《Celestial Journey》[Auction (1)]
Advertisement
Teleporting back to the Blazing Sun Sect's gigantic planetary array, Alexander looked amused.
'Since I have one, of course I know where the damage can be done efficiently.'
Watching the hundreds if not thousands of Tier-10 Worlds orbit the humongous floating sect in the middle, Alexander released his Divine Sense to encompass everything.
'This broke fuck used barely any Tier-10 World above the Sixth Tribulation Tier... Higher cultivation base than me, but he sure doesn't care about his sect !' Thought the man who did not even remember where his own sect was.
Not intending on lingering around, Alexander circulated his [World Shattering Art] while pushing his Star Qi madly. Striking forward continuously, many worlds ended up crumbling, but some did not receive much damage.
'Even with my cultivation at the ninth layer it's not enough to destroy a word at the Fourth Tribulation Tier and above without using any Celestial Qi...'
'A shame, but I still managed to destroy the array fundamentally !'
Not waiting for anyone to bother him, Alexander teleported back at the edge of the Primordial Main Worlds, passing the purple barrier unindered, he continued down, but just as he was about to continue downward, he noticed multiple flying artifacts going in a specific direction, however what caught his attention was not the rarity of these artifacts, nor the cultivation base of the people aboard, no, it was the blazing sun pattern on their side.
'Blazing Sun Sect's branch ?' Raising a brow, Alexander could not hide his smile.
Ascended Sects like the Blazing Sun Sect or Alexander's Grand Palm Sect were technically protected by an Ascension Realm Overlord, on top of it, they had a sect master at the Primordial Divinity Realm along many other things. But how could these sect nurture over one trillion experts at the Divine Phantasm Realm ? When the True Star Realm was the lowest requirement to ascend to the Primordial Main Worlds ? Of course they used branches within lower planes. Since even inside the Main Realms, a chance to enter an Ascended Sect was truly a Heaven sent opportunity for any cultivator !
'Well, don't mind if I do !' Rushing ahead, Alexander did not bother himself with hiding, simply reducing everything possessing a blazing sun pattern to dust.
'Take this ! [Dao Blast], [Star Palm], [Heaven's Fall] !' Pushing his already refilled World Core, Star Qi filled the entire void, as clouds formed above everything in sight, explosions of Dao, gigantic palms of Star Qi and humongous palms of clouds fell everywhere, chaos ensued right after, cultivator after cultivator died along their future prospects.
'I'm sure they dreamed of joining this fucker's sect, they never thought about dying here ! Truly ironic !' Not stopping in the slighest, it did not take long for the dozens of transports to be obliterated, leaving behind nothing but massive amounts of residual Star Qi and Dao Intent.
'Alright, I'm done, let's go down.'
Descending from the Main Realms to the Upper Realms, Alexander looked around before speeding up at a random Tier-5 World.
Finding a black colored world, Alexander used his Divine Sense to encompass it. Finding a sect on the stronger side, Alexander teleported it's sect master at the Dao Heart Realm to him. Quickly taking his memories, Alexander smiled.
'Perfect, the auction is today !' Throwing the dead husk of the sect master aside, Alexander teleported inside a huge city.

'The average cultivation is around the low stage Nascent Soul Realm... For a Greater World this is quite high, especially so many, all inside a single city.'
Releasing his Divine Sense once more with the intention to scan every cultivation levels, Alexander found the reason for it.
'So many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators... Oh, isn't that weird... This sect, with their cultivation levels, isn't that a Tier-7 Sect ? What are they doing here...'
Taking note of the abstract circular emblem on it's walls, Alexander took another look at the sect's surroundings.
'Well, well, well... Are these guys playing hide and seek ?' Observing the stealthy position of the sect's infrastructure, Alexander changed his Divine Sense's target to the city he was currently in.
'I found a dozen of them with that same emblem...' Taking note of a dozen cultivators in blue robes ornated by the same emblem he saw. He simply ignored them.
'Just a bunch of nobodies, a couple Saint Realm ones protecting ten Saint Embryonic Realm cultivators...'
Walking for a few minutes, Alexander soon found the auction house he wanted to visit, seeing that it had yet to start, he simply tried entering it.
"Sir, do you have an invitation, since the auction has yet to start, we cannot let anyone enter freely."
Looking at the tall and robust man, Alexander threw a crystal at the man.
"For a little Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, it should be useful, I've got many things I want to put on auction. Care to inform your superior ?"
Listening, the man glanced at the crystal inside his hand. Seeing the powerful aura radiating along it's moving insides, the man recognized the transparent white crystal.
"S-Soul c-c-crystal !!" Taking an even closer look, his eyes filled with excitement and shock, the man could clearly see the blue mist moving freely inside the rectangular crystal.
"I'll inform the owner right now ! Hey you, take over me, I've got to introduce this gentleman !"
"Follow me sir !" Leading the way, the man guided Alexander deeper inside the building, quickly arriving at a door.
knock
"What is it ? I'm busy !" The man only had to knock once to gather the attention of the owner, her irritated yet charming voice flowing from behind the door.
"Madame, a gentleman has items he would like to auction ! I am sure he will be able to surprise even you !"
"Why did you let him enter ?! I said to not let a single soul inside this place, are my words rubbish to you ?!"
Feeling embarassed, being reprimended in front of customer, the man still pushed further.
"Madame, he.... he tipped me with a soul crystal !"
Turning around, the man tried giving an explanation to Alexander when the door opened wide, smashing the poor man behind the head, sending him rolling a few meters away.
"Did you say a soul crystal ?"
"Are you the owner of this place ?" Looking calmly at the charming middle aged woman, Alexander patiently waited for her answer.
