Chapter 985 -4: The Golden Box (Subscribe please)
“All the weapons, armaments, and precious treasures combined sold for a total of 42,000 Chaos Stones.”
Lin Yuan returned to the inn, feeling slightly relieved.
With 42,000 Chaos Stones, purchasing that golden box shouldn’t be a problem.
The starting price of the golden box is 30,000 Chaos Stones, and even a Chaos Venerable wouldn’t spend 30,000 Chaos Stones to buy it without knowing its origins.
While a Chaos Venerable can indeed condense Chaos Stones from the endless Chaos Void, it also requires effort.
To a Chaos Venerable, 30,000 Chaos Stones might not be much, but to buy a golden box that might be worthless without knowing its specifics? A Chaos Venerable is wealthy, but not foolish.
If it wasn’t for the fluctuations of Chaos Realm energy within that golden box, it probably wouldn’t even be listed for the Thousand Treasures Convention.
“Maybe after buying the golden box, there will still be Chaos Stones leftover to purchase some other treasures.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Besides the golden box, there were many other treasures listed in the Thousand Treasures Record that caught Lin Yuan’s eye.
Of course, that was just fancy – the golden box was the priority.
…
Soon.
The Thousand Treasures Convention in Mingchuan City commenced smoothly.
“So many twelve-layer powerhouses.” Lin Yuan arrived early at the Thousand Treasures Tower, the venue for the convention.
Even though Lin Yuan arrived early, he still noticed numerous twelve-layer powerhouses, but the vast majority were at the Path Splitting Realm, with very few at the Dominator realm and not a single one from the Chaos Realm.
“Understandable, what status does a Chaos Venerable have?”
It’s true that the Chaos Venerable occasionally pass through the Chaos Continent, but that’s just occasionally; most of the time, they are absent.
If a Chaos Venerable were to pass by, Ancient Ming Venerable himself would need to show up to greet them.
At this moment, Lin Yuan casually entered the Thousand Treasures Tower, exuding a faint aura of the peak Path Splitting Realm.
The peak of the Path Splitting Realm, among the many twelve-layer beings present, was already considered strong, ranking just below those few at the Dominator Realm.
“Stay farther away; that one seems to be at the peak of the Path Splitting Realm.”
“Many at the peak of the Path Splitting Realm. They’re just a step away from breaking through to the Dominator Realm; we can’t afford to clash with them…”
“It’s best to not get too close.”
The twelve-layer beings whispered among themselves. In the Chaos Void, strength is respected. Outside of a place like the Chaos Continent where order is maintained, it’s always the law of the jungle.
Thus, all twelve-layer beings who have survived are very cautious. They wouldn’t dare provoke the strong, let alone get close to them, eliminating any possibility of offence or conflict.
Lin Yuan found a place in the hall to sit down. The interior space of the Thousand Treasures Tower was extremely vast, enough to allow each participant to have a separate hall.
“With my strength at the peak of the Path Splitting Realm, it shouldn’t be a problem to protect a treasure worth 30,000 Chaos Stones.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
In the Chaos Continent, anyone can purchase treasures, which are protected by Ancient Ming Venerable, so no one dares to cause trouble.
But that may not be the case once they leave the Chaos Continent.
This was also the reason why Lin Yuan revealed his aura of the peak Path Splitting Realm.
If someone in the early stages of the Path Splitting Realm purchased that golden box and attracted the attention of those with ill-intentions, it could lead to some unwelcome thoughts and ideas.
But the peak of the Path Splitting Realm?
Then they’d have to consider whether it’s worth it or not.
To assault and rob someone at the peak of the Path Splitting Realm, at least a Dominator Realm powerhouse is required, which comes at no small cost.
Just for an unassessed golden box? A Dominator Realm powerhouse definitely has better targets for plunder.
Time went by.
The Thousand Treasures Convention was about to start soon.
Lin Yuan sat inside the hall, observing the various auras nearby.
“There are more than forty Dominator Realm powerhouses,” Lin Yuan silently noted.
Among these forty Dominator Realm powerhouses, three had auras that barely reached the peak of the Dominator Realm, approaching that of the senior Cang Weiyang.
“Ladies and gentlemen.”
In the center of the Thousand Treasures Tower, a silver-haired woman appeared. With faint dragon scales on her face, her noble bloodline was evident. Many powerful beings in the Chaos Void have bloodlines of various Chaos Exotic Beasts flowing in them.
“A Dominator Realm being.”
Lin Yuan’s expression became slightly solemn, as the aura of the silver-haired woman was hidden, surely a Dominator Realm powerhouse.
“I will be presiding over this session of the Thousand Treasures Convention.”
The silver-haired woman’s voice was concise, as she directly produced a bracelet that appeared to be a secret treasure.
“A defensive secret treasure of the peak Path Splitting Realm. Wear it on your body, and when encountering danger, it will activate on its own, capable of blocking an attack from the peak Path Splitting Realm for ten breaths.”
The silver-haired woman spoke quickly while revealing the appearance and aura of the bracelet treasure.
After a moment.
The silver-haired woman continued: “The starting bid is a hundred Chaos Stones, with each increase no less than ten Chaos Stones.”
The normal price for a Path Splitting Realm secret treasure ranges from several tens to several hundred Chaos Stones. Being able to start at one hundred Chaos Stones is firstly due to its superior quality, and secondly because the Thousand Treasures Tower provides a guarantee.
The Thousand Treasures Tower, as an official force on the Chaos Continent, ensures every sold treasure is backed by proper endorsement; there’s no possibility of fraud.
So the treasures on auction at the Thousand Treasures Convention are priced higher than usual, but as long as they’re genuine and the quality is guaranteed, there are still many strong buyers willing to purchase.
