The guests were torn between shock and awe. On the one hand, 11 billion was already an astronomical money, and to offer an additional billion was insane. On the other hand, the Lightning Sword Sect was known for their wealth and power, and Yan Taishan was clearly not afraid to display his wealth. After all, he was the most genius young man of the sect, who was currently also first on the list of candidates to become the successor of the sect head.However, Yan Taishan himself remained calm and collected, his eyes fixed on private room number ten. He had to win the auction and get his hands on the Ice Dragon beast cores. He knew that the Lightning Sword Sect needed the cores to refine a powerful weapon, and the cores would be a valuable asset in the upcoming battle against their enemies.The beautiful woman in private room number ten, Shu Meiyin, looked surprised for a moment. She had not expected Yan Taishan to outbid her so soon, and she had not thought that the competition would bec

Next, some items were auctioned off.Although the bidding war was equally fierce, none of the items managed to get the unimaginable price that the Ice Dragon beast core did, falling to a more acceptable price range for everyone.Jiang Shuyin stood confidently at the podium, his voice booming through the room. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the final item of this extraordinary auction. Behold, the legendary Dragon Heart Vest!"When a beautiful woman carried the Dragon Heart Vest with both hands onto the auction stage, everyone seated in the hall stood up, craning their necks and opening their eyes wide as they stared unwaveringly at the vest.Under many piercing hot gazes, Jiang Shuyin explained the usage and assessment results to everyone present. "This celestial rank vest, imbued with the essence of the dragon, is said to grant the wearer immense strength. It is a treasure beyond measure, and I am confident that it will fetch a price that will surpass all expectations."The a

Back to the present, Chi'er paused for a moment, considering. She knew that she couldn't just disobey her young master's orders, but she also didn't want to offend these important people."I'm sorry, Miss Jiang," Chi'er finnaly said, her voice firm but respectful. "But I'm afraid I cannot do that."Elder Hu, who had been waiting with impatience, became furious at Chi'er's refusal. He couldn't believe how this lowly servant could be so arrogant and disrespectful.Without warning, he stepped forward and attempted to break down the door to room number 2. But as soon as he touched the door, he was met with a powerful surge of energy that sent him flying back.Everyone gasped in shock, unable to believe what had just happened. Elder Hu was one of the most powerful cultivators in Shu Clan, and yet he had been easily defeated by a simple door.The other elder, quickly rushed over to check on him, but he was already unconscious.Shu Meiyin and Jiang Shuyin were both stunned by the display of

As the stormy sky darkened, a radiant glow of divine warning illuminated the area. The light enveloped Adam's body, intensifying the atmosphere."Young Master!" Chi'er shouted frantically, rushing forward, but Jiang Shuyin swiftly blocked her path."Stay back!" Jiang Shuyin commanded urgently. "If this is indeed the tribulation lightning, you must know that no one can stop it or intervene!"For those who sought to become gods, tribulation lightning was their ultimate test, a form of divine retribution. The challenger was not allowed to rely on others' help. In fact, those who interfered would face the wrath of heaven.The sky erupted in a blaze of lightning, with rows of divine bolts striking directly at Adam.The city of Hebei was filled with the cacophony of shocked cries. In the cultivators' knowledge, tribulation lightning typically appeared after a few minutes of the lightning domain's formation.It was as if heaven granted the challenger a brief window of mercy, allowing them t

Adam was surprised by the sudden turn of events, but he couldn't deny the thrill he felt at having two of the most powerful figures in the realm competing for his allegiance. As he mulled over his options, he could feel the tension in the room rising.Jiang Yong was visibly displeased by Yan Wantong's bold move, but he remained calm and composed. "I understand your point, Brother Yan," he said. "But I believe that Mount Wuling can offer Adam much more than just lightning cultivation. We have the best resources and connections in the realm, and our teachings encompass all aspects of the Grand Dao."Yan Wantong raised an eyebrow. "Resources and connections are all well and good, Brother Jiang. But lightning cultivation is not something that can be taught easily. It requires a deep understanding of the elemental forces and a mastery of the Lightning Sword manual. My sect can provide Adam with both."Jiang Yong's expression turned cold, and he shot a glare at Yan Wantong. "Do not forget,
