Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

”You must be willing to go mad for the one you love most, to go wild for her. If you don’t even have that much courage, how can you claim to love her at all? The words ’greatest love’ on your lips are nothing but a disgrace!”

Ye Wushuang continued, holding nothing back.

Young Master Xie Qing’s expression steadily darkened. Every word from Ye Wushuang was a pointed jab at him!

And yet, he could not refute the insult.

’Willing to go mad for her, to go wild for her!’

A tremor ran through the crowd. That single phrase captured the essence of a man’s devotion—the willingness to go mad for the one he loves most. For any woman, finding a man like that would be more than enough for one lifetime.

However…

The world of Cultivators was filled with deceit and schemes, a place where relationships were mere transactions. How many people stayed true to one another? When disaster struck, most scattered to save themselves.

As for this so-called ”greatest love,” many paid it lip service, but how many truly lived by it?

Thus, those two words, ”greatest love,” were not so simple. They were an everlasting promise.

Some of the women fell silent, their hearts trembling. Perhaps, in their own hearts, they had all yearned for a man who would be willing to go mad for them, to go wild for them.

In the private room, Ye Wushuang’s gaze was cold and severe.

Beside him, Lan Xinyu’s heart stirred. Her gaze on Ye Wushuang had become somewhat infatuated.

In a corner of the auction house, a woman’s body trembled as she heard his words.

’To go mad for her, to go wild for her!’

As she silently repeated the phrase, the icy expression on her face gradually began to melt.

”You regret it now!”

A middle-aged man suddenly appeared beside the woman, his gaze also fixed on Ye Wushuang’s private room.

The woman said nothing. Or rather, she didn’t know what to say.

”So young and reckless!”

Some of the older generation sighed.

Cheng Xuan gave a wry smile before breaking the silence. ”Ten million! Is there any higher bid? If not, then this Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique belongs to Young Master Ye.”

After a long silence, no one else spoke up. With a final bang of the gavel, Cheng Xuan announced that Ye Wushuang had won the Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique!

”Next up is our second featured treasure!”

Cheng Xuan continued with the auction, his resonant voice drawing everyone’s attention back to the stage.

As Cheng Xuan lifted the red cloth, a section of golden bone appeared before the crowd.

”A Holy Bone!”

”Heavens, it’s a Holy Bone!”

Instantly, several excited, aged gasps rang out from the private rooms on the second floor.

”Before the auction, a distinguished guest entrusted this item to our house for auction. I’m sure you have all guessed what this bone is.”

”That’s right! It is a Holy Bone—the bone of a Saint! And a Golden Bone at that!”

”Some of you here may already know that Holy Bones are divided into Bronze Bones, Golden Bones, and Jade Bones. The higher the grade, the more complete the Holy Patterns branded upon them.”

”Holy Patterns are formed from a Saint Sage’s comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Rules. They contain the Dao of a Saint Sage. If a Nirvana Powerhouse can comprehend one, they will have a chance to become a Saint themselves.”

”This Golden Bone before you is a hand bone from a Saint Sage. Our appraisal has confirmed that it is the most important Holy Bone from that Saint Sage’s body, and the Holy Patterns on it are eighty percent complete.”

Upon hearing Cheng Xuan’s description, some of the Nirvana Powerhouses couldn’t help but cry out, ”Shopkeeper Cheng, just tell us the starting price!”

These Nirvana Powerhouses could no longer wait. They lived for the day they could ascend to the legendary Saint Sage Realm and achieve eternal life beneath the stars!

In his private room, Ye Wushuang could only smile wryly.

’The greatest use of a Holy Bone is to comprehend its Holy Patterns, yet I used them to forge my body. Countless Holy Patterns were branded directly into me without ever being comprehended.’

’If this group of Nirvana Powerhouses ever found out, they’d probably cough up blood in anger.’

Of course, Ye Wushuang wasn’t worried that the Holy Patterns were being wasted.

The Holy Patterns were forging a Holy Body, which possessed limitless potential. Once that potential was unlocked, it would be terrifying beyond measure!

”Patience, everyone!”

Cheng Xuan shouted, ”As per the seller’s request, this item will not be exchanged for Spirit Stones!”

”Not for Spirit Stones? Then what do they want?”

An aged voice asked urgently. The potent Divine Soul Power emanating from the speaker made many in the crowd turn pale.

”The seller requires Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins! The exchange will be made with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins!”

Cheng Xuan said.

”Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins!” Upon hearing this, many people immediately fell silent. Only Noble Families and Nirvana Powerhouses possessed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins; no one else could even dream of obtaining them.

”Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins!”

Hearing this, even the Nirvana Powerhouses fell silent.

The amount of energy a Nirvana Powerhouse required for their Cultivation was immense; only Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins could sustain it. In a sense, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins were their most vital Cultivation Resources.

Although a Holy Bone contained the opportunity to become a Saint, it wasn’t a guarantee.

After a long silence, an old man finally spoke up. ”Since the seller requires Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins, I am willing to offer two Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins in exchange!”

”Two Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins? Elder Demon Bai, you’re truly willing to part with them.”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, another aged voice chimed in. ”Though we may be in the Nirvana Realm and enjoy lifespans of several thousand years, our time is not infinite. If we don’t gamble everything now, I fear we may never get another chance. I offer three!”

As soon as he spoke, the previous bidder fell silent.

”Old Monster Baili is right! Our lifespans are finite. These long thousands of years have all been for the sake of fighting for a single chance at Sainthood, a chance at eternal life. What is there to hold back? I offer four Spirit Veins!”

Elder Demon Bai shouted once more.

His words struck a chord with the other experts of the Nirvana Realm.

The Celestial Dao is merciless. Cultivators may fight for the Celestial Mandate, but they can never escape the trial of life and death, let alone reach the unattainable position of a Saint Sage.

Ye Wushuang listened quietly. He hadn’t expected that becoming a Saint held such an immense temptation for these Nirvana Great Powers.

Suddenly, he began to ponder. An idea came to him, and he immediately turned to Lan Xinyu. ”Xinyu, I need you to do something for me.”

”Please tell me, Young Master,” Lan Xinyu asked.

Ye Wushuang said, ”Go outside the auction house and spread a rumor that Ji Xuanyuan has a Holy Bone on him. Remember, don’t let anyone discover your identity while you’re spreading the news. Understand?”

”Young Master, who is Ji Xuanyuan?”

Lan Xinyu hadn’t processed his words yet and looked at Ye Wushuang in confusion.

”Don’t worry about that for now. Just do as I say.”

A calculating glint flickered in Ye Wushuang’s eyes.

’Since the Holy Bone is so attractive to these Nirvana Realm experts, I can use it to quickly gather the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins I need to activate the War Fortress.’

’Moreover, if I use a Holy Bone as bait, I might even be able to recruit a few Nirvana Realm experts. That would be a huge help in building my own faction. Killing two birds with one stone!’

’With a Nirvana Powerhouse on my side, things would be much easier.’

’Of course, I have to make sure these old geezers don’t find out my true identity. Otherwise, there’s no telling they wouldn’t just kill me and take my treasures.’

Lan Xinyu didn’t understand Ye Wushuang’s plan, but upon receiving her orders, she left the private room and headed outside.
