Chapter 503: Chapter 181 Frequent Appearances of Heavenly Pride - Part 6

After that, the Four Extremes Sect did not trouble Old Man Four Extremes again, essentially acknowledging this title for him.

However, Lan Pili mentioned that there was still another expert from the Four Extremes Sect who made a move later on, seemingly their Grand Elder. Some also say that it was the Sect Leader of the Four Extremes Sect who took action personally.

In any case, it was definite that someone from the Four Extremes Sect made a move again later on because many people witnessed a great battle taking place in a remote area.

Many could tell from the heavenly phenomenon that it was someone from the Four Extremes Sect fighting against Old Man Four Extremes.

But that battle was not made public, and nobody knew the final outcome.

However, one thing was almost certain: Old Man Four Extremes did not lose in that battle. Otherwise, even if the Four Extremes Sect did not mention it, he himself would no longer claim to be Old Man Four Extremes.

In any event, Old Man Four Extremes was an existence that definitely would not be weaker than the leaders of the top ten Immortal Sects, and even more people suspected that Old Man Four Extremes had won that fight.

Moreover, Old Man Four Extremes was quite peculiar; he rarely took on disciples, but each time one of his disciples came down the mountain, they were bound to be exceptionally talented.

But these disciples, no matter how talented, did not have the words "Four Extremes" in their names.

Even a disciple that had previously descended from the mountain was named Three Extremes Child.

The meaning was quite clear: Three Extremes Child had learned the Four Extremes from Old Man Four Extremes. This Three Extremes Child was also the strongest among the few disciples that Old Man Four Extremes had sent down the mountain before.

Yet now, a disciple of Old Man Four Extremes descended from the mountain with the name Four Extremes Child!

This signified full mastery of Old Man Four Extremes’ teachings!

Just a change in name was enough to warrant everyone’s attention.

Cao Zhen then looked at another name.

"Freely Child, disciple of Old Man Zhi Ran! [Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection]."

Previously, during the meeting of the Peak Masters of the Hundred Peaks Sect, Bai Fengzi also mentioned the closed-door disciple of Old Man Zhi Ran coming down the mountain.

Four Extremes Child initially gained recognition for his strength through a battle with the Four Extremes Sect.

And the list of powerful opponents who have fought Old Man Zhi Ran is much longer.

Currently, in the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, Demon Sects like the Red Refinery Demonic Sect and the Sun and Moon Demon Sect have already been uprooted.

However, this does not mean that all cultivators within the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty are on the path of righteousness.

Like Old Man Zhi Ran, he is someone who walks the line between righteousness and evil; not evil in the sense of being demonic because if he were, he would probably have been slain by the Grand Preceptor by now.

Old Man Zhi Ran is indeed peculiar; he has always acted according to his own preferences and would naturally not engage in malevolent acts.

The deeds he commits are all within the Grand Preceptor’s tolerance.

Because he straddles righteousness and evil, he has also clashed with quite a few of the righteous Immortal Sects. He has fought with the Bright Heart Sect, the Thousand Caves Door, and it is said he has even clashed with their Hundred Peaks Sect.

In any case, he never ended up on the losing side in any of these conflicts.

The most severe clash, however, was with the Infinite Temple.

The master of the Infinite Temple, the little monk’s teacher, the great monk once fought a two-day and two-night battle with Old Man Zhi Ran without a winner emerging!

Old Man Zhi Ran and Old Man Four Extremes are both recognized as the strongest independent cultivators throughout the entire Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

Neither of them founded a Sect, but both have taken in disciples.

Although Old Man Four Extremes has few disciples, counting Four Extremes Child, he has sent down a total of four disciples from his mountain.

As for Old Man Zhi Ran, many knew he had taken a disciple before and that he had only taken this one disciple.

Over these years, Old Man Zhi Ran never sent his disciple down the mountain.

This time, it was his first time sending his disciple down the mountain.

Old Man Zhi Ran, being such a powerful figure and having no Sect distractions, could naturally focus entirely on cultivating his disciple.

His disciple’s descent from the mountain, even without having made a single move, was looked upon favorably by countless people.

Besides these two, the third was a disciple from one of the top ten Immortal Sects, the Divine Dao Sect.

"Zong Wuji, Divine Dao Sect, personally taught by the Sect Leader: [Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection]. The only direct disciple taken in by the Divine Dao Sect Leader in nearly a thousand years.

He is also the great-grandson of the previous Sect Leader of the Divine Dao Sect, Limitless Taoist. The Divine Dao Sect says he has inherited his ancestor’s prowess."

The top ten Immortal Sects, unlike the Hundred Peaks Sect, do not have rankings among their different peaks.

There are no specific rankings for the ten great Immortal Sects, but the Divine Dao Sect is commonly recognized as the strongest among them, the number one Dao gate of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty!

Besides these three people, and in addition to Cao Zhen and Star Lord Hao Yue, all the other participants with [Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection] who received odds to finish in the top ten had the same odds, two to one.

And now, just from the publicly announced participants, there were already more than thirty people with [Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection]. After all, each of the ten major Immortal Sects had at least two disciples with this level of completion. Adding people like Wu Jianzi and Lu Yiren, while the Ten Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection might be rare, looking across the entire Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, there were probably no issues surpassing forty individuals. It is expected that as the competition continues, even more practitioners of [Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection] would emerge.

Forty individuals, each with odds of two to one, that indeed seemed like a good deal.

Cao Zhen couldn’t place his bets on others, so in the end, he found that he could only bet on himself unless there was another way to wager.

The shopkeeper of the betting house, although a mere mortal, for some reason kept his gaze on Cao Zhen and Yi Sheng ever since they entered the establishment. freewёbnoνel.com

Upon seeing Cao Zhen approaching, his face immediately brimmed with a smile, saying, "Gentlemen, are you here to place a bet?"

"Exactly, to place a bet," Cao Zhen pointed at the signboard in the betting house and asked, "Let me ask, can we only bet on the first and the eleventh place?"

The shopkeeper nodded and replied, "That’s correct, those are the only bets available."

"Can I place a combination bet? For example, I bet on Cao Zhen as the first, and then, at the same time, I bet that Ling Xi, Yan Yourong, Xiang Ziyu, and Bei Yan will all be in the top eleven. However, their odds can be stacked together?"

The shopkeeper appeared stunned upon hearing this and after a moment, he shook his head and said, "Esteemed customer, our betting house does not offer such a betting method."

"You don’t?" Cao Zhen sighed deeply as he looked at the utterly bewildered shopkeeper, thinking how backward this was. There’s no quinella or superfecta, which meant he could only bet on himself to make any real money.

So backward, much too backward.

Behind him, Yi Sheng listened to his master’s words, his eyes revealing a bright gleam, thinking, ’Is that even possible?’ He needed to hurry back and inform his father about this innovative way of betting.
