The one talking was a young man, first-layered heaven Divine Lord.
But behind him followed a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord old man.
To be able to make a fourth-layered heaven Divine Lord be an attendant, clearly, this young man’s identity was extraordinary.
Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed. Really, wherever one went, there were posturing fools.
You enter your auction, I enter my auction, what did I hinder you in?
That young man handed over the invitation and said to the guard at the door, “Your Heavenly Network Gathering is too careless. Why would you let just anyone in? An Origin Deity Realm, what can he do if he goes in?”
Even though Ye Yuan’s void spirit divine pills caused a sensation throughout the whole city, those who had truly met him before were also just those few people.
This guard clearly did not recognize Ye Yuan.
The guard swept a glance at the invitation and hurriedly bowed and said, “Turns out that it’s Melody Sun Imperial City’s Young Patriarch Jing Lu. Pardon me, pardon me. Replying Young Patriarch Jing Lu, as long as one has the Heavenly Network Gathering’s invitation card, they can enter the auction. There’s no restriction in terms of realm.”
The guard’s words made everyone incomparably surprised.
“That’s Melody Sun Imperial City’s Young Patriarch Jing Lu? I heard that he’s a peerless genius. When he was born, he was already initial-stage Origin Deity Realm, and he broke through to first-layered heaven Divine Lord Realm at a mere 500 years old!”
“I also heard before. It’s said that him breaking through to Celestial Deity Realm in the future is virtually a certainty.”
Someone said softly, “But heard that this Young Patriarch Jing Lu is also notoriously overbearing, frequently taking advantage of his influence to bully people.”
…
Clearly, Jing Lu’s reputation spread far and wide. Many people had heard of him before.
When Jing Lu heard the surrounding sighs of admiration, he was incomparably pleased with himself in his heart. He enjoyed these envious looks very much.
“You all wouldn’t be bored until you issued an invitation card to an Origin Deity Realm, right? Kid, do you have an invitation card or not?” Jing Lu asked Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan was tickled by this guy and said with a smile, “Invitation card? I really don’t have one.”
Jing Lu’s face fell and he said domineeringly, “Don’t have an invitation card, why haven’t you scrammed yet? Do you want this young master to send you rolling?”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “How to roll? You roll one time for me to see[1]?”
Jing Lu saw that Ye Yuan thought nothing of him and his expression could not help turning dark as he said in a cold voice, “Reckless and blind thing, a mere Origin Deity Realm dares to talk this way to this young master! Alright, this young master will let you know how to roll!”
Around them, quite a few people felt that Ye Yuan was very unwise.
Strength was clearly lacking, yet his attitude was still so unyielding. This was not having a backbone, this was being tired of living.
Done talking, Jing Lu released his aura, a foot kicked toward Ye Yuan’s chest.
Behind Jing Lu, that old man’s aura locked onto Ning Tianping firmly.
As long as Ning Tianping had a hint of reckless action, he would take action.
But what surprised him was that Ning Tianping did not have the intention of moving at all. Instead, his face revealed a hint of a mocking smile.
This foot carried world power, how could ordinary Origin Deity Realm powerhouses be a match?
The people seemed to have already seen the scene of Ye Yuan being kicked to death.
However, just as that foot was about to kick until Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan’s body seemingly teleported half a position.
Bang!
A heavy punch struck Jing Lu’s face!
This punch was caught off-guard, Jing Lu directly flew out backward, rolled several hundred feet on the ground before stopping.
This sudden turn of events was too sudden, everyone all did not react.
“What did I see? An Origin Deity Realm sent a Divine Lord Realm flying with one punch?”
“No, wait! My eyes must be failing me! This is impossible!”
“Isn’t it said that Jing Lu is a genius hard to come by in 100 thousand years? Why is he so weak?”
“What that kid used just now seemed to be … spatial laws! My God, spatial laws!”
…
This scene was already familiar to Ning Tianping. But to others, they were shocked to the core.
