The elder Ming Yun, seeing that no one offered any explanation for the broken spear, directly revealed the spear's information. In Chen Tai’s mind, at the center of the auction, there was a broken spear. The left side was a silver spearhead and shaft, while the right side was a golden shaft and handle. If the entire spear were assembled, it would be about eight chi long. A spear, an inch longer is an inch stronger; the longer the spear, the stronger it is to wield, especially for spear cultivators.
The spearhead was made of an unknown silver metal, and Chen Tian’s eyes could not glean any information from it. It seemed the material used to craft the spearhead was extremely precious and rare. Chen Tian’s Divine Eyes could not provide any information. The level of his Divine Eyes had been unable to keep up as Chen Tian’s strength grew. Chen Tian wished that his Divine Eyes could be upgraded. Peculiar patterns were wrapped around the silver spearhead, and faintly, a character could be seen within the spearhead: "Mie" (灭).
Upon seeing this, Chen Tian looked at the other half. A character appeared inside the spear shaft: "Tian" (天). Chen Tian felt that these two characters must be related, especially since the weapon contained the character "Tian." This weapon was undoubtedly of extraordinary origin. Among cultivators, "Tian" represented the Heavenly Dao, the pinnacle of the entire world. A weapon with the character "Tian" implied that its creator was on the same level as the Heavenly Dao. Elder Ming Yun then projected a video.
Chen Tian watched the video on the screen. Did the Myriad Realms Auction also do this?
Chen Tian was all too familiar with this situation. The origin of this spear slowly unfolded from the video.
"I was once the most powerful Forgemaster on the continent. I wished to forge divine weapons and instruments for the Heavenly Dao according to its will. This spear is the most powerful weapon I forged. Before my death, I was able to craft such a formidable divine weapon, and I have no regrets."
"Alas, the world collapsed, and the weapon became masterless. The Heavenly Dao was incomplete and could not exert its full strength. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao split it into two parts, one named 'Mie' and the other named 'Tian.' I became 'Mie,' and the Heavenly Dao became 'Tian,' mutually restraining each other."
"The world was destroyed, and we, in our slumber, drifted through the universe. We wandered for countless eons and worlds, devoid of any consciousness. Wear and tear befell us, and we could not hold on until someone capable of wielding this weapon appeared."
The video ended here, depicting the life of a Forgemaster. Seeing the Forgemaster in the video reminded Chen Tian of that old undying being. He wondered who was stronger between his forging skills and the Forgemaster in the video. Chen Tian had not forgotten his promise to the other party. He opened his hands, and a damaged, riddled triangular structure appeared in his palm.
The cultivators who had watched the video put away their disdain for the spear. The information derived from the video about this spear was that it was a weapon of the Heavenly Dao, imbued with its power. This was the power of the Heavenly Dao!
The power of a world. Indeed, each item in the Dark Realm Auction was more powerful than the last. Then, someone spoke, inquiring, "May I ask the starting price for this spear's auction?"
"We do not intend to auction this weapon with Dark Realm currency. As the previous video stated, this weapon will find its own master. Therefore, all those present who wish to claim it will engage in a barter. Rest assured, the Dark Realm Auction will not make things difficult for you. The items exchanged will be chosen from our listed table."
"Now, everyone can release their aura. If this weapon feels a connection with you, it will autonomously recognize its master. It still possesses some fragmented consciousness."
Elder Ming Yun was helpless. None of the cultivators present met the requirements. Otherwise, they would have kept the weapon themselves. It was truly difficult for it to find a master.
This auction was primarily to clear out items that had been unused for a long time, as they were simply taking up space.
All the cultivators unleashed their auras towards the spear, but the broken spear remained unresponsive. One by one, people looked disappointed; it seemed they did not meet the criteria.
In Chen Tian's room, a phantom figure floated out from his hand. It was an elder. The elder looked at Chen Tian and then spoke, "Chen Tian, I have sensed the aura of the highest-level divine weapon I created in my previous life. Where are you?"
