Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primal Tenfold Talent

The World Lord-level powerhouses lined up ahead.

Many of them were old acquaintances, standing in twos and threes, talking quietly about the rare items that might appear at the auction, the major events that had recently occurred in the universe, or the bottlenecks and insights they had encountered in their own cultivation.

As for Meng Jingrong and his two companions at the rear of the group, none of these knowledgeable Realm Lord-level experts dared to underestimate them.

In their eyes, the combination of these three people should be an immortal leading two juniors at the Eternal Star level.

Although they are all ordinary bodies in the virtual universe, the unique soul will of immortality contained within them is still easy to distinguish.

As the group slowly moved forward, it was finally Meng Jingrong and his two companions' turn.

A staff member in a white uniform approached with a gentle smile: "Hello, sir and madam, welcome to this year's Flame Dragon Auction! Here are your seating tokens, please keep them safe."

Meng Jingrong reached out and took the three tokens, which were entirely black and engraved with dragon patterns.

Each token has a semi-transparent screen embedded in it, clearly displaying the corresponding seat number—D16 area 111, 112, 113.

Since the three of them came together, the auction staff thoughtfully arranged for them to sit in adjacent areas.

Stepping inside the auction hall, the scene before you is even more breathtaking.

The entire auction hall was like a football stadium on Earth, with densely packed seats all around, each seat being six meters wide and ten meters high.

It was clearly designed to accommodate strong individuals of different sizes and races within the human population.

Meng Jingrong and his group quickly found their seats according to the seat numbers on their tokens and sat down in turn.

The three of them are similar in size to Earthlings, but sitting on this huge six-meter-wide seat, they appear exceptionally small, like three small potatoes placed on it, creating a wonderful and humorous contrast.

Powerful figures from various star regions and forces across the universe either conversed in hushed tones or closed their eyes in deep concentration, all quietly awaiting the commencement of this grand event.

After half an hour.

"Gentlemen!"

A clear yet penetrating voice resounded throughout the entire hall, instantly covering every corner of the auction room.

The vast auction hall fell silent instantly. Everyone consciously stopped talking and turned their gazes to the center of the hall.

Meng Jingrong also turned his head, his gaze passing through the dense array of giant thrones and landing on the center of the auction hall.

There stood a handsome young man with a single horn on his head, dressed in a magnificent robe embroidered with a dragon motif, in the center of the auction hall.

A three-dimensional phantom, thousands of meters tall, slowly coalesced, clearly projecting the boy's appearance into every corner of the arena. Even the powerful figures sitting at the very edge could clearly see his expression and demeanor.

"Welcome to this year's Yanlong Auction!"

A gentle yet dignified smile graced the young man's face as his voice resonated throughout the hall, "First of all, on behalf of the Flame Dragon Auction House, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Virtual Universe Company, Giant Axe Arena, Cosmic Galaxy Bank, Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and the official government of the Flame Dragon Universe Kingdom for their tremendous support. It is thanks to the support of all parties that this grand event spanning across star systems has been made possible!"

"I believe many of my old friends here will recognize me."

The young man nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of familiarity, "You may all call me Mu Tuo. I will once again be hosting this grand event, a gathering of the universe's rarest treasures!"

Mu Tuo continued without pausing, raising his voice, "The last Flame Dragon Auction had a total of 1576052 participants. And just now, the latest data for this year's auction has been released—why don't you all guess how many powerful figures have gathered here this time?"

After a brief build-up of suspense, Mu Tuo revealed the answer, word by word: "1765532 people! Compared to the previous session, that's an increase of nearly two hundred thousand! This is not only a glory for the Yanlong Auction, but also a testament to the ever-growing influence of our Yanlong Universe Kingdom in the universe!"

"Enough with the small talk!"

"The Yanlong Auction of this year has officially begun!"

The sound was thunderous, like that of a god.

A dazzling light burst forth from the high platform in the center of the auction hall, with golden halos spreading out like flowing water, illuminating the faces of the powerful figures on the giant thrones around them, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Next, we will officially begin the auction!"

Muto raised his hand to indicate, "The auction tokens in everyone's hands have been activated simultaneously. You can now view the basic information of the 1000 items that will be auctioned in this session, including their names, categories, and starting prices."

"Friends who wish to bid on their favorite treasures, please prepare in advance. Simply enter your bid on the token, and the system will update the highest bid in real time!" The young man, Muto, spoke in a clear and resonant voice that echoed throughout the venue.

In an instant, the auction hall fell silent.

Countless powerful figures on their thrones lowered their heads, carefully examining the 1000 items about to be auctioned on the tokens.

"Now, let's welcome our first item!"

Mutuo raised his hand to the side, and in the next instant, a huge virtual light screen appeared out of thin air in the center of the auction hall. The screen clearly showed a vast planet that was entirely green and shrouded in mist. The planet's surface exuded a faint aura of life, and even through the light screen, one could sense its extraordinary essence.

"Those interested in bidding for this treasure, please prepare yourselves!"

