At the auction venue, Elder Qian surveyed the crowd and smiled, “Ladies and gentlemen, the divine artifact up for auction is the Haotian Battle Armor. It can withstand a full strike from a Myriad Tribulation Realm expert! When fighting above your level, this armor lets you challenge higher realms with ease. Against weaker opponents, it’s like a father beating his son—total domination. In same-realm combat, wearing this armor is like having countless extra lives!”
He scanned the room, grinning, “If your strength falls short, let divine gear make up for it. With a piece like this, you’ll walk with swagger!”
As he spoke, a beautiful, refined woman carried a black box onto the auction stage.
She placed it on the stone pillar before Elder Qian, gave a slight bow to the crowd, and retreated.
Elder Qian glanced around, then opened the box. Instantly, a jet-black battle armor floated upward.
The armor, crafted from unknown scales, shimmered with flowing light, clearly no ordinary item.
Its appearance caused a stir in the crowd. Many were clearly tempted by the Haotian Battle Armor!
Elder Qian smiled, “Ladies and gentlemen, the auction starts now. The starting bid is 50 billion cosmic veins, with a minimum increment of 10 billion!”
50 billion cosmic veins!
The crowd’s expressions darkened. In the Boundless Universe, 50 billion cosmic veins was an astronomical sum, affordable only by a few superpowers!
At that moment, a black shadow leaped from the audience, striking at Elder Qian with a palm!
The sudden attack shocked everyone.
Someone dared to act?
On the stage, Elder Qian remained calm, letting the strike come.
Just as it was about to hit, a cold glint flashed through the arena.
Swoosh!
Before anyone could react, the shadow was sliced apart!
Divine Tribulation Realm!
The crowd gasped, turning to see a black-robed elder standing near the stage.
At the sight of him, the expressions of the powerhouses in the hall shifted.
In a private booth, Ye Xuan was stunned, “Miss Qin, did you train this Divine Tribulation Realm expert?”
Qin Guan shook her head, “No! I hired him for money!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Hired with money—money was truly a powerful thing!
In the auction hall, Elder Qian addressed the crowd, “No need to panic!”
He approached the mysterious assailant, whose body was destroyed but soul was still intact, restrained by the Divine Tribulation Realm elder.
Elder Qian smiled at the soul, “Who sent you?”
The mysterious figure remained silent.
Elder Qian sighed, “No need to say. It’s the Boundless Chamber, right?”
Still, the figure said nothing.
Elder Qian turned to the Divine Tribulation Realm elder, who nodded and tightened his grip. The assailant’s soul began to fade.
Seeing this, the mysterious figure’s expression changed drastically!
Just as he was about to speak, the elder waved his sleeve.
Boom!
The soul was erased!
The crowd looked at the elder with wary eyes.
Elder Qian opened his palm, and a crystal ball floated into the air, projecting an image.
When the crowd saw the woman in the crystal ball, their expressions turned strange. It was none other than Yong Ya, an elder of the Boundless Chamber!
In the image, Yong Ya was whispering with someone—the mysterious assailant.
Elder Qian looked at a corner of the hall, where a black-robed figure sat, and smiled, “Elder Yong Ya, still hiding?”
All eyes turned to the figure. Under their gaze, the figure removed their hood, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.
It was indeed Yong Ya, elder of the Boundless Chamber!
Yong Ya smiled faintly, “Everyone, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion belongs to the Current Universe!”
The Current Universe!
The crowd fell silent. Everyone knew the Immortal Treasure Pavilion was tied to the Current Universe, but so what?
No one dared act here!
Even superpowers like the Moro Clan hadn’t made a move. Who else would dare?
Besides, Pavilion Master Qin Guan’s reputation in the Boundless Universe was formidable!
How had the Tai Ling Clan vanished? Wasn’t it because Qin Guan bombed them into oblivion?
Yong Ya rose slowly and approached Elder Qian, smiling, “Pavilion Master Qin is here, isn’t she? Let her come out!”
Elder Qian shook his head, “Elder Yong Ya, the Pavilion Master has no interest in you.”
Yong Ya’s eyes narrowed, “Is that so?”
She waved her hand, “Attack!”
The crowd tensed, bracing themselves, but nothing happened!
Yong Ya frowned.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared in the hall. With a wave of his sleeve, a dozen heads appeared before Yong Ya!
Seeing them, Yong Ya’s face paled.
They were her people!
Realising something, she looked at the man, “Divine Tribulation Realm!”
The crowd gasped.
