After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

"I'll naturally bet on Zhongqiu from my sect. Old man Li, which one are you betting on? Could it be that you've set your sights on some prodigy?"

After taking a swig of wine, Elder Zou of Wuji Palace began to tease.

He was drinking Li Family Mulberry Wine, which had a strong aftereffect and was already feeling quite lightheaded.

"Neither of those, I bet on him!"

Li Ziming shook his head and smiled, then suddenly raised his right hand and pointed to a certain spot on the sea.

The finger was pointing in the distance, and it was...

Qin Chuan!

As Li Ziming's voice fell, all the Xuanhuang Realm experts in the area turned to look.

Upon seeing that the person they were betting on was Qin Chuan, everyone's expressions varied.

Li Wu of the Brahma Gate frowned slightly.

"Ha ha…"

Elder Zou gave Li Ziming a meaningful look, then laughed and said, "Old man Li, you don't think that kid is the strongest just because he defeated Wang Jiadaozi, do you?"

Wang Teng had only just broken through to the ninth level of the Profound King realm, and his cultivation level was not yet consolidated.

Even Gu Changkong and Fang Xueyi could easily defeat him!

Ignoring Elder Zou's taunts, Li Ziming remained calm and smiled, "Want to bet or not!"

Seeing Li Ziming's decisiveness, Elder Zou was surprised, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be that this kid really has some extraordinary talent?"

Elder Zou looked at Qin Chuan in the center of the sea, a question forming in his mind.

Before he could speak, a hoarse voice came from not far away.

"Okay, what should we bet on!"

The speaker was an old woman with white hair from the Yin-Yang Sect.

Her skin was dry and with faint brown spots on her face. She was staring at Li Ziming with a forced smile.

"I'll gamble on the Emperor's Spirit Fruit!"

Li Ziming flicked his sleeve, and suddenly raised his right hand, pointing to his brow.

A phantom seemed to materialize and landed in his palm.

Before long, the illusory figure transformed into a fruit, like a spiritual fruit, emitting a faint fragrance.

This is the Royal Spirit Fruit!

It is something that only cultivators at the Profound Emperor Realm can create within their own sea of ​​consciousness.

This item is a rare and precious treasure, capable of quickly restoring one's spiritual energy and healing injuries.

Each Royal Spirit Fruit was nurtured extremely slowly within the sea of ​​consciousness.

It takes anywhere from a few years to more than ten years to grow, and it is the most precious thing a cultivator in the Profound Emperor Realm possesses.

Furthermore, it can only be actively condensed, which is why this item is traded among Xuanhuang Realm experts.

It's like a rare and precious healing remedy.

As Li Ziming spoke, the surrounding cultivators fell into deep thought.

A moment later, they condensed into Royal Spirit Fruits one by one.

In this way, the nine Royal Spirit Fruits floated in mid-air, emitting a fragrance.

The nine people who participated in the gambling were basically all disciples of their respective sects and families.

But besides Li Ziming choosing Qin Chuan, there was another person who chose Qin Chuan.

That was the elder leading the Heavenly Sword Sect this time!

"Elder Di, as an elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect, why do you think highly of a disciple from the Boundless Palace?"

A Xuanhuang Realm expert from the Blazing Fire Sect looked at the elder who was leading the team from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"I just can't stand this kid!"

Elder Di of the Heavenly Sword Sect, dressed in a yellow robe, spoke with an ordinary expression.

Although he said that, he was secretly overjoyed.

He had recognized Qin Chuan long ago, and as for the other party's deeds in the sect, there was no need to elaborate.

Being ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking alone is enough to prove that the other party is the strongest among the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Not to mention that when Qin Chuan defeated Wang Teng in the square earlier, he looked completely relaxed.

Even if we take a step back and Qin Chuan can't be the first to reach the towering tree, he's definitely stronger than Cao Jun, so there's naturally no reason not to choose him.

Upon hearing Elder Di's words, the Xuanhuang Realm expert from the Blazing Fire Sect shook his head and said nothing more.

"Why is everyone choosing this kid..."

Elder Zou frowned, his doubts deepening.

He had absolutely no recollection of this disciple from his own sect…

Nine Royal Spirit Fruits floated in mid-air. To the Xuanhuang Realm experts, their faces appeared calm at this moment, but their hearts were already itching with desire.

They all gazed at the central area of ​​the sea, looking at the disciples of their respective sects and families.

Li Bo smiled slightly at the bettors and did not stop them.

Two middle-aged men were beside him; one was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, looking completely relaxed.

The other one had a gloomy expression, looking at the group of cultivators on the sea with a scrutinizing gaze.

As for Li Qingshu, he sat quietly beside Ancestor Li Bo, smiling without speaking, though a glint of shrewdness occasionally flashed in his eyes.

Li Ziming was in high spirits, his eyes fixed intently on the sea and on Qin Chuan.

"Kid, don't let me down..." Li Ziming thought to himself.

He had high expectations for Qin Chuan.

First, the Li family was shaken, then he spat out eight mouthfuls of blood in succession, and finally the family head warned him not to provoke Qin Chuan.

All of this proves that these events are closely related to this person.

Li Ziming also recalled that the second place of inheritance that day, if it weren't for Wang Xifan's intervention, would have been lost.

It seems the right to inherit that place should belong to Qin Chuan…

Just as everyone here was putting out their bets, dozens of people were gathered near a towering tree in the central area of ​​the sea.

They were all rushing forward, even as the pressure ahead grew stronger, forcing them to slow down, they continued to move forward.

The fastest one right now isn't Gu Changkong, but Wang Teng!

Wang Teng's eyes were already bloodshot, and when he rushed out at this moment, he seemed to disregard everything.

For him, this was a desperate opportunity.

Once he becomes the son-in-law of the Li family, not only will his position as the heir of the Wang family be secured, but he will also have the possibility of rising again.

"Qin Chuan, and that bitch Fang Yuyan, you two just wait!!"

Wang Teng gritted his teeth and closed the distance by more than ten feet in a flash.

Besides Wang Teng, there was also Gu Changkong. He approached silently, his face showing a calm and collected expression, as if he was conserving his strength.

Secondly, there are the cultivators of various sects, and Cao Jun, Sang Yuan, and Zhong Qiu of Wuji Palace are all in this category.

Gu Qingfeng, positioned slightly behind and protected by the Gu family, flew at a leisurely pace.

He did not choose to stay where he was, nor did he think about competing for the position of Li's son-in-law.

I just wanted to participate, hoping it would be of some help to my future cultivation career.

On the contrary, Qin Chuan is clearly lagging behind.

But he remained calm, understanding that winning first doesn't necessarily mean winning in the long run.

Each time Qin Chuan took a step, he would pause slightly to absorb the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

As time passed, an hour went by in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Wang Teng was only about 20 zhang away from the towering tree, while Gu Changkong was still about 50 zhang away.

The others were also all within a hundred feet.

Qin Chuan was still a hundred feet away!

Seeing this, Li Ziming's face turned ugly, while the other Xuanhuang Realm experts wore smiles.

At this moment, Qin Chuan, standing at the edge of the hundred-foot-wide edge, took a deep breath, having carefully absorbed the profound energy along the way.

His cultivation level was actually advancing little by little towards the late stage of the eighth level of the Profound King realm!
