Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Shen Yuan immediately thought of the biggest backer of the Treasure Drop Mercantile Association, the Black Tiger Xuantan Warrior God of Wealth, who had already ascended to the Golden Immortal Stage.

The rumors that the Warrior God of Wealth placed great importance on this auction across realms were not false.

As the statue of the Black Tiger Mountain Lord revealed itself, Shen Yuan suddenly discovered that their private room had come to a halt above this central land, and the numerous private rooms had transformed into gigantic meteors hovering in space.

"Is this the Void Illusion Realm?"

"It is said that the Void Immortal Ferry can evolve such illusions, making those who are within experience the changes of the void, but this is my first time seeing it."

"The Treasure Drop Mercantile Association truly has profound resources."

Shen Yuan observed the many meteors around them, those suspended in space corresponding to the "Sky" private rooms at the very top of the Treasure Drop Pavilion.

Below them, more cultivators were situated on pieces of fragmented land, representing the "Earth" private rooms.

Far beyond the land, in the starry sky twinkling with countless stars, lay the small sects and loose cultivators, the most numerous at the auction across realms.

When the gathered starlight had been fully lit, the statue of the Black Tiger Mountain Lord, as imposing as a towering mountain, quietly disappeared into the void.

The beautiful woman standing in the center of the land fluttered her captivating eyes and slowly said,

"The Treasure Drop Pavilion's auction across realms now officially begins!"

Her clear and pleasant voice echoed throughout the Void Illusion Realm, and within her seemingly ordinary words seemed to contain a sound that provoked the desires of the heart.

The auctioneer reached into the void with her right hand, and a treasure chest fell from the void into her hand.

"This is the first item of the auction across realms, a seventh-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, the Taixuan Golden Crow Stone!"

The treasure chest slowly opened, and a fist-sized jade stone, flashing with a brilliance akin to the sun's light, appeared before everyone's eyes.

"The Taixuan Golden Crow Stone is a rare seventh-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of the realms, not only used as the main material for crafting Taoist artifacts, but its inherent Golden Crow essence can refine the body, allowing cultivators to more easily comprehend Divine Secret Skills related to the sun.

With the difficult path of Dao, having the Taixuan Golden Crow Stone for assistance can double the effect on the understanding of the Taiyang Path!"

Even though it was known that the auction across realms was of high caliber and rare in all the realms, the first item being such a precious seventh-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure still moved all the powers present.

"Starting bid: three hundred immortal jades!"

The Primal Chaos Realm, still in its prime, had waged wars across realms, with over a hundred Tiny Diverse Worlds under the domination of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty alone.

With the resources provided by the realms, basic resources like spirit stones were never in short supply; rather, it was those rare spirit materials that could only be produced in middle to large Diverse Worlds that were extremely scarce, and no amount of ordinary spirit stones could buy high-grade spirit objects.

In this scenario, immortal jades containing Immortal Spirit Qi from the Upper World became a hard currency.

Immortals wishing to remain in the lower world must have a large supply of immortal jades to provide Immortal Spirit Qi, making immortal jades a true strategic material for all the top powers.

In theory, one immortal jade could at least be exchanged for ten thousand spirit stones, but in true transactions, no one was willing to trade immortal jades for spirit stones.

As the low starting bid of three hundred immortal jades echoed, a series of bids immediately rang out in the Void Illusion Realm.

"Three hundred and one!"

"Three hundred and three!"

"Four hundred!"

...

The bids were called out one after another, and the competition was fierce.

Even the private rooms on the meteors, the "Sky" rooms, joined the competition.

The price quickly reached six hundred immortal jades, a figure that was unimaginable for loose cultivators.

Even small sects with a thousand years of heritage might not be able to produce so many immortal jades, and the majority of the bidding voices gradually faded, with the remaining competitors concentrated among the private rooms labeled "Sky" and "Earth."

"Seven hundred and twenty immortal jades!"

Private room "Sky" twenty-three bid the final price, and the auctioneer brought down the hammer.

"The Taixuan Golden Crow Stone has been successfully obtained by the distinguished guest in private room 'Sky' number twenty-three!"

As the first item's ownership was determined, many looked towards private room "Sky" number twenty-three.

When Shen Yuan saw the power within that room, he couldn't help but flash a look of surprise in his eyes.

The power within private room "Sky" number twenty-three was one of the 36 Territories' great sects, the Taiyi Sect.

Even though the Taiyi Sect was not among the grotto heavens sacred lands, its foundation seemed to be related to the Taiyang Palace of the Upper World; their sect's revered text, the "Taiyi Yuanhe Method," could refine the body with the rhythm of the Great Sun, making it one of the most superior methods in the lower world.

It is said that if one can cultivate the "Taiyi Yuanhe Method" and ascend to the realm of Tao Harmony, they may have the hope of being conferred divine status by the Upper World and be listed above in the Register of Immortals.

The reason Shen Yuan knew so much about the Taiyi Sect was that, after ten thousand years, the Taiyi Sect was destroyed. Its sacred text, "Taiyi Yuanhe Method," was lost to the outside world, obtained by the Hoe Family of the Heaven Traversing Sect, and eventually Xia Yunqiu engraved it in the Enlightenment Pavilion to spread it widely throughout Great Xia.

