The Sword God of the Universe

Today, the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect has four Holy Daughters—this is public knowledge, well-known to all.

Each time the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect holds an auction, it is presided over by several of the Sect’s Holy Daughters, which has become a tradition.

"Could it be because Saintess Bai Xue became a Holy Daughter too recently, she wasn’t allowed to preside over the auction this time?" Jiao Zhan added.

Of the four Holy Daughters of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect, Jiao Zhan had never met Saintess Bai Xue.

"Brother Jiao Zhan is unaware, but it’s not because Saintess Bai Xue’s time as a Holy Daughter of Holy City is too short that she can’t preside over this auction," Zhuo Liusu said with a playful twinkle in her eye and a laugh.

"Then why is that? I heard that Saintess Bai Xue is the most beautiful among the four Holy Daughters. Why wouldn’t the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect let Saintess Bai Xue appear?" Jiao Zhan naturally asked.

"Our Jinhuan City is a bit closer to the Rainbow Gown Divine City, and I’ve heard some rumors before. It’s said that Saintess Bai Xue doesn’t want to marry the Fang Family Young Master and spoke against the Great Sect Master of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect to her face. Hehe, could she still expect a good outcome? Now she is confined within the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect and is not allowed to leave at all, let alone preside over the auction," Zhuo Liusu said with a crisp laugh.

Yet Jing Yan found this laughter somewhat grating.

Hope rose again in his heart, which had been filled with disappointment.

"This Saintess Bai Xue really does have courage to dare defy the Great Sect Master of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect. An ordinary person would not have the guts to do so. However, even if she is unwilling, I’m afraid she can’t change the fact. In another half month, the Fang Family Young Master will come to fetch her. Falling into the hands of the Fang Family Young Master, the future of Saintess Bai Xue..." Mu Bing shook his head.

Jiao Zhan looked over at Jing Yan. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Mr. Jing, since Saintess Bai Xue did not appear this time..." Jiao Zhan knew Jing Yan had come to the auction to see if the Saintess Bai Xue of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect was the person he knew.

"No matter, we will meet eventually," Jing Yan said calmly.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, deep inside, Jing Yan was anything but.

"Miss Liusu, do you know more information about Saintess Bai Xue?" Jing Yan turned to ask Zhuo Liusu.

"I don’t know too much, I only heard it from my father once. The master of Saintess Bai Xue is the Third Sect Master of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect. It seems that more than ten years ago, the Third Sect Master of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect traveled out and came across Saintess Bai Xue, then brought her back to the sect and took her as a direct disciple for training. It was two years ago that Saintess Bai Xue stepped into the Daoist Emperor Realm and was then promoted to become a Holy Daughter of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect," Zhuo Liusu replied to Jing Yan.

"Mr. Jing, you’re not also interested in Saintess Bai Xue, are you? I advise you to give up! You won’t be able to compete with the Fang Family Young Master, and the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect wouldn’t dare to offend the Fang Family," Zhuo Liusu said with a laugh, somewhat teasing Jing Yan.

"Yes! The Fang Family is a First-grade force, the only First-grade force in our Tianxia Divine Domain. This Fang Family Young Master, within the entire Tianxia Divine Domain, there are probably not many who dare to compete with him for anything," Mu Bing chimed in.

Jing Yan merely smiled and did not go into an extensive explanation.

"The Fang Family is too powerful; they have many strong practitioners in the Saint Realm. The Fang Family Patriarch, it is said, is a cultivator in the Saint Realm Third Stage," Jiao Zhan mentioned the Fang Family with a particularly heavy expression.

A First-grade force stands above all Second Grade forces, with a qualitative difference between them. Even the strongest Second Grade force cannot compare to the Fang Family.

The power gap between Martial Artists of the Saint Realm is also very significant.

For instance, the Gai Family Creator Gu Luoshui is only at the Saint Realm First Stage.

Jing Yan is naturally at the Saint Realm First Stage too. However, Jing Yan’s Triple Sword Intent, which is nearing a nascent form of Divine Skills, is what has allowed him to easily kill Gu Luoshui. Without the Triple Sword Intent to aid him, Jing Yan might have had to exert much more effort to kill Gu Luoshui.

"What exactly is the level of cultivation of the three Sect Masters of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect?" Jing Yan inquired.

If Saintess Bai Xue is indeed Bai Xue City Lord, then it was very possible that Jing Yan would directly confront the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect. Now would be a good time to learn about the strength of the three Sect Masters of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect.

"The Great Sect Master is at the Second Realm of Holy, while both the Second Sect Master and the Third Sect Master are at the Saint Realm First Stage," Jiao Zhan replied, "Mr. Jing, why do you ask?"

"Whether it is the Saint Realm First Stage, the Second Realm of Holy, or the Saint Realm Third Stage, it’s all the same to us in the Daoist Emperor Realm. In front of a Saint Realm practitioner, we are like ants; we simply cannot contend with a Saint Realm powerhouse, no matter how many of us there are," Jiao Zhan continued.

"Ah, I was just curious, nothing more," Jing Yan said with a smile.

As everyone spoke, the auction had already begun. The three Holy Daughters of the Rainbow Gown Divine Sect were taking turns bringing out items for auction.

The items up for auction were indeed exceptional, with various rare materials, powerful Spiritual Energies, and Elixirs being continuously offered for bidding.

As time passed, one item after another was auctioned off, and Jiao Zhan’s group also made several successful bids for a few items. Jing Yan, however, had yet to place a bid.

What was considered precious at the Daoist Emperor Realm held little attraction for Jing Yan, and he couldn’t be bothered to bid.

Gradually, the auction drew close to an end.

"Mr. Jing, aren’t you going to make a move? There are only the last ten items left!" Jiao Zhan looked at Jing Yan.

Just then, the Holy Daughters of Rainbow Gown Divine Sect had reminded that the auction was entering the last round.

A round meant ten items.

"If Mr. Jing has his eye on any item, just let me know. I brought quite a few Top-grade Spirit Stones this time," Jiao Zhan expressed his willingness to help Jing Yan bid again.

He saw that Jing Yan had not bid yet and wondered if perhaps Jing Yan didn’t have many Spirit Stones on him. Although it was said that Jing Yan was highly skilled in the Alchemy Dao, even able to refine the Golden Red Cloud Pill, Jiao Zhan felt that Jing Yan seemed quite young. If that was indeed the case, Jing Yan might not have many Spirit Stones.

"If Mr. Jing is a friend of Brother Jiao and lacks Spirit Stones for bidding, we could also lend some," Mu Bing said with a smile.

"There’s really no need. If there’s something I want, I will bid," Jing Yan said, waving his hand with a smile.

Zhuo Liusu pursed her lips, thinking that Jing Yan was just pretending to be richer than he was. If he lacked Spirit Stones, he lacked them; there was no need to put on airs.

"Esteemed Daoists, the next item up for auction is Divine Light Grass, which can be consumed directly to strengthen the Divine Soul," the voice of Sangqing Saintess, pleasing to the ear, filled each private booth.

At the moment, she was holding an object about the size of a palm, exhibiting a verdant hue—it was the Divine Light Grass.

At the mention of this name, Jing Yan’s eyes flickered with a sharp glint. Divine Light Grass was indeed a treasure. According to the records of the Qiankun Pill Path, Divine Light Grass was exceedingly rare even in the God Realm, let alone in this world. The Divine Light Grass presented by Sangqing Saintess was likely brought down by those who had come into this world through the Void Channel initially.
