The sky grew quiet. The Outer Thirty-Three Heavens felt as though they lay amid the stars. Though sunlight still shone, after the Heavenly Dao spoke, the light inside the Jade Void Palace began to dim naturally.
The excitement faded from many faces, yet their hearts began beating faster.
The old hands looked calm, but their clenched fists betrayed their feelings. Nervousness and excitement mingled within them. The newcomers had clearly never seen much of the world; the moment the scene changed, it captured their attention. Small clusters of light appeared above the hall.
There seemed to be something inside each cluster. Some looked unremarkable, some glittered, and others radiated waves of oppressive power.
Good stuff! Even Chef Qin, who was still grumbling and swearing, was drawn to the strange spectacle above and involuntarily raised his head.
Everyone in the hall began breathing faster, for many had recognized the things inside.
"Look! Dragon Gallbladder Herb and Glazed Gold! Those are top-grade immortal herbs and materials!" A relatively new immortal stared dumbly. The Heavenly Court had these treasures too, but unfortunately, they weren't his. Getting permission to use them was no simple matter.
"That's nothing. Look at the top tier. There are so many Wish Stones!"
"What are Wish Stones?" asked an immortal attending for the first time. "Are they even more precious than those supreme-grade materials and immortal herbs?"
The Barefoot Immortal shook his head. "Of course. Why else would they be on the very top tier?"
"Why? If these stones are so precious, why are there more of them than anything else?" Another immortal, a craftsman, was puzzled. He had come thanks to Big Chef's guidance. In plain terms, he was a nobody from the bottom and didn't know much.
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head. They were still too young.
