Chapter 5357 - 5357: The Xuanyuan Family’s Treasure Vault
Inside it were more than 200 million godstones.
For a tier 4 peak existence, this was probably their entire fortune!
However, now that Jian Wushuang had seen those influential figures, he didn’t think so.
If it were a wandering cultivator, the wealth of a tier 4 Emperor might be limited to this extent.
But if one joined a sect or a major power, and gained some influence, the treasures obtained would likely be much more.
For example, in the case of the Great Xia Empire.
A few uncles could easily spend millions or even tens of millions of godstones with a wave of their hands.
Their net worth couldn’t be just a mere few hundred million; each of them probably had a net worth of billions.
Xuanyuan Dapan even directly brought out 100 million when Jian Wushuang asked for it. His net worth was likely in the tens of of billions.
And this was just to maintain the entire family.
The annual expenses for each family were astronomical.
Just supporting retainers and private troops incurred costs that Jian Wushuang couldn’t fathom.
Thinking about this, he didn’t need much.
He asked for 50 million godstones from the his ‘mother’ and asked her to help him buy a treasure to enhance his divine body, thus saving him some godstones.
An increase of 8,000 to 10,000-fold might not be significant for his status.
But to break through the 10,000-fold threshold would require a considerable expense.
At least several hundred million godstones.
He couldn’t be sure if his ‘mother’ would buy it for him, and the key was that acquiring it wouldn’t be easy. It needed to go through the imperial channels or the top-tier auction houses in the imperial city.
On the path of cultivating the distracted body, those who tread are wealthy individuals, most of them having reached the tier 4 of the Emperor, and they possess the 10,000-fold divine body.
It’s precisely because of their poverty that even those extraordinary Dao Lords and Emperor’s sons within major forces cannot directly bestow such a multitude of treasures. Only after reaching the stage of Emperor, and upon observing the speed of breakthroughs, if one steadily advances to the tier 4 of the Emperor with formidable strength, they still need to contribute in order to exchange for the treasures to break through the divine body.
“Perhaps, I won’t need them!” Jian Wushuang raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with insight.
The strand of hair clinging to Xuanyuan Anchengs body fell naturally into a secret chamber within the Xuanyuan residence after Xuanyuan Ancheng left.
“What’s this?” Jian Wushuang widened his eyes.
It was a treasure vault.
This should be one of them!
Jian Wushuang quickly discerned the scene inside the secret chamber.
Countless treasures piled up like mountains.
Their value was truly incalculable, but at least several sets of top-notch innate treasures stored in the corner were worth hundreds oof millions of godstones.
The most powerful among these treasures were eternal treasures for defense, with even higher value.
There were also innumerable ordinary treasures, as well as refining instruments, all of which were at the level of Innate Treasures, numbering in the tens of thousands.
Just the accumulated godstones amounted to over a billion.
According to the information he overheard, this seemed to be only a part of it. The wisdom of not putting all your eggs in one basket—Xuanyuan Dapan wouldn’t be oblivious to such a simple principle.
The hair he transformed into dared not move recklessly. The array in this secret room was formidable, without the strength of a tier 5 Emperor, one wouldn’t be able to break through.
This was already a tier 6 Emperor-level array. If he dared to move carelessly, Xuanyuan Ancheng would probably discover him immediately.
At present, he found himself trapped here.
Fortunately, the clone that came, brought only a few treasures—a set of supreme Innate Treasures, not worth much, but their combat power unleashed was enough to slay a tier 3 Emperor.
Now, his task was to figure out how to leave with these treasures.
In this array, there was a thread of light every inch, and if he touched the light, this clone of his would instantly perish.
No room for carelessness!
Judging by the layout of this secret room and the corresponding treasures, it seemed to be responsible for the expenses within the mansion. Many of the treasures inside were not for Emperors; there were plenty of low- grade treasures needed by Yan Immortals and Grand Yan Immortals, and they should be regularly activated.
If he took too many of these treasures at once, it would be easy to be discovered. There were also godstones, and those were in significant quantities.
The only thing he could take away was that tiny mustard seed!
The mustard seed Xuanyuan Ancheng obtained from Xuanyuan Dapan contained several billion godstones.
The total value of all the treasures here was only a dozen billion or so.
Compared to that mustard seed, everything here was insignificant.
However, he was separated from that seed by dozens of beams of light.
Entering the secret chamber, the array was in a closed state, He considered himself lucky; when the array activated, the fine thread of magic narrowly avoided the light. If luck had not been on his side, he might have perished on the spot.
“Transform!” In an instant, the strand of hair transformed into dust, hovering half an inch above the ground.
Wait!
Wait for someone to arrive. When others came, the array would inevitably deactivate. At that moment, he could seize the opportunity to approach the brocade box.
This was the first step.
In the outside world.
His true self was not idle either. The auction was scheduled for the end of the third era of Xia Niang’s new calendar, still a hundred years away.
“Heavenly Court! ”
The name of the auction house was imposing, and its strength surpassed even its reputation.
Within the Heavenly Court. there wasn’t just the auction house: there was also the Blood Stealth Hall, specializing in assassination. As long as the price was right, even a tier 6 Emperor could be assassinated.
This level of power constitutes a top-tier force in the mortal realm.
In the grand auction of Great Xia this time, a large- scale event that attracted even tier 6 Emperors, the powerhouses overseeing the event belonged to the peak of the tier 6. Only such strength could maintain order.
Legend has it that the Heavenly Court holds an auction within its confines in every era. Each treasure showcased is enough to drive tier 5 Emperors mad with desire and tier 6 Emperors green with envy.
Such auctions are the pinnacle within the Earthly Realm.
Events like this grand auction occur whenever a substantial number of treasures are amassed.
Some of these treasures are contributed by powerful individuals, while others are carefully selected from the Blood Silent Hall and presented for auction.
Regardless of how precious the items are, the Heavenly Court refrains from charging any fees for selling, and the protection of client information is rigorously enforced.
This contributes significantly to the Heavenly Court’s immense power. Many tier 6 Emperors are affiliated with the Heavenly Court, and even independent Emperors often register under its banner.
In terms of power, the Heavenly Court is no weaker than the formidable Kui Organization.
While the Kui Organization has numerous strong individuals, most prefer to remain in the shadows.
The Heavenly Court, on the other hand, can confront the Divine Temple head-on.
During the incident in the Forest of Eternal Secrets, the Heavenly Court made its presence known. Several peak tier 6 Emperors intervened, humiliating the Divine Temple. It took the direct intervention of a true spirit to finally quell the turmoil.
Jian Wushuang harbors curiosity about the Heavenly Court. Bai Junwang had previously attempted to gather information but found none regarding the internal workings of the Heavenly Court.
Eventually, he gave up.
A century, whether long or short, swiftly passed. Besides liquidating the family estate of Xia Mang Guanyu, Jian Wushuang found himself deep in the realm of borrowing money.
Throughout the imperial city, he borrowed over 100 million godstones from various sources.
To divert attention, he actively recruited independent Emperors, offering exorbitant sums as enticements..
