Chapter 1162: A Gamble
Translator: 549690339
“He’s here…” Tong Yemu raised his head and looked at the changing stars on the dome of the palace. His voice was sharp and excited. It immediately woke up those people who were sitting cross-legged and resting with their eyes closed. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the changes on the dome of the palace.
It was now noon, 39 days after Xia Ping ‘an had entered the hall. This noon was also the time when the Yang energy in the world was the most abundant.
Xia Ping ‘an had long noticed the abnormality of the stars on the dome of the hall. As early as two hours ago, he had felt that the Earth Fiend Yin Qi in the hall was fluctuating abnormally. The stars on the dome of the hall began to gather more and more heavenly energy as they flowed. This change had indeed come.
The gem-like stars on the dome of the palace started to shine. Only after a short while, the entire palace had been bathed in the brilliant brilliance of those stars. Terrifying heaven and earth aura and energy poured down from the sky like a waterfall. It was like a fairyland. Not only that, the positions of those stars were also slowly changing like a mysterious Rubik’s cube in the sky.
Slowly, the light of the stars gradually divided into two colors. One color was a bright and holy white light, and the other was a deep and heavy black light. The stars of the same color began to merge and gather, causing Xia Pingan’s heart to tremble slightly. He saw that the stars that had begun to merge in the sky gradually began to evolve according to the mathematics of the River Map. Twenty-seven, the same way in the south, by the earth two fire, the sky seven; Three and eight live together in the east, with three trees growing in the sky, and eight trees growing in the earth; Four and nine are friends, living in the west, according to the earth four produce gold, heaven nine into gold; Five and ten are in the middle of the same road, and the earth is formed by the five elements of the sky, and the earth is formed by the ten elements.
As the starry sky of the River Map was completed, the black and white lights emitted by the stars interweaved in the hall, forming a huge Taiji Diagram. It began to rotate slowly. The light curtains on the altar and the surrounding walls began to absorb the black and white lights, gradually changing.
As a result, the originally peaceful atmosphere in the hall gradually became tense. It was no longer as relaxed and harmonious as it was a few days ago. There was only one treasure chest on the altar, and there were so many people in the hall. There were many wolves but few meat. At most, there would only be one person who succeeded, or… Not a single one.
Other than him, everyone in the hall was his competitor for the treasure. In fact, they were… Enemies!
Some people stared at the treasure chest on the top of the altar with greedy eyes. Some people’s breathing gradually became heavy. Some people began to stare at the people beside them vigilantly. Secret divine power fluctuations began to appear on some people. Some people were ready to attack.
After sensing the atmosphere, it was as if the first domino had been pushed. Everyone in the hall had no choice but to prepare to make a move. Even Xia Pingan had no choice but to raise his spirits and prepare to deal with it. Some people even took out their natal divine weapons.
In less than a few minutes, the atmosphere in the entire hall was like a gunpowder barrel. As long as there was a spark, it would explode.
“If we fight later, stay by my side and do not leave within twenty steps of me…” Xia Ping ‘an narrowed his eyes and scanned the faces in the hall. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Mi Luo. If they really fought, it would be a dangerous battle. He would never give up on that treasure, and there was no reason for him to.
Mi Luo’s gentle voice sounded in his ear, There was an inexplicable gentleness in her voice, which made Xia Pingan’s heart flutter slightly. Mi Luo also took out her Phoenix Guqin and took two steps closer to Xia Pingan.
“Even if you beat each other’s bone marrow out, it’s useless. If you can get the treasure chest by force alone, why would you have a chance?”The old man who was trapped in the light curtain sneered when he saw that the atmosphere in the hall was about to turn into a battlefield.” If you want to get the treasure box on the altar, you must first enter the light curtain of the altar. If you want to break in, you will be trapped in the altar like me. If you want to enter the altar, you must first crack the mysteries hidden in the various patterns on the walls around the hall. Later, handprints will appear on the walls.” All you need to do is place your hands on the wall and communicate the results of your deciphering with the wall. The correct person will be able to stay and enter the altar’s light screen, and the wrong person will be teleported out of the Flood Dragon God Cave!”
Hearing the old man’s words, everyone’s eyes moved.
Senior, if there’s someone, if there “The masked Godly Venerable Rank expert suddenly asked.
