#1846 - Rich people support the scene with money

“So, your claim of wanting to drill into Tianjiao is false. Your real goal is to have the Eternal Sky Sect compete with you, and then get me into that so-called Three Hearts Trial.”

On the Eternal Sky Sect's plaza, Ji Dongfeng stood between the Eternal Sky Sect and the Penglai Hall's people, his face full of mockery.

Upon hearing this, Chen Huatian quickly said, “Wait, we really do want to drill into Tianjiao, we…”

“That's great! Since you don't even want to drill into Tianjiao anymore, then I'll reluctantly compete with you. It's no problem,” Ji Dongfeng said with a grin, directly interrupting Chen Huatian.

“Wait, we're not…” Chen Huatian started to say.

“Okay, then next, I need to think about what you can offer.”

“You…”

“Let me ask, do you have any treasures that can increase the total amount of energy, or change the form of energy? Take them out first, since you're destined to lose anyway.”

Hearing this, Chen Huatian's mouth twitched a couple of times. He only felt a surge of anger in his heart that he couldn't vent, but Ji Dongfeng's aura was too strange, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

At the same time, the long-bearded elder called Ji Dongfeng over.

“What are you asking about those kinds of treasures for, kid?” the long-bearded elder asked.

Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng pulled the long-bearded elder to the side and briefly explained what happened.

The long-bearded elder's pupils trembled upon hearing this. Even with his state of mind and cultivation, he felt his heart pounding at this moment, almost crying out in shock.

“How could this be… The beings of the First Heaven, are they all within your body now?!” The long-bearded elder didn't speak aloud, but his voice rang in Ji Dongfeng's ears.

Ji Dongfeng nodded upon hearing this.

“I understand… If that's the case, the Penglai Hall does indeed have a treasure. This treasure is called the Silk-Extracting Pearl, and it can modify energy, but I don't know to what extent it can modify it,” the long-bearded elder said.

Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's eyes lit up, and he asked, “We'll know if we try it. What is the Penglai Hall's Three Hearts Trial?”

“Hmph, an extremely bizarre trial. After trial participants enter, their personalities often change drastically. You must not enter,” the long-bearded elder said.

“Since it's a trial, then there should be a reward. I wonder what the reward is,” Ji Dongfeng asked.

“You're not thinking of going in, are you? I'm warning you, that place does have a reward, but no living being has ever been able to obtain it. Legend says it's a chaotic and disordered place created by the Netherworld Hong Tree… Kid, that expression of yours isn't right.”

“What are you whispering about over there! Are you thinking of some kind of trick again! I think your Eternal Sky Sect might as well change its name! Just call it the Swindling Sect!” Elder Bu San shouted angrily.

Hearing this, Ji Dongfeng curled his lip and said, “If you say that, then I'll have to ask you for compensation for the sect's losses on behalf of the sect. Hall Master Chen, I can compete with you, but if you lose, you must give me the Silk-Extracting Pearl. If I lose, I'll go to your Three Hearts Trial.”

Hearing this, Chen Huatian frowned slightly and said, “The Silk-Extracting Pearl… that's a treasure that has been passed down in our Penglai Hall for many years, and it cannot be given to you easily.”

“Alas, I'm just too kind. How about this, I'll agree to one more condition. Even if you lose, I can still participate in that Three Hearts Trial,” Ji Dongfeng said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Chen Huatian was first stunned, and then said, “Wait a moment, can we just skip the competition step? I'll lend you the Silk-Extracting Pearl, and you participate in the Three Hearts Trial.”

“That won't do. How can I beat people up if we don't compete… cough cough, I mean, we must compete. The process that needs to be followed must still be followed. This is the rule,” Ji Dongfeng said with a serious face.

“That's right, we must beat them up to vent our anger, cough cough, I mean, we must resolutely follow the process,” the long-bearded elder said.

Hearing this, Chen Huatian glared at the long-bearded elder and then said, “Since that's the case, then let's compete once. According to the rules set by the predecessors of the two sects, the competition will be in the form of three against three. If the Eternal Sky Sect wins, then our Penglai Hall will lend the Silk-Extracting Pearl to Ji Dongfeng. Regardless of the outcome, Ji Dongfeng must enter our Penglai Hall's Three Hearts Trial.”

“Not lend, give,” Hu Banshan said.

“It doesn't matter. To this kid, lending and giving are the same thing,” the long-bearded elder said.

Hearing this, Chen Huatian glared at the long-bearded elder and continued, “If there are no problems, then let's prepare for the competition. The people from our Penglai Hall who will participate in the competition are already here.”

“Wait, I have another condition. This time, I want all the beings of the Third Heaven to come and watch the battle,” the long-bearded elder said.

“I have an important matter to announce.”

Hearing this, Chen Huatian's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “Long Beard, what are you going to do?”

The next moment, a crisp sound echoed throughout the entire Third Heaven, and all the beings who heard the sound changed their expressions.

“What exactly is the matter that can make you ring the World-Shocking Bell? You need to know that this thing can only be used when the entire Third Heaven encounters a major crisis,” Chen Huatian said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the long-bearded elder said in a deep voice, “I know.”

Hearing this, Chen Huatian's pupils trembled slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “What exactly is the matter… that can be called a crisis for the entire Third Heaven…”

At the same time, within the Third Heaven, beings of various races left their territories one after another, rushing towards the location of the Eternal Sky Sect at the fastest speed. Even the beings of Treading Heaven State were no exception.

In less than an incense stick's worth of time, most of the beings of the Third Heaven had arrived near the Eternal Sky Sect. However, to their surprise, a huge white jade arena floated above the Eternal Sky Sect.

“What does this mean, Sect Master Long Beard? You rang the World-Shocking Bell, you're not asking us to come and watch an arena competition, are you?” Xian Datong said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the long-bearded elder said, “This is just another purpose. In addition to this, I have another matter to announce. I'll speak when all the beings of the Third Heaven have arrived.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the crowd changed slightly. They didn't say much, but they felt that the atmosphere was much more oppressive, even more suffocating than the descent of the Demonic Path.

“Cough cough, before everyone arrives, let me say something first,” Ji Dongfeng said with a hearty laugh as he came to the center of the arena.

“Um, since everyone is here to witness this competition, please settle the ticket fees. Those with money, please support us with money; those without money, please borrow money to support us with money.”

Hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes in unison, ignoring Ji Dongfeng's words.

Another incense stick's worth of time passed, and all the beings of the Third Heaven had arrived, gathering around the arena.

Seeing this, the long-bearded elder said in a deep voice, “Everyone, if one day the Hong Sovereign abandons us, what should we do?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place was shocked.
