Chapter 522
🕑 Added 2025-05-03 04:00:06 +0000 UTC"All weapons, armaments, and rare treasures combined were sold for a total of forty-two thousand Chaos Stones."
Lin Yuan returned to the inn, feeling slightly relaxed.
Forty-two thousand Chaos Stones, purchasing that golden box should not be a problem.
The base price of the golden box is thirty thousand Chaos Stones, and without knowing its origin, even a Chaos Venerable would not spend thirty thousand Chaos Stones to buy it.
Although the Chaos Venerable can condense Chaos Stones from the endless Chaos Void, it still requires effort.
Thirty thousand Chaos Stones is nothing for a Chaos Venerable, but buying a golden box of unknown quality, which might be worthless? The Chaos Venerable is wealthy but not foolish.
If it weren't for the golden box having fluctuations of Chaos realm energy inside, it probably wouldn't have made it onto the Thousand Treasures Festival list.
"Perhaps by purchasing that golden box, I could still have some Chaos Stones left to buy other treasures," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Apart from the golden box, many of the treasures listed in the Thousand Treasures Record were quite appealing to Lin Yuan.
Of course, it was just an interest; the golden box was the main focus.
Very soon.
The Mingchuan City Thousand Treasures Festival was successfully held.
"So many rank twelve powerful beings." Lin Yuan arrived at the Thousand Treasures Tower, the venue for the Thousand Treasures Festival.
Lin Yuan had arrived a bit early and still found a large number of rank twelve powerful beings, though the vast majority were Path-Clearing realm, with very few Dominance realm, and none in the Chaos realm.
"Indeed, what kind of existence is a Chaos Venerable?"
On the Guming Chaos continent, Chaos Venerables occasionally pass by, but only occasionally; most of the time, they are absent.
When a Chaos Venerable passes by, the Guming Venerable must appear to receive them.
At this moment, Lin Yuan casually walked into the Thousand Treasures Tower, subtly exuding the aura of a Path-Clearing realm peak.
A Path-Clearing realm peak is already considered a strong individual among the many rank twelve beings present, second only to those in the Dominance realm.
"Stay a bit away, that person should be a Path-Clearing realm peak."
"Many Path-Clearing realm peaks are just one step away from breaking into the Dominance realm; we must not provoke them."
"Better not get too close."
The rank twelve beings whispered, as in the Chaos Void, strength is paramount. Outside places like the Guming Chaos continent, which have order constraints, it's every weak for itself.
Therefore, any rank twelve being that has survived is very cautious, avoiding not only provoking strong beings but even approaching them, eliminating any possibility of offending or colliding.
Lin Yuan casually found a hall to sit in. The interior of the Thousand Treasures Tower was extremely spacious, allowing each participant to have their own independent hall.
"With my strength as a Path-Clearing realm peak, securing a treasure worth thirty thousand Chaos Stones should be no problem," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
On the Guming Chaos continent, anyone can purchase treasures here, protected by the Guming Venerable, and no one dares to act recklessly.
But outside the Guming Chaos continent, that's not necessarily the case.
This was why Lin Yuan exuded the aura of a Path-Clearing realm peak.
If a Path-Clearing realm beginner purchased that golden box, it might attract the attention of malicious individuals, leading to unwanted thoughts.
But a Path-Clearing realm peak?
They would have to consider if it's worth it.
To kill and steal from a Path-Clearing realm peak would require deploying Dominance realm experts, which is no small price.
Just for an unknown golden box? Dominance realm experts have better targets for plunder.
Time passed.
The Thousand Treasures Festival was about to begin.
Lin Yuan sat in the hall, observing the surrounding auras.
"Over forty Dominance realm experts," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Among these forty Dominance realm experts, three had auras subtly reaching the peak of the Dominance realm, approaching the level of Senior 'Cang Weiyang.'
"Ladies and gentlemen."
In the center of the Thousand Treasures Tower, a silver-haired woman appeared. Subtle dragon scales emerged on her face, clearly indicating an extraordinary bloodline. Many experts in the Chaos Void have bloodlines of various chaotic beasts flowing through them.
"Dominance realm."
Lin Yuan's expression became slightly solemn. The silver-haired woman's aura was strong, clearly that of a Dominance realm expert.
"This Thousand Treasures Festival is hosted by me."
The silver-haired woman spoke briefly, directly taking out a bracelet-shaped secret treasure.
"A defensive secret treasure for Path-Clearing realm peaks. When worn, it will automatically activate in dangerous situations, capable of blocking attacks from a Path-Clearing realm peak for ten breaths."
The silver-haired woman quickly explained while beginning to reveal the aura of the bracelet secret treasure.
After a moment.
The silver-haired woman continued, "Starting bid one hundred Chaos Stones, with each bid increasing by no less than ten Chaos Stones."
Normally, the price of Path-Clearing realm secret treasures ranges from tens to hundreds of Chaos Stones. This bracelet secret treasure could start at one hundred Chaos Stones for two reasons: first, it is indeed a top-grade item; second, it is guaranteed by the Thousand Treasures Tower.
The Thousand Treasures Tower is an official force on the Guming Chaos continent, and all treasures sold here come with relevant endorsements, eliminating the possibility of fraud.
Therefore, treasures at the Thousand Treasures Festival are priced slightly higher than usual, but as long as they are genuine and of guaranteed quality, many experts are willing to purchase them.
"One hundred and twenty Chaos Stones."
"One hundred and fifty Chaos Stones."
