Qing Yu sat in his seat, his mind stirring slightly. He quickly filtered through the token and locked onto the "Nine Great Divine Weapons of the Controller" category.
The light screen instantly displayed projections of nine divine weapons, each with a different form! There were the Yan Divine Weapon, the Blazing Divine Weapon, the Cracking Divine Weapon... each representing the pinnacle of the Controller lineage.
The information showed that for this auction, there were several units in stock for common divine weapons like the Yan Divine Weapon and the Blazing Divine Weapon, but only one of the following:
Qiankun Ninefold Tribulation (Tribulation Divine Weapon): Quantity: 1 unit
Qing Yu's gaze instantly focused on the projection of this last divine weapon.
The projection showed a longsword, pure white in color and ancient in design. Its blade seemed to be carved from the purest cosmic crystal marrow, with countless fine, translucent structures subtly flowing within, emitting a strange aura that was both incomparably sharp and elusive.
He touched the detailed information with his mind:
The most mysterious of the Nine Great Divine Weapons for Psycher Master Controllers! It was forged by integrating the two supreme origin laws of "space" and "time," and is known as the most difficult divine weapon to control.
Its normal form is a longsword, pure white in color, containing 10,081 translucent, cicada-wing-thin circular blades, each imbued with profound origin law secret patterns.
"Space and time... dual supreme laws..." Qing Yu murmured to himself.
This was precisely his most important goal for this trip! While the other eight divine weapons were powerful, their compatibility with his path of dual law cultivation was far inferior to this unique Tribulation Divine Weapon!
The auction officially began!
On the token's light screen, the highest bids for the Nine Great Divine Weapons were displayed in real-time, constantly fluctuating. Although the bidding for other divine weapons (such as the Yan Divine Weapon and the Blazing Divine Weapon) was fierce, the increases were relatively stable.
According to past transaction records, the final price for the other eight divine weapons typically ranged around 3 Mixed Yuan Units, not exceeding 4 Mixed Yuan Units.
However, the speed and magnitude of the price fluctuations in the Tribulation Divine Weapon's bidding column were completely different!
Tribulation Divine Weapon current highest bid: 2.5 Mixed Yuan Units
Tribulation Divine Weapon current highest bid: 3.0 Mixed Yuan Units
Tribulation Divine Weapon current highest bid: ...
Almost as soon as the auctioneer announced the start, the price of the Tribulation Divine Weapon soared at an astonishing speed! Its popularity far surpassed that of the other eight divine weapons!
The reason was simple: it was a unique item, involved dual supreme laws, and was widely recognized as the ultimate challenge for a Controller! It attracted buyers with true wealth, ambition, and self-proclaimed extraordinary talent!
When the price surpassed 6 Mixed Yuan Units and briefly stayed at 6.5 Mixed Yuan Units, the bidding seemed to reach a stalemate, and the rate of numerical fluctuation noticeably slowed down.
"It's almost time..." Qing Yu understood. This price was more than double that of the other divine weapons, enough to deter many wealthy competitors who were not absolutely determined to win.
His slender fingers steadily tapped on the bidding input area of the token's light screen, directly entering an integer:
8 Mixed Yuan Units! He needed to seal the deal with one strike.
Buzz!
Qing Yan, the Domain Master family steward next to Qing Yu, watched the "Mixed Yuan Units" following the "8" and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
On the token's light screen, the price of the Tribulation Divine Weapon remained at "8 Mixed Yuan Units" for a full ten seconds. As expected, no new bids appeared by the end of the countdown for the Nine Great Divine Weapons auction.
A line of text appeared on the auction token's screen:
Congratulations, guest with serial number JLC15573, you have successfully bid for one "Tribulation Divine Weapon." Please complete payment and signing in a timely manner, and confirm your delivery address!
Qing Yu let out a slight breath. 8 Mixed Yuan, a hefty price, but worth it! This divine weapon, imbued with the mysteries of space-time, would be the cornerstone of his path to the peak.
About an hour later, all items in this batch were auctioned off.
The auction continued, with various rare treasures appearing in succession.
Qing Yu spent most of his time with his eyes closed, resting and adjusting his state, until the auction was nearing its end. The information for a finale item refreshed on the token's light screen, causing his closed eyelids to suddenly snap open!
The auctioneer's voice echoed throughout the auction hall:
"The next item up for auction is extraordinarily valuable and exceedingly rare! It is an item related to the law of time—the Golden Thread Centipede Carapace!"
On the main screen in the center of the auction hall, a projection of a deep, dark silver carapace appeared, flowing with mysterious golden secret patterns. Even as a projection, the swirling secret patterns created a sense of disorientation, causing Qing Yu to feel a slight tremor!
The entire auction hall, with its millions of World Masters, instantly erupted in a flurry of discussions.
Qing Yu opened the detailed information on his token.
Golden Thread Centipede! A unique flesh-and-blood lifeform with ten times the life gene, though not a special lifeform. However, its carapace naturally contains time origin law secret patterns, making it a darling of the law of time.
Studying these secret patterns has a miraculous effect on comprehending the law of time and cultivating time-attribute secret techniques.
"However, the Golden Thread Centipede has a total of nine main carapaces, and what we are auctioning this time is only the very last one! The other eight have already been purchased in advance by immortal beings," the auctioneer said with a hint of regret.
Qing Yu's eyes, upon hearing this, instead lit up. If it were a complete set, he could only sigh in admiration, as even an ordinary immortal being would likely have to empty their entire fortune to afford it.
"Only the very last piece is perfect!" Qing Yu wanted to see if he could buy it.
Although he now had the golden finger that doubled his talent, due to his previously ordinary talent, even with a fourfold boost, it was still not enough!
The pinnacle genius battle was only nine years away. If he could obtain this Golden Thread Centipede Carapace, perhaps his comprehension of the law of time would accelerate, and he would have a better chance of joining the core layer of the Virtual Universe Corporation!
"Bidding starts now! The reserve price is 3 Mixed Yuan Units!" the auctioneer announced loudly.
Bidding erupted instantly! Its intensity even surpassed that of the previous Tribulation Divine Weapon! Treasures related to the law of time are a hundred times rarer than those related to the law of space!
The price broke through 9 Mixed Yuan Units in a very short time!
Comprehending the law of time is very difficult, and few actually had the confidence to grasp it from this carapace, but there were always those willing to take a gamble!
Moreover, there were a few immortal beings present who might also be very interested in this carapace.
Qing Yu also attempted to bid on the token: 10 Mixed Yuan Units!
At this moment, the face of Steward Qing Yan, next to Qing Yu, had already turned somewhat pale, and the green scales on his face were trembling!
The wealth of an ordinary World Master is generally around 10 Mixed Yuan Units. The Qinglin Clan, with two World Master ancestors presiding and having operated for countless years, had a thicker foundation, but their total assets were only around a hundred Mixed Yuan Units!
The entire Qinglin Clan's liquid funds were roughly only a dozen Mixed Yuan Units! Qing Yu spent without batting an eye, but Qing Yan's heart could barely take it!
He suddenly turned to look at Qing Yu, his voice carrying a hoarseness he hadn't even noticed:
"Young Master! This... this price... the money we brought might not be enough..."
Qing Yu's gaze remained fixed on the projection of that carapace. He didn't look at Qing Yan, only said in a deep voice:
"Contact Ancestor Qing Ming, now."
