This was an ancient battlefield connected to the nine continents. During the ancient era, countless supreme elders must have been buried here. Their dao inheritances and heaven-defying karmic luck were enough to move countless people's hearts.
"However, we discovered that not only is that place filled with the Dao Buried in the Celestial country, there are also several other top powers whose strengths aren't any weaker than the Celestial country. I'm afraid that there will be a few battles that will erupt later on."
Yi He looked at the crowd and said, "Of course, it's still too early to say that. Prepare for the Great immortal competition first. After all, only those who remain are qualified to go to the burial sites."
"Fourth Prince is right." Lu Xiao nodded slightly. An unfathomable look flashed in her calm eyes. It was impossible to guess what she was thinking.
Yin Rong and Zhao Junye also had serious expressions on their faces. This time's Large Competition would determine their future fate.
If they succeeded in staying, their future achievements would be limitless, and if they were sent back to Qing Xuan, although they would be able to enjoy the resources of an immortal country, they would still be far from being able to compare with the Asura Hell. As time passed, the gap between them would become larger and larger, eventually becoming the people of two different worlds.
Naturally, they weren't willing to become losers.
"All of you can go back now. I'll be waiting for your performances in two days." Yi said as he swept his gaze across the crowd.
As the sound of his voice faded, everyone left the great hall, each having their own ulterior motives.
On the way back to the restaurant, Qin Xuan suddenly stopped. He looked curiously at Mu Jinyu and asked, "Isn't it said that the Immortal State has two emperors who are listed in the 72 Emperors? Besides Yi, who else is there?"
"His bodyguard, Zhou Dao." Mu Jinyu asked.
"Guards?" Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He was very surprised by the answer.
A single guard was actually able to be ranked on the Heavenly Rankings, becoming one of the outstanding Emperor Realm characters of the Asura Hell. Just how strong would his talent be?
Was he really a bodyguard?
Mu Jinyu's eyes turned to Qin Xuan and said, "Zhou Dao is the adopted son of the country's king. Since he is similar in age to Yi, they have cultivated together and enjoyed the best cultivation resources. From this, it can be seen that he isn't someone the other guards can compare with."
"So that's how it is." Qin Xuan suddenly realized that if it was just an ordinary guard, then his talent was too terrifying.
Because of his exceptional talent, the Emperor of the Nine Heavens Immortal Countries was likely able to accept him as his foster son and did his best to nurture him. If he was an ordinary talent, even if he possessed the best cultivation resources, he would still only be able to reach the first-rate realm; he wouldn't be listed in the seventy-two Emperors.
"Our opponents are the other three palaces. As long as we can defeat two of them, we'll be able to stay." After all, the power of the Imperial Palace was too strong, and they had no way to fight against it.
"Don't worry, everything will be as you wish." Qin Xuan smiled confidently as he comforted Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu looked at white-clothed youth. He was handsome and had peerless beauty. There seemed to be a strange power radiating from him, causing people to feel an indescribable sense of security. It was as though nothing unexpected would happen with him here.
For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded, as if she had fallen into it and was somewhat infatuated with that feeling.
"Am I that good-looking?"
A playful laughter sounded out. Mu Jinyu immediately recovered from her shock and rolled her eyes at him. She whispered, "You think too much."
With that, she continued walking, leaving Qin Xuan alone.
"So be it, why aren't you admitting it?" Qin Xuan couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he saw a different Mu Jinyu.
Ever since Qin Xuan and the others left the palace, endless discussions broke out in the Nine Heavens City about the ranking of the Large Competition. There was even a gambling house where people bet on which palace would be the last.
The Royal Palace wasn't in the gambling house. It was only because the Royal Palace was too strong. They had crushed four palaces. They were destined to be number one, without a doubt.
Other than the palace, the one with the highest payout was the Lu King Palace, followed by the Zhao Palace, Yin King Palace, and Mu Palace.
Although Qin Xuan had broken through the worrisome array and won some prestige for the Mu palace, the Mu palace had always been the last place in the competition. It was the first to be eliminated and there was no exception. This caused the people of Nine Heavens City to have no confidence in the Mu palace.
Even though the odds of the Mu palace were ridiculously low, there were still a lot of people betting. It was clear that not many people thought highly of the Mu palace and were not willing to waste their own Yuan Coin s.
The news of the bet quickly spread to the ears of those in the Mu palace. When they learned that the Mu palace's payout rate was the lowest, the rage in their hearts soared to the skies, as though they had been humiliated to the extreme.
However, they knew clearly in their hearts that the reason why the odds were so low was because the Mu Palace had suffered such a terrible defeat.
As for Mu Jinyu, she did not care too much about it. No matter what the odds were, it was based on the people's view of the Mu palace. As long as the Mu palace displayed its power in the Large Competition, the odds would naturally change.
Star Pavilion was the largest gambling den in Nine Heavens City. The gambling house at the end of the Large Competition was opened by the Star Pavilion.
At this moment, within the Star Pavilion, there was a clamor of noise. Many people had gathered here and were all in a hurry to place their bets. At this moment, a figure in white came over. It was Qin Xuan.
"What's the highest payout?" Qin Xuan looked at the person beside him and asked.
"A ratio of one to one hundred, Lu King Palace being the last." the man replied.
"Only a hundred?" Qin Xuan could not help but frown. It was lower than he had expected, and he felt that he was at a disadvantage. Moreover, he did not know the strength of the King Lu Palace, nor did he know the probability of him being ranked last.
"What's the odds of Mu Palace winning first place among the four palaces?" Qin Xuan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked. That man was standing in the middle of the crowd, and he seemed to be someone from the Star Pavilion.
That middle-aged man was the Vice President of the Star Point Pavilion, Pavilion Master. He was in charge of this gamble.
As Qin Xuan's voice faded, the Star Pavilion became exceptionally quiet. The atmosphere inside was somewhat strange.
Ye Zichen looked at Qin Xuan with a weird look, thinking that he heard wrong.
Right now, he was betting on the last position. If he was betting on the Mu Clan's last place, there shouldn't be a problem. However, he seemed to be betting on the number one position, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately asked for the odds.
"What did you say?" The Star Pavilion Deputy Pavilion Master revealed a trace of dignity on his face as he stared at Qin Xuan. He felt that Qin Xuan was purposely causing trouble here.
"We're betting on the Mu Clan being the strongest of the four palaces. How many odds does the Star Pavilion intend to open this bet?" Qin Xuan repeated.
"The Large Competition hasn't started yet. If you want to bet on first place, you should come back later." He was already trying his best to restrain himself, otherwise, he would have to forcefully chase them away at this moment.
"Should the competition begin? There doesn't seem to be a conflict between the two of us, the Mu Clan's first ranker and the Mu Clan's third ranker." Qin Xuan glanced at Pavilion Master and said lightly.
Vice Pavilion Master went silent. There was indeed no conflict between the two.
This person was directly betting on the Mu Clan's number one spot, and it could be said that he was betting all his life on this gamble. Unless the Mu Clan persisted to the very end, no matter what happened, the Star Pavilion would always make a profit and would not pay any price.
Given the Mu Clan's strength, it was hard to say whether they would be able to survive the fight, let alone get first place.
Thinking of that, he looked at Qin Xuan again and said: "Since you want to bet, then I'll satisfy you. Mu King Palace being first, the odds are one to five hundred, but the stakes are at least five million Yuan Coin. Do you dare?"
