CHAPTER 1204: CHAPTER 1143: WHERE DID THIS YOUNG MAN COME FROM?

The grand auction hall was in an uproar.

No one expected that even when the Cosmic Emperor from the Immortal Divine Palace, Emperor Ye himself, made an offer, this young man dared to raise the bid.

Could he really dare to compete with a Cosmic Emperor?

Competing with the Young Palace Master of the Immortal Divine Palace, competing with the Cosmic Emperor of the Immortal Divine Palace.

Is this young man intending to completely offend the Immortal Divine Palace?

The grand auction hall was filled with countless people who stared in shock at Ye Chen.

They were completely unprepared for the audacity of this young man before them, who did not even regard the Immortal Divine Palace.

"Could it be that this person comes from the Cosmic Sea? Is he a descendant of some great power in the Cosmic Sea?"

"But, why would a descendant of a great power from the Cosmic Sea come to this barren Sea of Exile?"

Countless people were bewildered.

In the crowd.

Tianli Weiwei looked at Ye Chen with growing interest.

Originally, Tianli Weiwei was somewhat curious about Ye Chen’s background, and now, seeing Ye Chen facing the Cosmic Emperor of the Immortal Divine Palace without the slightest hint of fear, her curiosity deepened.

Obviously, Ye Chen was not afraid of the Immortal Divine Palace, nor of the Cosmic Emperor of the Immortal Divine Palace.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t completely offend the Immortal Divine Palace for the Nine Spirits Secret Order.

"Who on earth is he?"

"Why is he so determined to seize the Nine Spirits Secret Order? If he were a descendant of a big figure from the Cosmic Sea, he could likely obtain the Nine Spirits Secret Order from elsewhere, so why compete in the Sea of Exile?"

"Or does he have another reason for fighting over the Nine Spirits Secret Order?"

Tianli Weiwei pondered as she looked at Ye Chen.

She wanted to see whether this young man, who seemed about her age, could still outbid the Cosmic Emperor in the end.

What everyone didn’t know was.

Before Ye Chen and the Cosmic Emperor from the Immortal Divine Palace engaged in a bidding war, Ye Chen had already privately communicated with Gu Feng, the host of the grand auction.

When Ye Chen informed Gu Feng that he had several Treasures to exchange for auction currency, Gu Feng was utterly astonished and assured Ye Chen that he should just concentrate on winning.

The items Ye Chen mentioned were none other than the Cosmic Emperor-level Treasures from the Refining God Chart.

The Refining God Chart was left by a peak Cosmic Emperor; even a few casually left items were undoubtedly extraordinary.

Even though Gu Feng was a Cosmic Emperor, he was only a First Star Tribulation Cosmic Emperor.

Faced with Treasures left by a peak Cosmic Emperor, he was extraordinarily astonished.

Gu Feng had long been speculating about Ye Chen’s origins.

His fortune-seeking Divine Skills made him extremely attentive to Ye Chen.

Even if he had to offend the Immortal Divine Palace, he would rather not offend Ye Chen.

Upon seeing Ye Chen casually produce Cosmic Emperor-level Treasures, which were remarkable just by their descriptions, Gu Feng became more convinced that a colossal figure supported Ye Chen.

That figure might even be stronger than the Palace Master of the Immortal Divine Palace.

It’s very likely that he is a great Star Lord!

Otherwise, Ye Chen wouldn’t face the Immortal Divine Palace with such calmness.

After all, the Palace Master of the Immortal Divine Palace is also a peak Cosmic Emperor.

Otherwise, his fortune-seeking Divine Skills wouldn’t incline him more towards Ye Chen in front of both the Immortal Divine Palace and Ye Chen.

Star Lord.

At the thought of this possibility, Gu Feng felt a tremor in his mind and spirit.

If a Star Lord truly stood behind Ye Chen, he would do everything to assist Ye Chen, no matter what.

"One trillion and three hundred billion?"

At this moment, upon hearing Ye Chen’s bid, Emperor Ye of the Immortal Divine Palace wore an extremely grim expression.

Originally, as a Cosmic Emperor, stepping up to contend with a mere Sovereign for a Treasure was already demeaning.

Now, this Sovereign dared to outbid him, a direct affront.

"Do you even have one trillion and three hundred billion?"

"Young man, don’t make baseless bids; if you can’t follow through, it’ll be a joke."

Emperor Ye looked at Ye Chen and coldly remarked.

"Indeed."

"Could he be bidding recklessly?"

"He’s only at the Sovereign Realm; could he have assets worth a trillion?"

Upon hearing Emperor Ye’s words, many Divine Masters and Masters in the audience were stirred, casting skeptical glances at Ye Chen.

Amidst the widespread speculation.

Gu Feng on the auction stage directly stated, "There’s no need for doubts, Brother Ye. Before this young brother bid, I had already verified his capability to bid."

"For the current price, there is no issue; he can afford it."

Buzz.

With Gu Feng’s words resonating through the hall, the room instantly became even noisier.

Gu Feng had personally confirmed that this young man had assets over a trillion?

This young man, his worth has reached such a level!

No one doubted Gu Feng’s words at all.

After all, Gu Feng represented the Ancient Peace Pavilion, and there couldn’t be any issues here; otherwise, it would harm the Ancient Peace Pavilion’s reputation.

If the transaction couldn’t be completed in the end, it would become a laughingstock across the Sea of Exile.

"This young man may seem like just a Sovereign, but the force behind him is likely no weaker than the Immortal Divine Palace."

"Certainly, otherwise, he wouldn’t contend with the Immortal Divine Palace for the Treasure."

With Gu Feng’s confirmation, for a moment, the majority of people held Ye Chen in even higher regard, and many already viewed Ye Chen as a mysterious figure from one of the top powers of the Cosmic Sea.

