Chapter 1302: Chapter 1301: Thunderbolt Beads

Eithan Arellano confirmed the plan of casting a bait to lure the fish, and immediately put it into action. Merely three days later, a message spread through the Heavenly Realm -- Appraisal Pavilion was going to hold an auction event, in which they would auction some supreme treasures.

For instance, the ’Heavenly Pearl’, the foremost of the four great wonders of the Heavenly Realm, some ancient Dao instruments, and also, the Sky Repairing Stone!

Yes, the Sky Repairing Stone was on the list as well, a total of five pieces.

Of course, starting now, the Appraisal Pavilion is also purchasing rare treasures at high prices; if you have any, you can bring them for the auction, and they will simply take a commission.

The moment the news from Appraisal Pavilion was released, the Heavenly Realm buzzed with excitement, with some finding the auction list and after reviewing it, became even more eager.

There are a total of over a thousand rare treasures for auction, each one could be considered a treasure of the world. It could be said that this is the grandest auction event in hundreds of millions of years.

As for the time of the auction event, it wasn’t finally confirmed, because the Heavenly Continent is quite large and some people from all corners are too far away. For instance, it would take people from the northwestern Border State several years to reach the Appraisal Pavilion in the central region. There are even those who would need decades to arrive, thus the time is to be announced.

The fact that the time was to be announced meant that if you were interested in the treasures on the list, then you better start your journey quickly and set off for the Appraisal Pavilion in the central region right now.

Of course, Yusuf Zuck was unaware of this at the moment, since Gael Berger had yet to learn of it, so he was still getting to know the Heavenly Realm, understanding the Berger Clan and The Eight Great Families, and also attempting to cultivate the Grand Circulation method of the Berger family.

The Appraisal Pavilion is a very mysterious organization in the Heavenly Realm, it does not belong to any of The Eight Great Families, but there are claims that the Appraisal Pavilion has connections with The Eight Great Families, with every family having a share in it.

Others say that the Appraisal Pavilion was actually founded by a grassroots individual who could stand on equal footing with the Clan Leaders of The Eight Great Families.

However, Appraisal Pavilion is big and wealthy, with branches in all the major cities.

Of course, the Appraisal Pavilion is not the largest commercial firm in the Heavenly Realm. The biggest and most secretive commercial firm is called ’Tianxin Residence’, which not only deals with auctions but also engages in Spirit Stone exchange business, contract killing services, purchasing of rare treasures, selling Magic Treasures, and so on.

And indeed, Tianxin Residence is not owned by any of The Eight Great Families, because the owner of Tianxin Residence is a known individual, not hidden at all.

The owner of Tianxin Residence is called ’Thunderbolt Beads’, and some call him ’Lightning Visitor’. This person is the one who stands on equal grounds with the Clan Leaders of The Eight Great Families!

The Eight Great Families have controlled the Heavenly Realm for countless millions of years. Within these countless millions of years, not only have powerful masters emerged from The Eight Great Families, but also peerless geniuses have risen from the masses. These exceptional talents have naturally joined the ranks of those with supreme cultivation levels over time. Therefore, among the common people, there are formidable masters, some with clans, some with sects, and many more alone!

These individuals are known as the civilian force, a terrifying power not to be underestimated.

Of course, they also have no intention of challenging the authority of The Eight Great Families; after all, The Eight Great Families appear to always have infighting and bloodshed on the surface, but when it comes to life and death, The Eight Great Families will still stand together.

Only when The Eight Great Families are united as one can they not be replaced by the civilian power.

And at this very moment, the reputed owner of Tianxin Residence is on the same boat as Yusuf Zuck!

That’s right, the legendary Thunderbolt Beads, being the largest owner, naturally doesn’t need to manage any affairs and has a penchant for often venturing alone into the polar region for adventures and treasure hunting, which is one of his biggest hobbies.

Coincidentally or not, Gael Berger’s room is right next to the room of Thunderbolt Beads.