"Are you the one who gave away a soul crystal ? This idiot said you wanted to auction items, what are they ?"
Frowning, Alexander snorted.
"Maybe if you gave me some hospitality I wouldn't mind telling you..."
Realising her mistake, she composed herself.

"It's my fault, sir, please come in and take a seat."
Smiling, Alexander entered the office behind the door. Not paying attention at the open view behind the desk, as the wall was made of stylish glass, Alexander simply took a seat on a red sofa next to a coffee table.
"Let's get to it, here, I want to auction these." Throwing random junk from his space ring, Alexander did not care about appearance.
"Haha, sir is-" Stopping in the middle of her sentence, the woman could not help gulping.
'What are these ?! Each of them is a true treasure ! Even the lowest is a... wait, what tier are these artifacts ?!'
Noticing the look on the woman, Alexander sighed.
'I should've known.'
"The worst one is a Middle Grade King-Tier artifact, the best is a High Grade Divine-Tier artifact."
'What's with that face ? I know most worlds are isolated from others in some places, but here it shouldn't be that bad honestly...'
"So ? Will you put it on the auction ?" Alexander started to become impatient.
"Of course ! Sir, you don't have to worry, the auction will start within the next ten minutes.
Hey, guide sir here to the vip suite."
"Right away !" Standing at attention, the man switfly turned toward the seated Alexander, pointing at the door.
"Please follow me sir."
"Sure."
After following the man, Alexander entered a luxurious box, it's one-way window showing the entire auction's main hall. Seats were orderly placed everywhere, Alexander estimated there to be around a thousand seats.
'Pretty small...'
Not bothering with the details, he simply waited patiently.
Soon, ten minutes had passed and people started pouring in. Quickly taking their seat.
After another ten minutes, every seat was taken, even the other vip suites.
On a stage further inside the hall, a beautiful young girl in attractive clothes stood there, before she opened her delicate mouth.
"Everyone welcome ! In today's auction, we have received peerless treasures a few minutes before now. We will be auctioning them at the end."
"Peerless treasures ? Are they just flowery words ?" Said a chubby middle aged man.
"What do you know ? This is the Yin Tempest Auction house ! They wouldn't lie to us like this."
Like this, the crowd calmed itself as time elipsed.
"It seems that everyone here is quite curious ! So let's not waste anymore of your precious time !" With a bright smile ornating her face, the young girl called for the servants, pushing a tray with a box on top of it.
"Now, let's start with the first item !" Opening the box, a glowing green pill appeared, it's texture opaque and smooth.
"The first item is a 'Life Prolonging Pill, it is also a High-Grade one ! The starting bid is 1 000 middle grade spirit stones, each bid must be an increase of 50 at the very least ! !" Already expecting the outcome of presenting this item, the young girl was not surprised by the outburst inside the hall.
"Are you serious ?! A life prolonging pill, that has reached the high grade nonetheless, as the first item ?"
"The pill capable of increasing the life expectancy of someone by 50 years ?!"
"What are you talking about ?! This is for the low-grade ones, this high-grade pill can increase it by over 900 years !!"
As everyone was still shocked at the first item's preciousness, a middle aged voice of a man resounded.
"1 050 !"
This voice created silence throughout the hall. But this same silence was broken by a middle aged woman's voice from the other side.
"Hmph ! Sect master Yui sure is stingy ! This queen bids 1100 !"
Hearing this, Alexander almost choked at this ridiculous scene.
'Let alone the fact that you poor fucks still use spirit stones, what's with this 'queen' or whatever... Also increasing by the minimum amount and saying the other bidder was stingy, that's a shameless kid if I've ever seen one !' Shaking his head, Alexander did not bother trying to comprehend the life of the poor.
"1 300 !"
...
"4 100 !"
After a few minutes of bidding, sect master Yui ended up winning, not intending on repaying animosity with kindness however, he did not hold back his remark.
"Sect master Rolt, who is the stingy one now ? Can't even afford this little pill with your so called 'deep pockets' ? And don't even give me that cheap excuse of 'I just don't want to spend so much on the first item', you're broke and we both know it ! Look at you, Dao Heart Realm yet can't take out a meansle 4 000 middle grade spirit stones."
'Damn, this kid is this mad ? Do they hate each other or something...' Enjoying the show, Alexander sipped on his own 'Million Year Dark Wine'.
"You ! Stop slandering me ! So what if I changed my mind ?! I don't care about this little pill anyway !"
"A-Alright, everyone, I think it is time to see the next item !" Trying her best to attenuate the fiery mood within the hall, the young girl on the stage could only keep the auction going.
As the tray arrived, on it, everyone could see a white cloth shielding the object beneath from the piercing gazes of the crowd.
"The next item is this !" Taking the cloth off the object, not a single cultivator present could not tell what it was, it was a sword, a very dull and ordinary sword.
"What the hell is this ?! Is this how your auction treat it's customers, with garbage ?!" A fat man cried out in disdain.
Coughing from the already angered guests, the young girl could only continue.
"This is a beautifully crafted sword, made by our sponsor 'White Anvil Chamber of Commerce' !!"
As if not seeing the veins appearing on every single guest's face present, she followed.
"Please give a round of applause to the chairman of the White Anvil Chamber of Commerce, mister Guivon !"
*Crack*
*Rumble*
Aura after aura leaked out of the guests, as they could barely hold in their anger.
'Are you fucking serious right now ?! A sponsor ?! In the middle of the auction ! How about you say it before it starts or at the end ?!!' Many could not help cursing inside.
'I'm gonna butcher this chamber of commerce after this !' Thought a peak Dao Heart Realm expert, clearly angered by such shameless boasting of a below average sword.
