As for the other Emperor sutras, Cheng Hao indeed had no intention of collecting them.
One Dao Scripture was enough for him to reach the Emperor stage. As for the other Emperor sutras, he planned to collect them together with the nine esoteric symbols after he became Emperor. After that, he would go into closed-door cultivation to fuse all methods into his body and create the most suitable scripture for him to break through to the fourth stage!
He had even thought of the name of the scripture in advance. It would be called the "Haotian Scripture". It was simple, elegant, and full of style!
.....
The Ji family's stone workshop occupied a vast area, like a royal garden. Strange stones were scattered everywhere, beautiful trees were lush, and small bridges and flowing water were flowing. The scenery was very pleasant.
Many stones were naturally piled up, and each stone garden had its own unique scenery. Some stone gardens were misty, like a water village in the Southern Region. Some stone gardens had maple trees swaying, like the Northern Region's red leaves fluttering in the wind.
The entrance of the Ji family's stone workshop was already crowded. Many cultivators had gathered here and were constantly squeezing in, as if there was a good show to watch inside.
Following Cheng Hao to the entrance of the Ji family's stone workshop, Jiang Taixu said in surprise, "Strange, although the stone workshop used to be lively, the business wasn't so good, right?"
By the side, a horse-faced cultivator explained, "Hey bro, your news is too outdated. Two Genesis technique geniuses are currently having a showdown in the stone workshop, which naturally attracted quite a number of cultivators. The Ji clan's stone workshop is currently facing a formidable enemy, and ordinary cultivators have long been barred from entering."
"I see!"
Jiang Taixu nodded in thanks, and then an invisible pressure spread out. The people in front of him and Cheng Hao involuntarily moved to the side, opening a path for them.
"Elder, after you!" Jiang Taixu gestured with his hand.
With a smile, Cheng Hao did not bother with pleasantries. He took a step forward and directly entered the stone house. With a casual glance, he saw Ye Fan, who was gambling with someone in the stone house.
"The Heaven Tier Stone Garden of the sacred ground is a sacred place. True Genesis technique experts will fight their way in. We don't need to start from the first level of the Stone Garden and use the lake shore as our starting point. If we can't find a Genesis source of the same level, there's no need to enter the Sacred Stone Garden. What do you think?"
Opposite Ye Fan was a young and handsome man in a golden robe. He had a disdainful expression on his face. After giving his opinion, he merely glanced at Ye Fan before raising his head high with a look of disdain.
"That's right. If the gap between our Genesis techniques is too great, there is no need for brother Tuoba to waste time."
"It should be so. If you can't cut out a source of the same level, what's the point of entering the Ji Family's Sacred Stone Garden?"
There were many young cultivators clustered around the golden-robed man. They looked like lackeys as they constantly mocked Ye Fan.
"Alright then, go ahead and choose your stone." Ye Fan had nothing much to say to him, so he nodded in agreement.
By the lakeside, there were patches of vegetation and pavilions, but there were very few stones.
One of the Ji Family's Genesis masters stepped forward and said with a bitter smile, "There are no stones here, only a few scattered garden stones."
The golden-robed young man shook his head. "No, in my opinion, there are still some precious stones here. You just need to have a discerning eye."
Everyone present was astonished. There were no stones by the lakeside, only common waste stones that were used as ornaments for the garden, such as on the roots of ancient trees or beside old vines.
"Taixu, which of these garden stones do you think will yield something good?"
Cheng Hao did not activate the remarkable ability of his left eye. Since he had come to the stone gambling house, he wanted the joy of the unknown. Life would be too boring if he could see through everything with a single glance.
He wanted to try and see if he could get a real stone by relying on his luck without using any cheats.
"This … this junior does not know any Genesis techniques, and every Origin Stone has the ability to isolate Divine Sense. Based on mere guesses, I am unable to guess which stone contains the treasure." Jiang Taixu shook his head. Although he was a genius on the path of cultivation, he indeed did not know much about Genesis techniques.
"It doesn't matter. I don't know much about Genesis techniques either." Cheng Hao chuckled. "How about this? Let's bet on Ye Fan and that young man called Tuoba. How about we bet on who will win in the end?"
"Ah? Not stones, but people? "Jiang Taixu was taken aback. He was immediately interested." What's the wager? "
"Well … haven't you always wanted to live forever?" Cheng Hao transmitted with a faint smile. When he sensed that Jiang Taixu's breathing had become a little heavier, he continued, "If you win, I guarantee that you will live forever."
"Really?" Jiang Taixu found it hard to believe. The thing that he had tried so hard to obtain in the past had become a wager in the stone gambling house.
"Of course!"
"Then … what if I lose?"
"Lend me your Jiang family's Eternal Universe Scripture, of course!"
Jiang Taixu was a little conflicted. Although he was the Jiang family's Divine King, the Eternal Universe Scripture belonged to the entire Jiang family. He had no right to casually divulge it.
But in the end, he could not resist the temptation of living forever. In the end, he nodded and agreed to Cheng Hao's wager. He decided to take a gamble.
If he won, he would obtain the method to live forever. With a long lifespan, he might even become a Great Emperor in the future. But if he lost, since senior Haotian had already set his eyes on the Emperor scripture, even if he did not lose, he would still have to lend the Eternal Universe Scripture to him sooner or later!
Since that was the case, why not take a gamble?
Cheng Hao chuckled. For him, this wager was a sure win.
If he won, he could comprehend another Great Emperor Scripture. Even if he lost, he could take Jiang Taixu to a world where he could achieve immortality. Anyway, the bet only said that Jiang Taixu could achieve immortality, but it didn't say which world he would be in.
"Senior, who do you bet on?" Asked Jiang Taixu. He was more optimistic about Ye Fan. After all, someone who could call senior Haotian brother was definitely special.
"Of course I bet on Ye Fan!" Cheng Hao chuckled, not showing any signs of modesty.
Jiang Taixu was a little speechless. He felt that he was too thin-skinned. He should not have asked and directly chose Ye Fan. Given senior Haotian's status, he should not have lowered his face to force him to switch.
"Don't look so dejected. Ye Fan has the inheritance of a Genesis Heaven Master, but that Tuoba guy is also a genius from a Genesis clan. The difference between the two isn't that great. It's hard to say who will win!"
Jiang Taixu nodded, but he did not agree. You put it nicely. Since the difference between the two isn't that great, why don't you choose Tuoba … what was it again?
After Cheng Hao and Jiang Taixu placed their bets, Ye Fan and the golden-robed young man moved at the same time. They moved swiftly between the most ordinary stones. Otherwise, if there were any strange stones, they would definitely be chosen by the other party first.
The two of them proceeded forward, each using their own methods. In the end, Ye Fan fished out a round rock the size of a human head from the lake, whereas the golden-robed youth chose a rock that was riddled with holes. It looked like a rotten piece of wood that had been gnawed on by insects. It did not look good at all.
