Chapter 743: Chaos Divine Spirit Veins
Sure enough, in just a short time, the price was refreshed.
The new price was a Thunder Origin Pearl plus a hundred top-grade Divine Spirit Veins and five billion top-grade Divine Crystals.
In fact, those able to bid and compete at this moment, even if their price isn't accepted, are definitely the ones standing at the top of the pyramid.
When it comes to top-grade Divine Spirit Veins, Ding Huan knows he has no competitive edge.
Moreover, the next bidder is very likely to offer a Chaos Divine Spirit Vein.
This place is close to chaos, and every hundred years, there's a grand release of Chaos Divine Spirit Veins, so it's not surprising that someone can offer one.
He wrote down an Innate Spirit Root Hollow Willow plus a drop of Cosmic Essence.
In fact, Ding Huan isn't sure if this price will make the list.
If it doesn't, then he'll continue to raise his bid.
If the Life Tree and Cosmic Tendon are completely intact, Ding Huan is sure that his price would be off by a hundred and eighty thousand miles.
However, if it's only the Cosmic Tendon, his price is actually quite good.
While the bids here seem fierce, most people actually just want to buy the Cosmic Tendon.
Because the Life Tree is doomed to die, and the Cosmic Tendon can not only perfect the Star Land where the Heaven and Earth Rules are broken, but also validate the Dao of the Saints.
Sure enough, once Ding Huan's price came out, it quickly rose to first place.
There was a commotion among the crowd.
To auction off a Life Tree is already a rarity.
This is also because the Life Tree is about to wither, so selling it isn't excessively strange.
Now, someone is bidding with an Innate Spirit Root Hollow Willow, which is simply insane.
If both the Cosmic Tendon and the Life Tree were intact, even a fool would choose the Life Tree.
As for the Cosmic Essence, just one drop can give a Saint another life, so who would bring this thing out?
If someone is taking out such a thing, there's only one possibility: the person must have more than one drop of Cosmic Essence on them.
Tang Yiyi never thought that she could not only auction the Life Tree but also see a bid with a Hollow Willow.
"The auctioneer accepts the bid from Section 137, Row 2176, but the auctioneer needs to inspect the goods."
Tang Yiyi quickly reacted and immediately announced the auctioneer's requirement.
"Sure." Ding Huan didn't hesitate.
Soon a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse arrived in front of Ding Huan's card seat with the Life Tree.
Ding Huan took out the Hollow Willow he had sealed.
Seeing the Hollow Willow in Ding Huan's hand, even the Quasi-Saint couldn't help but twitch his eyes.
Such a precious treasure, yet Ding Huan had it sealed like garbage in an ordinary wooden box.
This was traded today, but if it hadn't been, this Innate Spirit Root would likely dry up soon.
"There's no problem with the goods, the trade can proceed." After the inspection was completed, Tang Yiyi announced the successful trade.
The first thing Ding Huan did upon receiving the Life Tree was to place it into his Sea of Consciousness World.
Whether he could separate the Life Tree or not, he certainly wasn't going to do it right now.
Although the restriction on Ding Huan's card seat was reapplied, many Divine Wills still landed outside his card seat.
This place prohibits Divine Wills from extending beyond a zhang's (approximately 10 feet) range, so Ding Huan is sure these Divine Wills belong to the cultivators around him.
Even though Ding Huan was eager to touch the Life Tree in his world, he restrained himself.
The items that followed in the auction did not catch Ding Huan's attention.
He felt that the Life Tree was incredibly important to him.
This was why he couldn't leave the auction venue; if he could have left, he would have done so already.
After obtaining the Life Tree, his attention towards the Heaven and Earth Bow waned significantly.
Two days passed, and Ding Huan finally heard Tang Yiyi mention the Heaven and Earth Bow.
"The Heaven and Earth Bow is an Innate Treasure, equipped with the three arrows: Sunset, Falling Moon, and Falling Star. Even now, without these three arrows, the value of the Heaven and Earth Bow needs no elaboration..."
As Tang Yiyi took out the Heaven and Earth Bow, Ding Huan's gaze fell on it.
If he could use Divine Will to scan it, he would certainly know if this Heaven and Earth Bow was genuine.
But since he couldn't use Divine Will, he could only vaguely sense that the Daoist Rhythm on the Heaven and Earth Bow was identical to the one on the bow he acquired, almost as if carved from the same template.
Is it really possible that there are two Heaven and Earth Bows?
Just as Ding Huan was furrowing his brow and pondering, the Heaven and Earth Bow was purchased by Box Thirty-Seven.
Five days later, the auction ended, and as Tang Yiyi announced the end of the auction, Ding Huan used a Teleportation Talisman to leave the auction hall.
The auction rule was that once the auction ended, any method of escape was allowed.
The auction hall wouldn't arrange any no-flying restrictions.
Almost the moment Ding Huan made his escape, a multitude of Divine Wills landed on his now-empty seat.
Everyone wanted to know who the amazing person was that took out a treasure like the Hollow Willow.
After returning to his cave mansion, it was rumored everywhere outside about the Life Tree appearing at the auction and that it was exchanged for an Innate Spirit Root.
Ding Huan didn't go out; as soon as he returned to his place, he entered his Sea of Consciousness Universe.
