Chapter 439 Immortal Sword and Clouds!
Chapter 439 Immortal Sword and Clouds!
Then, Ao Ni Chang continued:
"However, even so, this immortal sword should not be underestimated."
"Although it is no longer in its prime, the essence of swordsmanship that has been refined by time and tempered by war still remains."
"If the one who obtains this immortal sword is a sword cultivator, he can calmly comprehend the profound and mysterious sword intent within it."
"From then on, he made rapid progress on the path of swordsmanship, advancing by leaps and bounds every day."
"Of course, this sword can also be nurtured anew, using one's own essence, energy, and spirit as a guide, merging with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth..."
"Let it gradually regain its former vitality and strength, thereby enhancing its attack power, making it even more formidable in battle!"
"For other Daoist cultivators, this immortal sword is also an invaluable treasure."
"It can be used as a weapon for self-defense, and at critical moments, it can be like a hidden trump card, delivering a fatal blow to the enemy unexpectedly!"
"Catching the enemy off guard and instantly turning the tide of battle..."
......

In an instant.
The scene was as if a sudden storm had swept through, instantly creating a raging torrent.
Ao Ni Chang's words were like a bombshell, exploding in the hearts of all the cultivators.
The previously quiet atmosphere was completely shattered.
The cultivators were slightly taken aback at first.
Immediately afterwards, the suppressed gasps and discussions surged out like a flood bursting its banks.
Some cultivators stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief, and shouted at the top of their lungs:
"This news is absolutely astonishing!"
Some huddled together, whispering and excitedly discussing the various possibilities in hushed tones.
"It's a celestial sword? Even in its damaged state, it far surpasses any imperial weapon; its value is immeasurable..."
Some cultivators were so excited that their hands trembled, and they paced back and forth, muttering to themselves, as if they were also processing this sudden and shocking information.
Throughout the venue, heated discussions rose and fell, never ceasing.
Soon, the scene became like a pot of boiling water, completely boiling over.
The shouts of bidding rose and fell like a surging tide, one wave after another, making one's eardrums ache.
This time, there was no need for Ao Ni Chang to work hard to create an atmosphere.
The price soared like a runaway horse, reaching a high of 100,000 top-grade Xuanjing almost in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, there is no sign that the upward trend in prices is slowing down.
It continues to climb with an unstoppable and incredibly fierce momentum.
It seemed to have no end, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Ao Ni Chang and the old tortoise Xuan Cang's faces, which had been as dark as clouds, changed.
Finally, the long-awaited sunshine arrived, sweeping away the previous gloom.
Warm smiles bloomed on their faces, and their eyes sparkled with joy and satisfaction.
Just at this time.
Inside a quiet private room on the second floor.
The moment Li Qingyuan's gaze fell upon this object, she froze as if she had been frozen in place.
His eyes widened instantly, filled with astonishment and disbelief.
That look in his eyes was as if he had seen the most incredible and strange sight in the world.
He stared at him intently, without even blinking.
The soul seemed to be deeply attracted by what was before it.
His body stood there like a statue for a long time, without moving an inch.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
In that instant, time seemed to be gently stirred by an invisible hand.
Li Qingyuan's thoughts were instantly pulled back to her distant past life.
Those long-buried memories surged forth, and scene after scene flashed through his mind.
......

