Chapter 1171

At the same time, he began crafting a new spatial divine artifact—this one was a sword, inscribed with some spatial secret patterns.

Spatial secret patterns, not spatial laws.

Setting spatial laws on a sword would be extravagant, so Fang Yu blurred the spatial laws he had comprehended into spatial secret patterns; for ordinary people, deducing spatial laws from these secret patterns would still be quite difficult.

Just as Fang Yu was crafting the new spatial divine artifact, in an auction within the Virtual Universe world, the appearance of the Spatial Divine Hammer caused a tremendous stir.

"There's actually such a treasure! Good stuff, good stuff—I must bid for this treasure at any cost. I have a feeling that if I obtain this hammer, I'll be able to comprehend the mysteries of space!"

"Pass the word down—mobilize all the Qian Cai from the treasury, sell off all those useless star domains. I must fight for this treasure!"

"Such dense spatial power—I can almost see it with my naked eyes. I'll bid, three hundred Hunyuan units!"

At this auction, the titans of every universe went mad. They stared at the Spatial Divine Hammer, which displayed spatial laws, sparing no expense. One World Lord even directly called out a price of three hundred Hunyuan units.

"Five hundred Hunyuan units! Nobody compete with me!"

"Hmph, if this old man obtains this treasure, I can comprehend spatial laws. If you want to compete with me in wealth, that's a fool's dream!"

Another great figure spoke up—no one knew whether he was the lord of some universe nation or a titan of some great power—but at this moment he directly shouted a price of one thousand Hunyuan units.

"One thousand Hunyuan units—who wants to fight me for it?"

This great figure roared wildly.

Once this price was called out, many great figures immediately fell silent. A price of one thousand Hunyuan units was no small sum.

"Two thousand, Hunyuan units."

Just then, an elder spoke up, and with his very first words he doubled the price.

Two thousand Hunyuan units!

Such a price was simply not something an ordinary World Lord could quote. Anyone who could quote two thousand Hunyuan units like that was very likely an... Undying.

"Two thousand Hunyuan units..."

Even the great figure who had previously bid one thousand Hunyuan units fell silent. This price was too steep, and he knew that whoever could casually call out two thousand Hunyuan units was not someone he could afford to provoke.

"Congratulations, Mr., on winning the Spatial Divine Hammer for two thousand Hunyuan units!"

A pleasant voice rang out.

The Spatial Divine Hammer—a Spatial Divine Hammer casually forged by Fang Yu—was sold at an astronomical price in this world.

"Ding, you have received an email."

Not long after, Fang Yu, who was cultivating on Bai Lanxing, received an email.

His gaze swept over it, and he saw the email read: "Dear customer, hello. Your consciousness-bound account at our bank has just received a remittance of 1998 Hunyuan units. If you require investment or financial services, please contact us.

Cosmic Star River Bank"

"1998 Hunyuan units? Good heavens."

Fang Yu looked at the change in his savings, shock written all over his face. He had never imagined that a single spatial divine artifact could be auctioned for such a price.

1998 Hunyuan units?

This price was simply too high—it had completely exceeded its value, by dozens of times over.

One Hunyuan unit was worth one trillion universe coins, and one trillion universe coins could buy far, far too many planets.

Now Fang Yu had suddenly obtained 1998 Hunyuan units—instantly becoming immensely wealthy.

"According to the rules of the Cosmic Star River Bank, once deposits reach ten thousand Hunyuan units, the account can be upgraded to a four-star account. I want to upgrade to a four-star account in the shortest possible time—that way my account will be much safer."

Fang Yu pondered, then began forging more spatial divine artifacts.

His comprehension of space had already reached an extremely profound realm. Of course, a great Dao mystery like spatial laws could not be comprehended to its absolute limit. Even though Fang Yu had comprehended three thousand spatial laws in the Eternal Life Realm and cultivated spatial laws to the Grand Perfection realm, once his realm advanced, that perfection became imperfection—and then he could once again comprehend those imperfect spatial laws back to perfection.

This cycle, repeated over and over, would eventually bring his comprehension of spatial laws to an ultimate extreme.

Now, Fang Yu forging spatial divine artifacts was also a form of comprehending spatial laws. The spatial laws of this world differed somewhat from those of the Eternal Life Realm, and as Fang Yu comprehended them now, his own Dao cultivation also improved greatly.

And one spatial divine artifact after another—Spatial Hook, Spatial Sickle, Spatial Spear, Spatial Pearl, and so on—all eighteen types of weapons were forged by Fang Yu and auctioned off one by one.

Fang Yu didn't know whether the great figures in those Virtual Universes would be shocked at how so many spatial treasures had appeared in such a short time, but he didn't care.

Every spatial divine artifact was a necessity, a supreme treasure. After all these artifacts were auctioned off, Fang Yu's total assets reached twelve thousand Hunyuan units.

Yes, twelve thousand Hunyuan units.

He was now a four-star user.

He now possessed more privileges.

"Now, I finally have a modest fortune."

Fang Yu's consciousness directly entered the Virtual Universe. Without pausing, he went from Black Longshan Island to the Qianwu Continent, arriving at a Floating Sky City.

He had spent the past few months forging spatial divine artifacts, and now he had arrived at the place where the auction would begin.

