Chapter 427: God Path Second Rank Divine Art

Crystal Palace

After Zhang Jian entered, he was led by an elder of the dragon clan inside to the private VIP seat at the front.

From the second floor, he could clearly overlook the sales hall below.

As for this arrangement, Zhang Jian was quite satisfied.

At this moment, the sales event below had already entered the final stage of the first round.

The item being auctioned was a Golden Aperture Divine Pill, used to assist Golden Core cultivators in breaking through to the Yin Spirit realm, and its value was quite high.

Many high-level cultivators below also participated in the bidding.

Obviously, it was the disciples, sect members, or Dao companions of those present who were competing.

After a few minutes of rest, the second round began quickly.

The items auctioned in the second round were primarily treasures ranging from the Yin Spirit stage to the True Lord of the Primordial Spirit level.

These included various kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as magical treasures and spirit treasures.

There were also various kinds of Primordial Spirit immortal arts passed down.

Or special pill formulas and artifact crafting formulas.

The list of these items had already been displayed in advance.

Zhang Jian glanced at it once and then put it down, still keeping his eyes closed to nurture his spirit.

He currently did not lack these.

With the inheritance of the Evening Moon Cave Heaven and the many Primordial Spirit methods he had created, the Great Xia Dynasty had gradually made up for its shortcomings.

What he now needs to make up for is his own shortcomings.

Zhang Jian simply sat alone in the room, inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy, refining his magical power.

His magical power growth rate was extremely fast.

The fusion of the innate Yin Yang law Dao seed allowed his magical power to grow extremely fast throughout his body, aided by the mutated Yin Yang Refining Great Law, making him seem constantly in resonance with the Yin Yang law of heaven and earth.

Absorbing the Yin Yang energy of heaven and earth, diligent cultivation for one day was enough to match what others achieve in several months.

This exaggerated cultivation speed allowed his Primordial Spirit magical power to advance a thousand miles in a day.

……

One hour later, the second round of auction ended in a somewhat intense atmosphere.

For cultivation resources at the Primordial Spirit stage, many high-level cultivators competed fiercely, making this the main battlefield for such competition.

After a quarter of an hour of rest, the third round of auction quickly began.

Only hearing the voice of a dragon clan elder hosting the auction from above, his gaze swept over the crowd as he smiled and said.

"Fellow Daoists, the third round of auction features the climax items. The item list will be brought back and delivered to your rooms by the female attendants in the hall. It has also been posted before the auction hall, so you may first lock in your desired treasures and concentrate your efforts on purchasing them!"

As his words fell, Zhang Jian sensed someone knocking at the door of his private room. Upon opening it, he saw a beautiful clam maiden with a swaying figure slightly bowing.

"Esteemed guest, I am the patrol attendant of the auction house. This is the item list for the third round of auction. Please keep it safe. May I ask if you have any other instructions?"

At this moment, the beautiful clam maiden's eyes revealed a captivating charm.

Zhang Jian waved his hand, directly signaling for the clam maiden to leave on her own.

Casually taking the item list in his hand, Zhang Jian merely glanced at it, and his eyes immediately lit up.

The treasures in this third round of auction were not many, only about ten or so.

But each one was a major treasure.

For example, there were three first-tier immortal treasures: the Sword Artifact Wuji, the Zhou Tian Star Chen Banner, and the Wan Gu Ding.

At this moment, the dragon clan elder below also began introducing the first item of the third round of auction.

On the auction stage below, a huge ancient sword of bluish-gray color was lifted out, and a thick gray sword aura instantly appeared.

As this grand sword intent just emerged, it caused the long swords in the hands of many high-level cultivators below to buzz continuously.

"This is the first-tier immortal treasure Sword Artifact Wuji. It is a first-tier immortal sword, originating from the relics of the Star Emperor beyond the realm, left behind by an immortal after slaying demons. Accompanying it is also the corpse of an extradimensional demon god, the Plague Demon God, who is among the elite of extradimensional demon gods at the True Immortal level, skilled in plague demon poison techniques. The Wuji sword can slay this demon, which shows its miraculous power!"

"After inspection by our dragon clan's strong ones, this Wuji immortal sword is not only extremely sharp, but also contains four first-tier immortal arts within, with immense power, and also contains a first-tier immortal Dao evasion technique—advance to attack, retreat to defend—truly a supreme immortal object for slaying evil and protecting the body!"

