CHAPTER 798: CHAPTER 491: PLANET HUMAN MINE

"Greetings to the Bibo Dragon Emperor!"

As the figure made of water appeared, Cang Ya stood up, with Ji Xinghuo following her to salute the Dragon Emperor who was in mid-air.

All five Dragon Emperors of the True Dragon Dynasty were Eighth Rank Mutants.

Known as the Infinite Realm Masters!

This title, ever since Ji Xinghuo heard it from the Void Spirit Guest, he had kept it in mind, until today, when he finally encountered one.

It was the first time Ji Xinghuo had come into contact with such a high-rank Mutant; naturally, he was both curious and nervous. Under normal circumstances, he would not dare to look carelessly, but with so many people around, he had no such reservations.

What he saw was the water finally shaping into a tall female figure.

She had skin as smooth as pearls, her body wrapped in a light blue, simple and elegant dress made of lake water, her figure tall and her pose graceful, yet her facial features remained blurred, the transparent water flow constantly changing, making it difficult to see clearly.

Even so, anyone could feel her beauty.

Such "beauty" was not merely about physical appearance but also the extraordinary charm crafted from her powerful strength, reaching into people’s souls.

Ji Xinghuo felt awed.

A compulsion overtook him to observe this Infinite Realm Master with the Macro Heavenly Eye, but the moment the thought arose, warnings of danger flashed through his mind.

This was the Wanxiang Star Pupil cautioning him not to look recklessly!

"Terrifying!"

Ji Xinghuo was inwardly astounded.

Merely looking at her was dangerous, which suggested that the Bibo Dragon Emperor was highly likely to detect the Wanxiang Star Pupil’s prying.

He had no choice but to observe the Bibo Dragon Emperor with the naked eye, and through electromagnetic induction, the Infinite Realm Master’s presence seemed unremarkable, her aura and energy strength similar to those of the Shepherd Star Saints present, perhaps even somewhat weaker.

During his time on Donghuang Island, Ji Xinghuo often used the Macro Heavenly Eye to scan the entire island, observing several Shepherd Star Saints.

However, he had never detected the Bibo Dragon Emperor.

"Thank goodness I didn’t see her."

Even now, Ji Xinghuo felt a chill at his reckless impulse.

"This might only be an avatar of the Dragon Emperor," he speculated, watching the Dragon Emperor receiving the assembly’s homage, "But even an avatar is extremely terrifying, with all the Shepherd Star Saints being very respectful."

The Bibo Dragon Emperor scanned the auction hall, pausing only briefly over the VIP seats but without further gesture.

"Please be seated,"

Her voice resonated gently in everyone’s ears like a friend casually chatting.

"Welcome to Donghuang Island, and to this Cangming Auction."

"May you all return with full bounty."

The Bibo Dragon Emperor said a few simple opening words, and her figure dissipated into water currents.

Only then did the Mutants in the hall breathe a sigh of relief.

The Dragon Emperor’s strength was so overwhelming that her mere presence, even without any malice, made everyone highly tense. It was only now that people dared to sit down, including the Shepherd Star Saints, and the atmosphere in the auction hall became relaxed again.

Ji Xinghuo was also filled with emotion.

Just now, he was marveling at the strength of the Shepherd Star Saints; now that he had witnessed the might of an Infinite Realm Master, he truly understood what real strength was!

He turned to Cang Ya, "Can you see His Majesty at any time?"

"Of course."

Cang Ya nodded proudly.

"Awesome!" Ji Xinghuo gave a thumbs up. The power to see the Dragon Emperor anytime was, in itself, a form of strength.

No wonder Cang Ya, though merely a Legendary Dragon Lord and not yet advanced to the Sixth Rank Heavenly King, was untouchable by the Xukun Family.

But he was also a bit puzzled.

Such treatment was unique in the Canglong Family among core members below the Seventh Rank. In terms of talent, Cang Beiming was a notch higher; in terms of strength, there were several Sixth Rank Peak Dragon Lords in the Canglong Family who were much stronger than her.

Noticing Ji Xinghuo’s confusion, Cang Ya chuckled softly before saying, "Don’t guess wildly, and don’t spread it around."

"You tell me," Ji Xinghuo assured her he wouldn’t disclose it.

"Because I resemble His Majesty a lot."

As Cang Ya’s voice echoed in his mind, Ji Xinghuo was taken aback and curiously asked, "How much so?"

"I’m not sure," replied Cang Ya, "His Majesty told me that."

Ji Xinghuo immediately understood that she had never actually seen the true face of the Bibo Dragon Emperor and also grasped why Cang Ya always rejected the title "The Most Beautiful Woman of the Bibo Dragon Domain" and even appeared somewhat resistant to it.

Because Cang Ya believed the Dragon Emperor to be the most beautiful woman of the Bibo Dragon Domain, and she could not compare.

"The auction is starting!" Cang Ya announced.

Ji Xinghuo looked towards the center.

A water gate opened in the middle of the auction hall, and through it walked a tall man who appeared to be in his forties, with a stern face and a strong aura, dressed in a battle armor that resembled carved ice with the emblem of the Canglong Family on his chest.

Cang Ya introduced in a hushed tone: "This is Cang Hao, the Dragon Lord of our family, who oversees many family affairs, including the auction."

A Dragon Lord referred to a Seventh Rank Mutant who had advanced to become a Shepherd Star Saint but had not left nor founded a separate family.

"I am Cang Hao."

Cang Hao simply introduced himself, then began, "The first auction item is a planet with its own natural ecosystem and native races, the Star Gate coordinates are within the Sea Abyss but remain unopened."

With his introduction, a sphere of water coalesced in midair, displaying a slowly rotating planet.

The planet’s continents, oceans, and mountain ranges were vividly depicted.

The viewing perspective rapidly zoomed out from the planet’s orbit, revealing three satellites, along with the star of this system, and four other planets.

The star’s size, brightness, and orbital period;
