Chapter 1661 - 1662: Wordless Heavenly Scripture, Middle Volume
Li Ling'er's beautiful eyes glanced at the crowd and said with a faint smile, "The next auction item is the crowning treasure of this auction."
As soon as she finished speaking, the martial artists from all the major factions had eyes filled with fervor.
Evidently, many had been waiting this long just to see the crowning item of the auction.
Judging by their reactions, it was clear they all knew what this item was, otherwise they wouldn't be so excited.
Lin Chen was also very curious about what it was that could attract so much attention.
"This auction item has no simple origin: it comes from the ancient tomb of an Immortal Emperor at the peak." Li Ling'er said with a subtle smile.
"Boom!" With Li Ling'er's words, the crowd burst into an uproar.
An Immortal Emperor at the peak is a being just a step away from the God Realm; such a treasure must be extraordinary.
In the audience, everyone was intently staring at the center of the auction hall.
In Li Ling'er's hand appeared a golden ancient scroll.
As the scroll emerged, a wave of astonishment swept through the whole venue.
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed sharply at the sight of the scroll.
"The scroll in Li Ling'er's hand is exactly the same as the one Lin Chen obtained. Could this be the other two parts of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture!"
Lin Chen's Wordless Heavenly Scripture was the upper part; according to Xiaoshuai, there should be a middle and a lower part.
Only by gathering all three parts can the full power of the heavenly scripture be unleashed.
Lin Chen hadn't expected his luck to be so good that, having just obtained the first part, he would encounter another part so soon.
At that moment, the previously noisy auction hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared eagerly at the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.
After all, hidden within the Wordless Heavenly Scripture are the secrets to advancing to the Saint Realm. Who wouldn't want such a treasure?
"Xiaoshuai, confirm if that heavenly scripture is indeed the Wordless Heavenly Scripture." Lin Chen said in a serious tone.
Very soon, Xiaoshuai gave Lin Chen a positive answer: that scripture was indeed the middle part of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.
"Gulp!"
Lin Chen swallowed hard.
He originally thought it would be difficult to gather the heavenly scripture, but he hadn't expected to find the middle part so quickly.
"Master, you must acquire this heavenly scripture."
Lin Chen nodded, "Since I've come across it, I won't let it slip away."
However, it's clear that the major factions' target this time is the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, making it extremely difficult to obtain.
Lin Chen knew that the Saint Realm held an irresistible allure for every martial artist, and these factions would undoubtedly spare no effort to get the scripture.
Now, he had no funds left, making it impossible for him to compete with the major factions for the scripture.
Even so, Lin Chen's eyes showed a fierce determination. Since he already had the first part, he wouldn't miss out on the middle part, even if he had to use some less conventional methods.
Beside him, Long Qianqian also had her beautiful eyes fixed on the scripture and said seriously, "It seems our dragon clan also possesses such a book."
Hearing what Long Qianqian said, Lin Chen was momentarily speechless.
His luck seemed unbelievably good, that he learned the whereabouts of all three parts so quickly.
According to Long Qianqian, their dragon clan's scripture should be the lower part.
Now that he had clues for both the upper and lower parts, naturally, he wouldn't let go of the middle part.
On the auction stage, seeing the fiery gazes from the audience, Li Ling'er nodded with satisfaction.
Clearly, she was very pleased with this effect.
With a faint smile, Li Ling'er announced that the middle part of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture would start with a bidding price of fifty million spirit stones.
"Fifty million!"
The initially heated atmosphere instantly cooled as the price was beyond the reach of an ordinary martial artist.
Although most people backed down, the eyes of those top factions remained fervent.
"What's wrong, no one dares to bid? In that case, we'll make the first move. Fifty-two million."
"Haha, such a treasure isn't something only you from Ghost Domain can afford. I bid fifty-five million."
The one speaking was Zhou Yu from the Immortal Mansion.
"Tsk tsk, we at Fairy Sword Mountain are also interested in such a treasure. Fifty-eight million." The young man carrying a sword said seriously.
...
With the appearance of the three giants, everyone knew the battle for the Wordless Heavenly Scripture would ultimately fall among these three.
But who would eventually acquire it remained uncertain.
Lin Chen helplessly watched the three houses bid, clearly realizing that with his financial resources, he had no chance to even speak up.
"Lin Chen, do you want this scripture? I'll help you bid for it." Long Qianqian, who had been silent, suddenly said.
"You?" Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.
"Where would you get that kind of money?" Lin Chen asked helplessly.
Long Qianqian smiled faintly, "I don't have the money, but I can have my uncle pay for it."
With that, Long Qianqian seemed eager to join the auction.
But Lin Chen stopped her.
"Silly girl, let's forget it. These three factions are hell-bent on getting this scripture. Do you think they'd let us leave easily even if we won it?" Lin Chen said calmly.
Long Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly said, "But I saw Brother Lin liked it and wanted to win it as a gift for you."
Lin Chen felt warm inside and smiled, "Alright, I appreciate your thought. Let's watch and see; maybe we still have a chance."
As expected, while many lacked the qualification to bid, they hadn't given up.
Since they couldn't obtain it through normal means, many harbored another plan: to steal it.
Lin Chen took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.
No matter what, he was determined to get that Wordless Heavenly Scripture!
At this moment, the Wordless Heavenly Scripture had already been bid up to seventy million, with the competition reaching a fever pitch.
Ultimately, the competition came down to only three entities: Ghost Domain, Immortal Mansion, and Fairy Sword Mountain.
The bidding from the three houses was tight, with none showing signs of giving up.
In the end, the Wordless Heavenly Scripture was won by Ghost Domain with an astonishing bid of eighty-eight million.
"So it was Ghost Domain, that makes things easier."
Seeing Ghost Domain win the bid, Lin Chen was delighted.
After all, he was already mortal enemies with Ghost Domain, so there was no guilt in robbing them of their treasures.
"Brother Guishou, it seems Ghost Domain is truly wealthy. It's said that only by gathering all three parts can one obtain the complete scripture. Aren't you afraid that you'll end up with just a fragment and waste your money?" Zhou Yu said with a not-so-genuine smile.
Guishou snorted coldly, "Rest assured, since we dared to buy it, we'll find the other two parts as well."
Hearing the confident words from Guishou, Lin Chen's heart suddenly grew tense: "No wonder they attempted to move against Long Qianqian. Could it be they also know the dragon clan holds a part of the scripture?"