"Ah? You old undying being, you mean that thing was forged by you?"
Chen Tian and the elder looked. Upon seeing the spear at the center of the auction, the elder spoke with a hint of nostalgia, "It is it, it is it, my greatest masterpiece."
"Old fellow, what exactly is going on?"
"As I said, this spear was created by a clone of my previous life. When you reach my level, you will understand why. However, you are different from me; you are reincarnation, while I am a clone. It can be said that at our level, we have clones in various planes across the myriad realms."
"We, the main bodies, are aware of the actions of each of our clones. After this clone created this weapon, there was no further contact. Originally, I thought this weapon had perished along with the destruction of the world."
"Chen Tian, you can acquire this item; it will undoubtedly be of great help to you."
The elder looked excited. Chen Tian shrugged his shoulders, "Not interested. In this life, I only favor dual sabers. I am not skilled with spears. However, this item would be quite good for Shu Zi or Wu Que Nan."
Chen Tian asked the elder how to recognize the master. The elder released a trace of his aura, which coiled around Chen Tian's arm, and then the phantom dissipated.
Long-distance communication consumed too much energy. Chen Tian looked at the aura on his arm, condensed it into a thin line, and sent it towards the weapon. In a private room on the third floor, Qing Yun looked at the spear, his eyes flashing with a cold glint. The spear at the center of the auction trembled violently, then transformed into two beams of light that shot off in different directions.
Chen Tian and Qing Yun looked at each other's rooms, stunned. Could this weapon recognize two masters simultaneously?
Chen Tian looked at the spearhead in his hand. It was only four chi long; it was not the complete form. According to the old undying being, if this item could not be reunited, its power would only be forty percent.
Qing Yun himself did not know what was happening. He looked at the spear handle in his hand, on which was engraved "Tian."
Chen Tian's half was engraved with "Mie." The full name of the weapon was "Mie Tian!"
When the spear is drawn, the Heavenly Dao is extinguished!
The spear contained immense Heavenly Dao power. Chen Tian and Qing Yun could clearly sense it, with each of them possessing half.
The entire auction was silent. Eyes were increasingly focused on Qing Yun. Qing Yun had previously purchased the Divine Armor, and now he had also recognized the master of this weapon, making many unwilling to let him go.
In his room, Qing Yun felt a headache. This was a serious problem. Whether he could leave the Dark Realm was now uncertain.
Qing Yun had an idea, but he needed to wait until after the auction to execute it. He believed that the other party would not refuse his request.
Chen Tian looked at Qing Yun. Why could Qing Yun recognize the master? Chen Tian could recognize the master because that old undying being had intertwined his aura with Chen Tian's. The aura of the old undying being's clone was the same as his main body, so this weapon mistakenly recognized Chen Tian as its master.
But why did Qing Yun recognize the master?
"It seems I need to ask that old fellow about this unexpected occurrence."
Chen Tian wanted to contact him but found that he had no way to do so. Chen Tian had to figure out the reason himself. Chen Tian wanted to discuss it with Qing Yun, as the weapon could only unleash its full power when united.
A bamboo tree of confusion, with fruits of confusion, you and I beneath the confused tree!
Ming Yun and everyone else were dumbfounded. This was the first time they had heard of a weapon recognizing two masters simultaneously. They had never heard of such a thing.
Elder Ming Yun said calmly, "Please, the two gentlemen, wait in your rooms for a moment after the auction ends. We will allow the two gentlemen to choose the items we require after the auction concludes."
Ming Yun did not worry that Chen Tian and Qing Yun would renege on their deal. The Dark Realm Auction was not afraid of such things; it was difficult to leave the Dark Realm Auction once you were inside.
Chen Tian and Qing Yun had no such intentions. It was best not to offend the Dark Realm Auction, as it was presided over by the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao.
Offending them would make activities in the Dark Realm somewhat difficult.
