One of the peak races among energy lifeforms, the ‘Mosha Clan’, possessed the title of the ‘strongest assassin race’. In terms of numbers, the Mosha Clan was not as rare as the Golden-Horned Beast. However, when it came to their skin alone, the rarity of Mosha Clan skin was in no way inferior to the corpse of a Golden-Horned Beast.
Unfortunately…
The ‘cultivation value’ of incomplete Mosha Clan skin was already very low. Its main value lay in its use for nurturing a clone. Luo Feng was still very happy about this.
“I hope the Immortal beings don’t get carried away,” Luo Feng secretly prayed. One Hunyuan unit was a huge sum for a World Master. Unless there were special circumstances, a World Master would not waste money. What he was afraid of was that some Immortal beings might recklessly throw money around.
11,000 billion Universe Coins… 11,500 billion Universe Coins…
The numbers on the token screens kept rising.
15,000 billion Universe Coins… 15,100 billion Universe Coins… 15,600 billion… 15,900 billion…
The numbers continued to jump. In just a short while, they had risen above 20,000 billion, or two Hunyuan units.
“Is there really a need for an incomplete piece of skin?” Luo Feng gritted his teeth.
“That skin contains secret patterns of the Origin Law of Space,” Babata said.
“But it’s incomplete!” Luo Feng gritted his teeth and entered another higher bid.
The price continued to jump at a dizzying speed. Several times along the way, there were sudden huge increases, rapidly pushing the price above 30,000 billion. After that, the rate of increase clearly began to slow down. After all, this was still only incomplete Mosha Clan skin.
“Three Hunyuan units. There’s no point going any higher.”
Among the more than one million throne seats, one of the guests wore strange silver armour. He had white eyebrows, white pupils, and a bald head. He had a smile on his face, making him seem like a warm sun.
Although he was warm, he was someone who needed to be looked up to.
“3.6 Hunyuan units. If I win the auction, this Mosha Clan skin can be placed in my cultivation room.”
An old man with silver hair and black robes looked at the bid surpassing 36,000 billion and could not help shaking his head before stopping his bidding.
……
“Enough, enough. Don’t go any higher.”
Luo Feng stared at the screen of his auction token. His fingers gripping the token were making cracking sounds.
“39,000 billion.”
Luo Feng gritted his teeth and entered the price once again.
Others could choose not to buy it, but he had to seize this opportunity and purchase it.
After entering the price, he continued staring at the screen. The number displayed on it remained ‘39,000 billion Universe Coins’. Several seconds passed without any change, which made Luo Feng somewhat excited.
“39,000 billion. Is there anyone willing to bid higher? Three second countdown, 3… 2… 1! Congratulations to guest number knd99286. You have obtained the incomplete Mosha Clan skin.”
The old man with the turtle shell’s voice echoed throughout the vast auction hall, whose end could not be seen at a glance.
“Phew!”
Luo Feng looked at the information displayed on his auction token and could not help letting out a long sigh of relief.
“Haha, Luo Feng, you succeeded!” Babata was overjoyed.
“Lucky. I was really afraid it would exceed what I could afford.” Luo Feng’s face was full of smiles.
That was enough. By participating in this Qian Wu auction, he had seen thousands of rare and precious items, numbering in the tens of thousands. He had also purchased quite a few important items.
The Lan Ke Fruit was for the Mo Yun Vine to consume. The ‘Yan Shen Weapon’ would be his personal weapon for a very long time in the future. As for the ‘Mosha Clan skin’, he would use it to nurture his second clone.
His second clone, a Mosha Clan member!
“There’s just one thing I’m worried about now…” Luo Feng thought secretly.
“Worried about what?” Babata asked.
“I’m worried about the strength level of the original owner of this Mosha Clan skin.” Luo Feng thought. “The Golden-Horned Beast cannot nurture a clone that exceeds its own level. The Golden-Horned Beast is currently at the sixth level of the Universe level, so the strongest clone it can nurture is also at the sixth level of the Universe level. As for the original owner of this skin… I hope it wasn’t stronger than the sixth level of the Universe level.”
“We can only leave it to luck. But Luo Feng, don’t worry. As the strongest assassin race, the stronger a Mosha Clan member is, the harder it is to kill them, let alone kill them while preserving their skin. Therefore… the probability that it was a World Master is almost zero. The probability that it was a Domain Lord is relatively high, while the probability that it was at the Universe level is even higher. Of course… we still have to rely on your luck.”
This Qian Wu auction had attracted more than half of the powerful figures within the Qian Wu Universe Country. There were even some Immortal beings from other universe countries who had come to participate!
An empire emperor, a leader of an organisation, and even a Divine Master Immortal from a divine kingdom were merely participants in the auction, and Luo Feng was also one of them.
Many figures of extremely high status had participated in this auction primarily for that most important final headline auction item.
“Everyone, so far, 99 headline auction items have been auctioned at this auction,” the old man with the turtle shell said with a broad smile, his voice echoing throughout the entire auction hall. “Only the final headline auction item remains! Once this item has been auctioned, this Qian Wu auction will officially come to an end.”
“I believe everyone can hardly wait. Actually, even I, Old Bato, am getting impatient.”
The old man with the turtle shell’s voice suddenly became louder.
“Now!!!”
“I solemnly announce that the final headline auction item is one quota for comprehending the Initial Universe!”
The old man with the turtle shell’s eyes shone brilliantly, and his voice rang out loudly.
“A World Master level quota! This is a quota to enter the Initial Universe for comprehension. I believe all the World Masters and Immortal beings present know exactly how precious such a quota is!”
Wow!
The entire auction hall completely erupted.
