Chapter 1430: The Auction Begins

The Divine Kingdom Trading Ring's entry fee was ten thousand high-quality God Crystals, which meant that, even if a typical Rank Seven Ancient God bankrupted themselves, even selling off their own bodies, they still wouldn't be able to get inside.

Moreover, the items auctioned here were all high-class items, easily exceeding one hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals in value. Even if an ordinary Ancient God could get in, they would only be able to watch and not buy.

Once the Spiritual Race party paid the entry fees, it entered through a gray-white stone door into an independent Divine Kingdom.

Before their eyes was a refined land of mountains and rivers. Opulent buildings in a variety of styles had been set up everywhere.

Although the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring had an exorbitant entry fee, it was still bustling and crowded. The majority of the crowd was Rank Nine Ancient Gods. Rank Eights were an extreme rarity while Rank Seven Ancient Gods were almost nonexistent.

"There seem to be more people in the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring than usual." The Second Elder sighed. He had come here many times and was familiar with the situation.

"Spiritual Race God Lord!" The arrival of the Spiritual Race was a shock to the surrounding crowds.

"I hear that the Spiritual Race and Blazing Gold Race of the Ziling Zone got into a major war, and it was the Spiritual Race that emerged victorious in the end. It probably won't be long before the Spiritual Race becomes the number one five-star faction of the Ziling Zone!"

"That's not right. I heard that the Spiritual Race's Second Elder was inflicted with the Cursed Words of Death. They've probably come here to find a method to undo it."

"Did you hear? The Spiritual Race was able to win because a peak Rank Nine junior called Zhao Feng managed to reverse the tides and heavily injure a God Lord!"

"You're joking! A peak Rank Nine wouldn't even be able to last one blow against a God Lord."

Recently, the war between the Spiritual Race and the Blazing Gold Race wasn't just a hot topic in the Ziling Zone, but in the nearby zones as well.

Quite a few people turned to stare at Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.

"There are still three days until the auction will be held. Until then, all of you can take a look around," the Second Elder said to the Spiritual Race party. After saying this, the Second Elder left.

The other members of the Spiritual Race swiftly went off to carry out their own business.

Meow!

The little thieving cat rushed out of the interspatial dimension, wildly gesturing with its paws to say that there were many treasures in this place.

"Yufei, you obtained the legacy of the God Martial Race and are the number one core disciple of the Spiritual Race, so you shouldn't be lacking for much, right?" Zhao Feng inquired.

"I'm not lacking for anything right now. I'm just interested in this place. Perhaps I might run into something that I need or like!" Zhao Yufei giggled and then gripped Zhao Feng's arm.

"Let's go to the auction grounds and take a look first," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.

The Divine Kingdom Trading Ring was actually constantly in operation. Here, one could trade for almost anything, including arts, legacies, natural treasures, pets, and mounts. But normally, very few people would pay the enormous entry fee. Only during an auction would this place appear to be so thriving.

Zhao Feng had accumulated many treasures, divine weapons, and natural resources, all of which he could dispose of through the auction.

The most renowned auction house in this Divine Kingdom was a gorgeous palace of violet gold that soared into the clouds. Upon entering, Zhao Feng entrusted them all the extra supreme-quality divine artifacts and resources that he had.

"Guest, based on the objects you have entrusted to us, you can enjoy the seats in the auction house meant for guests of honor!" a charming woman smiled and said.

The guests of honor were seated in their own rooms, and outsiders would not be able to see inside.

Zhao Feng was rather surprised. The items that he had entrusted were not too valuable. It seemed that it was their quantity that allowed him to enjoy the treatment of an honored guest.

Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei left the auction house.

Two other figures walked out from another entrance.

"Milord, why are we auctioning off such precious objects?" a straight-backed man with dark and ghostly eyes whispered. The items they had put up for auction were all important experimental results from factions similar to the Heavenly Demon Hall.

