Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Looking at it, it’s as though one could see the rising sun after a long night, driving away all evil.

Zhuming Chengye, born at the time when night and sun alternate at dawn, embodies the will of heaven and earth, and possesses the ability to exorcise demons, ward off evil, and burn all by its flames.

The two characters “Zhuming” mean “Great Sun”, a lower level elemental Qi under the Qi from the Great Sun’s True Flames. Among many types of elemental Qi, it ranks in the middle, with its level far surpassing the Morning Glow Purple Qi.

More importantly, Zhuming Chengye itself embodies a concept of time, which is rare among all the elemental Qi. Except for Zhuming Chengye, only a few top elemental Qi involve the concept of time.

The only regret is that Zhuming Chengye’s grade is not high enough, and the concept of time it contains is too weak, so no one can manipulate it.

Even the Tao Harmony Taoist Doyen can only try to comprehend the way of time with the help of Zhuming Chengye, and it’s difficult to make a breakthrough in understanding.

Even so, it does not detract from the value of Zhuming Chengye itself.

Shen Yuan, watching Zhuming Chengye in Yen Xiao’s hand, couldn’t help but squint his eyes slightly.

Actually, it wasn’t just Shen Yuan. All the people in the auction house had their eyes fixed on that great sun, trying to peek at its true nature underneath the spectacle.

“All!!!”

A terrible scream rang out from the auction hall below. Everyone turned to look and saw a cultivator holding his eyes with his palms. Streams of blood kept seeping slowly out from his hands.

Seeing this, Yen Xiao waved his sleeves, and the small sun from his hand was put away into the Storage Ring. After that, he solemnly said:

“Zhuming Chengye carries the Qi of heaven and earth, born with the will of the cosmos. This spectacle of the great sun is only a mystic method to limit its principal essence. If one rashly tries to directly peer into Zhuming Chengye’s nature without sufficient cultivation, they will inevitably be hurt by it.” “Someone, take this guest away for treatment.”

Immediately, a disciple from Mount Laojun led the injured person away, and only then did Yen Xiao look at all the people in the auction house with a smile on his face.

“I believe you all have an understanding of this final auction item by now.”

“Now we start the auction of the Elemental Qi, Zhuming Chengya. The starting price is 10,000 spirit stones!”

Although this price was enough to discourage most people, no one thought the starting price was too high. In fact, many people felt that compared to Zhuming Chengye’s inherent value, the starting price was slightly low.

Finally, after a long silence, a clear and pleasant woman’s voice came from the Maidens Temple on the second floor.

“12,000 spirit stones!”

As soon as her words fell, competing bids promptly sounded.

“13,000 spirit stones!”

“15,000 spirit stones!”

The initial bidding frenzy for Zhuming Chengye completely overshadowed all previous items. The major sects on the second floor began to aggressively bid, and even Marquis Zhennan’s Residence, which had been silent before, made several bids in succession.

The reason is simple – Elemental Qi is too precious. Even if Zhuming Chengye does not have a matching Cult-suppression Secret Tome inheritance, it can still attract most people to vie for it.

Elemental Qi not only contains various divine powers, but more importantly, if you can refine one kind of Elemental Qi at the Qi Training Stage, you will gain potential far beyond the same stage, and there is even the possibility of stimulating natural divine power.

“30,000 spirit stones!”

As the number of spirit stones rose to 30,000, some sects chose to withdraw after cautious consideration.

Many sect’s blessed lands indeed had some spirit stones left, but the quantity was not much. These spirit stones’ most significant value should be to purchase important spirit objects that can awake the sect’s ancestors as much as possible in this era when the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge has not yet reached its peak. Although the Elemental Qi is precious, it can’t compare with those real beings who suppress the sect’s foundation.

“36,000 spirit stones!”

The Yuezhou Yang Family Master called out this number of spirit stones with trembling, and when he heard the bids from the third-floor box easily exceed this number, the Yang Family Master let out a long sigh and calmed down.

The Yuezhou Yang Family is a regional hegemon. As soon as the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge returned, it seized several small spirit stone mines for exploitation. Even so, 36,000 spirit stones are all the existing spirit stone reserves of the Yang Family.

He used the resources of the entire clan to try to buy Elemental Qi, aiming to bring up a prodigy who can reach the Qi Training Stage with the help of Elemental Qi. However, this price is far from reaching the upper limit of the price of Elemental Qi.

Being easily surpassed by others made him feel much relieved. At least he didn’t have to bet the fate of the entire clan on a single prodigy.

One by one, different terraces of the second floor chose to give up. Only Marquis Zhennan’s Residence and the Sunn Family in Cang Province remained in the bidding war on the third floor.

Marquis Zhennan had just taken control of the Zhennan Army and battled a horde of monsters in Yunfu. Naturally, he could not risk venturing into the Yunfu mountain range himself.

The person who came to the auction venue this time was the chief caretaker of Marquis Zhennan’s Residence.

“43>2oo spirit stones.”

After quoting a price once again, the chief caretaker looked at the Sky Number

Four Box and frowned deeply.

Cang Province is also one of the provinces under the control of Marquis Zhennan. However, because Cang Province has many waterways historically, and one of the Four Waterways Dragon Palaces, River Ji Dragon Palace, is located there, Marquis Zhennan’s Residence doesn’t have much control over Cang Province.

The Sunn Family used to be a small family in Cang Province. But after Sunn Lanyu climbed the ranks of River Ji Dragon Palace, the family became the overlord of Cang Province overnight. During this period, Sunn Lanyu made a huge fortune, harvesting countless spirit stones, spirit objects, and cultivation methods. Naturally, their financial strength is incredibly strong.

Aside from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, which has been maintaining a noncommittal attitude, the Sunn Family may even be stronger than Marquis Zhennan’s Residence, even.

