“Elder Gongsun, then it is clear that we must not provoke the Xiao Clan—they cannot be counted as enemies. Yet I am very curious: what kind of person was this son of the Supreme Divine Emperor, Xiao Jian?” The middle‑aged woman’s voice remained calm, though her gaze betrayed a curiosity she could not conceal. The figure she mentioned had become the central topic—not only because of his lineage, but because of what he had quietly accomplished. Her eyes focused on a point in the air, as if imagining the one named and trying to grasp the presence now spoken of by every great power. For her, merely knowing the name Xiao Jian was insufficient. She wanted more than his title or achievements. She wondered how someone could advance so far without leaving a trace detectable by the galaxy’s major powers. Was it because of protection from the Supreme Divine Emperor, or because his power defied ordinary logic? “Fifth Celestial,” Elder Gongsun replied, “I expect that soon the name will be h

The sky above the Celestial Pavilion had appeared calm, yet inside it so many great figures from across the Sacred‑Body Galaxy had gathered. When its heavens stretched without ripple, beneath that calm hid pressure invisible to ordinary eyes. Those who could sense it knew that a great storm was brewing beneath the surface.People had already taken their respective floors according to the fees they had paid. Power structure was not determined by strength alone, but also by the value they had paid to occupy higher places—literally and symbolically.Some remained fixedly watching the central area, where the auction was held. They waited, observed, and calculated their moves with precision. Others focused on the Pavilion’s structure itself, trying to pierce its layers, seeking a weakness—or perhaps merely satisfying curiosity.Each floor’s atmosphere brimmed with competitive aura, ambition, and unseen tension. No shouts or open fights erupted, yet every gesture—even a glance—carried calcu

The atmosphere shifted instantly. What was once calm turned tense; every gaze grew sharper, every breath felt quicker. The air that had been filled only with soft conversations and calm glances was now saturated with an uninvited pressure. For those hungry for breakthroughs, those ten spots were more valuable than all the treasures in the galaxy. Some immediately stood from their seats, preparing observation artifacts; others opened their divine rings to check the number of divine stones they possessed. Several had already begun silent communications with their groups, forming strategies to win the gamble that was about to begin. The Heavenly Pavilion had turned into a battlefield yet to erupt. Mental pressure and strategic auras filled each floor like shadowy armies. Even the Elders, who usually upheld calm, now looked on with alertness and deep interest, while streams of silent communication between factions and great clans surged throughout. “Now, I invite the esteemed authoriti

The Eighth Celestial took out a token. As the token was thrown, it immediately burst into a blinding light. The light was no ordinary glow. It wasn’t just bright—it carried dimensional pressure that made time feel like it slowed for a moment. All eyes across every floor turned toward the light, and some even held their breath without realizing it. This light was not a simple flash. It had a complex structure that pierced the spatial boundaries of the Heavenly Pavilion. In a split second, the floor on which the figures stood felt weightless, as if lifted and frozen in silence. The previous buzz quieted without warning, replaced by a deep silence carrying immense pressure. The light spread slowly in every direction, passing through walls, secret chambers, and formation barriers without resistance, until it dissolved into the air like luminous mist gradually fading away. After the light faded, everyone immediately saw a vast room—more accurately, it was a miniature world. This spac

All eyes immediately turned toward him. The man wasn’t anyone important among the big names of the galaxy, but his bravery immediately elevated his presence. He knew the risks, but he didn’t hesitate. The Eighth Celestial looked at the executioner. “Cut!” The executioner nodded, then swung his large sword. BAANG!!! The stone, as large as a hill, was chopped up like minced meat. The swing appeared light, but the power behind it made the mini-earth around the stone tremble slightly. But after the stone was cut, no Nirvana Crystal was found. “You were unlucky,” said the Eighth Celestial. The middle-aged man’s face showed no change. He merely nodded briefly, then stepped back. There were no excessive signs of disappointment, no overbearing emotional reactions. Yet, beneath his calm exterior, everyone knew that seventy million high-grade Divine Stones had vanished in the blink of an eye. “I’ll try again!” A voice came from another direction, quickly followed by more people moving.

