Chapter 413: The Stone of Shelter
What was this thing? Could it influence the fortune at this level? Tang San was secretly shocked.
The expression on the Blue Fox auctioneer’s face became noticeably solemn. “Our third-to-last auction item comes from the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain.” As they spoke, they turned and bowed towards the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain.
From the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain? Then it must be from the Celestial Fox Palace. Could it be a treasure offered by the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor?
"As everyone knows, to become a Demon or Nymph King, you must undergo the baptism of heavenly tribulation. If unsuccessful, you perish. Therefore, when unsure of their chances, many strong individuals from various clans use external forces to withstand the heavenly tribulation and achieve a breakthrough. Such methods have been researched for countless years and there are naturally plenty of options.
"However, breaking through using such methods usually limits further advancement. Only those who fully endure and withstand the baptism of the heavenly tribulation can truly be considered strong among gods. And the more powerful the bloodline, the more dangerous the heavenly tribulation!"
The Blue Fox auctioneer rarely used such a lengthy introduction.
Undoubtedly, this third-to-last auction item was related to overcoming heavenly tribulation.
"This item from the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain, named the Stone of Shelter by the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor, serves the purpose of preserving one’s original level if they fail to resist the heavenly tribulation, giving them a chance to try again."
"Only those who have endured the heavenly tribulation truly understand what it means. Normally, if they fail to break through, they will die.
"But the Stone of Shelter provides a second chance. Not only that, but the second time, you may attempt the tribulation with the experience of the previous one, which greatly increases the probability of succeeding through your own abilities. There’s no better way to unleash the potential of a strong individual."
The Blue Fox auctioneer lifted the red cloth covering the cart.
It was a necklace. The necklace was silver-white, set with tiny white gemstones, clearly Fortune Stones. The pendant on the necklace was a silver-white gemstone, emitting a faint silvery glow. In Tang San’s view, this gem clearly diluted the aura of misfortune around it.
This silver gemstone...
The Stone of Shelter allowed a strong individual to face the tribulation twice. What did this mean? It meant two baptisms, two chances to consolidate their foundation. Not only did this almost guarantee surviving the tribulation, but the accumulation from these two instances would make their foundation significantly deeper than others at the same level.
Such benefits couldn’t be measured in monetary terms. This was definitely a divine artifact! Especially for those with first-tier bloodlines of a Demon Emperor; having this meant that younger members with the potential of a Demon Emperor would have an additional guarantee for advancing to the level of a Demon Emperor!
So, it was absolutely worth it.
Zhang Haoxuan didn’t send a voice transmission to ask Tang San anything. The Stone of Shelter was useful, extremely useful, to anyone. But whether they could afford it was another matter. Even if they sold the entire Redemption Society, they probably couldn’t afford this truly divine artifact.
“One thousand!” A deep voice almost instantly quieted the entire auction hall.
Hearing this voice, not very loud in itself, felt like a thunderous shock to all the bidders. The overwhelming pressure made the heavens and earth tremble. The voice came from the highest point!
A Demon Emperor! Or perhaps a Nymph Emperor!
Although they didn’t know who had arrived, the grandeur of the voice and its direction unmistakably revealed the speaker’s identity.
Was a Demon Emperor-level powerhouse personally showing up for the Stone of Shelter? It was clear they were preparing it for their successors!
“One thousand one hundred!” A somewhat cold voice came from the other mountain peak.
No matter how envious the bidders below were when the first voice spoke, they understood that this item no longer had anything to do with them. The Stone of Shelter had attracted personal bids from Demon Emperor-level beings. Only emperors could bid against other emperors.
Tang San immediately understood why this item had appeared here. It was likely because more than one emperor had asked the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor for it. Unsure of whom to give it to, he chose to let them compete fairly at the auction. What puzzled Tang San was why this item didn’t appear on the final Divine Artifacts Auction Day but on the first day instead.
But the next moment, a flash of insight struck Tang San, and he seemed to understand something.
More emperors were likely to attend on the last day of the Divine Artifacts Auction. Even emperors would be tempted by the Stone of Shelter, leading to more bidders. The Celestial Fox Demon Emperor probably arranged with the two current competitors to auction the Stone of Shelter on the first day before other emperors noticed, giving one of the current bidders a chance to obtain it.
