Chapter 567 - 257: Isn’t This Also a Form of Fishing?

Celestial Secret City, the city with the highest transaction volume and influx of foreign population on this continent, bar none.

As the headquarters of the continent’s largest intelligence agency, Celestial Secret Tower, it’s undoubtedly a cultivator city that many cultivators have a love-hate relationship with.

This place is a gold-sinking pit, a vanity fair, a place of flirtation, a bone melting cave, a place where dreams of soaring high begin, and a blood pool for those who lose everything.

Some say its inclusivity is the highest on the continent, accommodating all levels of society.

Some say its mystery is unmatched across the continent, holding countless secrets that can make one wealthy overnight.

Others say it’s actually the hidden base of the Demon Sect and Transformed Demon Cultivators, full of monsters that eat people without leaving a trace.

Stories of soaring success and sudden downfall are replayed here every day, as rebellious young geniuses and long-time cultivation giants vie for glory, with countless ideas sparking inspiration capable of changing the era.

If Lu Wenwu were to make a judgment, his appraisal would be: Yes, they are all correct.

This is Celestial Secret City.

A magical mega-city in the cultivation realm, full of cyberpunk implications.

In just two days here, he had already witnessed the prosperous coexistence of the three major forces of the Righteous Dao, Demonic Dao, and Transformed Demon Cultivators.

Of course, the surface only shows the Righteous Cultivators.

But with thousands of ways on the cultivation path, some methods are bound to slip through, undetectable by arrays and Righteous Cultivators.

Just what Lu Wenwu knows amounts to no less than thirty methods, and two days ago he casually picked the simplest one to sneak in.

At that time, the spirit stone guard at the city gate had kindly greeted him because of his generous spending.

Among these concealing methods, the most magical is the infamous Bone Transformation Technique, allegedly created by the Demon Monarch of Ten Thousand Transformations before his ascension.

After practicing to Minor Achievement, one can freely alter their skeletal features, height, weight, and appearance. Achieving Great Success allows one to freely modify their physiological structure and switch between ninety-seven genders, quite zzzq.

If practiced to Perfection, it’s said that one can even change race and innate talent, turning from a natural failure into a peerless genius isn’t just a dream.

Why does Lu Wenwu know this so well?

Because the Dragon Race holds it in their collection, and Lu Wenwu used it to transform into the likeness of Daniel Wu and sneak in.

The creator harbored great aspirations, intending through certain challenging demonic techniques to human ethical norms, to create a world where everyone is like a dragon and a peerless talent.

After thoroughly understanding and practicing it, Lu Wenwu felt profound admiration for the Demon Monarch of Ten Thousand Transformations’ ideas but held doubt regarding his intelligence.

Mainly because this technique...

At least requires the Nascent Soul stage to rely on the Nascent Soul’s mystical capabilities for cultivation; only peerless geniuses can enter, and Divinity Transformation is required for Perfection, while needing ample flesh and blood for support...

Lu Wenwu struggled to reach Minor Achievement even under the guidance of the Old Dragon King.

So, it’s quite silly.

Geniuses can’t use it, and failures can’t cultivate it.

The traditional Demon Sect Technique is more practical; it allows you to cultivate as long as you dare to kill.

"Hello sir, your seat is in the Celestial Character Area, north side, No. 413. Please enter through the exclusive Celestial Character passage to your right."

Just as Lu Wenwu was looking at the passing guests with the Eye of Analysis, a sweet voice brought him back to his senses.

"Thank you."

Lu Wenwu reached out to receive the identity token handed over by the maid, carefully storing away the black hooded robe and white mask given by the Celestial Secret City auction to cover aura, voice, and appearance, then strode into the venue.

He was already showing a false appearance, so there was no need for extra measures.

Besides, the items weren’t very comfortable to wear.

This time, there was no need to cosplay as Xiao Yan.

However... he hadn’t expected to make it to the auction. When he arrived, Lu Wenwu thought he had missed it.

He finally experienced a must-see event for cultivators, folks at home.

Without attending a cultivation realm specialty auction, could you confidently call yourself a transmigrator? A cultivator?

Could you confidently say you came into the Otherworld after transmigrating?

Stepping into the venue’s interior, the space inside is astonishingly large, somewhat resembling the scene of watching a concert or esports match in a stadium in his past life, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people simultaneously.

Below in the center is the auction platform for this event.

Above the entire auction platform is a projection device crafted using cultivation means, similar to a holographic projection, capable of presenting the auction items’ appearances to bidders without any blind spots in 360 degrees.

As the old saying goes, all roads lead to Rome.

Whether cultivation civilization or technological civilization, as long as there are no shortcomings, upon developing to a certain extent, many things have mutual substitutes, possibly even better than the other.

Lu Wenwu found his seat in the fourth row, No. 13, directly facing the auctioneer with an open view, and adjacent positions separated far apart.

Around the sofa-like seat were U-shaped barriers and a small concealing array ensuring privacy, an excellent position second only to private rooms, requiring at least millions of low-grade spirit stones to afford sitting here.

He was actually qualified to enter private rooms, even having a figure of Vice Tower Master level from Celestial Secret Tower personally accompany him.
