Although these families currently did not have any Thousand Year King realm experts, they still had a legacy of over a thousand years. With such a long period of development, it was easy to imagine how deep their foundations were.
At this time, the King-grade cultivation technique had already caused the entire crowd to be unable to sit still. Everybody had red eyes and agitated looks on their faces as if they were gamblers that were staking everything they had on the largest bet of their life. Everyone wanted to get the item and let their own clansmen reach the Thousand Year King realm!
“80,000 high-grade spirit stones!” A loud roar rang out as a person cried out while waving his placard furiously.
“85,000!” another person cried out immediately after. As long as a Thousand Year King could be nurtured in their family, it would be completely worth the expenditure of these spirit stones!
“85,500!”
At this time, there were only three families left still bidding for the item. These three families were normally quite reserved, but this time, all their foundations had been revealed for the sake of acquiring the King-grade cultivation technique!
The three of them clung on desperately, none willing to give up. This was an opportunity that dropped from the heavens; it could not be missed so easily!
“90,000 high-grade spirit stones!”
At this time, the gaps between each bid had become much larger. As for Lu Baiyu, he simply stood to the side, not intending to hurry them at all, allowing the three families to bid freely.
“Ai, I give up.”
An old man sat back down on his chair feebly, his heart aching at the loss. This was a King-grade cultivation technique…! To think that it had slipped out of his hand just like that.
“Family Head Liao, I’m taking this cultivation technique! 91,000 high-grade spirit stones!”
“Hmph! You think that it’s yours if you say so? 100,000 high-grade spirit stones!” A strange curve appeared on Liao Yang’s lips as he gritted his teeth and roared out a terrifying number.
“What a huge bid! These three families’ have hidden themselves too deeply!”
“These families are normally extremely low key, just as if they didn’t even exist. Who would have thought that their foundations were actually so deep!”
“That is only to be expected. The City Lord Manor and the Zeng Family were two huge wolves that would never be satiated. If they’d stuck their heads out, they would undoubtedly have been swallowed up long ago.”
The other families discussed among themselves in low voice. This time, they had truly been greatly shocked. No one had expected that families that had been incredibly dazzling normally would suddenly be dominated so hard by these three families. It was as if they were on a completely different level.
At the same time, the eyes of many flickered with a strange light as they looked at the three families.
“Interesting… only, I wonder if their strength is as good as their financial power.”
“These three families had only floated out of the water now that the Zeng Family and the City Lord Manor have been destroyed. It’s good like this as well; we’ll let them go forward to try the waters for us first.”
Many people’s eyes glowed red as they looked at them. These three families were truly too wealthy, causing others to have designs on them.
“Hmph, looks like I’ve still underestimated your Liao Family.”
The Qiu Family’s old patriarch’s face turned a strange shade of green and white. However, he did not raise his bid anymore.
100,000 high-grade spirit stones… even a Thousand Year King with weaker foundations would not necessarily be able to take such a sum out. It was easy to see just what a great fortune this was.
“Since there’s no higher bid, this cultivation technique will go to the Liao Family. Everyone, please bring your number cards to the back of the stage to make the payment.”
Lu Baiyu sighed heavily and turned around. Although 100,000 high-grade spirit stones was a huge sum, he was somehow unable to feel happy.
The auction came to an end, without anyone daring to commit any kind of robbery. After all, the Zeng Family and the City Lord Manor had been a perfect example to ward off any who would have such designs.
“BOOM!”
All of a sudden, a loud bang rang out in the Lu Family’s Manor. A huge tremor surged out, and countless wood fragments flew into the air, splintering in all directions. A terrifying pressure rose into the sky!
“What happened?!”
“Quick!”
Everyone within the Lu Family could feel the wave of energy, and quickly rushed in the direction of its source.
“Isn’t this the room where Miss Buhui is cultivating in?!”
“Miss Buhui managed to break through? But why is this Qi so terrifying?”
The first to arrive was Lu Bu and the gang. They stood outside the collapsed hut, looking shocked.
Lu Buhui was only at the Hundred Year realm Third Layer before cultivation, so, theoretically speaking, her Qi should not reach such a high level.
One had to know that those guards were all Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer cultivators, so in order for them to feel threatened, the said Qi had to be very terrifying and powerful.
“Ta, ta!”
The sound of steps could be heard as Lu Buhui stepped out of the rubble, her body surging with powerful Qi.
“Congratulations on breaking through, Miss Buhui!” The guards bowed as they congratulated Lu Buhui.
“Ok, there’s nothing else, so you may take your leave. General Lu, where is my grandfather?” Lu Buhui asked Lu Bu while dismissing the guards.
“Miss Buhui, Family Head is currently in seclusion, trying to break through.”
Lu Bu was actually feeling very happy as he could see that Lu Buhui’s cultivation had reached the late stage of the Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer!
What was more amazing was the body of mixed blood Qi, sturdy and purer than an ordinary person’s by many times!
Although it could not be compared to his own, it could be considered very outstanding. Cultivators at her level might not survive one of her attacks!
