Chapter 1725: Black Ocean

finally let out a breath, his face full of complexity: "I didn't expect the human race situation to be so dire. According to Shen Zhen Shou, the humans in this world among all heavens might very well...Now, no one knows how many more Shenjun talismans will be auctioned. With three talismans appearing at once this time, it naturally drives these cultivators to frenzy.

In addition, the talismans at the front were all overpriced. Many cultivators had mentally prepared themselves for this.

Therefore.

Prices have naturally soared.

Not long after.

The price of the three talismans has broken through four hundred top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones. If calculated individually, it would already be a 30% premium.

>

We've reached this point.

Even Shangguan Xinghe hesitated a little.

Although he made it clear, as the calamity escalated, the price of such talismans would also rise.

But the problem is.

A 30% premium is a bit high.

Moreover.

A good number of freelance cultivators participated in the auction this time. Some even went so far as to pay exorbitant prices for the divine talisman, which is ultimately detrimental to the Shangguan clan's interests.

Therefore.

This is a good start. Please provide me with the text you want me to translate and I will be happy to help!

He hesitated for a moment.

>

Shangguan Xinghe also wanted to take a look first before speaking.

Anyway, so far the Shangguan Family has also obtained a dozen or so Shenjun Talisman Scripts, which is not a wasted trip.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Finally.

Three talismans, at the price of four hundred and fifty pieces of top-grade Yin Spirit Stones, were sold to a casual cultivator.

50% markup.

This caused many cultivators to be secretly shocked.

After the shock.

... is even more insane.

Still the same words, divine talismans are priceless. Nowadays, no one knows how many more divine talismans will be put on sale later.

Therefore.

Subsequent auctions consistently saw significant bidding wars, pushing the price of the complete set of talismans above four hundred and fifty high-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones.

Not long after.

The auction of the ten-wheel drive has ended.

Under the expectant gazes of numerous cultivators, he directly took out ten ordinary quality tier 3 lower grade master talismans in one breath.

“This is ten ordinary-quality, third-rank inferior Master Thunderclap Talismans. The starting price is five hundred high-grade Nether Spirit Stones, and each bid increase must not be less than five Nether Spirit Stones!”

As soon as those words were spoken.

All the cultivators were greatly shocked.

Ten talismans!

The Red Ridge Chamber of Commerce has gone crazy!

Five hundred Nether Spirit Stones as the starting price, scattered cultivators simply can't afford it.

This is totally not worth it.

However.

All of Duan Jing's actions were carried out according to Shen Changqing's instructions.

In Shen Changqing's view, there are not many loose cultivators who are eligible to participate in the auction now, after all, one hundred pieces of top-grade Nether Spirit Stones are astronomical figures for many cultivators.

Moreover, with the current high prices, it has already deterred many cultivators from participating.

In other words.

Those cultivators qualified to participate in the auction had already succeeded in previous auctions. Only those major forces from ancient desolate lands remained eligible to continue vying for the treasures.

Selling these talismans one by one not only wastes time, but also allows other forces to react. The subsequent bidding may not be as high as the initial ones.

>

Therefore.

Shen Changqing simply threw a bombshell, directly auctioning off ten talismans at once.

As expected.

As ten talismans appeared, all the factions couldn't sit still.

How many Divine Monarch talismans does the Hongling Commerce Guild actually have in their possession!

Shangguan Xinghe's expression fluctuated, and there was still shock in his eyes.

He calculated.

Over the past few dozen times that Shenjun talismans have been auctioned, there have already been dozens of them sold.

Even so, the other party didn't stop. Instead, they auctioned off ten talismans at once, which left Shangguan Xinghe a little unsure how to proceed.

>

But.

No matter what, the Shangguan family must get their hands on these ten talismans.

Ten divine lightning talismans.

If used properly, slaying a Divine Lord would be as easy as the blink of an eye.

On the other side.

Other forces also stood their ground.

After all, ten Thunder Talismans are of far greater importance to them than a single one. If they could take all ten and use them all at once, it might even be possible to bring down an opponent of the same rank.

>

This is not a joke.

Fellow cultivators clashing, victory or defeat lies in the blink of an eye.

Every bit of external influence, whether added or removed, can affect the entire battlefield.

“One thousand five hundred top-grade Nether Spirit Stones!”

When he uttered this price, Bei Jue's heart was trembling. One thousand five hundred top-grade Nether Spirit Stones, even he, as a god king, would feel pain in his flesh if he took them out.

Although the spirit stones at hand are from the ancient desolate holy land, Bei Jue still felt a pang of pain when setting the price.

Then.

Bei Jue silently comforted himself again.

"It doesn't matter, these Nether Spirit Stones are only temporarily in the hands of the Red Ridge Ancestor. When the time comes, I will get them back with interest!"

Thus comforting himself, Bei Jue's heart felt much better.

In his view.

Shen Changqing took out so many talismans to auction off, he was completely insane.

After all, in the current situation, talismans of this level are life-saving items. To take them out to exchange for Netherworld Spirit Stones would be utterly foolish.

This is a placeholder for text.

"A lone cultivator is just a lone cultivator, his mindset is so narrow, he doesn't understand how to avoid danger and seize opportunities, sooner or later he will meet his demise!"

Bei Jue secretly sneered.

This content is translated to English:

The auction continues.

