14: Divine Stone Pavilion, Waste Stone Ancestor

Chapter 14: Shenshi Pavilion, Old Ancestor of Waste Stones

In the endless river of time in the Tianxuan World, the number of times Immortal Rank Secret Arts have appeared is very few, even the Cloud Heaven Holy Land doesn't possess such Secret Arts.

“This Great Dao Supreme Bone is of no low grade; among Supreme Bones, it’s actually Peerless Grade!”

A Supreme Bone is also a top-tier Physique, and along with his Innate Dao Body, it is hailed as one of the strongest Physiques in the world.

Prodigies with such a Physique are born with Divine Abilities, which are extremely compatible with their own being and possess immense power, no less than Emperor Rank Secret Arts.

It is precisely because of this that the Supreme Bone is called one of the strongest Physiques in the world.

However, the Great Dao Supreme Bone, within the scope of Supreme Bones, is absolutely the top-tier existence, not comparable to ordinary Supreme Bones.

“It’s truly a bit of a pity, the next plot will have to wait another two or three months!”

“And this plot’s impact isn’t as significant as the Heavenly Firmament Sect Secret Realm, so the rewards gained might not be as great as this time.”

Fang Chen said with regret in his heart.

After the Heavenly Firmament Sect Secret Realm, the Holy Land Competition will begin.

The Holy Land Competition is an extremely important plot, where Xiao Yunting will shine brilliantly, completely crushing all Inner Sect Disciples and firmly establishing himself in the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

He will even cause many to feel that Xiao Yunting is no worse than Fang Chen through this Holy Land Competition, leading to Fang Chen’s position as Saint being gradually questioned.

Xiao Yunting also became known as one of the top Prodigies in the Eastern God Domain through this competition.

“I wonder if Xiao Yunting will be able to make a name for himself in the upcoming Holy Land Competition?”

“However, even if he can make a name for himself, it has nothing to do with me.”

“If he really tries to stand out, I don’t mind slapping him to the ground to make him sober up.”

Compared to the original plot, the current Fang Chen is much stronger.

No matter how much of a Prodigy Xiao Yunting is, he is not worth mentioning in front of him, completely like an ant.

Moreover, the later it gets, the greater the gap between Xiao Yunting and Fang Chen, until finally Xiao Yunting can only look up to him.

Furthermore, after Fang Chen embraced his laid-back attitude, Xiao Yunting lost many opportunities to temper himself in the early stages, leading to his subsequent strength being insufficient to follow the original plot.

Without strength, he couldn’t gain enough tempering in the Heavenly Firmament Sect Secret Realm, nor could he obtain the corresponding Opportunities, preventing a significant increase in his strength.

This also led to Xiao Yunting finding it difficult to shine brilliantly in the Holy Land Competition three months later, as he did in the original plot.

Naturally, he wouldn’t be able to make a name for himself.

In fact, all of these things are interconnected.

“What does any of this have to do with me?”

“I’m going to continue being laid-back!”

Fang Chen said calmly in his heart.

As the saying goes, being laid-back for a while is good, being laid-back forever is always good!

Even if Xiao Yunting obtains more Opportunities, it will be difficult for him to surpass Fang Chen in the future.

Unless he gets a Heaven-Defying Great Opportunity, something that can change his destiny.

He has already obtained a Heaven-Defying Golden Finger like the Old Ancestor of the Ring, so what other Heaven-Defying Great Opportunities could he hope for?

“I’ve been on Holy Spirit Peak for so long, it’s time to go out and move around.”

Fang Chen stood up, stretched his body, and muttered to himself.

Ever since his Transmigration to the Tianxuan World, he had always stayed on Holy Spirit Peak and had never gone out.

Since he had come to this world, he naturally wanted to see its magnificent landscapes and experience its local customs.

Therefore, Fang Chen didn’t plan to continue being laid-back on Holy Spirit Peak.

After all, the next plot wouldn’t begin for another three months.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen decided to go for a walk.

