Chapter 1739 - Chapter 1739 Chapter 755 The Harmony of Three The Beginning

Chapter 1739: Chapter 755: The Harmony of Three, The Beginning of the Auction Chapter 1739: Chapter 755: The Harmony of Three, The Beginning of the Auction Han Yi came to the Heavenly Destiny Dao Domain because the Taiyuan Divine Blade had responded to the presence of his true body; guided by this sensation, he traversed the Tao Domain channels and finally arrived on the Heavenly Destiny Continent.

Having learned that the true body of the Taiyuan Divine Blade was inside the Yutian Tao Palace, with his level of cultivation, entering it would mean certain death. After hesitating for a moment, he changed direction and headed to Water Control Dao City.

His thought was simple: since he couldn’t immediately obtain the Taiyuan Divine Blade, he might as well linger in the vicinity for a while and look for an opportunity.

This opportunity might be exceedingly slim, perhaps even nonexistent.

But for him to simply turn back to the Fu Heng Taoist Area without trying was something he couldn’t bear.

After arriving at the Water Control Dojo, his thoughts shifted once more, which was that having come all this way, he could not return empty-handed. So, he planned to exchange unnecessary treasures at the Yutian Pavilion and buy High-level Taoist Tools, as well as inquire about the sale conditions of Origin Crystals.

After all, a powerful commercial pavilion like the Water Control Pavilion is a rare sight within the Nine Great Dao Domains.

Upon Han Yi’s inquiry, Su Yin Taoist produced a token emitting a soft glow, no wider than two fingers. She handed the token to Han Yi, saying,

“This serves as an admission token for the auction. Please hold onto it, Taiyi.”

“The Water Control Pavilion holds auctions every ten years. The location of the auction is behind the Water Control Pavilion, and each auction lasts for three days.”

“The next auction will be in three years.”

“At the auction, treasures of all levels will appear, including items essential for those at the Unity Realm Stage like the Origin Crystals. However, they are exceedingly pricey, so please prepare accordingly.”

Han Yi took the token, checked it with his Tao Thought, and found no issues. He then stored it in his Divine Aperture World and, further inspired by what Su Yin had said, asked,

“At the auction, could there be Heavenly Reverence Ancient Artifacts put up for sale?”

He originally had no intention of asking this, but it seemed that Su Yin might know more than the previous Wang-surnamed shopkeeper, and there was no harm in asking.

Su Yin shook her head, “You jest, Daoist. Truly Heavenly Reverence Ancient Artifacts can only be controlled by a Heavenly Sovereign, so naturally they wouldn’t come up for auction.”

“However, there have been a few auctions where fallen Heavenly Reverence Ancient Artifacts did appear. Despite their demoted level, they are still far stronger than peak high-level Taoist Tools. To say they are Half-step Ancient Artifacts is not an exaggeration, but such treasures are not paid for with Tao Crystals but with Origin Crystals instead.”

Han Yi felt a surge of intrigue within.

He was aware of the preciousness of Heavenly Reverence Ancient Artifacts, but to measure their value in Origin Crystals was something he had never encountered before.

After all, though his combat power had increased rapidly and his strength was immense, he was somewhat lacking in other experiences outside of combat; it was normal for him to be less informed.

“If you return to the Yutian Pavilion next time, you may directly ask to see me,” Su Yin instructed before Han Yi’s departure.

Han Yi bowed and immediately walked out of the compartment, descending the stairs to leave the Yutian Pavilion.

After his departure, Su Yin thought about Han Yi’s mannerisms and actions. If judged as being from the Daoist Fruit Realm, they would not fit, but if considered from the Harmonization Realm, everything made sense.

“I wonder whence this Taiyi Daoist hails?”

“What’s the use? On the Heavenly Destiny Continent, or even amidst the Chaos, there are many powerful beings. There’s no need to be too concerned about his origins.”

“As for these treasures…”

Su Yin’s eyes landed on a Jade Box in her hand, peering through to see the more than ten thousand treasures within, a chilly feeling arose in her heart as she recalled the category of Tao Swords Han Yi had selected.

Then, as if aware of something, her gaze shifted beyond the Yutian Pavilion, catching sight of Han Yi’s figure and several other figures who had emerged a few breaths after him. Her eyes flickered.

“This Daoist is no benign character.”

…

On another note.

After leaving the Yutian Pavilion, Han Yi did not head out of the city but rather strolled around within. He planned to rent a Cave Mansion for temporary cultivation and to sit tight until the auction opened in three years’ time.

But moments later, his gaze sharpened as he realized that a passing Cultivator had left a mark on him.

This mark was quite concealed; had his cultivation in the Infinite Realm not reached a high-level, granting him a sensitivity far beyond that of the Outer Path and matching the Harmonized Realm’s tier, he might not have noticed it.

The mark was not directly on his person but entangled within several layers of space, then using special Tao Skills, it was engraved upon his Tao Robe.

“Interesting. I’ve not been in Water Control Dao City long, having only visited the Yutian Pavilion, and I am already under surveillance.”

“There’s only one possibility, and that’s my activity within the Yutian Pavilion has drawn attention.”

“Was it Su Yin Taoist, the Wang-surnamed shopkeeper, or other shopkeepers, or perhaps it was one of the other Cultivators on the same floor?”

“But whoever is watching me, it can’t be a Heavenly Sovereign.”

“Since it’s not a Heavenly Sovereign, then…”

Han Yi chuckled coldly within.

If a Heavenly Sovereign were watching him, he likely wouldn’t have been able to detect it, and the wealth he revealed at the Yutian Pavilion was not enough to attract a Sovereign’s attention.
