Pass of the Ultimate Ancient Road back then, was it not by relying on the Cosmic Sky City opened up by ancestors over generations that they wielded unparalleled power beneath that starry sky?
