Chapter 522: Eternal Life from the legends
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
The fact that nobody wanted to fight for Emperor Qing Dao’s divine weapon was out of the Xuan Yuan Pavilion’s expectations. Shouldn’t something like this be fought over?
Like Jun Cang had said, this item might even bring one many untold returns!
However, everyone was thinking a different thing from he was. After he had become famous, he rarely used Heaven’s Halberd. He used a more powerful weapon. As such, nobody had much use for Heaven’s Halberd. The weapon that he used in his later life was more meaningful. Furthermore, it was a defective one and couldn’t even be used. It could only be put up for display if one bought it.
If it was later on where everyone had already gotten the items that they had wanted and had a bit of spare cash, it wouldn’t be a big deal to bid for it. It was a pity that it was close to the front and everyone was afraid that they wouldn’t have enough money at the end of the auction.
“Twenty one thousand.” Sima You Yue saw that nobody had bidded for it so she shouted first. Following her lead, a few others called out for bids as well.
However, those people were only calling out for fun. They were not interested in bidding at all. As a result, she bidded for it with one hundred thousand middle ranked crystals.
Very quickly, Heaven’s Halberd was delivered to her private room. She took out her crystal card and retrieved a hundred thousand middle ranked crystal stones. When they servant girl left, she pulled the cloth away to appraise the divine tool.
“Well damn, You Yue, why did you bid for this?” Fatty Qu asked puzzledly when he saw that it was rusty and full of spots.
Sima You Yue picked up the halberd and an ice cold aura shot into her path. This item wasn’t as simple as it appeared.
It was a pity that she did not refine it, so she had no idea what it looked like without the rest.
“In any case, this is the divine tool that Emperor Qing Dao used. It would be fine even if I just took it to research more about it.” She couldn’t see what difference this halberd had, so she put it back on the tray and let the others take a look.
“What kind of person was Emperor Qing Dao? A dilapidated piece of his divine tool was actually able to fetch such a high price of a hundred thousand middle ranked crystal stones!” Wei Zi Qi asked curiously.
“There are many ranks above the divine rank. We are currently part of the divine rank, which is broken down into Divine King, Divine Overlord, Divine Saint and Divine Paragon, four levels. Above the divine rank is the monarch rank, above the monarch rank is the emperor rank, and between each main ranking, there are four different levels. Emperor Qing Dao is an Emperor ranked expert.” Sima You Yue explained.
“Emperor?!” Wei Zi Qi and the others sucked in a breath. Someone actually reached the emperor rank!
“From ancient times till today, there are few who manage to advance to the Emperor rank. Those who do, become famous.” Kong Xiang Yi said, “It’s just that Emperor Qing Dao is the most famous of them all.”
“Why so?”
“The emperors in the past were all mostly old and ancient fogeys. However, for whatever reason, Emperor Qing Dao was not born with any innate talent or gift. However, he managed to advance to the highest rank before he was five thousand years old. Some say that he used some spirit pills, some say he obtained some inheritance. Some even say that he was talented from the beginning, it was just that he was hiding it. However, no matter how they tried to guess, he started to appear less frequently ever since he advanced, and finally disappeared completely. As such, it was rumoured that he had reached the emperor rank of the legends and left this world.”
“The emperor rank of the legends?”
“Left this world?”
“What does that mean?”
“As we become stronger, our lifespan also becomes longer. Once we reach the emperor rank, we would already have lived around twenty thousand years. However, no matter how long we live, we have to die eventually.” Third Mo looked at everyone, saying, “However, it is rumoured that once you reach the Emperor rank, you become a real deity and live forever.”
“What?!”
“Eternal life?”
“Are you for real?”
When he saw how surprised they were, Third Mo shrugged, “Who knows how authentic this is. Didn’t I already tell you that this was rumors of emperors? Of course, nobody has seen it, so nobody can verify it.”
“If Emperor Qing Dao really received the eternal life of the legends, then that would be too amazing!” Sima You Le cried out excitedly. His fervent eyes were filled with worship.
“However…” Sima You Yue took up the halberd again, “Since this is Emperor Qing Dao’s halberd, why would it be broken with only the head remaining?”
“That’s right, he’d already reached the emperor rank. He must be the most powerful person in the world, who would dare break his weapon?” Fatty Qu said.
Qin Mo and the others all shook their head at this as well. Nobody knew what happened.
“Rumors are just rumors after all. Who knows how true it is. Only the rumor proclaims its authenticity.” Wu Lingyu pointed out when he saw that Sima You Yue’s eyebrows were furrowed together.
Sima You Yue recollected her thoughts. She might as well take it back to research later on. “Let’s continue to watch the auction below.”
The items in the auction weren’t bad at all. However, it didn’t have what she wanted, so she didn’t bid for a single thing in the entire hour.
Later on, Sima You Yue bidded for the four ingredients she needed. All in all, she had spent over a million. Later on, she also bidded for a few raw materials that Fatty Qu needed and spent a few tens of thousand more. She spent two million in total, which was a lot less than she initially thought.
However, her emphasis was still on the three items later on. Those three items were the hardest battle. Two of the three were bartering items, while one was the sole unique item. Furthermore, it was an ingredient that was useful for cultivation, so it would definitely be fought over.
However, before those three items appeared, her item was put up for auction. Four tendon and marrow cleansing pills were sold for four million, while the other items were sold for a total of two million. In total, she had profited by six million. Combined with her remaining money, she had fourteen million.
She wondered whether fourteen million was enough for the three ingredients.
“Everyone’s going to love the next item. Especially for Spirit Masters, I’m sure it will drive you crazy.” Jun Cang said with a smile.
Although so much time had passed and she had watched him host for so long, based on what he said just now, she still had no way of linking him with the Xuan Yuan Pavilion’s Pavilion Master.
Just by the way he was acting!
However, thinking about it, the item that was brought up was truly something good. Everyone had their attention on it.
“This is the ancient mine that everyone has been waiting for, for so long. It’s actually a mine- this is something that everyone knows. This means there will be a risk. It might be a treasure, it might not.” Jun Cang said very responsibly. “However, if it does contain something, it will definitely be something from the ancient times. I need not mention how valuable it is. In order to make it easier for everyone to bid for it, we shall specially allow you spirit masters to come up and take a look. Everyone has half an hour. You may come up if you’re willing.”
Some people went up after Jun Cang spoke. Those spirit masters were beyond themselves in excitement, looking into the mine left and right.
Sima You Yue looked at Third Mo who remained unmoving, asking, “Didn’t you rush here for this? Why aren’t you going down to take a look?”