From ordinary quality, third-rank inferior master talismans, to the later fine quality and perfect quality, then there are the third-rank middle grade master talismans.

These things.

Shen Changqing didn't hold back anything, he flung everything out.

The result of a large number of talismans appearing was that the subsequent auctions had significantly lower price premiums compared to the earlier ones.

This is also very normal.

Even powerful families with vast resources couldn't bring all their wealth with them. Since the Netherworld Spirit Stones were almost depleted, they lacked competitiveness.

But no matter what you say.

The subsequent auction also had a premium of at least 20 to 30 percent.

An auction ended.

Shen Changqing roughly estimated that, conservatively speaking, he could earn at least 50,000 top-grade Nether Spirit Stones.

“If it were sold at the normal market price, at most 30,000 top-grade Yinhe spirit stones would be possible. But now, with a significant premium, it’s actually much higher than the normal market price.”

"With these Ghostly Spirit Stones in hand, my breakthrough to the Great Power Realm would be easier!"

This is the result.

Shen Changqing was quite satisfied.

The talismans of the divine master were useless to him. It would be better to take them out and exchange them for Netherworld Spirit Stones than to leave them in his hand to get moldy.

After all, Nether Spirit Stones can temper the soul and greatly benefit one's cultivation.

Auction ended.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Many cultivators left Hongling Fangshi without any delay.

Together they left.

...and there are forces like the ancient desolate holy land as well.

On the other side.

All the Nether Spirit Stones obtained from this auction were handed over to Shen Changqing.

Looking at the Nether Spirit Stone in his hand, Shen Changqing nodded slightly.

>

"The auction went well this time. We'll continue to increase our efforts in acquiring pelts and blood from God-ranked Netherbeasts afterward. Also, keep a close eye on the situation in Ancient Wilderness."

"In the event of any occurrence, inform this seat immediately."

>

"I obey your orders!"

...A sudden break in the scenery, focusing on Zheng's head.

Then.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing waved his hand and let the other party leave.

When the scene of parting was over, Shen Changqing also closed his quarters for the first time to refine the Nether Spirit Stone he had obtained.

Having experience refining Yin-Yang Spirit Stones from before.

Shen Changqing's refining this time was also extremely rapid.

In a few days.

Fifty thousand Nether Spirit Stones are completely consumed.

The massive consumption of Nether Spirit Stones allowed Shen Changqing's soul to grow significantly once again. Moreover, the aura of the Netherworld permeated his soul, enabling him to comprehend the Netherworld Dao more easily.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

You know.

The rules of the underworld are different from those of heaven.

As a celestial being, Shen Changqing wanted to comprehend the power of rules within the Netherworld, but he couldn't compare to the native beings of that realm.

In the end.

In the eyes of the Netherworld rules, Shen Changqing belongs to outsiders.

But things are different now.

The refinement of a large number of Nether Spirit Stones caused Shen Changqing's soul to be tainted with the aura of the Netherworld. This aura, in turn, caused some previous barriers to vanish without a trace.

Great Dao insights.

>

Shen Changqing's vision rose constantly, and in an instant, he was lost in the vast expanse above. The blood-red sun hanging high in the sky had become incredibly dazzling.

At last.

Boom—

Shen Changqing felt as if his soul had broken through some kind of barrier and entered another level.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The vast river stretches across the void, surging like a furious ocean, with swirling grey divine light that exudes an awe-inspiring and terrifying aura.

"Rule the river!"

Shen Changqing understood this clearly in his heart.

This is where the river of rules for the underworld flows.

The rules of heaven and earth exist on the same level.

What is different, however.

Above the river of celestial rules, divine path rules transform into towering trees of gods, suppressing all. Yet, in the river of underworld rules, one sees no dominance of the divine path rules.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

From here, it can be seen that the Netherworld is not a situation where Shinto alone dominates, but rather a convergence of myriad paths, with numerous ancient tradition systems all shining brilliantly.

But—

Although the Rule Tree doesn't exist, above the Netherworld Rule River, there is a thick black light permeating the air. It carries an eerie and sinister aura that completely opposes the power of the Netherworld Rules.

Only the black light and the river of rules were like two vast oceans, one black and one gray, clashing against each other.

If one were to look closely, one would find that the gray expanse is gradually being eroded by the black expanse. What was originally pure gray is slowly taking on a faint tint of black.

And as time passed, this black layer became even more prominent.

In due time.

The gray ocean will be completely devoured by black.

Shen Changqing looked at the black expanse, that pure and ultimate darkness power, like the origin of all darkness, he felt not unfamiliar at all.

"This is the power of the Dark Forbidden One!"

The black ocean represents the Dark Forbidden Master, and the gray ocean represents the Netherworld Rules.

Just from the black expanse before his eyes, Shen Changqing could feel that immeasurable and majestic power. His current strength, facing such a vast ocean, was as insignificant as an ant.

Dark Forbidden Lord!

Shen Changqing was always wary of its ability to disrupt the underworld from beginning to end.

>Just from this power alone, the Dark Lord is stronger than many Divine Lords. The only thing that's unclear is whether he's stronger or weaker than the Five Emperors of the Ancient Human Race.

Now, the power of the Dark Forbidden Master is slowly eroding the rules of the underworld. Once the rules of the underworld are completely eroded, the most terrifying consequence will be that the Dark Forbidden Master becomes the true ruler of the underworld.

At that time.

The opponent's strength will only become even more terrifying.
