Long Yunzi and his wife were ancient celestial gods, so Qin Han Chu could not confront them head-on in the early Qin and Han dynasties.
To fight against ancient celestial gods, he needed to find a new opponent.
The most important matter now was for the Divine Land Great World to complete its transformation.
Qin Han Chu was already well-practiced in attracting the hatred of celestial gods.
The most direct method was, of course, to attend an auction.
Attending an auction not only allowed him to purchase resources but also to "entrap" opponents, killing two birds with one stone.
To achieve his goal, Qin Han Chu had to select a suitable auction.
If it were merely ordinary resources, not many celestial gods would harbor animosity towards Qin Han Chu.
It was imperative to have incredibly precious resources to attract a large number of celestial gods to hunt him.
After a long search, Qin Han Chu finally found a very opportune moment.
Ten years later, Tian Ji City would host a grand auction.
In addition to top-tier celestial treasures, this auction would also feature an immortal medicine called "Enlightenment Tea."
Legend had it that Enlightenment Tea could allow a martial artist to enter a profound state of enlightenment, in which state it was highly possible for their own laws to break through constraints and reach a new realm.
Besides Enlightenment Tea, three ancient divine abilities would also be auctioned at this event.
As long as Qin Han Chu acquired these items, many celestial gods would surely come to ambush him afterwards.
Although Qin Han Chu was setting a trap, the deaths of these individuals would be due to their own greed.
To participate in this auction, Qin Han Chu arrived at Tian Ji City well in advance.
As one of the largest main cities in the Huang Ji Main Realm, Tian Ji City was extremely prosperous.
This city alone was home to hundreds of millions of martial artists.
Walking on the street, he saw a patrol unit composed of Celestial Venerable martial artists marching past in neat formation.
Qin Han Chu glanced at them and then entered an inn.
Upon entering the inn, a hint of surprise flashed in Qin Han Chu's eyes.
At the inn's counter, he saw a familiar person.
This person was the mysterious woman Qin Han Chu had met at the Divine Thunder Treasure Pavilion.
She had asked Qin Han Chu to contact her after reaching the Celestial God realm, saying she would lead him to a great fortune.
Sensing someone staring at her, the woman's gaze fell upon Qin Han Chu.
She frowned slightly, then walked up to Qin Han Chu: "Why are you looking at me like that, fellow daoist? Do we know each other?"
Qin Han Chu transformed his appearance back to how it was before: "Does this face look familiar?"
"It's you, I didn't expect to meet you here." The woman looked slightly surprised.
"I didn't expect us to be so fated to meet in the Huang Ji Main Realm either," Qin Han Chu said calmly.
The woman smiled gently: "Are you here for the auction again?"
Qin Han Chu nodded: "The Enlightenment Tea is good, I want to buy it."
"Oh, is that so? That would be great." The woman's smile grew wider.
Seeing the woman's expression, Qin Han Chu guessed: "Could it be that you are selling the Enlightenment Tea?"
The woman did not hide it and nodded: "Precisely, this is the great fortune I mentioned."
"It seems I might have missed an opportunity," Qin Han Chu sighed. "I'm curious, how could you bear to sell such a treasure? Do you have more?"
"Enlightenment Tea can only be consumed once, these are the rest of mine."
"I have other great fortunes, do you want to go together?"
The woman invited Qin Han Chu again.
Qin Han Chu asked with a puzzled expression: "Can you reveal a little about it?"
"Do you know of the Ancient Secret Realm?"
"Ancient Secret Realm?" Qin Han Chu shook his head: "Never heard of it!"
"Ancient Secret Realms are independent worlds born alongside the universe. Many ancient immortal medicines and celestial treasures are hidden within them."
"It's even possible to find celestial treasures related to laws like soul and time within them."
"I was quite lucky, and by chance, I discovered such an Ancient Secret Realm."
"The Enlightenment Tea was something I found in this Ancient Secret Realm."
The woman explained to Qin Han Chu.
"What dangers are there in the Ancient Secret Realm?"
Qin Han Chu had not expected such a miraculous place to exist.
He should be able to find cultivation materials for the Soul Severing Blade in this Ancient Secret Realm.
Just as the woman had said, great fortune naturally comes with great peril.
This Ancient Secret Realm was definitely not a place where one could enter and leave as they pleased.
"Ancient pure-blooded beings, they are the natives of the Ancient Secret Realm!"
"If you want to seize the resources of the Ancient Secret Realm, you have to make enemies of them."
"To seize this Enlightenment Tea, over twenty of us went in, but only four escaped."
The woman sighed heavily.
Despite the dangers of the Ancient Secret Realm, the resources within it made her willing to take the risk again.
Qin Han Chu possessed the Void Law, and he believed his survivability was quite strong.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Han Chu nodded: "Alright, I'm willing to take a risk with you."
"Give me your sound transmission jade slip, and I'll contact you once I've assembled the team."
"By the way, my name is Meng Qi, what is yours?"
Qin Han Chu replied: "You can call me Bai Li Han Su!"
"Are your Beast Gods still there?" Meng Qi asked.
"They are."
"Hurry up and enhance your strength, otherwise, even with these Beast Gods helping you, it will be a suicide mission."
After giving his sound transmission jade slip to Meng Qi, Qin Han Chu checked into the inn.
Ten years later, the auction was held as scheduled.
The vast auction hall was filled with celestial gods who had traveled from all over.
After the usual opening remarks, the auction officially began.
The initial items up for auction were not the main draw, so Qin Han Chu had little interest.
After more than an hour, items that piqued Qin Han Chu's interest finally appeared.
It was an ancient divine ability called "True and False Illusion Realm"!
A Xiang was proficient in the laws of truth and falsehood, and this divine ability could enhance her strength.
By cultivating the ancient divine ability, she might be able to further refine her own divine abilities.
In just a short while, the price of this ancient divine ability rose from eight hundred thousand law crystals to two million five hundred thousand law crystals.
As many people were participating in the bidding, the price continued to rise.
It was only at three million two hundred thousand law crystals that the price stopped increasing rapidly.
"Three million three hundred thousand law crystals!"
The bidder had deep blue skin and ears that resembled those of an elf.
Even so, no one felt surprised.
In the myriad worlds, the human race was divided into many races, so this was no longer a strange sight.
As the leader of a sect, this person was very powerful in both wealth and strength, hence his demeanor exuded intense arrogance.
Upon hearing this price, most people had already given up.
Seeing this, Qin Han Chu spoke: "Three million five hundred thousand!"
This price immediately attracted many gazes.
The blue-skinned powerhouse glared at Qin Han Chu: "Three million six hundred thousand!"
Qin Han Chu replied without hesitation: "Four million!"
"You..."
Hearing this price, the blue-skinned powerhouse was both angry and shocked.
Although this item was an ancient divine ability, four million was an excessively high price.
