Chapter 1194: Ice God’s Heart

“Not only that, the energy from the Ice God’s Heart is pristine. It is the purest form of ice attribute. Some of the nine Title Douluos died grappling for it, and there were also three who died from the cold current that attacked their hearts after coming into contact with it.”

“Thus, the fact remains that no one knows how to utilize it or its energy until today. However, we dare to predict that, in the entirety of human history, it will be one of the best core materials to produce the fourth Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition.”

The entire auction market immediate broke out in a clamor of voices upon hearing those words.

The terror of Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition was already proven when all of Shrek City was flattened by two of them. There were so many powerhouses from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, yet they were incapable of stopping their terrifying power. One could only imagine how horrifying the Ice God’s Heart would be when put to use.

‘Use it to make the core of another Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunition?’ The words sounded quite appealing. The people permitted to enter the auction market today were all elites from each of the great forces. They were either mavens ahead of their time or they represented a faction of the major players.

All of them understood the significance of possessing a Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition. It would be an immense threat of strategic importance!

Qiangu Dongfeng listened to the auctioneer’s charismatic introduction as his lips cracked into a faint cold smile. If the real proprietor behind the Heaven Dou Auction Market had avoided provoking the military, there would have been no need for Qiangu Dongfeng to come and bid for the Ice God’s Heart personally.

He was even aware of some of the untold stories that the auctioneer would never speak of. The Ice God’s Heart had already been researched by the military and the federal government countless times. The auctioneer was right. It was genuinely suitable to be used as a Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition’s core. Nevertheless, it was apparently impossible to do so because, not only was its temperature ultra low, but it would also not mix with any other form of energy. There was no way whatsoever that one could utilize the energy inside through the use of any soul device or soul circuit.

Given that, the Ice God’s Heart could never possibly appear in the auction market.

Of course, since Qiangu Dongfeng was here, he came for it, so he was naturally aware of its real purpose.

At this point, he took a glance at Gu Yuena by his side as his lips cracked into a faint smile.

The auctioneer’s introduction was coming to a close. Regardless of whether the Ice God’s Heart was usable, there was one thing that was beyond all doubt: it was an item of the ice attribute that was definitely of divine weapon standard.

“Alright, we shall begin the auction immediately. The starting price is five billion Federation coins. Each bid must be no lower than one billion Federation coins.”

There was no doubt that this was an enormous amount. It had been a very long time since the Federation had auctioned anything at such a price. Moreover, there was still no confirmation as to whether the Ice God’s Heart was a genuine divine weapon.

If it was truly a divine weapon, then one could not possibly sell it. The auction market’s purpose for doing so was to attract bids from all of the great forces so they could find a way to use the Ice God’s Heart. Whether it was to make Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition or for other purposes, as long as the item was able to be used, its value would far exceed the auction price.

“Our honored guests can begin the bidding,” said the auctioneer with a smile on his face. However, there was only an awkward silence after he had ended his speech.

No one placed a bid as everyone’s gaze was fixated upon the Ice God’s Heart on the auction platform.

Five billion Federation coins was not a pittance by any means. Even for many of the major powers, it was not easy to mobilize such a large amount of cash.

The auctioneer was not in a rush as such a high-grade item was not supposed to be auctioned off so easily. The price was not considered high given the energy contained in the Ice God’s Heart. It would not mean anything even if no one placed a bid for it in the end. His superior was not forcing him to auction off the item.

It took a full three minutes before he reminded everyone once again. “Our honored guests may start bidding.”

“Five point one billion.” This time, someone from the crowd began to bid. It was a bidder sitting in a darkened corner on the left side.

“Sure, five point one billion.” The auctioneer immediately became high-spirited when he heard someone call out a bid. He replied at once.

“Five point two billion!” Another bid was proposed.

The most important step after acquiring the Ice God’s Heart was to carry out research to learn its function and method of application. Like Qiangu Dongfeng, most of the bidders here today were aware that the military had yet to crack the mysteries of the Ice God’s Heart, but they still hoped to take it back to undergo a series of studies.

Qiangu Dongfeng was right. If someone were to find out the application method for the Ice God’s Heart, it would still be considered worth paying even trillions. A divine weapon was not something one could come by on a regular basis!

Qiangu Dongfeng was not in a rush to bid, but he watched with cold eyes as the others fought for it.

Naturally, bidding for such an extremely valuable item was not something that everyone could take part in. There was a very small group of people that could participate in the auction. Only representatives from four clans were bidding. The price continued rising and soon surpassed six billion Federation coins.

The price was not considered too high considering the energy contained in the Ice God’s Heart. However, the participating bidders were not overly enthusiastic because the fact was that nobody knew how to make use of that energy.

The auctioneer quoted the bid while he continued to expound on the numerous qualities of the Ice God’s Heart. He had mentioned something about how having the Heart would allow anything to remain decay-free for a million years.

Qiangu Dongfeng’s lips curled into a smile. ‘We’re not buying a coffin. What’s the purpose of being decay-free for a million years?”

Gu Yuena’s gaze was calm, as if the Ice God’s Heart was unrelated to herself.

In reality, she had come here with Qiangu Dongfeng today because she had told him that she could use the Ice God’s Heart to control her state of mind so she could break through to the Spirit Domain spiritual level in the shortest period of time.

Her martial soul was elemental control which allowed her to command all sorts of elements simultaneously. The significance of spiritual power was more important to her than to any other soul master. One could even say that her spiritual power would determine the speed she could elevate her cultivation base.

Even though she was the disciple of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, her presence was valued by Qiangu Dongfeng ever since she passed the reserve spiriter examination with ease. She was too young. At the age of only twenty-one years old, her cultivation base had already broken through to eight rings. She was definitely the future of the Spirit Pagoda.

More importantly, the Spirit Pagoda was currently empowered because of Gu Yuena’s research.

One month ago, in view of Gu Yuena’s contributions to Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Dongfeng did his utmost to override all objections and installed her as one of the four great spiriters of Spirit Pagoda, even though she had yet to achieve the rank of Title Douluo. This made her the youngest spiriter in the history of the Spirit Pagoda.

Qiangu Dongfeng once questioned Gu Yuena as to how he could reward her, given that her research was truly of the utmost importance. How could he not rope in Gu Yuena when she was so gifted with natural talent? Moreover, Qiangu Dongfeng expected that her research would advance even further. If that was the case, he would certainly be able to get closer to his goal. In time, Qiangu Dongfeng believed that he would be able to not only exercise control over the Douluo Continent, but the Star Luo Continent and the Dou Spirit Continent would also be under the Spirit Pagoda’s control provided that nothing got in the way. Then, he could proceed to the next step to gaining control over the entire Douluo Planet.

Thus, in Qiangu Dongfeng’s eyes, Gu Yuena was definitely the most precious treasure in the entire Spirit Pagoda. He treated her as if she was his own child.

At first, Gu Yuena did not have any particular requests until Qiangu Dongfeng told her about the auction market’s auction recently. Moreover, he attracted her attention when he told her about the Ice God’s Heart.

Even though she had only seen it in photos, Gu Yuena swiftly informed Qiangu Dongfeng that she must acquire the Ice God’s Heart. With it, she could make a breakthrough to Spirit Domain spiritual level and as a result, she could be promoted to Title Douluo within a year.
