Chapter 5779: Mysterious Auction

The Shi Kingdom.

After dealing with matters from the Yue Kingdom, Jian Wushuang had no intention of cultivating. He had planned to further comprehend the Dao of the Sword and completely perfect the Starry Sky Chronicles for the future path. However, the incident with that monster dampened his spirits entirely.

Fortunately, time passed quickly. In just a few days, everything seemed to change.

One day, before dawn had even broken, Jian Wushuang found himself standing alone outside a secluded alley in the eastern part of the city, waiting for Lian Xing.

According to the address on the token, this was the place.

It all seemed rather mysterious.

Unlike the auctions he had attended in the past, this place was not grand or ostentatious.

Not only was it secluded, but it was also very quiet.

Figures as prominent as Lian Xing would come here.

And the treasures traded here were valued in Primordial Stones.

The threshold was high, to say the least.

The weakest participants were probably Universe Masters.

And not just any Universe Masters, but likely those equivalent to Wu Li, the weakest among the Ten Great Families’ Patriarchs in the Yue Kingdom.

In this place, however, he was just an inconspicuous figure.

After all, only someone like Lian Xing could attend such auctions.

There were probably many Universe Masters at the Six Tribulation or Scattered Tribulation experts attending.

As for Jian Wushuang, being an Emperor, he didn’t stand a chance.

He could only wait patiently for Lian Xing to arrive.

He didn’t have to wait long.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the bluestone pavement of the alley, startling Jian Wushuang.

As the bluestone slab disappeared, a dark hole with stone steps was revealed.

Just as Jian Wushuang was at a loss, a crisp sound of footsteps came from below.

Soon, Jian Wushuang saw a pale-faced, withered old woman ascending from below.

Judging solely from her aura, she was at least a Four Tribulation expert.

However, she was not a Universe Master, just a Scattered Tribulation expert.

Although her strength was not formidable, her appearance was quite frightening.

“Keke, esteemed guest, please follow me!” The old woman saw Jian Wushuang and spoke without moving her lips, her hands tucked into her sleeves.

Jian Wushuang was taken aback for a moment, then attempted to mention Lian Xing’s name.

But upon further thought, such a mysterious auction, with its entrance underground, was likely intended to conceal identities.

Jian Wushuang refrained from questioning and obediently followed the old woman underground.

Descending the stairs made of blue stones, they walked for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

Remarkably, their pace wasn’t leisurely; they didn’t just step down one step at a time, but rather each step equated to a hundred.

From top to bottom, Jian Wushuang descended at least a million steps.

This place was at least 10,000 feet below the surface.

In such profound depths, Jian Wushuang didn’t anticipate finding a palace built by someone.

As he entered, the hall was already filled with people.

Upon his entry, the blue stone steps leading to the hall vanished. The entire hall seemed to float in mid-air, devoid of spatial fluctuations in the surroundings. It was as if this place was disconnected from the Shi Kingdom altogether.

Jian Wushuang didn’t dwell on it; since he was here, he patiently waited.

The old woman escorted him to a relatively prominent throne before departing, informing him that the auction would commence before dawn.

This puzzled Jian Wushuang; being underground, how would they know if it was dawn or not?

Just as he pondered this question, he noticed a crystal ball on the table in front of the throne.

90 percent of it was black, with the remaining ten percent white, indicating the current time outside.

“So miraculous!” Jian Wushuang gently touched it, feeling its unique material without understanding how it was crafted.

He surveyed the surroundings with his Thought power, feeling overwhelmed by the powerful auras.

Half of the experts present were Universe Masters, while the other half were Scattered Tribulation experts.

Most of the Universe Masters were at the Fifth Tribulation, the pinnacle of power in the Yue Kingdom.

Among the Universe Masters of the Sixth Tribulation, there were quite a few.

As for those in the Scattered Tribulation, the weakest among them were only at the Fifth Tribulation.

This threshold, it could be said, was extremely high.

Yet, he didn’t recognize a single one of these powerful beings.

Sitting there was somewhat boring.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and wait quietly for the auction to begin, a familiar aura wafted from afar.

Following that, many strong figures in the hall began to speak up.

“Brother Tonghe!”

“Tonghe Sword Immortal!”

“Li Changsheng!”

Jian Wushuang also followed their gazes.

The person who had arrived was none other than Sword Immortal Tonghe, who had a connection with him.

Li Changsheng!

He didn’t come alone, though; he brought someone with him. It was his granddaughter, Li Ming’er.

Seeing the other party walking towards him, Jian Wushuang quickly got up and respectfully said, “Senior Tonghe!”

“Ah, Wushuang, you’re here too!”

Tonghe didn’t seem too surprised; he believed that Jian Wushuang had the strength and background to participate in such an auction.

And it wasn’t just talk; Jian Wushuang’s background was indeed not small. Although not as exaggerated as his strength. But in the entire Ancient Wood Continent, he was considered a top figure.

He was the husband of the princess of the Yue Kingdom and the guarantor of the Daughter Kingdom’s ruler, who was the daughter of the newly promoted Universe Master of the Seventh Tribulation.

Plus, now he had also become acquainted with Lian Xing, the top Divine Forgemaster of the Ancient Wood Continent.

The strong figures he knew were all top-notch.

The surrounding strong figures, seeing Tonghe Sword Immortal chatting with a junior, began to ponder.

“Wushuang?”

“Could it be the Jian Wushuang of the Yue Kingdom, the unmatched swordsman?”

Someone furrowed their brows.
