Chapter 826: The Last Fragment of the Map!

The top-tier box began to emit overwhelming fluctuations, causing the crowd below to tremble, feeling as if a great calamity was upon them.

A fragment of the map to the Lost Divine Realm, and the core area at that—how could such a treasure not make their hearts tremble? If they obtained this fragment, it would play a monumental role in opening the path to the core area in the future.

A cold snort suddenly swept through the entire venue. The mysterious expert who had acted earlier appeared in the air, his entire body radiating terrifying fluctuations. At the same time, the great formations around instantly awakened, turning the entire mustard-seed void into a weapon of war.

As this wave of fluctuations erupted, the people in the top-tier boxes all withdrew their auras. This was, after all, the territory of the Xuanmo Pavilion. If they pushed too hard, none of the participants in the assembly might be able to leave.

The various great sects were deeply alarmed. Back when the Xuanmo Pavilion held the auction, they had demanded that the holy sons of each clan be present—a blatant threat. With the holy sons in their lair, the great sects naturally dared not act rashly.

If the Xuanmo Pavilion leaked this matter, all the old monsters in the Great Wasteland would come flocking, and that would be an extremely terrifying situation. After all, everyone coveted this item.

“I won’t introduce the origin of this item. Let’s begin the auction,” the old man said reluctantly, but there was nothing he could do—this thing was too hot to handle.

“What? No introduction? What’s going on?” Some people immediately voiced their dissatisfaction, clamoring loudly.

“Exactly! Isn’t this the final treasure? Why no introduction?” Many were puzzled, but then they fell utterly silent, speechless.

“One Heavenly Demon Divine Fruit!” Yao Xuan directly opened his mouth, calling out a terrifyingly high price.

“Hiss…” After a moment of silence, the scene began to stir. The Heavenly Demon Divine Fruit was a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion, a divine fruit coveted by demon cultivators. It contained supreme demonic power and was extremely rare.

“What exactly is this item, that the Heavenly Demon Pavilion would offer a Heavenly Demon Divine Fruit for it?” They were all deeply puzzled, clicking their tongues in amazement.

“Could this fragment of the map be related to some secret realm or supreme treasure?”

“Even if it is, it’s incomplete, not whole. What kind of region could make the Heavenly Demon Pavilion pay such a heavy price?”

Hearing the comments below, the old man smiled bitterly. This thing couldn’t see the light of day. When he had agreed with the major powers to auction it, he had promised not to reveal any more information.

“My Ancient Sword Pavilion offers a Sword Heart in exchange, plus one hundred thousand high-grade blood stones!” A clanging voice exploded like a bronze bell, shaking the entire venue.

“What? The Ancient Sword Pavilion is offering a Sword Heart and one hundred thousand blood stones for this map fragment!”

The whole scene instantly boiled over. A Sword Heart—this was the most sacred thing of the Ancient Sword Pavilion, formed only when one’s comprehension of sword intent reached an extremely terrifying level.

And this Sword Heart was naturally a legacy. The Ancient Sword Pavilion didn’t have many; they were left behind only when a peerless figure of their clan passed away.

Once a Sword Heart was consumed, even a person completely ignorant of swordsmanship would instantly become a genius with an extremely profound understanding of the sword.

The Sword Heart contained many mysteries, allowing one to comprehend supreme sword intent. It was a treasure dreamed of by many sword cultivators.

“What exactly is this?” The people below were so shocked their jaws nearly dropped. The price was astonishing; this was no ordinary map fragment. Could it be the remnant map of a fallen great cultivator?

“Hmph, my Yin-Yang Divine Sect can offer two essences of Yin and Yang Qi. Once consumed, one can comprehend two types of rule power!”

“My Profound Yin Holy Land can exchange a Profound Yin Holy Fruit. This fruit has always been a sacred fruit not passed down outside our holy land. Once consumed, it can forge a supreme body, and our holy land will also accept the consumer as a legacy disciple!”

Boom! The whole scene instantly erupted. Many cultivators stared wide-eyed. The Profound Yin Holy Land was a very mysterious place, rumored to be inhabited solely by extraordinary women, each like a celestial being descended from heaven.

This holy land had never accepted disciples, and it was said that its cultivators were extremely few, all rare peerless women. Now they were not only offering the Profound Yin Holy Fruit but also accepting disciples—this drove countless people wild.

