Chapter 467 467:- Mystical Treasures Auction [II]



The Celestial Haven Island, one of the many gems of Westnia, was abuzz with an unprecedented amount of activity. This year, the island was chosen as the venue for the widely renowned Mystical Treasures Auction, attracting more than 100,000 individuals from every corner of the six continents. People of all races and ranks had gathered to participate in this grand event.

The island itself, fashioned in a unique pentagonal shape, was naturally fortified. However, given the caliber of the auction and the high-profile attendees it attracted, the security measures implemented were nothing short of exceptional. The Mystical Treasures Auction house, responsible for the event, had installed multiple layers of defensive rune barriers and enlisted top-notch security personnel. Every possible precaution was taken to ensure the safety of their esteemed guests.

The participants weren't ordinary citizens. The guest list comprised of powerful rulers and influential nobles from around the world. Many Emperors had graced the event with their presence, while others had delegated this task to their trusted aides. Prime Ministers, right-hand men, and other influential figures filled the auction hall, ready to bid for the rare and precious items up for auction. The air was charged with anticipation, making it an event one would remember for a long time.

As they stepped off the teleportation array, Aditya, Julia, and Lara found themselves amidst the hustle and bustle of the Celestial Haven Island. The grand event had transformed the island into a spectacular spectacle of wealth and power, with its breathtaking setting providing a perfect backdrop.

Grumbling under his breath, Aditya expressed his displeasure at having to adhere to the strict dress code. He had been all set to appear in his regular clothes, comfortable and non-restrictive. However, Julia and Lara had intervened, insisting that the occasion called for formal attire. As much as Aditya was averse to the idea, he found himself in a classic black suit, custom-fitted for his sturdy build.

Aditya's signature long, blue hair was meticulously arranged into a neat tieback that fell gracefully down his back. This hairstyle accentuated his sharp, aquiline features and added an air of sophistication to his overall demeanor. His intense, azure eyes sparkled with life, reflecting his unending charm and charisma.

His tailored black suit was the epitome of elegance and masculinity. It hugged his strong, broad shoulders and tapered down to his lean waist, highlighting his lean and muscular physique. The crisp white shirt underneath was perfectly ironed, contrasting sharply with his suit. A thin black tie added the finishing touch to his look, subtly enhancing his princely charm.

All of this combined to make Aditya look not just handsome, but extraordinarily dashing. His mere presence seemed to emanate an aura of confidence and authority, causing people around him to stop and take notice. Indeed, in his formal attire, Aditya was the epitome of regal elegance.

Julia and Lara had chosen to wear matching kimonos, a decision that highlighted their close bond and mutual respect. The chosen color was a striking, cerulean blue. The deep, oceanic shade lent a beautiful contrast to their fair skin and accentuated their respective hair colors.

The kimono's intricate design depicted scenes of serene cherry blossom trees, their petals caught in a gentle spring breeze. The scenes seemed to come to life on the silk fabric, lending an almost ethereal quality to the kimonos. The wide obi sash that cinched their waists was of a slightly deeper blue shade, complementing the overall design.

Julia, with her long, purple hair, had opted for an elegant bun. It sat atop her head, neatly secured with ornamental pins that glinted in the sunlight. Her violet eyes were striking, her eyelashes delicately brushed with a hint of mascara. The bun's neat and sophisticated appearance highlighted Julia's noble features, her high cheekbones and slightly uptilted eyes. Her choice of minimal, tasteful jewelry added a sense of understated elegance to her attire.

Lara, on the other hand, had let her black hair fall loosely over her shoulders, the dark strands contrasting starkly with the blue of her kimono. Her long, soft curls flowed down to her waist, enhancing her youthful beauty. The simplicity of her hairstyle added to her natural charm, and her enchanting smile gave her an aura of joy and tranquility.

Both Julia and Lara looked breathtakingly beautiful in their matching kimonos, their distinct personalities and features only serving to enhance their elegance and allure. The vibrant color, the exquisite design, and their coordinated hairstyles made them the center of attention, radiating a captivating aura that was hard to ignore.

As the trio made their way through the crowd, Julia and Lara held onto Aditya, guiding him swiftly towards the entrance of the auction house. The three of them created quite a spectacle; the harmonious blend of Aditya's striking appearance with the ethereal beauty of Julia and Lara was a sight to behold. As they weaved their way through, their entrance became the main event before the actual auction even started.

Whispers raced through the crowd like wildfire, admiration evident in their words. Especially the ladies present, dressed in their finest, couldn't help but shoot envious glances towards Julia and Lara. While they had come flaunting their beauty and elegance, the unexpected presence of Julia and Lara made them feel overshadowed.

