The Infinite Mystery

Chapter 334 The Map To Ancient Immortal's Ruin

The armor was finally bought by the person who made the bid for it first.

After that, the auction continued.

Three hours later, the auction finally reached the final phase.

At this time, four cultivators walked out of the curtain behind the platform, carefully escorting a wooden chest. On top of the wooden chest were a dozen or so runes. They were densely packed, as if there was something extremely valuable inside.

"Many people might not know the origin of an Immortal World called Ancient Star Immortal World that is far away in the south direction of our Profound Star World." The auctioneer suddenly revealed a mysterious smile and kept them in suspense.

Many people present were getting impatient. Some people also shouted, "We are here to buy things. Are you here to tell us more about history? Moreover, who would want to hear about a world that has nothing to do with us!"

The others also revealed mocking smiles. This auctioneer was simply bringing up whatever he wanted.

The auctioneer was not surprised by the reactions of the others. He saw everyone's expressions and slowly said, "The Ancient Star Immortal World once produced an Ancient Immortal!"

What?

Everyone quieted down at this moment.

The entire auction hall was so silent that one could hear a drop of water.

Ancient Immortal!

The Immortal Cultivation Realms are divided into three realms. They are the Worldly Immortal Realm, Heavenly Immortal Realm, and Ancient Immortal Realm.

Ancient Immortals are the strongest among all Immortals.

However, not many worlds have produced Ancient Immortals. There are hundreds of thousands of Immortal Worlds. In ration, only one among ten Immortal Worlds have Ancient Immortals. As for the rest of the nine worlds, Heavenly Immortals are the strongest in those worlds.

The current Profound Star World's ranking is at the bottom. The strongest in the current Profound Star World is not even a Mid-Stage Worldly Immortal.

Of course, Qin Feng's existence is an exception. He is not known to the world right now.

Coming back to the point, almost every Ancient Immortal was a great figure standing on the clouds. Those who could become Ancient Immortals were no ordinary people.

If there is a world that produced Ancient Immortal, then this world would be protected by many Immortal Worlds.

And right now, the auctioneer was talking about such an Immortal World.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Where is that Immortal World? Could that treasure in your hand be related to that Immortal World?"

"What is that treasure anyway?"

The surrounding people started to discuss amongst themselves. Even some of the people who wanted to stay out of it threw their gazes over.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the entire auction hall had been stirred up, the auctioneer revealed a satisfied smile.

The auctioneer slowly opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, don't be anxious. Let me finish first. The Ancient Star Immortal World has only produced one Ancient Immortal a hundred thousand years ago, but that Ancient Immortal has been missing for many years now. If he was still there, then the Ancient Star Immortal World would have been ranked among top Immortal Worlds."

Everyone was listening carefully, but some people were impatient and anxious.

Someone said impatiently, "Don't keep us in suspense. Hurry up and say it."

The auctioneer smiled. "What we are going to auction next is the location of that Ancient Immortal's cultivation ground!"

"Rumor has it that this powerful Ancient Immortal left behind a ruin before he disappeared. The ruin is located on Ancient Star Immortal World, and the map of the ruin was divided into three parts and was kept by his three disciples."

"Unfortunately, one of the disciples was killed as soon as that Ancient Immortal disappeared, and the other two disciples were killed as well just after a few years as well. And those three parts of the map were spread out."

The auctioneer made a face behind him, and the attendant behind him opened the treasure chest in front of him.

When the chest was opened, an ancient map appeared.

However, on this map, there was a formation protecting it, making it so that the people outside could not see what was drawn on the map.

"This is the map of the remains of that Ancient Immortal. The starting bid is ten thousand Immortal Stones." The auctioneer shouted.

Someone frowned and said, "I can't see the map clearly, how can I know if it's real or fake?"

"Sorry, because the treasure is special, I can't let you appraise it. However, everything depends on your choice. Our auction has no intention of forcing you to bid. Everything is voluntary."

This kind of map, if it was seen by others, some people might directly remember the pattern on the map. At that time, the entire map would lose its meaning.

Many people were still in a state of observation, not ready to make a decision immediately.

The relations between many Immortal Worlds and Profound Star World have already been set up. People of Profound Star World can now go to other Immortal Worlds through some channels easily. So, it is not that surprising that the map of a ruin that is located in another world is being auctioned here.

In a private room, seeing the map fragment being displayed, Cao Ping's expression immediately changed.

Elder Guo, who was standing at the side, said in surprise, "Young Master, this is it. Master has already gathered the other two maps. As long as we collect this map, we will be able to obtain the location of the ruin of that Ancient Immortal!"

Ancient Immortal's inheritance!

As long as they release a bit of news, it will attract a lot of force.

Their Myriad Sword Sect had also been doing it in muffled voices all these years and had already collected these maps.

According to their intel, these maps would appear in the auction house.

Thus, the Myriad Sword Sect pretended to let Cao Ping marry Li Huixin. But their true intention was to obtain this map and silently go back to Scarlet Thunder Sect.

In this way, they could take the map away, but it would not attract much attention. People will only think that Cao Ping was participating in the auction house and coincidently, this map appeared. Seeing that the fragment of the map actually contains the location of Ancient Immortal's ruin, Cao Ping bought the map.

Cao Ping's purpose for coming here was for this map.

As for marrying Li Huixin, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Even now, the Myriad Sword Sect was an existence that could crush the Scarlet Thunder Sect. Not to mention that if they obtained Ancient Immortal's inheritance, the Scarlet Thunder Sect would be even more incomparable to the Myriad Sword Sect.

Speaking of which, Cao Ping simply didn't care about Li Huixin at all.

"Young master, don't be anxious. Let's wait a moment." Elder Guo reminded.

Cao Ping impatiently waved his hand, "I understand."

In the auction house, as time passed, there were already people starting to bid.

Although the price was expensive, it might involve the inheritance of an Ancient Immortal, which was no small matter.

"Thirty thousand Immortal Stones. My time limit has come. I have to find some other means to break through." An old man with white hair said in a deep voice.

"Forty thousand Immortal Stones!"

"Fifty thousand Immortal Stones!"

Without any pause, the surrounding people also began to bid.

One of the cultivators dressed like a merchant laughed: "This thing can be sold for a change. If someone managed to gather the other two maps, then they would definitely need this map fragment. When the time comes, I'll start selling it on the spot, I'll definitely make a profit."

When the others heard this, they could not help but be enlightened and they began to add more pieces to the map.

"Bang!"

Cao Ping's expression immediately became gloomy when he heard this and smashed the glass in his hand on the ground: "Who is this person, he is courting death!"

He originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to this map and secretly buy it. But now, after hearing the merchant's words, the others immediately knew where the business opportunity was, and they all started to increase the price.

If he, Cao Ping, wanted to obtain this map, he would have to pay a huge price.

Elder Guo raised his eyebrows, turned around, and gave a few orders to a person. A moment later, that person walked up and reported the situation to Elder Guo.

"It was entrusted by the auction house. Looks like the Zheng Family wants to sell this fragment of the map at a very high price. They don't want to get themselves into trouble, and they don't want to lose money either. Therefore, they plan to sell it at a higher price in this auction by attracting everyone's attention." Elder Guo said in a deep voice.
