The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2261: Chapter 2261: Bidding for Magic Technique Books

The auction soon began officially, and the host of this auction was an Elder from the Mystic Moon Trading House. This implies the high regard Mystic Moon Trading House has for this auction.

All the Elders of Mystic Moon Trading House are experts in the Immortal Venerable Realm, and for such a figure to personally host the auction is quite rare.

Once the auction started, Mystic Moon Trading House showcased their status as the largest commercial establishment in Faro Heaven with a variety of precious and rare resource treasures. Numerous rare treasures were successively put up for auction, and powerful cultivators and members of other forces from all over the Heavenly Domain fiercely competed for these treasures.

Although some forces in this auction had their sights set primarily on the Immortal Rhythm Level Dematerialization Technique, given the sheer number of participating forces, the competition was still intense even if some rarely made a move.

Seeing such a fierce scenario, the higher-ups at Mystic Moon Trading House laughed heartily. Without the Dematerialization Technique Manual, such a vast gathering of major power leaders and strong Immortal Venerable cultivators could not have been attracted.

Jing Yan sat in a private box, observing each item as it came up. However, he held back from bidding. Though these items were precious, Jing Yan had yet to find something he truly desired.

Due to the large number of auction items, this auction was expected to last longer. At the current pace, it would take approximately ten days to complete.

Three days briskly passed.

During the first three days, Jing Yan did not bid once.

On the fourth day, the situation changed somewhat.

"Fellow Daoists, for the next three days, the auction will shift to the Spell Auction Arena," the Elder said with a smile.

In the first three days, the items were mainly miscellaneous goods. Starting from the fourth day, which is today, various magic technique books will be auctioned. Of course, any magic technique book worthy of being in this tier of auction will not be of low grade, at the very least it would be of the Immortal Rhythm Level. Moreover, a too-commonplace Immortal Rhythm Level magic technique book probably wouldn’t even qualify to be an auction item at this level.

"Are they going to auction that Immortal Rhythm Level Dematerialization Technique Manual?" someone asked loudly.

All present immediately perked up their ears.

Those attending the auction for the Immortal Rhythm Level Dematerialization Technique were all aglow with anticipation.

"Heh, the Immortal Rhythm Level Dematerialization Technique Manual can’t purely be considered a magic technique book. Therefore, our Mystic Moon Trading House has categorized it as a special item and will not auction it alongside other magic technique books." The Elder from Mystic Moon Trading House chuckled gently.

Upon hearing this, many people showed disappointed expressions. However, this was within their expectations. The value and significance of the Immortal Rhythm Level Dematerialization Technique are well known, and Mystic Moon Trading House surely wouldn’t release such a dematerialization technique for bidding too early.

The auction continued.

The items brought up for auction were indeed various kinds of magic technique books. They appeared in different forms: some looked like steles, some like books, while others resembled crystal balls. But they shared commonalities, including similar materials.

"I should also purchase some magic technique books," Jing Yan contemplated.

Currently, the only Immortal Rhythm Level technique Jing Yan created himself is the Chaos Sword. The Immortal Rhythm Level techniques no longer suffice for his current realm of cultivation.

Although he also possesses terrifying offensive methods like the Thunder Origin, created from Thunder Emperor’s inheritance, these are not of his creation. The attack techniques he mastered, such as the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique and the Ancient Tree Inheritance, are fully adept for him, yet because they aren’t his creations, they can’t achieve perfect compatibility.

The Chaos Sword has perfect compatibility but remains at the Immortal Rhythm Level.

Therefore, Jing Yan is considering elevating the Chaos Sword’s level. However, attempting to elevate an Immortal Rhythm Level Dematerialization Technique to the Immortal Venerable level is challenging, even if the dematerialization technique was created by himself.

Jing Yan plans to purchase more Immortal Rhythm Level Dematerialization Techniques and further cultivate several Immortal Venerable Level Dematerialization Techniques, exploring how to raise the Chaos Sword to the Immortal Venerable level. If the Chaos Sword reaches the Immortal Venerable tier, Jing Yan conservatively estimates it would be no weaker than the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique. It might even surpass it in power. Crucially, the Chaos Sword could integrate closely with the Ancient Tree Inheritance’s power, achieving an even greater level of terror.

The Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique cannot integrate its attacks with the Ancient Tree Inheritance.

The Thunder Origin, from the Thunder Emperor’s legacy, is an Immortal Technique, undoubtedly of unmatched power. However, Jing Yan can currently only perform Thunder Light Shining. The second move, Thunder Nine Strikes, remains out of reach, with conditions required for its use still unknown. Thus, Jing Yan cannot place all his hopes on the Thunder Origin.

The auction venue had commenced the bidding for magic technique books.

Jing Yan did not rush to take action; even when he intended to buy a magic technique book, he wouldn’t purchase randomly. He requires magic technique books related to Space-Time and Five Elements Attributes. The Chaos Sword, as a technique, is fundamentally based on Five Elements Attributes, supplemented by the Time and Space Law for its creation.

To elevate the Chaos Sword to the Immortal Venerable Level, the most straightforward approach is from the perspective of Five Elements and Space-Time Attributes.

The auction saw a considerable quantity of magic technique books for sale, many among them possessing the Five Elements and Space-Time Attributes. Whenever these two major categories of magic technique books appear, Jing Yan places his bids, ensuring he secures them unless the price seems too exorbitant.

Even the magic technique books, though of the Immortal Rhythm Level, rank as exceptionally powerful, at least equivalent to the Seven Luminaries Technique.

Following the conclusion of the magic technique book special session, Jing Yan managed to acquire nine Immortal Rhythm Level magic technique books and five Immortal Venerable Level magic technique books. The purchase of over ten magic technique books incurred substantial costs, consuming more than forty billion Black Crystal Stones from Jing Yan. One Immortal Venerable magic technique book, in particular, was the costliest, costing Jing Yan nearly thirty billion Black Crystal Stones alone. Excluding this, the remaining nine Immortal Rhythm Level and four Immortal Venerable Level magic technique books together were valued at over ten billion Black Crystal Stones.

"With these magic technique books, elevating the Chaos Sword to the Immortal Venerable Level shouldn’t pose significant issues."

"Of course, I must first master all these magic technique books," Jing Yan said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

With ample resources, alongside the assistance of the Netherworld Crystal Stone, cultivating these Immortal Rhythm Level and Immortal Venerable Level techniques should be achievable for Jing Yan without much difficulty. Moreover, he bought over a dozen technique books, all related to the Five Elements and Space-Time Attributes, areas where Jing Yan’s talent is remarkably high.
