Chapter 2247: Supreme Saint Sanjin
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After passing through the Realm of Star Ocean’s gate, the scene in front of him changed drastically.
The blood-red river below became clear and bright while the surface of the water became wider. At first glance, it looked like a boundless lake or ocean. The edges were nowhere to be seen. Up in the sky, there were dozens of Planet of Life and the planets were not huge. They were less than 1,500 kilometers in diameter.
There were all kinds of buildings on the planet. It includes Saint boats, Savage Beasts, and cultivators flying in and out of the atmospheric layer at all times. Everything appeared to be extremely busy, yet orderly.
Zhang Ruochen stood up and looked around, “The heavenly and earthly precepts here are completely different. They have caused extreme oppression to the cultivators.”
Luo Sha laughed, “This is the Realm of Star Ocean’s headquarters. Of course, it changes the heavenly and earthly precepts and suppresses the cultivators’ power. Otherwise, won’t this place be easily destroyed when a Supreme Saint suddenly goes mad?”
Zhang Ruochen nodded lightly. A Supreme Saint’s destructive power was too strong. One punch could probably destroy one Planet of Life in the sky.
But now, even with Zhang Ruochen’s battle strength, one mighty punch would not be able to destroy a mountain on those Planets of Life.
The Saint boats left the water and flew towards one of the planets in the sky.
As soon as it passed through the atmospheric layer, a Supreme Saint from the Planet of Life came to welcome it.
It was not the Supreme Saint himself, but a spiritual avatar.
Of course, with Luo Sha’s Saint Kinghood cultivation level, being capable of alarming a Supreme Saint was enough to tell of her extraordinary status in the Infernal Court.
“Is Your Highness Luo Sha here to participate in the auction? Or do you wish to purchase items on your own?” asked Supreme Saint Sanjin.
The other party was, after all, a Supreme Saint. Therefore, Luo Sha’s attitude was rather humble, “I want to buy treasures that can help me comprehend the Path of Dimension and condense a precious Neverwither Physique. I want the best of the best. The royal family of Devala has an incalculable amount of it, so don’t waste your time.”
“Don’t worry. The treasures that can be sent to the Realm of Star Ocean’s headquarters are definitely the best,” answered Supreme Saint Sanjin with a smile.
For a very long time, Luo Sha had the ability to break through Supreme Saints. However, with her willpower and talent, she was naturally unwilling to become an ordinary Supreme Saint. Even if she could not reach the completion like Yan Wushen and Zhang Ruochen in Saint Kinghood, she still had to become one of the best.
And the fact is that she had that kind of talent.
Even when she was at Saint-level, she could defeat the genius ranked 12th place on the Saint Merit List of the Celestial Court.
In addition to her identity as the Master of Space, she had enough confidence to become the most powerful one at the Saint King level.
After finishing his discussion with Supreme Saint Sanjin, Luo Sha looked at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Let me introduce you. This is Supreme Saint Ruochen, the grandson of the Bloodsky clan’s leader and the Immortal Vampires. His mother is also a god.”
Supreme Saint Sanjin was moved. He quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands on the chest, “Although I work in the headquarters of the Realm of Star Ocean, how could I not know of the great Supreme Saint Ruochen? I didn’t expect to have this fate to meet you in person today.
“There are too many things going on at the headquarters. I have to split my time into small pockets to deal with them. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you in person.”
Supreme Saint Sanjin was more cautious with Zhang Ruochen’s attitude than Luo Sha’s.
No matter how noble Luo Sha’s identity was, she was still a Saint King. On the other hand, Zhang Ruochen was a Supreme Saint, and a practical Supreme Saint at that. He had already made a name for himself.
A Supreme Saint like Supreme Saint Sanjin, who rarely participated in life-and-death killings, would die even if his level was higher than Zhang Ruochen’s.
“This is Supreme Saint Sanjin, one of the many merchants in the Realm of Star Ocean. He holds a high position in the headquarters.” Luo Sha introduced him to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t arrogant. He said calmly, “Greetings, Supreme Saint Sanjin. I came to the Realm of Star Ocean to buy something.”
