Price drops below a million?

At the Xinyi Auction venue.

The final price was so conspicuous in the eyes of everyone in the audience.

Although the price reduction marketing strategy was extremely emotive, it could be said to be excellent.

The precipitous price cut, the shouts for benefits for "guests," are worth referencing.

But marketing is ultimately just a means to sell products.

The quality of the product is the primary factor.

At this time, anyone with common sense knows what this means.

If it was one or two, they could still think it was a loss leader for reputation.

But permanently at 980,000, this means: low cost.

The technology is already quite mature.

Even with the price pressed so low, there is enough profit margin.

Now, at the moment the price was announced, the whole venue was in an uproar, with sounds of gasping filling the air.

"Crazy! Crazy!"

Many family heads appeared astonished and quickly started notifying their families, spreading the information out.

This is going to be big.

And it's a change that hasn't happened in ten thousand years!

Voices continually came from the other end of the Communication Token:

"Auction, eternal growth Divine Weapon under a million, is this real?"

"This is impossible!"

"Then, what is the price to pay? There can't be a perfect thing."

"Whatever the cost, this low price already proves everything."

"This will change the entire industry."

"No, it will overturn all known human history!"

...

There was communication everywhere.

The guests who initially just came to watch the excitement had already taken out their Communication Tokens and even connected with the Communication Crystals to project the current auction scene to their family.

Soon, from the doors of the venue, various family Elders rushed from all over the Capital City, coming in one by one.

Just then.

Crack!

One after another, powerful figures strode in with an aura dominating Heaven and Earth.

Upon seeing these presences, no one could remain sitting. The person in charge of the Xinyi Auction jumped up incredulously, exclaiming:

"Why are those princes and nobles here?"

Those figures were precisely some of the non-royal princes of the Capital City!

However, they were different from the Nine Great State Kings with real power.

They had no territory to manage, no real power in their hands.

Some said it's because they were weaker, while others said these existences were not inferior to the Nine Great Continent Kings; they simply had no interest in power.

During that era, they followed their family, friends, and all those they followed were gone, leaving them alone, so they didn't want to settle in any territory.

The Nine Great Continent Kings who survived, who carved out their lands, did so because they needed to secure benefits for the armies that followed them.

These founding princes, who lost all their subordinates, might have been stronger back then!

Because they led their armies on even more brutal missions, joining forces to annihilate a terrifying existence, all their subordinates sacrificed themselves.

"Why are these non-royal princes here?"

The auction organizer, Xinyi Yu'Er, looked at Jian Xin. "This time, Jian Xin Tributator has done great work for our Xinyi Family!"

Jian Xin nodded, saying to the Sword Fairy, "Something big is going to happen. You guys stirred things up quite a bit."

The Sword Fairy secretly thought to herself, "It's been a while since I last contacted them, has our Sword Casting Manor mutated to such an absurd extent? To what level have they developed?"

She didn't know what that pitch-black metal material was.

However, during the previous battle in Xinyi Continent, atop the mysterious No-Life Sect Vice Sect Leader, she vaguely saw a group of goofball blacksmiths' style!

At that time, a terrifying idea formed in her heart:

"Our manor's people have matured to such an absurd extent; how did they transform into the One Heart Realm and attack the Continent City?"

According to the Sword Fairy's thinking, the manor should still be playing in the small map of Pingchang City.

She felt that even though it had only been a month or two without contact, the information was too outdated.

"After today, you guys might resonate throughout the world."

This Xinyi Yu'Er covered her mouth in a chuckle, her eyes twinkling like stars; those were the most noble figures in the Capital City.

These are legendary figures of the Nine-State, a few remaining founding heroes.

Though these individuals are more likely here to watch the spectacle, it's still very satisfying.

While Xinyi Yu'Er was still in delight, her joy quickly turned to shock.

Because even more terrifying presences entered the auction.

Outside the door, suddenly several figures in ancient attire walked in, silently taking their seats, yet no one dared to stop them.

They glanced at the non-royal princes and sat down.

"I heard there's some excitement, so I rushed to the Capital City, and it turns out to be quite interesting." A few ancient figures looked at the scene on the stage.

"What's your take on it?"

These ancient presences arrived together, coming from various tombs, ancient rulers, some even from historical times unknown to many Emperor's Tombs and Imperial Mausoleums.

They seemed to have known each other for a long time, discussing amongst themselves.

"The young people of this era are rare and amazed, shocked over a single Divine Weapon."

A slender man coughed twice, "But they are all young, basically not living past ten thousand years, naturally rarely seeing the changes of eras, weapons transforming from consumables to eternal growth... it's just a changeover of an era."

"Hehehe, these young ones sometimes even come to steal things from my home, truly odious and ignorant."

Another beautiful woman, holding a little girl, smiled:

"Last time, my house was visited by ten people and a dog. What were the rules? What murderous logic? It was all so baffling, watching my daily routines to find loopholes, trying to infiltrate my home."

"I killed all the people and tossed the dog to my children."