"Hmph, what's the point in leaving behind such worthless things?" A white-haired elder coldly snorted.

"That's... Zhao Feng!" The man with gloomy eyes suddenly saw something and couldn't help but blurt out.

"Ancient God Nether Spring...?" Zhao Feng was surprised. He hadn't expected to run into the Heavenly Demon Hall's Ancient God Nether Spring at the auction house.

And the person next to Ancient God Nether Spring was none other than the man who had directly moved away the Heavenly Demon Hall, God Lord Heavenly Solitude.

At the time, God Lord Heavenly Solitude left an extremely deep impression on him, and this time, Zhao Feng realized that he still couldn't see through this man.

Thwish!

The little thieving cat instantly shot back into the interspatial dimension.

God Lord Heavenly Solitude's eyes flashed, and then he turned to Zhao Feng with a hint of killing intent. Back then, Zhao Feng had snatched the Heaven's Legacy Cat from under his nose, leaving him furious.

"Milord, this is the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring!" Ancient God Nether Spring messaged.

Fighting was forbidden in the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring. The operator of the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring was on the same level as a Sacred Land, and it also had extremely close relationships with many Sacred Lands, making it an incredibly intimidating force. Even a God Lord would be heavily punished if they dared to brazenly start a fight.

"Junior, if you hand over that cat, we won't come to find trouble in the future!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude slowly said.

"You're talking about the Heaven's Legacy Cat?" Zhao Feng smiled as he cut straight to the point.

"Since you already know, then state your price and give the Heaven's Legacy Cat to me." God Lord Heavenly Solitude's gaze darkened as he suddenly dropped his voice.

The Heaven's Legacy Cat was one of the highest secrets of the Heaven's Legacy Race, but that didn't mean that no one knew about it. The Divine Kingdom Trading Ring was a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. If other God Lords knew about the Heaven's Legacy Cat, it would cause even more problems.

He was confident that if he offered a tempting enough price, Zhao Feng would definitely hand over the "hot potato" that was the Heaven's Legacy Cat.

"One hundred million supreme-quality God Crystals!" Zhao Feng chortled.

God Lord Heavenly Solitude and Ancient God Nether Spring were instantly struck dumb.

"Good! Zhao Feng, you will regret this!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude's face chilled as he took Ancient God Nether Spring with him and left.

In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, supreme-quality God Crystals were much rarer than supreme-quality divine artifacts. It was so bad that even a typical God Lord would only possess a few damaged supreme-quality God Crystals.

Not even one million high-quality God Crystals would be enough to exchange for a complete supreme-quality God Crystal. One hundred million supreme-quality God Crystals was not something that even the wealthiest God Realm Sacred Land in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods could produce. By stating such an astronomical price, Zhao Feng was clearly indicating that he wasn't selling.

"Have someone keep a close eye on Zhao Feng. Inform me the moment he leaves the Spiritual Race!" God Lord Heavenly Solitude messaged Ancient God Nether Spring.

In truth, God Lord Heavenly Solitude had been tracking Zhao Feng since the moment he returned to the Ziling Zone. However, the Blazing Gold Race began a war with the Spiritual Race, and the Life Sacred Land was observing everything from above, so he naturally couldn't take action.

"Yes!" Ancient God Nether Spring's eyes gleamed.

He had not expected for Zhao Feng's cultivation level to exceed his in just a few short decades. However, Zhao Feng had offended the Heavenly Demon Hall and the faction behind it. He was doomed!

...

"Brother Feng? Who were those two people?" Zhao Yufei asked in concern. That God Lord was unfathomable, and Zhao Yufei was rather worried that Zhao Feng had managed to somehow offend such a dreadful existence.

"They want to steal the little thieving cat." Zhao Feng wasn't sure about their background, so this was all he said.

Zhao Yufei naturally knew about the little thieving cat, and from the conversation just now, she also understood the little thieving cat's true identity: a Heaven's Legacy Cat. Anything that could earn a God Lord's attention had to be extremely precious.