An Origin Deity Realm actually sent a Divine Lord Realm flying with one punch. This was too subverting.
“It turns out that this is how you roll! The posture is really unsightly. I’m not going to roll then.” Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Jing Lu scrambled to his feet. The facial features on his face all shifted, his nose aching until tears kept flowing, his appearance extremely miserable.
He roared at the old man, “Uncle Huang, kill him for me! I want him dead!”
That old man’s gaze turned sharp and he said in a cold voice, “Young man, you’re courting death!”
Ye Yuan ignored him, fished out the supreme token, and gave it to the guard. He said, “I don’t have an invitation card, I only have this. Can I go in?”
That guard’s gaze turned intent and he said in great alarm, “Supreme token! Y-Your Excellency, this lowly one had eyes but couldn’t see. I have offended Your Excellency, s-sorry!”
The supreme token was the highest-level invitation letter for the auction this time, the ones invited were all big shots.
With his status, he could not afford to offend at all.
Seeing this token, his heart could not help palpitating heavily.
Uncle Huang was just about to fly off the handle when that guard suddenly said coldly, “Halt! This lord is one of my Riverluck Capital City’s most honorable guests! If you dare to attack him, it’s becoming enemies with our three major factions!”
Uncle Huang and Jing Lu somewhat doubted whether their ears heard wrongly or not.
A measly Origin Deity Realm was actually Riverluck Capital City’s most distinguished guest?
Jing Lu said in a solemn voice, “You dare to speak to me this way?”
But that guard did not yield in the slightest as he said, “Apologies. Young Patriarch Jing Lu is naturally our important guest, but the higher-ups instructed that if anyone sees a guest holding a supreme token, we must receive them with the highest standards! If you dare to attack this lord, then I can only say sorry!”
Not just Jing Lu, even the others also looked at Ye Yuan with incomparable shock.
They completely could not understand, how did a measly Origin Deity Realm become the most distinguished guest?
“Humph! A mere second-layered heaven Divine Lord, what can you do to me? Uncle Huang, what are you still waiting for? Attack!”
The guard was merely second-layered heaven Divine Lord cultivation. Jing Lu did not take him seriously at all, directly ordering Uncle Huang to attack.
But Uncle Huang hesitated.
Before he came, Head Elder explained solemnly before, to make sure never to come into conflict with the three major forces.
Riverluck Capital City was merely a capital city. If they did not have a certain background, how could they possibly stand tall?
One had to know, there were three imperial cities around Riverluck Capital City. Among them included Melody Sun Imperial City.
But these three imperial cities had very weak control toward Riverluck Capital City.
One could say that Riverluck Capital City was an independent kingdom.
Uncle Huang was not a silkpants like Jing Lu, so he was deeply aware of the seriousness involved.
Killing an Origin Deity Realm was easy, but they already said the words very clearly.
Ye Yuan was the most honorable guest!
One
had to know, even with their status, they did not get the supreme token.
The importance of this token could be seen at a glance.
Uncle Huang said, “Young Patriarch, better forget it! The less trouble, the better, let’s go in!”
[1] Scram/get lost, can also mean roll.

“W-What did you say?”
Jing Lu somewhat doubted whether his ears heard wrongly or not.
Uncle Huang … actually yielded?
Wasn’t it just a measly capital city? What was he afraid of?
Uncle Huang pulled Jing Lu to the side and whispered, “Whatever there is, I’ll tell you in a while. This place isn’t a place to talk.”
Finished talking, he brought Jing Lu along and directly entered the auction venue.
When everyone saw this scene, they were extremely surprised and started guessing Ye Yuan’s identity one after another.
Very clearly, Melody Sun Imperial City did not dare to provoke Riverluck Capital City, while Riverluck Capital City did not dare to provoke Ye Yuan.
Calculating this way, Ye Yuan’s identity was big until it was a little frightening.
Just what origin was this Origin Deity Realm young man?
