Chapter 690: The Heaven-Mending Divine Cauldron!

Gazing at the five-colored stone beneath the ground, a trace of envy appeared in the demon dragon's eyes. He said, "This is the Heaven-Mending Divine Stone!"

Scratching his head, Yang Tian thought carefully but had never heard of this refining material. However, daring to name it "Heaven-Mending" was no small boast.

"The Heaven-Mending Divine Stone is a supreme treasure born at the dawn of heaven and earth. It cannot be produced in the cultivation world and is difficult to trace," the demon dragon murmured.

"Senior, what was that giant cauldron just now?" Recalling the giant cauldron, Yang Tian still felt a pang of fear. If its true form had come, he probably wouldn't have lasted a few glances before his body exploded.

"That was the Heaven-Mending Divine Cauldron!" At this, a divine light flashed in the demon dragon's eyes. He said, "I have only heard of such a divine cauldron, dating back to a very distant era."

Through the void, the aura of the Heaven-Mending Divine Cauldron permeated, clearly extraordinary.

His gaze fixed on the Heaven-Mending Stone in his hand. Even the demon dragon was shaken by this divine material, so it must be an extraordinary divine substance.

"Senior, between the Heaven-Mending Divine Cauldron and the Mountain River Cauldron, which is more powerful?" At this moment, Yang Tian chuckled.

"How can they be compared? The Heaven-Mending Divine Cauldron is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, forged from the Heaven-Mending Divine Stone. Not only does it possess overwhelming divine might, but it can also complete all divine techniques under heaven!"

"What?" Yang Tian's voice instantly rose an octave. It could complete divine techniques? This was an utterly heaven-defying treasure. He had spent immeasurable effort perfecting his own techniques, and had only completed a small part.

"The scriptures recorded on it are imprinted from the Heaven-Mending Divine Cauldron. According to ancient legends, this cauldron bears countless divine techniques, though no one knows if it's true."

Frowning, Yang Tian couldn't help asking, "Such a powerful divine cauldron—why did it shatter?"

"I don't know either. Few know of that era. Though it shattered, it is your opportunity!" At this, the demon dragon smiled.

"My opportunity." Clenching his fist, Yang Tian said, "Should I use the Heaven-Mending Divine Stone to recast the Heaven-Mending Divine Cauldron?"

"Exactly. The two vessels you forged yourself, though made of fine materials, would take countless millennia to nurture. The Heaven-Mending Divine Stone is a shortcut."

"It can mend heaven, and also destroy heaven. It can devour all divine materials under heaven to enhance its own power!" said the demon dragon.

Yang Tian couldn't help wiping cold sweat. This Heaven-Mending Stone was even more formidable than the Bloodthirsty Demon Crystal, capable of devouring divine materials!

"Senior, do you mean I should fuse the Starry Tower and the Celestial Pivot with the Heaven-Mending Stone?" Yang Tian couldn't help asking.

"Yes, once you forge it, you will witness the terror of the Heaven-Mending Divine Cauldron," the demon dragon said slowly.

Yang Tian felt reluctant. These two vessels were forged by his own hands. Destroying them now pained him greatly.

"You must give up something to gain something. Decide for yourself. The Heaven-Mending Stone fused with divine materials is the most terrifying." The demon dragon said no more and dissipated.

After thinking for a while, sensing the changes outside, his mind returned to his body.

Dan Xueyi returned with the silver paper, delighting Yang Tian. He toyed with the paper in his hand and probed it with his mind.

"Hmph, you only know how to stare!" Shaking her fist at Yang Tian's forehead, Dan Xueyi grumbled and turned away, full of resentment.

This auction lasted an extremely long time. Yang Tian exchanged his Dragon Transformation Pill for a ten-thousand-year Soul Fusion Flower. He now had three, giving him some confidence for the alchemy competition.

Next, he made several bids, purchasing many soul-nourishing spiritual herbs, nearly exhausting his supply of high-grade blood stones.

The subsequent auction items made Yang Tian's eyes burn with desire. The items brought out were too rare: a dozen seventh-grade pills were auctioned off, along with the essence of a medicinal king.

Just as Yang Tian was eagerly observing, his pupils suddenly contracted. The jade pendant in his soul space vibrated.

