Legend of Swordsman

The final decision on the two strategies was based on the opinion of a first-rank official.

The proposal for a national war came from the second prince of the Duke’s mansion, but it was too radical and unsuitable. There was no need to consult the ancestors; Xia Mang Yuxing immediately vetoed the idea.

As the Crown Prince mentioned, if the national war were to drag on and the Southern Domain suddenly attacked, what would they do?

Although the MO Luo Nation was strong, its strength was mainly superficial, and its foundation was lacking.

A national war was unnecessary, they could defeat the enemy without it. With just four cities, a steady advance and slow erosion would be enough to entangle the MO Luo Nation.

However, even so, the expenses of this campaign were staggering.

Even a tier 6 Emperor couldn’t bear the burden, and only an ancient kingdom like Great Xia had the courage for such an endeavor.

Military preparations and resource mobilization would take several years and couldn’t be accomplished overnight.

Jian Wushuangs 10,000-strong army was inconspicuous in the Northern Army camp.

Having spent decades in the military camp, constantly cooperating with these people, although the Luo Hou Formation hadn’t been mastered yet, preparations had to be made. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be time to practice when the need arose.

The seven newly recruited tier 4 Emperors, known as the ‘Seven Wonders of Meishan% had average strength, but they were knowledgeable in various unconventional methods.

Among them was a snake- scorpion clan woman, exceptionally skilled in assassination and naturally charming. She had already had intimate relations with many Emperors in the camp, causing Jian Wushuang a considerable headache.

At the end of the third era of the New Calendar, a decade before the expedition, the auction proceeded as scheduled at the Ying Tower in the eastern city.

On this day, it could be said that myriad immortals gathered.

Tier 5 Emperors, usually rare, one after another, made the tier 4 Emperors inconspicuous among them.

Princes like Xia Mang Guanyu were even more inconspicuous.

“Look, the Imperial Emperor of Great Xia!”

Many powerhouses followed the sound and looked.

Great Xia Emperor, Xia Mang Yunxing came dressed in a black dragon robe, accompanied by Xuanyuan Anshui.

In the heavens, tier 5 Emperors personally welcomed him and, with the standard of a tier 6 Emperor, escorted the Great Xia Imperial Emperor into the Ying Tower.

After a brief pause, Jian Wushuang also entered. Since he had put up the Boundless Ice Corpse for auction here, there was no need to verify assets. He walked directly through the VIP channel.

In just these few days, his overt expenses exceeded 300 million godstones.

The heavens controlled everything, and information was a significant feature. How could they not know how many godstones the Ninth Prince had.

8 billion godstones!

Jian Wushuang carried a precious item and entered the Ying Tower.

This Ying Tower was, in fact, an eternal treasure, a treasure of the heavens, forming its own world inside.

Ordinary cultivators could only sit on the throne in the hall, while VIPs had individual rooms.

And the treasures Jian Wushuang had put up for auction here were very rare, qualifying him to sit here.

Those who could sit here were either tier 5 Emperors or tier 4 Emperors with great fortunes, each with a net worth of over 10 billion.

Entering the room, the interior was somewhat similar to the Firefox Palace. Before him were huge gauze windows, clearly revealing everything happening in the outer hall, while the outside couldn’t see what was happening inside.

Sitting on the white jade-carved throne, Jian Wushuang curiously looked toward the hall.

Now, there were already millions of people in the hall.

The weakest were a few Dao Lords, probably those who came with their elders.

Among the Emperors, the weakest were at the peak of the tier 3.

Some covered their faces, making it impossible to see their expressions, while others revealed their faces, but most of them were not their true appearances.

The auction began soon after.

A gracefully elegant and supremely slender beauty stepped onto the central stage of the auction hall.

This seemingly alluring beauty was, in fact, a genuine tier 6 Emperor, surpassing the eunuch in the imperial palace by several grades and even outclassing the ancestral figure of the Great Xia among the tier 6 Emperors.

Already reaching the level of the Shangqings Supreme Ancestor.

“Ladies and gentlemen, coming from afar, on behalf of the Heavenly Court, I express our gratitude for your presence!” The beautiful woman bowed slightly after speaking.

This scene surprised many in the hall!

A tier 6 Emperor!

She actually bowed to them, the tier 3 Emperors.

This was also the reason why the Heavenly Court could become a peak force not arrogant or rash!

“Alright, now the auction officially begins. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Nalan Ci!”

“Nalan Ci!” Bai Junwang muttered to himself.

Jian Wushuang furrowed his brows slightly, asking in confusion, “What’s wrong? Do you know her?”

“l don’t know this little girl, but I know the ancestor of the Nalan family!” Bai Junwang asserted confidently.

The Nalan family?

This was the first time Jian Wushuang had heard of it. Curious, he asked, “Are you so sure she is from the Nalan family as you claim?”

“Hehe, quite charming! All the women of the Nalan family look the same. How could I not recognize them? Back then, I had some dealings with the ancestor of the Nalan family…” Here, Bai Junwang wore a somewhat nostalgic expression.

Jian Wushuang shook his head, paying no attention to the other party, and focused on the auction hall.

The first treasure appeared.

“Exclusive to the Tiannan, Rhinoceros Horn Wood, its fragrance can make people seek enlightenment in their dreams! Starting price, 5 million godstones.” Nalan Ci held the treasure in one hand while scanning the audience with the other.

The sensing power of the tier 6 Emperor was terrifying; each bid was clearly confirmed.

“6 million!” “6 million 500 thousand!”

“7 million!”

In the hall, a white-haired old man, a hint of amusement in his eyes, raised the token and said in a low voice, “10 million!”

“10 million? No need to continue!”

Many chose to give up.

This treasure was somewhat redundant for tier 4 Emperors and too extravagant for tier 3 Emperors.

Offering 10 million was already a high price.

Soon, the first item was sold, in just a few breaths.

There were about 100,000 items for auction this time, and at this rate, it would take years to finish selling them all.

The first few items were all within the ten million range, gradually increasing as the auction progressed, with starting bids exceeding 10 million.

“The Blue Fire Boundary Stone, capable of activating the origin source of the fire space within, starting bid 150 million!”

A treasure related to the origin of the space!

Jian Wushuang immediately became interested. This time, he not only needed treasures of various kinds to enhance his Extreme Dao, but he also needed to improve the origin of the space.

For future paving.

The origin of the space was closely related to his current strongest field, the One Thought Universe. The stronger the space, the more powerful the One Thought Universe.

In the One Thought Universe, he had crossed tiers multiple times, relying on suppressing his opponents within it to enhance his own combat power.

Even after merging with the power of devouring, he found that when suppressing opponents, he could devour the lost combat power of the opponent, making him even more formidable than before.

This was his strongest trump card; when the One Thought Universe emerged, his combat power increased by more than 10 times.

Much stronger than a supreme treasure.

“20 million!” In the VIP room, there was no token, but there was a jade slip on the armrest of the throne. Just tapping it would display his bid.

He directly added 5 million..
