An All-In Wager

Ning Qi and his two companions surrounded the five-colored treasure boat.

Wei Xian and Lin Chen stood on the treasure ship, looking up at it.

The two paid special attention to the Holy Ancestor opposite them, whose Golden Immortal Golden Immortal light was dazzling.

They knew perfectly well what the Golden Immortal light meant; the other party must be an immortal who had opened the Golden Immortal Gate.

Even the Golden Immortal Sect couldn't achieve that!

Sensing the auras of the three, the one with the Golden Immortal light was clearly a newly ascended immortal, which relieved the two of them.

Strangely, the three people opposite were led by the young man.

The two whispered among themselves, wondering if the young man possessed strength they couldn't fathom.

Wei Xian looked at Ning Qi and said, "Since you've discovered us, I'll be frank: we have indeed come for the remains of Mount Buzhou."

Ning Qi repeated the previous question, asking, "Who are you?"

Wei Xian and Lin Chen exchanged a glance.

The two still did not make a move, but instead said frankly, "Rogue Cultivator Wei Xian and Lin Chen, it's time to tell us your identities."

"Rogue Cultivator?"

Ning Qi and the other two were slightly surprised.

Wei Xian laughed and said, "There are countless worlds in the Boundary Sea, and countless cultivators. But having reached our level, yet not having gone to the Immortal Realm, who among us isn't Rogue Cultivator? Could it be that you have already joined some Immortal Realm?"

These words were met with considerable agreement from Ning Qi and the other two.

Rogue Cultivator are often considered to be cultivators without a sect. In their original world, they were either the leaders of a sect or the ancestors of a world, not Rogue Cultivator.

But once they reach their current level, transcending the world and having higher pursuits, what else can they be but Rogue Cultivator?

Ning Qi said, "We are Rogue Cultivator the True Martial Spirit World Realm."

"True Martial Spirit World, the name of that spirit realm just now?"

Ning Qi nodded.

Wei Xian and the other two had already given their names, but Ning Qi and the other two had not, making them feel looked down upon.

Wei Xian then asked, "We followed the trail of the remnant of Mount Buzhou and arrived here. Is that remnant of Mount Buzhou in your possession?"

"Yes, it's definitely in my hands."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xian and his companion's immortal eyes flickered.

Lin Chen spoke up, "Could you give it to the two of us?"

Before Ning Qi could reply, the Holy Ancestor shouted, "What if you don't allow it?"

"You won't let us?" Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous glint flashing in his blue pupils. "Then we'll just have to take it ourselves!"

Upon hearing this, the Sea Ancestor suddenly emitted wisps of Golden Immortal light, and a hint of madness flashed in his icy eyes, silently intimidating everyone.

Although she has not yet become an immortal, her body has been baptized by Golden Immortal light, making her a half-immortal.

With the addition of newly learned immortal cultivation Cultivation Method, he is comparable to a true immortal.

Wei Xian and Lin Chen were visibly startled.

They had clearly misunderstood, thinking that Haizu had also become an immortal.

Wei Xian reached out and stopped the somewhat impulsive Lin Chen, saying:

"We came only for the remains of Mount Buzhou and have no intention of harming anyone."

Ning Qi said calmly, "I am also interested in the remnants of Mount Buzhou in your possession. How about you hand them over to me?"

Lin Chen then spoke up, "Brother Wei, don't waste time arguing with them. Just take what you're entitled to, otherwise it'll be even more troublesome when that guy arrives later."

Wei Xian's eyebrows furrowed into the character "Chuan", as if he was thinking.

The three fragments of Mount Buzhou have all emerged this time; they simply arrived here a little earlier.

I originally thought that the opponent had only just obtained the remnant of Mount Buzhou and was not very strong, so I could easily defeat him.

Unexpectedly, the other side included two Golden Immortal, exceeding their expectations, not to mention an unfathomable young man.

But if they continue to drag this out, the other guy they sensed will call sooner or later.

That guy possesses the largest piece of the Mount Buzhou remnant, so his strength must be even greater!

Therefore, a prolonged stalemate would do more harm than good, and it seems that the only thing that can be done right now is to forcefully take control as quickly as possible.

Ning Qi, however, gleaned new information from their conversation.

"You mean that guy behind us? Could there be someone else behind us?"

Wei Xian didn't hide anything about this; he probably wanted to use this information to force Ning Qi to submit.

"That's right, we sensed that there were people heading this way when we arrived."

"There are others?"

This surprised both the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor.

They naturally understood that regardless of whether the two sides remained deadlocked or even engaged in battle, the arrival of a third party would be most advantageous.

Wei Xian continued:

"Perhaps you have only recently obtained the fragments of Mount Buzhou and are not yet proficient in sensing other fragments. We, on the other hand, have possessed fragments for a thousand years. Based on the auras that resonate between the fragments of Mount Buzhou, we can deduce that the fragment in the hand of the person behind Mount Buzhou is likely the largest. Their strength may far surpass that of both of us..."

