Chapter 1038: Chapter 634: The Curtain Falls

Although it was as disgusting as eating a fly, things still had to continue.

After the Star Sword Order, there was another batch of items for auction. Generally positioned the same, they were all average—neither high nor low—weapons, equipment, or magical artifacts, fought over by a group of Independent Lords and Civilian Lords with modest assets.

“Netherworld Tao Order!”

“Is it my turn now?”

“Damn it, I should have exchanged more!”

“Just a few hundred, just a few hundred, my Netherworld Tao Order!”

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

“Although the Netherworld Ghost Domain is slightly inferior to the Complete Heaven Sword Sect, they are both top low-order Magic Civilizations, not much different. Such a core of civilization requiring only twenty-five million Tao Points, I should have…”

“Transferred to our own Netherworld Tao Mansion’s auction, the price of this Netherworld Tao Order would at least double, or even more.”

“This trip wasn’t in vain, and those Tao Points weren’t exchanged for nothing!”

“Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion indeed has something special.”

“Unfortunately, that person is only at the Second Order. Although he is unmatched for the time being, he can’t last long. Now that he has interfered with the interests of the major forces, and adding on the grudge between the Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace and the Zhou Clan, who knows how long Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion can last.”

“What do you care if it lasts or not, it’s not like you’re marrying him and living out your days together. Eat while you can, worry about the future later.”

“Exactly, if it comes to it, just exchange these Tao Points at his auction, and switch them back after it ends. No matter what, you won’t lose.”

“You wish, you think he’s doing charity! Not to mention the transaction tax for each in and out, just think, after his reputation is established, the value of these Tao Points and the exchange rate will inevitably increase. The more you exchange earlier, the more you earn; the more you exchange later, the more you lose.”

“That’s what investment is. If you want to reap the benefits, you have to stand with him now, exchange these Tao Points, support him to grow bigger. The bigger he becomes, the higher the value of these Tao Points. Those of us who exchange early will earn even more.”

“But if one day this ship capsizes, not only will he be gone without a trace, we too will end up with nothing.”

“What can you do about it? Wanting benefits without taking risks, where in the world does such a good deal exist?”

“Investment carries risks, exchange cautiously!”

“Regardless, he is currently Second Order unmatched, and he aims to claim the Dual Crown at Second Order, which means for the next decade, these Tao Points are guaranteed. Exchanging them now would definitely not be a loss, and might even bring in a huge profit.”

“Hopefully, Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace and the major powers will threaten him a bit more, make him afraid to advance, and stagnate for dozens or hundreds of years. Then, we would really strike it rich.”

“Hmph, short-sighted. If he always stays at Second Order, who will get the Third Order items for you?”

“After the auction ends, let’s exchange another batch of Ten Thousand Dao Points. This time the major powers weren’t prepared, reluctant to lower themselves to compete with us Independent People, but it will be different later.”

“With interests involved, various dirty tricks will inevitably follow. If you want to profit from this, you have to pay heavily.”

“The greater the turmoil—the more expensive the fish!”

As each medium-level auction item was sold at relatively low prices, the Independent Lords were turning green with envy. Had the exchange channel for Tao Points not already closed, they would have rushed out to exchange another batch of Tao Points and fight a blood battle.

After all, items like the Star Sword Order and the Netherworld Tao Order were worth far more than just twenty to thirty million Tao Points.

The reason they could be auctioned off at such low prices today was firstly because the major powers were cautious, reluctant to make a move, and secondly because these Independent Lords were unprepared and also had reservations. Having only exchanged about twenty to thirty million Tao Points earlier, they naturally could only bid up to that price.

Many of the Independent Lords who missed out on their coveted items were left wanting to cry but unable to shed tears. They could only resolve deep down to pay heavily next time, exchanging more Tao Points to prepare for the next auction.

And so it goes…

“Next, please welcome the seventy-fifth auction item—Cycle of Heaven Constellation Map!”

“This is a wonder, capable of significantly enhancing the effects of various Star Attribute Spells and Skills; lords and heroes without Star Attribute Magic can also comprehend various Star Attribute Magic and Skills through its study.”

“The starting bid is fifty million Tao Points, and each increment must not be less than ten million Tao Points!”

As another auction item took the stage, everyone’s gaze shifted following it, focusing on one of the three focal points in the arena, Zhou Tianqi.

Zhou Tianqi’s face was solemn, not uttering a single word, only silently raising his bidding paddle.

“Fifty million Tao Points once!”

“Fifty million Tao Points twice!”

“Fifty million Tao Points three times!”

“Congratulations to guest in seat twenty-three for winning this auction item!”

On the auction stage, Zhang Yan called the bids three times, concluded with one swift gavel, without any competition, allowing the Cycle of Heaven Constellation Map and its price of fifty million Tao Points to fall into the hands of Zhou Tianqi.

Despite this, Zhou Tianqi’s face showed not a hint of joy, instead covered with dark clouds, his expression even colder.

“This…”

“He’s really determined to thoroughly offend the Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace and the Zhou Clan!”

“Fifty million Tao Points, isn’t this clearly extortion?”

“It seems he knows the huge significance of the Cycle of Heaven Constellation Map to Zhou Tianqi, which is why he set such a high initial price, clearly intending to bleed Zhou Tianqi dry.”

“Being a critical item, the Hundred Ghosts and Ten Thousand Souls Banner was bid up by Senluo Hall’s people, ending at only twenty-eight thousand points. This Cycle of Heaven Constellation Map starts at fifty million, it seems he really has no intention of reconciling with the Zhou Clan.”

“At this point, talking about reconciliation, do they really think we are three-year-old children?”

“This man has profound schemes and stronger means, if he could rise against the odds, then in the future, the Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace might have a formidable enemy to contend with.”