At this moment, however, Emperor Ye was extremely embarrassed.

He didn’t expect that his doubts would be personally refuted by Gu Feng.

"What is the origin of this youth that Gu Feng would speak for him, even at the risk of offending my Immortal Divine Palace?"

At this moment, Emperor Ye couldn’t help but wonder about Ye Chen’s background.

However.

He was already involved in the auction, asking him to withdraw would tarnish his, and also the Immortal Divine Palace’s, reputation.

"No matter what his origin is, even if he is a descendant of a major power in the Cosmic Sea, in this auction, he still has to account for his wealth."

"I don’t believe a Sovereign would have a fortune that could surpass mine, a Cosmic Emperor!"

With this in mind, Emperor Ye made another bid.

"Eleven trillion."

Ye Chen without hesitation: "Twelve trillion."

"Thirteen trillion." Emperor Ye was already gritting his teeth.

"Fifteen trillion."

Ye Chen didn’t want to entangle too much with this Emperor Ye; after all, this was just about a few Cosmic Emperor treasures. To him, it was less important than the Nine Spirits Secret Order. Ye Chen directly raised the price by another two trillion.

Seeing the price climb to fifteen trillion, the whole auction hall was boiling.

No one expected that the final treasure would reach such a price level.

At this moment, Emperor Ye also felt his limbs growing weak.

Emperor Ye’s fortune indeed exceeded fifteen trillion. Taking out twenty trillion was indeed possible for him.

However, he was doing this to vent for the Young Palace Master, even though the Young Palace Master had already stated that the Immortal Divine Palace would fully reimburse him for the bid he made after calling out the price.

But, at this moment, the price also reached Emperor Ye’s limit.

After all, he couldn’t possibly auction this item at the expense of all his ace treasures to exchange for currency from Ancient Peace Pavilion!

"At most seventeen trillion."

Emperor Ye transmitted via sound to Situ Lianchi.

Situ Lianchi did not expect the situation to develop to this extent.

Seeing many people looking at him like watching a joke, Situ Lianchi’s face turned red.

But looking again at Ye Chen, whose limit seemed nowhere near, Situ Lianchi felt a sense of powerlessness.

Situ Lianchi had a premonition that he might really lose to this young man of unknown origin before him.

"Seventeen trillion."

Accompanied by Emperor Ye’s final increase, Ye Chen directly shouted: "Eighteen trillion."

This time, Emperor Ye finally couldn’t increase the bid anymore.

Emperor Ye glared at Ye Chen and said, "The Nine Spirits Secret Order, no matter how precious, is truly not worth this price."

"Fine, if you really want it, then it’s yours."

Emperor Ye withdrew from the bidding.

Boom!

With Emperor Ye of the Cosmic Emperor withdrawing from the bidding, the Nine Spirits Secret Order finally had a new owner.

That was Ye Chen!

Instantly, the auction hall was full of discussions.

Even though they had imagined that this young man in front of them could surpass the Cosmic Emperor, the reality of this occurrence truly surprised all the participants of the auction.

As for Emperor Ye’s last face-saving words, everyone had completely ignored them.

In an auction, strength speaks.

A loss is a loss.

If he truly felt it wasn’t worth it, he wouldn’t have continued to bid for so long.

"Young friend, please come up to finalize the transaction."

With the ownership of the first of the three Peerless Divine Treasures settled, Gu Feng directly smiled and spoke to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, satisfied, smiled and with a flash, flew to the central auction platform surrounded by countless seats.

This swift movement clearly exceeded the Sovereign Realm level, once again startling countless people in the venue.

And Ye Chen, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, took out two items of Cosmic Emperor-level treasures and handed them to Gu Feng.

These two treasures were carefully chosen by Ye Chen; they were treasures that the Cosmic Emperor in the Refining God Chart had never exposed before, ensuring no information leakage. The transaction was indeed without issue.

Ye Chen casually handed over the treasures, but Gu Feng and Emperor Ye looking at these two Cosmic Emperor-level treasures showed their eyes glowing with Divine Light.

Evidently, the two saw the absolute extraordinariness of these treasures.

"This young man, surprisingly really has Cosmic Emperor-level treasures on him!" Emperor Ye was totally incredulous.

Even for the descendants of major forces at the peak of the Cosmic Sea, they had basically never heard of any Sovereign carrying Cosmic Emperor-level treasures!

After all, any Sovereign basically cannot control treasures on the Cosmic Emperor level!

Under countless astonished gazes, Ye Chen completed the transaction and took the ancient-colored box containing the Nine Spirits Secret Order into his hands.

Shielding the surroundings, he opened the box and took out the Nine Spirits Secret Order.

This was a palm-sized bronze-colored token carved with mysterious patterns.

This item was the token issued by the Nine Spirits Divine Hall, the first major hegemon in the Cosmic Sea South Pole Region.

Looking at this Nine Spirits Secret Order, thinking that with it, he had the opportunity to enter the Nine Spirits Divine Hall’s Nine Spirits Divine Tower, ranked among the top ten of the Cosmic Sea’s ultimate Treasure Lands, Ye Chen clenched his fist tightly.

He had crossed the dimension from the Primal Beginning Universe to this Sea of Exile, and now he could finally return to the Primal Beginning Universe!

Wait nine months, then this opportunity will come!

"Solve the issue of the Nine Bends Demon Realm, then explore the most mysterious Abyss of the Sea of Exile, and finally, go to the Nine Spirits Divine Hall in the Cosmic Sea South Pole Region."

"Ultimately, return to the Primal Beginning Universe."

Ye Chen planned in his mind.

While Ye Chen pondered, on the auction platform, Gu Feng also officially started the bidding for the second of the three Peerless Divine Treasures.