Supreme Saint Sanjin laughed. “It’s my pleasure to have someone as great as you come all the way to the Realm of Star Ocean. It looks like I’ll have a big business deal.”
“This isn’t a good place to talk. Please follow me.”
Under the Supreme Saint Sanjin’s lead, Zhang Ruochen, Luo Sha, Han Ying, and the two Saint maidservants came to a shining lake and sat beside a jade stone.
The other Saint maidservants took their Saint boats and moored to a port on the planet.
A maidservant immediately brought over a drink from the holy spring and a ten-thousand-year-old treasure, a medicine known as the Emerald Fruit.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyelids twitched slightly. He spoke to Luo Sha, “The Realm of Star Ocean is indeed extraordinary. Saint-level creatures is served as a casual snack here, and those are rare treasures that can only be sought after.”
Luo Sha rolled his eyes, “This lake is where the Realm of Star Ocean serves distinguished guests. Only Scion and their grandsons, or Supreme Saints can enter. If the snacks are not presentable enough, how can they eat them with reverence?”
Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power to sense. Indeed, he found many powerful auras surrounding all corners of the lake.
Because it was a place to serve distinguished guests, the space where the lake was placed had been engraved with a huge amount of Divine Marks. It prohibited the spiritual powers from exploring. Therefore, Zhang Ruochen could not identify their identities and cultivation levels.
Luo Sha sensed the fluctuation of Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power and quickly stopped it, he said, “There’s still about four hours left until the auction begins. So, many distinguished guests are resting here. Not only elites attending the Celestial-Hunting Festival will be present, but also Paramount Realm’s Supreme Saints, Semigods, and Gods. Using spiritual power here to explore is considered as a disrespectful act and could easily cause unnecessary trouble.”
Zhang Ruochen quickly withdrew his spiritual power and asked in surprise, “Will there really be Gods coming?”
“What’s so strange about that? The auction in the Realm of Star Ocean is held once a month. There will be a lot of rare treasures in each session. Some of the gods will be tempted to get them.”
Then Luo Sha whispered mysteriously, “Rumour has it that today’s auction will include the corpse of a God who has just died. There must be a lot of powerful individuals coming to fight for it.”
“Another God died?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t care about the God’s corpse, but more about the God’s death.
After all, there were only three scenarios that could make a God die.
First, dying in the Yuanhui Tribulation.
Second, an accidental death in battle.
Third, one felt that there was not much time left and chose to die in meditation. Or one would choose to sleep forever and die in his sleep to ensure the integrity of his godly body.
Out of all the cases, more than half of the Gods who died in the Yuanhui Tribulation were destroyed in both body and spirit. It was difficult for them to leave a complete godly figure.
Many of the Gods who had died in the tribulation had also been obliterated into ashes or dissipated into nothingness. It was extremely rare for Gods to leave their corpses behind.
In the third scenario, there were relatively more corpses that had been preserved.
However, since gods chose to sit down or sleep to death, they would usually choose a very secret place or have a younger generation guarding them. After they died, they could hardly be brought out for sale.
Therefore, when Zhang Ruochen learned that a god’s corpse was involved at the auction, the first thing that came to mind was that a god from the Celestial Court had fallen.
Luo Sha said, “I don’t know the origin of the God’s corpse yet. Anyway, my royal brother will represent Devala to participate in the auction for the God’s corpse. He has mobilized a lot of Godstones for it. If it was just the body of a false god or a half-damaged God’s corpse, he wouldn’t have made such a big move.”
A God corpse was divided into three, six, and nine levels. And their values would have a vast difference.
If the God was one who had just been killed, the corpse would still be kept intact. Therefore, its value would be very high. It could even be equivalent to a divine treasure and of great strategic significance.
Just like the case when Empress Chi Yao had killed Jueshen of Asura. Kunlun’s strength had soared in a short period of time with the Divine Blood, Divine Bone, Divine Soul and other God-level treasures contained in Jueshen’s corpse,
It increased the overall strength of a realm.