“Profound Yin Holy Fruit?” Yang Tian’s pupils suddenly contracted upon hearing this. He couldn’t help but clench his fist and murmured, “Would this be helpful to Yun’er?”

Yang Tian had yet to hear news of the Ultimate Yin Divine Fruit. Now that such a holy fruit appeared, his heart stirred.

“Brother Lan, why haven’t I heard of this item?” Yang Tian asked Lan Chen.

“Uh… This is the first time I’ve heard of it, and I’m not clear on its effects. But the Profound Yin Holy Land probably wouldn’t lie; this fruit should have extraordinary uses.” Lan Chen smiled.

“Hehe, I wonder how it compares to the Ultimate Yin Divine Fruit.” Yang Tian pretended to be indifferent.

“They probably can’t be compared. The Ultimate Yin Divine Fruit is a divine medicine, a treasure born from a heavenly spiritual root. If the Profound Yin Holy Fruit could rival it even a little, they wouldn’t have brought it out.” Lan Chen shook his head.

“Hmm, Brother Lan is right.” Yang Tian nodded, then said casually, “I heard that a certain holy land possesses this Ultimate Yin Divine Fruit. I wonder if it’s true?”

Hearing this, Lan Chen’s eyelids twitched. He said with some surprise, “Who did Brother Yang hear that from? I’ve heard of it too, but I don’t know if it’s true, since there’s no evidence.”

“Since both you and I know of it, it’s probably not groundless. Brother Lan, do you know which holy land’s treasure it is?” A glint of interest flashed in Yang Tian’s eyes as he inquired.

The big black bear pricked up its ears, drool nearly dripping. A divine medicine—he had only heard of it, never even seen a hair of it.

Hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared in Lan Chen’s eyes. After a moment, he said uncertainly, “It seems to be the Yin-Yang Divine Sect, but I’m not sure.”

Yin-Yang Divine Sect! Yang Tian’s hand clenched. If the Yin-Yang Divine Sect really had the Ultimate Yin Divine Fruit, he would have to make a trip there.

The entire auction atmosphere was ignited. Many Emperor realm experts fell into a frenzy. The great sects had gone mad, calling out sky-high prices that made their hearts pound.

The prices were terrifying. Even eighth-rank mid-grade pills had appeared—rare goods. Every grade of eighth-rank pill had a huge difference.

And some eighth-rank high-grade pills were divine pills that had not appeared for a long time; even the great sects might not possess them.

The reason was that the precious herbs needed to refine such pills were too rare. Even the accumulated wealth of a major clan might not be enough to produce one.

“My Heavenly Demon Pavilion offers the Heavenly Demon Divine Fruit, plus one grain of Li Fire Divine Sand and fifty thousand high-grade blood stones!” Yao Xian had gone mad. He had to secure this item, or he would surely be punished upon return, especially since he had already spent too many treasures.

“Li Fire Divine Sand—this is a divine material said to be able to revive divine flames!” Hearing the string of treasures, the people below had bloodshot eyes, nearly losing their composure.

Yang Tian was also witnessing such a high-level auction for the first time, and he was amazed at the depth of the various clans in the Great Wasteland. They could even bring out divine materials—too terrifying.

“It seems the Lost Divine Realm is truly a place that can drive people mad,” Yang Tian thought to himself. All the clans were willing to pay such a huge price, showing the divine treasures buried within.

“After all, it’s the burial ground of many great cultivators. If one gets the map, tsk tsk…” Yang Xiao chuckled.

Now Yang Tian had three whole fragments on him. If this got out, the entire Great Wasteland would be in turmoil, and Yang Tian would instantly become the target of every major sect’s hunt.

“I must make a trip. Maybe I can obtain an extraordinary fortune!” Yang Tian clenched his fist, his heart burning with desire. His current cultivation was too weak; he needed to find a great opportunity to advance.

“But how did this map end up in the hands of our ancestor?”

“The old patriarch was a Heavenly Sovereign. What place in this world could stop him?” Hearing this, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hehe, true.” A sense of reverence and pride welled up in Yang Tian’s heart. After all, this was his ancestor.

“My Yin-Yang Divine Sect can offer the Yin and Yang Qi, plus another item. This matter is of great importance, so I request the host of the Xuanmo Pavilion to come to our box for a discussion.”
