Immortal Starry Sky
Chapter 486 - 468 Selection
CHAPTER 486: CHAPTER 468 SELECTION
The red thunder array resealed the cage.
This war, due to Wang Xu’s slaughter, chose to end prematurely.
Wang Xu put down the Thunder God Universe Light Saber, the bloodthirsty look in his eyes gradually fading.
"To stop killing with killing... indeed, this is the most effective method."
Wang Xu’s goal was achieved.
From the very beginning, he was intent on stopping this war!
Slaughter, bloodshed, instilling fear in everyone, this was his means to end the war. Only by showcasing enough power could he make these Celestial Gods afraid, not daring to defy his Will!
Hwa!
Suddenly, the whole world darkened abruptly, a beam of light breaking through the clouds descended, enveloping Wang Xu.
Wang Xu looked up to the sky, where he saw a field of white light, but as a shadow gradually emerged, a human figure with an indistinct face slowly descended towards Wang Xu.
"Greetings to the White-clothed Saint Envoy!"
All the Watchers gathered, kneeled on one knee, and exclaimed respectfully in unison.
There was excitement in their eyes and a slight tremor in their voices, demonstrating what an honor it was for them to behold the White-clothed Saint Envoy.
White-clothed Saint Envoy?
The light dispersed, revealing a person in a black robe before Wang Xu, with golden edges on the robe, and not a trace of white?
"What is your name?"
The White-clothed Saint Envoy spoke, his voice resounding like a bell, deafeningly loud.
"Wang Xu."
Wang Xu replied.
Although this White-clothed Saint Envoy did not deliberately reveal his Primordial Power aura, and even concealed the Life Level suppression, Wang Xu’s keen sense could perceive that this person’s Realm was exceptional, possibly surpassing the Celestial God Realm, reaching the Saint Venerable Dominator!
"With the end of this war, your performance was commendable, deserving of a reward."
The White-clothed Saint Envoy said, "Moreover, since you have killed the Watcher, you can leave here forever, and may even replace his position."
"I can never become a Watcher."
Wang Xu said firmly.
"Whether you become a Watcher or not is up to you, now come with me, meet the notable figures."
After speaking, the White-clothed Saint Envoy turned and flew towards the clouds from whence he came.
Meet the notable figures?
Wang Xu sneered inwardly at these cold-blooded individuals who take pleasure in war, feeling no fondness for them.
But no matter what, he must at least leave here first.
Wang Xu quickly followed the White-clothed Saint Envoy, heading toward the clouds.
Their figures were engulfed in the light projected by the clouds, which then resealed, restoring the world to its original brightness.
"Wang Xu has left..."
The scene in the sky was observed by Han Kui and the others.
"His power has reached a level we cannot fathom; even the Watcher was easily slain by him... Such a powerful existence will undoubtedly become a hegemon in the future!"
Han Kui gazed at the distant merging clouds and said.
"To encounter such a person, it’s worth it even if it leads to death."
The white-robed youth laughed.
...
As he stepped into the clouds, Wang Xu’s vision suddenly shifted.
The originally azure sky and white clouds vanished instantly, leaving only an endless blackness, like the boundless cosmos.
The White-clothed Saint Envoy waved his hand, cringing, the surrounding space shattered, unveiling a grand golden palace before Wang Xu.
But this was not enough to astound Wang Xu. What truly shocked him was the presence of over ten thousand beings emitting light. Even though they had restrained their aura and Life Suppression, Wang Xu’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.
Saint Venerables!
Everyone here was a Saint Venerable!
"Greetings to the White-clothed Saint Envoy!"
Tens of thousands of Saint Venerables shouted in unison.
Cold sweat appeared on Wang Xu’s forehead.
He felt as if the void was about to collapse, making it difficult for him to breathe.
However, very soon, all this pressure disappeared suddenly.
When Wang Xu looked again at the Saint Venerables, he found them gazing eagerly at him, like a treasure, their eyes brimming with fiery passion.
"It’s him!"
At this moment, the Nine Cloud Saint Venerable also gazed at Wang Xu with fiery eyes.
But he was different from other Saint Venerables.
The others wanted Wang Xu, hoping to make him their direct disciple and create brilliance.
In contrast, the Nine Cloud Saint Venerable wanted to learn from Wang Xu about Qing Sibai, eager to know his former close friend’s current whereabouts!
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is the most outstanding talent of this selection, named Wang Xu, in the Elite Initial Celestial God Realm, as for his true strength... everyone has witnessed it, now, you may offer your bids."
The white-clothed Saint Envoy spoke with a smile.
"Our Red Copper Divine Sect is willing to submit to the Tu Guo Dynasty for twenty thousand Law Eras, and offer tribute of a thousand Chaos Secret Medicines for each Law Era!"
"Our Crushing Soul Divine Sect is willing to submit to the Tu Guo Dynasty for fifty thousand Law Eras, offering two thousand Chaos Secret Medicines per Law Era, and will first present all Chaos Secret Scriptures within our Divine Sect, all just to exchange for this person!"
"Our Lone Star Divine Sect is willing to pay the price of a hundred thousand Law Eras and hand over a partial Foot Collection to exchange for this individual!"
"..."
In an instant, offers were made by all the Saint Venerable figures. Each proposed price was incredibly enormous, indicating their understanding of the value of this monstrous talent.