If the God’s corpse auctioned in the Realm of Star Ocean reached the same level as Jueshen’s corpse, then all the forces of Infernal Court’s ten clans would fight for it at all costs.
Supreme Saint Sanjin appeared in person. He personally rushed over and asked Zhang Ruochen what he needed to buy.
Zhang Ruochen thought carefully and asked, “Does the Realm of Star Ocean own a stellar core?”
Supreme Saint Sanjin answered back with another question, “What level of stellar core do you have in mind?”
Zhang Ruochen’s knowledge about stellar cores was limited, so he asked, “What are the levels of a stellar core?”
“In Infernal Court, planets are divided into nine levels, from level one to level nine. Naturally, stellar cores are divided into nine levels too.
“Level one stellar cores are the cheapest. One could buy them with tens of millions of saint stones. In the Realm of Star Ocean headquarters, the highest existing level belongs to three pieces of level six stellar cores. They are all sky-high prices,” explained Supreme Saint Sanjin.
Zhang Ruochen was interested in buying stellar cores to refine them into the Violet Gourd and increase it’s suction power.
However, how much or what levels of stellar cores were within the Violet Gourd’s capability was still unknown.
“Are you planning to buy Violet Gourd for the purpose of refining weapons?” asked Luo Sha out of curiosity.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said to Supreme Saint Sanjin, “How many Saint Stones for a level six stellar core?”
‘This is indeed a big business.’
This thought flashed across Supreme Saint Sanjin’s mind. The corner of his lips lifted as he said, “A level six stellar core can’t be traded with Saint Stones. It has to be bought with Godstones. It costs around 50 to 200 Godstones. The weight and attributes of a stellar core is different, so there is a huge difference in its price.”
Even with Luo Sha’s status and knowledge, he was still shocked by the answer. He said, “Isn’t it too expensive for just a stellar core? A level one Regal Artifact can’t even be sold at this price.”
Supreme Saint Sanjin replied, “A level six stellar core needs at least a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint to refine it from a level six planet. It takes a lot of time, so the price is naturally high.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “I will definitely buy the stellar core, but I don’t have that many Godstones at the moment. How about this? I’ll send a batch of Regal Artifact to the Realm of Star Ocean for auction. But I’m not sure if I can make it in time for the auction.”
“Of course, you’ll be in time, but…”
Supreme Saint Sanjin was stunned. He couldn’t believe what he had just heard, so he asked, “Do you really have a batch of Regal Artifact?”
Even by putting together most of the Neverwilt Realm’s Supreme Saints, they only owned one Regal Artifact in total.
How could Supreme Saint Sanjin not be shocked when Zhang Ruochen could casually take out a batch of it?
“I just received this batch of Regal Artifact. I can sell them to fulfil this urgent need.”
As he was speaking, Zhang Ruochen took out eight Regal Artifacts, including the Parashu. All of them were taken from six Supreme Saints of the Mara Family.
Seeing this, the two Saint maidservants and Han Ying who were standing behind Luo Sha were stunned.
If six of those Supreme Saints from the Mara Family knew that Zhang Ruochen was going to auction off their most powerful weapon, they would definitely be furious. The value of these Regal Artifacts were even more expensive than their Supreme Saint’s blood.
After all, a Supreme Saint’s blood was only sold once.
“Level two Regal Artifact, Parashu? Isn’t this Warlord Mara’s weapon?” Supreme Saint Sanjin said in surprise.
Obviously, he didn’t know what had happened at the Arena of Life and Death.
Zhang Ruochen nodded, “Don’t worry, Supreme Saint Sanjin. All six of the Supreme Saints from the Mara Family lost to me in a fair and just manner. Countless cultivators witnessed it. Every single one of them was brought back transparently.”
At the Arena of Life and Death, Zhang Ruochen had the right to kill six Supreme Saints from the Mara Family. Naturally, he also had the right to decide what to do with their weapons.
Even Luo Sha rolled his eyes when he heard Zhang Ruochen’s words.
When this batch of Regal Artifact went up for auction, the humiliation he caused upon Mara Family’s six Supreme Saints would spread further. It would be strange if they did not come and fight with Zhang Ruochen.
