Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 988 - 986: Bidding for the Emperor Sky Pillar?
Tang San glanced at it and said, "This Bead of Misfortune is not good news. Although it can inflict misfortune on others, if it's used against someone with extremely strong Luck, the misfortune could bounce back on the user. It's a double-edged sword. Moreover, even if you can constantly suppress your opponent, the Bead of Misfortune itself carries misfortune, and the user is bound to be plagued by misfortune in the future. It is an ominous object. Those who use it in the battle for supremacy will surely not make it to the end and will also bring very bad fate upon themselves. It is a weapon that could curse not only the owner but possibly even the entire Race they belong to. How could I bring disaster and trouble to our Blue Golden Tree Clan?"
"Yes, the patriarch is right," said the Great Elder standing nearby. "Anyway, I felt really uncomfortable when I saw this thing, extremely uncomfortable. It's better not to have it. However, patriarch, the items we've acquired in this auction may not be enough to help you win the supremacy battle. If the last two items are good enough, please do not be stingy with money, we must win them at all costs."
Among the items that Tang San had won in the auction, in his view, only the Light Dragon Spear was somewhat useful, the Ferocious Dragon was uncertain, the Substitute Lotus Seed was somewhat useful, but these also couldn't decide the victory or defeat. How easy would it be to find a suitable contractor for the Blessing Life Necklace? Although a lot of money had been spent, there was no truly powerful divine tool that could affect the outcome of the battle for supremacy.
The recent auction of the light-element Spirite, the Great Elder actually very much supported Tang San winning it. The light element has always been compatible with the Life attribute, and if they had acquired it, it could have provided a very strong enhancement. But in the end, Tang San gave it up to the Dragon Clan. It was understandable; the Dragon Clan is so powerful that to truly offend them to the death wouldn't be a prudent course of action.
The Great Elder was somewhat sad at this moment. The Blue Golden Tree Clan was still not skilled in combat. Even at such a grand auction, it seemed they couldn't turn the tide, and money couldn't solve the problem.
As the Bead of Misfortune fetched such a high price, the mood of the City Lord, Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, was excellent, declaring that with the purchase of the Bead of Misfortune, a protective Stone of Luck would also be provided to offset the backlash to a certain degree.
"Next, we have our final showpiece item. Before the ultimate item appears, it will undoubtedly bring a surprise to every participant. Just having the opportunity to see this item, I believe, is already a stroke of luck in the lifetime of most bidders. Now, let us introduce the last showpiece item of today."
The auction was nearing its end, and undoubtedly, the most exciting and thrilling moment of the three-day bidding was about to arrive.
At this time, every bidder had already forgotten their fatigue, eagerly waiting with excitement for the last item to be unveiled.
A soft halo emanated from below, and as the light appeared, a cylindrical column slowly rose from the ground. The column wasn't small; it quickly extended more than ten meters above the auction stage and was still rising gently.
Seeing this column, Tang San, who had seen similar ones before, was taken aback for a moment. Is this... the Emperor Sky Pillar?
The Ancestral Court was actually putting a Emperor Sky Pillar up for auction? What did this mean? Could it be that they're auctioning off the legacy of the Emperor Sky Pillar? Is that even possible? To maximize profits, they really are going to all lengths! Are they even putting a Emperor Sky Pillar up for sale?

The Emperor Sky Pillar continued to rise slowly, and soon, it seemed like it would pierce the sky, rising to an extremely high point— a hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters, four hundred meters.
As the height surpassed four hundred meters, Tang San's expression became somewhat somber.
To know that within the Ancestral Court Council, there are not many Emperor Sky Pillars that exceed four hundred meters. He remembered the Emperor Sky Pillars that had affinity with him on that day, especially those over four hundred meters, he had a profound impression. However, he could be certain there was not this one.
This Emperor Sky Pillar looked bare, its cylindrical body presented in silver-white, as if it was a metallic sculpture, but did not possess any other characteristics on it, no dragons or tigers, no traits of any Race, it was just like a straight and upright pillar. Yet, the aura on it was something Tang San could absolutely not mistake, this was indeed the Emperor Sky Pillar, one hundred percent so.
An Emperor Sky Pillar that had never appeared in the Ancestral Court Council, what exactly could this be?
The height of the Emperor Sky Pillar continued to rise until it finally stopped steadily after exceeding four hundred and fifty meters.
It had also become the center of everyone's focus, many of the bidders below did not know what this object was. However, the City Lords in the VIP rooms recognized the identity of the Emperor Sky Pillar, after all, they had all gone through a duty report at the Ancestral Court.
The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox wore an expression of emotion on her face, and said in a deep voice, "Possibly many bidders among you do not know what this is. Let me give you a brief introduction. All Main City Lords present should have seen similar existences. That's right, this is an Emperor Sky Pillar. After every Emperor dies, an Emperor Sky Pillar corresponding to themselves will be born, or it is to say when they become an Emperor, the Emperor Sky Pillar will come into existence, after the emperors' death, a wisp of divine consciousness will enter into the Emperor Sky Pillar, this is a possibility left for their clansmen's future inheritance. It is also the mark left by the Emperors in this plane of existence. Being able to own an Emperor Sky Pillar is almost the greatest honor for every member of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan. And every Main City Lord, when coming to present at the Ancestral Court, will have three days to choose to be recognized by the Emperor Sky Pillar, those who get recognized shall receive a certain inheritance, this is a tradition that has been passed down in the Ancestral Court for many years."
"This is also a benefit only available to City Lords. Even the patriarchs of various clans do not have this qualification. And the Emperor Sky Pillar you are currently seeing is a very special one. The City Lords present should see that this is not any Emperor Sky Pillar that you have ever seen, it did not appear in the Ancestral Court Council. That's right, it's very special, precisely because it's a unique existence, thus, it was not able to enter the Ancestral Court. Because the Emperor who brought about this Emperor Sky Pillar does not belong to our Monster Clan or Spirit Clan. To be accurate, he is the only one that we know of, outside of our two Clans, an Emperor."
As these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene. To know that in the history of Demon Monster Land, only the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan could give birth to Emperors; there had never been an Emperor of other Races, this was a record that had always been on Demon Monster Land! Now, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox was telling them that there had in fact been an Emperor of another Race, who had even given rise to an Emperor Sky Pillar.
The shock among the City Lords was particularly intense, an Emperor Sky Pillar over four hundred fifty meters! This would have ranked in the top ten among the emperors in the history of the Ancestral Court.
The eyes of Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox became more profound, "That being who became an Emperor was a Human. That's right, the Humans that in your mind are meant to be slaves and servants. Unimaginable isn't it? Humans, so frail and with no inherent talents, have actually cultivated to become Emperors, and moreover, a rather powerful Emperor."
Upon hearing these words, Pretty Girl in VIP Room Number Eleven suddenly stood up.
Meanwhile, in VIP Room No.8, Tang San's pupils contracted; at last, he understood why the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had been so wary of Humans. It turned out that there had indeed been a Human who cultivated to the level of an Emperor.
The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox continued, "This Human took a very unique path, a path unimaginable by us all. He had no innate talents but was very intelligent. Since his youth, he was a blacksmith, specializing in crafting all sorts of weapons. Due to his clever hands and nimble mind, he made swift progress, yet had no abilities and no bloodline talents. Just a common Human. However, it was such a common Human, through his own efforts and ingenious ideas, who could always create various powerful weapons, and even invented many kinds of alloys, making the weapons even stronger, thereby gradually gaining some repute."
