Chapter 373: Niemeng Path (In honor of Alliance Leader Yan Xi!)

The vast auction hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone's gaze was unconsciously drawn by the 'aura' radiated by those three existences.

"In occultism... due to the differences in the level of the Primordial Substance, the area around a high-ranking existence is like a vortex, or even... an abyss!"

Aaron likewise focused his attention on these three existences.

One of them wore a deep blue religious robe with a White Tower-style emblem on it; he had a broad forehead, bright eyes, and appeared the most elderly, yet seemed rich in wisdom from having weathered many storms.

He is the Chief of the 'White Tower'—Hanote Aige!

The one in the center wore a pitch-black robe, giving off a feeling of cold, deathly stillness, especially to Liliyat nearby, who did not even dare to look directly at the other party.

Aaron heard the sound of Tias sighing.

Aaron maintained an expression of watching a good show the entire way, until Banji introduced the next auction item, a fragmentary Secret Transmission that looked as if it were cast from the light of dusk—"A secret text recording the mystery of the dusk; according to appraisal, it is perhaps related to the rumored Chapter of the Sun's Fall... 1000 Pounds!"

Liliyat asked curiously.

"Being able to cooperate with the Invis Kingdom, these three ancient Cults are also among the most powerful of all secret societies; the three leaders will undoubtedly be the first Popes of the three future churches!"

Some of them were even difficult for Aaron to discern the true background of.

Aaron smiled in response; in reality, this was 'food' he had prepared for himself, and he felt that after eating it, he would be just about satisfied to meet the requirements for opening the Fifth Primordial Substance.

"This is a huge deterrent!"

Aaron also placed a bid once, using a price of 6300 Pounds to snap up a batch of rather miscellaneous Spirit Materials.

"I seriously suspect that the major powers in the Black Queen District are secretly paying protection money to the Royal Family."

The last one was a beautiful woman wearing a pure white religious robe, with long, slender legs, gorgeous features, and a meticulous expression, giving one the feeling of an ice-cold beauty.

It must be said that after advancing to 'Furnace', his improvement was like riding a fire rocket.

Not long after, he saw the 'Love God Ring' sold for a price of 20,500 Pounds, pocketed by a man dressed quite gorgeously.

Of course, he did not have that much money on him, but Tias would provide Pound support for this transaction.

Finally, under the gaze of all, an elderly man with platinum hair wearing a formal black tailcoat walked gracefully onto the auction stage: "Ladies and gentlemen... it is an honor to host this Faust Grand Auction, I am Banji Suoduoma!"

Indeed, although the newspapers said it would be made public to the masses at the end of May, in the Hidden Realm, this news would undoubtedly arrive early.

"This is a material trade between major powers... lone wolves don't have much interest." Aaron curled his lips: "Those bidding now are eight-tenths likely to be spokespeople for secret societies."

Aaron thought about this strength and felt a bit of a toothache.

Liliyat stuck out her tongue: "5 gallons is almost enough just to take a bath."

Among them, a unique Secret Transmission that recorded the 'Niemeng Path' and was guaranteed by the auction house to be able to advance all the way to the Sixth Primordial Substance, sold for the high price of 50,000 Pounds!

Next, another batch of large-scale, low-tier Spirit Materials were auctioned off one after another.

"'Spirit Spring Water'? It seems it can be used when making some potions, but a single dose is only a few drops..."

"Invis, by introducing the three True God Churches, although it compromised with the Hidden Realm to a certain extent, it will undoubtedly become even more powerful!"

The Arch-Patriarch of the 'Cult of Death'—Buzige Hashi!

"Generally speaking, an auction always starts by bringing out some nice boutique items..."

On the auction stage, Banji Suoduoma had already begun to introduce the first lot: "'Love God Ring'—Non-human Level Magical Item, its ability is 'Charm Creature', which is difficult for those below ordinary Non-human level to resist; it once had a track record of controlling a Fourth Primordial Substance Spirit World Creature with its power... the negative effect is that it will make the user become increasingly narcissistic. Starting price 10,000 Pounds, each increment must be no less than 100 Pounds!"

Aaron heard an Extraordinary at the table next to him muttering to himself.

There was also Witch Infatuation Water, Grey Bone Oil, Filthy Swelling Knot, insect shells of the Night Worm...

Offstage, Tias commented indifferently: "The negative effect of this Non-human Grade Strange Object is very small, and the ability is quite practical; I estimate it can reach 20,000 Pounds!"

Aaron expressed agreement.

If he let go of his 'appetite', it would be even more terrifying!

Next, one special item after another was auctioned off.

Magical Items from the Fabri era, unknown statues from the Dark Chaotic Era, and even precious curios from South Innis...

The President of the 'Frozen Earth Society'—Anastasia!

These three ancient Cults had already signed a Contract with the Invis Kingdom and were about to transform into True God Churches, jointly maintaining the stability of the kingdom and obtaining the right to preach publicly!

"Is this... the opening of the Hidden Realm?"

And tonight was a good opportunity for a public appearance and to show support!

Aaron could clearly feel that after these three existences appeared, the tense, hair-trigger atmosphere in the auction hall dissipated quite a bit.

Aaron muttered a complaint in his heart, a smile appearing on his face: "Let's watch the auction!"

A flash of light appeared in Aaron's eyes.

"And their strength... should all be 'Crowns' who have opened the Sixth Primordial Substance, and they might even be carrying 'Unknown-grade' Strange Objects... the Cults also have corresponding Divinities supporting them behind the scenes!"

And in the auction hall, someone was already impatiently calling out a bid: "2000 Pounds!"

"A coincidence? That book is in my hands in its entirety... it just happens to be missing the last page."

"What do we need so many obscure Spirit Materials for?"

"Naturally, there are special uses."

"The next item to be auctioned is the Spirit World specialty 'Holy Spirit Spring Water', totaling 5 gallons, starting price 5000 Pounds..."

Many of the Extraordinaries below looked at that pink ring, and expressions of infatuation unconsciously appeared on their faces.

After all, whether it was the 'Lord of Buried Bones' or the 'Mother of Night' mother-son combination, or even the light-dark alliance forces of 'Dawn' and 'Fallen Corona', there were only two Divinities!

"Although the high-end combat power of the Hidden Realm cannot be counted by head, since they are all listed as Divinities, the difference should not be large..."

Aaron lowered his eyelids, waiting calmly.

"A Royal Extraordinary!"

"Is this unreasonable way of bidding a sign of being determined to win?" Liliyat glanced over and saw a mysterious person wearing a Golden Mask.

"Generally speaking, those interested in the Sun Fall are the 'Yao' society, among which the 'Sunset School' is the most fanatical..." Tias sighed with emotion: "This secret society is quite powerful, but I don't know what happened; in the last year, they have inexplicably lost high-end combat power, and even at least two 'Lamp Bearers' have died, perhaps three..."
