Long Qiushui's face was as calm as water, and the light in his eyes shifted. He couldn't help but fall silent.

Even Huang Wushuang was somewhat at a loss for words. The Long Family and Huang Family had been on good terms for generations, and he had competed with Long Qiushui since childhood. This competition was also something their elders enjoyed seeing. The two brothers pushed each other to climb upwards, pursuing the Supreme Realm. It was a good thing.

Therefore, an excellent Heavenly Crystal Stone worth a hundred million being tricked out of Long Qiushui, or being tricked by Long Qiushui, was something the elders of both families would merely joke about over tea, without paying much attention to it.

A hundred million was nothing to the two families, nowhere near enough to cause real harm or anger.

But five hundred million... even for distinguished clans like the Long Family and Huang Family, that amount was still painful!

Especially if the money really ended up in the hands of an outsider.

By then, some might say that Huang Wushuang had set up Long Qiushui. This outcome was definitely not what Huang Wushuang wanted to see.

Yet this bet was clearly instigated by them and was based on Chu Mo's setup. Both morally and logically, they couldn't blame Chu Mo. It's just that they had never expected Chu Mo would be so resolute, with such strong foundations, that by merely speaking... he could involve a giant like Lingdan Hall!

At this point, even Huang Wushuang began to feel like he was riding a tiger and found it hard to get off.

No matter the issues between him and Long Qiushui, that was one thing, but he had never intended to drive Long Qiushui to his death. If that happened, it wasn't just the Long Family that wouldn't easily forgive him—neither would the Huang Family.

"What? You all... have so little confidence in me?" Zhang Shuangshuang couldn't tolerate it anymore.

Her level, although at the peak of Heavenly Immortal, had formidable combat strength. She wasn't just some domineering young lady prone to tantrums. Her peak Heavenly Immortal level wasn't just for show. Besides, she also carried a family heirloom supreme artifact!

It was prepared for her quest on the heavenly road!

Although being by Long Qiushui's side ensured her safety, it was also a precaution for the unexpected.

Seeing Long Qiushui and Huang Wushuang remain silent, Zhang Shuangshuang truly became angry. She knew what the two young masters were contemplating and couldn't help saying, "A Luo Jin Immortal, spoiled by the Realm Spirit in the Spirit Realm, really thought he could be as arrogant and unbridled in the Heavenly Realm as he was in the Spirit Realm? I can suppress him in the blink of an eye! What are you worried about?"

Long Qiushui suddenly looked up, looked at Chu Mo, and said indifferently, "Are you sure, you really want to bet?"

"Are you scared?" Chu Mo asked calmly.

"Provocation has no meaning to me. Since you want to play big, then I, Long Qiushui... have no reason not to accompany!" Long Qiushui said, taking out a folding fan from his body and flipping it open with a swoosh. A vast aura burst out from the fan!

The aura contained a desolate sense from ancient times, mixed with innumerable laws of the Great Dao, mingling together to form strands of precious energy, dancing around the folding fan.

"Mountain and River Treasure Fan!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"It's a supreme artifact," someone stated.

"Is it really that fan?" A cultivator looked stonily at the folding fan in Long Qiushui's hand, his eyes widening.

"It is said that the Mountain and River Treasure Fan was once refined from millions of miles of mountains and rivers by a supreme being of the Long Family! Once activated, the mountains and rivers reappear, and just its weight alone could crush a great power!" someone knowledgeable exclaimed.

Long Qiushui looked at Chu Mo and said, "This fan, being a supreme artifact, is worth far more than five hundred million top-grade Heavenly Crystals..."

Huang Wushuang suddenly spoke up, interrupting Long Qiushui, and said, "This fan, not even two billion top-grade Heavenly Crystals could buy, Long Qiushui, you..."

This time, Huang Wushuang did not call him Little Dragon, obviously being very serious.

