Chapter 516: The Stone At The Peak
Lan Yunzhuâs cheeks reddened from anger as she glared at Li Qiye and said: âUncle, you look down on me too much! In the past, back at the sacred lake, I was accepted by three destiny stones at the same time, and all of them had eight accumulations! I am still very confident even if it is a nine accumulations destiny stone.â
Li Qiye laughed and said: âLike I said before, having more accumulations doesnât necessarily mean that itâs better. Although a few stones might not have eight or nine accumulations, they are still very arrogant. A few special stones would not accept anyone no matter how great their talents are.â
âHmph! How about we make a bet then?â Lan Yunzhu snappily gave him a stern look and continued: âNow, tell me where that stone is so I can take a look at just how amazing it is.â
âOf course.â Li Qiye smirked and said: âBut what do you want to bet? Donât cry when you lose!â
Lan Yunzhu suddenly withdrew her angry glare as a playful glimmer appeared in her round eyes. She was all smiles as she said: âUncle, how about we make it a big one? When we go up the mountain later, how about we bet on who will be accepted by more destiny stones? The person who is accepted by more stones will be the winner. What do you think, Uncle?â
Li Qiye looked at her and grinned as he replied: âDo you really want to bet?â He then thought of something very interesting and asked: âDo you think you will win?â
While puffing her cheeks, Lan Yunzhu smiled and said: âOf course. Donât tell me Uncle is too scared? Even a little girl like me dares to bet. If you lose, then just give me one drop of Myriad Star Water.â
Li Qiye chuckled in response and replied: âAh, so this little girl wants my Myriad Star Water. However, if you lose, what will you hand over to me?â
Lan Yunzhu arched out her plump breasts and said: âUncle, I can handle losing. Treasures, immortal items, pills⦠Just say the words. If I have it, then I absolutely wonât cheat you!â
Li Qiye rubbed his chin then stared at her from top to bottom and smirked in an obscene manner as he said: âTreasures do not appeal to me. How about this? If you lose, then will you undress tonight for my viewing pleasure.â
âUndress my ass, you perverted scoundrel!â The flushed Lan Yunzhu screamed then tried to kick Li Qiye.
Li Qiye couldnât keep himself from laughing. Then, he leisurely asked with a smirk: âSo do you dare or not?â
Lan Yunzhuâs angry and blushing maiden face, combined with her gentle eyes full of watery sparkles, were movingly beautiful.
However, before the two of them could decide, one person descended to the Divine Dragon Mountain from the sky.
New arrivals and cultivators that were already here all became shocked when they saw this person: âThe Simple Mountain Immortal Kingdomâs descendant!â
âXian Fan!â Lan Yunzhu also exclaimed.
It was Xian Fan who flew down from the sky. He was still shrouded by his Five Elements Immortal Armor so no one could see his face or figure. From beginning to end, no one knew whether the person inside was male or female. The only thing that they could tell was that it was indeed a human named Xian Fan, the descendant of the Immortal Kingdom.
Even the most arrogant ghosts couldnât help but become anxious when they saw his arrival: âAn existence that can fight against Sir Di Zuoâ¦â Both geniuses and older characters didnât dare to view him with disdain.
A person gazed at the immortal armor and stated with fear: âIt is a shame that the grave opened so early; Di Zuo and Xian Fan couldnât decide the victor since both of them had to run here.â
In the past, the younger generation didnât dare to challenge the prestige of the three heroes. Later on, Li Qiye swept through the ghost race and massacred thousands to announce his presence in the Sacred Nether World. People then knew that a ferocious monster had come from the human race, one that could challenge the authority of the ghosts.
Now, there was also Xian Fan, someone who had been completely unknown. Xian Fan was different from Li Qiye; others speculated that Li Qiye could challenge Di Zuo, but Xian Fan actually fought against Di Zuo. It was an extremely flashy battle and the victor couldnât be decided before both of them quickly headed for the Prime Ominous Grave.
âOur human raceâs saint duo is no weaker than the ghost raceâs three heroes. Haha, we will not be weaker than the ghosts this generation. The future Immortal Emperor has yet to be decided!â An excited human cultivator exclaimed while looking at Xian Fan: âThe ghosts have the three heroes while we have our saint duo!â
Recently, busybodies had nicknamed Li Qiye and Xian Fan as the human raceâs saint duo!