Tianlan Prefecture.

This place is located at the edge where the Eastern God Domain and the Southern Dian Domain converge, making it a very special area.

Here, people of different races can be seen.

Because it is a border area, Tianlan Prefecture is very chaotic, and battles often occur.

If one does not possess sufficient strength, few people dare to come here.

Wanling City, this is the largest city in Tianlan Prefecture.

This city is famous throughout the world for its stone gambling, and it is quite well-known even in the Tianxuan World.

If you want to gamble on stones, this is the place to be.

When Fang Chen read the original novel, he was always curious about the stone gambling in Wanling City.

Since he had Transmigrated here, he naturally wanted to come and see it.

The fun of stone gambling lies in the fact that with one cut, one can either become rich overnight or lose everything.

Fang Chen also wanted to try this.

The streets of Wanling City were bustling, with people of many races walking about.

Even some of the Yao Race could be seen everywhere.

Fang Chen concealed his Aura and walked on the main street, looking at the surrounding scenery with great curiosity.

It had been a month since he Transmigrated to this world, and he had always been on Holy Spirit Peak.

After about an incense stick’s worth of time, Fang Chen arrived in front of a magnificent building.

Shenshi Pavilion!

These three characters were carved onto a giant stone at the entrance, containing a trace of Dao rhyme, indicating that it was carved by a powerful expert.

Fang Chen walked inside, and what greeted his eyes was a huge square, where many Divine Stones were placed.

These Divine Stones were all bound by a power, making it impossible for Divine Sense to penetrate them.

If Divine Sense could penetrate them, then the fun of stone gambling would be lost.

“This Divine Stone is extremely good, I think it can yield Divine Gold!”

“What’s the use of Divine Gold? It’s still a waste stone!”

“How is that possible? My judgment has never been wrong. I’ve observed stones in Wanling City for hundreds of years and have never failed.”

“No, no, no, please don’t say that. I know your title, Old Ancestor of Waste Stones. Out of ten Divine Stones, nine have something, but you always choose the one that doesn’t.”

“Haha, Old Ancestor of Waste Stones, why are you out here tricking people again?”

A burst of laughter erupted from the surroundings.

A grey-robed old man’s face was flushed red, as he continuously refuted the words of the people around him.

“What do you know? This is just because I disdain to choose those Divine Stones; those Divine Stones have nothing inside.”

“Old Ancestor of Waste Stones, I bet these Divine Stones aren’t as stubborn as your mouth!”

Everyone laughed.

Old Ancestor of Waste Stones!

He was a very famous person in Wanling City. Over hundreds of years, he had bought countless Divine Stones, but only a handful yielded good things.

His most glorious record was that out of ten Divine Stones, nine contained treasures, yet he precisely chose the one waste stone.

He even grandiosely claimed that choosing a Divine Stone with a treasure was nothing special; selecting the waste stone was the true skill.

Thus, this is how the Old Ancestor of Waste Stones got his name, and he was also known as the Old Ancestor of Stubborn Mouths.

Fang Chen walked over and stood to the side, watching the spectacle. He was quite familiar with this Old Ancestor of Waste Stones.

In the original novel, the identity of this Old Ancestor of Waste Stones was extremely mysterious, and it was never revealed until the end of the novel.

At that time, many readers speculated that this Old Ancestor of Waste Stones might be a hidden Old Monster; otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many descriptions.

However, until the end of the novel, the identity of this Old Ancestor of Waste Stones was never revealed.

Fang Chen, however, felt that this Old Ancestor of Waste Stones probably had no special identity; if he did, it would have been revealed long ago.

Of course, it could also be the author’s delusion, digging too many holes and not knowing how to fill them.

“Moonlight Hall Saintess Hua Mengying is here!”

“And the Snow Clan Prodigy Xue Yunxiao is also here!”

“I heard that the Snow Clan and Moonlight Hall have a collaboration. These two Prodigies being together seems to confirm the rumors.”
