Chapter 358: Raising Fame in the Heavenly Realm

After arriving in Pojun City, Pearl did not leave immediately. It was her first time in the Demon Realm, and there was no way she could explore such a large city in just a few days.
Ye Feng took the opportunity to release Long Yue and the others from the Liuluan Hall, allowing them to spend time with Pearl. After all, wherever Pearl went, Zi Ji Zunzhe followed like a shadow, so he wasn’t worried about their safety at all.
Over the next few days, he gave Tie Niu some guidance on how to use energy. By now, he had almost mastered the Ning Character Mantra and had reached an extremely high level in energy control—so high that few in the entire Heavenly Realm could compare.
At the same time, he retrieved his Ultimate Rank Puppet and began using his true form. He also started counting the spoils from that day.
The more than twenty Ultimate Rank warriors killed that day possessed vast wealth. There were nearly 100,000 top-quality magic crystals alone, with nearly 2 million high-grade magic crystals as well. It should be noted that Ultimate Rank warriors consume enormous amounts of energy. A single high-grade magic crystal can restore an early-stage Ultimate Rank warrior’s full energy, while later-stage or peak-level warriors require nearly 10 high-grade magic crystals to replenish their energy. Moreover, high-grade magic crystals are the primary currency used by Ultimate Rank warriors in the Demon Realm, so each of them had at least tens of thousands in stock, with those four peak-level warriors having hundreds of thousands each.
Although high-grade magic crystals can be used to replenish energy, they cannot be used to advance in cultivation. At the Ultimate Rank, the fastest way to improve one’s cultivation level is by absorbing energy from top-quality magic crystals. Apart from obtaining them from high-quality mineral veins, there is no other way. This is why most of the twenty-plus warriors only had a few thousand top-quality magic crystals. Only those four peak-level warriors each had nearly 20,000, with the highest having 23,000. In total, the twenty-plus warriors had around 100,000. Peak-level magic warriors could accumulate so many because top-quality magic crystals couldn’t help them reach new cultivation levels or be used for training, so they simply stored them.
There were also medium-grade and low-grade magic crystals, but in smaller quantities.
In addition to magic crystals, Ye Feng obtained a large amount of material for refining weapons and pills, as well as finished magic weapons and pills.

Among the materials for crafting weapons, there are nearly a dozen divine realm materials, and among the materials for making pills, there are also several divine-grade plant materials. Among the finished magical weapons, there are over a dozen low-grade divine weapons and two medium-grade divine weapons. As for the pills, in addition to hundreds of top-grade magical realm pills, there are also a few dozen divine-grade pills.

Of course, there are also some secret manuals, but Ye Feng certainly doesn’t value such things anymore.

“It took so much effort to organize all these items. What should I do with them?” Ye Feng frowned slightly. In his opinion, only a few of these rings were useful. Even those low-grade and medium-grade divine weapons were of little use except as gifts. However, since they had been used by people from the Magical Realm, they carried a strong negative energy, so Ye Feng didn’t dare give them to people like Long Yue casually. He preferred to exchange them for divine weapons used by powerful beings from the Immortal Realm. But aside from his own set of divine weapons, the Purple Extreme Venerable only had a couple more divine weapons, and they weren’t very useful to him either.

Ye Feng thought about throwing them away in the Void Realm, but a notice posted all over the city that day gave him another idea.

“The Extreme Auction…” Ye Feng glanced at the notice posted by the city guards on the wall. “With so many notices, is this auction really that big?”

“Mm, the Extreme Auction is the largest auction in the Magical Realm. It takes place once every hundred years in the main city of the Magical Realm,” said Tie Niu, who had been cultivating in the background, opening his eyes. “It lasts for ten days each time, during which they select the thousand most valuable items for auction, with 100 items being auctioned each day. Without this limit, there would probably be millions of items to auction each time.”

“It sounds quite exciting,” Ye Feng became slightly interested. To him, the person who came up with the idea of limited auctions was quite interesting. “But what about the items other than those thousand? Must there be other ways to sell them?”

“That’s right. For some highly valuable items, they use a backroom sales method. This is because some powerful and influential people have privileges during the auction. They inform the auction venue in advance of what they need. If someone wants to auction those items, they notify the buyer and arrange the transaction directly behind the scenes. For other items, they can use street vending, renting space at the auction venue to sell on their own. That’s why the Extreme Auction is always bustling,” Tie Niu nodded.

“The mid-tier divine artifacts and divine-grade pills in your hands now might attract people who want to buy them through backdoor deals. But you can choose to refuse such offers. Generally, those who opt for backdoor sales are not very strong and fear trouble if they refuse. Backdoor sales are also safer than auctions. However, your name has already spread throughout the Demon Realm in recent days; it’s likely that even the major cities in the Immortal Realm and the Fiend Realm know of your deeds. There probably won’t be anyone daring to cause you trouble. Besides, auction prices are usually higher than those in backdoor sales, so I personally don’t recommend it.”

“Indeed, many of these items are of little use to me. Auctioning them will surely yield a good amount of magic crystals.” Ye Feng nodded and turned to Tie Niu. “Tie Niu, I see you don’t have any equipment. Do you want to choose a mid-tier divine artifact from me?”