Thunderbolt Beads is an old man with white hair, wearing a large straw hat, dressed in a very old, even patched grey robe, with cloth shoes on his feet, and a string of large prayer beads around his wrist. Although his attire is unimpressive, he possesses a vibrant spirit, and with his concealed aura, no one can discern his cultivation level.

He is rich, incredibly rich, and possesses a private divine ship, but he always likes to be amidst the crowd because he dislikes solitude!

There’s also a rumor that he has no children, no wife, no family at all—a true loner with not even a disciple to serve him tea or water.

Countless people have wished to become his apprentices, with some even kneeling outside his home for hundreds or thousands of years, but he accepted none.

The origin of Thunderbolt Beads is also shrouded in mystery; no one knows whether he is an original resident of the Heavenly Realm or ascended from the Lower Realm. Even The Eight Great Families are clueless.

His fame stems from having offended the Arellano Family, one of The Eight Great Families. It’s said that over an extraordinary treasure, he fiercely beat up a Superior Divine Emperor from the Arellano Family. Then, in outrage and shock, the Arellano Family sent a God Sovereign Level expert to find him and settle scores.

But even the God Sovereign Level expert ended up being brutally beaten by him.

He didn’t kill them; he just beat them as if they were children.

In the end, the Clan Leader of the Arellano Family stepped in and exchanged ten moves with him, ending in a draw!

The Clan Leader of the Arellano Family is a Superior Divine Master. If Thunderbolt Beads were able to spar with a Superior Divine Master for ten moves, how terrifying must he be? Hence, his Cultivation Level must also be of the God Sovereign Level.

Because of this battle, Thunderbolt Beads solidified his status; no one dared to disrespect him any longer.

Although the Heavenly Realm has its most powerful ruler, the ruler is truly the stuff of legend, and whether they are alive or present is in question. Therefore, at least in the current Heavenly Realm, Superior Divine Masters are the strongest.

Thunderbolt Beads was the first on the divine ship to receive news of the Appraisal Pavilion’s auction. His domain, nearly identical in business to the Appraisal Pavilion, made them natural competitors. That’s why when the Appraisal Pavilion makes a move, the higher-ups at his domain always report their activities to him.

Even aboard the divine ship, one is able to receive messages through a Jade Simple Transmission Book.

Thunderbolt Beads glanced over the list of auction items and then chuckled with interest, "Five Heavenly Patching Stones? Ha, do you think Sky Repairing Stones are as common as clods of earth? Do you, Appraisal Pavilion, even possess them? However, I am somewhat interested in the Heavenly Pearl!"

The Heavenly Pearl mentioned by Thunderbolt Beads is none other than the foremost of the four great rarities of the Heavenly Realm.

The Heavenly Pearl is not a Magic Treasure, nor is it made of jade or gold, but a miraculous Heavenly Dao rarity. Its birth is particularly fantastical.

You see, a long time ago, the Divine Peach Tree bore nine flowers, among which eight were white and one was black. When that black flower bore fruit, it turned not into a Divine Peach but into a clear and transparent bead, rounded like a pearl and resembling glass.

That’s right, the Divine Peach Tree, which should have yielded nine peaches, instead produced a bead—that bead was the Heavenly Pearl.

Additionally, among the four great Heavenly Realm rarities, the ’Fruit of Destiny’ has also sprouted a Heavenly Pearl, and even Celestial Beasts have given birth to Heavenly Pearls, among various other origins.

It can be said that the Heavenly Pearl does not adhere to any rules of appearance; almost any object might give birth to it.

And it is known as the foremost of the four greatest treasures precisely because of the rarity of the Heavenly Pearl, which can resurrect the dead, increase Cultivation Level, and transform physiques, among other astonishing effects.

Rumor has it that those who have their physiques transformed by the Heavenly Pearl become Divine Masters!

Therefore, the Heavenly Pearl is immensely valuable; with every appearance, countless seekers vie for its possession!
