The Human Emperor's Bet with Taiyi Zhenren

"Where did this brat come from? How dare he spout such nonsense in front of this humble Daoist priest?"

"Based on my numerous calculations and the influence of cause and effect, it is clear that the third son of the Li family is destined to be my disciple."

"And where did you come from? How dare you try to steal my disciple?"

"Get out of here quickly, lest you displease this humble Daoist and get a beating for no reason!"

Hearing this, Ye Xuan chuckled.

He didn't harbor much ill will towards this so-called Taiyi Zhenren.

I just felt that the old man was a bit silly.

"That's not quite right. It's a matter of first come, first served. I was destined to meet the third son of the Li family first. If I hadn't come, then it would have been the Daoist's turn."

"If you don't believe me, you can always try to divine it again!"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren became even more enraged.

This kid is clearly just fooling himself.

Can things like cause and effect, and fate, really be divided into first come, first served?

"You ignorant brat, how dare you try to fob me off with such words? You are utterly ignorant! How dare you speak of cause and effect in front of me? It's a joke!"

Ye Xuan looked at the arrogant Taiyi Zhenren and couldn't help but smile.

"If you don't believe me, Daoist Master, we can make a bet. Let's see whether this third son of the Li family is destined for you or for me. What do you think, Daoist Master?"

Seeing the smile on Ye Xuan's face, Taiyi Zhenren became even angrier.

"You want to gamble with me again? Interesting. Since you put it that way, I'll grant your wish. Tell me, what do you want to gamble?"

Upon hearing that Taiyi Zhenren had taken the bait, Ye Xuan couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile.

"I've heard that the Daoist priest possesses a magical treasure called the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover."

"Why don't you, Daoist priest, use the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover as a wager?"

Taiyi Zhenren was also taken aback by these words. Was the other party targeting his Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover?

Ye Xuan had indeed set his sights on this magical artifact.

This magical artifact is one of the most famous magical artifacts of the Taiyi Zhenren.

Legend has it that nine flames are nurtured within the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover.

Each spark can transform into a fire dragon.

When all nine dragons emerge, it signifies the full power of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover.

Historically, this magical artifact even burned the Loose Immortal Shi Ji Niangniang of the Interception Sect to death.

Later, during the Great War of the Investiture of the Gods, when they fought the Ten Absolute Arrays Formations.

Then, using the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, they burned Sun Liang Liangtianjun, the master of the "Blood Transformation Formation," to death.

Both instances demonstrated the power of this magical artifact.

Later, Taiyi Zhenren lent this magical artifact to Nezha.

Nezha even used this magic weapon to kill Ma Zhong on the battlefield.

It can be said to be a powerful and effective weapon in battle.

Although it is an acquired Postnatal Dharma Treasure, its power is clearly quite formidable.

Taiyi Zhenren was also taken aback.

This little brat actually asked for my Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover right off the bat.

That's utterly nonsensical.

"What kind of magic weapon can you, you brat, possibly come up with?"

"You dare to gamble with my Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover? Do you even know the power of my Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover?"

Ye Xuan chuckled.

He flipped his right hand over.

A purple embroidery needle appeared in his hand.

This embroidery needle is nothing other than...

It is the Sea-Spanning Purple Gold Beam the South Sea.

Of the four top-grade merit -Merit Spiritual Treasure, one has already been given away.

I still have three items in hand.

So he just randomly picked one out.

When Taiyi Zhenren looked closely, his eyes lit up.

He clearly knows his stuff.

This embroidery needle exudes a purple aura, clearly indicating it is no ordinary object.

In particular, this embroidery needle even possessed a remarkably strong aura of merit.

"This is---------"

"This is the magical artifact used to suppress the South Sea? How did it end up in your hands?"

"Could you be from the South Sea?"

Taiyi Zhenren was clearly quite knowledgeable, and he immediately recognized the origin of this magical artifact.

They also understood the power of this magical artifact.

If this magical artifact were to bet against his own Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, it seems he would actually have the advantage.

Thinking of this, Taiyi Zhenren revealed a cold smile.

Isn't this brat handing over a magic weapon to me?

I clearly felt guided by cause and effect, which is why I came here.

This young boy insisted that the three sons of the Li family were destined to be with him; it was utterly ridiculous.

"Alright, you little brat, since you've brought out this magic weapon, then the bet is settled. I'm taking this magic weapon."

"Next, I will manifest the power of cause and effect to show you who the third son of the Li family is truly destined to be with."

Some powerful beings can indeed manifest the power of cause and effect through magic.

Taiyi Zhenren possessed such abilities.

He tucked the whisk in his hand behind his back.

He then began to cast his spell.

One hand is shaped like an orchid asking the heavens, while the other hand is shaped like an orchid asking its own heart.

One hand asks the heavens, the other asks the heart.

He then closed his eyes and began chanting incantations.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan was also quite interested.

Because he doesn't have such means.

It is quite rare, of course.

Among the Twelve Golden Immortals, Taiyi Zhenren was considered a rather outstanding figure.

Having such methods is obviously not surprising.

Su Daji seemed somewhat worried and couldn't help but secretly tug at Ye Xuan's sleeve.

Su Daji naturally knew Taiyi Zhenren, after all, Taiyi Zhenren's reputation was particularly renowned throughout the Primordial World.

Now His Majesty the Human Emperor is gambling with the Taiyi Zhenren.

There's no guarantee you'll win the bet.

She certainly didn't want His Human Emperor to lose such a precious treasure for nothing.

Ye Xuan chuckled and secretly took Daji's hand.

Upon seeing this, Su Daji's cheeks flushed red.

After a short while, Taiyi Zhenren's method of communicating with the power of cause and effect finally came to an end.

With her right hand, she pointed her orchid finger towards the sky, and suddenly pointed it upwards.

With her left hand, she made a delicate, orchid-like gesture, pointing directly at her own body.

Then two faint golden lights began to flicker in the air.

This is the method of Taiyi Zhenren.

These golden rays actually represent the power of cause and effect.

If these two golden lights merge into one, it would mean that the two people do indeed have a causal relationship.

If the two golden lights do not merge together, it means that there is no causal relationship between the two of them.

The power of cause and effect is formless and without appearance.

However, Taiyi Zhenren was able to demonstrate his abilities, which shows that he does Taiyi Zhenren some skill.

The two golden forces of cause and effect crisscrossed in the air.

But they never truly blended together.

One of the streaks circled around and landed directly on Ye Xuan.

Upon seeing this, Taiyi Zhenren's expression changed drastically.

This means that he has no karmic connection with the third son of the Li family.

This also means that he was not destined to be with the third son of the Li family.

It turned out that the one with whom we were truly destined to be together was this young boy.

How could this not cause Taiyi Zhenren's expression to change drastically?

He clearly found his way here because he sensed cause and effect.

Why has the force of causality changed?

Does the force of cause and effect truly differentiate between those that come first and those that don't?

Am I merely a preparatory step for this mere child?

How could this not infuriate Taiyi Zhenren?

Their faces turned somewhat pale.

He clearly had the deepest connection with the third son of the Li family.

His opportunities were even more profound than those of his parents and siblings.

But now, such a drastic change has occurred?
