One of the peak races among energy-based lifeforms, the Mosha Clan, holds the title of ‘the strongest clan of assassins’. In terms of numbers, the Mosha Clan members aren’t as rare as the Golden-Horned Giant Beasts. However, regarding their skin alone, its rarity is in no way inferior to the corpse of a Golden-Horned Giant Beast.
Unfortunately…
The incomplete skin of a Mosha Clan member already has very low ‘cultivation value’—mainly only value for collection. Still, Luo Feng was quite happy about it.
“I hope the immortals don’t get carried away,” Luo Feng silently prayed. One huan yuan unit is a huge sum for a Monarch; under normal circumstances, a Monarch wouldn’t waste money. The only concern was that some immortals might recklessly outbid.
11,000 billion cosmic coins… 11,500 billion cosmic coins…
On the screen of the auction token, the numbers kept rising.
15,000 billion cosmic coins… 15,100 billion cosmic coins… 15,600 billion… 15,900 billion…
The numbers kept leaping, and within moments, surpassed two trillion (two huan yuan units).
“Is it really worth it for a piece of incomplete skin?” Luo Feng gritted his teeth.
“It’s skin with the secret patterns of spatial origin,” Babata replied.
“But it’s incomplete!” Luo Feng clenched his jaw and entered a new high bid.
The price soared at a dizzying speed, especially with a few occasional large jumps, causing the price to quickly exceed three trillion. After that, the rate of increase began to slow significantly, after all, it was still just a piece of incomplete skin from a Mosha Clan member.
“Three huan yuan units; any higher is meaningless,” said a guest seated on one of the hundreds of thousands of thrones. He wore strange silver armor, had white eyebrows and pupils, and was bald. His entire demeanor exuded a warm smile, making him seem like a warm sun.
Though warm, he was someone to be looked up to.
“3.6 huan yuan units. If I win it, I’ll just place this Mosha Clan member’s skin in my cultivation chamber,” said a silver-haired old man in black robes, shaking his head as the price soared past 36,000 billion.
…
“Enough, enough, stop rising,” Luo Feng stared at the screen of the auction token, his fingers gripping it so tightly it creaked.
“39,000 billion,” Luo Feng gritted his teeth and entered the price again.
Others might not buy it, but he had to seize the opportunity.
After entering the price, he kept staring at the screen. The number displayed remained ‘39,000 billion cosmic coins’ for several seconds without changing, which made Luo Feng increasingly excited.
“39,000 billion. Is there any higher bid? Counting down three seconds, 3… 2… 1! Congratulations to guest KND99286, you have obtained the incomplete skin of a Mosha Clan member.” The old man with a turtle-shell-like pattern’s voice echoed through the vast, seemingly endless auction hall.
“Huff!” Luo Feng exhaled deeply, watching the message displayed on the auction token.
“Haha, Luo Feng, you did it!” Babata was delighted.
“Lucky, I was really afraid it would exceed my budget,” Luo Feng smiled widely.
It was enough. Luo Feng had joined this Qianwu Auction, seen thousands upon thousands of precious items, and purchased many important ones. The Lancuo fruit was for the ‘Moyun Vine’ to consume. The ‘Yanshen Weapon’ would be his close-range weapon for a long time to come. The ‘Mosha Clan member’s skin’ was especially for cultivating his second clone.
The second clone—the Mosha Clan member!
“There’s just one thing I’m worried about now…” Luo Feng thought to himself.
“What?” Babata asked.
“I’m worried about the original owner of this Mosha Clan skin’s power level,” Luo Feng replied. “When the Golden-Horned Giant Beast cultivates a clone, it cannot produce a clone stronger than itself. Now the Golden-Horned Giant Beast is at the sixth Cosmic Stage, so the highest it can cultivate is a sixth Cosmic Stage clone. I just hope the original owner of this skin doesn’t exceed the sixth Cosmic Stage.”
“It’s all down to luck. But don’t worry, Luo Feng,” Babata said. “The Mosha Clan, as the strongest assassin clan, the stronger they are, the harder they are to kill, let alone kill and preserve their skin. So… the chance of it being a Sovereign is almost zero, the chance of it being a Domain Lord is higher, and the chance of it being a Cosmic Stage being even higher. Of course… it still depends on your luck.”
…
This Qianwu Auction drew in over half of the mightiest experts from the Ganwu Universe Kingdom. Even some immortals from other cosmic nations came to join the event!
An emperor of an empire, the leader of an organization, or even the immortal god-king of a divine kingdom were just attendees at the auction, and Luo Feng was one of them… Many people with extremely high status attended this auction mainly for the most important final item.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this auction has now auctioned off 99 consecutive final items,” the old man with a turtle-shell pattern on his face smiled broadly, his voice echoing throughout the entire auction hall. “There is only one final item left! Once this item is auctioned, this Qianwu Auction will officially end.”
“Everyone must be impatient, and I, Old Bartuo, am also impatient,” the old man with the turtle-shell pattern suddenly raised his voice. “Now!!!”
“I solemnly announce that the final item of this auction is—One Slot for Cultivation in the Primordial Universe!” The old man’s eyes shone brightly, his voice loud. “A Sovereign-level slot! This is the slot for entering the Primordial Universe for cultivation. I believe all the Sovereigns and Immortals here know how precious such a slot is!”