It was an incomparably elegant landmass, suspended in clouds and mist. The entire Floating Sky City was exceedingly beautiful, with flowers and plants visible everywhere. And the most dazzling feature of the entire Floating Sky City was the colossal building—the Auction Hall.

The Qianwu Auction, held once every three years, was always held in this Auction Hall.

"Mr., hello, welcome to this session of the Qianwu Auction. Here is your seat number."

A sweet, respectful voice rang out. Fang Yu stood among the crowd, queuing forward along with the others.

One after another, people arrived to attend the auction—some dressed in splendid finery, some in ancient simplicity, some with serpentine bodies, some towering seven or eight meters tall.

A sea of people. Most were three-star clients, most were World Lords; only a few were great merchants or young people with extraordinary backgrounds.

"Zunta, the last session had 1.2 million attendees. Do you think this one will surpass that?"

In front of Fang Yu, a giant man ten zhang tall, his entire body wreathed in flames, spoke up.

"It will definitely surpass 1.2 million. I heard that this year there's a slot for entering the Initial Universe for comprehension—and it's a slot for World Lords, allowing World Lords to comprehend. Many Undying-level experts have come, wanting to buy this slot."

In front of that giant man, a man shrouded entirely in a robe said in a raspy voice.

"The Initial Universe—that's a good thing. Unfortunately, we probably won't have a chance. In this world, the one thing there's no shortage of is rich people."

The two discussed.

In other places, many World Lords who knew each other were also discussing.

"The Star Domain Secret Realm is truly too dangerous. The eighteen Realm Lords who went in to explore, only three luckily escaped. The remaining fifteen might not come out for tens of thousands of years, or might never come out at all."

"I heard you obtained great benefits in a Secret Realm. I'm afraid it won't be long before you break through to Realm Lord!"

"Not at all, not at all. The path of immortality is truly too difficult, far too difficult. I only hope that before my lifespan runs out, I can break through!"

"..."

Many experts discussed among themselves, and soon Fang Yu arrived at the front of the line.

"Mr., hello. Welcome to this session of the Qianwu Auction. Here is your seat number."

Fang Yu took a token. On this black token was a semi-transparent screen, with a seat number written on it: KGA92817.

Fang Yu then stepped into the auction hall. Wherever his gaze reached, there were seats everywhere, each seat six meters wide and ten meters tall.

Fang Yu sensed that there were roughly over three million seats here, arranged in ring after ring, as if countless seats made up an entire world.

"KGA92817."

Fang Yu saw his seat and sat down.

He had finally arrived at the virtual world where the Qianwu Universe Nation was located. This universe nation had over thirteen thousand star domains. The Black Longshan Star Domain alone had nearly a hundred Realm Lords. The entire Qianwu Nation averaged over a million Realm Lords. Of course, the number of Realm Lords within the Qianwu Universe Nation itself was likely even higher, making the total number of Realm Lords in the entire Qianwu Universe Nation probably reach two or three million.

Now, here, Fang Yu could see what it truly meant for Realm Lords to be as common as dogs.

"Everyone!"

A clear voice instantly spread out, echoing through the entire auction hall, and the vast auction hall immediately fell silent.

In the center of the auction hall stood a bald old man, an elder carrying a black tortoise shell on his back.

"Welcome everyone to this session of the Qianwu Auction. First, I must thank the Virtual Universe Company, the Universe First Bank, the Universe Star River Bank, the Giant Axe Combat Arena, the Universe Yongbinglian Alliance, and the Qianwu Universe Nation for their strong support."

The elder smiled and said, "Many of you must already know me. I am Old Barto. Once again, it is I who will be hosting this top-tier grand event for you all."

"No more idle chatter! The official start time of this auction is about to arrive. First, let us hold one auction as a warm-up."

The tortoise-shell elder pointed his finger to one side, and a massive screen immediately appeared. On the screen appeared a galaxy of breathtaking beauty. Within this galaxy were countless life-bearing planets, and upon those life-bearing planets were many powerful beings.

"This is the Geta Star Domain. Among the thirteen thousand-plus star domains of our Qianwu Universe Nation, it ranks toward the back. The entire star domain contains a total of 800 galaxies and is the territory of an Immortal powerhouse. However, this Immortal powerhouse now needs to undertake a risky matter, so he has entrusted us with the auction of this Geta Star Domain."

The tortoise-shell elder shouted loudly.

The auction hall erupted in an uproar.

Fang Yu also watched with some curiosity. After all, auctioning off an entire star domain—eight hundred galaxies—right from the start was truly extravagant.

"Although the Geta Star Domain is somewhat remote, it is still quite good. As long as we abide by the rules of the Qianwu Universe Nation, we can receive the protection of the Qianwu Universe Nation."

"Such a star domain can absolutely serve as a foundation for a family's legacy over hundreds of millions of years. It can cultivate who knows how many great armies, and can also raise countless slaves. I wonder what the starting price is."

"It is indeed a good thing, but my financial resources are probably insufficient. For an auction of an entire star domain like this, even if I swallowed it whole, it would be meaningless. A martial artist still has to become strong on their own first."

"Starting price—300 Hunyuan units."

Right at this moment, the tortoise-shell elder shouted loudly, "Each bid increment must be at least 1 Hunyuan unit."

Immediately, a line of text appeared on the large screen beside them—"300 Hunyuan units."