Ning Qi remained completely calm and asked, "Can you really sense the size of the remnant of Mount Buzhou? Then which remnant is bigger, the one in your hand or the one in mine?"

Lin Chen scoffed, "Of course ours is bigger. Only the smaller ones have been buried in the Boundary Sea for so many years."

Wei Xian chimed in, "That's true, yours are indeed smaller."

Ning Qi Qixian looked across at the other side.

Wei Xian had already put away the remains of the sacred mountain.

However, Ning Qi activated the Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain within the True Martial to sense the other party at close range.

At such close range, Ning Qi indeed sensed an even more immense aura.

This proves that the remnant of the divine mountain inside the other party's body is indeed larger than the one in his hand.

As he unleashed his power, Wei Xian sensed it and turned to look in a certain direction.

"So, the spirit world we just visited led to that place?"

In that instant when their energies converged, he discerned the location of the hidden True Martial Spirit World.

Strangely, when the two are used simultaneously, they seem to want to merge into one.

Furthermore, both of them looked in another direction, and at the same time they sensed an even more magnificent divine mountain aura rapidly approaching this place from the depths of the Boundary Sea.

Both of them frowned simultaneously.

Although their individual remnants of the divine mountain have not yet merged, they are already resonating with each other, allowing them to clearly sense the grandeur of the divine mountain behind them.

Mount Buzhou, which has been fragmented for countless millennia, is about to be restored to its original state.

Ning Qi suddenly asked, "What region of the original sacred mountain is the internal world of that fragment of your body located in?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xian's expression shifted.

Only those who possessed the remnants of the Divine Mountain understood these words. He said, "A large portion of the disciple area and the alchemy and weapon-refining area, what about yours?"

Ning Qi asked, "The area where immortal trees and herbs are planted."

After he finished speaking, both of them looked rather grim.

They exchanged information as if they were checking accounts, thus instantly piecing together the largest fragment.

After removing the planting area and most of the disciple area and alchemy and weapon-refining area, it is self-evident what areas are left on Mount Buzhou.

The largest fragment contains the true main body of Mount Buzhou!

In other words, the third party who has not yet appeared is the true Inheritance Mount Buzhou!

Ning Qi and Wei Xian realized this and both felt a sense of urgency.

"Since neither of us is willing to hand over the remains to the other, why don't we fight each other quickly and decide who gets the body?" Wei Xian suddenly suggested.

However, Lin Chen behind him said anxiously, "Brother Wei, how can you do this? What if the other party..."

Wei Xian glanced at him and interrupted him.

"Brother Lin, you don't believe me?"

"No."

Lin Chen immediately fell silent. He trusted Wei Xian completely, but he had acted rashly because it concerned the remains of the Divine Mountain.

He almost forgot the nickname of this man he could entrust his life to: Wei Xian = Danger!

Lin Chen saved Wei Xian, and as a result, his entire family was tragically killed in retaliation.

It was Wei Xian who led him to eradicate those cruel people from the root, and with ten, a hundred, or a thousand times the revenge, to exterminate all those connected to them by blood.

Only then did Lin Chen sense the danger and terror of this man!

This completely convinced Lin Chen of his abilities.

Of course, most of the time, Wei Xian is quite restrained, just like now, being reasonable and virtuous.

Lin Chen fell silent, which was taken as tacit agreement with Wei Xian's suggestion.

However, he had also prepared a contingency plan: if Brother Wei really lost to the other party, he would tear up the agreement no matter what.

Lin Chen was willing to do some dark things. Ever since his family was tragically killed, he was no longer the simple and trustworthy person he used to be!

Since making his suggestion, Wei Xian had been observing the expressions of the three people opposite him.

Ning Qi's aura always made him feel that Ning Qi was just a cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm, but the other two Golden Immortal opposite him were leading him, so Wei Xian was not sure if Ning Qi was hiding his true strength.

Now that he had made this suggestion, he found that neither of the two Golden Immortal on the other side intended to step forward, Wei Xian's heart sank slightly.

Sure enough, the young man seemed to be stronger than the two of them!

A sense of vigilance crept into Wei Xian's heart.

"How about it?"

Ning Qi looked at him calmly, "Deal!"

Ning Qi reached out one hand, pointing towards the direction of the True Martial Spirit World, and brought the Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain to him.

The next second, a mountain shadow broke through the Boundary Sea, shrinking continuously until it appeared in Ning Qi's hand.

Seeing this, even though they had confidence in Ning Qi, the Sea Ancestor and Holy Ancestor couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, not only has Wanzun Mountain become their residence, but it can also provide energy for the birth of immortals in the True Martial Spirit World. In the future, it will be the core area for Ning Qi to transform the True Martial Spirit World into a fairyland.

