Open up and break into another world

“Outside the city, there are thousands of experts wanting to beat you up…” Lone Gun Guest said, his face full of fear.

“Huh?” Xu Ming was also stunned, “What did you say? Thousands of experts want to beat me up?”

Soon, Xu Ming understood the whole story—it turned out that those great powers who had been teased by him were now coming to his door!

“I thought it was a big deal!” Xu Ming sneered, “Just ignore them! Anyway… it’s impossible for them to rush into the city to attack me!”

“But… Brother Ming…” Lone Gun Guest said awkwardly, “You will have to leave Dao Death City sooner or later, right? You can’t stay here forever, can you?”

“Don’t worry!” Xu Ming said lightly, “There will always be a way!”

“After the auction ends, I’ll go clean them up!” Xu Ming said domineeringly.

“Uh…” Lone Gun Guest didn’t quite understand where Xu Ming’s confidence came from.

…

The auction arrived as scheduled.

The True Self Auction House was vast, spanning hundreds of realms.

And only a few thousand great powers came to participate in the auction.

Thousands of great powers were scattered in the space of hundreds of realms, appearing very sparse.

On the central auction stage, there were no treasures, only an auctioneer standing there alone.

“Welcome everyone to the True Self Auction House!” The auctioneer had a refined temperament and was also a peak Nirvana Realm existence, “I believe everyone understands the content of this auction! What we are auctioning are eleven places to enter the Tower of Immortality! —Our True Self Auction House has verified that Xu Ming does indeed have the Immortal Sword; however… after the auction ends, whether Xu Ming will keep his word, or whether he truly has the strength to take you into the Tower of Immortality; our True Self Auction House will not be responsible for any of this!”

The auctioneer’s words were very clear—the True Self Auction House was only responsible for helping Xu Ming auction the places; as for the rest, they would not be responsible.

Inside the True Self Auction House, the great powers had no reaction. Clearly, they had long expected the True Self Auction House to act this way.

“The eleven places will be auctioned separately!” the auctioneer continued, “Now, we will auction the first place; the starting price is… ten million high-grade Chaos Origin Crystals! Each bid must be no less than one hundred thousand high-grade Chaos Origin Crystals!”

Xu Ming did not show his face at the auction, but was in a VIP room.

Xu Ming looked at the auction scene, full of anticipation: “If all eleven places can be successfully auctioned off, then… I will get more than one hundred million high-grade Chaos Origin Crystals!”

More than one hundred million high-grade Chaos Origin Crystals is equivalent to more than one hundred million Level 20 Enhancement Points!

With these Enhancement Points, Xu Ming could use the “Attribute Modification” cheat to “temporarily modify” his cultivation to the peak of the Nirvana Realm! At that time, Xu Ming’s strength would be almost invincible below the Domain Lord!

When he returned to the “future”, Xu Ming could also rely on these Enhancement Points to “permanently modify” his cultivation to the peak of the Destruction Realm! That way, Xu Ming’s cultivation and strength would be equivalent to reaching the sky in one step!

“Hopefully… these eleven places can sell for a good price!” Xu Ming secretly anticipated.

However…

After the auctioneer called out the starting price, the entire auction house was silent!

Not a single great power made a bid!

“Hmm?” Xu Ming couldn’t help but frown—this seemed to be somewhat different from what he had expected!

The auctioneer also looked around in surprise, and couldn’t help but remind, “Everyone, you can bid now!”

A place to enter the Tower of Immortality, priced at ten million high-grade Chaos Origin Crystals, should be said to be not expensive! After all, a place in the Tower of Immortality is worth that much!

However, why was no one bidding?

Under the auctioneer’s reminder, there was a slight commotion in the auction house, but it quickly calmed down—still no one bid.

“This…” Xu Ming frowned tightly.

The auctioneer asked several times, but indeed no one made any more bids. In the end, he could only helplessly announce: “This auction… has failed!”

Yes!

Failed!

The auction was supposed to auction eleven places in total; but now, even the first place could not be sold, so there was naturally nothing to auction after that.

“Brother Ming?” Lone Gun Guest and Yun Tian both looked at Xu Ming.

“Xu Ming!” the auctioneer transmitted his voice, “Look… do you want to slightly lower the starting price?”

“Lower the starting price?” Xu Ming was hesitating.

Suddenly, a contemptuous voice rang out in the auction house: “True Self Auction House, and Xu Ming, you don’t have to bother! —Even if you lower the starting price to one million high-grade Chaos Origin Crystals, no one will buy it!”

This contemptuous sneer came from an old man in green robes.

“Old Fool!” The auctioneer looked in that direction, “What do you mean by that?”

“Hahahaha…” Old Fool laughed loudly, “Does this still need explaining? Well, since no one wants to break this paper window, then let me speak frankly!”

Old Fool’s voice resounded throughout the entire True Self Auction House: “Xu Ming, you should be in the auction house, right?”

“I am!” Xu Ming coldly said one word.

“Haha…” Old Fool continued, “You did indeed obtain the Immortal Sword, that’s right! It’s just… with your little strength, how can you protect the Immortal Sword? I’m afraid that as soon as you leave Dao Death City, the Immortal Sword will change hands! In that case, who would be willing to spend the price to buy a place?”

Old Fool paused, and then said: “Even… don’t even mention leaving Dao Death City! Even within this Dao Death City, you may not be safe!”

“Hahahahaha…” In the auction house, many great powers laughed meaningfully.

Within Dao Death City, it is indeed strictly forbidden to fight, that’s right!

However, for the top Nirvana Realm experts, they can also find ways to attack Xu Ming! —For example, some top Nirvana Realm experts have Nirvana Realm slaves under their command; they only need to order the Nirvana Realm slaves to attack Xu Ming at all costs, and they can probably kill Xu Ming in an instant. In that case, wouldn’t Xu Ming’s Immortal Sword fall into their hands?

At least… many top Nirvana Realm experts thought so.

“Xu Ming!” Old Fool continued, “If Domain Lord Pan Tian were still around, with his face, he would be able to protect you! But now… I advise you, your best choice is not to sell the places, but to directly sell the Immortal Sword!”

Whoever has the Immortal Sword in their hands will have a much greater advantage after entering the Tower of Immortality! Therefore, the experts present are not here for the places, but directly for the Immortal Sword in Xu Ming’s hands!

“Sell the Immortal Sword?” Xu Ming smiled.

Xu Ming certainly knew that the Immortal Sword, which was so coveted by all parties, was definitely not a simple thing! How could he easily sell it?

“Forget it!” Xu Ming got up and walked towards the outside of the auction house, “I won’t auction the places to enter the Tower of Immortality! When the time comes, whoever wants them can come and beg me!”

Although Xu Ming was in urgent need of Enhancement Points, it wasn’t like he had no other way to earn them!
