Chapter 1501 - Auction
Everyone froze in shock the moment they stepped into Vermilion City, because the entire place felt like a gigantic dome suspended in mid-air.
"An immortal artifact!" Liu Wuxie concluded at once. He could tell that the dome was an immortal artifact and that all the cultivators of Vermilion City lived inside it.
Then again, cultivators could enter and leave freely, which made perfect sense for a city that could accommodate one million people. The space inside an immortal artifact could expand without limit, and it could house ten million people with ease, let alone one million.
"Wuxie, this is the item list for the auction. It might not be one hundred percent accurate, but you can use it as a reference," Hua Feiyu said as he took out a list and handed it to Liu Wuxie.
Liu Wuxie opened the list and skimmed through the items. Under normal circumstances, auction goods would remain confidential until the auction began, but the Heavenly Dragon Sect evidently had its own channels. Even then, Hua Feiyu could not vouch for the list’s authenticity.
"Dao Comprehension Stone, Primordial Indigo Aura, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth's fragment, an incomplete immortal art..." Liu Wuxie's eyes gleamed as he read, and a fierce urge surged within him to snatch every treasure for himself.
The true value of the Dao Comprehension Stone was its ability to boost cultivation efficiency twofold, which would make it a prime target for cultivators at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm. With its aid, breaking into the Heaven Gaze Realm would become far more achievable.
As for the Primordial Indigo Aura, it needed no explanation, because it was a heaven-defying treasure that even experts at the Heaven Gaze Realm would covet. The fragment of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth also held immense value for Liu Wuxie, because if he could find fragments of earth, metal, and fire, he would be able to perfect the Great Five Elemental Mythical Art.
By contrast, the incomplete immortal art was what he needed the least, yet it carried a fatal temptation for cultivators at the Quasi-Immortal Realm.
Liu Wuxie knew countless immortal arts, and only his cultivation limited him, so why would he compete for something that was essentially useless to him?
He handed the list back to his master. Aside from those treasures, the list also included strange items he had never heard of, and he would have to wait for the auction to begin before he could determine their use.
The instant they stepped deeper into Vermilion City, immense pressure crushed down from the surroundings, suppressing everyone's cultivation, including powerhouses at the Quasi-Immortal Realm. Those were the laws of an immortal artifact at work.
