King of Creation-Chapter 1638 - 1623: Nine Realms Divine Eyes Spirit Formation
"The old servant greets Third Master!" Yuann Hongying, sitting cross-legged on Heavenly Snake Reef, remained motionless, but Eunuch Fuq and Grandma Mao, guarding him on both sides, stepped forward simultaneously to greet with great ceremony.
However, from the difference in their gestures, it was clear that Eunuch Fuq and Grandma Mao held different statuses.
Although both called themselves old servants in front of the silver-clad youth, Eunuch Fuq merely bowed with clasped hands, while Grandma Mao performed a kneeling ceremony.
The silver-clad youth didn’t spare Eunuch Fuq and Grandma Mao a glance, allow them to stand and kneel there, while he tilted his head with a playful gaze to scrutinize the seated Yuann Hongying.
"I say, Old Fifth, as your elder brother, I came personally to support you. Are you not even going to acknowledge me or stand up to welcome me?" said Yuann Yinying.
Yuann Hongying, who had kept his eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them with a cold laugh, "Third Brother, are you joking? Would you really come here to support me? Unless the sun rises from the west!"
"Old Fifth, look at what you said. I, your brother, traversed across multiple realms, spending several days just to get here.
I came all this way to support you, what else could I be doing?"
Ding!
With a crisp sound, a storage ring flew out from Yinying’s fingers, "Is there anyone willing to take bets? I wager on my fifth brother Yuann Hongying to win. Is anyone brave enough to take the bet?"
At this moment, the crowd from all directions, especially those hosting bets, instantly erupted in agitation. Many eyes were glued to the storage ring that flew from Yinying’s hand, speculating about the wealth contained within.
"Old Fifth, see how righteous I am? I came to you not asking about victory, odds, or the strength of your opponent, I placed heavy bets on you, yet you say I don’t support you?" Yuann Yinying laughed.
However, no matter how you looked at it, Yinying’s smile carried a tone of coldness and mockery.
With these words, the corners of Hongying’s mouth twitched, showing a look of sheer disbelief.
His third brother would come to support him?
How is that possible!
It would be a blessing if he didn’t come to undermine him.
In a peculiar moment, the storage ring tossed out by Yinying seemed to hover in mid-air, as if held by an unseen hand, forming an incredibly eerie scene alongside Eunuch Fuq standing bent, and Grandma Mao kneeling.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper leisurely flew into the sky, smiling at Yinying, "Third Master Yuann, this humble one, though lacking, is willing to accept your wager.
Currently, the odds for Third Master Yuann are one to three. If your wager is quite large, the odds might be slightly lowered."
"You want to accept it?"
Yinying didn’t even raise his head, "But if my third brother wins, can you afford to pay?"
"Definitely, this humble one has deposited a million High Grade Spirit Stones as a guarantee at the Five Immortals Hall," the shopkeeper responded.
"A million High Grade Spirit Stones as a guarantee? That’s quite substantial." Yinying suddenly raised his head, pointing at his storage ring, "But do you know how much wealth my storage ring holds, Third Master?"
"This..." The shopkeeper appeared a bit troubled, unable to guess. If he underestimated, he feared the partner would be unhappy, so he tried to estimate more generously.
"Well, Third Master Yuann, I assure you that if the wager is within ten million High Grade Spirit Stones, we can afford to pay."
"Ten million? The storage ring of mine contains ten million Mid-grade Attribute Spirit Stones alone, not to mention what’s inside: High Grade Attribute Spirit Stones, Mid-grade Spirit Stones, High Grade Spirit Stones, Supreme Spirit Stones."
"Get lost!"
Yinying roared like a thunderclap, causing the shopkeeper to fall from the sky in fright, fortunately landing in the sea below without harm.
"Fifty million! The storage ring of Third Master contains wealth valued at fifty million High Grade Spirit Stones. Feel free if you have the ability to eat that, if you can afford to pay."
Upon hearing this, those eager merchants immediately retreated.
A bet of fifty million, this isn’t one taken lightly.
Moreover, judging by these brothers’ intentions, is Yuann Hongying bound to win?
Otherwise, why place such heavy bets?
Finishing his words, Yinying laughed again, "Now, Old Fifth, am I righteous enough? I’ve placed the next ten years’ profits of my land entirely on you. Is this not supportive enough?"
Yuann Hongying rolled his eyes again, "You think this battle is a sure win, and you’re here to scoop up silver to spend?"
"Wrong!"
Yinying snapped his fingers, "Mainly concerned that your clansmen and friends want to witness your extraordinarily spectacular battle but have no time to come over.
So, incidentally, I took time to help them see your splendor!"
"Making some pocket money along the way is secondary!"
The spectators gasped for air, placing fifty million High Grade Spirit Stones just to make pocket money.
Comparison between people is truly...
"Then watch closely! Eunuch Fuq, Grandma Mao, return." Only when Yuann Hongying commanded did the bent Eunuch Fuq and kneeling Grandma Mao retreat.
