GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS-Chapter 116 [Bonus ]Disgustingly Wealthy! 2

?"The next item is a top-grade item, said to be capable of holding over five tons of wine, the 'Spatial Gourd.' The wine contained within it was also specially brewed from the Northern Sage Palace in the Northern Continent. The starting price is 1,200 Law spirit stones."

"Did she say the Northern Sage Palace? Popular for their exquisitely brewed wines? I can't miss this opportunity! 2,000 Law spirit stones!"

A male cultivator excitedly bellowed as he bid for the top-grade wine gourd, but like the first item, another bidding competition began as the cultivators raised the prices. The gourd they bid for was medium-sized and had a greenish essence around it.

In the number 1 high-rank bidding chamber, three chambers from Patrick's, the Bored Immortal and the Jian master, sat as they watched the bidding through the chamber's glass. The Jian master stared at the bidding scene with a focused gaze, but unlike the Jian master, the Bored Immortal was distracted as he scrutinizingly stared at a tiny space-void revolving on his right palm. This tiny space-void was the space the Bored Immortal had grabbed earlier, where Patrick's group had vanished (Chap 111).

"I thought the Overlords don't accept disciples, or was that to throw off the major powers? Since you had publicly accepted a disciple, don't you think it would appear hypocritical?"

The Jian master spoke while still looking at the bidding scene. Hearing the Jian master, the Bored Immortal paused his inspection of the tiny space-void. Casually turning to the Jian master, he spoke.

"Rather than questioning my hypocrisy, you should be thanking me instead. Do you think you had the strength to face that kid's group alone?"

Hearing these words, the Jian master couldn't help but stare at the Bored Immortal suspiciously, asking.

"What do you mean by 'had the strength,' Bored Immortal? Is this another one of your sarcastic jokes? Then I'd suggest you stop it now."

"..! You think that was a joke; here, this is the ripped space-void they used to enter your Sacred Realm. Why don't you use your soul sense and see if you can identify any of their existing factors from it other than the Fairy girl?"

The Bored Immortal spoke as he passed the hovering miniature space-void to the Jian master.

Placing his palm underneath the tiny space-void, the Jian master closed his eyes; he then sent his soul sense into the miniature space-void, which was in the form of energy. Appearing in the void, which was large compared to his soul sense, the Jian master again shut his eyes as he searched for any of Patrick's existing factors. But even after a long, thorough search, he could only detect minuscule blueish energy millions of miles away from his location. This faint blueish energy was Fairy Marine's soul presence.

But then, as if noticing his presence, the tiny blueish energy birthed two bright red eyes as it stared straight at the Jian master. Meeting eyes with the tiny blueish energy, the Jian master felt his soul forcefully thrown out of the void as he returned to his main body. Simultaneously to the Jian master getting expelled from the miniature space, he and the Bored Immortal watched as the tiny void in his palm instantly mended with the surrounding void, vanishing from the scene after.

Experiencing such a shocking event, the Jian master heavily breathed as beads of sweat occasionally dripped down his forehead; he turned as he suspiciously stared at the Bored Immortal. Unconsciously, he had gripped the handle of his seat, completely breaking the left handle. Returning to his conscious self, the Jian master rearranged himself as he regained his calm. He asked as he looked at the Bored Immortal, who didn't have an ounce of surprise on his face.

"Did you know it was going to do that?"

Despite looking at the suspicious face of the Jian master, the Bored Immortal didn't have a shred of panic on his face; instead of answering the Jian master's question, he rose from his seat and stepped closer to the see-through glass of the chamber.

"As I said, you don't have the strength to handle them. First, the kid and his entourage entered your realm without your notice and even without the notice of those old fogies down there, or else they would have alerted you, which ultimately indicates one of two things. One, they are stronger than you in cultivation, or, two, they possess abilities and techniques beyond your comprehension. Either way, you are at a disadvantage. Also, from the order in which they appeared, I will assume that showed their hierarchy, from the Fairy at the bottom to the silver-haired kid.

