"And it is said," continued Prime Minister Turtle, his voice rising with excitement, "that this Nirvana Immortal Brew originates from the previous era. Over the ages, it has absorbed the essence of time and developed profound Dao Rhythms. This is no ordinary wine—it is a supreme immortal brew, a divine Dao wine. Drinking it can grant rebirth to those nearing the end of their lifespan, allowing them to live another lifetime. Like an Elixir of Immortality, a phoenix that drinks it can undergo Nirvana again, enhancing its bloodline. Even fatal injuries can be reversed, granting resurrection, undying and indestructible. It could even awaken the legendary Phoenix bloodline."
The intensity in his voice was unmistakable—this was a peerless immortal wine, imbued with the very laws of the Great Dao. A treasure that defied ranking, a source of supreme fortune.
Hiss!!
A collective gasp spread through the hall.
What kind of wine was this? One that granted a second life? That could pull someone back from the brink of death? For the Phoenix race, it was a sacred elixir. It could trigger a Nirvana rebirth, enrich their bloodline... this was beyond the Elixir of Immortality—this was divine!
More than just a mythical pill, this was a real, consumable treasure, a supreme Dao wine beyond compare.
"Impossible! How could something like this exist? How could such a treasure survive from the last era?"
"This is madness... Who would auction this away? Any clan would treat this as the core of their legacy. This is sacrilege! This is idiocy! Who sells something like this?"
Many cultivators beat their chests and howled in disbelief. To auction away such a treasure—either the seller was insane or had no concept of its value.
"Phoenix Nirvana... resurrection from death…"
A glint of light flashed in Yi Tianxing's eyes.
The power of this Nirvana Immortal Brew was overwhelming. In that instant, he thought of only one person—Princess Anning. His daughter, Yi Xianhuang, possessed the Phoenix Nirvana Physique, requiring nine cycles of Nirvana to fully awaken the Immortal Undying Phoenix Body. But each cycle came with immense risk—any one of them could result in her turning to ashes.
But if they could obtain the Nirvana Immortal Brew, then each cycle would have a safety net. Even if she failed in one rebirth, she could recover through this divine wine. Her bloodline might even be strengthened in the process. For Anning, this wasn't just valuable—it was priceless.
Phoenix Nirvana Physique (凤凰涅槃体质) — a divine constitution requiring nine dangerous rebirths to awaken the full power of the Immortal Phoenix.
Nirvana Immortal Brew (涅槃仙酿) — supreme Dao wine capable of resurrection, bloodline ascension, and Phoenix Nirvana.
Immortal Undying Phoenix Body (不灭仙凰体) — final evolution of the Phoenix Nirvana Physique, obtainable only after surviving nine Nirvanas.
Implication: Anning's future survival may hinge on this singular brew.
"This brew must be acquired," Yi Tianxing decided on the spot. "No matter the price."
The previously unmatched Dukang Immortal Brew had already amazed him. But this Nirvana Immortal Brew eclipsed it. It was a second life in a bottle.
The crowd was ablaze with desire.
"The Nirvana Immortal Brew, bidding starts now. Base price: one billion Eternal Coins. Minimum increment: ten million."
Prime Minister Turtle took a deep breath. Even he had hesitated about auctioning it, but the Hanhai Dragon King had insisted—this was their ultimate showstopper.
And the price—terrifying. One billion Eternal Coins. A price that made immortality pills look cheap.
"Who has this kind of money?" growled King Behemoth. "This is outrageous. Even before the Cataclysm, one billion Eternal Coins would've equaled hundreds of billions of RMB."
The hall went dead silent.
"This is just to make waves," many speculated. "They don't want to sell it. Just stir things up."
Even Gongsun Daniu looked confused. This wasn't a sale—it was a spectacle.
"This brew is just to boost the auction's reputation," said Ao Ying proudly. "No one here can afford it. We know. No one has ever exchanged that many Eternal Coins at our banks."
But Ao Qi shook her head, glancing toward Yi Tianxing. "Unless the Emperor of Da Yi is interested. Then no one can outbid him."
He was a known spender. The Elixir of Immortality formula? Bought it casually. Now this? He might just do it again.
"One billion and one hundred million!"
Yi Tianxing's voice rang out.
No hesitation.
No dramatic raise.
No fanfare.
Just the minimum bid—enough to show he was serious, and enough to warn others not to try.
"Father, should we stop him?" Ao Ying asked nervously.
The Hanhai Dragon King watched Yi Tianxing for a long moment, then shook his head.
"No need. The fame and momentum we've gained are worth the cost. Besides, blocking the bid now would ruin our reputation. A dragon values nothing more than face."
To raise false bids and get caught would be humiliation before the myriad races.
This was a calculated risk they couldn't take.
Someone had actually bid.
"Who was it?!"
"Only a handful of people in the Hanhai Region have the capital. The Skyhawk Court is broke. The Silver Moon Court? Maybe—they're backed by ancient elven legacies. But…"
"No one compares to Da Yi. They mint Eternal Coins. The Da Yi Emperor is in a league of his own."
Everyone had the same thought. And though they knew who it likely was, none dared speak his name too loudly.
This was power. This was dominion.
Prime Minister Turtle wiped sweat from his brow.
This was supposed to be a formality—a Dragon Palace agent would've bid and "won" it. But Yi Tianxing had shattered that script.
Silence filled the room.
"Everyone, the Nirvana Immortal Brew—this is the only one in all the heavens. A second life, a taste beyond compare. Will no one raise the bid? One billion and one hundred million—is there no higher offer?"
