Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

137: Chapter 137 Auction and Golden Core Feast”True Monarch Shuxuan successfully advanced to Nascent Soul. The Xuan Yuan Sect has completely sealed its mountain gates to avoid the Divine Might of Venerable Shu Xuan. The Great Qi Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion will hold a super large-scale auction in various Prefecture Cities to celebrate Venerable Shu Xuan’s Breakthrough, even auctioning off Spiritual Items related to seeking Golden Core.”

Chen Fufeng looked at the Gilded Invitation in his hand, reading the contents, growing more astonished the further he read.

As a Purple Mansion great Family dominating a Commandery, the Chen Family had heard Rumors about the end of the Golden Core Battle Outside the Heavens, but they didn’t know much.

It wasn’t until the Liyuan Commandery Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion sent the invitation letter for the Xuan Prefecture City Ten Thousand Treasures Auction that they fully learned the result of the Golden Core battle.

”Brother Yuan, it seems we made the right choice.”

Yuan Feng, who was sitting beside him drinking tea, nodded slightly: ”After all, Venerable Shu Xuan has the behemoth Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion standing behind him. The Xuan Yuan Sect is essentially trying to stop a chariot with a praying mantis’s arms, courting destruction.”

”What a pity.” Chen Fufeng sighed, handing the invitation to Yuan Feng. ”The Xuan Yuan Sect still exists and hasn’t been destroyed. It would have been great if Venerable Shu Xuan had destroyed the Xuan Yuan Sect in one go.”

”Venerable Shu Xuan has just achieved Breakthrough. That Nascent Soul Venerable who acts as the Xuan Yuan Sect’s backer must be an Aged Old Monster who has lived for many years, not someone easily dealt with.”

Yuan Feng received the Gilded Invitation and examined it carefully.

He planned to make a trip to Xuan Prefecture City to see if the Xuan Prefecture City Auction had any items needed by the Chen Family and himself.

Since it was an auction held to celebrate Venerable Shu Xuan’s Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, and held in a Prefecture City, there would certainly be many good things, perhaps even Golden Core Essence being auctioned.

Because even if a Golden Core True Monarch perishes, their Golden Nature will long persist between heaven and earth, possessing all sorts of incredible mysteries.

The Golden Core, which is the Golden Nature, is the fundamental essence of a Golden Core True Monarch, the Foundation that maintains their entire strength.

It can be said that the Golden Core Realm is the process of continuously Cultivating and condensing Golden Nature.

The higher the Realm of the Golden Core True Monarch, the more condensed Golden Nature they gather, far surpassing and stronger than a newly achieved Golden Core True Monarch.

The more Golden Nature condensed, the deeper the connection to one’s Position, the more insight gained into one’s own Dao, and the greater the power that can be exerted.

”Brother Yuan, I heard Great Master Heaven Forger say that True Monarch Prairie-Blaze of the Zhiyang Sect also made a move, blocking True Monarch Lu Ge for Venerable Shu Xuan.”

”It seems it wasn’t just True Monarch Prairie-Blaze; other True Monarchs also stepped in to help, which created the opportunity for Venerable Shu Xuan to slay a Golden Core True Monarch, thus securing the victory.”

Yuan Feng listened, his fingers lightly tapping the table. His eyes were deep, and his thoughts clashed, leading him to consider many things in an instant.

True Monarch Shuxuan’s Breakthrough is a good thing, and the threat posed by the Xuan Yuan Sect can be set aside and ignored for the time being.

According to the Chen Family’s development trend, perhaps before the Xuan Yuan Sect unseals its mountain, he will have successfully condensed a Golden Core and become a Golden Core Demon Monarch.

At that time, even if True Monarch Slaying Halberd personally arrived, he would have nothing to fear.

Of course, when that time truly comes, the Xuan Yuan Sect will probably no longer exist.

This Sect, founded by Great Venerable Xuan Yuan Gui Li, is like a dying old man with one foot in the grave. It just depends on when he breathes his last.

What worried Yuan Feng was not the Xuan Yuan Sect, but the matter of the Wanbao Sect’s Sect Establishment thirty years from now.

He always felt that the matter was not that simple. Otherwise, why would Venerable Shu Xuan only formally announce the Sect Establishment after achieving Breakthrough to Nascent Soul?

One must know that Mo Youming mentioned this so-called Sect Establishment to him more than twenty years ago, and the deadline set at that time was twelve years.

Now, the twelve-year deadline has long passed, and the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion remained silent until True Monarch Shuxuan broke through to Nascent Soul.

There was also the matter of the so-called Liyuan Extermination of Demons, which was repeatedly delayed until the Ruins themselves dissipated, bringing the matter to an end.

