Gu Clan’s Secret Technique, God Seal Technique!
The Fire Spirit Pearl, born of heaven and earth and nurtured by the essence of Heavenly Flames, could eventually transform into a human form when fully cultivated. It was an incredibly rare existence across the entire Dou Qi Continent.
Years could pass without the appearance of a single Fire Spirit Pearl, which was why they were destined to become priceless treasures.
Each time one appeared, it inevitably triggered a bloody storm of conflict.
As soon as Ya Fei's words concluded, the crowd below immediately erupted into a frenzy of bidding. The competition was fierce and intense.
If they could obtain the Fire Spirit Pearl, not only would they gain immense fire attribute energy, but the pearl's unique material could shield them from all fire-based energies.
This would greatly enhance their chances of finding a Heavenly Flame in the future.
Gu Xun'er was also tempted. If she could acquire such a treasure, Xiao Yan's chances of finding a Heavenly Flame would increase significantly.
However, the Fire Spirit Pearl was best suited for those who practiced fire attribute techniques. For anyone else, using it could result in self-immolation.
But despite this risk, the greed in the hearts of these powerful figures could not be quelled. To them, the opportunity to increase their power was worth enduring even the agony of being burned alive.
Finally, a clear voice of a woman rang out from one of the private boxes on the third floor, offering an astronomical bid.
She successfully secured the Fire Spirit Pearl by offering three mid-level Earth-class techniques, a bid so astonishing that it drew curious glances from those who had initially been disappointed.
Three mid-level Earth-class techniques—this woman was clearly no ordinary figure. The Heaven Ascending Pavilion truly was a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers gathered!
Gu Xun'er exhaled a deep breath of hot air. She had hoped to acquire the Fire Spirit Pearl for Xiao Yan, but given how hastily she had come, she hadn't brought enough techniques or combat skills. Moreover, her primary goal was the Gu Clan's secret technique, the God Seal Art.
She could also sense an intensely terrifying power emanating from one of the rooms on the fourth floor, as if it could annihilate everyone at any moment!
"Next up is a high-level Earth-class Dou Technique," Ya Fei announced.
The crowd fell silent, their attention fully focused on her. Had they heard correctly? A high-level Earth-class technique?
That the Heaven Ascending Pavilion would be willing to auction off such a treasure was almost unthinkable—what a waste!
With a snap of Ya Fei's fingers, a radiant golden light enveloped the entire auction hall, accompanied by a surge of intense energy.
All eyes were fixed on the scroll, darting back and forth as if it held the secret to unimaginable power. This was a high-level Earth-class technique?
Even the powerful figures on the third floor turned their greedy gazes toward the scroll. High-level Earth-class techniques were incredibly rare, as rare as phoenix feathers.
No one expected to encounter one here today!
Ya Fei spoke softly, "This is called the God Seal Art, a high-level Earth-class combat skill. It is said to have been created by an ancient Dou God and consists of five techniques: Open Mountain Seal, Sea Flipping Seal, Overturning Land Seal, Sky Burying Seal, and Ancient God Seal. Each seal is interconnected.
When all five seals are mastered, they grant the power to overturn rivers and seas, devour the heavens and the earth! At its peak, it rivals even Heaven-class Dou Technique!
However, to cultivate this technique, one must at least reach the Dou King level. Otherwise, failure to master the seals will lead to disaster and suffering!"
"It really is the God Seal Art!" Ling Ying's pupils contracted sharply. "Damn Heaven Ascending Pavilion, this is our Gu Clan's secret technique—how did it end up here!"
The powerful figures from the Hall of Souls, Burning Flame Valley, and Wind Lightning Pavilion simultaneously furrowed their brows. The God Seal Art… could it really be the Gu Clan's secret technique, one of the eight ancient families?
Zhai Xing stroked his chin, pondering for a moment before speaking. "The God Seal Technique... If I'm not mistaken, this is the Gu Clan's treasured technique. I never imagined it would appear at an auction today."
Most people didn't dare show any signs of greed because those who recognized the technique were well aware of the Gu Clan's formidable power. Even if they successfully bid for it, cultivating it would be nearly impossible.
The Gu Clan would never allow their most advanced techniques to fall into the hands of outsiders.
Even Feng Qing'er of the Wind Lightning Pavilion frowned. The God Seal Technique could indeed astonish the crowd, but the Gu Clan's threat still loomed large. If they pursued this out of selfish interest, it could put the entire Wind Lightning Pavilion at risk of annihilation—a risk not worth taking.
The golden light spread like threads around the room, forming a perfect image that only deepened the greed in the onlookers' hearts.
Tang Zhen, the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, shrugged and said, "Even if you manage to buy it, you won't live long enough to cultivate it. The Gu Clan's techniques aren't so easily mastered."
The God Seal Technique was one of the Gu Clan's most profound techniques, a secret passed down through the clan. If it were leaked, the Gu Clan would undoubtedly send people to retrieve it and eliminate anyone who tried to practice it.
Cultivating The God Seal Technique was no simple matter.
Even Xiao Xun'er hadn't acquired the latter three seals, yet here the Heaven Ascending Pavilion was offering the complete version. This alone demonstrated just how terrifyingly powerful the Heaven Ascending Pavilion was.
Xiao Xun'er clenched her fists and said heavily, "It truly is our clan's secret technique, The God Seal Technique. Damn it, it's really fallen into the hands of the Heaven Ascending Pavilion."
"Miss, should I notify the clan's experts right now? The God Seal Technique is a vital treasure of our clan. If someone else learns it, they must be killed!" Ling Ying's gaze was cold and piercing. The Heaven Ascending Pavilion had crossed their bottom line. If they began to mass-produce The God Seal Technique, the Gu Clan's advantage would be utterly lost.
With this in mind, Ling Ying immediately drew his weapon, ready to fight to the death with the opposition.
However, a slow, suffocating voice echoed through the room, as if it had been birthed by the very heavens and earth themselves. The voice was ancient and dignified.
"Little one from the Gu Clan, do not provoke the Heaven Ascending Pavilion. Otherwise, no one can save you."
Xiao Xun'er quickly bowed her head in respect. "Senior, The God Seal Technique is one of the Gu Clan's highest secret techniques. Isn't this a bit too much?"
"The Heaven Ascending Pavilion values the integrity of its auctions. If you can successfully bid for it, we have no objection. Gu Xun'er, our Pavilion Master holds you in high regard, but if you dare to cross our path, the Heaven Ascending Pavilion will personally eliminate everything, including your clan."
At these words, Ling Ying abruptly raised his head, staring at the walls around them in disbelief. Eliminate their clan?
There were few strong enough on the entire Dou Qi Continent to destroy the Gu Clan. Even with their clan leader present, not even Hun Tiandi would dare speak so boldly.
Yet the Heaven Ascending Pavilion had casually threatened to destroy the Gu Clan. Who exactly were they, and where did they come from?
Xiao Xun'er nodded heavily, bowing again. "Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I understand."
As the voice faded, Xiao Xun'er couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead. Each word from that voice had carried an overwhelming power, causing her to sweat profusely under its pressure.
"Miss, are you alright?" Ling Ying rushed over, kneeling before Xiao Xun'er, his voice trembling with fear. "The pressure from that voice was no less than that of our clan leader…"