"The minimum selling price for this item is seven hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals. Please place your bids!"

"Nine hundred thousand!"

As the words fell, a voice sounded from within a VIP private room on the second floor. Zhang Jian followed the sound and looked over, only to see the figure coming from the opposite side. The high-level cultivator there also opened the restriction on his private room and directly manifested his true form.

It was Qinghe Zhenjun of the Qingcheng Sword Sect.

An old acquaintance of Zhang Jian.

"One million and fifty thousand!"

But immediately after, another voice sounded—this voice was icy cold, carrying a calm and indifferent tone.

This came from another private room.

"The Yu family!"

The voice came from the private room of the Saint King Clan Yu family, precisely the Golden Dragon Granny who previously harbored ill will toward Zhang Jian.

At this moment, she also revealed her form, clearly determined to obtain this sword.

Qinghe Zhenjun also saw the Golden Dragon Granny, and his expression turned somewhat stern.

But the power of the Qingcheng Sword Sect is not inferior to that of the Yu family.

"One million two hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals!"

He showed no weakness.

Upstairs, Zhang Jian coldly watched this scene, his gaze falling on the list in his hand.

This time, besides a few first-tier immortal treasures, there were also three first-tier immortal arts and two second-tier immortal arts up for auction.

What made Zhang Jian quite pleased was that this time, there was indeed a second-tier earth-attribute immortal art available.

That second-rank earth-attribute immortal method also comes from beyond the realm, named Central Wu Earth Great Vitality!

After cultivation, one can greatly mobilize the power of the earth, forming an earth domain.

This is a field-control type earth-attribute immortal method.

Zhang Jian is still quite satisfied with it; this can make up for part of his deficiency.

Besides this, Zhang Jian is also interested in another second-rank immortal method.

That second-rank immortal method is a relatively rare divine path inheritance, called Heavenly Path Tremor!

It is a divine path technique that uses divine authority to link with the heavenly and earthly great Dao laws, temporarily enhancing one's sense between divine authority and heavenly-earthly laws.

Zhang Jian's eyes lingered on this divine path inheritance for a long time.

He currently possesses the authority of a Divine Path Emperor, but lacks matching supreme divine path techniques—indeed, he has none.

If he could purchase this divine path technique, his strength would undoubtedly improve further.

The Divine Path Emperor is a great power of the divine path, with strength far beyond what he currently displays.

"One million six hundred thousand!"

Yet below, after the Golden Dragon Matriarch of the Yu family gritted her teeth and shouted an astonishing price, the Qinghe True Monarch below hesitated for a moment, then finally gave up on continuing to bid.

On the stage, the dragon clan elder shouted loudly.

"One million six hundred thousand for the second time, one million six hundred thousand for the third time—congratulations to the Daoist friend of Bidder Yi-3 for winning the first immortal treasure of the third round, congratulations, Daoist friend!"

As the words fell, someone soon went up on stage, repackaged this auction item, and sent it to the Yu family's private box.

Other high-rank cultivators seeing this scene secretly shook their heads.

Purchasing a first-rank immortal treasure for one million six hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals is already an overprice of three to four hundred thousand or more.

Adding the auction house's nearly ten percent commission, the final payment required is one million seven hundred sixty thousand top-grade spirit crystals.

No matter how you look at it, it's not cost-effective.

No wonder the Golden Dragon Matriarch of the Yu family has a grim expression.

Following the auction were the Zhou Tian Star Banner and the Wan Gu Ding, two first-rank immortal treasures.

These two treasures were respectively auctioned off for one million nine hundred thousand and one million four hundred fifty thousand top-grade spirit crystals by two high-rank great cultivators.

Among the three first-rank immortal treasures, the Zhou Tian Star Banner had the highest price.

This first-rank immortal treasure has the strongest versatility, as it combines offense and defense and can also form a Zhou Tian Star Banner protective law formation.

After the auction of the two first-rank immortal treasures concluded, next came three first-rank immortal methods.

The attributes of these three first-rank immortal methods are wind, fire, and earth respectively.

The wind attribute is the Qingming Xun Wind Evasion Method.

This is a first-rank evasion-type immortal method; its speed is extremely fast, capable of creating seven or eight wind-attribute avatars to distract pursuers.

Its appearance attracted many Yuan Shen True Monarchs, even drawing the attention of two ancient true immortals from the Dao lineages of immortal sects.

