Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 58 Originium Recycling (Seeking First Subscription)

Many powerful figures secretly sent telepathic messages to Tuoba Lie, offering their astonishingly high-level information in an attempt to purchase the stone.

Unfortunately, none of them received a response.

The pale golden light on Tuoba Lie's body slowly faded, and the Origin Heaven Treasure Wheel in his hand disappeared. He gently patted the Flying Immortal Stone and said, "I choose this stone."

Now, no one questions his choice. The various methods he has employed have definitely given him a touch of the style of the Celestial Master. Coupled with the extraordinary phenomenon of the Flying Immortal Stone, everyone is convinced that this stone will surely yield an astonishing treasure.

Yun Shang was no longer calm. The other side had made such a big commotion right from the start. Even with his composure, he couldn't remain calm at this moment.

Li Yao walked around the stone garden expressionlessly. He was not anxious because immortals were far away from this world. If that source stone was really related to immortals, it would probably have become a spirit long ago and would not have ended up in the stone garden.

But since there's been this commotion, it proves that the source stone is definitely not ordinary. He needs to cut out an extremely rare treasure before he can fight against it.

In the end, Li Yao also narrowed it down to a few Originium stones that gave him the strongest feeling.

The Primordial Dao Diagram Stone, the Bamboo Forest Beauty Stone, and the Phoenix Blood Stone that was first seen.

These three Originium stones were among the ones that reacted the most strongly under the influence of the interaction between Heaven and Man.

The Primordial Dao Diagram Stone resonated with the sound of the Great Dao, as if a primordial deity was preaching to it. The Bamboo Forest Beauty Stone truly formed an illusion in the sea of ​​consciousness, as if a beauty was dancing in a bamboo forest. As for the Phoenix Blood Stone, although it felt hollow and incomplete to him, he still needed to examine it carefully before making a conclusion.

Li Yao stood before the Primordial Dao Diagram Stone. Suddenly, a dazzling divine light shot out from his eyes, radiant with golden light and densely covered with Dao patterns, capable of seeing through all illusions.

"Heavens, this is the Origin God's Eye!"

"The Eye of Truth, a miraculous technique from the source of heaven, allows one to see through everything within the stone with divine eyes—this is a heaven-defying method!"

All the older generation were shocked. If the Crimson Gold Divine Hand and the Origin Heaven Treasure Wheel were only used by the Origin Heaven Masters, then the Origin Heaven Divine Eye was practically the standard equipment of the Origin Heaven Masters. Generations of Origin Heaven Masters relied on this divine technique to dominate the world.

Especially Yun Shang and Yao Xi, they had no idea that Li Yao had this trick up his sleeve. The Origin Heaven Divine Eye, shouldn't it be a mysterious technique in the Origin Heaven Book?
How could Li Yao possibly know this? Where did he learn the Origin Heavenly Book? The Yao Guang Holy Land doesn't have the Origin Heavenly Book!

The two were shocked, but aside from them.

If we were to ask who was the most shocked in the arena at this moment, it would undoubtedly be Tuoba Lie. As a member of a family specializing in Origin Arts, he was all too aware of the value of the Origin Book.

Upon seeing Li Yao use the Source Heaven Divine Eye, his first reaction was that the Source Heaven Book, which had been lost for ten thousand years, had reappeared. His second reaction was to do everything possible to obtain the Source Heaven Book.

But soon, Tuoba Lie noticed something was wrong. After carefully observing Li Yao's divine eye, he realized that it was not the Origin Heaven Divine Eye.

Although it was somewhat similar, it was indeed different from the Source Heaven Divine Eye. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he should be happy or disappointed.

Since the Source Book has not appeared in the world, the status of their Source Arts family will not be affected. However, as a Source Arts Grandmaster, he is extremely eager to witness the power of the Source Book.

"No, this isn't the Origin Heaven Divine Eye, it's just similar." Suddenly, an old monster stepped forward and said.

Everyone was puzzled, but soon Tuoba Lie also stepped forward and spoke.

“That’s right, this is definitely not the Origin Heaven Divine Eye.”

With Tuoba Lie speaking, all doubts were completely dispelled. As a family of Origin Arts masters, the fifth generation Origin Master had even personally visited the Tuoba family. If he stood up to deny it, then it seemed that this was indeed not the Origin Heavenly Eye.

"Sigh, I thought I would witness the power of the Origin Book today." Some of the old people were somewhat disappointed.

The group was initially shocked by the appearance of the Origin Heavenly Book, only to be proven otherwise; their emotions were like a rollercoaster. Suddenly, the Heavenly Voice of the Great Dao resounded, startling everyone once again.
The celestial sound of the Great Dao resounded throughout the Heavenly Stone Garden, yet it seemed to come not from here, but from the Immortal Realm.

The stone inexplicably emitted a strange sound, which resonated with Li Yao's Origin Heaven Divine Eye and echoed throughout the stone garden.