“No need. I’m a physical cultivator, as you should know well.” Tie Niu shook his head, showing no interest. “My attack and defense must come from my own body. Moreover, the strength of my body is already close to that of a lower-tier divine artifact, and it won’t be long before it reaches mid-tier divine artifact levels.”

“Your cultivation method is indeed unique. Given time to perfect it, you’ll surely achieve great things.” Ye Feng gave Tie Niu a meaningful look. Although he hadn’t seen Tie Niu’s cultivation method, he understood quite well his current energy circulation pattern. The person who created that method must be a natural genius.

Tie Niu said nothing more. He wasn’t greedy and understood that everyone had their own unique circumstances. Dao Feng’s fate was beyond his comparison, while his own fate was envied by many.

“The auction is starting in ten days. Let’s pack up today and set off tomorrow!” Ye Feng gazed at the announcement in the distance.

By now, news about Dao Feng had reached every corner of the Demon Realm.

“What? Using peak Absolute Tier strength to confront Zi Ji Xianzun?”

“Killed over twenty Absolute Tier warriors??? Three of them were at peak Absolute Tier?”

“With such strength, even if all those hidden cultivators were combined, he could still rank among the top, right?”

Discussions about Dao Feng sparked a frenzy.

“He didn’t fall behind at all in the fight against that old guy Zi Wuji?” An old man in gray robes wore a strange smile on his face.

“Strangely, I’ve never heard of this guy named Dao Feng before; he seems to have appeared out of nowhere!” said a tall man in golden armor, frowning slightly.
“Besides Dao Feng and Zi Wuji, there are two more semi-godly powerhouses in Pojun City…” said a young man in black robes with a smile, “Our third Demon Emperor has been replaced without us even realizing it…”
“Two semi-godly powerhouses?” Both the old man in gray robes and the man in golden armor looked at him in surprise.
“Yeah. I happened to be in Jidu City that day and sensed some disturbance on the continent where Pojun City is located, so I used my mental power to investigate,” nodded the man in black robes. “The guy who took on the appearance of the third Demon Emperor is a semi-godly powerhouse, but the pet he has with him is at the peak of the semi-godly realm. That pet is even stronger than me and detected my investigation instantly, forcing me to withdraw right away.”
“Could it be the Fiend Realm?” asked the old man in gray robes in a low voice.
“No. That aura is many times more brutal than that of the Supreme Fiend Lord of the Fiend Realm. The same goes for that human,” said the young man in black robes, his brows tightly furrowed.
“Could it be…” All three lowered their heads, deep in thought, and fell silent.
Meanwhile, turmoil also arose in the Immortal Realm and the Fiend Realm.
“What? Zi Ji, the Supreme Immortal, used his third palm strike, and he actually managed to block it without any damage?” asked a powerful man wearing a purple-gold crown, his face filled with shock.
“This isn’t a rumor. I’ve already confirmed it with Zi Wuji, and he admitted it too,” said another middle-aged man in golden robes, his expression serious.
“Jin Hong, are you really sure about the truth of this?” asked an old man with white hair and beard beside him, looking at him with a questioning gaze.
“Of course. As soon as I heard the news yesterday, I immediately contacted Brother Wuji. I originally thought the rumors were exaggerated. After all, I know the power of Brother Wuji’s third palm strike. It’s possible he could block it, but to come out unharmed is terrifying. But after Brother Wuji confirmed it, that guy indeed blocked that strike without any injury,” nodded the middle-aged man in golden robes.
“Haven’t we heard of this guy named Dao Feng before? How did such a powerful warrior suddenly appear in the Demon Realm?” The old man with white hair stroked his beard, shaking his head in frustration and sighing.
“Anyway, let the spies from the Demon Realm gather all information about him and see if they can find anything,” said the man with the purple-gold crown seriously.

Above an endless ocean lay a solitary island, with a gigantic golden bird circling above it before finally landing. On the island, a massive wolf crouched, gazing at the sea, ignoring the giant bird that had landed not far away.

A deep roar came from the sea, followed by a spray of water as a huge tail rose high, revealing an enormous head—it was an ancient giant whale.

“He’s here. Have you all heard about that human?” A voice like thunder instantly filled the space, coming from the sea.

“Yes. If the rumors are true, that guy named Blade is indeed very powerful!” the wolf said, its eyes devoid of any emotion.

“The rumors are true. I’ve received news from my clan. On the day of the incident, a member of our clan with supreme skills was in Mojiie Pojun City. He transformed into a hummingbird and witnessed everything from afar,” the giant bird nodded.

“Humans can suddenly produce such a strong warrior. Even if we intervene personally, it will likely be difficult to kill him,” the giant whale’s voice echoed through the skies.

“Indeed. I’ve fought against the Purple Extreme Sage before—his title as the First Immortal Sage isn’t unfounded,” the wolf continued. “Even with my innate powers, I can only fight him to a draw at best.”

“Enough. Since we couldn’t eliminate him in time, it’s too late now.” The giant whale’s voice carried a hint of helplessness. “Add him to the list of extremely dangerous individuals and tell our clan members to avoid him at all costs to prevent trouble.”