Note that, among the six, only the Fairy girl had an existing soul essence, the rest not so much as faint energy. And I think the only reason we can sense her soul essence is that the Fairies are creatures of nature; even if they were realms higher, with soul sense, one could still sense their presence. So now, let me ask you, Jian Jiu, if the weakest person among their group was someone realms higher than even me, who is a peak late-stage Saint, then try imagining how powerful-

Stop! You made your point. But that doesn't explain why they are in my Sacred Realm, and you haven't answered my question."

Slightly turning and looking at the Jian master, the Bored Immortal spoke.

"No, I didn't know it could do that. Unlike you, I didn't try to probe into the energy when I scanned it. Also, when I said to throw in another favor, I was saving you with the pretext of acknowledging the kid as my disciple. But honestly, even I can't help but wonder; who they are or where they came from. But if there is one thing I will tell you: be prepared to fight with your lives on the line."

Turning his head back to the bidding scene, the Bored Immortal noticed many cultivators looking at the number 4 high-stage bidding chamber.

"30,000 Law spirit stones! Are there any higher bids? Thirty thousand going once! Going twice! Sold to chamber 4!"

The bidding host shouted as she stared at the number four high-stage bidding chamber. But it wasn't only her; almost half of the auction guests looked up at the fourth chamber. For the last three minutes, this chamber had outrageously bid for the Spatial gourd even when its actual price wasn't that high; it was as if they were provocative.

"Huh? how did the bid for the Spatial Gourd go from one thousand two hundred to thirty thousand? Aren't they losing money? Even if the Northern Sage Palace brewed the wine within the gourd, it would cost ten thousand law spirit stones at best. Who would dare be so extravagant?"

"Aren't they those beings from the skies earlier? Are they that wealthy to waste 30,000 Law spirit stones on a mere top-grade item like that? We haven't even reached the higher-graded artifacts and treasures yet, and they are already spending such an amount of law spirit stones?" ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

Some cultivators in the crowd expressed their thoughts as they curiously stared at the fourth high-bidding chamber.

Raleigh stood in the number 4 chamber behind Patrick's throne while a long green pendant, the size of a palm, hovered before him. This hovering green pendant, which can also be seen in the hands of every cultivator at the auction, was the item used to bid. The pendants had the spatial formation capacity to absorb any Immortal Realm currency, which the cultivators could use to bid for treasures.

It had been three minutes since the host announced the spatial gourd and started at the price of 1,200 law spirit stones. But while the cultivators were competing for the item in hundreds of law spirit stones, Patrick had signaled Raleigh as he raised the price from 5,200 law spirit stones to 10,000 law spirit stones. Although they spiked some attention from the cultivators, most ignored it as it was normal for the high chambers to bid extravagantly.

But then, another high-rank chamber not far from Patrick's chamber bid for the Spatial gourd for 12,000 Law spirit stones; this chamber was numbered 6. But unlike the other opened-view chambers, this bidding chamber had a blind shielding the insides from outside view. But without even acknowledging the other party's bid, Patrick extended a finger from the side of his throne; understanding his Master's will, Raleigh inserted Qi into the pendant, causing the pendant to emit a glow.

With that, the host, who also had a green pendant, but twice the size of the regular pendant, saw the chamber that bid and how much. At first, the girl couldn't help but frown after she saw the bid amount, but acknowledging that it was from a high chamber, owning such wealth wasn't that much of a surprise. The host then called the bid amount, later declaring the final bidder after.

With the item being bought, the host lady casually raised the spatial gourd using her Qi as she pointed at the number 4 chamber, the item's destination. Then, everyone watched as the 'Spatial Gourd' disappeared from the bidding platform.

Within his bidding chamber, Patrick watched as the spatial gourd flashed from the stage and appeared before him.

"A wine jug, huh?; could it be our dear husband intends to become a boozer? Feeling old already?"

Anna spoke as she humorously stared a Patrick, who was staring at the floating gourd. Patrick couldn't help but chuckle; he was being mocked already for owning a wine gourd, which is dominantly owned by old men who had seen too much of the world.

"I don't need it. Osborn, you are the old man in this situation, do with it as you see fit."