Huaaa—
The entire auction hall erupted completely. Although the news had long been circulating, hearing that the final auction item was indeed this slot still caused the venue to erupt!
“The Primordial Universe.”
“The legendary Primordial Universe. Just seeing it once would be worth it, even if one reaches the end of their life.”
“I heard the Primordial Universe is different from our Original Universe.”
“The slots for the Primordial Universe have long been monopolized by the five major giants. Even various cosmic nations find it hard to obtain one slot. Let alone a Sovereign-level slot… This will be crazy. The auction price will surely be absolutely crazy.”
…
The murmurs continued. Luo Feng could feel the intense, envious, expectant, and excited emotions within the discussions around him.
“Barbara, what does ‘a slot for cultivation in the Primordial Universe’ mean?” Luo Feng asked. “What is the Primordial Universe?”
“Luo Feng, you should know that the universe we live in now is vast and boundless, filled with countless races. This universe is called the ‘Original Universe.’ The Original Universe is a highly developed universe, and it’s very difficult to comprehend the fundamental laws here,” Babata explained. “However, the Primordial Universe is different.”
“Primordial… as the name suggests, it means the ‘Primordial Universe’ is in the early stages of cosmic evolution.”
“It’s said that no life has yet emerged in the Primordial Universe.”
“It’s said that because it’s not yet mature, disasters frequently occur in the Primordial Universe.”
“It’s said that because it’s not yet mature, it’s easier to grasp its fundamental essence!”
“In the universe, some super organizations, such as the Virtual Universe Company, the Cosmic Milky Way Bank, the Axe Fighting Arena, and the other four major giants, occasionally send some key elites to the Primordial Universe for cultivation.” Babata sighed. “Cultivation in the Primordial Universe leads to faster progress.”
Luo Feng listened, puzzled: “Where did this Primordial Universe come from? How do you get there?”
“No one knows,” Babata replied.
…
Meanwhile, in the auction hall, the old man with the turtle-shell pattern shouted, “A Sovereign Peak entering the Primordial Universe has more than a 50% chance of becoming an Immortal! This slot is extremely precious. Now, the auction begins! The starting price is still zero!”
“1,000 huan yuan units!”
The number appeared on the auction tokens of hundreds of thousands of guests, causing many Sovereigns to sigh in admiration at the vast wealth.
Suddenly, the number jumped—”10,000 huan yuan units!”
Silence!
The entire auction hall fell into complete silence. All the Sovereigns were somewhat stunned. This was the first time in the entire auction that the price had reached 10,000 huan yuan units! This was the threshold for a four-star account. Among the immortals, having 10,000 huan yuan units already meant being quite wealthy.
Spending ten thousand huan yuan units just for a Sovereign-level cultivation slot was indeed extravagant.
“Heaven! This is just a Sovereign-level slot. If it were an Immortal-level slot… how expensive would it be?” Luo Feng’s eyes widened.
“An Immortal-level slot would never appear at a ‘low-level auction.’ It would usually be a rare highlight at a ‘mid-level auction,’ or appear at a ‘high-level auction.’ Even your teacher might not be able to afford it, even if he sold everything he had,” Babata sighed.
“Huh?” Luo Feng was taken aback.
“Your teacher once participated in an auction, but in the end, he couldn’t afford it even after spending all his wealth,” Babata shook his head. “So, your teacher never got to go to the Primordial Universe.”
“Even my teacher never went?”
“Although he never went, well… it’s just a special place. The Primordial Universe is in the ‘initial state’ of cosmic evolution. In terms of size, it’s much smaller than the Original Universe!” Babata said. “The Original Universe is the true core.”
“All other secret realms, divine kingdoms, worlds, the Primordial Universe, and some other special places are often dependent on the ‘Original Universe’!” Babata continued. “Or you could say, many of them are just parts of the Original Universe!”
“A part?” Luo Feng was puzzled.
“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you now. Hmm… actually, I don’t know much about it either!”
“Although your teacher is considered a strong immortal, in the vast universe, there are countless stronger beings. Even stronger than your teacher, there are many,” Babata explained. “Moreover, the universe is too vast. Even immortals would take billions of years to explore the entire universe, so your teacher only knows a little about the universe. Naturally, I know even less.”
Luo Feng smiled.
At present, he was merely active within the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, having not even set foot in the Qianwu Cosmic Nation, let alone explored the entirety of the universe. After all, amidst the boundless cosmos, humanity is but one among countless forms of life.
“36,530 huan yuan units! Is there a higher bid?”
“36,550 huan yuan units, uh, 37,000 huan yuan units, now it’s 37,000 huan yuan units!” The old man with the turtle-shell pattern’s voice echoed through the massive auction hall. “Is there a higher bid? Now it’s countdown… 10, 9, ah, 37,500 huan yuan units! A new high bid, a new high bid! This is the final moment; if you miss it, it will be hard to encounter again! 10… 9… 8…”
“3… 2… 1! Congratulations to guest TUF49903, you have obtained one Sovereign-level slot for cultivation in the Primordial Universe! We wish you success in nurturing a new Immortal!” The old man’s voice was high-pitched. “This auction has now concluded all its items. Thank you all for your support. I, Old Bartuo, solemnly announce, this auction… is officially over!!!”