Hearing Gongsun Ya’s words, Xiao Tian remained calm. He looked at the Eighth Celestial. “Senior, may I ask a question?” “Go ahead! But don’t waste my time.” Xiao Tian nodded. Then he spoke in a composed tone. “Senior, are there any background requirements for purchasing those stones? If so, perhaps you forgot to announce them. Because I didn’t hear you mention anyone’s background when explaining the Nirvana gambling system.” The Eighth Celestial answered firmly, “There are no such requirements. The only condition here is one—having enough money!” WHOOSSHH!!! Xiao Tian waved his hand, and seven hundred million high-grade Divine Stones immediately floated toward the Eighth Celestial. All the stones were neatly arranged in a small formation that rotated in the air, creating a light pressure that felt like a storm to the observers. The roar of the formation shook the ceiling of the miniature world. Some guests on the upper floors even stood up from their seats unconsciously.

“Congratulations to the guest on the two-hundredth floor. You have obtained twenty-two Nirvana Crystals,” said the Eighth Celestial in a flat tone, though he couldn’t fully hide his surprise. His voice was calm—neither trembling nor raised—but behind the calm he tried to maintain, there was a subtle fluctuation in the dimensional pressure around him, signaling that even the Eighth Celestial could not entirely conceal the waves of shock from what he had just witnessed with his own eyes. Xiao Tian received the Nirvana Crystals without the slightest change in expression. As the crystals landed in his hand, a faint vibration, almost undetectable to anyone but himself, spread from his palm to the depths of his dantian. It was no ordinary resonance—it carried a gentle warmth that flowed with precision, as if it had recognized Xiao Tian’s body as a rightful vessel, encountering no resistance whatsoever. The extremely soft Nirvana energy slowly seeped in. It didn’t surge, didn’t jolt, but

“Kid, just keep setting stones. Now, work for me! I’ll pay you a satisfying price.” “Work for me, and not only will I replace all the high-grade Divine Stones you’ve spent, I’ll also offer additional rewards.” One by one, sound transmissions arrived from all directions. They came from unseen corners, creating a continuous hum that struck Xiao Tian’s consciousness from every angle. These transmissions were not ordinary conversations. They carried layers of hidden intentions—some offered soft persuasion coated with sweet promises, others used authoritative pressure laced with veiled threats. Some came from great factions with interstellar influence, while others came from powerful individuals whose names weren’t even recorded in history. But they all shared one thing in common—they wanted Xiao Tian on their side. His ears buzzed incessantly. Xiao Tian rubbed his temple with one hand, as if trying to ease the throbbing pulse growing at his temples. The vibrations from these transm

The Fifth Celestial, who had remained silent all this time, finally spoke softly but firmly. “Brother Sixth, you’re indeed the sharpest when it comes to formations. But what surprises me is that he can identify every stone that contains a Nirvana Crystal. Perhaps the person we’ve been searching for is already before us.” That sentence carried more weight than most could imagine. Very few knew that these three Celestials had been searching for a specific individual for a long time—someone with a unique observational technique. Someone capable of perceiving the hidden layers within high-level formations, even those created by the Heavenly Pavilion itself. They exchanged glances and nodded slowly. Indeed, they had been looking for someone with special observational powers. The fact that Xiao Tian could discern the contents of stones concealed by the Pavilion’s formation was a clear sign. Especially since the concealment formations used in the miniature world were no ordinary ones—th

Xiao Tian walked among them. He was neither rushed nor slow. With each step, there was a steadiness that could not be disturbed by the unfamiliar atmosphere surrounding the place. His shoulders remained relaxed, his back straight. His movements were calm, as if the dimensional corridor—one that could make hundreds of core disciples faint—was nothing more than an ordinary hallway. Even when the sharp air of dimensional law touched his skin, not a single strand of his hair moved. He was the unmoving center in a turbulent corridor. In this strange new place, his eyes immediately swept over the nine other figures standing with him. Aged bodies with deep, hidden auras. They were ancient monsters—old men whose eyes held the history of thousands of years. Every gaze seemed to pierce through the fog of time, carrying traces from battlefields long erased from written history. Yet among them, only one figure was different. The only one from the younger generation. Xiao Tian. Nine pairs o
