The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
Tan Yun pondered— “That cold-faced girl is, at most, at the Great Perfection of the Soul Integration Realm…” “Looks like… I’ll have to spend 1,000,000,000 low-grade spirit stones to buy one.” Although this amount made his heart “ache” a little— When he thought about how he could later “bleed Daoist Bingqing dry” for even more— He decisively paid! At the same time— The total amount appeared within the formation… When the flow stopped— Text appeared: “Received 93,000,000 low-grade spirit stones An...
The rooms selling the “Tortoise Breath Cloak” numbered in the hundreds—each completely “unattended” and independently operated.
The door of every room was equipped with a “detection formation.”
Once someone entered—
The door would automatically close, preventing any outsiders from disturbing them.
In addition—
Each room also contained a “small teleportation formation” connected to the 2nd floor.
After completing a purchase—
One could immediately teleport upward!
The ingenious design of Huangfu Shengxing—
Was to ensure that buyers felt completely “at ease.”
In other words—
From start to finish, there would be no 3rd party involved in the transaction.
Safe… and trustworthy!
…
Tan Yun passed by 10 rooms in a row—
But none of them opened, indicating someone was inside.
Until the 11th room—
The door slowly opened.
Tan Yun stepped inside—
And the door closed once more.
…
Inside the room—
Each “Tortoise Breath Cloak,” large enough to cover the entire body, was placed inside a treasure cabinet—
With clearly marked prices!
Tortoise Breath Cloak—able to block detection from cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Soul Integration Realm
Price: 100,000,000 low-grade spirit stones
Tortoise Breath Cloak—able to block even higher-level Great Perfection Soul Integration cultivators
Price: 1,000,000,000 low-grade spirit stones!
Tan Yun pondered—
“That cold-faced girl is, at most, at the Great Perfection of the Soul Integration Realm…”
“Looks like… I’ll have to spend 1,000,000,000 low-grade spirit stones to buy one.”
Although this amount made his heart “ache” a little—
When he thought about how he could later “bleed Daoist Bingqing dry” for even more—
He decisively paid!
“After all, once bought, it can be used forever!”
…
Tan Yun walked to the “automated transaction formation” in front of the counter.
Whoosh!
He raised his right hand—
Pouring out all the low-grade and mid-grade spirit stones from his Qiankun ring like a waterfall!
The transaction formation flashed rapidly—
All the spirit stones “vanished” in an instant!
At the same time—
The total amount appeared within the formation…
When the flow stopped—
Text appeared:
“Received 93,000,000 low-grade spirit stones
And 8,630,000 mid-grade spirit stones (equivalent to 863,000,000 low-grade)”
“Total: 953,000,000 low-grade spirit stones”
“Remaining payment required: 47,000,000”
“If you wish to purchase—please complete the payment”
“If not—you may request a refund”
…
At present—
After Tan Yun previously spent 130,000 high-grade spirit stones to buy 11 high-grade flying swords—
He only had 3,900,000 spirit stones left.
Of course—
He did not use high-grade spirit stones for the remaining payment.
Instead, he opened the Qiankun rings of “Duan Zhen” and the other 3 Sacred Spirit Line disciples—
Taking out 470,000 mid-grade spirit stones—
And completed the payment!
…
After counting—
The remaining wealth in the rings of the 4 people included:
160 high-grade spirit stones
200,000 mid-grade spirit stones
1,400,000 additional mid-grade spirit stones
Combined with Tan Yun’s original assets—
He now possessed:
179 high-grade spirit stones
4,100,000 high-grade spirit stones (large quantity)
1,400,000 mid-grade spirit stones
If converted into low-grade spirit stones—
Total: 41,300,019,000!
Over 41,300,000,000 in total!
If converted into mid-grade—
It exceeded 400,000,000!
…
“With wealth at this level…”
“I no longer need to worry about bidding for what I want!”
Tan Yun murmured inwardly.
At that moment—
Inside the treasure cabinet, a “Tortoise Breath Cloak” resembling a robe floated out on its own—
Hovering before him.
Tan Yun immediately put it on—
Then stepped into the “teleportation formation.”
Whoosh!
