Related to the Great Emperor? Even Long Chen was shocked. The Eastern family possessed such a terrifying foundation, yet they could even produce such a treasure.
"Whoosh"
The curtain was drawn open, and eight elders working together lifted a huge sphere. The sphere was one zhang in diameter, completely transparent, and inside it could be seen to ripple with strange energy.
Eight elders, all at the Tongming Realm, were holding the orb with extremely grave expressions, and some even had sweat on their foreheads.
"Buzz"—
the orb was placed on the stone platform. The eight elders breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Dongfang Yuyang in his seat, and then withdrew.
As the eight left, everyone looked closely at the huge sphere, faintly sensing a sacred and vast power surging forth, like mountains and seas, exerting endless pressure.
But inside the sphere, everything was chaotic, and nothing could be seen clearly. Long Chen's pupils contracted slightly: a familiar aura—it was the aura of an emperor.
However, it was not the aura of Emperor Yunshang, yet Long Chen felt a familiar sensation. Suddenly, an image appeared in his mind.
"It's him."
In that scene, a man in white stood suspended in the void, his eyes shining brilliantly like the blazing sun. His long hair draped over his shoulders, like a god soaring in the sky, making it impossible to look directly, as if even a glance at him was a desecration.
The man in white formed hand seals with both hands, causing heaven and earth to tremble, clouds to stir in all directions, the earth to swell rapidly, instantly forming a mountain towering ten thousand miles high. A divine pillar appeared, suppressing all directions—this was the imperial seal of Demon Spirit Mountain.
Long Chen once met his gaze from afar, and he had sent a divine sense to Long Chen: The Breaker has appeared.
Even now, Long Chen still didn't understand what it meant, but he still remembered his aura.
"Long Chen, you..."
When Long Chen said the name 'him,' Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang were both shocked, staring at Long Chen in disbelief.
"That's right, this aura is definitely his, but it's too vague and very strange." Long Chen's eyes fixed on the sphere, seemingly answering the two or muttering to himself.
Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang exchanged a glance. Both saw the shock in each other's eyes—Long Chen actually recognized the aura inside the sphere.
"Is this the aura of Emperor Yun Shang?" Beitang Rushuang confirmed once again that the barrier was indeed activated before cautiously asking.
"No, this is the aura of another Great Emperor." Long Chen's eyes gleamed with brilliance, as if lost in memories.
At Moling Mountain, through the imperial seal, Long Chen witnessed the formation of the seal. The power was simply unimaginable. Even now, Long Chen still felt as insignificant as an ant in the face of that power.
"However, this aura is not only vague, it also has a sense of ambiguity that is quite strange." Long Chen frowned and said.
Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang were both filled with shock. It was said that the aura of an emperor would never be remembered unless that person was destined to meet the emperor in person and had seen him in person.
The Great Emperor is mysterious. Even if someone has seen the Imperial Seal, once they leave, they forget its aura. No powerful being can change this fact.
So Long Chen recognized the aura of an emperor, and the two were so shocked. Long Chen had actually met two emperors—what kind of existence was he?
Just as the two were in disbelief, the middle-aged man said excitedly, "Everyone, please get ready and witness the power of the Great Emperor!" "
Buzz"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he suddenly slapped the sphere with his large hand. The sphere instantly opened, blooming like a lotus flower. At the same time, a sacred pressure filled the entire hall.
"Pfft"
The middle-aged man had just opened the sphere when he was blasted away by the sacred pressure, spitting out a mouthful of blood that crashed into a distant wall, leaving a huge hole in the wall.
"Crack, crack... Crack crack Crack The
Emperor's pressure radiated outward. The powerful figures present felt an overwhelming pressure, as if they were being crushed by the stars. Many chairs beneath them shattered, and the soundproof barrier was destroyed in an instant.
"Boom!"
The main hall couldn't hold on any longer, shattering in an instant. The room instantly turned into an open air, and everyone was terrified—just a single aura, yet so terrifying.
The sphere was opened, and endless divine might burst forth, though it was no longer as terrifying as before. The chaotic aura of the sphere circulated, and people gradually saw an ancient beast hide.
On the animal hide, the character "Seal" was carved. Although it was just one character, it carried the divine might to seal heaven and earth, suppressing eternity.
Every stroke carries supreme Dao meaning; each stroke carries a world, a stroke of heaven and earth. It seems that this single character encompasses the secrets of the universe, standing above all laws and paths.
"Imperial Seal"
The people stared in shock at the ancient beast hide, their eyes shining with fervor. The seal left by the Great Emperor was truly priceless.
The stone platform was still there, but the surroundings were in complete disarray. The middle-aged man in charge of the auction was rescued, took a pill, and slowly walked up.
"I'm really sorry. The auction was originally held in another hall, which has dedicated divine patterns to offset part of the impact of the Imperial Seal.
However, due to a minor accident, the divine pattern was damaged and was temporarily moved here. There is no time to continue arranging the divine pattern. Please forgive me." The
middle-aged man bowed apologetically, then continued, "Let me introduce you. This Imperial Seal is indeed an Imperial Seal, but it's a counterfeit." "
Counterfeit?" How is that possible? Everyone was shocked. How could a counterfeit possess such terrifying imperial might?
