"Come on, come on, place your bets! Who will win the Double Stone Battle? Let's wait and see!"
In the distance, two old fellows kept hawking their bets, looking thoroughly shifty. They were none other than Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jingbi. Even at this great battle in the Void God Realm, they had started up their betting racket again, leaving many people dumbfounded.
"Those two old crooks know nothing but swindling and cheating!" someone complained, pointing at Bird Grandpa and Grandpa Jingbi.
"Rise!"
With a shout, the Domain Envoy led Shi Hao and Shi Yi up into the sky, then stepped onto a golden passage. Lotus flowers drifted down on either side of the path, and sweet springs burbled, lending it an incomparably sacred air.
The golden road stretched all the way beyond the heavens, mysterious and holy, filling everyone with longing. Clearly, it led to the Sky Battlefield.
Whoosh!
The sound of air being pierced rang out. Many people rode their treasures into the sky, heading upward. They were all exceptionally powerful cultivators from the great sects.
This Golden Light Avenue seemed to lead to the God Realm. Shi Hao was intensely curious. Following beside the Domain Envoy, he looked this way and that, occasionally running to the edge of the road to pluck a lotus or tap the bones laid into the ground with array patterns. He was plainly itching to act.
The Domain Envoy's mouth twitched. Clearly, he knew of Shi Hao's "exploits."
Even now, Shi Hao was still coveting the Void God Realm's treasures. The Domain Envoy's forehead darkened with exasperation. He began to wonder whether this fellow had really come for the showdown.
Was he sure Shi Hao had not come to scout the place first, so he could return later and "strike it rich"?
