This auction item can only be traded with spirit stones, and does not accept exchanges of heavenly will?
Upon hearing Auctioneer Zhu Si's words, many guests present showed surprise in their eyes.
Li Qi's gaze instantly lit up.
His previously lazy expression changed in an instant, and he looked intently at Zhu Si on the auction stage.
As expected, a maid carefully walked up from the edge of the auction stage.
In the maid's hands were three spatial rings.
Zhu Si grabbed one of the spatial rings.
With a thought, his divine soul entered the spatial ring.
The next moment, a special pressure instantly permeated the venue.
Immediately after, everyone present saw a gray, mist-like substance appear in the spatial ring.
The expressions of many cultivators who were themselves Plane Lords changed slightly.
They were too familiar with this kind of aura.
This was the will of heaven.
Moreover, judging by the pressure of this heavenly will, it was considerably stronger than the heavenly will in the small worlds of most of the Plane Lords present.
This... at least it would be the will of heaven that could accommodate cultivators at the Dao Integration stage, right?
Sensing this, the guests at the auction immediately reacted.
No wonder it could only be traded with spirit stones.
After all, what was being auctioned this time was a form of hard currency.
Could it be that when auctioning this Dao Integration stage heavenly will, lower-level heavenly will would be used to make up the difference?
Wouldn't that be pure folly!
And the next moment, when that mass of Dao Integration stage heavenly will was released from the spatial ring.
It struggled violently, as if it wanted to escape directly into the Azure Auction House.
But Zhu Si's expression remained unchanged. He lightly raised his palm, and terrifying suction surged from his palm.
In Zhu Si's hands, this Dao Integration stage heavenly will was like a plaything.
Without any power to resist, it was directly grasped tightly and stuffed back into the spatial ring by Zhu Si.
Zhu Si picked up the spatial ring in his hand again, and his laughter slowly echoed.
"As all esteemed guests can see, this auction item is the will of heaven."
"These three spatial rings each contain a mass of heavenly will that can accommodate cultivators at the triple-heavenly Dao Integration stage."
"The auction method will be individual auctions, with only one mass of heavenly will auctioned at a time. Well, the starting price for this item is twenty-two million spirit stones. The auction begins now!"
As he finished speaking, Zhu Si's face showed a smile again, and he stood quietly on the auction stage.
In front of him, the general auction seats were silent, with no guests choosing to bid.
It was clear that for the guests in the general auction seats, if they could make up the required price with heavenly will, they might still be able to afford it.
But if it were purely spirit stones, it was likely that almost no one could afford it.
However, Zhu Si was not flustered by this at all.
He had already expected that the guests in the general auction seats would not be able to afford this special auction item.
Immediately, Zhu Si's gaze slowly turned to the VIP boxes, and he said with a smile,
"Fellow Daoists in the VIP seats must all be Plane Lords of their own small worlds. Although the Dao Integration stage heavenly will itself might not be of use to you, if you can allow the heavenly will of your own small world to devour it and enhance its strength."
"Then the feedback to you as Plane Lords will be a considerable increase in lifespan, and an improvement in various authority strengths, right? Being able to live a few hundred years longer would surely be beneficial for those of you who have cultivated to the ninth heavenly stage of Dao Integration, wouldn't it? After all, perhaps someone is just lacking these few hundred years of lifespan and will miss the opportunity to transcend the tribulation."
As Zhu Si spoke, it was evident that the atmosphere in the VIP boxes changed.
It was no secret that Plane Lords had various authority enhancements from the heavenly will of their own small worlds, and the strength of these enhancements naturally depended on the strength of the heavenly will.
For example, in terms of lifespan alone, a heavenly will at the first heavenly stage of Void Refinement could not possibly provide the same lifespan enhancement to a Plane Lord as a heavenly will at the ninth heavenly stage of Void Refinement, right?
The latter would naturally provide more lifespan enhancement.
And for these Plane Lords, who had already cultivated to the ninth heavenly stage of Dao Integration and were among the top powers in the nearly ten thousand regions near the Void Black Market.
It seemed to make sense. If they could further extend their lifespan by a few hundred years.
Although the chances were slim, perhaps in that extra time, they could truly break through to Tribulation Transcendence.
The powerful Plane Lords in the various VIP boxes were already moved.
But before they could speak,
A voice from the general auction seats rang out again.
Upon hearing this voice, the expressions of many people present, including Zhu Si, changed completely.
"I bid twenty-three million spirit stones."
No way, it's you again.
Who else could this be but the second innate spirit puppet.
But this time, in those gazes, there was not surprise, but a hint of doubt.
They looked at the second innate spirit puppet. The aura and cultivation realm of the second innate spirit puppet were only at the third heavenly stage of Dao Integration.
The few million spirit stones that the second innate spirit puppet had bid on before, although a bit much, were understandable.
After all, those who could attend an auction naturally had their own capital.
Did they not see that out of the nearly ten thousand regions near the Void Black Market, with countless small worlds, less than a thousand guests had come?
However, this time, the second innate spirit puppet's bid was twenty-three million spirit stones.
Paired with his cultivation at only the third heavenly stage of Dao Integration, it was indeed easy to raise suspicions.
"Is this person here to cause trouble? Causing trouble at the Azure Auction House, and if he can't pay the spirit stones later, it's unlikely he'll be able to escape death easily."
"A few million spirit stones, I could believe that. I've heard stories of less powerful fellow Daoists becoming unexpectedly wealthy before, but tens of millions of spirit stones..."
At this point, the speaker did not continue. Clearly, he did not believe such exaggerated financial strength.
Zhu Si's gaze was also fixed on the second innate spirit puppet. However, as a special auctioneer of the Azure Auction House, he would naturally not turn hostile without understanding the situation.
Moreover, the fact that the second innate spirit puppet had previously helped him auction off that "Burning Secret Technique" and prevented it from being unsaleable had earned him some goodwill.
"Esteemed guest, bidding in an auction requires careful consideration. If you win the bid and cannot produce the spirit stones, our Azure Auction House will investigate. If you are merely speaking without basis, I can make the decision and consider that you did not make this bid."
Upon hearing this, the second innate spirit puppet did not get angry. A slight smile appeared on his face.
He gently raised his hand, and a spatial ring appeared in his hand.
With a flick of his finger, the spatial ring flew directly towards Zhu Si.
Seeing this, Zhu Si's eyes narrowed slightly before relaxing. He raised his palm and caught it.
His divine sense probed the spatial ring. Upon seeing the quantity of spirit stones within the spatial ring.
Even Zhu Si's gaze couldn't help but shrink slightly.
Fortunately, Zhu Si had seen bigger scenes.
The spirit stones in the spatial ring only caused him a slight bit of surprise.
Regaining his composure, Zhu Si cupped his hands towards the second innate spirit puppet.
Then, with a flick of his finger, the spatial ring in his hand returned to the second innate spirit puppet.
"Esteemed guests, there is no need to doubt. This guest is indeed qualified to bid."
"Twenty-three million spirit stones, once."