Another gentle boy, only about one meter and forty centimeters tall, spoke: "Existences like us, ancient legends hidden from the world, secluded without emerging, have seen countless dynastic changes, heroes rising and falling, with each era undergoing sudden transformations."

An old man spoke lightly: "If we had not witnessed this dynasty with our own eyes, how could we dare to believe that mortals without spiritual roots can cultivate? The weakest existence in the world becoming the new rulers of the earth?"

They, stand firm upon the river of time.

They, are the eternal pearls forgotten by time and years.

Some of them dwell beyond the wilderness of the Capital City, some reside within the secret realms of the Nine-State, some live in the Dragon Palace of the Abyss Sea.

They have witnessed many historical transitions, numerous transformations of civilization.

In their eyes, the Jiushui Dynasty is an unbelievable mythical era!

An unprecedented fierce individual has appeared in history.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, returning to their era, who would believe that in the future, it is the mud-legged farmers, the common people, who would rule and be able to cultivate?

They have seen many waves, so naturally they remain calm now!

Because if even the foundational concept of spiritual roots can be updated, what does the mere update of a magical artifact count as?

A new era has simply swept over.

"Next, let's introduce a little..."

In the steward's room, Immortal Aunt looked at the prominent figures sitting in the auction seats, taking a deep breath.

"Can I ask a question?"

Finally, in the audience seats, an ancient existence finally stood up.

Everyone looked toward him.

A white-haired man appeared, gentle and elegant, wearing a set of washed-out scholar's robes with wide sleeves, not of this era's attire.

"Please speak!"

Immortal Aunt nodded, a bit shocked inside.

Which prehistoric big shot is this, a prince from the previous dynasty, an ancient remnant, openly wandering the streets of the Capital City?

The white-haired man smiled: "What are the side effects of permanent divine weapons?"

Immortal Aunt did not hide, because there was nothing to hide: "The artifact spirits are embers, they all share the inherent flaws of embers!"

The white-haired man pondered for a few seconds:

"Would you be willing to work under me? In my opinion, this dynasty is likely coming to an end."

He spoke with hands behind his back, eloquently discussing, as if seeing through entire ancient and modern history:

"The first dynasty of an era often does not last long due to lack of experience. This era, having opened the technique of cultivating Three Flowers, is destined to be powerful yet short-lived. If you follow me, you shall be heroes of the new dynasty!"

"Later, if I establish a dynasty, opening the second dynasty, I will certainly learn from the various lessons and shortcomings of this initial dynasty, ensuring it is enduring and everlasting!"

"And you, as a founding hero, could become the court's first divine craftsman."

Ning Zheng, in the steward's room, watched as Immortal Aunt and Shao Chaikun "live-streamed" in front of the camera, his heart sinking deeply.

Even those old monsters have been drawn here!

And still casting grand delusions?

Openly conspiring rebellion?

Truly bold.

In the words of a blacksmith: these are all hosts of high-level BOSS dungeon secret realms.

They are not just guarding their secret realms, tombs, waiting for players to challenge... yet they run to the Capital City to join the fun.

And still do not consider themselves dead.

Think themselves merely remnants of a former dynasty, hiding in the shadows.

Occasionally coming to the Capital City for a stroll, still wanting to recruit troops, remnants from various previous dynasties, even older ones, still want to band together and prepare to rebel?

This... is somewhat defying the heavens!

Ning Zheng has understood the danger of this Capital City.

Who knows historically, how many of such surviving fish slipped through the net have accumulated? How many of those ancient epic grand tombs known to none?

And still coming to our manor's auction, wildly joining in the excitement!

Ning Zheng had a toothache.

The attention is too vast, a bit unbearable.

And those few non-royal princes said nothing, just quietly smiled watching this scene.

As if attending a teahouse opera, passing the time, but how could they be ignored?

Communicating with rebels in their presence?

This is seeking death.

At this time, Immortal Aunt evidently realized and said to the white-haired man: "Sorry, we only do sword casting business to serve the court."

"Serving the court, if we establish a new dynasty in the future, naturally we will also serve our new dynasty, right?"

The white-haired man smiled slightly and sat down again.

"We'll wait for you."

The beautiful woman holding a girl said lightly:

"I especially love skillful craftsmen, these wise people who open eras; they may not have the combat power to reach the sky, but possess the talent to change the era of innumerable beings."

Immortal Aunt remained silent, the other party was sowing discord.

Some surrounding cultivators also visibly changed their expressions, as even these insufferable ancient giants appeared one after another...

So many of them, perhaps never encountered in their lifetime.

Among them.

Many old faces and silhouettes were terrifying even to numerous cultivators.

Because when they ventured into secret realms, stealing items, they had been killed countless times by these secret realm owners.

Nearly killed to the point of psychological shadowing!

Now, even those with such overpowering prowess seemed interested.

Many couldn't stop from being shaken, like quails curling up in corners watching these great existences,

"This shows how powerful and transformative this weapon's proliferation is, indeed able to change eras."
