Primordial Star Scripture

Ye Chen had not expected that at the grand auction of the Heavenly Evolution Continent, he would once again encounter something related to the Northern Ming Clan!

In a wave of shock, the robed elder continued, "This 'Void Heaven Sword Embryo' was gifted to a friend of the lower realm by the Northern Ming Clan. The friend entrusted it to me for auction."

"This item possesses three divine powers. Firstly, it is a Semi-Divine Artifact that can evolve toward becoming a Divine Artifact; secondly, the item can nurture swords. Not to mention sacred-grade swords, but even slightly lesser treasure-grade or spirit-grade swords have the potential, through the nurturing of this 'Void Heaven Sword Embryo', to eventually evolve into a Divine Artifact sword!"

"If the nurtured sword and the Void Heaven Sword Embryo both successfully evolve, it means that you will have two Divine Artifacts—one Divine Artifact grade 'Void Heaven Sword Embryo' and one Divine Artifact grade sword nurtured from the Void Heaven Sword Embryo!"

"Of course, nurturing and evolving could also fail. Here, I need to mention the third divine power of this item. The third divine power is that this 'Void Heaven Sword Embryo' is also a special space for Sword Cultivators. Practicing swordsmanship within the Void Heaven Sword Embryo can lead to great achievements, and this special space also contains a powerful sword technique Divine Art from the Northern Ming Clan!"

The first treasure of the finale, three divine powers.

First, it evolves into a Divine Artifact by itself; second, it can nurture Divine Artifact swords; third, it is a special sword path space containing Divine Arts.

After the robed elder had finished introducing the function of this "Void Heaven Sword Embryo", countless Sword Cultivators were already prepared to start competing for the auction, and many were even lamenting that they didn't have enough top-grade spiritual stones to purchase the Void Heaven Sword Embryo!

At that moment, the robed elder finally announced the starting bid for the Void Heaven Sword Embryo: "The first treasure of the finale, the Void Heaven Sword Embryo, starting at a bid of 10,000 top-grade spiritual stones!"

10,000 top-grade spiritual stones—this was perhaps the entire fortune of many late-stage Heavenly Saints, and it was only the starting price for this treasure!

This caused many warriors in the auction hall to be stunned.

But there were some wealthy late-stage Heavenly Saints who didn't care about the high price at all. For late-stage Heavenly Saints, a Semi-Divine Artifact was more precious than any spiritual stone!

"I bid 13,000 top-grade spiritual stones!" A late-stage Heavenly Saint elder with hair as white and fluttering as sword aura swiftly raised the auction price by an additional 3,000 top-grade spiritual stones!

"Sword-Hiding Elder!" As soon as people saw the figure of the elder emerge from the private booth, many recognized him. "The Sword-Hiding Elder has been at the late-stage Heavenly Saint level for over three thousand years. It is said that he even once went to the upper realm to study with the Northern Ming Clan. Unexpectedly, he has also come to this auction. It seems he is determined to win the Void Heaven Sword Embryo!"

As soon as the Sword-Hiding Elder finished speaking, another late-stage Heavenly Saint shouted a price: "15,000 top-grade spiritual stones!"

Everyone turned to look at this late-stage Heavenly Saint and recognized him: "This is Elder He from the first sect of the Heavenly Dome Continent, Chaotic Star Valley, a formidable Sword Cultivator!"

"17,000 top-grade spiritual stones!" As soon as Elder He spoke, the Sword-Hiding Elder once again shouted a new auction price, raising it by another 2,000 top-grade spiritual stones.

This rate of increase made Elder He from Chaotic Star Valley hesitate, his gaze faltering.

Many other late-stage Heavenly Saints who had been prepared to bid were also deterred by the rapidly increasing auction price.

While Elder He was still hesitating, another voice came from a private booth: "I bid 20,000 top-grade spiritual stones!"

This voice came from the private booth where Ao Lei was seated.

"People from the Beast Alliance, they are also vying for this item." Many knew that Ao Lei and others were in that booth, and when they heard Ao Lei also making a bid, many warriors discussed, "It's rumored that the Alliance Leader of the Beast Alliance, the number one person of the Beast Mainland, Ao Chan, has always been exploring the great secrets of swordsmanship. It seems he too is determined to acquire this Void Heaven Sword Embryo."

"Ao Chan is the Alliance Leader of the five continents. He probably doesn't know about this Void Heaven Sword Embryo, otherwise, he would have likely come personally. Even though he isn't here, his beloved son, Ao Lei, will probably win this item for him."

While everyone was discussing Ao Lei, in the private void box where Ao Lei was, he looked at Ao Xuan and Ao Ming, two late-stage Heavenly Saints: "Xuan Uncle, Ming Uncle, how many spirit stones do we still have that can compete for this Void Heaven Sword Embryo?"

Ao Xuan said, "For this occasion, the alliance leader specifically prepared seventy thousand top-grade spirit stones. That divine artifact is likely worth between thirty to forty thousand top-grade spirit stones. Young master, if the Void Heaven Sword Embryo can be had for under thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones, we should try for it. I doubt there are many Heavenly Saints who dare to call out a price over thirty thousand to compete for this item."

"You must know, these seventy thousand top-grade spirit stones were accumulated by the alliance leader managing the entire Beast Alliance. Which other Heavenly Saint could possess a fortune like the alliance leader?"

Hearing that there was still room to raise the bid, Ao Lei nodded in satisfaction.

What he wanted was confidence. With thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones as backing, he had the confidence to compete with those late-stage Heavenly Saints!

When Elder He from Chaotic Star Valley heard Ao Lei call out a bid of twenty thousand top-grade spirit stones, he sighed deeply, "What a pity, such a pity. The Void Heaven Sword Embryo has appeared with great difficulty, yet it's fated to elude me."

Elder He looked toward the Sword-Hiding Elder, "Brother Sword-Hiding, I shall not contend for it anymore. You take a look."

The Sword-Hiding Elder nodded. He took a deep breath and looked toward the private void box of Ao Lei, "I bid twenty-one thousand top-grade spirit stones."

At this stage, the Sword-Hiding Elder knew that the competition was probably just between him and the Beast Alliance now.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Twenty-two thousand top-grade spirit stones," Ao Lei declared without so much as blinking an eye.

"Twenty-two thousand five hundred top-grade spirit stones," the Sword-Hiding Elder called out one last time.

"Twenty-three thousand top-grade spirit stones!" Seeing that the Sword-Hiding Elder could no longer raise the price, Ao Lei smiled and called out a new price.

At that moment, the Sword-Hiding Elder sighed and sat back down, "Never mind, I still need to compete for the final item of the auction. I can no longer bid for the Void Heaven Sword Embryo."

Once the Sword-Hiding Elder sat down, there was no one left in the entire auction hall still competing with Ao Lei.

Ao Lei looked around the auction hall with a triumphant gleam in his eye, "Is there anyone else who would like to bid?"

In Ao Lei's eyes, even the Sword-Hiding Elder couldn't outbid him. There was no longer anyone competing with him for the first finale item.

Just as Ao Lei was surveying his surroundings with an unrivaled pride, a faint voice rose up, "I bid twenty-five thousand top-grade spirit stones!"

Whoosh.

When this voice rang out, it sent a shock through everyone gathered.

Someone else was bidding?

As they looked in the direction of the voice, and saw the bidding youth, disbelief filled their eyes. "It's him?!"

And the look of triumph on Ao Lei's face was abruptly halted by the voice. He turned to the speaker and, seeing the person smiling lightly at him, Ao Lei could hardly believe it as he exclaimed, "Ye Chen, it's you?!"