“One hundred and twenty Chaos Stones.”
“One hundred and fifty Chaos Stones.”
“One hundred and eighty Chaos Stones.”
…
Before long, the bracelet treasure reached a price of 200 Chaos Stones.
Two hundred Chaos Stones had already reached the category of a top-grade Path Splitting Realm treasure. The bracelet treasure was indeed good but not match for the top-grade Path Splitting Realm treasures; hence, at this price, there were much fewer bidders.
Soon.
The bracelet treasure was sold for 210 Chaos Stones.
…
One after another, treasures were presented before the eyes of the many twelve-layer beings, sparking bouts of competition.
Lin Yuan did not make a move, saving all his Chaos stones until the golden box appeared.
…
The Thousand Treasures Convention was progressing swiftly.
The competition for Dominator realm treasures quickly concluded.
Next came the auction for Chaos realm hierarchical treasures.
At once, dozens of Dominator realm powerhouses perked up.
This was the moment they had come for.
“Golden box, containing fluctuations of the Chaos realm aura within, suspected to be a Chaos realm treasure. The starting bid is 30,000 Chaos stones.”
The silver-haired woman presented a mottled golden box, her voice resonating throughout the hall.
Silence fell around them momentarily.
The ordinary Path Splitting realm powerhouses, though curious about the golden box, couldn’t afford such a large amount of Chaos stones.
As for the Dominator realm powerhouses, their target lay with the subsequent Chaos realm treasures, showing little interest in this golden box.
Seeing no response from the powerful attendees, the silver-haired woman continued, “This golden box is made of an extremely mysterious material – ordinary attacks from the Chaos realm cannot destroy it…”
She went on with her presentation.
Sighing internally, the silver-haired woman mused, “Still no one interested?”
The golden box had been featured at not just one Thousand Treasures Convention, with its starting bid dropping from 100,000 Chaos stones initially to the current 30,000.
Just as the silver-haired woman was about to withdraw the golden box to present the next treasure,
a hesitant voice came forward.
“30,000 Chaos stones.”
Turning to the source, the silver-haired woman saw it originate from a pavilion near the front; a slight smile appeared on her face, “30,000 Chaos stones, is anyone else interested?”
“A Path Splitting realm peak powerhouse has bought this box of unknown origin?”
“30,000 Chaos stones… indeed, fitting for a peak of the Path Splitting realm.”
“Probably just curious about the box; otherwise, they wouldn’t wait until the end to bid.”
Inside the Thousand Treasures Tower, the powerhouses of the Twelfth Layer whispered among themselves — for a peak Path Splitting realm powerhouse to spend 30,000 Chaos stones was not out of the ordinary.
“Since that is the case, this golden box shall belong to the gentleman.”
The silver-haired woman promptly secured the golden box and moved on to introduce the next treasure.
Items bought in the Thousand Treasures Convention would be delivered to their new owners after the convention concluded.
“Got it.”
A smile crept onto Lin Yuan’s face.
Initially, he had been worried that some Path Splitting realm peak or even a Dominator realm powerhouse might compete with him.
Now it seemed everything had gone smoothly.
Naturally.

30,000 Chaos stones wasn’t a small number. Chaos Venerables might easily produce such an amount, but Dominator realm powerhouses would definitely feel the pinch.
…
The Thousand Treasures Convention carried on.
Lin Yuan also successively acquired a few treasures for hundreds to thousands of Chaos stones.
In the end, the Thousand Treasures Convention concluded smoothly.
When the Thousand Treasures Convention ended, the silver-haired woman standing on the stage did not leave, but quietly watched the many powerhouses.
“My lords, my master has instructed me to make an announcement.”
The silver-haired woman began to speak, her master being the Ancient Ming Venerable, the ruler of the Chaos Continent.
“Make an announcement?”
“What matter?”
“A matter disclosed by the Ancient Ming Venerable?”
The many powerhouses looked slightly unsettled, some feeling uneasy as they recalled the recent tense situation in the Chaos Continent.
“Next, my master will activate the Chaos Continent, initiating its move away from this region,” the silver-haired woman said.
“Move away?”
“Why relocate?”
The powerhouses expressed their bewilderment.
How immense was the Chaos Continent? To move such a giant continent, the amount of Chaos stones consumed would be no joke.
“Before long, this area will become the battlefield of the Nine Phoenix Great Saint and the Shadow Demon Great Saint. The aftereffects of the battle between the two Chaos Great Saints will cover the surrounding area, and at that time, everything will be destroyed,” the silver-haired woman explained.
“A battlefield of two Chaos Great Saints?” Lin Yuan’s expression subtly shifted.
Chaos Great Saints?
Battlefield?
“May I ask about the range of the aftereffects from the battle between the two Chaos Great Saints?”
A Dominator realm powerhouse inquired, concerned as his abode was in the vicinity. If what the silver-haired woman claimed was true, survival would mean keeping a good distance.
“Approximately this range,”
the silver-haired woman pointed. A map of the Chaos Void materialized with certain areas marked in red.
“This is troublesome.”
Lin Yuan focused on the red areas of the Chaos Void map. If the positioning was accurate, his home universe lay squarely within the battlefield range of the two Chaos Great Saints.
“Remember, within this range, even universes birthed from the Chaos Void will be destroyed, prematurely entering the Great Dissolution. If you wish to survive, feel free to apply for permanent residence in Mingchuan City,” the silver-haired woman continued.
The reason she mentioned universes was to remind the powerful beings present of the gravity of the situation — if universes could not withstand the chaos of the Great Saints’ clash, then nothing else stood a chance.
“Universes will be destroyed, entering the Great Dissolution beforehand?”
Lin Yuan’s expression grew solemn as he grasped the gravity of the situation.