"The people from the Taiyi Sect have secured the Taixuan Golden Crow Stone; they probably want to comprehend the essence of the Golden Crow within it to ponder the Taiyang Path and thereby cultivate the 'Taiyi Yuanhe Method'."

"It's just a pity that the Taiyi Sect does not possess the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power; otherwise, one could try to get the method of cultivation and, after ten thousand years, it would be a complete Earthly Destroyer Divine Power."

As the first auction item was secured by the Taiyi Sect, the atmosphere of the auction began to heat up gradually.

"The next item for auction is the second one, a Cloud Baleen Whale calf from the Cloud Sea Realm."

"The Cloud Baleen Whale is a naturally born heavenly beast, which at the time of its birth is already dozens of meters in size, and its cultivation base can reach the Qi Training Stage.

Once the Cloud Baleen Whale reaches adulthood, it can grow to a thousand meters in size, and its cultivation base can also reach the Spirit Refining Stage.

If a sect purchases and tames it, they can construct a spiritual tower or a law pavilion on its back. With the Cloud Baleen Whale as the foundation, they can establish a sect's dwelling, capable of entering the Green Abyss and roaming the Ninth Heavens!"

"The Cloud Baleen Whale calf, starting bid two hundred immortal jades!"

"Two hundred and thirty immortal jades!"

"I bid two hundred and fifty!"

"Three hundred immortal jades!"

...

Speaking strictly in terms of value, although the Cloud Baleen Whale is mystical, it is far less precious than a seventh-order Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

Its adult power at the Spirit Refining Stage is not considered a great deal for the top grotto heavens sacred ground.

If one really placed a sect's dwelling on the Cloud Baleen Whale, just by locating the whale's position and sending a few Spirit Refining True Beings, the sect's dwelling could be easily destroyed.

Its enormous body, that can reach thousands of meters, is not easy to hide; on the contrary, it is more of a drawback.

But for other sects outside the grotto heavens sacred ground, the value of the Cloud Baleen Whale is incomparably higher.

After reaching adulthood, its Spirit Refining Stage cultivation is not considered top-tier, but it is still strong enough to be called a regional Demon King and protect the sect's inheritance for thousands of years.

Moreover, the Cloud Baleen Whale can traverse the Cloud Sea and enter the Ninth Heavens, gathering many rare spirit objects.

Medium and small sects have a small scope and can easily establish their dwellings on the whale's back. By that time, the whole Cloud Baleen Whale can serve as a massive war fortress.

It is precisely because of these characteristics that are highly valuable to small sects, the price of the Cloud Baleen Whale has soared.

Inside the "Sky" private room, no one made a bid, but among the cultivators in the "Earth" and "Human" private rooms, there was incessant competition.

In the end, the Cloud Baleen Whale calf was sold at a high price of one thousand and thirty immortal jades, completely igniting the entire cross-realm auction event.

Afterward, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Divine Secret Skills, spirit treasures, and Taoist artifacts were continuously brought out at the auction, fetching high prices amid the contention of all parties.

When the thirtieth auction item was brought out, the Treasure Drop Mercantile Association even presented an Immortal Artifact that had descended from the Upper World.

In the Primal Chaos Realm, all Immortal Artifacts have owners, and artifacts like the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword contain legacies that could create cultivation traditions lasting for tens of thousands of years.

This Immortal Artifact from the Upper World was not an ancestral artifact, but it had an extraordinary origin. It was the Star-Shifting Banner belonging to the Constellation Bureau Star God, imbued with the power of the Constellation Path to manipulate the stars of the heavens.

This Immortal Artifact led to a fierce competition between the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and the Constellation Path, ultimately being acquired by the Heavenly Secret Pavilion for the price of three hundred thousand immortal jades.

Such extravagance astonished even Ji Zhaoyang.

"The current Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion has been in control of the Star Astrology Divine Power for hundreds of years, but not long ago, it was rumored that he wished to enter seclusion in order to attempt a breakthrough to the Tao Harmony Stage.

The Eastern Glory Divine Monarch had visited multiple times before, but never once saw the secluded Pavilion Master."

"This Star-Shifting Banner is related to the Constellation Path; the Heavenly Secret Pavilion must have acquired this item in hopes of aiding the Pavilion Master's breakthrough to the Tao Harmony."

Upon hearing this news, Shen Yuan's expression became quite odd.

In the Primal Chaos Realm, perhaps no one was clearer about the reason than Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan was well aware that the absence of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's Master was not at all for the breakthrough to the Tao Harmony Stage.

The true controller of the Star Astrology Divine Power now was Shen Yuan, and each era could only have one master of this divine power.

Affected by the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power, the only one this world, the Pavilion Master had long since fallen into a deep slumber.

The disciples of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion were probably already in disarray. The so-called seclusion for a breakthrough and the acquisition of the Star-Shifting Banner were merely efforts to bolster their appearance.
