Guanyin and Ksitigarbha stepped forward nervously. The Buddhist School's side buzzed with excitement, and the other two great Bodhisattvas and the Eighteen Arhats began chanting softly.
"Haotian Tower, Haotian Tower, Haotian Tower!" They seemed to be cheering the pair on, hoping everyone's vow power would bring them good luck. If either of them won it, they would hit the jackpot.
Primordial Lord glanced over without a word. Guanyin and Ksitigarbha were popular. As soon as they stepped up, plenty of others joined the cheering. The Yan-Huang people were like that: they loved a spectacle, and some spectators got so caught up that they felt as though they were taking part themselves. So once the Buddhist School started chanting, many others joined in.
"Haotian Tower, Haotian Tower!" A tremendous wave of sound surged through the entire Jade Void Palace.
After the earlier series of draws, most people had used up their chances. If they couldn't win it themselves, why not hope someone else did? It was like a car raffle. Spectators who had run out of chances didn't want the organizers to keep the prize either. Wasn't the whole point of putting up a prize for someone to win it? Otherwise, what was the point?
With that mindset, more than half the immortals were practically red-eyed with excitement. It didn't matter if they couldn't win, as long as someone did and they could share a little of that good fortune. Wave after wave of cheers rang out as countless people encouraged the two newly elevated Buddhas. Even Monkey was waving his arms and dancing around, as though he were the one drawing.
The spinning lasted only a moment. Guanyin shook her head and stepped down.
Taiyi felt a little disappointed too as he announced the prize. "One Three-Refined Golden Core!"