This immortal sword is named "Qixia"!
It was a peerless divine weapon that Li Qingyuan had carefully nurtured since childhood in his previous life.
The sword's blade was shimmering with a dreamlike, enchanting glow, with seven vibrant colors intertwining and reflecting each other, dazzling and captivating.
They represent the seven natural elements of heaven and earth: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder.
This sword is like his closest friend from a past life!
She accompanied him through countless trials and tribulations, and through countless thrilling battles.
From his early days as a greenhorn to his later renowned and awe-inspiring figure...
It never abandoned him, fighting alongside him until the very last moment of its life, staying close by his side.
They had long since transcended the boundaries between man and sword, reaching the supreme realm of harmony between heaven and man, their souls having become one.
He never expected that he would encounter this sword again here today.
He originally thought that with the demise of his previous life, this sword would also be seized and destroyed by those wicked old monsters.
They vanished into the vastness of heaven and earth, never to exist again.
However, fate is always full of unexpected twists and surprises.
Looking back on his past life, he was obsessed with the Way of Wind and never ventured into the Way of the Five Elements.
His mind was completely focused on cultivating this path to its highest level, without any other distractions; he was utterly single-minded and extremely concentrated.
It is precisely because of this dedication and focus on the Way of the Wind.
That's how he was able to surpass a group of old monsters who had cultivated for many years at such a young age, gaining widespread fame and becoming a genius in everyone's eyes.
Even so, faced with the overwhelming horde of enemies, he was ultimately outnumbered and met a tragic end, dying a violent death.
Now, he has returned after rebuilding.
Knowing full well that in order to gain a foothold in this world where the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon, one must integrate various methods and learn from the strengths of all.
If only I could hold this "Qixia Immortal Sword" in my hands again;
Furthermore, this is combined with the mysterious Four Symbols Technique obtained within the Qiankun Palace.
The two complement each other.
It will surely unleash terrifying, world-destroying power.
May he overcome all obstacles on his path of cultivation, advance further, and rebuild his glory.
......

At this moment.
The private rooms on each of the three floors were like powder kegs that had been ignited, instantly exploding into chaos.
The tranquil atmosphere was completely shattered.
The top powers and ancient families, like hungry beasts that have smelled blood, had a greedy and burning light in their eyes.
They were completely engulfed in a frenzied bidding war!
Inside the private room of the Xuandao Sect, Kan Chen's face was flushed, and veins bulged on his forehead. He slammed his fist on the table and roared in a booming voice:
"Three hundred thousand top-grade Xuan Crystals! This Immortal Sword is something my Xuandao Sect is determined to obtain!"
The voice seemed to carry boundless majesty, reverberating through the air.
In the Chu family's private room, Chu Huai-ren's eyes were sharp as knives. His hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles white, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Three hundred and fifty thousand! My Chu family will never allow such a precious treasure to fall into the hands of others!"
His words revealed an unquestionable determination.
In the private room of Wanfo Temple, Master Ziyang, though his face was calm, could not hide his excitement.
He clasped his hands together, his palms trembling slightly, and said loudly:
"Amitabha! Four hundred thousand top-grade Xuan Crystals!"
"This immortal sword is destined for Buddhism; it should be placed in my Wanfo Temple to protect the Buddhist community!"
The voice carried an ethereal yet solemn power.
Other forces were not to be outdone, and they all used every means at their disposal to continuously raise the price.
In an instant, the shouts of bidding echoed throughout the private rooms on the third floor, rising one after another like surging waves.
The intense scene was so intense it seemed like it was going to blow the ceiling off the auction house!
......
------
Prices have skyrocketed.
Soon, they broke through the barrier of 200,000 top-grade Xuan Crystals.
And the upward momentum has not stopped at all.
It continues to climb with an unstoppable momentum.
Seeing this, Li Qingyuan frowned deeply, pondering to himself:
The price of this immortal sword will likely far exceed what they can currently afford.
But then he thought again, after all, he still had many rare items that he had acquired through fighting, killing, and robbing the rich to help the poor...
Each of those items is quite valuable; they should be worth a considerable amount of money...
Not to mention that Su Yaoyue and the others are with us; they will definitely do their best to help, and we should be able to scrape together some more...
Su Yaoyue and the others also keenly sensed that Li Qingyuan's emotions were out of control for the first time.
The intense light flashing in his eyes almost devoured the immortal sword!
They all assumed that Li Qingyuan coveted the immortal sword and genuinely wanted to possess it, so they secretly began to communicate and raise funds.
