Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1039: 634 Chapter: Curtain Call_2 Chapter 1039: 634 Chapter: Curtain Call_2 “Hmph, now that he has taken things this far, how could Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace simply let him grow unchecked?”

“Now he’s a Second Order Wudi, naturally uncontrollable, but what about after the Second Order? Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Orders, even the Seventh and Eighth Orders, can he remain invincible indefinitely?”

“The higher the rank, the greater the disparity. If he continues to be reckless, he will inevitably play with fire and burn himself!”

“Even Xuanyu Taoist Palace, a sworn enemy, knows to stop at the right point and isn’t making things difficult with Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace at this moment, yet he persistently violates the rules, truly thinking the Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace has no way to deal with him?”

Zhou Tianqi’s face was dark like water, and he didn’t utter a word, while people around whispered nonstop.

Not to mention the major powers, even the Independent People sensed the tense atmosphere.

“Who is this person, looking so upset?”

“He’s the favored son of the Zhou Clan, the direct descendant of the Heaven-connecting Palace Master.”

“Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice, not only failing in his attack but also having his own territory snatched away, now having to spend a huge sum to redeem what was originally his, no wonder he looks terrible.”

“He has so deeply offended his own Zhou Clan and Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace, isn’t he afraid of their thunderous methods in the future?”

“Maybe hold off on exchanging Ten Thousand Dao Points. This man is so reckless; he might be shattered to pieces in the future; we can’t afford to follow him into utter loss.”

“Hmph, what’s so great about Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace, it allows them to oppress others but doesn’t allow others to respond?”

“If it were me, I wouldn’t even let that kid live to make it back here.”

“Having the nerve to show that sulky face here, if you have the guts, don’t lose. What’s there to say after losing, such a big guy, acting like a giant baby, a so-called favored son my ass!”

Observing Zhou Tianqi’s expression, the attitudes of the Independent People varied.

But these opinions wouldn’t affect the situation. The auction continued with another item being presented.

“Next, please welcome the seventy-sixth item, an exclusive from our Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion.”

“The Overbearing Mechanism Car!”

Zhang Yan gracefully gestured, displaying its attributes—a piece of Mechanical Siege Equipment.

“Those familiar with our Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion know that we regularly sell the First-order Epic Gongshu Thunderbolt Car. This Overbearing Mechanism Car is an advanced version of that.”

“As a Second Order Legendary Equipment, the Overbearing Mechanism Car surpasses the Gongshu Mechanical City and similar rank siege machinery in range, power, speed, and precision. Whether for attacking and seizing territories or defending one’s own, it can have significant effects.”

“This auction, sold in a set of three, starts at ten million dao points, with each increase not less than one million dao points.”

“This…”

Seeing the attributes of the Overbearing Mechanism Car and hearing Zhang Yan’s words, the crowd frowned.

Only the Independent Lords were visibly excited, starting to bid actively.

The Overbearing Mechanism Car, as a piece of Legendary Equipment, is formidable, terrifying in its range, and if operated correctly, even mythical heroes must avoid its sharp edge.

Although to the lords listed in the hundreds and thousands on the Reputation List, mythical heroes are just another parcel, how many such lords are there?

Ordinary people are always the majority; the vast majority of lords use Common Heroes and Rare Heroes. Epic Heroes are already a sign of a “decent master,” let alone Legendary Heroes.

Though the Overbearing Mechanism Car is not a Legendary Hero, it can defend against and even annihilate Legendary Heroes. Its value goes without saying, making it extremely tempting to the Independent Lords. Many lords who missed out on items like the Star Sword Order and Netherworld Tao Order started competing for it directly.

“1.5 million, three times!”

“Congratulations to the guest at seat number 342!”

The competition was intense, but it stopped at a very appropriate price.

“The next item for auction—Youthful Spring!”

“The next item for auction—Great Rejuvenation Talisman!”

“The next item for auction—Great Heavenly Thunder Talisman!”

“The next item for auction…”

Another batch of mid-range items were presented, featuring weapons, treasures, and troop heroes alike, inciting fierce competition among the Independent Lords and causing the major powers to frown heavily.

Although these were only mid-to-low-level items, they differed from the previous batch as they were not products of war plunder but of self-production.