This bet is way too big!

Opposite him, Wei Xian narrowed his eyes and spat out the remnant of Mount Buzhou he was holding, which landed in his hand.

The two mountains, only a few feet apart, exuded an extremely strong suction force, as if trying to merge into one.

If Ning Qi and Wei Xian hadn't been so powerful, they probably wouldn't have been able to capture them at all.

Lin Chen suddenly said again:

"No, our Linglong Mountain is much larger than your crippled body. Even if we win, we'll be at a disadvantage. You'll have to increase the stakes."

"What I possess is the Immortal Herb Garden, which I have fully revived. Its value is equivalent to that of a Lesser Immortal Realm," Ning Qi sneered.

Wei Xian did not refute this.

Upon hearing that Ning Qi possessed the Immortal Forest of Herbs, he knew its value and knew that even if he wagered an even greater remnant of a divine mountain, he would not lose out.

Because the most valuable pills and artifacts left in his sacred mountain had been completely used up by him and Lin Chen, leaving only the methods for refining immortal pills and artifacts, as well as some materials.

The two of them were not proficient in this art, so naturally they could not match the remnant of the divine mountain in Ning Qi's hands.

"However, considering you renamed it Linglong Mountain, I'd like to hear what other conditions you'd like to add?"

Seeing that Wei Xian on the other side did not refute, Ning Qi suddenly spoke.

The two people had been extremely restrained since they appeared, and he didn't dislike them too much.

Upon hearing this, Wei Xian was taken aback, unsure of Ning Qi's meaning.

Wei Xian's focus was peculiar; he asked in surprise, "What name did you change the name of the mountain in your hand?"

He named it after his deceased confidante, thinking that only he would dare to do so, after all, Mount Buzhou was once so powerful, and changing its name would bring terrible consequences.

Therefore, when Ning Qi brought up this matter, Wei Xian thought he had met a kindred spirit.

Ning Qi said calmly, "Mount Wanzun!"

"..."

Wei Xian was quite disappointed.

Seeing that Ning Qi had given him a chance, Lin Chen focused on fulfilling the prerequisites.

After all, the young man opposite seemed arrogant and ignorant; perhaps he overestimated himself and agreed?

He naturally wanted to finish making the additions.

"There are no other conditions. We have been wandering the Boundary Sea for a thousand years and know the hardships of cultivators in this world. If you lose the remnants of the Divine Mountain, your strength will definitely decrease significantly. Why don't you join us then, along with the True Martial Spirit World from before?"

He said so much, but it's unclear whether he was after the resources of the True Martial Spirit World or Ning Qi and his group.

However, given the current scale of the True Martial Spirit World, it is indeed worthy of being coveted.

"What arrogance!"

The Holy Ancestor couldn't help but rebuke him.

He has always liked people who know their limits and is extremely disgusted by those who are rude and greedy.

Wei Xian narrowed his eyes as well.

It's not his style to devour a respectable opponent completely and leave them no way out.

He didn't say much. To him, Lin Chen was like family, and besides, he owed him a lot.

After hearing Lin Chen's suggestion, Ning Qi also spoke up, "What if I agree to the conditions you just mentioned?"

"What?" Lin Chen thought he had misheard.

Is this guy really that arrogant?

Wei Xian's brow furrowed even deeper; he seemed to understand what Ning Qi was about to say.

"I can agree to your terms, but you'll have to increase your bets. If I win, both of you will join us. How about it?"

The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor looked at Ning Qi.

Is this a gamble where you're betting everything? That's a huge risk!

However, they still didn't say anything. Along the way, they witnessed the many miracles created by Ning Qi.

Wei Xian's grey immortal eyes swept over Ning Qi and the other two once more.

He suddenly laughed, "Alright, I'll gamble with you this once!"

After Wei Xian finished speaking, he immediately raised his right hand high, making a vow gesture, pointing it straight up into the sky.

"I, Wei Xian, have made a bet based on an immortal oath: if I lose to the other party, I will hand over Linglong Mountain and join their side."

Everyone was shocked to see him make a vow to become an immortal.

The oath of immortals is a vow of the Great Dao passed down from High Antiquity Inheritance.

These are the rules established by the Immortal Realm. Anyone who swears an oath to uphold them will be barred from entering the Immortal Gate and thus from becoming an immortal and stepping into the Immortal Realm!

If someone has already become an immortal, their immortal status will be revoked, their Immortal Power will be extracted, and they will be completely banished to the mortal realm.

Although it may not sound like a solemn oath, for those who aspire to become immortals, or those who have already become immortals, it is more painful than killing them.

This is tantamount to extinguishing their path forward, extinguishing their future and hope, and condemning them to a life of eternal damnation in the lower realms!