Another Divine Tribulation Realm expert?
In the booth, Ye Xuan turned to Qin Guan, who giggled, “I don’t have much, just money. And they all need money!”
Ye Xuan asked quietly, “Won’t they turn on you?”
Qin Guan said calmly, “They’ve all been bombed by me!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
In the hall, Yong Ya’s hands trembled.
She hadn’t expected all her people to be killed!
Suddenly, she turned, “Moro Clan Leader! Aren’t you going to act?”
“Don’t spout nonsense!” The Moro Clan Leader stood from a corner, glaring at Yong Ya, “Elder Yong Ya, my Moro Clan has no ill intentions toward the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. Don’t make baseless claims!”
Yong Ya’s face turned ashen.
She knew the Moro Clan had betrayed them!
She turned to Elder Qian, but before she could act, the Divine Tribulation Realm middle-aged man grabbed the air.
Boom!
Yong Ya was pinned by a mysterious force, unable to move!
She glared at the man, “Divine Tribulation Realm!”
The man looked at Elder Qian, who said, “Cut off her head and send it to the Boundless Chamber. If they don’t give us an explanation within three days, there will be no Boundless Chamber in the Boundless Universe!”
The man sliced with his fingers, severing Yong Ya’s head. He then vanished with it.
The crowd’s expressions grew grave.
Elder Qian smiled, “Ladies and gentlemen, the auction continues!”
He returned to the stage.
The Moro Clan Leader stood silently, not daring to leave. The Divine Tribulation Realm elder’s spiritual sense was locked on him. He knew any move would prompt immediate action.
He sighed inwardly.
The Moro Clan could no longer oppose the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
Two Divine Tribulation Realm experts!
That was beyond their ability to challenge!
In the hall, bids for the Haotian Battle Armor had already reached 120 billion cosmic veins!
In the booth, Qin Guan smiled, “This is done. Let’s check out the academy!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
They left the booth, heading to the Guanxuan Academy.
The academy was nearly complete, and its members had arrived in the Boundless Universe, led by Shu Xian.
Initially, Ye Xuan hadn’t wanted Shu Xian to come—his role at the academy was too vital, and Ye Xuan didn’t want him to take risks. But Shu Xian insisted, and Qingqiu couldn’t dissuade him, so he came.
On a mountaintop, Ye Xuan walked with Shu Xian, Qin Guan at their side.
Shu Xian glanced into the distance, “This universe values martial prowess over scholarship. I’ve recruited some promising students recently, but their cultivation talent is lacking.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Our goal is to provide a platform for everyone to rise.”
Shu Xian looked at him, “What you’re doing is a boundless merit!”
Ye Xuan chuckled, “Just doing my part.”
Shu Xian nodded, “Can you send Envoy Zhang to assist me? I’m good at teaching, not managing the academy. He excels at that.”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I’ve already summoned him. He’ll arrive soon. Whatever you need, just tell him!”
Shu Xian nodded, “Good!”
He turned to Qin Guan, “Pavilion Master Qin, your *Confucian Dao Scripture* is a boundless merit. On behalf of the academy’s students, I thank you!”
He bowed deeply.
Qin Guan smiled, “No need for thanks!”
Shu Xian nodded, “You two chat!” He turned and left.
Qin Guan looked at Ye Xuan, “There’s something urgent we need to do!”
Ye Xuan, curious, asked, “What?”
Qin Guan smiled, “Boost your strength!”
Ye Xuan blinked, “My strength?”
Qin Guan nodded, “You’re the dean; your strength can’t be this weak! I’ve tailored a cultivation method and gear for you!”
She looked at him earnestly, “Not only must your strength be great, but your gear must be top-notch! I’ll arm you to the teeth!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Suddenly, a voice came from the side, “Pavilion Master Qin, I’m afraid you won’t get the chance!”
Ye Xuan’s face changed. He turned sharply, and at that moment, a long spear shot toward—not him, but Qin Guan!
Qin Guan tapped her right foot, summoning a Taiji diagram beneath her.
Boom!
A white light blocked the diagram!
But the next moment, a foot landed on the spear.
Boom!
The Taiji diagram shattered, and Qin Guan was thrown back tens of thousands of zhang!
A Divine Tribulation Realm expert appeared before her—one she’d hired. But then, a spear pierced through the air, and the expert’s eyes narrowed. He charged forward, throwing a punch!
A direct clash!
Boom!
With a deafening blast, the spear pierced through the expert’s brow!
His soul was obliterated!