In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted, “Eh? Isn’t this Master Ye Yuan? Why haven’t you gone in yet? The auction is going to start in a jiffy.”
Ye Yuan took a look, feeling that he was a little familiar. It should be a powerhouse who bought medicinal pills back then.
This powerhouse clearly did not know what happened just now.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Going in right now, a small accident happened just now.”
That powerhouse smiled and said, “Then let’s go in together?”
Ye Yuan said, “Please!”
“Haha, to be able to walk with Master Ye Yuan, this Liu is extremely honored!”
Done talking, the two people entered side by side, leaving behind everyone with shocked faces.
“Wasn’t that the Soaring Sky Gang’s gang leader, Liu Changtian? He’s a sixth-layered heaven Divine Lord powerhouse. He was actually so respectful toward that young man!”
“I remembered! The Medicinal Pill Shop that caused a stir in the entire city these past few days, the stall owner seemed to be called Ye Yuan!”
“It’s actually him! No wonder! No wonder! Even the three major factions have to queue up obediently in front of him!”
“Heh heh, Young Master Jing kicked a metal plate this time.”
…
Ye Yuan and Liu Changtian entered the main hall. A middle-aged man came up to greet them.
When Liu Changtian saw the arrival, his expression could not help changing.
“I didn’t expect that Alliance Chief Li actually appeared in person!” Liu Changtian said with a respectful bow.
Alliance Chief Li was naturally the Sword Star Alliance’s alliance chief, Li Xing.
Liu Changtian did not expect that for the sake of this auction, Li Xing actually showed up in person.
Li Xing smiled and said, “There are a few important people here tonight. This Li has no choice but to come. Master Ye Yuan, there was a little unhappiness just now. It was all our Sword Star Alliance who failed to look after well. Master Ye, please don’t take it to heart.”
Hearing this, Liu Changtian had a look of astonishment.
What kind of status did Li Xing have? He was actually so meek and humble toward an Origin Deity Realm!
This Ye Yuan’s identity seemed to have an even greater background than he imagined!
Ye Yuan had never seen Li Xing before. But hearing the two people’s conversation, he knew that this was the Sword Star Alliance’s alliance chief.
“Some small fries always like to jump around, no worries,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Actually, Liu Changtian did not know that Li Xing was also extremely shocked in his heart.
Ye Yuan, an Origin Deity Realm, actually sent the first-layered heaven Divine Lord Jing Lu flying with one punch! How could he not be shocked?
Perhaps, this was a true genius!
Compared to Ye Yuan, Jing Lu this so-called genius was like a frog at the bottom of a well. He was forever only able to see that tiny patch of the sky!
Celestial Deity?
So what if Celestial Deity?
In the eyes of empyreans and heavenly emperor powerhouses, celestial deities did not even count as ants.
Li Xing said, “Younger Brother Liu, I won’t accompany you anymore, please go ahead. Master Ye Yuan, I’ll bring you to the supreme box room. That place won’t be disturbed by outsiders.”
Liu Changtian had an awkward look as he said with a smile, “You guys go ahead!”
This auction venue had a total of four regions. Heaven, earth, and man, three levels. There was also a region that was normally not open to the public, that was the supreme area.
But this time, they actually opened up the supreme area.
What astonished Liu Changtian even more was that an Origin Deity Realm actually entered the supreme area!
One had to know, with Liu Changtian’s identity and status, he could only enter the earth rank region today too.
Li Xing led Ye Yuan to a box room in the supreme area. The space inside the private room was very large, the decors extremely extravagant.
There was a simple and archaic wooden table in the center. One look and Ye Yuan knew that it was made from Nine Profound Heaven Spirit Wood and that it was a priceless treasure.
On the table, various styles of pastries and spirit tea were neatly arranged.
By the side, there were even four extremely pretty maids serving on one side.
In front, there was a massive light screen, projecting the scene from the auction below in its entirety.
All in all, every little bit here evidently showed the inhabitant’s status.
