Chapter 350: Entering the Realm (1/2)
Ten Thousand Lightning Bamboo could only appear in an environment where there was constant lightning for ten thousand years or more.
This bamboo had been immersed in lightning and thunder for ten thousand years. It was truly a marvelous treasure that was immensely hard to come by. If the people present knew, that Xue Wei had filled a whole storage treasure with these bamboo shoots, their eyes would be filled with greed and murder.
In fact, all the treasures that were deemed very rare, and everyone wanted during the auction had all been provided by him. If someone were to say that all these treasures came from the same person, then the crowd would not be able to believe it.
It was simply too unbelievable!
The auctioneer and the Golden Chambers Auction house was aware of where all these treasures came from, but although they were tempted to act on their own to seize even more wealth for themselves, they dared not.
They had contacted their higher-ups, even went above the man who was managing their continent, but the only answer they had gotten was, ”Don't cause problems for this young master, he has an outstanding backing.”
As a member of the Golden Chambers, they understood precisely how frightening their own background was, and anyone with their heads screwed on correctly would never cause problems in their auction houses. When had they ever needed to consider other's background when doing things?
Since they had had been heavily warned from the upper echelons of Golden Chamber's auction house to look well after Xue Wei, they would naturally do so, but they were very puzzled.
Even Xue Wei was unaware of why the two elusive leaders of the Golden Chambers would go this far for him.
Had he known, then he would have been much more apprehensive about trying to establish a connection with them.
If these people had some sort of interest in him, then it was likely not a good thing. He had seen many things throughout his short life, and he knew that great samaritans did not exist, especially not amongst such influential figures.
If they were friendly towards him, he likely held some sort of value to them.
It could not be his bloodline, as he now understood that although Sovereign Beasts were rare, they were not unique in this world.
Then it meant that it was he himself who had something that others needed.
Bbut knowing himself, he knew that the only special thing about him was his half-bred status, which was a strictly guarded secret.
Unfortunately, Xue Wei was unaware of the order that had been passed down throughout the entire world's Golden Chambers headquarters.
The order that he was the most important VIP amongst VIPs.
The auction finished with Xue Wei having bought a lot of materials in large quantities, but also gained a whole mountain of essence stones.
When he went backstage for the sake of getting the things, he was given a black command token.
”This token is the highest graded command token,” the manager said humbly while looking at Xue Wei with shining eyes.
”You need to drop a single drop of blood onto it, and then it will belong to only you for the rest of your life. It can be used in any Golden Chamber Auction House across the entire world.”
Hearing the manager so readily admit that all Golden Chamber's Auction Houses were connected, Xue Wei felt a bit deflated, but he quickly accepted the token and dropped a bit of blood onto it.
The blood drop was sucked into the command token, vanishing without a trace, and the token was as smooth and clean as it had been before, but Xue Wei could feel a connection to it now, that had not been there before.
After saying his thanks, he went back to the palace. Here he concocted a lot of new pills while Bai Tianyi was busy creating inscriptions.
Like this, the time went by like flowing water, one day took another, and soon the days had passed, and it was time to enter the Ascended's Realm.
In the morning, a eunuch which usually followed the Emperor came to fetch them. He was immensely respectful towards Xue Wei and his comrades.
As they followed the eunuch, they soon reached the martial arts field. Here all the princes and geniuses had gathered together, waiting for the entrance to the Ascended's Realm to open.
As soon as Xue Wei had arrived, another eunuch called out, ”The Emperor has arrived!”
Everyone stood up and bowed towards the Emperor, who dismissively waved his hand.
”Rise,” he said, and the people straightened their backs.
”I have a few pieces of information to share with you all before you enter the Ascended's Realm.”
The Emperor's gaze landed on all of them one after another.
”First of all, all of you will be arriving at the same location when you enter the Ascended's Realm. I hope that you can all travel together, as you will, without a doubt, encounter other teams from other forces.
”If a contradiction appears, then work it out peacefully, you need support from one another to survive this trial!
”I am appointing Xue Wei, the leader of the team; all of you are to follow his lead!