His figure vanished—
And reappeared on the 2nd floor of Huangfu Shengxing in an instant!
“Huangfu Shengxing” had a total of 7 floors.
The 1st floor was a massive auction hall, spanning thousands of square chi.
The entire 7-floor structure was designed in a circular formation—
Allowing floors 2 through 7 to clearly view the auction stage below!
The auction stage on the 1st floor measured 100 zhang wide.
As for the seating area below—
Anyone who wished to sit there only needed to pay 1 mid-grade spirit stone to enter.
Female disciples were stationed at specific points to collect the fee.
…
On the 2nd floor—
There was a jade platform, and behind it stood a young woman dressed in green-blue attire.
When she saw Tan Yun appear from the teleportation array—
She smiled sweetly and spoke politely,
“Honored guest, which floor’s private room would you like to stay in?”
Tan Yun—completely concealed under the Turtle Breath Cloak—
deliberately altered his voice to sound hoarse like an old man.
“What are the price differences between each floor?”
The woman in green explained in detail—
“The 2nd floor has 999 private rooms, priced at 10 mid-grade spirit stones per room.”
“The 3rd floor has 666 rooms, priced at 30 mid-grade spirit stones.”
“The 4th floor has 188 rooms, priced at 100 mid-grade spirit stones.”
“The 5th floor has 99 luxurious rooms, priced at 1,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”
“The 6th floor has 88 rooms, priced at 3,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”
“As for the 7th floor, there are 36 VIP rooms—each priced at 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones, or 3,000,000 low-grade spirit stones.”
…
Upon hearing this—
Tan Yun did not hesitate in the slightest!
He immediately paid 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones—
causing the young woman to be visibly stunned!
She thought to herself—
someone who spends so lavishly must be a “person of status” or “a powerful figure”!
Combined with the hoarse voice Tan Yun deliberately displayed—
she became even more certain that the other party must be an “elder”!
After carefully collecting the spirit stones—
her attitude became even more respectful.
“Honored Elder, currently VIP Room No. 3 and No. 4 are available. Which would you like?”
“Number 3.”
The aged voice came from beneath the cloak.
“Yes, please come this way. Someone will attend to you shortly.”
After saying that—
Tan Yun nodded, then spoke in a commanding tone,
“Go call your manager to VIP Room No. 3.”
“I have matters to discuss regarding bounty missions.”
“Yes!” The woman bowed deeply.
…
“Mm.”
Tan Yun responded briefly—
his figure flickered continuously!
Before long—
he appeared on the 7th floor and entered the “highest-level VIP Room No. 3.”
…
Although the VIP room was not extravagantly decorated—
it carried a simple elegance that calmed the mind.
Behind a lifelike landscape screen—
Tan Yun sat down on a jade chair.
His gaze passed through the screen—
clearly seeing the auction stage below!
With his eyesight—
he could immediately tell that the screen was a “low-grade magic artifact.”
Those inside could clearly see outside—
but those outside—
could neither see in nor probe with spiritual sense!
…
Knock, knock, knock!
A gentle knocking sound came from the door,
followed by a steady voice from outside—
“I am Wang Su, the manager of Huangfu Shengxing.”
“I heard from my staff that you wish to take on bounty missions?”
“Come in,” Tan Yun’s aged voice sounded from within.
The door opened—
and a middle-aged man walked in.
Wang Su looked toward the figure sitting behind the screen and asked cautiously,
“May I ask which mission you wish to accept?”
Tan Yun didn’t even turn his head—
and spoke coldly and arrogantly,
“I accept all missions ranked No. 1–4 on the main bounty board.”
“Go inform the employers—have them bring enough spirit stones and come meet me.”
“Tell them—if they do not arrive before the auction begins…”
“I will not wait.”
…
Wang Su’s expression changed slightly.
He thought to himself—
even the 9 core disciples of the inner sect treat me with respect,
yet this person… not only shows no intention of befriending me,
but speaks with such arrogance!
“Could it be… an elder from an immortal sect?”
Though suspicious—
Wang Su still cupped his fists respectfully.
“Please wait a moment. I will notify the employers immediately.”
“Mm…”
Tan Yun’s indifferent reply sounded once more…