This title sounded very unpleasant to the ghosts, but the ghosts had been keeping quiet recently.
Among the ghosts, Di Zuoâs prestige reached far and wide and never allowed for others to provoke him. Both the older and younger generations of the ghosts greatly valued Di Zuo. Who would have thought that Xian Fan could fight evenly with Di Zuo? Although this fight abruptly ended, people had to accept that Xian Fan had the ability to oppose Di Zuo.
Before this, the ghost race, especially the young ones, looked down on humans. But now, there appeared Fierce Li Qiye and then the mysterious Xian Fan. The young ghosts could no longer maintain their arrogance.
âQuite formidable.â Lan Yunzhu looked at Xian Fanâs state and whispered: âEven Di Zuo wouldnât have any advantages against him.â
Lan Yunzhu didnât watch the battle between the two, but she could deduce the result of the fight after seeing Xian Fanâs current appearance.
âItâs nothing surprising.â Li Qiye looked at the armor and said: âObtaining this armor proved his extraordinary worth. This thing is very careful when it chooses its master because it is quite proud!â
This situation was completely within Li Qiyeâs expectations. There was no need to see Xian Fanâs cultivation level or which emperorâs law he cultivated. Just the armor adorned on Xian Fanâs body told Li Qiye many things. The armor was a symbol of power; if one was not strong enough, they wouldnât be able to own this armor.
Xian Fan reached the dragon mountain and immediately ran to the peak instead of stopping by the base. A cultivator murmured at this sight: âCould it be that he is also here for that stone?â
âPossibly.â The ghosts paused their business and gazed at Xian Fan.
Xian Fan arrived at the top in one breath.
âHe really is here for that stoneâ¦â An aware old cultivator murmured while looking at the mountain: âDoes he actually want to try it too?â
Another sect master added: âIt makes sense. Lunhui and Di Zuo came along with the imperial descendants. Those who are qualified all want to give it a shot.â
âWhat is at the top of the mountain?â Lan Yunzhu didnât know anything so she asked Li Qiye after seeing Xian Fan ascend to the top.
Li Qiye narrowed his eyes and looked at Xian Fan before replying: âA destiny stone. A unique stone of this world, a stone that no one has ever obtained since time immemorial.â
At this moment, all eyes were on the peak. A ghost cultivator asked: âTian Lunhui failed and the same goes for Sir Di Zuo. Will Xian Fan be able to do it?â
âI donât know, but it wonât be a surprise if he fails as well.â A tribe master from the northern Misty Field said: âAccording to the records of the Nether Crossing Swamp, after ascending the throne, Immortal Emperor Ming Du had also come here. Legend says that he wanted the stone to accept him as its master. Unfortunately, the emperor failed and that stone didnât leave with him.â
âWhat?! Even an Immortal Emperor couldnât get its acceptance? But he was an Immortal Emperor!â Many people were shocked after hearing this. It would be understandable if it was a young emperor before his ascendancy. In the end, no one knew who would actually become the next Immortal Emperor until they reached the end of the road.
But at that time, Immortal Emperor Ming Du was already an invincible emperor, an existence that roamed free in the nine heavens. However, that stone still didnât pick him, and this news came as a surprise to many people.
âWhat kind of stone is this? It didnât even accept an Immortal Emperor?â Lan Yunzhu was also shaken after hearing this.
There was nothing in this world that was stronger than an Immortal Emperor, yet this stone still didnât pick him. This was simply astonishing!
âIt is indeed a very proud stone.â Li Qiye murmured as he looked at the peak.
Whether one was a human or a ghost, all eyes were on Xian Fan. The ghosts didnât want Xian Fan to succeed at all because Di Zuo and Tian Lunhui, the two with the highest talents among the ghosts, both failed. If Xian Fan could do it, then it would harm the pride of the ghost race.
In fact, since people knew that there was a stone that didnât even accept an Immortal Emperor, many geniuses all came to test their luck to see if they could get chosen by this rock.
In the span of a few short days, countless people had come. Di Zuo, Tian Lunhui, the Titanic Crescent Saint Child, the Ghost Insect Evil Child, and other imperial descendants had all attempted to obtain this stone. Other prodigies and nameless juniors came as well.
However, no one was successful in gaining the stoneâs acceptance.
