The Ancestral Court's grand auction was always shrouded in mystery, with no one knowing what the auction items would be or what would appear before the bidding began.But with the Stone of Refuge and the Tianyang Flower successively making their appearance among today's auction items, there was no doubt that this Ancestral Court's grand auction boasted an exceptionally high overall quality.
The Blue Fox Auctioneer approached the trolley and said, "When we received this auction item, we were stunned by its magical properties. After unanimous assessment, it was categorized as a Divine Object. Even the assessing masters hailed it as an irreplicable masterpiece, a work that surpasses this era. To make today's spiritual item auction even more astonishing, it was placed in today's bidding. When I introduce it, you may find it incredible, as it is merely a level 9 item, but the significance of its existence is colossal."
While speaking, she lifted the red cloth on the trolley.
Beneath the red cloth lay a silver-white disc, emitting a faint glow, about the size of a palm.
The disc bore intricate and exquisite patterns, and it was clearly made of metal pieces joined together. The clever interlocking of the metal made it look even more magnificent.
What was this? Ninth Stage? A product transcending time?
A large question mark emerged in everyone's hearts. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The Blue Fox Auctioneer's eyes sparkled as she announced loudly, "This is an Array Plate. I believe everyone is familiar with an array plate. Not long ago, at one of our regular auctions, a very practical item known as the Spirit Gathering Formation Disk often appeared. But let me tell you, compared to the array plate before us, the Spirit Gathering Formation Disk is worlds apart. The complexity of this array plate is such that not even an Emperor Level divine consciousness can fully comprehend it, for it also has a self-destruct capability—if it is probed too deeply, it might completely destroy itself."
"Our assessment masters have judged from its structure that it shouldn't belong to this era; not a single master recognized any of the complex formations on it. However, when its function is demonstrated, it will prove that it does belong to our world. Now, let me demonstrate its function for you," she said.
As she spoke, the Blue Fox Auctioneer's long tail suddenly shot upwards, and streaks of blue light soared into the sky—her innate ability, Blue Fox Tail Needles! It possessed extremely strong piercing power and was exceptionally formidable.
At the next moment, the petite array plate had already landed in her hands, silver light flickered, and a strange silver-white glow instantly rippled out.
The previously rapidly ascending Blue Fox Tail Needles suddenly slowed down, and even the air around the Blue Fox Auctioneer's body silently twisted.
She reached out, grabbed the tail needles into her palm, and upon opening her hand, revealed the softened deep blue hairs.
"Yes, you did not see wrong. This array plate possesses the power to control time, just like the Time Crocodile Lineage's control over time. It can not only slow down time but also accelerate it. Its power rivals a Ninth Stage peak level Time Crocodile Clan member. Without a doubt, this array plate is related to the Time Crocodile Clan. We have already inquired with the Time Crocodile Clan, and they confirmed that this array plate did not come from their race. An array plate that can control time is undoubtedly precious, as I'm sure all the bidders here can appreciate. But you must be wondering, even if this array plate itself has incredible abilities, how can it compare to Divine Objects like the Stone of Refuge and the Tianyang Flower, which are below deity level?"
At this point, she paused, her words undeniably piquing the curiosity of every bidder present.
Only Tang San, seated within a cave, murmured to himself, "That's because using it doesn't require Ninth Stage abilities; it only requires First Stage bloodline power to activate its effects."
In the venue, the Blue Fox Auctioneer spoke solemnly after a brief pause, "The most important reason lies in the fact that you don't need Ninth Stage abilities to use it, just First Stage bloodline power to activate its effects. How incredible is that? Even the weakest of races, with it in hand, could possess the strength equivalent to a Ninth Stage powerhouse, and it's even the formidable Second Stage bloodline ability to control Time within a certain range, becoming the master of Time. No divine tool can compare to this."
"As we all know, the more powerful a divine tool, the more stringent the conditions are for its use. How then could this Time array disk, which can be activated by the weakest of abilities, not be called a Divine Object? This is without even considering its research value. Any race, any bloodline power can use it. Come on, our auction starts now, and those interested should prepare your Elemental Coins. Our starting bid is three thousand Elemental Coins!"
Like the Stone of Refuge, the starting bid was three thousand Elemental Coins. In terms of preciousness alone, it definitely did not compare to the Stone of Refuge or Tianyang Flower. But as the Blue Fox Auctioneer said, its value lay in its uniqueness, one of a kind; its research value was obviously far greater than its function. And its function itself was considerable. An entity with weaker strength, controlling it, was enough to resist much stronger adversaries.
This Time array disk was of course created by Tang San.
In order to research it, Tang San had wracked his brains, combining various arrays he learned from his previous life, and finally came up with the best solution.
The reason entities of low levels could use it was that he had set up a storage capability for the Time array disk. It could absorb the spirituality of heaven and earth for storage. It could also be energized by the infusion of bloodline power. Once the storage was complete, it could be used to perform the Time Variation Seal three times, either to delay or to accelerate. It was beyond doubt intricately designed, but Tang San hadn't expected that his Time array disk would end up being the last spiritual item to be transacted, even surpassing the Stone of Refuge and the Tianyang Flower in position. Just being auctioned in this spot undeniably added much value to it, and he was certain there were manipulations by the Lingxi Commerce involved.
When he had given the disk to Lingxi Commerce, Xu Ziran left immediately, clearly to carry out a series of follow-up operations.
How much is the blood of a Ninth Stage Time Crocodile worth? It was beyond doubt that it was over two thousand Elemental Coins. As the grand finale auction item, the starting bid being three thousand meant breaking even right away. Moreover, judging from the previous auctions, it was unlikely to be sold without being marked up several times. Most importantly, it was its first appearance.
The value of such a disk was maximal only the first time it appeared.
Suddenly, Tang San felt rich again. Aside from the money for the Time Crocodile blood, the additional auction value all belonged to the "Array Master," as promised by the commerce. This auction, they weren't making money. It was all to establish a reputation.
How much money could this make? It couldn't be better positioned for auction. This would mean he wouldn't need to be so strapped at tomorrow's auction of exotic treasures and could make bold bids without hesitation.
"The auction begins!" Just then, the Blue Fox Auctioneer declared the start of the auction.
"Five thousand Elemental Coins!" The price was almost instantly raised.
The bloodline power of the Time Crocodile was in itself an extremely powerful entity, and the mysteries of Time could play a crucial role many times, not limited to combat.
Just the value of Time Crocodile blood essence was already high, not to mention that this disk allowed all races, all levels, to master the mysteries of Time through it. To the owner, it was equivalent to possessing a second bloodline!
What could it be used for? Could it be used to delay the Heavenly Tribulation when confronting it? No problem.