”It is better to rely on oneself than on others. I must quickly Cultivate the fifth Divine Ability, pass the Heart Demon Tribulation, sense the Battle Position, and strive for Golden Core as soon as possible.”

The situation in the Great Qi Cultivation Kingdom is currently turbulent, and even several Golden Core True Monarchs have perished. This sounded an alarm bell in Yuan Feng’s heart.

In the Cultivation World, even if you are a Golden Core True Monarch dominating a nation, you still face the danger of perishing if you are slightly careless.

Ultimately, everything boils down to insufficient personal strength. If one’s strength is so great that no one can rival it, who would dare scheme against them?

”Soon, it won’t be long before I can enter seclusion again.”

The image of the Panel flashed in Yuan Feng’s eyes, and his gaze landed on the clan destiny points column. Fierce flames seemed to ignite in his dark pupils... The Xuan Prefecture City Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has released news that the auction is set for three months from now, not immediately. Forces holding invitations can enter the Auction Venue and participate in the bidding with their invitation.

This auction is open to all ranks; as long as one holds an invitation, they can participate in the bidding.

Furthermore, the Xuan Prefecture City Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion released information about some of the auction items, including several strands of Golden Core Essence, obtained from the Golden Core True Monarchs slain by Venerable Shu Xuan, which are enough to create several extremely powerful False Core Great Powers.

Not only Golden Nature, but this auction will also feature Tier 4 Level, or Golden Core level, Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Items for sale, which can allow Violet Palace Peak Great True Persons to further sense their Position and increase their success rate in condensing Golden Core Essence.

According to Rumors, there are suspected Golden Core Magic Treasures for sale at the auction, which could perfectly serve as supreme treasures for a major power to suppress Luck. For Purple Mansion Factions, one Magic Treasure is enough to protect the Family until the end of time.

This greatly excited the Cultivators within Xuan Prefecture, as an auction of this grandeur had not been held in Xuan Prefecture for many years.

The last time was hundreds of years ago, when a long-standing Golden Core Upper Sect was destroyed, and the items that flowed out were divided up by various forces. The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion seized the opportunity to hold an auction involving the entire Great Qi, accumulating a huge amount of wealth.

Besides this, another invitation was sent to Luoyun Mountain, delivered by the Qi Xuan Sect.

Artifact Inscription, the Old Ancestor of the Qi Xuan Sect, broke through destruction to establish himself, turning the false into the true, achieving the Golden Core against the odds with a False Core body. His Daoist Title is True Monarch Bing Zhu Chi Ji Gui Fu.

Therefore, the Qi Xuan Sect widely distributed invitations, inviting various forces to attend True Monarch Bing Zhu Chi Ji Gui Fu’s Golden Core Grand Banquet at the Qi Xuan Sect.

Fortunately, Ghost Axe Artifact Inscription’s Golden Core Grand Banquet will be held one month later, which does not conflict with the auction to be held in Xuan Prefecture City.

Yuan Feng planned to take Chen Zhuhong to attend the Golden Core Grand Banquet. As the Chen Family’s Favored Daughter of Heaven and the future Dao Maiden of the Zhiyang Sect, it is essential for her to go out and see the world.

As for the others, Yuan Feng had originally planned to bring Chen Zhuqing and Jiang Yunlei along, but the two of them, restless after prolonged stillness, went down the mountain for Training a few days ago.

Both of them carry Spiritual Artifacts for Dao Protection, and they are Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators of the Taiyin and Taiyang Path. Working together, they are sufficient to handle most Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, and there is generally no danger.

As for Chen Zhuyuan, he was busy Forging Iron and couldn’t spare the time; he had no intention of attending the Golden Core Grand Banquet.

As for the Xian Generation, Chen Xianting is too young, and Chen Xianlin and his sister are in seclusion for Realm Breakthrough and cannot go.

And Chen Fufeng, the Old Family Master, has many affairs to handle after Chen Zhuxiao went to the Ruins, so he also cannot spare the time for a while.

Therefore, the only person Yuan Feng could take was Chen Zhuhong.

The latter had no objections. It was a good opportunity to travel far and see the world, and incidentally observe the Disciples of a Golden Core Upper Sect.

She is a Lihuo Cultivator, and most Disciples of the Qi Xuan Sect follow the Bing Fire Dao. They can spar a little then, mutually verifying their respective Cultivation Paths.

She has frequently descended the mountain in recent years, slaying many Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, but most were Loose Cultivators with shallow Foundations and weak strength, essentially unable to withstand a single One-Move Enemy from her.