"Someone!" A murderous light shot from his eyes. In an instant, his soul power sealed the entire void. A jade pendant suddenly fell, pressing toward a corner of the void.

With a bang, the void twisted there. The soul jade pendant drilled directly in, yanking out the soul within.

"Hmph, it really is you!" Sensing that trace of fluctuation, a森冷 murderous intent appeared on Yang Tian's face. A small blood-colored dragon instantly annihilated that wisp of soul!

"It seems she knows the origin of this scripture, perhaps even the origin of the mending-heaven divine stone." Clenching his fist, Yang Tian's eyes fixed on the fourth-floor box, where he could sense overwhelming fury spreading within.

"Damned bastard, don't let me catch you!" Inside that box, the heat was terrifying, with only blazing divine light visible.

She hadn't expected that the sliver of divine soul power she had just sent in would be instantly annihilated, without any feedback.

There were a few old monsters inside; if not for her wariness of them, this woman's true body would have charged in and leveled the place to calm the raging fire in her heart.

In the box, Yang Tian stroked his chin and muttered, "This demon woman's divine ability is indeed strange, able to evade even the eyes of an Immortal."

"These are five ten-thousand-year precious herbs, exchanged for soul-nourishing precious herbs, with the medicinal age no less than ten thousand years. The auction begins now!" Dan Li smiled as he looked down.

"What a bold move. Each herb is of the finest essence, a top-grade precious herb."

"I bid two ten-thousand-year precious herbs." An old man's voice called out from a box on the fifth floor.

Yang Tian shot up, exclaiming in surprise, "I bid three ten-thousand-year precious herbs!"

When this voice sounded, Dan Zhu nearly fell over—this was his own item, and this guy was bidding on it!

The reason Yang Tian dared to bid was that these five herbs could not be sold for the price of three; their medicinal ages all exceeded ten thousand years, and they were perfectly preserved.

"Four!" Just as Yang Tian's delighted words fell, the demon woman immediately spoke.

The price climbed very fast; many couldn't react before it had already reached the peak.

"I bid five." Yang Tian hesitated for a moment, then spoke, his tone carrying a determined will.

"Is this man crazy? Exchanging five soul-nourishing herbs for these five is clearly a loss," an old man clicked his tongue.

"Hmm, I reckon there's a herb he needs among them, so he's bidding," another old man said with an air of knowing.

Yang Tian's heart skipped a beat. Given that demon woman's temper, she should have followed by now, but there was no movement from her.

He scratched his head, full of helplessness: "I probably won't get the precious herbs. Am I not shooting myself in the foot?"

Danzhu wanted to laugh but couldn't, so she just rolled her eyes. However, given Yang Tian's contributions, it wouldn't be right to make him pay for these five precious herbs; they would be returned to him as if they had never been auctioned.

"I wonder if other precious herbs can be used instead." Just then, the demon woman spoke again.

"That depends on the seller's wishes." Danli frowned, sensing that the two seemed to have a grudge, and said.

"This old man is so foolish, clearly making a profit yet still asking me." Clenching his fist, Yang Tian said with delight: "Yes, start the auction."

"Very well, I'll add two more ten-thousand-year precious herbs." The demon woman was pleased and smiled.

She waited for Yang Tian's voice. After a moment of silence, her expression suddenly turned grim!

"That's not right. The one who spoke just now was clearly the bidder. Could this item be his?"

"Haha, isn't this guy setting a trap? But how did he know that strong one would speak up?"

"I suspect they have a deep grudge, and this woman is young, with a very unstable mindset..." An old man spoke with authority.

A wave of noise swept over. The demon woman's face instantly darkened, and the entire private room shook as if about to collapse.

Danli was speechless and couldn't help rolling his eyes, but he couldn't figure out why the woman had spoken up to bid; she was too impatient.

"Probably just a young girl. Her cultivation is quite high, but her mindset is lacking." Danli curled his lip. If he knew this was only her avatar, what would he think?

"How dare you!" She spoke, and a terrifying aura spread, oppressing everyone with fear.

"Why is your mouth so foul..." A helpless voice slowly emerged.

With a bang, a giant hand materialized and shot toward Yang Tian's private room at terrifying speed, intending to kill him.
