Number One Under Heaven

Chapter 86 - A Mother's Responsibility

"The highest bid goes to Lady Nuo with at least 300 billion Heavenly Jades! Are there any higher bidders?!"

300 Billion Heavenly Jades was an astronomical number even for these Ancient Goddesses and Big Families. Although they can afford it if they are willing to drop everything they own, it was something easier said than done. Despite their craze for the 9th Painting of Desire, it was not something they can easily do--- that is if they had any common sense left in them.

Jiutian Xuannu, bit her lips and raised her hand, "I offer my entire collection of Heavenly Swords! In it, there is 999 different Ancient Swords, 99 Heavenly Swords, 99 Chaotic Swords, 9 Dao Swords, and the one and only Heaven Sealing Godsword! If you sold all of it, then I can guarantee at least 750 billion Heavenly Jades!"

"WHAT?!?!?!" Everybody there, including Feng Li, Tian Yi's Mother, was shocked at her unexpected bid.

"Jiutian Xuannu, have you really gone mad?! As the Goddess of War, that collection is something worth more than your life! Without your weapons that you had spent your entire lifetime collecting, what would you be?!" Xi Wangmu yelled at her.

"...." Even the money loving Huan Yishu was shocked speechless. Although Jiutian Xuannu has not appeared in the World for more than a million years, her Legacy still remains as famous as if it was just created yesterday! Jiutian Xuannu, the Goddess who had single-handedly slew more enemies than every other God during a great War was hailed as the Goddess of War. Her feats during that war had impressed even the Celestial Emperor at that time, and she was offered a position in his Tian Family as his General, one of the very few high positions in the Universe only below the Celestial Emperor's Personal Servants! Everybody was certain that she would accept it, yet they were shocked the next day with the news of her refusing to serve the Celestial Emperor! Although refusing to work in the Celestial Emperor did not mean betrayal, it was something that has never happened before, until that day! Ever since that day, Jiutian Xuannu continued to wander the Starry Sky, increasing her Legend by appearing in many other Wars.

And the next thing that people would talk about after Jiutian Xuannu was, of course, her massive collection of Heavenly Weapons! Her collection of Heavenly Weapons were rumored to have this Universe's best Weapons, even better than the ones in the Imperial Tian Family! Just this alone already says the worth of the collection.

And as for Jiutian Xuannu who treats her collection as if it were her babies, selling it was something that has never crossed her mind, let alone actually doing it now! "I am as clear now as I will ever be!" She said.

Xi Wangmu could not believe her ears. 'She has truly gone mad after a million years of isolation!' She thought.

Other than participating in War and aiming for the Apex of Weapon Mastery, Jiutian Xuannu did nothing else. If there was no War, then she would practice her Weapon Mastery. If she was not practicing her Weapon Mastery, then there is a War ongoing somewhere in the Universe. Nobody knew why she was so obsessed with Wars, and nobody bothered to ask something so meaningless.

Jiutian Xuannu stared at Huan Yishu with her crimson red eyes, and Huan Yishu stared back at her. 'Crystal clear eyes... If she had gone crazy, she would not have such beautiful eyes. Why is she so desperate about getting his painting? This is not something at the level of a fangirl or that of love... But what other reasons does she have...?'

"Jiutian Xuannu offers her collection of Heavenly Weapons with at least a worth of 750 billion Heavenly Jade! Is there any higher bids?!"

"...."

"......"

The place turned silent; mostly because they are stunned by Jiutian Xuannu's actions, with the rest unable to outbid her.
