"Senior Brother Tu, your Eight Divisions Pagoda has already been condensed to the level of a High-grade Immortal Artifact, could it be that it can still advance?" A female disciple spoke with a flattering tone.
In Private Room Number 1, that majestic and unmoving, mountain-like man was surrounded by people clustering around him like stars around the moon.
The law-enforcement disciples of the Heavenly Court's Divine Prison were all incomparably arrogant, looking upon the world with utter disdain, and none would submit to another. But now, a disciple capable of making others flatter him had actually appeared; one could see how formidable that disciple surnamed Tu was.
"It still lacks some fire. However, the moment I obtain the dragon whale core, fuse it into the Pagoda, and stimulate the origin qi, I will be able to break through the final bottleneck and advance to the realm of a Supreme Ancestral Immortal. I, Tu Gang, slaughter gods and annihilate Buddhas; among Golden Immortals, I am hailed as invincible. No one can contend with me, not even Ancestral Immortals. Precisely because of this, elevating my realm is also extremely difficult."
This man named "Tu Gang" sat upright generously, steady and secure. He possessed a temperament capable of suppressing the ten thousand directions. With him as the center, all space was extremely tranquil, giving people an extremely strong flavor of protection.
"Senior Brother, this single dragon whale core is still nothing much; what truly holds value is the core fragment inside that dragon whale core. Although the Raging Battle Rending Dragon Whale under the Sea Emperor's command is a powerful race, it is impossible for it to reach the point of fighting with an Origin Immortal. The reason this dragon whale was so tyrannical is also precisely because of the fact that it occasionally swallowed that magical treasure fragment." Another disciple said: "Senior Brother truly has good eyesight, I wonder if you saw what exactly that item is?"
"Perhaps it is a treasure left over from the previous epoch, or perhaps it is some unnamed natural heavenly treasure. I have to purchase it first and then carefully comprehend it." Tu Gang beckoned with his finger: "This time, Cao Zhengyang, the heir of the Corpse Saint, and the other eight law-enforcement disciples of the Divine Prison went to the tomb of the Ghost Martial Holy Lord to slay Impermanence. Right now, there is no news or trace of them; I'm afraid they are doomed to ill fortune rather than good. Do you have any news?"
"No, the tomb of the Ghost Martial Holy Lord has completely broken away from the Chaotic God Sea, flown towards the God Realm, and is controlled by the God Realm's army." A disciple started laughing: "The way I see it, Cao Zhengyang's group is probably doomed. Schemed against once by the God Realm's Heavenly Consort Umo, they all perished. This is actually for the best, saving us they trouble of them fighting with us for resources in the future."
"Your words are not wrong. Cao Zhengyang, the Corpse Saint's heir, and those disciples are all wildly ambitious. If I hadn't forged the Eight Divisions Pagoda, it is highly likely they would ride on my head." Tu Gang sneered continuously, "It wasn't until I refined the Eight Divisions Pagoda into a High-grade Immortal Artifact, ascending to heaven in a single step, that they restrained themselves a lot. Now they have settled down, but are still restless. Dead is best; a dead person is the best person."
"Senior Brother Tu Gang is invincible in every direction, naturally not someone they could compare to. Right now, Senior Brother Tu Gang should be able to slay that Impermanence with the strength of one person, right?"
"Slaying Impermanence is indeed nothing much." Tu Gang continuously tapped his finger on the throne: "My goal is far more than this. This time, I must marry the adopted daughter of the Eternal Heavenly Monarch, capture her heart, and establish a relationship with the Eternal Heavenly Monarch. That would be truly ascending to heaven in a single step."
"With a genius like you, Senior Brother, who could even cultivate the Eight Divisions Pagoda successfully, marrying the adopted daughter of the Eternal Heavenly Monarch is not an issue at all. Isn't it just as easy as catching something with your own hands?"
"Senior Brother, you called out a high price. For this dragon whale core, no one will compete with you."
"Who dares to compete with me? Once we leave the Heaven and Earth Alliance, I naturally have ways to find out who he is. At that time, imminent disaster will fall upon his head!" Tu Gang's body moved slightly, and an identical Great Flood Ancestral Dragon appeared above his head, coiling within the boundless river of stars, its might immeasurable.
"Four hundred veins!"
Just as his words faded, from Private Room Number 77, a voice transmitted out. The price was raised once again.
"Hmm? That Private Room Number 77 again? Who exactly is it? The first time he used five hundred Spirit Veins to buy the Spirit Emperor's Enlightenment Stone, and after that, he hasn't made a single move to buy, not even calling out a price. Clearly his Spirit Veins were spent. Why is he actually this generous again?" Murderous intent manifested on Tu Gang's face.
"Senior Brother, our Heavenly Court's Divine Prison supersedes any kingly major sect. I will go right now and force the Heaven and Earth Alliance to interrogate the origin of that person, and directly slay him!" A disciple shot up to his feet with a swish.
"Sit down!"
A playful smile manifested on Tu Gang's face: "I would actually like to see how formidable this person is. Let's probe his bottom line first. Four hundred and fifty Spirit Veins!"
"Five hundred veins!"
Within Private Room Number 77, Fang Han, at this very moment, also wore a smile and once again called out a price that could literally scare people to death.
"The person inside Private Room Number 1 actually has such deep pockets?" Holy Son Dao Xu and the others also smacked their lips: "Or perhaps, he urgently needs this dragon whale core?"
"Five hundred and fifty veins!" Within Private Room Number 1, Tu Gang called out another number again.
At this time, all the voices in the private rooms quieted down, not moving an inch. Because the price was truly too high; buying this core was already very unworthy.
