Chapter 493

Hearing Shangguan Bingxi's words, the monk frowned. His crazy impulsiveness turned into rationality.

As Zi Chen said, he was the only monk in the entire southern region. This useless Buddhist scripture being auctioned here was clearly targeted at him.

Furthermore, it was a broken Buddhist scripture. Apart from the monk, it was useless to outsiders.

"6,155,555 going once."

The hesitant monk did not bid. The Buddhist scripture was about to be sold. In another box, Dan Yuan's forehead was already covered in sweat.

He only wanted the monk to bleed a little. He never imagined that the other party would suddenly fall silent and take out 6,155,555 to buy back his Buddhist scripture. This was truly …

"6,155,555 going twice."

Dan Yuan was not confident and felt a faint sense of regret. If he had known that the other party would back down, he would not have increased the price so fiercely.

"6,155,555 going thrice."

"6,165,555." Seeing that the deal was about to be completed, the monk's voice rang out again. This time, it was not firm and was very hesitant.

Dan Yuan let out a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. However, he did not give up and increased the price by another ten thousand.

This time, the monk did not speak for a long time. When he called out for the third time, he increased the price by another ten thousand.

Thus, a dramatic scene occurred. The person who wanted to scam the monk was covered in cold sweat and extremely nervous. His eyes were glued to the box the monk was in, listening attentively. As for the monk, who was determined to obtain the Buddhist scripture, he was calm and collected.

The other factions participating in the auction had clearly guessed something. Their eyes flickered as they looked at the box the monk was bidding in.

In the end, the Buddhist scripture was sold for 6,255,555. Dan Yuan did not dare to increase the price again for fear that the monk would suddenly not want it.

However, this final price still left people speechless. One had to know that the auction had nearly been sold for 605,555.

The auction gradually came to an end. During this time, Zi Chen bought several sets of liquefied essence in succession.

"Next, we will auction a true supreme treasure pill. It can bring the dead back to life. As long as you still have a breath left, you will be able to instantly revive and be lively."

The auctioneer's words pushed the auction to another climax.

This was a sparkling and translucent jade-green pill. It shone brightly and had inconceivable miraculous effects. As long as one still had a breath left, swallowing this pill would allow one to live.

With such miraculous effects, it was simply a divine pill.

The supreme treasure pill's base price was one million primal stones. It could be said to be ridiculously expensive. Furthermore, each increase in price could not be lower than one hundred thousand.

Everyone went crazy and began to throw a hundred thousand gold in one go.

"6.0 million!" Tyrant shouted, looking determined to get it.

But soon, his voice was drowned out by all kinds of noise.

"Two million." Zi Chen's words only caused a small ripple.

Everyone went crazy for this life-saving pill. In the end, Zi Chen and Tyrant looked at each other and decided to join hands.

The two tycoons joined hands and became a tycoon. Then, they threw away millions of gold.

"Four million." Zi Chen's voice became a little hoarse.

And this wave also came to an end. In the end, the deal was made for four million. The two tycoons' pockets were almost embarrassed.

After the supreme precious pill, the auction reached a true climax. Later on, all types of precious pills appeared, and there were several of them, triggering another great fight. However, there were two people missing.

The highest price of the auction was the entry tokens.

One after another, the entry badges were auctioned off at sky-high prices, even surpassing the value of a single pill. It was obvious that the great factions were making a final gamble.

"Heavens, the great factions are really rich." Zi Chen and Tyrant sighed when they heard the shocking numbers.

In this auction, primeval stones were merely a number.

When the auction finally came to an end, Zi Chen and Tyrant spent almost all the vitality stones they got from the entry tokens.

They also used the vitality stones they got to buy other things in the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion. In the end, the two exchanged almost all their vitality stones for items. Their pockets were empty.

After the auction ended, the opening of the ancient battlefield was next. Of course, it would take some time because the great factions had to make their preparations.

In the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, Shangguan Feixiong, who was about to leave, went to look for Zi Chen.

"Zi Chen, if I'm not wrong, your life should end when you reach the Core Realm." This was the first thing he said when he saw Zi Chen. His words stunned Zi Chen.

"Senior, what do you mean?"

Zi Chen didn't understand. If the two of them weren't familiar with each other, Zi Chen would definitely be angry. Who would curse someone to die the moment they entered?

"You have two kinds of ultimate Yuan Li in your body. Although I don't know how you made the two kinds of Yuan Li coexist, I'm sure that the moment your Yuan Li forms Core Realm, the two kinds of Yuan Li will collide."

Shangguan Feixiong stared at Zi Chen and said solemnly, "And if the two kinds of Yuan Li collide and can't fuse, they will be destroyed."

Hearing this, Zi Chen frowned. Shangguan Feixiong's words made sense.

Ever since he started cultivating the Yin Yang Chant, the moment the Yin and Yang energy was not balanced, it would backfire. Although his understanding of the Yin Yang energy had been deepening and he was getting more and more comfortable with it, there were still a few very dangerous backfires in the past few years.