Patrick spoke as he casually sent the gourd behind him and to Raleigh. Receiving the gourd, Raleigh spoke with a gloomy face.

"And here I thought my looks disassociated me with being called old; how tragic."

Patrick smirked. The three Goddesses also smiled at Raleigh's joke; even Fairy Marine couldn't restrain herself from giggling. Suddenly turning to Fairy Marine, Anna asked.

"Lady Marine, I noticed you being uncomfortable earlier; I hope the auction isn't already boring you."

"No, not at all, Goddess Anna; on the contrary, I am quite being entertained. I had only noticed the Jian master and that bare-footed old man staring at one of my soul essences, which I think was from a detached space-void. I'm assuming they were trying to figure you guys out. But I already handled it, nothing worth complaining about."

Hearing Marine's words, Anna looked at Patrick with her feminine gaze as she softly spoke.

"Dare, you know, that was an invasion of privacy."

"...! Very well then, we are also buying the ancient Jian family along with their realm. And since lady Marine is a True God, she will need worshipers. The Jian family shall be Lady Marine's worshipers for all eternity. Their entire existence shall also be under her jurisdiction starting now."

Patrick spoke as Grace displayed him his interface.

[Passive Nature: Absolute Command; Impose absolute command and authority over totality and beyond]

[Master, you have achieved a new title]

[Title: Absolute Omniarch*; Absolute and total controller and administrator over EVERYTHING] 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

Patrick only read the title as he ignored the description. But suddenly, after Patrick's speech, a circular ring of blue light, with unknown ancient characters, appeared behind Fairy Marine's head. The majestic blue light then washed over Marine as she felt her body filled with endless god energy, countless times more immense than hers. It felt like pouring a sea through a straw. Not long after, the light lessened as Fairy Marine returned to normal, the ring slowly fading after; she had been given existential authority over the entire Jian family.

"This lowly being shall forever be eternally grateful for his Godship's benevolence. I also thank the Goddess."

Marine knelt on both knees as she bowed toward Patrick and his wives, thanking Patrick and Anna as it was Anna who vouched for her to her husband, yielding him to take action.

"Please, ignore such formalities. Let's enjoy the auction; it's just starting, and voice your opinions if you wish to buy an item, although they are already yours."

Patrick spoke as he focused on the ongoing auction.

Note that all these events took no time at all; it was like they had just received the spatial gourd.

"Ladies and gentlemen! We will now start seeing the heaven-graded and higher items and artifacts!"

The host lady spoke as her voice echoed all around the auction coliseum. The crowd then burst into cheers as they heard they would now start seeing the higher-graded items. Bear in mind that some of these cultivators know they wouldn't be able to compete for the items, but at least they could witness the displayed heaven-grade treasures and even the god-grade, which was worth the trip and money.

Seeing the excited reaction of the crowd, the host lady smiled as she spoke again.

"As an introductory item, we shall start with a treasure that cost our ancient Jian family a great deal to obtain. This item seemed to be a possession from an ancient figure who died over fifty Immortal cycles ago; this being was said to be among the five strongest cultivators in the Immortal Realm. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the sword of 'The Unparalleled Immortal Demon,' 'The Soul Devouring Blade.'

Simultaneously finishing her words, the host lady pulled the cloth covering an item settled on a long table. With the cover gone, the revealed item was a blade; the black blade had extremely thick dark Qi furiously revolving around it as it tried to escape from the multiple gold chains it was held by. But despite it being constrained, the sword released its aura as it caused half of the low-ranking cultivators to pass out. Some maintained their stance and were unshaken by the blood-thirsty aura of the blade.

Standing among the many who didn't pass out was Lian Zu. Lian Zu stood from his seat as he passionately stared at the displayed blade; one could see the blade's reflection through his eyes. Slightly opening his mouth, he murmured.

"I have found you at last."

In Gong Tieshan's bidding chamber, Gong Tieshan stared at the black blade as he spoke after.

"I want it."

In bidding chamber 4, Patrick also stared at the black blade as he smirked after; he then spoke.

"Now, things just got interesting."