Long Qiushui interrupted Huang Wushuang in turn and said indifferently, "First, I have absolute confidence in Shuangshuang; this is a battle destined for victory, and I have no reason to be frightened off. Second, I've heard that Young Master Chu is formidable, overcoming stronger opponents in the Spirit Realm and Immortal Realm, likely one of those with an invincible belief. Coincidentally, I am such a person too! So, I believe, I will not lose!"

With a mention of Young Master Chu, Chu Mo's identity was now clear.

"What if?" Huang Wushuang looked seriously at Long Qiushui. "The Mountain and River Treasure Fan is of extraordinary significance to you."

Long Qiushui said, "If I can lose even then, I accept it. I won't blame anyone!"

Huang Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, took a deep look at Long Qiushui, and said, "If that's the case, I'm out of this bet, you two play." He then looked coldly at Zhang Shuangshuang, Zhao Dongming, and the others, "You should also drop out of the bet."

Zhang Shuangshuang seemed somewhat dissatisfied, thinking why Chu Mo could, but not her? But the words at the tip of her tongue were swallowed back; her twenty or thirty million... compared to a bet of five hundred million, really wasn't much at all.

Long Qiushui suddenly burst into laughter at this moment, looking at Huang Wushuang and saying, "No matter what you think, this time, I owe you one."

"No need, I'd rather see you lose. Just lost the interest in tricking you," Huang Wushuang said.

Long Qiushui chuckled, "Since that's the case, why don't we... find a notary?"

The lazy voice came again, "You naughty little fellows, always making a big deal out of trifles, aren't you? Well then, big sister will be your notary. All of you, get in here!"

Although Chu Mo didn't know who the owner of the lazy voice was, seeing that Long Qiushui, Huang Wushuang, including Liu Feng... all had no objections, naturally, he wouldn't say much either.

At this moment, the lazy voice sounded again, "This battle can also be considered a feast before the opening of the heavenly road, just to warm up. As it is a feast, it's no fun with too few people. So today, let's break the norm. All those spectators outside, come on in. But you need to behave, you are only allowed to watch, not to interfere. After watching the battle... you should leave. Anyone who dares not to comply, trying to secretly stay or take more extreme actions, don't blame me for being rude."

Boom!

From all directions, there came a thunderous cheer!

The cultivators who didn't qualify to enter the Heavenly Dao Garden were excited and somewhat overwhelmed. They had never dreamt that they would have a chance to enter the Heavenly Dao Garden.

Even though they could only watch this battle after entering, just being able to step into the Heavenly Dao Garden... was itself an incredible opportunity!

Suddenly, a huge crowd surged into the Heavenly Dao Garden. The number was actually in the thousands!

With people from the Heavenly Dao Garden leading the way, they brought the crowd towards a place inside the garden.

It was only upon approaching that Chu Mo discovered that the Heavenly Dao Garden was actually a miniature world!

Inside was a completely different realm!

From the outside, one could never tell; it just seemed like an ordinary garden.

The inside was vast, with pavilions, water kiosks, small bridges over flowing water, and the ground planted with a great number of rare plants, some Divine Birds and Heavenly Beasts walked amongst them, causing waves of exclamations.

"Look, that's the Illusion Flower! Legend has it that eating one can double one's movement speed, an Emperor-level great medicine!"

"That's a Precious Treasure Chicken, it's said that not only is the meat delicious, but it can also seek various treasures! Very rare, some people even said that Precious Treasure Chickens were extinct, but to think there are so many here!"

"That's a Fire Feathered Crane, a kind of Divine Bird..."

"That is..."

Inside the Heavenly Dao Garden, the superb medicinal materials and creatures were simply too numerous to count; along the way, from initial awe, everyone gradually became somewhat numb.

Now they finally realized why ordinary cultivators were not qualified to enter the Heavenly Dao Garden. Just the things inside here are enough to make one feel the urge to move it all away!

Chu Mo thought the same in his heart, muttering, "What a waste of heavenly resources... all these good things, just left here? If only I could take some back."

Hu Lie: "..."