The men, be they influential figures or royalty from the six continents, were utterly captivated. Their eyes widened, mouths agape, as they tried to process the presence of such unparalleled beauties walking alongside a man with captivating long blue hair. Comparisons were inevitably drawn between Julia and Lara and the ladies accompanying these men, much to the dismay of the latter. These dignitaries found themselves engulfed in a rare feeling of envy, wishing they had the same fortune as Aditya.

"Who is that guy?"

"They're with him? He must have done something amazing in his past life."

"I've never seen anyone quite like those two."

A symphony of murmurs and gasps filled the air as many men, both young and old, stared at Aditya with a mix of deep envy and awe. The chatter revolved around how Aditya, in the company of two such enchanting beauties, must be someone truly special, or perhaps just incredibly lucky. Regardless of the reasons, one sentiment echoed above all: admiration.

The trio, looking like they had stepped right out of a fairy tale, caught the attention of everyone in the vicinity. Aditya, with his blue hair flowing down, was a contrast to the picturesque beauty of Julia and Lara.

Two young nobles, perhaps in their late twenties, leaned towards each other, their conversation barely audible amid the hubbub.

"Who on earth is that guy?" one whispered, his eyes fixated on Aditya.I think you should take a look at

"No idea, but those ladies... Have you ever seen anyone that stunning?" The other replied, his voice tinged with envy.

A prince from a neighboring kingdom, his arm draped around a lady who was deemed one of the most beautiful in his land, couldn't help but voice his astonishment. "Look at him, walking in like he owns the place, with not one but two such dazzling beauties by his side. What kind of charm does he have?"

His companion, a crown prince, replied with a smirk, "Well, you think maybe he found some hidden potion or a secret spell? He's hogging all the beauty."

A group of noble ladies, draped in silk and diamonds, huddled together and whispered. "I heard he's a mysterious merchant from a faraway land," one of them speculated.

"No, no," another corrected. "He's definitely a hidden prince from some secret kingdom, look at his aura."

A third chimed in, her voice dripping with jealousy, "I wish I could snag such an arm candy."

From another corner, a young nobleman muttered to his friend, "Life really isn't fair, huh? Look at us, struggling to find one decent date, and he walks in with two."

His friend sighed dramatically, "Tell me about it. You think he's giving lessons later?"

Amidst the hushed conversations and awed glances, the trio moved gracefully, blissfully unaware or perhaps just indifferent to the stir they were causing. The mingled sentiments of admiration, jealousy, and curiosity were evident. The mysterious allure of Aditya, Julia, and Lara was the most captivating prelude to the Mystical Treasures Auction.

Aditya's senses branched out, weaving through every nook and cranny of the island. What he discovered left him in mild astonishment. The sheer density of high-caliber cultivators in one location was staggering. He counted nearly 100 5th-order cultivators. Out of those, an impressive 15 were at the pinnacle of their cultivation, the peak 5th-order.

He realized that the esteemed guests weren't taking any chances. While the event itself was heralded as peaceful, the old adage 'better safe than sorry' seemed to be the mantra for these nobles and emperors. They'd brought along these cultivators, essentially their bodyguards, as insurance against any unexpected incidents.

The casual chatter among nobles, Kings, and Emperors from different Kingdoms and Empires, though lighthearted, highlighted an essential aspect of the event. The Mystical Treasures Auction wasn't just about material acquisitions; it was also a hotbed for diplomatic exchanges and political maneuverings.

Stepping inside the auction house, Aditya, Julia, and Lara halted momentarily, taking in the grandeur of the place. The space, while only spanning three floors, was vast, with an expansive ambiance that made it seem even larger than one could initially fathom. The magnitude was such that it could accommodate a throng of over 20,000 attendees simultaneously.

"Wow, I knew it would be big, but this is something else," Lara murmured, her eyes sweeping over the buzzing crowd.

Julia nodded in agreement. "It's incredibly organized too. Look, the third floor's reserved for the elite VIPs, the ground floor seems to be bustling with individual cultivators, and the second is swarming with distinguished nobles from different realms."

As they meandered through the crowd, Aditya's gaze lingered on the walls. To a casual observer, they might appear unremarkable, but Aditya's sharp eyes caught tiny intricate patterns. The walls were intricately lined with a myriad of runes. A closer inspection revealed 4-star and some incredibly complex 5-star runes.

"Those runes," Aditya whispered, leaning towards Julia and Lara, "they're not just decorative. They're functional, serving as protective barriers and possibly other spells. Some are so advanced that even I'm having a hard time deciphering them."

Lara squinted, trying to see what Aditya was pointing out. "I can't see anything, but then again, I'm no runemaster."

Julia chuckled, "Neither can I. But it's comforting to know we're in such a secure place, especially given the value of the items being auctioned."

Aditya simply nodded, impressed not only by the opulence of the venue but also by the meticulous detail that went into its design. It was clear that the organizers left nothing to chance.
