The names of the hundred celestial immortals in the finals were announced! The competition was set for seven days later!
Soon, people started betting in the various Ruins of Immortality.
The Black Emperor Palace had nine states. Apart from the Middle State, where cultivators of Zu Xian and above lived, the other states had sixty to seventy thousand celestial immortals. With so many people idle, they naturally went to the Ruins of Immortality. Because of this, every Ruins of Immortality was very lively. In the Ruins of Immortality, people started betting on the hundred celestial immortals in the finals. They analyzed each of them, determined the odds, and accepted bets from the immortals.
These people not only bet on who would win first place in the competition, but also who would be accepted as an in-name disciple by the Great Emperor.
The stronger one was, the more people thought highly of him, and the lower the odds. Many people placed a large number of immortal stones on Xu Zhiling, Kuo Zhong, Zhu Cheng, Jiang Han, Han Ze, Hu Min, Ceng Zhi, and the others. These people were either ranked at the top of the Black Thearch Stele, had Golden Immortals or Immortal Kings backing them up, or they had made a name for themselves and left behind impressive achievements.
"I bet 100,000 celestial stones on Xu Zhiling! He's ranked first on the Black Emperor Stele! He's invincible in the world! "
"That's easy. Xu Zhiling's odds are 1: 3!"
"I bet on Kuo Zhong! 100,000 celestial stones! I've gone on missions with him before, so I know his true strength! He's even stronger than what he showed on the Black Emperor Stele! "
"That's easy. Kuo Zhong's odds are 1: 4!"
"I bet on Zhu Cheng! Not only is he a descendant of Jin Xian, but he's also ranked high on the Black Emperor Stele! "
"Zhu Cheng's odds are also 1: 4! I heard that he learned a new set of techniques and used it a few times. It's very shocking. "
"I bet on Jiang Han. He has Sengoku as his backing, and his killing methods are very fierce!"
"I bet on Han Ze. He once killed Zu Xian alone …"
Everyone started to place their bets. Even though each of them might have only bet a few thousand or tens of thousands of immortal stones, it was still a shocking sum when added up.
Qin Di was ranked within the top 3000 of the Black Emperor Stele, but he was ranked thirteenth among the Heaven Immortals. Logically speaking, the odds should be around 1: 10. However, due to his poor performance in the semi-finals, he had stumbled his way through, and it was not easy for him to enter the finals. Therefore, even the banker did not think highly of him, setting the odds at 1: 18!
In reality, there weren't many people who bet on him. There were only a few friends who supported him. These people just wanted to have fun, so each of them bet a few hundred immortal stones.
On the day before the grand competition began, a female cultivator wearing the uniform of a servant disciple went to the eight Immortal Ruins and bet three million immortal stones that Qin Shui would be chosen by the Grand Emperor.
Three million immortal stones was a huge sum of money, enough to buy a decent immortal artifact. Thus, it drew everyone's discussion.
"Strange, why would someone bet so heavily on Qin Shui? Could it be that he has something we don't know about? "
"Hehe, it's a female cultivator who placed the bet, right? Qin Shui looks young, handsome, elegant, and suave. It's not strange that a female cultivator would be so foolish as to place a large bet! "
Soon, the news spread that this female cultivator had placed a total of 24 million immortal stones in the eight Immortal Ruins, betting that Qin Shui would be taken in by the Grand Emperor!
"Wow, what's the female cultivator's name? Why does she have so many immortal stones? I've been saving for a hundred years, but I only have 300,000 immortal stones! "
"I heard that she's just a servant disciple. She must be running errands for her master! The bets are anonymous, and the final settlement is based on the chips. The banker who opened the bets must have thought of giving each person a jade slip with the spiritual sense mark of the contract signed by both parties. Even if they wanted to fake it, it would be impossible. "
"I wonder which fairy the master of this servant disciple is. She's actually crazy for love, willing to bet so many immortal stones!"
"Sigh, it's like drawing water with a sieve. When the results are out, she should wake up."
"Hey, do you think Qin Shui has any hope of being chosen by the Grand Emperor?"
"Impossible! With his strength, there's no way he can enter the top ten. And the Grand Emperor only chooses in-name disciples from the top four, so Qin Shui definitely has no hope. So many immortal stones, consider it a gift to the banker! "
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the day of the finals. More people came to watch the battles!
Five hundred thousand sky immortals came out in full force, surrounding the arena.
