Thousand Mountain Star, Eternal Tower’s ninth floor.
Meng Chuan stood there and looked at the massive number of illusory treasures floating around him.
Eternal Tower doesn’t have any Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand in its vaults. Meng Chuan checked them over and over again. He also understood that an ultimate technique like the Void Catalog could be rewritten by an Eminence who had comprehended the Dao of Space. Therefore, it could be sold publicly.
Likewise, rare treasures were occasionally produced in the outer realm. However, Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand was only produced when that particular Eighth Tribulation Eminence transcended the tribulation. It had to be produced in a special environment with the special method that the Eighth Tribulation Eminence used to resist the lightning tribulation. All these factors combined resulted in the Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand’s birth.
It was difficult for it to be produced again. Every grain used was one less grain. Even Eighth Tribulation Eminences placed great importance on it. This was because every grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand contained the power of the ninth Heavenly Tribulation.
There’s no other way to find it in a short period of time. Meng Chuan looked up. As the administrator of this Eternal Tower branch, he activated Eternal Tower’s array formation, causing a huge eye to appear above him. This eye had some characteristics of the Eye of Eternal.
“I’m willing to offer an Eighth Tribulation treasure, the Heart of Immeasurable, as a bounty for one grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand,” said Meng Chuan. With a wave of his hand, the Heart of Immeasurable appeared beside him.
The Heart of Immeasurable was fist-sized. It constantly expanded and contracted, and countless runes appeared on its surface.
Meng Chuan only recorded the appearance of what he had seen before.
“Confirm the bounty commission?” asked the giant eye.
“Yes,” said Meng Chuan. He felt mixed emotions. The first Eighth Tribulation treasure he exchanged from Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasure vault was used for selling.
If he succeeded in transcending the tribulation, he would definitely repay Archean Eon Realm. This was the only way to repay Ancestral Master Archean Eon.
In just a few seconds, the giant eye above said, “The bounty has been issued.”
Meng Chuan left the Eternal Tower branch and landed on a mountain peak on Thousand Mountain Star. He looked at the large number of cultivators in Eastcalm City from afar.
If I fail to transcend the tribulation, Eastcalm City will be gone, and Three Bay River System will return to its former chaos. Meng Chuan suddenly sighed. This was how the outer realm was. An Eminence decided the order! Once the Eminence passed away, the order would collapse.
The weak could abide by the order that existed.
The weak suffered the most when there was no order. In the best-case scenario, they would be squeezed dry. Their precious items could only be sold at low prices. In the worst-case scenario, they would be hunted and slaughtered.
I’m selling the Heart of Immeasurable this time. Meng Chuan still felt some pressure. After all, it was an Eighth Tribulation treasure. The Heart of Immeasurable is the cheapest Eighth Tribulation treasure in Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasure vault. Ancestral Master Archean Eon set the price of this treasure as 180,000 cubes for his descendants. It’s not a loss to exchange it for a grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand.
An Eighth Tribulation treasure could only be refined by an Eighth Tribulation Eminence.
There were very few Eighth Tribulation Eminences in the history of the outer realm. Eternal existences were even more ethereal legends. Therefore, the number of Eighth Tribulation treasures was limited. At the very least, most Sixth Tribulation Eminences yearned for them but couldn’t obtain them. Typically, they had a starting price of 150,000 cubes. It was normal for the prices of good treasures to increase by several-fold.
Most importantly, very few of such transactions would occur in the outside world.
The Heart of Immeasurable that Meng Chuan had taken out this time was an introductory step to the Immeasurable lineage. It contained complete spatial laws and temporal laws!
Every Eighth Tribulation treasure came equipped with complete spatial laws and temporal laws. This was also one of the reasons why Eighth Tribulation treasures were so valuable. It was also why Seventh Tribulation Eminences desperately sought them. To Seventh Tribulation Eminences, different Eighth Tribulation treasures allowed them to study time and space from different angles. Since Seventh Tribulation Eminences desperately searched for such treasures, demand outstripped supply. Thus, Eighth Tribulation treasures were naturally expensive. Although Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand was more special and rare, it was ultimately just a raw material. According to his understanding of the outer realm, Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand was slightly less attractive than an Eighth Tribulation treasure.
When the bounty was announced, all the Eminences in the River of Spacetime learned about it.
In a mystic realm, a sleeping scarlet dragon opened its eyes amidst the endless flames. An Eighth Tribulation treasure, the Heart of Immeasurable?
As a Sixth Tribulation Eminence, he had long been monitoring the available Eighth Tribulation treasures through his Eternal Tower token. He was the first to know anything about Eighth Tribulation treasures.
He was willing to use all his treasures to exchange for an Eighth Tribulation treasure suitable for him.
