Legend of Swordsman - Chapter 5784
5784 Nine Tribulations Tower
The aura emanating from him revealed the presence of an ancient figure at the Seventh Tribulation.
Though he was a Scattered Tribulation expert, he still possessed considerable strength.
Jian Wushuang was momentarily stunned, thinking to himself, “These people don’t even know the purpose of the Nine Tribulations Tower, yet they dare to bid?”
At the same time, a Universe Master at the Sixth Tribulation also spoke up!
“I bid 180,000 primordial stones!”
Goodness!
180,000 primordial stones.
This price.
It was already the highest bid at the auction.
180,000 primordial stones.
Sure enough, being a Universe Master meant having deep pockets.
With the serious decline in power due to being scattered across realms and lacking the primordial stones condensed from the Universe Origin Source, they couldn’t compete with the Universe Master in terms of wealth.
After reaching 180,000, the price fell into a brief calm.
Jian Wushuang took the opportunity to ask Sword Immortal Tonghe, “Senior Tonghe, does the Nine Tribulations Tower have any special function?”
“Tsk tsk, Jian Wushuang, it’s your first time attending this kind of auction, you may not know, but whenever treasures from the Ancient Moon Ruins come out, nobody really knows their functions. Most of those put up for auction are things even the owners can’t figure out, they just want quick cash. Those who truly understand them wouldn’t put them up for auction. The treasures from the Ancient Moon Ruins are the lowest grade Universal Treasures, and there are even innate primordial Universe Treasures!” Sword Immortal Tonghe tapped his fingers on the armrest of his throne, his gaze fixed on the Nine Tribulations Tower, contemplating whether to make a move.
The treasures that came out of the Ancient Moon Ruins were extremely mysterious. Almost like special treasures.
Few people would put them up for auction,
Even if they couldn’t figure them out themselves, they wouldn’t want them to spread to the outside world.
Otherwise, if someone else grasped them and realized they were losing out, they’d be furious.
The Nine Tribulations Tower being put up for auction probably meant that the person behind it urgently needed primordial stones.
Hearing Sword Immortal Tonghe’s explanation, Jian Wushuang once again looked at the Nine Tribulations Tower.
If that was the case, perhaps he wasn’t very interested.
He wasn’t in dire need of treasures.
Having the Beast God’s Weapon was enough.
With so many trump cards of his own, sometimes treasures could become a burden,
But when the Nine Tribulations Tower appeared in the hall, the Skysight Ileavenly Chessboard within his origin stirred!
The two seemed to have some kind of connection.
This made Jian Wushuang consider whether he should intervene and buy the Nine Tribulations Tower.
Observing the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard, it was a treasure of spacetime. The value of the Nine Tribulations Tower would double if it resonated with the Temporal Treasure.
Most importantly, the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard was the treasure left to him by Master Xuan Yi.
Maybe the Nine Tribulations Tower also had a connection with Teacher Xuan Yi,
This forced him to take a risk.
Of course, not to snatch it.
But to buy it with his own money.
Primordial stones!
He didn’t have any.
But he possessed the Life power that drove all Scattered Tribulations crazy.
He could transform All Things into life.
Only he could do it.
The Life force at the level of an Emperor, as long as refined, could help those scattered tribulations restore their divine bodies.
It was time for him to take a gamble.
He just couldn’t blatantly reveal it.
He had to carefully plan it out.
“There it is!” Jian Wushuang’s mouth curled up, and the avatar within the Universe Origin Source took out a piece of finger.
It was loosened from Dong Jun’s skeleton.
Originally, he was reluctant, but there was no other way.
He had to take a gamble.
A piece of Dong Jun’s finger.
It was already very valuable.
Just this piece of finger, even if given to those strong at the Sixth Tribulation, to absorb.
It could enhance their divine power by about 100,000.
This was a substantial enhancement.
Those strong at the Sixth Tribulation, even Scattered Tribulations, also had about 700,000
divine power.
An increase of 100,000 meant 800,000.
It was a whole new level of improvement, multiplying their combat power several times
over.
In an auction, t would easily fetch 200,000 primordial stones.
Of course, these 200,000 were far from enough.
The severed finger perhaps could have been contended for by the experts of the Sixth Tribulation, as the Life power it contained was potent enough to attract even those at the Seventh Tribulation, including Lian Xing himself.
However, the Life force couldn’t be openly displayed.
With a swish, the power of All Things began to converge, then transformed into the essence
of Life.
The Emperor-level Life force condensed once more, reaching the level of the Tribulation
Realm.
Repeatedly, the well-condensed Life power was injected into this severed finger.
Inside the hall, the auction continued.
The price of the Nine Tribulations Tower had reached 300,000.
Now, only the Universe Masters of the Sixth Tribulation and Scattered Tribulation experts
of the Seventh Tribulation were bidding.
Others had lost the qualification to compete.
It wasn’t because their financial resources couldn’t keep up.
Their ambitions couldn’t.
Universe Masters of the Sixth Tribulation vied for it!
They aimed for future transcending tribulations.
Scattered Tribulation experts of the Seventh Tribulation contested for their own strength
and to maintain their status and family.
What did the scattered experts of the Sixth Tribulation have?
They had power, they had family, but they weren’t superpowers. Even if the Nine Tribulations Tower’s power defied the heavens, acquiring it would still be like holding onto a
hot potato.
So, there was no need to vie for it.
“Fight for it, and preferably stall for a bit longer!” Jian Wushuang’s temples bulged, his whole
body stiffened.
This was a side effect.
Forcing and rapidly converting Life power had repercussions on oneself.
It wasn’t like when he revived Fuego, proceeding calmly and steadily.
Now he was too rushed, even more so than during battles.
He needed to condense Life power that would entice the Scattered Tribulation experts of
the Seventh Tribulation.
Otherwise, bringing it out wouldn’t hold much value.
Using the remains of Dong Jun as the host, the powerful force of Life gradually gathered.
It took almost the time for an incense stick to burn.
However, the number of strong bidders was dwindling. Some of the peak forces’ experts had stopped bidding altogether,
From the side of the Shi Kingdom’s royal family, the bid had reached 460,000 primordial
stones.
“Brother Shi Xiu, you should prepare for your tribulation. It’s better to let this Nine
Tribulations Tower belong to me!”
“500,000!” After speaking, the elder who spoke first offered a price surpassing that of the
Shi Kingdom’s royal family.
500,000 primordial stones.
Even for a Seventh Tribulation, it would require 50 epochs.
Crucially, even the Shi Kingdom’s royal family lacked a Universe Master at the Seventh
Tribulation.
For Shi Xiu to condense it himself would require several hundred epochs.
This was already a sky-high price.
Shi Xiu tapped the armrest of his throne, not out of hesitation but to contact several
ancestors of the royal family to discuss the value of the Nine Tribulations Tower.
Now, the bidding was no longer an individual’s decision.
Behind him were the strong members of the royal family.
Shi Xiu was on the verge of his tribulation, requiring a lot of primordial stones. Ile didn’t
need to spend a large sum on a treasure whose use was unknown.
But the royal family was wealthy!
Now, he represented the royal family.
As long as those ancestors were willing to pay, securing it was no problem.
This was the Shi Kingdom.
Ranked first among the 16 Kingdoms of Qingchao, it was a superpowerful divine nation.
Their financial strength was unmatched.
Snap!
The sound of fingers tapping the stone throne echoed, and Shi Xiu received the command from the ancestors, giving him confidence in his heart.