Although Zhang Jian possesses a wind spiritual root, having obtained the second-rank Taiyin Rainbow Light Great Method, he lacks interest in this.

The remaining first-rank fire immortal method is "Phoenix's Wrath," and the first-rank earth-attribute immortal method is Gravity Heavenly Star.

Zhang Jian actually has some interest in fire-attribute immortal methods, after all he wields the Heavenly Realm Pure Fire, a powerful immortal divine fire; if combined with a high-rank fire-attribute immortal method, it could form another powerful killing move.

However, the Phoenix Spirit Mountain deity mentioned to him that she had awakened part of the Phoenix inheritance, which includes Phoenix clan fire-attribute immortal methods.

At that time, he could get it for "free ride"!

Zhang Jian thus had no thought of spending on high-rank purchases.

……

After the auction of the three first-rank immortal methods concluded, next came the two second-rank immortal methods that Zhang Jian had long desired.

"Next up for auction is the second-rank earth-attribute immortal method Central Wu Earth Great Vitality; this second-rank immortal method is a large-scale field-control type immortal method, likewise originating from the collection of a true immortal beyond the realm, its starting bid is one million two hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals, bidding now begins!"

As the words of the dragon clan elder on the auction stage slightly faded, immediately many high-rank cultivators turned their attention.

However, for this field-control type earth-attribute immortal method, people's associations are relatively conservative; aside from true Yuan Shen True Monarchs whose foundation is truly the earth and earth-attribute, even earth deities, other high-rank cultivators do not value it highly.

In the private box, Zhang Jian at this moment directly spoke up.

"Two million top-grade spirit crystals!"

Upon speaking, he raised the price of this second-rank immortal method to two million.

Given the value of second-rank immortal methods, two million top-grade spirit crystals is not excessive.

At this moment, in the private box on the left, a deity whose body flowed with divine light slightly furrowed his brows, yet still spoke.

"Two million one hundred thousand top-grade spirit crystals!"

He is a deity from the State and Path Divine Path, a third-rank deity.

This journey is also for the sake of earth-attribute immortal methods; he had previously purchased that first-rank earth-attribute immortal method, but likewise wishes to contend for this second-rank earth-attribute immortal method.

"Two million three hundred fifty thousand top-grade spirit crystals!"

Zhang Jian still calmly and steadily increased the price, adding over two hundred fifty thousand spirit crystals in one go.

Zhang Jian at this moment can truly be described as wealthy and bold.

The quantity of top-grade spirit crystals stored in the treasury left behind by the Xiyue Sword Sect is not in the millions, but in the hundreds of millions.

Nearly three to four hundred million top-grade spirit crystals—this number, for the immortal sect Dao lineages of this realm, is almost incomparable.

Perhaps only the wealth accumulated by the Tongshan Dao lineage, such a transcendent immortal sect Dao lineage, could be compared to it.

With such confidence, he fears no great power.

Perhaps sensing Zhang Jian's wealth and boldness, the third-rank deity below hesitated for a moment, yet then ceased bidding.

Jiuyue Shenjun gazed at the item list in his hand.

He represents not himself, but the Earth Origin Patrol Envoy among the Four Great Patrol Envoys of the State and Path Divine Path.

His father places even greater importance on the upcoming second-rank divine technique Heavenly Path Tremor!

The "Heavenly Path Tremor" is a method of authority application that high-ranking deities must possess.

The "Heavenly Path Tremor" before them has superior amplification range, multiplier, and stability, and the Earth Element Patrol Envoy is determined to obtain it.

On the auction platform, after several rounds of bidding calls with no further offers, the dragon elder on the high platform suddenly shouted loudly.

"Two hundred thirty-five thousand, third time! Congratulations to the guest of Jia Character Number Nine for purchasing the second-tier earth-attribute immortal law《Central Wu Earth Great Vitality》!"

He smiled, signaled to a nearby dragon deity to seal the secret technique, then immediately took out another jade slip with flowing divine light, raised his hand slightly holding this flowing divine light green jade slip, and shouted loudly.

"Fellow Daoists, the next item up for auction is a second-tier divine technique. Everyone knows the difference between second-tier divine techniques and second-tier immortal laws: it offers exceptional advantages to Daoists who wield divine authority, amplifying divine authority and reducing the burden of heavenly and earthly great Dao laws on the divine body!"

"This divine path divine technique originates from the ancient god relics of this realm, created by primordial gods and demons, with the starting bid still at one hundred twenty thousand!"
