Chapter 1669: The Waning Moon Heaven Immortal
The entire hall fell silent.
No one thought Qin Nan would dare to challenge the Meng Jiugong instead of backing away.
"That's more like it."
Lin Qingpo, Xiu Shenliang, Lin Qingpo, and the rest of the Peerless Geniuses were intrigued.
If Qin Nan compromised, even though Meng Jiugong had mentioned that the man's strength was worthy to be ranked in the top five, they would not place any attention on him.
"HAHA."
Meng Jiugong burst out laughing. He rose to his feet and shook the cup in his hand, "If you successfully ascend as an immortal, you can choose any..."
"Any of the two Blessed Immortal Land of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect!"
The crowd was utterly stunned.
Even the hearts of the authorities of various Supreme Daoism factions pounded heavily.
Two Blessed Immortal Lands!
Most Peerless Rulers in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm only had one Blessed Immortal Land.
Despite how wealthy the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect was, it would still be a great loss to them.
How confident was this Meng Jiugong!?
"Two Blessed Immortal Lands?"
Qin Nan was slightly startled, but he soon collected his thoughts. His eyes were engulfed in a golden flame.
"Deal!"
If he managed to secure the two Blessed Immortal Lands, once he ascended as an immortal, he would have the requirements to become a Peerless Ruler.
"Fellow cultivators, pardon me."
Suddenly, a skinny old man in a long robe with purple runes slowly rose to his feet and faced the crowd.
"I forgot to introduce, this is the Supreme Elder of the Sky Taihuang Sect, Wanning Moon Heaven Immortal. He will be in charge of the Battle of the Strongest Immortal."
A Supreme Elder of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect said.
The Peerless Geniuses in the hall, including Qin Nan, Qiu Hong, and the others immediately placed their attention on the man.
They did not only participate in the Immortal Ascension War so they could ascend, but they were inclined to compete for the glorious title of the Strongest Immortal!
"Hehe, I would like to say something, I hope Young Master is fine with it."
The Wanning Moon Heaven Immortal brought his fists together at Meng Jiugong with a smile. He then straightened his face and said, "Currently, the rest of the Peerless Geniuses, and many Human Immortals are making their way toward the Sky Taihuang Sect."
"Only the World of Yin and Yang and the Lunar Sky Tower remain."
Fellow cultivators, once you are done here at the World of Yin and Yang, if you successfully ascend as an immortal, please activate this badge at once."
The Wanning Moon Heaven Immortal flung his sleeves. Rays of immortal glow landed in front of each of the Peerless Geniuses, including Qiu Hong and Xu Xianzhi.
"Mm?"
The crowd soon realized one thing.
Every Peerless Genius was given the badge, apart from Qin Nan.
However, Wan Xiao who was currently wearing a disguise of a Purple-Golden Godly Bird did not receive the badge either.
"Elder Wanning Moon, what do you mean by this? Why didn't you give Brother Nan a badge?"
Qiu Hong withheld the anger in him and said.
First Meng Jiugong, now the Wanning Moon Heaven Immortal too?
Did these people seriously think they could pick on Qin Nan as they pleased?
"Qin Nan will surely be suppressed by Young Master's Flesh of Good Luck. He has no chance of ascending as an immortal. Why would I give him the badge?"
The Wanning Moon Heaven Immortal said calmly, "That's all I have to say. Fellow elders, please proceed with the bets."
The crowd came to a realization.
It was quite obvious that the Wanning Moon Heaven Immortal did not hold any grudge against Qin Nan. He could easily give the badges once the World of Yin and Yang came to an end.
However, the Wanning Moon Heaven Immortal had purposely given the badges to everyone except Qin Nan. He was taking hold of the opportunity to fawn upon Meng Jiugong.
"You..."
Qiu Hong almost lost his calm.
"A Heaven Immortal acting so unscrupulously, how disgusting..."
Wan Xiao clenched his teeth. How dare this old man not give him a badge!
"It's fine, let them be."
Qin Nan transmitted his thought with a calm face.
It was meaningless to say anything further. He just needed to shut them all up with the final outcome.
"HAHA, fellow cultivators, let's get down to business."
A Supreme Elder of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect burst out laughing and performed a strange seal with his hands.
"Some cultivators have asked us, what if none of the Peerless Geniuses on the Immortal Ascension Ranking actually ascends?"
"That's very unlikely! However, you will find some other bets at the bottom of the Immortal Ascension Ranking."
"If twenty Peerless Geniuses failed to ascend as an immortal, the odds are 1:2.3."
"If thirty Peerless Genius failed to ascend as an immortal, the odds are 1:3."
"If forty Peerless Geniuses failed to ascend as an immortal, everyone that placed a bet, regardless of how much, will all receive four times of the amount they bet."
His voice not only echoed in the hall, but in the entire Flowing Moon Dao City too, like a clap of thunder.
"Everyone, time is limited, place your bets now!"
His final words woke the cultivators up from their astonishment.
The Flowing Moon Dao City turned restless.
"I didn't know there are rules like that!"
"I'm going to bet on twenty Peerless Geniuses aren't going to ascend!"
"What's the point of that? Just bet on Luo Yan with me!"
"Bet on Lin Qingpo instead, you won't lose any money betting on him. Forget about Xiu Shenliang though!"
The cultivators, regardless of their cultivation, all took out their Immortal Stones and rare artifacts to place their bets.
Even the authorities in the hall and the Peerless Geniuses had the same reaction.
The whole place was bustling with noise.
After all, many people rarely had a chance to participate in such a grand bet.
However, in comparison, only a few cultivators had placed their bets on Qin Nan.
The rumors had spread rapidly. The rumors that the God of Misfortune, Qin Nan being suppressed by Meng Jiugong soon spread among the cultivators.
It went without saying that the cultivators were unwilling to bet on Qin Nan.
How could a mere Qin Nan stand a chance against Meng Jiugong's good luck?
Time gradually passed. Midnight arrived fairly quickly. The people could no longer place their bets, yet the Flowing Moon Dao City was still as restless.
The cultivators were discussing the bets they had placed, while expressing their thoughts about the Peerless Geniuses.
"By the way, I will mention one thing too."
"The World of Yin and Yang will be accessible in just a few moments."
"It will close in ten days, and we will know the outcome of the bets by then!"
The Supreme Elder of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect said. Not long after, a black light and a white light soared into the sky.
A giant gap slowly appeared.
