Chapter 634: Chaos Rare Earth!
TL: Etude
As a Universal God, the Undying Legion Lord usually found most treasures unworthy of his attention. Even Origin Artifacts, while appreciated, did not drive him to madness. He already possessed Origin Artifacts, and a Saber Origin Artifact was not suitable for him. Thus, he felt surprise but not astonishment.
However, the appearance of Chaos Rare Earth was a different matter.
Chaos Rare Earth was an immensely valuable resource, useless for Planetary System level or Galaxy level beings, but crucial for Universal Gods, especially those who had recently broken through. For these new Universal Gods, Chaos Rare Earth was akin to a supreme treasure.
Upon reaching the Universal God level, one’s internal world transformed into a microcosm. Newly ascended Universal Gods had unstable microcosms requiring long periods of seclusion to stabilize. Chaos Rare Earth could stabilize and even expand these microcosms.
Without such treasures, a Universal God would need hundreds of thousands of years to stabilize their microcosm through their own efforts. Reaching the peak realm of a Universal God could take millions of years or longer.
But Chaos Rare Earth was extremely rare, generally obtainable only during cosmic expansion and the arrival of Chaos Tides. These tides were predominantly controlled by the nine supreme forces, leaving no opportunity for individuals like the Undying Legion Lord to access the resource-rich areas of the Chaos Tides. The ordinary areas of these tides yielded minimal resources, let alone Chaos Rare Earth.
Thus, Chaos Rare Earth was incredibly precious. The Undying Legion Lord had only seen it once at an auction.
Now, he encountered Chaos Rare Earth for the second time.
“True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws, you managed to obtain Chaos Rare Earth. It must not have been a gift from the Supreme Hall of Humanity, considering you’re only at the Planetary System level. Chaos Rare Earth would be useless to you,” the Undying Legion Lord remarked.
“It wasn’t a gift from the Supreme Hall of Humanity; I acquired it through a fortuitous encounter,” Ye Tian responded.
In truth, he had found the Chaos Rare Earth in a small chaotic world, led by the Dark Heavenly Ape into the lair of a dominant Tianmang Beast. The treasures stored in this lair were numerous, and Ye Tian had collected them all. At that time, he didn’t recognize many of the treasures, but upon returning, he researched them and discovered their uses. One of these treasures was the Chaos Rare Earth.
He knew Universal Gods craved Chaos Rare Earth, so he brought out this treasure, knowing it would attract not only Divine Lord Jianyu but also Flame Saber True Lord.
Regardless of whether Flame Saber True Lord succeeded in breaking through to the Universal God level, he would need Chaos Rare Earth.
“True Monarch of Ten Thousand Laws, how much Chaos Rare Earth do you have?” the Undying Legion Lord asked eagerly.
“Undying Legion Lord, do you also desire Chaos Rare Earth?” Ye Tian inquired curiously.
“Indeed!” The Undying Legion Lord replied awkwardly, “The resources in the Pan Star Field are scarce, and opportunities are few. Despite cultivating for millions of years, I have only reached the seventh stage of the Universal God level. With some Chaos Rare Earth, I could not only stabilize my microcosm but also accelerate its growth, allowing my cultivation to reach the ninth stage more quickly. At that point, my power would increase significantly.”
“Undying Legion Lord, I don’t have much Chaos Rare Earth. I can provide you with a maximum of 300 jin. I need to reserve 100 jin for the auction to ensure my plan’s success,” Ye Tian apologized.
“300 jin is more than enough!” the Undying Legion Lord exclaimed happily.
He hadn’t expected Ye Tian to have much, considering how scarce the resource was. Even a few dozen jin would have excited him, but 300 jin was a substantial amount. The two quickly completed their transaction.
The Undying Legion Lord ensured Ye Tian received a fair deal, not only offering a large number of divine items and some Chaos Crystals but also providing Chaos resources useful at the Planetary System and Galaxy levels, exceeding the value of 300 jin of Chaos Rare Earth.
Yet, no matter how many resources one had, obtaining Chaos Rare Earth was still challenging, as others would not sell it.
However, what the Undying Legion Lord did not know was that Ye Tian had far more Chaos Rare Earth than just 400 jin; he had several thousand jin. But since he would need Chaos Rare Earth in the future, he naturally wouldn’t reveal all of it.
Afterwards, the Undying Legion Lord arranged for Ye Tian to stay in the Undying Giant City and began organizing the auction, which would be held in Undying Giant City. Simultaneously, news of the auction spread, including information about the Chaos Rare Earth and the Saber Origin Artifact, disseminated through secret channels.
Of course, the news was confined to the Pan Star Field’s Heng Pan Galaxy and did not spread beyond, to avoid unnecessary disturbances.
Soon, the Eternal Sect, the Divine Desolation Hall, the Heartless Valley, and the newly ascended dominant force, the Sword Emperor Sect, all learned of the auction.
At the Sword Emperor Sect, Divine Lord Jianyu sat on his high throne, holding an invitation and displaying a curious expression. This invitation had just been delivered by the Undying Legion and was an auction invitation.
“Strange, the Undying Legion rarely gets involved in auctions. Why are they suddenly holding one now?” he wondered. Though curious, it was not entirely surprising for the Undying Legion to host an auction. He then paid attention to the auction details and, upon learning that the auction would feature a Saber Origin Artifact and Chaos Rare Earth, he was immediately unsettled. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
“Chaos Rare Earth, I must obtain it!” Divine Lord Jianyu said excitedly.
At that moment, he sensed his communicator vibrating and quickly retrieved it. A voice emerged from the communicator, “Big brother, I heard the Undying Legion is holding an auction featuring the Saber Origin Artifact and Chaos Rare Earth. If you can get the Saber Origin Artifact, great, but if not, it’s fine. You must get the Chaos Rare Earth for me; I need it!”
The voice belonged to none other than the Flame Saber True Lord. Hearing this, Divine Lord Jianyu frowned and said, “Second brother, contacting me now is too risky. If something happens… Besides, I need the Chaos Rare Earth too. I haven’t been a Universal God for long and I also need it.”
“Big brother, don’t forget that if it weren’t for me securing a lot of resources from the Divine Blade Alliance, you wouldn’t be where you are today. Moreover, I can’t show myself right now and it’s tough to get rare resources. I have to rely on you. I need to strengthen my power, stabilize my realm, and then find a way to leave the human race. Once I leave, I’ll never come to you again, and you won’t have to worry about being implicated. How about it?” the Flame Saber True Lord replied.
“Alright! If I successfully get the Chaos Rare Earth, I’ll give you half, but that’s my limit!” Divine Lord Jianyu said.
After a moment of silence, the Flame Saber True Lord agreed, “Fine, let’s do that.”
The communicator stopped vibrating, and Divine Lord Jianyu breathed a sigh of relief. Every time he communicated with the Flame Saber True Lord, he felt extremely anxious, fearing a Dominator might descend and eliminate him on the spot.
Following this, Divine Lord Jianyu began gathering resources in preparation for the Undying Legion’s auction.
As time passed, the day of the Undying Legion’s auction arrived. The leaders and key figures of the other four hegemonic forces, along with some powerful rogue cultivators and members of eight-star forces, all flocked to Undying Giant City.
Undying Giant City became far more bustling than usual, with the scene resembling a crowded marketplace.