Although this news had been released long ago, when they heard that the final auction item was indeed this quota, the entire venue still became completely stirred up.
“The Initial Universe.”
“The legendary Initial Universe. Being able to enter and take a look, even if you reached the end of your lifespan and died afterwards, it would still be worth it.”
“I heard that the Initial Universe is different from our Original Universe.”
“The Initial Universe quotas have long been controlled by the five giants. Even the various universe countries find it extremely difficult to obtain a single quota. Not to mention a ‘World Master level’ quota… This is going to become crazy. The auction price will definitely be insane.”
……
The discussions continued without end. Luo Feng could even feel the heat, envy, anticipation, and excitement contained in the voices around him.
“Babata, what does a quota for comprehending the Initial Universe mean?” Luo Feng asked. “What kind of place is the Initial Universe?”
“Luo Feng, you should know that the universe we currently live in is vast and boundless, with countless races. This universe is known as the ‘Original Universe’. The Original Universe is an extremely complete universe, so comprehending the Origin Laws is very difficult,” Babata said. “But the Initial Universe is different.”
“Initial… Since it is called the Initial Universe, that means the ‘Initial Universe’ is in the early stages of the universe’s evolutionary process.”
“According to legend, no lifeforms have yet been born in the Initial Universe.”
“According to legend, because the Initial Universe is incomplete, natural disasters occur constantly.”
“According to legend, because it is incomplete, it is easier to comprehend its Origin Laws!”
“In the universe, some super organisations, such as Virtual Universe Company, Universe Galaxy Bank, Giant Axe Dojo, and the other five giants, will occasionally send some important elites to the Initial Universe to comprehend its mysteries.” Babata sighed. “Comprehension in the Initial Universe makes it easier to improve.”
Luo Feng was confused. “Where did the Initial Universe come from? How do we get there?”
“I don’t know,” Babata said.
……
In the auction hall, the old man with the turtle shell shouted, “For a peak World Master entering the Initial Universe, the probability of becoming an Immortal exceeds one half! This quota is incomparably precious. Now, the auction begins! The starting price is once again 0!”
“1,000 Hunyuan units!”
This number appeared on the auction tokens of more than a million guests, causing many World Masters to sigh inwardly.
What wealth!
The number suddenly jumped.
“10,000 Hunyuan units!”
Silence!
The entire auction hall fell completely silent.
All the World Masters were somewhat dumbfounded. This was the first time throughout the entire auction that the price had reached 10,000 Hunyuan units!
This was the threshold for a four star account. Among Immortal experts, possessing 10,000 Hunyuan units already meant that one was doing quite well.
Throwing out 10,000 Hunyuan units just for a World Master level comprehension quota was indeed astonishing.
“My heavens, this is only a World Master level quota. If it were an Immortal level quota… how expensive would it be?” Luo Feng’s eyes widened.
“An Immortal level quota would never appear at an ‘elementary auction’. It would generally appear as an extremely rare headline item at an ‘intermediate auction’, or appear at an ‘advanced auction’. Even your teacher would sometimes be unable to afford one after exhausting all his wealth.” Babata sighed.
“Hm?” Luo Feng was stunned.
“Your teacher once participated in an auction, but in the end, even after exhausting all his wealth, he still couldn’t afford it.” Babata shook his head. “So your teacher has never been to the Initial Universe either.”
“My teacher has never been there?”
“Although he has never been there… it is merely a special place. The Initial Universe is in the ‘initial state’ of the universe’s evolution. In terms of size, it is also far smaller than the Original Universe!” Babata said. “The Original Universe contains countless races and countless lifeforms. Humans are merely one of the countless lifeforms in the Original Universe!”
“The Original Universe is the true core.”
“As for other secret realms, divine kingdoms, worlds, the Initial Universe, and some other special places, many of them are even dependent on the ‘Original Universe’!” Babata said. “Or rather, many of them are merely parts of the Original Universe!”
“A part?” Luo Feng was puzzled.
“Even if I told you now, you wouldn’t understand! Cough… Actually, I don’t know much about this either!”
“Although your teacher can be considered a powerful expert among Immortal beings, there are countless powerful experts in the vast universe. There are also many who are stronger than your teacher.”
“Moreover, the universe is simply too vast. Even an Immortal being would find it difficult to explore the entire universe after spending hundreds of millions of years. Therefore, your teacher only knows a tiny fraction about this universe. Naturally, I don’t know much either,” Babata said. “As the oldest, strongest, and most mysterious ‘Original Universe’, if you want to know more, you will have to rely on yourself.”
Luo Feng smiled.
At present, he was merely struggling within the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield. He had not even entered the Qian Wu Universe Country, let alone dared to talk about exploring the entire universe.
After all, the human race was merely one type of life among the countless lifeforms in the vast universe.
“36,530 Hunyuan units! Is there anyone willing to bid higher?”
“36,550 Hunyuan units, uh, 37,000 Hunyuan units. It is now 37,000 Hunyuan units!”
The old man with the turtle shell’s voice resounded throughout the enormous auction hall.
“Is there anyone willing to bid higher? The countdown is beginning… 10, 9, ah, 37,500 Hunyuan units! A new high price, a new high price! At the final moment, if you miss this opportunity, it will be very difficult to encounter another one! 10… 9… 8…”
“3… 2… 1! Congratulations to guest number tuf49903. You have obtained one World Master level quota to enter the Initial Universe for comprehension! I wish that a new Immortal will be born under your command!”
The old man with the turtle shell’s voice was extremely excited.
“All the auction items in this auction have now been successfully auctioned. Thank you all for your support. I, Old Bato, solemnly announce that this auction… is officially concluded!”
