SPOILER ALERT Li Xuan, a cunning and cold-hearted auctioneer, has set his sights on dominating not just the Lower Realms, but the entire universe. Gifted with an extraordinary mind technique—the Voidheart Enlightenment Sutra—he can manipulate fate itself, solidifying his power and wealth with each calculated move. His ascent is driven by the accumulation of treasures, knowledge, and influence, but the true cost of his rise is the ruthless destruction of anyone standing in his path. In a world where strength dictates survival, Li Xuan’s ambitions extend far beyond the mere collection of riches. As he navigates the complex web of power, betrayal, and politics, he cultivates not only his own strength but manipulates the destinies of those around him. With his auction house, the Karmic Refinement Pavilion, at the center of his operations, Li Xuan draws power from the deals he brokers, collecting ancient relics and arcane treasures while quietly bending fate to his advantage. As Li Xuan gains control over the Lower Realms, and secures his place as an influential player in the Upper Realms, his plans take an even darker turn. Using his forbidden technique, he forces himself to endure unimaginable pain, ascending to greater heights while exploring the depths of karma and fate. With a vast network of loyal generals and elites under his command, he rises to orchestrate a cosmic-scale auction—the Celestial Auction, where immortals, gods, and powers beyond mortal understanding gather to trade life-altering artifacts and secrets. However, as his power grows, so does the price of his ambition. Betrayals from former allies, doubts within his ranks, and forces beyond his control threaten to destabilize his meticulously crafted empire. In the shadows, ancient immortal forces begin to stir, and Li Xuan must decide whether he will solidify his rule or face the collapse of everything he has built. Heaven Auctioneer: Monarchs of the Million Realm is a dark fantasy journey of manipulation, power, and the relentless pursuit of dominance. With a heart as cold as his ambition, Li Xuan will stop at nothing to secure his place as the supreme ruler of the realms. But as he walks the razor's edge between enlightenment and madness, he must confront the true cost of manipulating fate itself.