Right now, he was only at the Spirit Origin Realm, and the Yuan Li in his body could still circulate freely. But, once he reached the Core Realm and formed the only solid Core Realm in his body, the two kinds of energies would no longer be able to circulate normally. They would balance each other out, and Zi Chen's ending would be either rebirth after the fusion, or destruction after the explosion.

"As for your situation, I've checked a lot of ancient books after I went back last time. I found out that there had been similar situations in the past. They were all very powerful, and normal Sky Realm warriors might not be able to suppress them. But, almost all of them would explode and die when they reached the Core Realm."

Shangguan Feixiong looked at Zi Chen and said seriously, "Today, I'm telling you because I want you to be mentally prepared. Before you find a way to solve the fusion of the two kinds of energies, don't breakthrough."

With that, Shangguan Feixiong left.

"Old Mo, what is going on?" Zi Chen asked immediately.

A bright light flashed, and Old Mo's figure appeared. He had a hint of worry on his face, "I wanted to tell you when you reached the Core Realm, but since Shangguan Feixiong told me earlier, then I'll tell you now. He's right."

"When you reach the Core Realm, the two kinds of energies will explode again. By then, you will either be alive or dead. As for what Shangguan Feixiong said, it should be the other people in the Wuji Sect who cultivated the Yin Yang Chant, and the one who went the furthest was at the peak of the Flying Realm."

Old Mo said.

"Nothing is absolute. There is still a chance for survival. Even the heavens leave a chance for people to live. It is impossible that there is no solution."

After a while, Zi Chen opened his mouth. His voice was calm, and there was not much emotion in it. When he started cultivating the Yin Yang Chant, his future was destined to not be smooth.

However, reality proved that Zi Chen's journey had never been smooth.

"Not bad."

Old Mo had a hint of admiration in his eyes, "This is not as hard to solve as Shangguan Feixiong said. There is still a chance."

"I'm not sure what kind of chance it is, but when you return to the Wuji Sect and break through, you will naturally understand."

Old Mo said, "This is the chance that the old master deliberately left behind. There is only a chance. As for whether you can survive, he was not confident."

Zi Chen nodded when he heard this. Previously, there was no chance of survival. Now that there was a glimmer of hope, he naturally felt more comfortable in his heart. Since there was a glimmer of hope, there might be more chances. He believed that everything depended on human effort.

"Entering the ancient battlefield is your opportunity. If you can cultivate your Perfect Body to true perfection, you might have a chance of survival," Elder Mo said again.

"True perfection. How can my perfect form not be perfect?" Zi Chen retorted.

Old Mo shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about the details, but your Perfect Body seems perfect and full of power. However, it is still lacking. Perhaps there is a chance for it to advance again."

Zi Chen nodded solemnly and decided to enter the ancient battlefield to find a pile of ancient beast essence blood to cleanse his Perfect Body. This would give him another chance when he broke through to the Core Realm.

All the major forces were ready, and the day of the ancient battlefield's opening was getting closer and closer.

The ancient battlefield's entrance was very close to Chaos City. There were five overlord forces guarding it together. How many people could enter was entirely up to them.

The market Zi Chen was in was very far from Chaos City. To reach there, they had to go through multiple teleportations.

Such teleportations required a high price. The two of them were embarrassed and could not afford such expensive teleportations.

Fortunately, when the five overlord forces were collecting wealth, they were more or less benevolent. Everyone who had a quota token would be teleported for free.

"Go, but be careful." On this day, Shangguan Chuanming came to send them off.

"We will remember senior's kindness," Zi Chen said gratefully. Shangguan Chuanming was indeed good to them.

"Don't worry too much." Shangguan Chuanming smiled and said, "If you see Bingxi inside, try to help her."

"I will." Zi Chen nodded.

In a flash of light, Zi Chen and the monk's figures disappeared.

"They're gone. What should we do?"

Wolf and the others were dumbfounded. After being stationed for a long time, the hunting team of fifty people had shrunk.

This was the market in the depths of the ancient battlefield. The daily expenses were very high. Not all Core Realm cultivators could afford it. Many people chose to go back.

"We'll go too." Wolf gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind.

"They're crazy. That teleportation formation is very expensive." The expressions of the others changed. Even Heifeng frowned.

"One last time. Just one last time," Wolf said.

"To get to Chaos City from here requires a huge amount of purity stones. And …" Even more people were hesitating. Using teleportation portals required high-grade purity stones. They had to exchange for them, and the price was exorbitant.

"If you guys don't go, I'll go." Wolf looked at Heifeng. "Heifeng, are you going?"

"Alright." After hesitating for a while, Heifeng finally nodded.

Only Heifeng and Wild Wolf chose to go. Everyone had formed a team to hunt down Zi Chen and Tyrant, so they disbanded. Other than the exorbitant teleportation fee, the real reason why they were unwilling to go was because they no longer had any hope of killing the two.

Previously, dozens of people could not kill them. Now that there were only a few of them, they might be killed instead.