This was a display of different strength, showing not just military plundering ability but also economic production capacity.

Though expected, it wasn’t trivial. As part of the opponents’ comprehensive strategies, everyone could clearly feel a tight and powerful system taking shape, exerting its influence and attractiveness.

This was not a good sign because they had also traversed this path initially, from a group to an organization, from an organization to a system, and eventually becoming a colossal entity.

Ambition, ambition, they saw a brimming ambition, a desirous hand competing with them for profit.

Yet they were helpless, able only to let it burgeon, and even helped it along.

“Now, please welcome the last item for auction, a Mythical Rank hero prisoner—Liu Xiu!”

In the undercurrent, the final item was brought onto the high platform, a prisoner card, a Mythical Hero prisoner card.

“Emperor-type Mythical Hero—Liu Xiu!”

“An Emperor-type Mythical Hero, not only excellent in attribute growth and heroic skills but also capable of transforming territories into the special civilization of Divine Han, and summoning Golden Hammer Gongsun Yang and Yuntai Twenty-Eight Generals, to conduct a divine mandate, accepting commands from Heavenly Star, equivalent to one top-tier Legendary General and twenty-eight above-average Legendary Heroes…”

“Starting bid, one hundred million Ten Thousand Dao Points, with each increment no less than ten million Ten Thousand Dao Points!”

“One hundred and ten million!”

“One hundred and twenty million!”

“One hundred and thirty million!”

Before Zhang Yan had finished, the crowd below had already begun to bid, with major powers decisively acting and rapidly raising the price to a towering one hundred and thirty million.

Such a sight made Tantai Qin, one of the three focal figures at the venue, with a cold expression, and murder in her eyes, decisively raise her placard to compete: “One hundred and fifty million!”

Among the ten lords present, she had suffered the greatest loss. Although everyone’s assets had been wiped clean, her assets were clearly higher than those of Zhou Tianqi and Ning Bozhong.

After all, Liu Xiu, as a Mythical Hero, was inherently valuable, not to mention the Imperial Four-Piece Set on him, translating to losses of at least ten pieces of Divine Equipment, a true bankruptcy.

But now, regret was useless, she could only fiercely glance at Zhou Tianqi, then threw herself into the bidding.

Thus…

“One hundred and eighty million!”

“One hundred and ninety million!”

“Two hundred million!”

“…”

“Sold for two hundred and ten million!”

“Congratulations to client in seat eighteen for acquiring this precious item!”

The struggle ended, and this Mythical Emperor was ultimately redeemed by Tantai Qin for two hundred and ten million.

Seeing the slightly pale and intensely beautiful Tantai Qin, people could only shake their heads in silence.

“Two hundred and ten million.”

“Way overpaid!”

“Considering it’s a Mythical Hero, and an Emperor-type Mythical Hero at that, such a price is reasonable.”

“Although the Kunlun Immortal Realm and Great Ye families are huge, and this loss isn’t too significant, it might put considerable pressure on Tantai Qin personally, affecting her status within the Tantai family.”

“Having suffered such a major loss, one wonders if the Tantai family will seek revenge?”

“I heard they intend to reconcile with that person, turning confrontation into peace.”

“They naturally intend to reconcile, after all, Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace is taking the lead. If there are enemies, Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace can help them retaliate. If Heaven-connecting Immortal Palace can’t retaliate, they can still clear themselves and play a good strategic game.”

“However craftily they play the game, they still suffered a major loss, did they not?”

People whispered, about to rise and leave.

However…

“Thank you all for your attendance, the Ten Thousand Dao Conference hereby concludes!”

Atop the high platform, Zhang Yan chuckled lightly: “The next conference is anticipated to be held in ten years. During that period, the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion will sporadically offer some rare items, but only accepting transactions in Ten Thousand Dao Points.”

“Ten Thousand Dao Points can be exchanged at any time, with ratios adjusted according to the market. Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion will provide better service and more merchandise, ensuring the market value of your Ten Thousand Dao Points!”

“Welcome everyone to join the big family of Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion…”

With these words and named strategies, many Independent Lords and Civilian Lords’ eyes glowed.

Only various factions, with dark expressions, left brusquely.

For the first time, they realized that an auction could be so infuriating.
