Chen Tian asked the system. From the beginning, Chen Tian had not felt the presence of the Heavenly Dao of the Dark Realm, as if it did not exist. Without a Heavenly Dao, how could this world form its order?
"The Heavenly Dao of this world cannot be perceived by the host's current senses. It is similar to what the host previously observed regarding the tunnel connecting planes."
"System, could it be that your consciousness is..."
"That's right, just as the host thought. From now on, it depends on the host. This system has a lot of work to do, so I'm leaving for now."
Chen Tian's face darkened. This unreliable system!
Chen Tian had no choice but to find the Heavenly Dao himself. At least the system had given him a clue. Chen Tian was a man of action. Chen Feng's injuries could not be delayed for more than a few days. He had to find the item to heal him within these days, otherwise, even if he recovered, his strength would not be what it was before.
Chen Tian did not want this. His figure flashed, and he left the room. Chen Tian stood in front of the passage to the Phantom Demon Continent. The passage instantly opened. Chen Tian did not enter. Chen Tian closed his eyes, and a beam of light shot out from the center of his forehead, entering the vortex. A dizzying sensation spread, and Chen Tian's figure appeared in a pitch-black space.
"Kid, you are the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao. Do you know the consequences of your actions just now?"
A vague and ethereal voice echoed. The pitch-black space was devoid of any aura. Chen Tian looked around the darkness and said, "My apologies for the offense just now. It was out of desperation. I wanted to know some things. Since the Heavenly Dao is scattered across the world, I could only think of this method to gather you all."
"Kid, speak, what is it? I still need to maintain the balance between the passages and don't have much time to chat with you here."
"I want to know if the medicinal ingredients for the Condensing Heart Ice Sea Pill exist in the Dark Realm?"
Chen Tian said it calmly. Chen Tian faced the Heavenly Dao neither servile nor overbearing, but his tone was slightly weaker. Chen Tian was merely the spokesperson for the Heavenly Dao; this was the true Heavenly Dao, a Heavenly Dao of a plane even higher than the Divine Realm.
The Heavenly Dao's voice sounded, "These things are very common in the Dark Realm. If you came to me just for this, then let's end it here."
"The Dark Realm auction has the information you want."
Chen Tian was about to speak when he reacted and appeared in front of the vortex. The vortex began to shrink. Chen Tian knew the Heavenly Dao did not want to talk to him, but thankfully, he had gotten the information. The Dark Realm auction, huh?
It seemed Chen Tian had to make a trip.
The Dark Realm was vast. Chen Tian bought a map in a city. There were many auction houses in the Dark Realm, and Chen Tian was not sure which one would have the whereabouts of the item he wanted.
Chen Tian could only attend them one by one and bid for them. He had to be fast these few days.
A vortex appeared in front of Chen Tian. Chen Tian stepped into it. Chen Tian needed to hurry. After stepping into the vortex and walking out again, he had already arrived in another city.
Chen Tian looked at the city before him. It was called Black Domain City, and there was an auction house here called the Black Domain Auction House. Chen Tian had come for it.
"I hope they have what I'm looking for here."
Several of the ingredients needed to make the Condensing Heart Ice Sea Pill were common in the Divine Realm, while a few were non-existent. Even if they were, they only appeared once every tens of thousands of years. Chen Tian could not wait that long. The Dark Realm, being a plane more advanced than the Divine Realm, had even richer resources.
This was also why the Dark Realm was a world connecting planes; its resources were universal throughout all the myriad worlds.
Chen Tian entered the city and headed towards the auction house. The Black Domain Auction House had a very strange style. The architecture was dark, and the aura within was even more eerie, making one wonder if it was really an auction house.
Which auction house would be designed like this, deliberately scaring customers away?
Chen Tian entered the auction house, and a beam of light suddenly appeared, revealing a different scene before Chen Tian's eyes. Chen Tian looked at the large door behind him; it was a hidden world within.
The interior of the Black Domain Auction House was a small world. This Black Domain Auction House had a grand reach.
"Esteemed guest, are you here to bid or to auction items?"
A clear voice sounded. A young girl in a rabbit costume stood before Chen Tian. Chen Tian said calmly, "I wish to bid. Are there any conditions?"
"Yes, the lowest bidding price at the Black Domain Auction House is three thousand Black Domain Coins, and the highest is thirty million Black Domain Coins. Black Domain Coins are the exclusive currency of the Black Domain Auction House. Esteemed guest, you can place your assets here, and they will be automatically converted into Black Domain Coins."
Chen Tian waved his hand, and a bag of gold coins landed on the table. The gold coins were quickly swallowed by the table, and then two bags of Black Domain Coins appeared.
"Esteemed guest, according to the world exchange rate, a total of six thousand seven hundred Black Domain Coins."
Chen Tian nodded.
The Dark Realm connected different planes and worlds, and the currencies used varied. Therefore, every auction house used a currency exchange method to convert the currency of different worlds into their own. As for the secrets behind this, Chen Tian did not know.
Chen Tian had never encountered the conversion of currency from different worlds, nor did he want to know. In any case, he would not be short of money.
Chen Tian was led by the girl to a private room. Only those with a net worth exceeding five thousand Black Domain Coins could enter this room, belonging to the big shot level.
The items auctioned at the Black Domain Auction House were not expensive, so few people bid here.
The private rooms near Chen Tian were all empty. Chen Tian asked the girl to leave the room and watched the entire auction house panorama by himself.
Below was a sea of people. Building pavilions within a small secret realm, the Black Domain Auction House was excellent at receiving guests.
Chen Tian chose the Black Domain Auction House first for a reason.
First, the Black Domain Auction House was the closest to him. Second, if the item Chen Tian needed was at the Black Domain Auction House, it would save him time later.
Chen Tian wanted to see if his luck was still effective at this time.
At the Black Domain Auction House, an old man slowly walked to the center and said, "Welcome to the Black Domain Auction House. The list of items to be auctioned today is on your displays. I will not go into further detail. Now, let's present the first item!"
Without any preamble, the auction began. A screen appeared before Chen Tian. Chen Tian looked at the items on the screen. Chen Tian recognized half of the things on this screen.
Even items from the Divine Realm were among them. It seemed that the medicinal ingredients of all the myriad worlds were universal. He just didn't know if the pills and pill recipes were the same.
Chen Tian glanced at it and scrolled down. Soon, his eyes lit up. He had found what he was looking for.
"It seems my luck is very good. Three items are being auctioned here, so only the last two medicinal ingredients remain."
The corners of Chen Tian's mouth curved. His luck was truly great, encountering them so quickly.
It had come without any effort!
He had to bid for them.
"First item, armor: Protective Armor. This armor can protect the wearer's life. When subjected to a fatal blow, it will negate the fatal damage. The cultivation realm required is: Second Realm. The starting bid is one thousand Black Domain Coins. Each bid increase must be no less than one hundred Black Domain Coins."
