"Yes, Master!"

A response echoed, and Jiang Chen continued maneuvering in the valley.

"Elder Wine-crazed, you don't think the Maze Formation he laid down can confuse us all here, do you?"

The refined man spoke with a gentle laugh.

"That's impossible, but I have a feeling his Formation might be more powerful than the Maze Formation we two set up together!"

Wine-crazed waved his hand, then looked at Jiang Chen maneuvering in the valley with anticipation.

The refined man was slightly taken aback, smiled noncommittally, clearly not believing Wine-crazed's judgment.

"Old drunkard, you're really blowing it out of proportion! That kid can lay down a Formation stronger than the one you and the Sect Master set up together? If he can set up such a Formation..."

The elder with a late-stage demeanor spoke with a cold sneer.

"If my disciple sets up a Formation stronger than the original Maze Formation, will you give your precious wooden carving to my disciple? How about it?"

Wine-crazed looked provocatively at the late-stage elder.

The late-stage elder's face turned green, and he shouted angrily, "Old drunkard, don't covet my precious stuff."

"Old codger, are you afraid to bet? Seems like you also believe my disciple can lay down a Formation stronger than the one I set up with the Headmaster!"

Wine-crazed spoke smugly.

"Southern Madness, stop deceiving my father. What will you do if you lose? Give your wine gourd to my dad?"

The alluring lady rolled her eyes at Wine-crazed.

"I..."

Wine-crazed suddenly went dumbfounded, gripping the wine gourd on his waist as if someone was about to snatch it.

"Right! I can bet. I'll put up the wooden carving, and you put up your wine gourd. How about it?"

The late-stage elder looked at Wine-crazed with a chuckle.

The indifferent man also turned his head to look at Wine-crazed with a teasing expression in his eyes, "Elder Wine-crazed, don't you dare?"

"Elder Wine-crazed, you proposed the bet. If you don't dare, it means you don't trust your disciple!"

The refined man also teased.

"I..."

Wine-crazed hesitated, with a look of doubt flashing in his eyes. He suddenly turned to look at Jiang Chen, who had already stopped: "Kid, do you have the confidence to set up a Formation stronger than the previous Maze Formation?"

The four refined men were taken aback. They were just joking earlier, never expecting that Wine-crazed would take it seriously after being provoked.

"The previous Maze Formation? It had a flaw!"

Jiang Chen flashed to Wine-crazed's side, "The Maze Formation earlier lacked a Formation Eye, requiring someone inside the Formation to fully exert its power. Such a Formation can make slight changes according to the person's intention in the Formation but falls short. A truly sophisticated Formation changes on its own. Once someone enters, the Formation activates independently, changing with the person's movement inside. That's a true Formation."

"I understand the reasoning. I asked if you can set up a more powerful one!"

Wine-crazed looked at Jiang Chen with slight tension.

"I can, I just need to set up a..."

Jiang Chen nodded confidently.

"I'll bet!"

Before Jiang Chen could finish, Wine-crazed suddenly shouted, took off the wine gourd from his waist, and turned to the late-stage elder: "Old codger, I'm betting. If I lose, this wine gourd is yours. If I win, that wooden carving goes to Young Jiang. It's settled!"

"Old drunkard, are you serious?"

The late-stage elder looked at Wine-crazed in surprise, and the three refined men also showed incredulous expressions.

Jiang Chen blinked, and a hint of amusement appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Is Master trying to pull a fast one?

"Of course I'm serious, will you bet or not!"

Wine-crazed looked at the late-stage elder earnestly.

The late-stage elder slightly frowned, looked at Wine-crazed, then at Jiang Chen, and nodded heavily, "I'll bet with you. If I lose, the treasure is yours. But if you lose, I don't want your wine gourd."

Staring directly at Jiang Chen, the late-stage elder solemnly said, "Young man, I don't know why the old drunkard trusts you so much, but I hope you can understand that if he loses, you should know that he trusts you, and you shouldn't betray his trust. When you can't do something, don't let others believe in your boast just because of their trust, as that's a form of deceit too!"

"Master, can these seniors be trusted?"

Jiang Chen did not respond to the late-stage elder but instead turned to Wine-crazed.

The late-stage elder frowned slightly, and the refined men showed slight discontent in their eyes.

Wine-crazed hesitated for a moment, then instantly understood Jiang Chen's meaning, and solemnly said, "They can be trusted. You can trust them as you trust me!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, turning to the late-stage elder, "Senior, when words of trust are not boastful, aren't they not deceit either?"

Before the late-stage elder could respond, Jiang Chen flicked his wrist, and a Spirit Stone flew from his hand, hovering in mid-air at the center of the valley.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Four beams shot out from Jiang Chen's body, one white, one fiery red, one pale blue, and one golden.

An aura of the Great Dao burst forth from Jiang Chen.

"This..."

The four refined men's faces changed drastically, with an incredulous look in their eyes, staring intently at Jiang Chen, their gaze turning instantly fervent.

"You are the Heavenly Dao..."

The late-stage elder exclaimed.

"Shut up!"

Wine-crazed quickly interrupted the late-stage elder with a low shout.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Four beams shot out from Jiang Chen's body and flew to the Spirit Stone in the air, directly merging into it.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Brilliant divine light burst from the Spirit Stone, with dozens of threads composed of four-colored lights shooting out from the Spirit Stone, piercing into dozens of positions in the valley, where Spirit Stones suddenly appeared at the points of contact, shooting towards other Spirit Stones.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Eight places Jiang Chen hadn't reached before erupted with green and earthy yellow light upon contact with the four-colored threads, directly shooting into the Spirit Stone in the air.

In an instant, all the threads turned into six colors, and when the six-colored threads formed a closed loop, the entire valley was covered with six-colored threads.

Whoosh!

The six-colored threads flashed simultaneously and vanished instantly, along with the Spirit Stone in the air.

"The Formation is set, seniors, please challenge the Formation!"

Jiang Chen turned to look at the four refined men, speaking with a light smile.

The four refined men glanced at each other and carefully scrutinized the valley.

At this moment, the valley had returned to tranquility, and even the subtle Great Dao pressure disappeared, as if there was no Formation at all.

"Let me try."

The refined man spoke softly and took two steps forward.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A mist suddenly appeared in the valley, quickly filling the entire area.

"I'll try too!"

The late-stage elder stepped into the mist.

The alluring lady and the indifferent man exchanged a glance and strode in together.