It was as if a divine being was preaching, speaking slowly and gently, cleansing people's souls.

In the center of the palace, beneath the massive ancient tree, glistening petals fluttered in the air. The old man, who resembled a god, shifted his gaze from the Flying Immortal Stone and swept it over.

The celestial music of the Great Dao lingers on, and the priceless, unadorned stones are captivating.

Many people were astonished. This stone actually emitted a Daoist sound, which was activated by the Origin Heaven Divine Eye and resounded throughout the world, which was truly astonishing.

At present, people from various powerful groups are spreading the word that they want to buy this stone at an astronomical price. Among them are people from various holy lands and the Jiang family.

Everyone present was astonished. This was indeed a grand showdown of source arts, with both source arts masters choosing astonishing stones.

“Something extraordinary will definitely be cut out; a mysterious celestial sound even rang out.”

"The Great Dao is boundless, lofty and profound, inspiring an urge to sink into it." "Perhaps it is a celestial scripture."

……

Everyone was astonished and watched closely.

Unexpectedly, Li Yao reached out and patted the Innate Dao Diagram Stone, and actually said, "If I sell this source stone, what about the gambling stones? Will the price be based on the selling price of this source stone, or can I continue to choose the next one?"

Everyone was stunned, and then their hearts began to pound with unease. What did this mean? This stone was clearly extraordinary, so why was Li Yao giving it up?

Seeing everyone suddenly go from excitement to silence, Li Yao quickly explained, "This source stone is extraordinary, but only relatively speaking. At least I feel it's not as good as Tuoba Lie's source stone. If I choose this source stone, I'll lose the bet on the stone. But if I just give it up like this, I'm a little unwilling."

He explained slowly, with a reluctant expression on his face. Those around him thought it made perfect sense, but those with a discerning eye still felt there was something fishy going on.

"Or I could buy this source stone, but I won't open it yet; I'll buy the next one instead," Li Yao asked with utmost sincerity.

At this moment, Yao Xi's bright eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward, saying, "Junior brother, have you forgotten that your senior sister is here? I'll buy this source stone. Go and pick the next one."

As she spoke, she prepared to extract the source and take the source stone directly.

The others couldn't sit still any longer. Even those who sensed something was wrong didn't have time to think further and quickly stepped forward to stop it.

“You’re all in cahoots, this is going too far.”

“Young friend, you can choose the next source stone and sell it to someone else. There are precedents for this, so it doesn’t violate the rules.”

"Bullshit! When did such a rule come about!" Tuoba Lie roared, but it was no use; his words were quickly drowned out by the crowd.

"Times are changing, we can't just be obsessed with the past, we have to keep up with the times. If someone does find a good stone, they can't just give it up."

“Not bad, young man, sell it to me. I’ll give you the source of this stone, and I’ll also give you an additional 50,000 catties of source.”

"I'm willing to pay 60,000 for these Originium stones."

"No, I won't accept the outcome of this jade gambling. Don't even think about it," Tuoba Lie protested.

Li Yao was also somewhat embarrassed. He looked at Tuoba Lie and said, "Then how about this: the proceeds from the sale of this source stone will be included in the bet. If you win, then all these sources are yours."

“That’s fine.” Tuoba Lie’s attitude changed instantly.

"Your mother, seeing how angry you were just now, I thought you were so strong," was the sentiment of many people in the room.

“In that case, my Jiang family will take back this source stone. How about 100,000 jin of source stone?” At this moment, Jiang Xiong stepped forward and offered a price.

This source stone is extraordinary. If there is some unparalleled treasure inside, it would truly break their hearts.

They wouldn't accept something like this, even if it meant risking being scammed.

The price was driven up to 100,000 jin of raw material, and those who were previously making noise fell silent.

One hundred thousand catties of source material, plus another one hundred and twenty thousand catties of source material to be paid for the source stone itself, that makes a total of two hundred and twenty thousand catties of source material.

This is no small sum. The young people can't afford it, and although the old monsters have some, it's just a piece of Originium that hasn't been cut open yet.

Although this source stone has shown extraordinary signs, it only increases the probability of finding treasure; it doesn't mean that a treasure will definitely be found in the end. Even a master of source arts isn't infallible.

Spending over 200,000 jin of raw materials is indeed a bit outrageous.

No one bid, and the source stone ultimately went to the Jiang family, but Jiang Xiong showed no smile.

Nonsense, these were originally their source stones. Now, not only did they not spend any money, they even gave them 100,000 jin of source stones as a bonus. How could he possibly be laughing?

Looking at the thirty-four piles of ore stacked on the ground according to the standard one-square-meter method, Jiang Xiong felt extremely distressed.

Now I can only hope that this source stone is truly extraordinary and will yield some good stuff.

Damn it, what was the Origin Master thinking when he came to see the Origin Stone? He actually overlooked such a treasure, making the Jiang family waste an extra 100,000 catties of Origin Stone.
