Myriad Realms Tower, within the VIP room.
Yang Ji carefully examined the eight hundred Indestructible Dao Runes in his hand. These runes, black and gold in color, were exuding a faint glow, giving off an indestructible aura.
He glanced at his own arm, which was as tough as a Supreme Dao Instrument, hesitated for a moment, then forcibly merged a strand of Dao Rune into it.
But the next moment, his arm crumbled, as though it couldn't bear the weight of the Indestructible Dao Rune.
After many attempts, he still faced failure.
"Without specific materials, it is impossible to merge them, just like the Time-Space Dao Patterns used to forge the Wings of Time-Space cannot be integrated into ordinary stones," the Rotting Wooden Box said.
"This Indestructible Armor is a Supreme World-Stabilizing Treasure, and its true form is a piece of Immortal Immortal Metal. The armor can expand or contract, merge into the flesh or cover the body externally. It can protect not only the body but also the Primordial Spirit. It is one of the most powerful armors between heaven and earth. In the Immortal Realm, there was once a Quasi-Imperial Monarch who used his self-made Supreme Immortal Artifact 'Indestructible Armor' to withstand an Immortal King and emerge unscathed, truly formidable," the Immortal Elder sighed.
"An Immortal King is an achiever of the Dao, and each one is an incredible existence. Even a Quasi-Imperial Monarch who has attained dozens of Great Daos cannot defeat an Immortal King. To withstand an Immortal King, one must rely on the power of a Supreme Treasure, to have a sliver of possibility."
As the Rotting Wooden Box spoke, it suddenly paused, "Oh right, you are different. You have slain the Destiny Tribulation. If you can create fearsome Divine Skills of Destiny, perhaps even at the realm of Quasi-Imperial Monarch, you might be able to contend against an Immortal King."
"Indestructible Armor!" Yang Ji murmured softly, "I have heard of this Immortal Immortal Metal; it is one of the top materials in the world, rarely seen, with a vast array of uses. Whoever encounters it keeps silent about it. The creation of Indestructible Armor is probably even more difficult than the Wings of Time-Space."
"I bought it this time not really with the intention of forging it, but because I didn't want to miss out on the method of creating such a Supreme Treasure. Keeping it with me is a form of foundation. In the future, when I ascend to the Immortal Realm, I can leave it to someone fated. It will be quite a statement, and who knows, maybe my successor will have the chance to find this Immortal Immortal Metal," he said with a smile.
Yang Ji laughed.
"Young Yang, your heart has become ever more mature," teased the Rotting Wooden Box.
"I wish I were still that young man, how great it was to be eighteen! Time is truly becoming less and less dependable, a year passes in a flash, and another blink, and a decade is gone," Yang Ji shook his head.
"Time flies like a shuttle, and years pass like arrows. Those walking the path of time simply desire too much, yet they cannot obtain everything they want within the limited time, so they feel time passes quickly. Life is absurd and hurried, chased by time; otherwise, why would one aspire to become that undying and indestructible Immortal King," the Rotting Wooden Box said.
"Indeed, who doesn't want to become an 'Immortal King'? Everyone aspires to achieve the status of an Immortal King," Yang Ji murmured.
...
Time hurried by, and three days later.
Yin Ya came to inform Yang Ji that the auction was starting.
In the VIP room, a large screen appeared, showing the scene of an auction.
The inside could be seen clearly through the screen.
"If the senior sees anything they like, please just bid. Once the auction ends, someone will deliver the items you have won," Yin Ya said from the side.
"Hmm, I understand! Immortal Fairy Yin Ya, go attend to other guests. If I need anything, I will call for you," Yang Ji said, casually seated and facing the screen.
"Of course, Senior!" Yin Ya nodded and slowly walked out.
Shortly after she left, the auction officially started. The host was a Five Tribulations Immortal named Huang Yan, who had a middle-aged appearance and stood on the central stage with a smile on his face.
"Our Myriad Realms Tower holds an auction every three thousand years, gathering rare and exotic treasures. This time, we will certainly not disappoint," he said.
Huang Yan's eyes swept over the various VIP rooms, smiling as he said, "I won't waste any more time on talk. The first treasure we are about to auction is a Superior Dao Artifact named the Mystic Ruler!"
"The Mystic Ruler?" Immediately, surprised voices emanated from the various VIP rooms.
"Those attending this auction are either high-ranking Mahayana practitioners or Tribulation Immortals, Red Dust Immortals; everyone is well-informed. You may have heard about this Mystic Ruler. It is indeed a remarkable treasure, an imitation of an Innate Supreme Treasure, with limitless power and profound mysteries. A ruler to measure the heavens, a ruler to ascertain the earth's thickness, a ruler to divide heaven and earth, a ruler to set the universe! Measuring all things, shaping rules, where the Mystic Ruler passes, that is the domain you set!" Huang Yan elaborated slowly.
"I've read about the Mystic Ruler in the 'Cultivation World' book. It can dictate the rules of heaven and earth like the Supreme Immortal King. Wherever the ruler randomly sweeps across, within it is the 'Xuanhuang World' shaped by the ruler, possessing fearsome sealing and subduing powers," Yang Ji was similarly moved.
"The Mystic Ruler is indeed strong," affirmed the Rotting Wooden Box, "there are countless Supreme Treasures in this world. The Three Thousand Origin Supreme Treasures and Three Thousand Town World Treasures rank first; the second category includes Innate Supreme Treasures like the Mystic Ruler, naturally formed by heaven and earth, with supreme abilities."
"After I became an Immortal King, I especially longed for a Supreme Treasure, but despite spending nearly an eon, I couldn't even find a trace, truly lacking the fortune," it continued.
"Unlike you, who not only possess the Supreme World-Stabilizing Treasure Sapling Immortal Spirit Tree but also the Taichu Divine Tree Sapling, it's truly enviable!"
