Chapter 101: Haotian Sect
It must be known that even though he possessed a top-tier martial soul and exceptional talent, to increase his soul power by 10 levels would require at least a year or a year and a half of diligent cultivation. It would be impossible to achieve in any shorter time.
But now, with just 10,000 auction points, he could soar directly to the Soul King realm.
Such a good deal, how could he not be tempted?
Over the past few months, through his own efforts, he had only managed to raise his soul power by four levels, becoming a 40th-level Soul Master.
If he added this 10-level soul power boost card, he would immediately become a true Soul King powerhouse.
Once he accumulated enough auction points, he could buy more soul power cards and break through to the Title Douluo realm, which would no longer be out of reach.
At the same time, Jiang Li discovered a pattern: the price of the soul power enhancement cards in the system shop fluctuated based on his own strength.
He thought to himself, "Currently, it costs 10,000 auction points to raise my soul power from Soul Master to Soul King. If there are no system restrictions, I could buy another 10-level soul power enhancement card at the same price in the future. That would really be a bargain."
Sure enough, the system wouldn't make a losing deal.
Jiang Li gritted his teeth and decided to purchase the 10-level soul power enhancement card.
In an instant, a brand-new golden card appeared in his hand, containing soul power so rich that it almost overflowed.
"Let's break through first."
Jiang Li's eyes were firm as he held the soul power enhancement card and left the hall, heading back to his room to begin his closed-door cultivation.
Once everything was ready, he sat cross-legged on the ground and activated the card according to the usage method.
Countless golden light dots surged into his body like dazzling stars. Jiang Li immediately felt a dramatic change inside his body as the intense soul power flooded through every one of his meridians like a raging tide.
He dared not relax for even a moment and quickly began to circulate his meditation techniques, fully absorbing this powerful soul power.
As time passed, Jiang Li's soul power level steadily increased.
The entire room was shrouded in thick soul power, as if he were submerged in a sea of soul energy.
However, due to the enormous amount of soul power within him, Jiang Li had to carefully and slowly refine his meridians.
He knew clearly that if this soul power were to go out of control, his meridians would suffer severe damage, and at that point, trying to break through would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
...
Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent, in another location, the Haotian Sect, situated within a cliffside, stood silently.
The giant stone gate in the mountains appeared like a silent guardian, witnessing the rise and fall of the sect's glory.
As the number one sect in the world, the Haotian Sect exuded an air of majesty and mystery.
At this moment, a young man arrived at the gate of the Haotian Sect.
He was Wang Dong, returning from Shrek Academy. His face was full of excitement, and his eyes sparkled with joy.
Wang Dong eagerly stretched out his hands and pushed open the heavy stone door, shouting loudly into the sect, "Grandfather, Uncle, I'm back!"
As his vibrant voice echoed, two streaks of light like lightning shot out from deep within the stone gate, appearing instantly before Wang Dong.
The visitors were tall and imposing, exuding an extraordinary presence. They were none other than the legendary soul beasts from a hundred thousand years ago—The Sky Blue Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
These two had sacrificed themselves to Tang San at the time of their death, and after Tang San ascended to godhood, he resurrected them and left them in the Haotian Sect to guard Wang Dong's safety.
"Winter, you're back!"
The Titan smiled broadly, excitedly lifting Wang Dong in the air. His hearty laughter echoed through the mountains.
"Stop fooling around, Winter. It's been a long journey. You must be exhausted. Go rest and have a meal first."
The Sky Blue Bull Python, with a helpless smile, gazed at Wang Dong with concern, his voice serious, but tinged with deep affection.
The Titan then gently set Wang Dong down, and they all headed inside the sect to enjoy a meal.
"Yes, I was about to starve on the way here!"
Wang Dong chuckled, eager to run toward the dining hall, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
During the meal, Wang Dong suddenly remembered an important reason for his return to the Haotian Sect, so he put down his chopsticks and seriously asked,
"Grandfather, Uncle, have you heard of the Star Auction House?"
"Star Auction House? Never heard of it. Is it a new power that's appeared?"
The Titan frowned upon hearing Wang Dong's words, racking his brain trying to remember this unfamiliar name.
With their experience, they should know about any prominent forces on the Douluo Continent.
But this Star Auction House had never been mentioned.
"I haven't heard of it either."
The Sky Blue Bull Python shook his head, his expression showing confusion.
Wang Dong couldn't help but feel speechless. He pursed his lips and said, "Grandfather, Uncle, you guys are really outdated."
After all, over the past few months, the Star Auction House had caused quite a stir on the Douluo Continent. Wang Dong hadn't expected that even with their status, his grandfather and uncle were unaware.
However, thinking about it, he realized that the Haotian Sect rarely interacted with other powers on the Douluo Continent, so it was understandable that they hadn't heard of the Star Auction House.
"Could it be that the Star Auction House is something special?"
The Titan asked, his curiosity piqued.
Wang Dong sighed, his expression becoming serious, "The Star Auction House is extremely mysterious. Let me tell you all about it…"
He then proceeded to explain all the details of the Star Auction House's appearance, the incredibly powerful strength of its internal members, and especially the incredible effects of the auctioned items, which were both miraculous and mind-blowing.
He told them everything, in full detail.
As Wang Dong spoke, the Titan and Sky Blue Bull Python's expressions grew increasingly grave, their eyes filled with astonishment.
This was far beyond what they had imagined!
Despite being Ultimate Douluo-level powerhouses, having seen the grandeur of the divine realm, they were still shocked by the mystery and power of the Star Auction House.
They never expected such a tremendous change on the Douluo Continent in just a few months.
When Wang Dong finished recounting everything about the Star Auction House, the Sky Blue Bull Python still looked disbelieving, "Winter, are you telling the truth? Does such a power really exist on the Douluo Continent?"
According to Wang Dong's description, the Star Auction House certainly had true god-level powerhouses, and it seemed to be closely tied to the divine realm.
The items up for auction were unheard of, with effects so miraculous that they seemed to belong to another world.
"Of course, it's true! I've attended two auctions myself and saw everything firsthand."
Wang Dong said seriously.
"However, now everyone on the Douluo Continent is speculating that the Star Auction House has a strong connection to the divine realm. It's even possible that the Star Auction House now has real god-level powerhouses."
Wang Dong lowered his voice, speaking in a mysterious tone.
Her words echoed through the Haotian Sect's dining hall, sending ripples of shock through the Titan and Sky Blue Bull Python's hearts.