However, Zhang Ruochen was a ruthless bastard. He had almost sucked out all the blood of those six Supreme Saints. It would be difficult for them to recover back to their peak combat strength in a short time.
Even if their internal organs were about to explode, they could only endure it.
Zhang Ruochen had seized hundreds of Regal Artifact. Yet, he did not feel any emotion when he put up a batch for auction. Instead, he was thinking whether he could get enough Godstone after selling those items.
After all, he did not only intend to buy stellar cores, but also treasures that cultivate the Saintwill as well as treasures that help the Ancient Abyssal Blade practice. Moreover, he also intended to buy a batch of top-level talismans and arrays.
There were so many enemies. If he could not win, at least he could crush them to death with talismans and arrays.
Sometimes, money could really kill people.
But would the Celestial-Hunting Festival allow the use of talismans and arrays at a large-scale?
If it was allowed, then this battle would be about money. It would depend on the one who had more wealth.
No matter what, there was no harm in preparing more Godstone. If possible, Zhang Ruochen even wanted to buy the God’s corpse and feed it to the God-eater Bug. Then, he wanted to nurture them into a God-eater General that could sweep through everything alone.
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhang Ruochen took out a treasure from the bottom of the box.
“This divine ancient artifact, a level seven Regal Artifact should also be auctioned!”
Zhang Ruochen took out the Wheel of the Nether Sun and handed it to Supreme Saint Sanjin.
“Level seven Regal Artifact?”
Supreme Saint Sanjin was shocked. Both of his hands trembled and he almost dropped the Wheel of the Nether Sun to the ground.
This was too ridiculous. Who would sell a Level seven Regal Artifact?
On top of it, that was a divine ancient artifact.
One had to know that more than half of the Supreme Saints from Paramount Realm who managed the army did not even reach level seven. Even for an ancient clan like the Xue Jue Family, a level seven Regal Artifact could be considered as a family treasure. It could not be leaked to the outside world.
Did Wargod Bloodximius know that his grandson was such a spendthrift?
Luo Sha suddenly stood up, grabbed one corner of the Wheel of the Nether Sun and said, “Zhang Ruochen, we have such a deep relationship. Why don’t you sell it to me? I’ll pay you one hundred thousand Godstones.”
Supreme Saint Sanjin was indeed worthy of being the Realm of Star Ocean’s merchant. He held the Wheel of the Nether Sun tightly in his hands to prevent Luo Sha from taking it away. He said, “Just now, I’ve done a preliminary investigation. This level seven Regal Artifact is a weapon used by Nether Clan’s former God, Nether Lord Lingyang. It’s only one step away from being a Supreme Artifact. Its value is much higher than one hundred thousand Godstones.”
“Two hundred thousand Godstones, it’s a deal!”
Luo Sha stared at Zhang Ruochen and said telepathically, “It’s better to sell it to me instead of any random outsider.”
Supreme Saint Sanjin shook his head and said, “If we put the Wheel of the Nether Sun in the Realm of Star Ocean’s auction, it will definitely attract the attention of the top Supreme Saints from the Nether Clan. The price is much higher than what you’re proposing now.”
Zhang Ruochen found it hard to understand. Wasn’t it just the Wheel of the Nether Sun? A Divine Kingdom’s princess, and a merchant, both of them were of high statuses. Was there a need to fight this hard?
In Zhang Ruochen’s hands, the Wheel of the Nether Sun was really a dispensable thing to him. It couldn’t even compare to the skeletal whip, which was an actual Supreme Artifact.
Supreme Saint Sanjin had a different thought in his head, ‘No wonder all the big forces in the Infernal Court wanted to kill Zhang Ruochen. How many treasures did this guy steal from the Infernal Court? Killing him would be a lot more profitable than killing a god.’
This time, Supreme Saint Sanjin had wronged Zhang Ruochen.
The Wheel of the Nether Sun was taken from the Blackdemon Realm’s Mosheng.. It wasn’t taken from any of the Infernal Court’s cultivators.