“Do you think that this is your own secret mandala? You can come and go as you please, and you can choose not to communicate as you please. Do you want to wait for the next time? Let me tell you, you only have one chance to communicate. If you don’t communicate, it’s equivalent to giving up. You will also be teleported out of this hall, and you will never be able to enter this place again in the future.”The old man on the screen replied.
Such an answer made many people’s hearts skip a beat, and their faces turned ugly. Some people had indeed thought that they could slowly study the mysteries on the walls here. After they had solved the mysteries, it wouldn’t be too late to communicate with the walls again even if it was eight to ten years later. After all, the changes here were periodic, and they could make further plans.
Qu Linggui’s eyes flashed strangely when he heard this. He glanced at Xia Ping ‘an and Mi Luo, and then suddenly said,” Senior is right. It’s meaningless for us to fight now. However, there are still too many people here. There’s only one treasure chest in front of us. It’s good to have fewer competitors. I suggest that those below the ninth level of Godly Venerable Rank should not join in the fun. They can only stand aside and watch later. They are forbidden to communicate with the wall.” If anyone dares to break this rule, everyone will kill them together. What do you think of this suggestion?”
Among the twenty people present, there were only four people below the Ninth Level Godly Venerable Rank. Besides Xia Ping ‘an and Mi Luo, there was also an Eighth Level Godly Venerable Rank on the Investiture of the Gods. That Godly Venerable Rank was a man with a rough appearance called Lin Fu. The other person with only the aura of a Eighth Level Godly Venerable Rank was a stranger with a stiff face. It was obvious that he had come here in disguise.
As soon as Qu Linggui made this suggestion, the expressions of many people present changed slightly. It was naturally good to have fewer competitors. Moreover, there were only four Rank-9 and below Godly Venerable Rank experts here. If everyone could agree, they might be able to suppress these Rank-8 Godly Venerable Rank experts and make them obediently withdraw from the competition…
“Old Ghost Qu, you’re too cunning. He came in with his own abilities, so why can’t you let him pass? You want to sow discord at this time and use everyone to deal with a few juniors who are a threat to you? You don’t want face, but I want face. I won’t agree!”Tong Yemu was the first to object. He looked around and said loudly,” Everyone, don’t be fooled by Old Ghost Qu. You’ve made enemies for yourself, and you won’t get anything. A Rank Eight God Venerable who can enter here will definitely have a future that is not inferior to yours. Think about it!”
Hearing Tong Yemu’s words, many people’s eyes flickered. It was good to have fewer competitors, but if they were to become enemies with a few Rank Eight Hierarch Gods with boundless prospects, and they didn’t get anything in the end, that wouldn’t be good. It was not a good idea to kill them together. Whoever killed them in the end would have to bear the consequences. Those who had reached this realm had some background, such as family, sect, sect, brothers and friends. If they killed them themselves, it would be bad if they got into trouble. Moreover, they could not guarantee that they would get the treasure chest. It was really not a good deal.
For a moment, the hall fell into a strange silence. Everyone looked at each other. They were all old foxes, the wisest of the wisest. Their eyes flashed, and no one spoke to support or oppose Qu Linggui.
Qu Linggui panicked when he saw that everyone was silent. He immediately said,” There’s no need for everyone to look at each other. If everyone agrees, we just need to stop these people from coming into contact with the wall. We’ll share the risks and benefits. How about it?”
At this moment, Xia Pingan suddenly laughed.” Qu Linggui, don’t instigate others to pull chestnuts out of the fire for you. If you have the guts, the two of us can make a bet here!”
Qu Linggui’s eyes flashed as he looked at Xia Ping ‘an.” How do you want to bet?”
“Didn’t you think that we Rank Eight Hierarch Gods aren’t strong enough? Then I’ll bet with you. We’ll exchange a punch here, and as long as you can survive my punch, I’ll leave this hall and not participate in the fight!”Xia Pingan said calmly.
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this. They looked at Xia Pingan as if he was a fool. Only Mi Luo looked at Xia Pingan deeply but didn’t say anything.
“Brat, don’t be tricked by Old Qu! “Tong Yemu said anxiously.
Qu Linggui’s eyes flashed. He was afraid that there was a trap, so he asked cautiously,” You’re saying that if you exchange a punch with me, you’ll allow me to use my full strength without lowering my cultivation, and you won’t ask anyone else for help. We’ll exchange a punch openly, and if I’m fine, you’ll take the initiative to withdraw?”
“Not bad!”