A bounty for a grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand? The scarlet dragon frowned slightly, feeling somewhat indignant. It’s another barter!
The more precious and rare an item was, the more likely it would be bartered.
He couldn’t buy an Eighth Tribulation treasure. He didn’t have a grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand either.
It’s said that all Eighth Tribulation Eminences in history have sought Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand. Most of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand grains have landed in various high-level worlds. The scarlet dragon sighed. I knew it wouldn’t be easy to obtain an Eighth Tribulation treasure.
He closed his eyes and continued sleeping. He knew that an Eighth Tribulation treasure was nothing but a pipe dream for him.
An Eighth Tribulation treasure as a bounty reward issued through Eternal Tower? I wonder who the owner of the Heart of Immeasurable is. In a mysterious place in the Chaos Void, endless gray fog spread out. A gray-robed man took form. His robe had blood-colored patterns on it. His three eyes were gray. If I know who the owner is, I can snatch it directly.
The benefit of transactions through Eternal Tower was its confidentiality. The administrator of the Eternal Tower branch was Meng Chuan himself, so he didn’t need to worry about the news being leaked.
“I’m willing to pay 250,000 cubes to buy the Heart of Immeasurable.” In an Eternal Tower river zone branch, the administrator was a short, fat elder. His hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot. He said anxiously, “Eye of Eternal, send a message to the bounty issuer. I’ll buy the Heart of Immeasurable for 250,000 cubes.”
In the Eternal Tower trading network, the Eighth Tribulation treasure attracted the attention of many Eminences. Even several Seventh Tribulation Eminences paid attention to this matter. However, the bolt of Ninth Heavenly Tribulation Lightning contained in Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand was equally important to Seventh Tribulation Eminences.
The Heart of Immeasurable was only at the bottom of Eighth Tribulation treasures. They typically had several Eighth Tribulation treasures in their possession, so there was no need for them to use a grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand to exchange for it.
As for Sixth Tribulation Eminences? They wanted the Heart of Immeasurable fervently, but most of them didn’t have a grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand. After all, they were treasures of the same level.
A high-level world—Cosmos Realm.
The Cosmos Body cultivation system was one of the best in the outer realm.
“Everyone, the bounty Eternal Tower has just announced is for a grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand. The reward will be an Eighth Tribulation treasure, the Heart of Immeasurable,” said a silver-haired man sitting in the second seat of a grand hall. “The Immeasurable law is the core of our Cosmos Body cultivation system! I think we have to obtain this Eighth Tribulation treasure that will guide us in our Immeasurable lineage.”
“Haha, our Cosmos Realm has more than one Eighth Tribulation treasure that provides guidance for the Immeasurable lineage,” said an elder with a laugh.
“Different Eminences have different refining methods. This Heart of Immeasurable might give us different insights,” said the silver-haired man.
“Our Cosmos Realm only has 15 grains. I think we should weigh the pros and cons carefully.”
“Be careful.”
“Teng Jiuyu, you already have an Eighth Tribulation treasure. There’s no need for you to obtain the Heart of Immeasurable anymore.” Most of the experts in the hall objected.
The silver-haired man sat there and coldly said, “Seniors, you have already escaped Samsara. You are undying and indestructible. I’m the only Sixth Tribulation Eminence in Cosmos Realm presently. I still hope to advance further… I hope to grasp the Immeasurable law completely and reach the Seventh Tribulation realm. I can sense that this Heart of Immeasurable is completely different from the Immeasurable Divine Spear that I have. I must obtain this Heart of Immeasurable.”
The surrounding Eminences hesitated.
Teng Jiuyu was the strongest expert in Cosmos Realm presently, so he was naturally special.
“I shall use the 120,000 credits I have accumulated, together with a 30,000 credit debt to my homeworld. Can I use this as a price to exchange for a grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand?” Teng Jiuyu’s gaze swept across the various Eminences.
“Debt? You wish to owe credits?” asked the elder.
“Alright.” The only tall man sitting in the hall looked down and smiled. “I’ll add 30,000 credits to Jiuyu’s account. As such, he shall exchange 150,000 credits for a grain of Ninth Tribulation Lightning Sand. I doubt anyone has any objections, right?”
“We naturally have no objections to His Majesty’s request.” Everyone present bowed respectfully. “Thank you, Your Majesty.” The silver-haired man was extremely respectful.
The tall man sitting in the hall smiled as he looked down. He nodded and said, “It’s been a long time since our Cosmos Realm has produced a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Jiuyu, it’s up to you.”
“I’ll naturally do my best,” replied the silver-haired man respectfully.
Ten hours after Meng Chuan issued the bounty.
The bounty has been answered? On the ninth floor of Eternal Tower, Meng Chuan was filled with delight. Using an Eighth Tribulation treasure as a bounty reward is very efficient!
