Chapter 40: Biji
Time passed, and Jiang Li changed into a formal and proper outfit. He left the room and made his way to the auction stage of the Star Dou Auction House.
He faced the curious gazes of the crowd, with a confident smile on his face, ready to begin the auction.
"Welcome, everyone, to the Star Dou Auction House. The auction will officially begin now."
Jiang Li's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the auction house.
His words were like the sound of a horn, officially starting the auction.
The people in the crowd immediately quieted down, all eyes focusing on Jiang Li as they eagerly awaited the first item to be auctioned.
Just as Jiang Li was about to present the first auction item, a sudden noise came from outside the door.
This unexpected sound broke the brief silence in the auction house.
Everyone turned their heads toward the direction of the door.
Soon, as the door slowly opened, a middle-aged man in a black robe stepped into the Star Dou Auction House.
Jiang Li glanced over and his eyes flashed with surprise. It seemed that Emperor Tian had arrived.
And just in time.
With his arrival, it seemed that the upcoming auction items would undergo some changes.
Jiang Li's gaze fell on Emperor Tian, and then he saw behind him, a stunning woman in a green long dress following closely.
The woman radiated a powerful life force.
Jiang Li immediately understood that this was one of the fearsome beasts, the Emerald Swan Biji, who had lived for over 500,000 years.
As the person involved, Biji was highly interested in the Star Dou Auction House.
On one hand, she had heard that the Star Dou Auction House had two Ultimate Douluo-level powerhouses, and she was particularly curious about the soul master with the extreme life attribute.
As a member of the Emerald Swan clan, Biji naturally understood how powerful the extreme life attribute was.
Since her birth, she had never encountered a soul master or soul beast with the extreme life attribute.
Yet, the Star Dou Auction House possessed an Ultimate Douluo with this extreme life attribute—how could she not be curious?
Therefore, she had come to the auction house with Emperor Tian, wanting to see this woman for herself.
The aura around Emperor Tian unconsciously released an inexplicable pressure, like an invisible hammer, forcefully hitting everyone's heart.
This caused everyone present to tremble and involuntarily cast their gazes upon him.
Their eyes were full of wariness and confusion, and a thought simultaneously arose in their minds.
Who exactly is this person?
Why does he possess such a terrifying and chilling aura?
Moreover, his face was extremely unfamiliar to everyone. When did such a top powerhouse silently emerge in the Douluo Continent?
"Emperor Tian? Impossible!"
"How could he leave the Star Dou Forest and come here?"
Elder Mu squinted his eyes, staring at Emperor Tian with a look of confusion. The familiar face caused his pupils to contract sharply.
His body stiffened uncontrollably, muscles tensing as his whole body entered a state of high alert, and his heart became even heavier.
Emperor Tian was the Beast God of the Star Dou Forest, the undisputed strongest soul beast.
Elder Mu had naturally met Emperor Tian when he was young, but even at his peak, he wasn't Emperor Tian's match.
That experience had become a permanent shadow in his heart, and it had given him a deep understanding of Emperor Tian's power.
Now, seeing Emperor Tian here, Elder Mu was filled with doubts and unease.
He secretly speculated about why Emperor Tian would suddenly leave the Star Dou Forest and appear at the human auction.
Could it be that there was some sinister scheme at play?
Or perhaps the soul beast faction was plotting something big?
These thoughts tangled in Elder Mu's mind like a mess, making him feel extremely restless.
Elder Mu shifted his gaze from Emperor Tian to Jiang Li, who was standing at the auction stage.
He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Did the Star Dou Auction House invite the soul beast faction to attend the auction?"
However, Emperor Tian's strength was immeasurable. He was the Beast God of the Star Dou Forest, and behind him were numerous powerful soul beasts.
Even though the Star Dou Auction House had two Ultimate Douluo-level powerhouses with extreme attributes, against the powerful lineup of the soul beast faction, it would be hard to resist, and the chances of winning were slim.
"Mu Lao, is this the Beast God Emperor Tian of the Star Dou Forest?"
At this moment, Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe, who were sitting next to Elder Mu, looked at Mu Lao in surprise after hearing his whisper.
They had naturally heard of Emperor Tian's great fame, but since Emperor Tian had rarely appeared outside of the core of the Star Dou Forest, they had never seen his true face.
Now, seeing this seemingly ordinary man in front of them, who was actually the legendary Beast God Emperor Tian, Elder Xuan's heart was stirred.
They, like Elder Mu, were filled with curiosity and concern over Emperor Tian's sudden appearance.
Emperor Tian, the mysterious Beast God who had stayed in the core of the Star Dou Forest for years, why did he suddenly come to the human world?
As the Beast God, Emperor Tian completely ignored the gazes and speculations around him.
He walked with steady and firm steps, directly going upstairs, casually picking a seat, and slowly sitting down.
At this moment, Biji was quietly releasing her sensing ability, trying to detect the extreme life energy in the Star Dou Auction House.
However, to her disappointment, no matter how hard she focused, she couldn't detect the extreme life attribute energy anywhere in the auction house.
Could this information be false?
Biji couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt and disappointment.
In other corners of the auction house, the powerful individuals from various factions also hadn't seen Emperor Tian's face.
They felt his overwhelming aura and mysterious appearance, but all of them mistook him for a top Title Douluo powerhouse hiding from the world in the Douluo Continent.
However, the excitement of the auction quickly captured everyone's attention.
Soon, the crowd was drawn to the upcoming auction, and they no longer paid much attention to Emperor Tian and Biji.
"Emperor Tian, did you sense anything from the Star Dou Auction House?"
Biji, sitting beside Emperor Tian, quietly asked.
Emperor Tian slightly furrowed his brows, his gaze sweeping across the entire auction house. Then, he softly spoke:
"From my perception, there are three powerful individuals hidden within the Star Dou Auction House, each emitting a dangerous aura."
"Two of them should be the Ultimate Douluo with extreme life and extreme lightning attributes from the Star Dou Auction House. I've felt their aura before, so I could recognize them now."
At this point, Emperor Tian paused for a moment, his expression becoming even more serious. He lifted his gaze toward one of the unfamiliar rooms on the fifth floor.
