Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 246

However, there was not much time left for Yan Chutian. When he came out of seclusion, there were only two days left before he entered the Ancient Ruins.

At the same time, this bustling city is becoming more and more popular because of this grand event.

Auction houses, even the black market, were getting open. Needless to say, every auction house was full of people. Even the black market, which was usually sparsely populated, was filled with people.

In this bustling city, several gambling businesses were born. Some people registered almost all of the geniuses who participated in the event and even introduced them. It can be said that they are very resourceful.

"Come, come, come! Don't miss this! Let's see which genius can get an abundant harvest from the Ancient Ruins and take the lead in the upcoming event! Everyone, come and place your bet for the number one genius in your heart!"

Under the enthusiastic promotion, many people were interested. They flipped through the booklets that introduced various geniuses and started placing their bets.

After much excitement, the young master and disciples from the five major regions took the lead. After all, in the past, these people had always been at the forefront of grand events. Even if they did not make a profit, they would not lose much money.

However, some people want to play it safe, while others put all their eggs in one basket and bet on second-rate geniuses. This was because if they were to bet on second-tier geniuses, their chances would be much higher than those geniuses from the five major regions.

In the past, there were examples like that. A late person would surpass the seniors and shock everyone. This time, there was an additional segment of the Ancient Ruins, which made the possibility of such a thing happening even greater.

If a second-rate genius could obtain great opportunities in the Ancient Ruins, he might actually be able to rise up against the heavens and suppress many famous geniuses!

However, even with such a ruse, there were still too few people who would bet on the disciples of the second-tier forces. Even if there were, they would bet on the disciples of the Divine Heaven Sect or the Great Heaven Palace.

When it came to Yan Chutian, there was almost no one.

There were only two days left, but in these two days, Yan Chutian still did not give up on finding the natural treasure Qiu Yu needed, or the Golden Lotus he needed. Unfortunately, he came back disappointed.

Just as he was about to give up on the search and return to the inn to make some preparations, he immediately saw a gambling house on the streets.

Curious, Yan Chutian walked over and looked around. He was not surprised to see Zhou Ling and the other Young Lords of the Five Major Regions on the top list. However, when he saw her name at the bottom of the list, he could not help feeling depressed.

No matter what, he was one of the ten geniuses in the Heaven Realm. But now, in this mortal world, he did not even rank. If this were to spread to the Heaven Realm, many people would laugh out loud.

However, it didn't matter since no one had bet on him. Yan Chutian happily took out all the remaining Spirit Crystals and placed them under his name.

Yan Chutian's chances were extremely high, so if he could enter the top ten or even the top fifty, he would not lose any money. The higher he went, the more Spirit Crystals he could obtain. Thinking of such a huge advantage, even Yan Chutian could not help but laugh.

This was because Spirit Crystals practically fell from the sky for free!

Only Yan Chutian was happy, but he had no idea that the few people beside him, including the banker, looked at him as if he was an idiot.

Yan Chutian did not hide his face, so they all knew that he had bet on himself. Although this kind of example was rare, it was understandable and could be considered an encouragement to himself.

However, no matter how happy he was, no matter how many Spirit Crystals he invested, it was equivalent to a drop of water. Could it be that he still hoped to rise up against heaven and win a total victory?

However, everyone knew that after all he was a genius of a second-rate army, so they did not want to offend him so easily. They silently laughed in their hearts and ignored him.

As for Yan Chutian, he had already walked away from the crowd and returned to the inn.

The last night before the Ancient Ruins arrived quickly. Tonight is destined to be chaotic in many places. For example, at the inn where Yan Chutian was staying, the three of them were all gathered by Zhu Yun and earnestly advised again and again.

Only when the night was late did Zhu Yun let the three of them rest and quietly wait for dawn the next day.

In the depths of the enormous and prosperous residence in the Central Plains City, there was an old man with a head full of white hair and vertical eyes in the middle of his eyebrows quietly sitting cross-legged on a rock.

Therefore, his identity was clear. He was one of the top figures in one of the five main regions.

"Huussss..."

In the depths of the residence that was almost sealed, there was suddenly the sound of wind whistling. Upon hearing this voice, the old man who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed seemed to know something. He hurriedly opened his old but not murky eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he immediately saw a black-clothed figure sitting quietly on the stone chair beside the stone table in the room.

When he saw the black-clothed figure suddenly appear, the first thing the white-haired old man who had always been in this high and temperamental position was to not reprimand. Instead, he hurriedly got up from the stone and knelt down in front of the black-clothed figure.

"Greetings, my Lord."

The old man kneeled for a long time before a cold laughter slowly came from the direction of the black-clothed figure. "Not bad. You're much wiser than before."

Hearing that, the white-haired old man could only stand up and smile awkwardly. It was not that he did not resist, but even his elder brother was severely injured and unconscious. What could he do?

Besides, he's been poisoned. Between his life and his dignity, he ended up choosing his life.

"How's everything I've told you?"

The black-clothed figure continued to ask. His indifferent voice did not carry any tone.

"My master, the basic arrangements have been done discreetly. However, if you want to solve everything, you can only wait for the attention of everyone interested in the ancient ruins."

"Yes." Yeah."

The black-clothed figure seemed to nod lightly. Then, the black figure gradually became an illusion. Only a faint laughter sounded softly in the room.

"Follow my will. In the future, you will naturally become the king of this insignificant mortal world. Otherwise, I think you should know what will happen to your older brother."

When the faint laughter completely disappeared, the white-haired old man was involuntarily filled with sweat. Then, he sat on the stone chair in panic.

When faced with a black-clothed figure, he really could not bring up any thoughts of resisting. He only found it extremely difficult for any Domain Master in the mortal world to become his opponent, let alone defeat him. Hence, he really had no thoughts of resisting.

Especially if he could become the king of the mortal world, this was really very interesting to him…!

The night came quickly and went quickly as well. When the first sunlight pierced through the darkness and descended to the earth, there were already impatient cultivators who hurriedly gathered above the valley on the eastern side of Zhongyuan City.

This is the place where the ancient ruins will be opened. Although they were not geniuses who would participate, it would be great if they could get a good place to see the ancient ruins.

Therefore, before the geniuses from the various factions arrived, a large number of spectators had gathered around this valley. As far as the eye could see, there were many people, forming wave after wave.

At the same time, Yan Chutian, Qiu Yu and Luo Xue had just stood still in the inn courtyard. Then, after Zhu Yun warned him again, he finally flew up and headed straight for the eastern side of Zhongyuan City.

A moment later, after seeing the countless spectators around the valley, although Yan Chutian was already used to such a majestic spectacle, his expression still fluctuated.

Although it was only a slight change, it was enough to make Qiu Yu beside him feel it. He couldn't help but ask gently, "What's wrong?"

Turning around to see the beautiful face of the young girl beside him, Yan Chutian smiled slightly and replied gently, "It's okay, I suddenly feel emotional. When I was discovered by that Ghost King, I never thought that I would do it." experiencing such a scene again, let alone seeing you again."

Yan Chutian's ability to spout words of love anytime and anywhere became even better. Even Qiu Yu could not bear it. Her pretty face reddened as she fiercely rolled her eyes towards Yan Chutian before straightening her face.
