Majority of the powerhouses knew about the Desolateness Sanctuary.
It was a forbidden place, and it was true that Ancestral Gods had fallen there.
However, it was full of dangers. Even a Grand Emperor might not survive if he encountered trouble.
Therefore, very few Grand Emperors were willing to step into the Desolateness Sanctuary for the boons there. Only a few daredevils were willing to risk their lives.
After hearing Yulia’s explanation, many powerhouses immediately agreed that an item unearthed from the Desolateness Sanctuary was indeed worth a few Path Stones.
They were convinced to spend a few Path Stones to see if they could gain anything from the ancient scroll.
“I’ll bid five Path Stones.”
“I’ll bid ten Path Stones!”
A few powerhouses immediately made bids for it.
However, the bidding progressed very slowly.
When the bid for the ancient scroll reached thirty Path Stones, the bidding stopped.
No one thought it was worth more than thirty Path Stones.
Even a powerful family like the Oscars could not figure out the ancient scroll. Therefore, they might not be able to put it to use even if they were to win the bid. Hence, most of them did not want to buy such a useless thing and were more interested in getting practical stuff.
However, the Oscars felt the ancient scroll was priceless.
They expected the ancient scroll to be sold for at least three thousand Path Stones. Therefore, they specified that the bid had to be at least five Path Stones higher each time.
However, the situation was different from what they expected.
Seeing that no one was willing to bid after thirty Path Stones, James pressed the button on his table and said, “Forty Path Stones.”
James felt that he could buy the ancient scroll to study it.
The Oscars could not figure it out, but Emperor Jabari might be able to comprehend it.
He might actually gain something from it.
As soon as James made a bid, Kai also followed.
“Forty-five Path Stones!”
Kai had no interest in the ancient scroll but just wanted to get in James’ way.
He was furious with James. Seeing that James wanted to bid for something, he wanted to make James spend more money on it.
James calmly made another bid, “Fifty Path Stones.”