"One hundred and eighty Chaos Stones."
Before long, the bracelet secret treasure reached a price of two hundred Chaos Stones.
Two hundred Chaos Stones already falls into the category of top-grade Path-Clearing realm secret treasures. The bracelet secret treasure is indeed good but not as excellent as top-grade Path-Clearing realm secret treasures, so fewer experts bid at this point.
Soon.
This bracelet secret treasure was sold for two hundred and ten Chaos Stones.
One by one, treasures were presented, sparking repeated contests among the many rank twelve beings present.
Lin Yuan did not make a move. Before the golden box appeared, he had to save all his Chaos Stones.
The Thousand Treasures Festival proceeded rapidly.
It quickly concluded the competition for Dominance realm treasures.
Next came the Chaos realm tier treasures.
Suddenly, dozens of Dominance realm experts in the arena perked up.
They had come for this moment.
"Golden box, contains fluctuations of Chaos realm energy inside, suspected to be a Chaos realm treasure, starting bid thirty thousand Chaos Stones."
The silver-haired woman took out a mottled golden box, her voice echoing throughout the venue.
For a moment, the surroundings fell silent.
Those ordinary Path-Clearing realm experts, though curious about the golden box, couldn't afford so many Chaos Stones.
As for Dominance realm experts, their targets were the Chaos realm treasures behind, and they had no interest in this golden box either.
Seeing that many experts had no reaction, the silver-haired woman continued, "This golden box is made of extremely mysterious material; ordinary Chaos realm attacks cannot destroy it."
After explaining for a while.
The silver-haired woman sighed inwardly, "Still no one wants it?"
The golden box had appeared in more than one Thousand Treasures Festival, starting with a base price of one hundred thousand Chaos Stones and now reduced to thirty thousand Chaos Stones.
Just as the silver-haired woman was about to put away the golden box and introduce the next treasure, a hesitant voice came from the front hall.
"Thirty thousand Chaos Stones."
The silver-haired woman looked towards the source of the voice coming from a nearby hall. A smile immediately appeared on her face, "Thirty thousand Chaos Stones, is there anyone else interested?"
"A Path-Clearing realm peak expert has bought this box of unknown origin?"
"Thirty thousand Chaos Stones, indeed worthy of a Path-Clearing realm peak."
"He should just be curious about the box; otherwise, he wouldn't have placed such a high bid at the end."
Inside the Thousand Treasures Tower, the rank twelve experts whispered among themselves. It wasn't unusual for a Path-Clearing realm peak to spend thirty thousand Chaos Stones.
"Since that's the case, this golden box belongs to you."
The silver-haired woman immediately put away the golden box and began introducing the next treasure.
All treasures purchased at the Thousand Treasures Festival would be delivered to their respective owners after the assembly concluded.
"Received."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
Originally, he was worried that some Path-Clearing realm peak or even Dominance realm experts might compete with him.
But now, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Indeed.
Thirty thousand Chaos Stones is not a small amount. A Chaos Venerable can easily afford it, but Dominance realm experts would be reluctant.
The Thousand Treasures Festival continued.
Lin Yuan also proceeded to purchase several treasures worth hundreds to thousands of Chaos Stones.
Finally, the Thousand Treasures Festival concluded successfully.
After the assembly ended, the silver-haired woman standing on the high platform did not leave but quietly watched the numerous experts.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my master has asked me to announce something."
The silver-haired woman spoke. Her master is the Guming Venerable, the ruler of the Guming Chaos continent.
"Announce something?"
"What kind of announcement?"
"An announcement from the Guming Venerable?"
Many experts' expressions changed slightly, with some feeling uneasy, thinking of the recent tense situation on the Guming Chaos continent.
"Next, my master will initiate the relocation of the Chaos continent, leaving this area," the silver-haired woman announced.
"Relocation?"
"Why relocate?"
The experts were puzzled.
How large is the Guming Chaos continent? Initiating the relocation of such a continent would consume a significant amount of Chaos Stones.
"Soon, this area will become the battlefield of Shadowfiend Great Saint and Nine Phoenix Great Saint. The aftermath of their battle will spread to the surrounding areas, and everything will be destroyed."
The silver-haired woman explained.
"The battlefield of two Chaos Great Sages?" Lin Yuan's expression slightly changed.
Chaos Great Sages?
Battlefield?
"May I ask how large the coverage area of the aftermath from the battle of the two Chaos Great Sages is?"
A Dominance realm expert spoke up. His cave was nearby, and if what the silver-haired woman said was true, they would have to stay away to survive.
"Approximately this range."
The silver-haired woman raised her hand. A map of the Chaos Void appeared, with certain areas marked in red.
"This is troublesome."
Lin Yuan stared at the red-marked areas on the Chaos Void map. If the map's orientation was correct, his hometown universe was within the battlefield range of the two Chaos Great Sages.
"Remember, within this range, including the universes nurtured by the Chaos Void, everything will be destroyed. Enter the Great Destruction in advance. If you want to survive, you can apply to reside permanently in Mingchuan City."
The silver-haired woman continued.
She mentioned the universe to remind the many experts present not to have any illusions. Even the universe cannot withstand the aftermath of the two Great Sages' battles, let alone anything else.
"Universes will all be destroyed, enter the Great Destruction in advance?"
Lin Yuan's expression became solemn, realizing the severity of the situation.

When Lin Yuan enters the auction, I think "every weak for itself" is an error. Thanks for the chapter!