"Six hundred veins." Fang Han followed the prescribed order to increase the price, absolutely not maliciously driving it up. Although he possessed a King Tier Spirit Vein, it was not an inexhaustible wealth and would eventually run out. Saving a bit where he could was the way to go.
A casual movement of a single Spirit Vein was several trillion, approaching ten trillion Origin Commencement Pills.
"Six hundred and fifty veins!" Within Private Room Number 1, Tu Gang's voice already carried a trace of murderous intent. This type of murderous intent was heard by all the people.
"Seven hundred!" Fang Han completely disregarded this murderous intent. Even if the other party was a Saint, he still had to auction off the Good Fortune Artifact fragment inside this core.
"Eight hundred!" Within Private Room Number 1, Tu Gang finally could not endure it any longer and started heavily increasing the price, wanting to crush Fang Han in one step. Inside the private room, the Heavenly Court's Divine Prison law-enforcement disciples beside him all similarly showed thick murderous intent on their faces.
"This person is entirely despicable, deliberately opposing Senior Brother."
"Kill! We must definitely kill him. He thinks the Heaven and Earth Alliance can protect his identity? This is simply laughable. If we want to investigate, there is nothing the Heavenly Court's Divine Prison cannot find out."
"No matter! Do not act rashly without careful thought!" Tu Gang's face returned to normal: "I called a price of eight hundred Spirit Veins, he definitely cannot bid higher. However, to make me spend so much, he truly desires death."
The words had just faded when, suddenly, from Private Room Number 77, a voice transmitted out again: "Eight hundred and fifty!"
"Damn it!" Tu Gang was enraged. The Great Flood Ancestral Dragon above his head seemed about to split the air and emerge, wanting to destroy even this temple of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
However, after a long while, he finally endured his fury: "This person is indeed already dead, a dead man. I will not fight with him temporarily. This dragon whale core, to be able to let my Eight Divisions Pagoda sense it anytime and anywhere, I will temporarily not fight him for it. Because I still need to leave Spirit Veins to purchase the finale item, the Saint's Buddha Fat. I will temporarily let him buy it. Once he leaves the Heaven and Earth Alliance, I will go to his door and slay him."
As he spoke, his hand gripping the throne squeezed the armrest so hard that cracking traces appeared.
"This person finally gave up fighting. He knows that no matter how much he fights, he cannot outfight me." Fang Han smiled slightly, waiting as the massive core in the center of the auction floor disappeared, and subsequently teleported through the space-time channel, arriving in the center of this Private Room Number 77.
With a wave of his hand, he once again took out the origin qi of eight hundred and fifty Spirit Veins, handing it over to the Heaven and Earth Alliance. Following that, with a swish of his sleeve, he took the small mountain-sized core into his own divine kingdom, beginning to refine and cultivate it.
The Raging Battle Rending Dragon Whale possessed a dragon bloodline that was even purer than primeval heavenly dragons. It was a giant beast found only in the seas of the Heaven Realm, practically non-existent in the secular world.
They were one of the most tyrannical races under the command of the Sea Emperor.
The moment the core entered the divine kingdom inside Fang Han's body, he employed the Myriad Things Transformation into Dragon Art. Immediately, the flesh and blood upon it began to melt, transforming into massive existences that looked like dragons yet like whales, roaring and shuttling through Fang Han's divine kingdom. They flowed into the Eight Divisions Pagoda. This treasure immediately began to squirm, the crystal wall systems within it undergoing changes, and the pages of Dragon Race text becoming clearer.
Not to mention the core fragment of the Good Fortune Artifact inside, just this core itself was an incredibly rare treasure, especially for a person cultivating the Eight Divisions Pagoda. It was an item of great nourishment for origin qi, which was precisely the reason Tu Gang was willing to pay such a high price to buy it.
In less than the time of a few breaths, this core was entirely refined.
It contained powerful Ancestral Immortal laws. With a buzz, those Ancestral Immortal laws caused the Heaven Mandate Sphere within the Eight Divisions Pagoda to transform into a High-grade Immortal Artifact.
The Heaven Mandate Sphere was a treasure used for deduction, its functions quite similar to the Universal Astrolabe. His power right now was sufficient; it was just that his deduction functions needed strengthening.
After refining the dragon whale core, that central Good Fortune Artifact fragment was revealed. It was about the height of two standing people, resembling a massive stone without regular shape. On the angular edges were some sawteeth, startling to look at, as if it had been forcefully torn apart by some invincible power.
Powerful existences capable of destroying Good Fortune Artifacts were exceedingly few in the heaven and earth universe, the heavens and myriad realms. Besides some Immortal Kings and invincible existences like Daoist Grand Meng, there was only the Gate of Eternal Life.
Looking at the cracking traces upon that Good Fortune Artifact fragment, Fang Han wanted to deduce exactly how it was shattered. But after thinking for a moment, he stopped.
If he were to deduce the great battle from when the Good Fortune Artifact was shattered, just a wisp of the oppressive pressure transmitted out from the long river of time could smash his body to pieces and crush his bones.
Last time, when he observed the memories of Cao Zhengyang and the others and saw the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Monarch in those memories, he was almost jolted to the point of injury. And a great battle capable of resulting in the destruction of a Good Fortune Artifact, how could the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Monarch ever compare to that?
"Better to just refine it for now."
Applying the power of Good Fortune, he began to melt this fragment. Streams of origin qi overflowed from it, seeping into the crystal divine kingdoms all over his body.
Every single crystal divine kingdom cheered and jumped for joy, as if having come alive; primeval gods of Good Fortune began to awaken. Numerous crystal divine kingdoms were derived out of thin air.
The crystal divine kingdoms inside Fang Han's body once again increased and strengthened.