Meow!

The little thieving cat immediately jumped back out, raising its head and straightening its chest, bragging that it was a priceless treasure.

The pair spent the rest of their time strolling around the Divine Kingdom Trading Ring. Zhao Feng bought quite a few Intent cultivation resources.

They also paid a visit to the "clearance section." The objects here were of uneven quality and were kept in a more disorderly condition. Many of the objects were just inferior products added to make up the number. But with the God's Spiritual Eye and the little thieving cat's abilities, the two of them were able to find a few rather valuable objects.

Three days later, the auction was on the verge of beginning.

A handsome young man with dreamy silver hair and a gorgeous woman with crystalline skin and wearing a violet gown entered the auction house, immediately attracting countless gazes. This pair was naturally Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.

The two of them entered the area set aside for high-class guests of honor, escaping from the eyes of the crowd.

One hour later, the auction formally began. The auction house became pitch-black, and then the round auction stage in the center began to exude a dazzling radiance.

Although it was pitch-black, Zhao Feng could sense the energies of many God Lords in the massive auction house, some of them even approaching the level of the Spiritual Race Patriarch.

A white-clothed half-step God Lord elder appeared on the stage. At his side was a beautiful Rank Nine Ancient God woman.

"The Divine Kingdom Auction is now open!" The white-robed elder faintly smiled as his loud and bright voice resounded through the hall.

The beautiful woman next to him took out a jade box from an interspatial dimension and opened it. Inside were transparent green fruits that emitted thick ripples of Divine Power.

"Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit! It contains immense amounts of pure Divine Power that can greatly boost the cultivation of an Ancient God. It is of great use to any Ancient God below peak Rank Nine. In addition, the Divine Power obtained is extremely refined and will not cause anything like an unstable foundation!" The white-robed elder gave a thorough introduction.

Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit was an extremely high-quality resource. Moreover, since it was a resource that could help a cultivator break through, there were many people who wanted it.

The eyes of almost all the Rank Nine Ancient Gods present flashed. Quite a few God Lords were also interested in this treasure. Perhaps it was something that their descendants or disciples required.

"Bidding for the Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit will start at one hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals. Each new bid must be at least ten thousand higher than the last." The elder gently smiled.

He barely finished speaking when someone issued a bid.

"I'll pay one hundred thirty thousand!"

"One hundred fifty thousand!"

"One hundred eighty thousand!"

A few moments later, the price of the Life Spirit Heaven Pearl Fruit had reached three hundred thousand.

A fruit that could help an Ancient God break through had swiftly reached a price of three hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals. However, its true value was probably between two hundred to three hundred thousand high-quality God Crystals.

"I'll pay three hundred and ten thousand." At this moment, a calm and composed voice spoke.

Everyone turned to see who had spoken.

Zhao Feng was also rather surprised by this voice. Peering through the darkness to see the speaker, he saw a young man with an ordinary appearance but an abnormal demeanor.

This person was none other than Xin Wuheng.

"I didn't think that Xin Wuheng would also come to this place!" Zhao Feng was rather surprised.

The zones participating in this Divine Kingdom Trading Ring had to be like the Yangling Zone, home to the Spacetime Sacred Land, but the Chixing Zone did not reach this level. But perhaps there were some objects at the Divine Kingdom Auction that had drawn Xin Wuheng's interest.

"Is that Xin Wuheng?" Zhao Yufei's clear eyes gleamed. It had been a long time since Zhao Yufei saw Xin Wuheng, and she was a little doubtful.

"Correct." Zhao Feng nodded.

All three of them originated from Sun Feather City. None of them expected that all three of them would gather once more at the Divine Kingdom Auction.

"He's already a God Lord!" Zhao Yufei was flabbergasted.

Yes, at this time, Xin Wuheng had already broken into the God Lord level, and he was the number one focus of many Ancient God experts in this auction house.