Yuann Yinying chuckled, and with a flash in his palm, eighteen Jade Talismans radiating mysterious brilliance flew into the sky. Circling several times, the eighteen Jade Talismans suddenly converged, hanging in the air like an Array Plate.
With a careless wave, eighteen hundred Supreme Spirit Stones from Yuann Hongying’s hand streamed into the Jade Talisman Array Plate.
In an instant, the Jade Talisman Array Plate emitted dazzling brilliance, which from afar appeared like an eye hanging in the sky.
"What are you doing?" Yuann Hongying frowned.
"This is a new little formation toy from the family, called Nine Realms Divine Eyes Spirit Formation. Once activated, it allows nine people in different worlds to see everything within a thousand miles around the formation.
They all want to witness your glorious victory over that Fourth Stage Martial Artist today, so I was asked to bring this formation."
Yuann Yinying spoke with a sarcastic tone while clicking his tongue in admiration, "This toy is useful, but it consumes too many Spirit Stones, eighteen hundred Supreme Spirit Stones for just two hours.
If I don’t make a profit today, it’s a real loss."
Upon hearing this, Yuann Hongying’s cheekbones twitched, clenching his teeth.
How could he not know that the people in the family, including his Fifth Brother Yuann Yinying, were all hoping to see him fail?
Originally, he had challenged Ten Arena Champion Di Kuohai at Five Immortals Arena. But when it reached the family, it became a challenge to Fourth Stage Martial Artist Di Kuohai.
Even though he might win today, those in the family would still use this to mock him.
However, he believed that as long as he won, as long as he defeated Ten Arena Champion Di Kuohai, he would instantly become world-famous.
By then, all those ridicule from the family would be silenced.
The achievements in the Primordial Continent, the Main World, are undeniable by anyone.
"Young Master..." Eunuch Fuq, seeing Yuann Hongying’s ashen face, wanted to remind him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Yuann Hongying said, "I know, I know what to do. Keep watch diligently, I need to continue my meditation."
After speaking, Yuann Hongying closed his eyes, but Yuann Yinying immediately burst into anger.
"No one has accepted my bet for so long? They say the Primordial Continent is unbelievably wealthy, but after all this fuss, is there really no merchant who dares to take my bet?"
"Or is Five Immortals Island just a name?"
"This shouldn’t require me to split my bets into dozens of parts to complete the wager, should it?"
"It seems, Five Immortals Island is truly..."
Just as Yuann Yinying continued his wanton mockery, Mountain God Yi Xun’s figure suddenly appeared in the void.
"Young Master Yuann, I will accept your bet on behalf of Five Immortals Hall," Mountain God Yi Xun said.
Yuann Yinying’s mouth curled into a sarcastic smile, "Oh, finally someone dared to accept it? But you wouldn’t have pushed my Fifth Brother’s odds so low to dare accept my wager, would you?
Honestly, how low did you lower my Fifth Brother’s odds? Ten percent return, or five percent return?"
"Thirty percent return!"
"No matter how much Young Master Yuann bets nor how much the other four guests wager, your brother Yuann Hongying’s odds will remain thirty percent return today!" Mountain God Yi Xun declared conclusively.
The words ’thirty percent return’ provoked a huge reaction, rendering not only the other Deacons and Stewards of Heavenly Destiny Hall speechless, but also the Grand Deacon of Ming Mountain Hall, Cui Shi.
Everyone’s minds churned with one thought—Yi Xun, are you crazy? Thirty percent return?
To know, official odds from Five Immortals Hall are always lower than other stalls. Just days ago, Yuann Hongying’s odds were set at fifteen percent return.
Now, Yi Xun directly doubled it.
Moreover, Yi Xun accepted at least fifty million High Grade Spirit Stones in bets, and this substantial bet would prompt a large number of Martial Artists to follow suit.
Over three hundred thousand Martial Artists had gathered around Five Immortals Island.
Even if only one-third place bets and follow suit with a few thousand Spirit Stones each, that would amount to billions. If Yuann Hongying lost, the payout would likely exceed a billion High Grade Spirit Stones.
Losing billions in High Grade Spirit Stones would be a significant loss even for Five Immortals Hall, injuring it seriously.
At this thought, the Ming Mountain Hall Grand Deacon, Cui Shi, was about to stop Mountain God Yi Xun.
But just as he was about to speak, a sudden thought crossed Cui Shi’s mind, prompting him to silence.
Substantial loss is good, anyway it’s not Ming Mountain Hall’s loss; it’s caused by folks from Heavenly Destiny Hall.
By then, responsibility would fall on Heavenly Destiny Hall, having nothing to do with Ming Mountain Hall.
Additionally, then Ming Mountain Hall could seize control and suppress Heavenly Destiny Hall.
If they could seize a portion of financial control tightly held by Heavenly Destiny Hall, it would be a major gain.
In that instant, Cui Shi fervently hoped Yuann Hongying would win, and Di Kuohai would lose!