There were only nine arenas left in the plaza, the rest had been removed.
In the pavilion outside the Sengoku Pavilion, five Jin Xian and two Sengoku sat.
These two Sengoku were the Black Emperor Palace's sect master, Qiong Chan, and the Grand Elder, Old Tong.
Qiong Chan was twelve feet tall, with a leopard head and round eyes, and a full beard, looking very powerful.
Old Tong wasn't tall, with a hunched back, and a head full of white hair, he looked like a small old man.
Ordinary people would only think that the two were too different in appearance to be related by blood. However, those who knew the inside story knew that Qiong Chan and Old Tong were both the Black Emperor's sons. As for whether they were born from the same mother, that was unclear.
At this time, the Zhenwu Emperor still hadn't shown up.
With Qiong Chan's order, the finals officially began!
First, the one hundred sky immortals in the finals were divided into ten groups, and the top three in each group would be chosen. Then, the sect master, Qiong Chan, called for two peak sky immortal true disciples to enter the arena, making up thirty-two disciples. Then, they would draw lots for elimination.
Qin Di was placed in the sixth group. He was lucky that there were no particularly powerful figures among the ten.
Even so, he knew that no one in the finals was weak! Therefore, he secretly took out four kinds of fifth-stage immortal water, transformed them into the four immortal swords, and hid them in his sleeve.
The immortal sword formation was one of the sword formations he was most familiar with, so it was very easy to use.
In the first round, when he suddenly released the immortal sword formation, the audience below the arena was in an uproar!
"Damn, this guy hid his strength!"
"I didn't expect him to have four kinds of immortal water! And each of them is fifth-stage immortal grade! "
"Damn it! Where did he get the immortal water from? Fifth-stage immortal water is very valuable here, and each drop can be sold for 100,000 immortal stones. Each of his four immortal swords is five feet long. How many drops of immortal water did he use? "
"Hmph, evil! He's going further and further! Since he has the time to refine the immortal water, why doesn't he use it on our sect's heirloom mantra, the Weak Water? "
"Look, his moves are even more flashy! What sword formation is this? It looks very sharp. His opponent isn't weak, but he's being beaten until he's forced to retreat, fleeing all over the stage … "
"It should be the Four Emblems Sword Formation. Old Zhang, you've also practiced the Four Emblems Sword Formation. What do you think about the power of Qin Shui's sword formation? "
Suddenly, there was a scream. "No, no, this is not the Four Emblems Sword Formation! It's more like the legendary immortal sword formation! "
"What? The immortal sword formation? Does our sect have the legacy of this sword formation? "
"Yes, we do. There are many related jade scrolls in the library, but they are fragmented and not easy to practice."
"Could it be that Qin Shui has practiced other sect's techniques?"
"The immortal sword formation is the Tongtian sect leader's best technique. The Tongtian sect leader is from the prehistoric era, and has been missing for a long time. No one knows where he went. Some people guessed that he went to the Miracle Wasteland with Grandmaster Hong Jun, even earlier than the Five Emperors … "
"Then where did Qin Shui's sword formation come from?"
"I don't know either. There are many similar sword manuals outside, and you can buy a set with tens of immortal stones. If you want, I can collect a hundred jade scrolls …"
"What do I want that for? Quickly look, he just said a few words and Qin Shui already won! "
In the pavilion in front of the Sengoku Pavilion, the few Jin Xian's just watched quietly. They were paying attention to their descendants.
Qiong Chan looked at Qin Di. When he won easily, he couldn't help but praise, "This kid is interesting. Not only did he master the natural movement technique, but his sword formation also contains the charm of cutting clouds and water, destroying mountains and water, and ending mountains and rivers."
Old Tong nodded in agreement. "Yes, this is very rare among the younger disciples. Brother, is this kid your secret disciple? "
"No, it's also my first time seeing him."
"Then why does he know the Cloud Water Dao's mental cultivation method? This is a restricted cultivation method. Only the outstanding Zu Xian can inherit one or two forms of it. He is only a Heaven Immortal, but he can master four forms. It's a miracle! "
"I'm afraid it's more than four forms. A few days ago, Jin Xian Guo Guang complained to me that one of his descendants lost in the semi-final and met a strange guy who is good at using the natural movement technique, Life-and-Death Talisman, and Fragrant Fragrance Tower. He also knows a divine sense attack technique … Let's wait and see. If this kid really masters the seven forms of the Cloud Water Dao, it will be even more interesting."