“Master Ye Yuan, you be inconvenienced a bit and stay in this No. 4 supreme box room for the time being,” Li Xing said.
Ye Yuan had a face like an old well devoid of ripples. It was as if unmoved by all these. He just said coolly, “I’ve troubled Alliance Chief Li, you go and busy with your own things.”
Li Xing said with a smile, “Alright, then this Li will take his leave. If Master Ye Yuan has any needs, let these maids go and notify me.”
Finished talking, Li Xing took his leave and left.
After going out, Du Mingliang came up to greet and whispered, “How was it, Alliance Chief?”
Li Xing’s expression was slightly dark as he said, “Indifferent whether granted favors or subjected to humiliation, style of talking uncommon, impressive in bearing. His background is definitely not small! Such a person isn’t what we can build connections with. Just send him away properly and that will do!”
Du Mingliang was also extremely surprised. He did not expect that the alliance chief’s appraisal toward Ye Yuan was actually so high.
…
These were naturally deliberately shown by Li Xing they all for Ye Yuan to see.
Displaying martial strength outside the door was not a dispute caused by personal feelings, but that he wanted to let the three major forces know that his origins were extraordinary.
How could an ordinary faction possibly groom an Origin Deity Realm martial artist who could jump realm and defeat a Divine Lord Realm?
His goal was very simple. It was the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone.
If let people know that he merely came out of a low-level imperial city, with his means, it would definitely attract a lot of covetous eyes.
Even though he was not afraid, he could forget about getting the Boundless Heavenly Soul Stone.
Since that was the case, he might as well feign an unfathomable appearance. He would let everyone think that his background was extraordinary.
This way, there was naturally no one who dared to touch him.
However, Ye Yuan also deeply sensed Riverluck Capital City’s compl
exity.
Behind the three major forces, there was definitely a Celestial Deity powerhouse manipulating everything.
Furthermore, this Celestial Deity powerhouse was not even an ordinary Celestial Deity powerhouse.
Otherwise, there was no way that even Melody Sun Imperial City’s young patriarch did not dare to be insolent here.
Before long, in the light screen, an old man slowly walked up the stage and said in a clear voice, “Everyone, this old self is Jian Zhentao. I was invited by Riverluck Capital City to take on the role of host of this auction. Everybody rest assured, the things auctioning this time, this old self has already inspected them, they are all genuine goods. Furthermore, this old self believes that the auction articles in time definitely won’t disappoint everyone.”
After the old man finished his self-introduction, someone immediately exclaimed below the stage, “Jian Zhentao! Could it be a member of the Jian Family?”
Jian Zhentao stroked his beard and said with a smile, “That’s right, this old self is precisely Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets’ descendant, a disciple of the Jian Family!”
Finished talking, the aura on Jian Zhentao’s body released. A mysterious aura reverberated amidst the hall.
“Profound secrets divine essence! It’s really a member of the Jian Family!”
“Once profound secrets appear, the genuine and the fake are immediately distinguished! Turns out that Elder Jian is a member of the Jian Family, pardon me, pardon me!”
“Haha, with Elder Jian here, we can rest assured!”
When everyone saw this mysterious divine essence, they immediately paid their respects to the old man.
Chapter 1656. Dao Ancestor“s Helplessness |
“To actually invite the descendant of Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets, looks like the things this time is really very good!” Dustless suddenly said.
Ye Yuan was rather surprised as he said, “Oh? Is this Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets very powerful?”
Dustless said, “More than powerful! He can observe the destiny of what’s under the heavens, talk about the life and death of martial artists, differentiate the truth and falsehood of myriad things, and is one of the most mysterious and most terrifying existences among transcendent heavenly emperors! Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets’ art of observing aura is unparalleled under the heavens! See that divine essence? That’s called profound secrets divine essence. Only Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets and his descendants can cultivate this kind of divine essence. It’s similar to a bloodline inheritance.”