Gazing at the Life Tree lying in his Sea of Consciousness Universe, Ding Huan felt a rush of excitement.
He wasn't after the Cosmic Tendon, though it was a good thing, too.
What he truly wanted was the Life Tree.
This Life Tree was less than a meter tall, appearing like a newly sprouted sapling.
However, Ding Huan felt something was not quite right; the Life Tree's aura carried a hint of antiquity, as if it had gone through endless years.
The reason it couldn't grow was that it was bound by the Cosmic Tendon; otherwise, this Life Tree might have long become a towering tree.
Ding Huan straightforwardly constructed a Great Universe Technique Circulation, the complex and vast Great Dao Rules made him feel somewhat dizzy.
Moreover, Ding Huan vaguely sensed there was something within this Life Tree that he couldn't yet detect.
It was like the Forgotten Dao Principle laid down in his Daoist Skill by the leather scroll.
This heightened Ding Huan's vigilance.
He planted this Life Tree and embedded a top-grade Divine Spirit Vein.
As for that top-grade Wood Attribute Divine Spirit Vein, Ding Huan did not use it.
Next, he needed to strive to reach the God Unification Realm, as only upon reaching the God Unification Realm would he have a chance to separate the Life Tree and the Cosmic Tendon.
Ding Huan went out to cultivate again, with no one disturbing him.
Although many people discussed the matter of the Life Tree, none knew who had bought it.
A month passed swiftly, and when Ding Huan was called out again, the Divine Vein contest had already begun.
On the edge of the Great Dao Divine Vein Plaza appeared a massive Forbidden Array.
Everyone preparing to enter the Chaos Zone would do so in groups by sect or a particular force.
Ding Huan did not use Divine Will to scan, he glanced over briefly.
Standing before this giant Forbidden Array were at least hundreds of thousands of people.
With so many going in, even if there were Divine Veins, only a very few would end up getting them.
This part of Chaos where the Divine Vein contest took place had already been searched thoroughly for billions of miles.
The true treasures would most likely appear in locations newly revealed from the chaos.
This area ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions of miles.
Thus, the first step in the Divine Vein battle is a race against time.
Whoever gets there first collects the most treasures.
If you fall behind, you truly face a fierce competition.
Ding Huan estimated that with his current strength, he would just be delivering resources if he really had to fight for it.
Ding Huan held a Jutsu Talisman in his hand, waiting for this Forbidden Array to open.
Many people like Ding Huan held a Jutsu Talisman in their hands.
When the time came for the Forbidden Array to open, it automatically parted.
The dense Chaotic Aura washed over him, and Ding Huan's first instinct was that this was definitely the best Cultivation Place.
But that was just a fleeting thought, and he plunged into the depths of the Chaos Land using Heart Escape.
The Jutsu Talisman in his hand was for show; he couldn't possibly use it for tunneling.
After breaking through the crowd, Ding Huan immediately summoned the Cosmic Pot.
The Cosmic Pot emitted waves of spatial vibrations and then quickly disappeared.
Ding Huan was unsure if anyone could be faster than him.
He reckoned, even if someone was faster, he would still rank among the first few.
Sitting on the Cosmic Pot, Ding Huan could sense that while the outer areas of this Chaos Land had the Chaotic Aura, it was severely fragmented.
This place suited his cultivation, not others.
Where Divine Will contacted, there were indeed some treasures, but none could tempt Ding Huan.
In less than an hour, Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot burst into a completely new area.
He identified it as a new area because he could still sense a hint of Chaotic Qi that hadn't dissipated.
Several Divine Spirit Veins jutted into the ground like toppled mountains.
The rich Chaotic Aura made Ding Huan realize these were Chaos Divine Spirit Veins.
However, even Chaos Divine Spirit Veins had levels, and these were not of high grade.
Ding Huan didn't touch these Chaos Divine Spirit Veins, as his Cosmic Pot continued toward the interior.
There were many powerful beings here, and although he arrived first, he didn't have much of an advantage.
So he wouldn't waste the best time on these outermost Chaos Divine Spirit Veins.
In just a few breaths of time, Ding Huan stopped.
Here, he sensed the terrifying Chaotic Aura.
Even while standing on the very periphery of this Chaos Land, Ding Huan felt an illusion as if his body would vanish.
But that's not what Ding Huan needed to worry about now; he saw four Chaos Divine Spirit Veins.
These Chaos Divine Spirit Veins, in terms of size or Chaotic Aura, were better than the few he had seen on the outskirts.
Array Flags continually fell from Ding Huan's hands, and one by one, the Chaos Divine Spirit Veins were drawn away by him.
When extracting the seventeenth Chaos Divine Spirit Vein, he sensed several figures on the edge of his Divine Will.
These figures were also frantically extracting Chaos Divine Spirit Veins; realizing there were no good Divine Spirit Veins near Ding Huan, they headed in another direction.
These were undoubtedly the presence of Saints.
Ding Huan was secretly alert, and his hands moved even faster.
After an incense stick's time, Ding Huan had accumulated over a hundred Chaos Divine Spirit Veins in his world, while more and more people arrived here.
Ding Huan began to search for other treasures.
After the Chaos receded, the Chaos Land had more than just Chaos Divine Spirit Veins.
