"Hahahaha!"
Hearty laughter resounded through the heaven and earth . Exercising various divine abilities and magical powers, many Heaven Immortals were traveling to Puluo Heavenly Realm with their disciples, filling the void with streams of bright light, clouds, flood dragons, Luan, white deers, white cranes, and many other peculiar transportation methods . The sky was decorated with numerous strange, blinking lights . The atmosphere was filled with breezes that wafted waves of fragrance in every direction . Some Immortals who liked to show off even brought entire palaces, pavilions, or small hills with their immortal energy, rushing all the way towards Puluo Heavenly Realm .
Today was the day that the match between two immortal sects, Yuan Hua Sect and Huiling Sect, would be held . Those Heaven Immortals who heard the news, including those from Puluo Heavenly Realm and several tens of nearby heavenly realms, had set out with their disciples, rushing to Puluo Heavenly Realm so they could witness the grand event .
The disciples from both sects would fight in a match, deciding the ownership of a planet rich in energy stones that had never been harvested . It was an event that could almost determine the next ten thousand years of development of an immortal sect .
And immediately following that would be the one on one match between the Ancestral Masters of two sects, which would then decide the ownership of their bases . It was a match that would directly influence the survival of an immortal sect . Even if one of the sects did win the planet, if they lost their own base, the foundation of their very existence, that sect would soon fall into decay .
It had been over several tens of Periods since a direct collision between two great immortal sects had ever happened . Thus, it sparked curiosity among the Immortals, turning everyone's hearts boiling with excitement, and driving them all the way to Puluo Heavenly Realm, so that they could witness the event personally . It was especially true for the rest of the immortal sects in Puluo Heavenly Realm, as they paid the utmost attention to the result of the match . Despite the final result, the overall strength of both immortal sects would definitely be greatly affected . Perhaps, it would be the rare chance for some of the smaller immortal sects to rise in power .
With all sorts of thoughts and objectives harbored in their minds, over one thousand and three hundred Heaven Immortals from Puluo Heavenly Realm and nearby heavenly realms rushed over to be the onlookers . And surprisingly, a few Immortal Monarchs from nearby heavenly realms were here with their immortal officials as well, all looking very excited and full of interest .
Waves of fragrance and colorful clouds filled the sky above Liu Sa Immortal Abode where Immortal Chuan dwelt . Many Heaven Immortals gathered in small groups on clouds, offering warm greetings to their friends who had just arrived . Immortals spent years in cultivating, and usually, a few thousand years would pass in a blink of an eye with just one secluded meditation . Thus, many of them had not seen each other for several tens of thousands of years . Now that they finally met, it was natural they were offering each other warm greetings with a joyful mood .
Over one thousand and three hundred Heaven Immortals brought several tens of thousands of their disciples here . They came on all sorts of bizarre steeds; some of them had furs that glinted dazzlingly, some with horns that shone brightly, while some had waves of water, fire, wind, or clouds carrying them . The sky was smeared with countless strange and colorful gleams emanating from them, giving the place an immortal touch, and making it look completely different from the mortal world . Every now and then, there would be some immortals arriving on clouds, and it would always attract many voices of exclamation, whispers, and laughter .
All of a sudden, a radiance of bright, clean light sprinkled down from above, as a large cloud carried over one hundred cultivators, quickly descending from a high altitude . Immortal Chuan raised his head and gave it a glance, then clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Nice, our fellow Immortals from Huiling Sect are here! Now, we just need to wait for the people of Yuan Hua Sect!"
Reverend Huilin, who was severely wounded and looked no better than one year ago, brought the group of over one hundred disciples and came before all the Immortals . He was clad in a bright red Daoist robe, and a Daoist crown with a flame flickering on his head . Upon arriving, he darted his eyes here and there, cupping fists as he said, "Thank you for coming all the way here, my fellow Immortals . After Huiling Sect wins the match today, I shall hold a banquet for everyone in celebration of the victory!"
Everyone nodded with a smile on their faces . Apart from some Heaven Immortals who were friendly with Huiling Sect, the rest of them did not take his words seriously . How was he so sure that he would win the match? In fact, during the course of one thousand years of fighting against each other for the planet, while Yuan Hua Sect lost a group of Nascent Soul and Nascent Divinity disciples, Huiling Sect lost an elder of Thirty-Fifth Tier Heaven Immortal realm . It made Huiling Sect suffer a greater loss compared to the Yuan Hua Sect . So, how could he be so confident that he would win the match today?
As all Immortals could live almost forever, it was natural that their lives were dull and boring most of the time . Standing right next to Immortal Chuan was Reverend Miao Miao, the Immortal Monarch of Hua Luo Heavenly Realms, which was adjoined to Puluo Heavenly Realm . He fished out a large bowl from under his sleeve and shouted, "My fellow Immortals, listen to me! As we are witnessing a grand event today, isn't it just boring if we don't have a game of sorts? Now, place your bet here, you can bet on the match between the disciples of two sects, as well as the match between both the Ancestral Masters . Come, come and place your bet! The lowest best will be one immortal stone! Hahaha!"
Reverend Huilin's face took on a ghastly expression . 'While my disciples and I are fighting the match with our lives here, you, Reverend Miao Miao, are using this as a game?'
Gnashing his teeth, he figured out that with Huiling Sect's current overall strength, there was absolutely no way he could fight against the power of Heaven in Hua Luo Heavenly Realm represented by Reverend Miao Miao . Furthermore, he himself was far from matching up to Reverend Miao Miao's overall strength, who was a Twenty-Sixth Tier Heaven Immortal . Therefore, although his chest was filled with pent-up anger, he could only force a smile on his face, nodding and gesturing to the surrounding Immortals .
Among all the Heaven Immortals present, at least ninety percent of them were extremely bored . So, upon hearing that Reverend Miao Miao was hosting a game, they smiled, each took out a jade slip, and threw into the bowl, which recorded the side they bet and the amount of their wager . With Reverend Miao Miao, the immortal official of the Heaven hosting the game, they did not worry that they might not be able to receive their profits later on .
When it came to a gamble between Immortals, the wager they used would always be the rare and precious immortal stones . Among those who placed their bets, quite a few of them were having a decent wealth, and each of them had placed a heavy wager of over ten immortal stones . It was especially so for a few Heaven Immortals who came from Hua Luo Heavenly Realms, as they wished to curry favor with Reverend Miao Miao, their bets were extra heavy . Some of them even bet thirty pieces of lower-grade immortal stones!
The overwhelming response made Reverend Miao Miao grin from ear to ear, revealing his two rows of shining, white teeth . Quietly, he gave Immortal Chuan a meaningful wink, and they immediately reached a mutual agreement - as Reverend Miao Miao was hosting the game, he would take a cut from the total wager, while Immortal Chuan would receive fifty percent of the total profit as the landlord .