"It is indeed a forgery. This imperial seal was not personally written by the Great Emperor, but was rubbed by a powerful being from Demon Spirit Mountain. So, it possesses imperial aura but lacks imperial intent." The man in the middle said.
After the middle-aged man said this, everyone suddenly understood: such terrifying imperial might truly had no real will transmission; otherwise, they might not have been able to stand where they were at all.
A forged copy from a single imprint is so terrifying—just how powerful is the real Imperial Seal? Just how terrifying is the Great Emperor?
Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang both turned their gazes to Long Chen. They finally understood why Long Chen said the emperor's aura was very vague and somewhat ambiguous. At this moment, they completely believed Long Chen's words.
"Everyone knows that the Imperial Blood Seal suppressing Demon Spirit Mountain was left behind by the second-generation Great Emperor—Emperor Qingxu.
Emperors throughout history have always been extremely mysterious beings. They emerged out of nowhere, suppressing eternity, pacifying the disasters of the Eight Desolations, and saving all living beings from disaster.
But after they established supreme merits, they vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a few names.
Because this imperial seal does not contain the blood of the Great Emperor, it cannot be called the Imperial Blood Seal. Moreover, it is a rubbing of the Great Emperor, with only its form and no spirit, so it can only be called a counterfeit; otherwise, it would be a form of desecration against the Great Emperor. As he spoke, the middle-aged man looked utterly respectful.
"Although it's a fake, being able to imprint the imperial seal on it means this great power's cultivation has reached an unimaginable height."
So this imperial seal is also a priceless treasure. To be honest, it is the supreme treasure of our Eastern family.
But to show the sincerity of our Eastern Family, we had to put it up as the grand finale auction item. Otherwise, how could we live up to your honor?
Alright, enough talk. Imperial Seal rubbing, starting bid is one thousand Nether Spirit Pearls, with each bid increment no less than one hundred Nether Spirit Beads. Highest bidder wins. Bidding—let's start now! "
One thousand five hundred"
"two thousand"
"two thousand five hundred"
Even if it was a fake, it still drove people crazy. Anything related to the Great Emperor was priceless , and everyone present was a peerless prodigy. If they obtained the Imperial Seal, they might be able to sense the will of the Great Emperor and benefit them for a lifetime.
Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang were also unsettled. Just as they were about to act, Long Chen stopped them. Long Chen transmitted a message:
"Don't listen to his nonsense. That Imperial Seal is not a counterfeit at all."
"Not a fake?" What is that? Nangong Zuiyue was stunned.
"That's the best of the fakes. To put it bluntly, it's a third-handed junk that's worthless." Long Chen said.
Seeing Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang's bewildered expressions, Long Chen explained, "To put it bluntly, this thing was copied from the rubbing version."
Moreover, the emperor's aura inside was chaotic, clearly tampered with. Buying this item would prevent one from feeling the emperor's intent and might even lead to misunderstanding.
Besides, why would you buy it? So what if the emperor is the one? Everyone walks different paths; if they can take the same path to the extreme, we may not be able to.
Of all the paths, what suits you is what matters most. What's the point of blindly chasing others' footsteps?
Why waste that money? Let me tell you, instead of buying that junk, I think you might as well invest your money in me.
Truly, small investment, quick results, and a huge profit at once is truly not bad. Long Chen said sincerely.
At first, after hearing Long Chen's words, the two felt like a wake-up call. Long Chen was right: the Great Emperor walks his own path, and if everyone follows the Great Emperor's path, they simply can't reach the heights of the Great Emperor. It's better to walk their own path.
However, as Long Chen spoke, Nangong Zuiyue couldn't help but smile. Long Chen had just been serious for a while and had returned to his original form, and Beitang Rushuang even gave Long Chen a big eye roll.
They don't compete here, but that doesn't mean others won't. Using the path of the Great Emperor to prove their own path is an extremely rare opportunity.
Prices kept climbing; even for rubbing editions, they were still frenzied, with bidding like a fierce battle of blades and swords.
Even Kunpengzi made his move, and the other experts gave their all. In the end, Kunpengzi secured the rubbing imperial seal for eight thousand Nether Spirit Pearls.
However, Kunpengzi was extremely steady, showing no emotion or emotion on his face. Because of this, many who competed with him eventually gave up, believing Kunpengzi was a terrifying figure, impossible to see inside or discern his true worth.
Because of the era of the End of Dharma, resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and the value of the Nether Spirit Pearls themselves is extremely precious. Using one means losing one pearl. Eight thousand Nether Spirit Pearls is something even the peerless prodigies cannot afford.
"Congratulations, Brother Kunpeng, you have obtained the Imperial Seal Supreme Treasure. Next, the auction will end. Tomorrow is the day of the Ancient and Modern Heroes' Gathering."
Tomorrow at noon, please move your carriage to the Tianyin Stone, gathering heroes from ancient and modern times to discuss important matters together. As
Dongfang Yuyang finished speaking, the auction came to an end, and everyone dispersed.