Marquis Zhennan controlled the three provinces, and the vast amount of spirit stones mined were transported to the Imperial Capital. Most of the remaining stones were used to support the Zhennan Army, and the leftover spirit stones that could be used for bidding were not much.

“44,000 spirit stones!”

As expected, Sunn Lanyu’s bid once again surpassed that of Marquis Zhennan’s Residence.

But the chief caretaker didn’t know that Sunn Lanyu also had bloodshot eyes and a dreadful look on his face.

Behind Sunn Lanyu, a cultivator from the Sunn Family who was at the Qi Transformation Stage whispered:

“Young Master Lanyu, this is already close to the limit of our Sunn Family’s current spirit stone stock. If we continue bidding, it may affect the operation of our family’s business and the cultivation of our clan’s disciples.”

“Cultivation?” Sunn Lanyu looked menacingly at the Sunn family cultivator who had spoken up, slapping him directly in the face.

Let me make it clear that it was I, Sunn Lanyu, who lifted those wastes to their current positions. It was I who gave them their current favorable cultivation environments.

Now that I want to use the spirit stones I have plundered for buying the treasured items I need for cultivation, what on earth has it got to do with those wastes?”

“Starting today, the cultivation resources of everyone in the family will be cut down to a third of what they originally were, and all the superfluous businesses will also be cut down.

Gathering spirit stones, I must win Zhuming Chengye!”

All of the Sunn family fell silent, as someone immediately started calling the

Sunn’s residence, conveying Sunn Lanyu’s orders.

Looking at those messages being sent one after another, Sunn Lan Yu felt like his heart was dripping blood.

True, he was wild, but he wasn’t a fool – he knew very well how much value those businesses would bring him in the future.

But being forced to this point, he didn’t have any other choice.

Indeed, he had plundered a great number of spirit stones from the other great families in Cang Province, but a significant portion of those has been used on purchasing forum points on Question Road.

Ever since he was blacklisted again by an account named ‘Falling Clouds,’ Sunn Lanyu has been trying all means to get hold of Falling Clouds’ contact info.

He’s replied to threads, put up bounties, and even forced his way into the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, yet he found no useful information.

Having no other option, Sunn Lanyu could only do what he’d done the first time Falling Clouds blacklisted him and transfer points to the latter, begging him to lift the ban.

In the recent past, Sunn Lanyu had crazily acquired points from the Question Road forum, procuring more than one hundred thousand in total.

The black market prices for those points went up by as much as three times, solely because of Sunn Lanyu’s purchases.

Despite transferring so many points to Falling Clouds, he didn’t receive a reply from the latter but lost a massive number of spirit stones.

At the thought of this, Sunn Lanyu felt enraged, wishing to find that guy called Falling Clouds and eat him alive.

You better pray that I don’t find out your real identity!”

“Fifty-five thousand spirit stones!”

Sunn Lanyu once again outbid Marquis Zhennan’s residence as the chief caretaker contemplated for a while before sighing and shaking his head, not making any further bid.

Sunn Lanyu clenched his fists, watching Yen Xiao excitingly and said aloud:

“Surely no one is going to bid at this price, hurry up and bring down the hammer!”

Yen Xiao’s gaze swept over Tian Character Five Box before he slowly announced:

“Fifty-five thousand spirit stones, once!”

“Fifty-five thousand spirit stones, twice!”

“Eighty thousand spirit stones!”

A voice boomed from inside Tian Character Five Box, interrupting Yen Xiao’s count.

The moment the number was announced, everyone present felt a chill of suffocation run through them.

Sunn Lanyu’s face, previously filled with excitement, instantly turned crimson, as if a hand was tightly choking him.

“Eighty thousand spirit stones. How can you—eighty thousand spirit stones!”

111 lodge a complaint. He can’t possibly produce eighty thousand spirit stones!”

Yen Xiao glanced at Sunn Lanyu nonchalantly and said coldly, “This guest indeed can produce eighty thousand spirit stones. Please don’t disrupt the order of the auction.”

With these words, the hall was filled with noises of shock.

Sunn Lanyu’s face twisted in fury, his eyes fixed on Tian Character Five Box. He yelled:

“I am working for the River Ji Dragon Palace, you should consider carefully if you can afford to offend the River Ji Dragon Palace!”

Yen Xiao’s expression instantly turned furious: “Sunn Lanyu! Do you seriously

think that Mount Laojun wouldn’t dare kill you?”

Inside Tian Character Five Box, Shen Yuan, hearing Sunn Lanyu’s desperate threats, smirked casually:

“The River Ji Dragon Palace can hardly save itself, yet they have the luxury to stand up for a dog like you?”

There was deadly silence in the trading hall, no one could believe that Shen Yuan would dare to belittle River Ji Dragon Palace so blatantly in public.

The people from the Heaven’s Pride Association looked at Tian Character Five Box, their eyes filled with the same disbelief one would reserve for a madman.

“He’s done for!”

Such thoughts emerged in everyone’s mind.

Yen Xiao too was stunned, but he quickly banged the hammer and proclaimed loudly:

“Zhuming Chengye is won by the guest in Tian Character Five Box!”

With that, the dazzling mini-sun appeared in Yen Xiao’s hands again.

Before Yen Xiao could make a move, a violent noise came from the always silent Tian Character One Box — the glass shattered all at once.

An elegant white deer stepped on air, slowly walking on the stage in the center of the hall from the box, opening up its mouth wide to swallow Zhuming Chengye directly into its gut.

An overwhelming aura was immediately released, spreading across the entire trade hall. Everyone felt a massive pressure bearing down on their hearts.

In the crowd, someone looked terrified and shouted:

“Qi Training Great Demon!”
