Chapter 951: The God of Wealth

“Xingci, when can I step in?”

Xu Gang, maintaining his high-level state, finally couldn’t hold back and asked Li Xingci beside him.

Xu Fan chuckled.

“Senior Brother, just wait a bit longer. I think once the next contestant appears, the atmosphere will be just right.”

“Then, Senior Brother will charge onto the arena, overwhelming the competition,” Li Xingci said with a smile.

The ten arenas fell into a calm period, with all the true immortals watching eagerly for the next prodigy to step up.

At that moment, a cheeky voice rang out.

“Since no one wants to take a chance, I’ll do it.”

A Lightning Ball appeared above one of the arenas, transforming into a true immortal man.

The man wore a robe adorned with lightning dragons, with nine lightning dragons manifesting from the laws of thunder, coiling around the robe.

“Lightning Punishment Heavenly Sect, Tan Xiu. I just returned from the battlefield; let’s see if you old soldiers measure up,” the man declared.

The nine lightning dragons on the robe seemed alive, swirling and soaring, and one could faintly hear the resounding voice of thunder punishment echoing across the realms.

Upon hearing the words of the Lightning Punishment Heavenly Sect man, the selected guardian true immortal showed a vigilant expression.

The aura of this man reminded him of the alien prodigies they had once hunted together on the battlefield, costing numerous comrades each time, sometimes even total loss of their forces.

“It seems you sense something,” the man said, gently lifting one hand as a vivid little lightning dragon twirled around it, occasionally letting out an angry roar as if challenging its prey.

He raised the lightning dragon slightly, and in an instant, a true lightning dragon measuring one thousand feet appeared, perfectly matching the guardian true immortal’s Law Form Golden Body as it charged at him.

In that brief moment, thunder roared loudly on the arena.

The brilliance erupted from the lightning illuminated the eyes of all the true immortals below.

“With lightning punishment, I act as heaven’s enforcer. It’s a pity the human race isn’t the strongest in the Immortal Realm; it’s difficult to reach the peak on this path,” Xu Fan thought as he observed the man from the Lightning Punishment Heavenly Sect.

The flickering lightning light on the spatial arena extinguished, and the thunder fell, leaving only the guardian true immortal lying motionless on the ground.

The spatial arena gradually descended, eventually disappearing beneath the grounds of the dojo.

This indicated that this arena had been conquered, and the man from the Lightning Punishment Heavenly Sect vanished without a trace.

“There are still nine arenas; friends must strive hard!” echoed the voice in the sky.

A figure as swift as lightning landed on one of the arenas, causing Li Xingci, who wanted to reach out to stop him, to withdraw his hand.

“Unexpected events will always happen, as long as the results remain unaffected,” Xu Fan said.

Li Xingci nodded in agreement.

At this moment on the arena, Xu Gang looked at the guardian true immortal with intense battle intent.

“I’ve been watching you from below for a long time; you’ve finally come up!” the guardian true immortal said as he looked at Xu Gang.

Five celestial pearls representing the five elements rotated behind him, manifesting various Divine Beasts of the five elements along the path of the five elements.

“Hidden Spirit Sect, Xu Gang,” Xu Gang announced.

“Outer Wind Hall, Luo Tianxing.”

Instantly, both figures sprang into action.

A thousand-hand illusion materialized behind Xu Gang, setting up a defensive shield.

At that moment, the fire spirit celestial pearl behind the guardian true immortal transformed into a fire qilin, which descended heavily from the sky.

The intense aura immediately engulfed the entire arena in a fiery domain.

Subsequently, the earth and metal celestial pearls morphed into a colossal swallowing giant beast that charged towards Xu Gang.

“Isn’t this the same strategy Senior Brother used to favor?” Wang Xiangchi remarked from the sidelines.

“Your Senior Brother has grown up now and rarely indulges in such flamboyant displays,” Xu Fan commented, with a hint of praise for Xu Gang.

At that instant, the thousand-hand illusion formed a hand seal, and a giant as tall as a mountain appeared.

The giant’s heart pulsed with a twisting light of black and white.

It seized the swallowing giant beast summoned by the guardian true immortal and flung it aside like a small chick.

The towering giant then roared towards the heavens, with swirling black and white light emanating from its mouth.

“That’s quite the spectacle,” Xu Fan remarked, his expression turning slightly displeased.

Just as the light in the giant’s mouth reached its zenith, the giant suddenly froze and was dragged into an unknown space by a pair of massive hands.

“You have successfully conquered the arena; young friend, you are victorious,” a voice as ethereal as the Sound of the Great Dao resonated.

The arena then sank beneath the dojo.

A jade box appeared in Xu Gang’s hand, accompanied by a voice announcing it as the reward for conquering the arena.

Xu Gang, bewildered, returned to Xu Fan’s side amidst the crowd’s admiration.

“What just happened, Master?” Xu Gang inquired, puzzled.

“You got carried away with a new technique, destabilizing the yin and yang model. Just as it was about to explode, a Golden Immortal senior intervened.”

“This was a spar, not a fight to the death. Had your technique been unleashed, the guardian true immortal would have been obliterated.”

“And that Little Flower Deer maneuver you attempted wasn’t effective; best to avoid it in the future,” Xu Fan advised sternly, looking at Xu Gang.

“I understand my mistake, Master,” Xu Gang admitted, bowing his head in shame.

What could have been resolved with a powerful East Wind Divine Technique, he turned into an uncontrollable spectacle.

Xu Gang carefully opened the jade box to find 100,000 Immortal Jade and a treasure jade token from the Tianding Merchant Association, which entitled him to select a celestial treasure, each said to rival a medium-grade celestial tool.

“Not bad,” Xu Fan acknowledged, nodding at Xu Gang’s reward.

Subsequently, numerous powerful true immortals emerged to challenge the arena.

The outcomes were mixed, and eventually, five arenas remained uncontested in the spatial dojo.

Finding the scene dull, Xu Fan and his companions proceeded to the inner palace for a gathering.

“The Tianding Merchant Association has truly mastered the art of commerce,” Xu Fan observed, surveying the bustling commercial streets within the palace space.

“Let’s all explore. We’ll regroup when the celestial spirit ruin world opens,” Xu Fan instructed.

“Understood, Master (Master Ancestor).”

Han Feiyu gazed at the lively commercial street, a faint smile playing on his lips.

A few days later, rumors circulated that a tycoon had appeared in the commercial street inside the Cloud Immortal Palace, lavishly spending over a hundred million Immortal Jade and nearly acquiring half the street.

Even the Great Luo Sage guarding the palace was intrigued, but the tycoon remained elusive, using disguises.

Without the tycoon’s consent, the Tianding Merchant Association could not disclose his identity.

Han Feiyu shopped confidently within the Tianding Merchant Association, relying on the transformation celestial tool provided by his Master Ancestor and the association’s long-standing reputation.

“Master Ancestor, this is a token of appreciation from your grandson,” Han Feiyu stated earnestly, presenting a spatial jade box.