Tu Guo Divine Dynasty?
Wang Xu’s thoughts spun rapidly. He had already realized that the powerful force behind capturing him from the Xunfeng Divine Continent and using him as labor was precisely this Tu Guo Divine Dynasty as mentioned by these Saint Venerable figures.
At the same time, he felt a chill of astonishment towards the "Tu Guo Divine Dynasty."
It must be known that each of the Saint Venerable figures here is extraordinary. The further ahead they are, the more formidable their strength. Just the aura emitting from their primordial power was enough to obliterate Wang Xu.
This terrifying strength completely overshadowed his master, the Imperial Extreme Divine Master!
Yet, as powerful as they are, the price they offered was "submission"!
Indeed, they used submission to the Tu Guo Divine Dynasty as the price, counting by ten-thousand-year increments, even offering thousands of Chaos Secret Medicines for each Law Era... They used these conditions to compete for him from the Tu Guo Divine Dynasty!
From this, one can see how powerful the "Tu Guo Divine Dynasty" truly is. Wang Xu had already sensed a glimpse of it.
As the bidding climbed higher and higher, the smile on the white-clothed Saint Envoy’s face grew ever brighter.
"Is there any higher?"
The white-clothed Saint Envoy asked.
The current offer had reached three million Law Eras, with each Law Era offering over ten thousand Chaos Secret Medicines.
Three million Law Eras is not considered a very long time span for a Billion Era Celestial God, but for these Saint Venerable figures, it is an excruciatingly long torment.
Every Saint Venerable was once a genius, having endured countless trials to achieve what they have today, establishing Divine Sects and standing at the pinnacle of chaos.
Yet now they have to submit to someone, moreover for three million Law Eras, a period that stands as an indelible black memory for these Saint Venerables!
But they were willing to take the risk to capture Wang Xu, this monstrous genius.
What does it matter to submit for three million Law Eras? What does it matter to tribute tens of thousands of Chaos Secret Medicines?
As long as they can obtain this future superpower, their Divine Sect can inevitably grow, eventually standing at the pinnacle of chaos, perhaps even rivaling the Tu Guo Divine Dynasty!
Naturally, even the Four Elements Saint Venerable, Five Elements Saint Venerable, and others who rarely made moves also entered the fray. However, they offered very little time for submission, in exchange for many Chaos Secret Medicines, Supreme Treasures, and the like.
For a moment, the competition was intense.
"Nine Cloud, I’m afraid this individual will soon become the disciple of other powerhouses."
The Measuring Heaven Saint Venerable exclaimed helplessly.
So many powerhouses were competing, including the Four, Five Elements Saint Venerables, with such generous conditions that they had no room to counter.
"No matter, I only need to know from him the whereabouts of Qing Sibai."
Nine Cloud Saint Venerable said.
He had never hoped for Wang Xu to become his disciple.
This level of competition was already beyond his reach.
His greatest thought now was merely to find out whether Qing Sibai was alive or dead.
Thinking of this, Nine Cloud Saint Venerable’s heart was deeply worried.
...
The grand hall buzzed with noise, the bidding continued to rise unstoppably, and the white-clothed Saint Envoy leisurely recounted Wang Xu’s recent performances, continuously magnifying Wang Xu’s future achievements, making various Saint Venerable figures drool even more.
Wang Xu watched coldly at this scene, silent.
Being traded like a commodity; it would be hard for anyone to remain calm in such a situation, and Wang Xu’s eyes already flashed with killing intent.
First, the Tu Guo Divine Dynasty unceremoniously captured him from the Xunfeng Divine Continent and imprisoned him in a cage, driving him as cheap labor.
Then they let them slaughter each other, for these big shots to watch, selecting valuable talents to exchange for their time of submission and tribute...
All benefits fell to the Tu Guo Divine Dynasty, while he was turned into a commodity, a mere product, never once considered a true living being!
At this moment, a Billion Era Celestial God traversed the void to the white-clothed Saint Envoy’s side, respectfully saluting, then transmitted a message quietly that nobody else could hear.
The white-clothed Saint Envoy’s expression changed slightly.
"Stand down," the white-clothed Saint Envoy waved away this Billion Era Celestial God.
Wang Xu took a deep breath inwardly.
To become a Divine Gate Elder in the Red Sun Divine Continent, a Billion Era Celestial God— second to none under thousands, and yet, in this Tu Guo Divine Dynasty, he was just a small errand person!
Wang Xu felt more and more the sheer dominance of the Tu Guo Divine Dynasty, and sensed the chaos in his eyes becoming more unfamiliar.
"Everyone, very sorry."
The white-clothed Saint Envoy spoke, interrupting all the Saint Venerable figures’ contention, smiling as he said, "A message has just come from above, and this talented person might not be eligible for selection this time."
"What?! White-clothed Saint Envoy, your Tu Guo Divine Dynasty is being too capricious!"
"We’ve already quoted such generous prices, and you’re still not satisfied?"
All Saint Venerable figures, upon hearing this, immediately had gloomy expressions.
"Haha... Everyone, my most sincere apologies, this decision was mine; if you must vent your anger on someone, then do it on me!"
A hearty laugh rippled out from the void, followed by a figure emerging, his entire body surrounded by resplendent golden light, carrying an incomparably domineering aura!