“Yeah, the entry exams are starting soon, so I shall return to school first. I have 80 percent confidence of entering the University of Tianmu.” Lu Buhui nodded before leaving.
Within the deep quarters of the Lu Manor sat Bei Feng with his legs crossed. The secret room was a hundred meters long, and had a big question mark engraved on the ground.
This time round, I am going to break through not only in my cultivation, but also in my Yin-Yang legacy. I hope this Star Formation which cost me 20,000 high-grade spirit stones will not let me down.
Bei Feng’s lips twitched as 20,000 high-grade spirit stones were worth a lot to him.
This Star Formation worked by collecting stellar energy, so the better the materials used, the better it was able to draw stellar energy!
Bei Feng could not wait to break through to the Thousand Year King!
“Strangeness, courage, chaos, supernatural, Star God Formation open, Stellar Energy of the Myriad Heavens gather, formation, rise!”
Bei Feng took out a black stone calmly. This seemingly simple black stone had cost Bei Feng over 80,000 high-grade spirit stones! It was because it was a core stone, also called a Star Core!
Only the core would be left behind after a planet collapsed. It was only the size of an egg, but a single core was worth at least several cities!
“Weng!”
As Bei Feng tossed the Star Core out, the entire formation shook, and a loud sound rang out. Following that, spots of blue starlight began to appear, forming a bowl-shaped sphere which enveloped the entire area!
Outside, a pillar of blue starlight rose into the sky from the ground, piercing high into the clouds above the Lu Family’s residence!
“BOOM!”
Numerous loud bangs rang out like thunder, and a dark starry sky appeared directly above the Lu Family. Countless bright stars blinked dazzlingly, emanating terrifying stellar energy in all directions.
“What happened? The sky has changed?!”
Everyone in the Lu Family immediately felt the sudden appearance of the aura, and as they raised their heads to the sky, all of them were instantly struck speechless.
At this time, it was as if a huge hole had been punched through the sky, exposing the starry space. Intangible energy began to gather in the Lu Family, causing everyone to feel a sense of pressurizing force.
“Ji-ji!”
Gu Qi directly dropped its carrot, and its expression turned heavy as it squeaked to the sky. It naturally knew that Bei Feng was preparing to break through.
“Moo!”
“Roar!”
In the next instant, Han Kui and the armadillo appeared beside Gu Qi. Lowering their heads, they hurried towards the Lu Family.
“There’s no need to panic. Family Head is preparing to assail the Thousand Year King realm, we will all be leaving the manor right away!” Lu Bu’s voice rang out, instantly calming the hearts of many Lu Family members.
At this time, Han Kui, the armadillo, as well as Lu Bu and the rest were radiating the aura of Thousand Year Kings as they gathered around the gangster rabbit Gu Qi.
“What’s going on? It’s the Lu Family again!”
“What the hell? One, two, three, four Thousand Year Kings?!”
Many people looked towards the Lu Family with their eyes twitching slightly before deciding not to bother any further. The Lu Family had been in the news too much lately, and these people were already too lazy to overreact because of what the Lus were doing.
Numerous rays of stellar energy fell from the sky, their colors all varying greatly. Looking at it from a distance, it was as if a waterfall of lights was pouring down from the sky!
The terrifying stellar energy poured directly into the Star Formation underground, only entering, and not exiting!
“What terrifying Stellar Energy!” Bei Feng gasped speechlessly. Huge amounts of stellar energy filled the entire space; terrifying amounts of stellar energy flooded into his body with every breath!
I’ll break through to the Star Guardian realm in one move!
Bei Feng sat cross-legged on the ground while he formed a profound water seal mark on his hands. At the same time, a strange mark lit up between his brows!
The mark between Bei Feng’s brows started to revolve slowly, leading the stellar energy in and directly forming a whirlpool!
In Bei Feng’s sea of consciousness, the Star Palace in his soul began to light up.
At this time, large amounts of stellar energy were pouring endlessly into the Star Palace, causing the archaic aura on it to thicken rapidly!
The Star Palace also began to grow slowly, while its aura became stronger and stronger!
10 zhang!
100 zhang!
1,000 zhang!
A 1,000 zhang tall Star Palace stood erect within Bei Feng’s soul, suppressing the entire sky!
“Weng!”
A light sound rang out, and the thousand zhang tall Star Palace suddenly shook before squeezing its way out of Bei Feng’s sea of consciousness and materializing in the real world!
The thousand zhang tall Star Palace directly encompassed the entire Lu Family residence, covering it!
From the outside, one could only see a tall ancient 10-storied pagoda, and the original Lu Family residence was nowhere to be seen!
When the Star Palace appeared, the stellar energy in the sky suddenly paused. A short moment later, the skies opened up, and even more stellar energy poured in, with 10 times the previous might!
The terrifying stellar energy was completely absorbed by the Star Palace, which rejected nothing that came its way. As it swallowed the stellar energy, the Star Palace turned more and more solid, and the various engravings of flowers, birds, fishes, etc., on the pagoda also began to come to life!
