Some people even wore masks that could be bought for a few coins on the street, making no attempt to disguise themselves.
As over a thousand people entered the small thatched hut, many lively children were filled with curiosity. How could such a small hut hold so many people?
Then, a knowledgeable elder will pat him on the head and tell him: This is a magical artifact from a celestial cave, containing a universe within, incredibly wondrous...
Soon after, as the moon rose high in the sky, all the more than a thousand guests had finally arrived. They sat together on the grass, with Lin Yang standing at the head of the table.
He was now wearing a mask. Beside him stood Guo Jia, the host of the auction. After all, everyone has their own expertise.
"Indeed, those who have come here tonight are all heroes, true champions. Well then, I won't say any more."
However, usually, after saying this, they will go on to say a long speech. For example, at a conference, when the teachers have spoken one after another, the principal will always say at the end, "Let me summarize with just two sentences."
Then you'll realize, oh, so two sentences can actually take five minutes to say...
"After the world upgrades, a prefecture will be the size of a province. A province will be the size of the entire Han Dynasty, and the primordial energy it contains will be enough to allow someone to break through to the Dao Lord realm!"
"Furthermore, tonight's auction will not be documented in writing, nor will any information be left behind. Once we leave, no one will acknowledge it!"
"Alright, now I declare the auction officially open. The first piece of land is the entire Ji Province..."

An auction, a premeditated auction to divide up the Han Dynasty, came to an end just like that.
Watching the departing guests, Lin Yang was filled with emotion. This matter had finally come to a temporary end.
Perhaps, when I return next time, the entire Han Dynasty will have been completely recovered. Who knows?
Moreover, from another perspective, the imperial family was satisfied with this auction. After all, it was almost impossible for them to inherit the Han Dynasty before. But now, they all have their own territory. Even the smallest one has a county.
Ambitious and powerful heroes were quite satisfied. They now had territories. One mighty man, plus several sub-worlds, was enough for them to divide among themselves.
The only ones dissatisfied were the royal family. But what could the royal family do now, faced with the heroes of the world?
Moreover, looking at it from another perspective, this is actually a good thing. Perhaps the Han Dynasty could truly last for ten thousand years. After all, what ambitious person would want to be an emperor with so little power?
Time flows like water, rushing forward, and before he knew it, several months had passed. During these months, Lin Yang ate and slept, and occasionally, when the mood struck him, he would enjoy tea, go hunting, or play games.
However, after playing for a while, I felt empty. I felt uncomfortable all over after not doing anything for a long time. So, I started my journey of doing something again.
However, before that, he went to the world of Shrouding the Heavens. It's been so long since we last met; he wonders how many years have passed in Shrouding the Heavens. And how is the Ruthless One doing now?
With this thought in mind, Lin Yang communicated with the Heavenly Dao of the Shrouding the Heavens world in his heart. In the next instant, he left the Great Han Dynasty and arrived in another magnificent and awe-inspiring world—Shrouding the Heavens.
This is the foundation upon which Lin Yang attained Dao Lord status. It is also the reason for Lin Yang's current strength.
Without the strong support of the Heavenly Dao of the Shrouding the Heavens world, how could Lin Yang have achieved his current strength as a half-step eighth-order cultivator?
Unfortunately, given the current level of the world of "Covering the Sky," even reaching the eighth rank at the half-step stage is already the limit. It's the absolute limit of the entire world; otherwise, perhaps Lin Yang's strength could have been further improved.
The Heavenly Court, above the Great Luo Heaven.
The foundation of the entire Heavenly Court is this so-called Great Luo Heaven. It is said that it was given this name to show its ambition, that it should aspire to be like the Great Luo Heaven.
At this time, the Heavenly Court had more than twenty heavens, and each heaven was presided over by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor at the late stage of the seventh rank.
Near each layer of heaven, there are many smaller worlds, which are actually quite large, mostly early-stage Earth-level worlds. These were created by the Great Emperors, Ancient Emperors, and Supreme Beings after they reached the seventh rank.
This can be considered a good thing. After all, the more worlds there are, the more chaotic energy is absorbed, which is a kind of supplement to the entire world of Shrouding the Heavens. The speed of evolution will also be faster.
"The Great Luo Heaven, what a magnificent Great Luo Heaven! The changes since I left are truly astounding." Looking at the magnificent scene before him, Lin Yang remarked subconsciously.
At a glance, the entire Great Luo Heaven is composed of pure primordial Dao energy, and it also nurtures many creatures.
These creatures are born sacred, with the strongest even possessing the cultivation of a seventh-tier early-stage True Immortal at birth. With a little cultivation, they can reach the realm of Immortal King, or even Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
In addition, there are many rare and precious materials, casually displayed here, hidden in the glow of the sunset, giving off a luxurious feel that comes straight to you.
"Huh, the Ruthless One isn't here? He's not in the Great Luo Heaven, nor in this world. He's gone off to conquer another world?" Lin Yang was speechless upon hearing the Heavenly Dao's reply.
However, at that moment, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Lin Yang was suddenly surrounded. But this was intentional on his part. After all, to observe, one needs others, right?
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Great Luo Heaven! Surrender now, or you will be sent to the Execution Platform."
The speaker was a general, well, one could call him a divine general. As for his strength, Lin Yang could tell at a glance: peak sixth rank, also known as peak Great Emperor. That was roughly the peak combat power he possessed when the Azure Emperor was alive.
As for the surrounding soldiers, each one possessed the strength of a late-stage fifth-tier cultivator, roughly equivalent to a Great Sage. At a rough glance, there were at least a thousand of them.
It's been a long time; the Heavenly Court's strength has truly been honed. With the main force deployed to conquer other worlds, the remaining troops are all incredibly elite.
Looking at the Heavenly Court's strength, Lin Yang felt a little embarrassed. He suddenly had the illusion that he had wasted all these years of his life.
"Hehe, I am the Dao Ancestor, where is the Ruthless One?"
"The Dao Ancestor? Who doesn't know that the Dao Ancestor has been in seclusion for 100,000 years? Moreover, he dares to directly invoke the Heavenly Emperor's command; he truly deserves to die! Kill him!"
As he spoke, the soldiers charged forward. Hmm, after thinking for a moment, Lin Yang slipped away. Ultimately, this was all a misunderstanding. He wouldn't have been so ruthless if he had really killed them all.
With that thought, Lin Yang disappeared.
"Hey, where's the thief?"
Afterwards, the general, unwilling to give up, inspected the area for a long time. Finally, feeling frustrated, he led his troops to report the matter to his superiors.