Muto's voice rang out again, tinged with solemnity, "The first item up for auction this time—a 100-year residency right on Mother Planet!"

The moment the words "Mother Ancestral Star" were uttered, even the most knowledgeable and powerful immortals were moved.

The 'Mother Ancestor Star' is very special among humankind. This planet has a diameter of 10081 billion kilometers and is guarded by a great being of the level of a cosmic sovereign for many years. The planet's interior is full of opportunities and is also the homeland of the first cosmic sovereign of humankind, the 'Mother Ancestor'.

"The right to reside on Mother Planet is extremely rare. The starting price is 600 Mixed Yuan Units. The highest bidder will have the right to reside on this legendary planet for one hundred years!" Muto's voice carried just the right amount of incitement.

Immediately, many people in the auction hall began to place bids.

"700 Mixed Yuan Units".

"800 Mixed Yuan Units".

Prices immediately soared.

This scene puzzled Meng Jingrong, who was sitting in a distant seat: "Pudding, check the detailed information of the Mother Ancestral Star."

"Yes, Master."

Pudding quickly responded, "Retrieving information about Mother Planet... Sorry, Master, you do not have sufficient permissions. Currently, the only information available is that Mother Planet is the home of 'Mother Planet'. All other information is encrypted and cannot be retrieved."

Meng Jingrong nodded slightly; it concerned the Lord of the Universe, so he wasn't surprised.

900 Mixed Yuan Units! 1230 Mixed Yuan Units! 1350 Mixed Yuan Units! ...

In the blink of an eye, it turned into '1760 Mixed Units'!

1960……1968……1975……The rate of increase slowed down.

"2300 Mixed Yuan Units!" The sudden appearance of this number silenced the auction hall, and no one made any further bids.

"2300 Mixed Yuan Units, countdown three seconds, 3, 2, 1... Congratulations to guest number A06-007, you have won the right to reside on Mother Planet for one hundred years." Mu Tuo's voice was loud and clear, with a hint of excitement.

Looking at the transaction price, Meng Jingrong was also somewhat moved. The final transaction price was close to the total value of the treasures belonging to Mu Feng and the others.

"Master, the Mother Ancestral Star must contain a great secret, which is why it shows insufficient permissions. The person who bought the right to reside here is most likely an immortal being," Pudding said.

Meng Jingrong nodded silently, agreeing with Pudding's deduction, and turned his gaze back to the center of the auction hall.

The auction continued, and the first three items were all quite valuable, with the lowest being over 1000 Chaos Units. Almost all the bidders were Immortal-level beings.

Meng Jingrong focused his consciousness on the auction token, and all the information about the subsequent 1000 items was clearly displayed before his eyes.

Auction items in batches 102-106

Master the Five Divine Weapons!

The Divine Weapon of Evolution: One of the five divine weapons wielded by Spiritual Masters, its full name is "Hun Tian Yan" or "Ninefold Hun Tian Yan". In its normal form, the Divine Weapon of Evolution is a dark golden rod containing 10081 thin, cicada-wing-like golden swords, each containing incomparably profound primordial law runes...

The Divine Weapon of the Universe, the foremost of the five divine weapons wielded by spirit masters, is a divine weapon forged by fusing the two most profound fundamental laws: 'time' and 'space'...

The Divine Rift Weapon, one of the five divine weapons wielded by Spiritual Masters, combines 'wind' and 'space'...

......

Meng Jingrong shook his head. He remembered that in the original story, the Spirit Master controller originally had nine divine weapons, but now there are only five.

However, the Golden Horn Clan has indeed existed for a very long time, and the divine weapons created by Herodo have already spread among human races.

Meng Jingrong sighed softly. With his current understanding of the laws, he was fully capable of activating immortal-level weapons. The "Lofu Pipa" that appeared in the original work was a perfect match for him.

But that treasure is worth millions of Chaos Units, which is beyond his current consideration.

If we're talking about weapons below the Immortal level, then the five divine weapons of the Controller are undoubtedly the most cost-effective.

The God-Splitter Weapons, starting bid 5000 billion cosmic coins, twelve pieces in total!

Yu Shenbing, starting bid 20 Hunyuan Units, one item only!

The crafting process of the Divine Weapon is extremely complex. It not only requires a large amount of extremely rare cosmic materials, but also demands that the craftsman have a profound understanding of the laws of time and space. Neither of these two aspects can be lacking.

Looking across the human race, there are very few immortal-level weapon-forging masters who can meet this condition, which makes the value of the Divine Weapon far exceed its actual utility, making it extremely rare.

Among the five divine weapons of the Spirit Master, the Yu Divine Weapon is the most unique, being both the strongest and the weakest.

It is called the strongest because, under the same conditions, the power unleashed by each form of the Yu Shenbing far surpasses that of the other four divine weapons.

It is the weakest because its activation threshold is extremely high.

Users must have a profound understanding of the laws of spacetime, and neither of these aspects can be lacking. Otherwise, not only will they be unable to unleash the true power of the Divine Weapon, but they will be better off using other divine weapons that specialize in a single superior law.