Fighting such weak opponents provided her with no tempering effect whatsoever.

If it weren’t for her concerns about the Xuan Yuan Sect previously, she would have long gone down the mountain for distant Training.

Now, the Xuan Yuan Sect has completely sealed its mountain, and True Monarch Lu Ge is severely wounded and has Fallen in Realm, his life or death unknown.

For her, this is an excellent opportunity.

After attending the Golden Core Grand Banquet, she will, like Chen Zhuxiao, descend the mountain to travel everywhere, using this to temper herself and strive for the Purple Mansion.

The Vermilion Bird Burning the Heavens. If it cannot break free from the Cage and roam the Nine Heavens freely, how can it speak of Burning the Heavens?

While the Chen Family was busy with the matters of the Xuan Prefecture Auction and the Golden Core Grand Banquet, on a certain Isolated Island in the East Sea.

Mo Li propped up her cheek with her left hand, her eyes opening and closing, seemingly dozing off.

In front of her, Chen Zhuxiao sat cross-legged beneath a Three-Zhang Boulder, his body covered in dazzling Lightning. A Lightning Mark was present on his glabella, resembling a third eye, seemingly containing a terrifying power within.

”Divine Firmament Calamity Punishment Immortal Canon... taking Calamity Punishment as his Daoist Title, yet Cultivating the Dao of Divine Thunder. This Immortal Lord is truly incredible.”

Chen Zhuxiao was shaken in his heart. That day, the xuan shu thunder punishment seal rioted, activating the dao mark left between heaven and earth by Immortal Lord Divine Firmament Calamity Punishment.

Before the dao mark completely dissipated, this magnificent existence, one of the Nine Lords of the Ancient Thunder Palace, imparted his Natal Immortal Method to him.

The immortal foundation forged by this Immortal Canon in the Foundation Establishment Realm is precisely Clearing the Nine Heavens!

And the Clearing the Nine Heavens immortal foundation, upon achieving Purple Mansion, can engrave an ultimate Divine Thunder Offensive Divine Ability, also named Clearing the Nine Heavens.

This Divine Ability maximizes the speed and destruction of Divine Thunder; it can shatter even the defensive Divine Abilities cast by Thick Earth Purple Mansion, truly possessing boundless Divine Might.

As a supreme Immortal Canon created by an Immortal Lord, the contents recorded within the Divine Firmament Calamity Punishment Immortal Canon are naturally more than just these; there are also Immortal Arts that Purple Mansion True Persons can barely Cultivate.

Chen Zhuxiao has already decided which one to Cultivate. The Lightning Mark on his glabella is preparation for Cultivating this Immortal Art.

This Immortal Art is named Divine Firmament Calamity Punishment Dao Extinguishing Immortal Light, requiring the use of a supreme Secret Technique to open a Divine Firmament Calamity Punishment Immortal Eye on the glabella.

Only by relying on this Immortal Eye can one unleash the Divine Firmament Calamity Punishment Dao Extinguishing Immortal Light, Destroying All Evil Through Tribulation and punishing their sins!

Whoosh!

The Lightning dissipated, and Chen Zhuxiao opened his eyes, seeing the sleepy Mo Li constantly lowering and raising her head, which he found somewhat amusing.

”Miss Mo Li?”

”Huh?”

Mo Li rubbed her eyes, yawned, and looked like she hadn’t woken up yet.

”Let’s go. I know how to activate the Teleportation Array to send us back.”

Chen Zhuxiao stood up, his words filled with confidence.

”Oh, okay.”

Mo Li stood up and tilted her head, observing Chen Zhuxiao in front of her. She felt that he had changed somehow.

”Are you ready, Miss Mo Li?”

”I’m ready.”

Chen Zhuxiao took a deep breath, extended his Divine Sense and thoughts, and communicated with the xuan shu thunder punishment seal floating in the thunder tribulation pool.

The Immortal Artifact trembled slightly, seemingly responding. Then, the Formation Patterns on its surface lit up one by one, and streaks of thick Lightning instantly rushed out from his body, transforming into various Thunder Dao Phenomena.

The Teleportation Jade Platform below was stimulated, and the interwoven Formation Patterns lit up. A familiar light bloomed, and the figures of the two instantly disappeared.

Swish!

After the dazzling light dissipated, Chen Zhuxiao and Mo Li stabilized themselves and recovered their senses.

This Cross-Domain Teleportation truly isn’t something ordinary people can withstand.

”This isn’t the Tianli Mountain Range! Where the hell did this bring us now?!”

Chen Zhuxiao’s eyes widened as he looked at the unfamiliar scene before him, feeling an urge to curse.
