Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 240 Battle
The news of Ye Fan gambling on stones with the heir of a family specializing in Origin Arts spread quickly.

Ye Fan's source techniques are evident to all. When he visited the Ji family, he presented them with five stones that he had selected himself. Moreover, according to rumors, one of the stones contained divine source.

Needless to say, those families specializing in Origin Arts have a long history and their own legends in the Northern Region.

The fact that a descendant of a family specializing in Origin Arts was gambling on stones with Ye Fan was enough to attract a lot of attention.

Once the specific time for jade gambling was announced, many people eagerly awaited it.

Meanwhile, the stone archways of the major holy sites and aristocratic families were filled with worry.

They were all worried that their stone archway would be chosen.

While this may enhance their reputation, it can also lead to significant losses.

Because whether it's the heir of the Source Arts family or Ye Fan, their Source Arts skills must be quite good. After a few rounds of gambling on stones, they would pick out most of the valuable stones in their stone workshop.

Finding something good to cut is one thing, but watching someone else take away the good stuff from their own stone is also a loss for them.

On the other hand, there are the consequences of gambling on stones.

After the gambling was over, everyone knew that the valuable stones in the stone workshop had probably been picked up by those people, so although it became famous for a short time, no one would come to visit.

Therefore, all the major holy lands and noble families were worried, fearing that they would be chosen to build their own stone archway.

The only family that shouldn't be too worried is the Ji family.

They had just reconciled with Ye Fan, so this opportunity to take advantage of him was definitely not going to fall into their laps.

In fact, some people are also relieved that they have reconciled with Ye Fan, and that their relationship has changed from hostility to friendship.

Otherwise, Ye Fan would definitely come after the Ji family for such a good opportunity to take advantage of them, and the Ji family would suffer huge losses.

However, before the official jade gambling began, no one had decided which stone shop to go to.

“I bet those holy land families are trembling with fear right now, worried that we’ll choose them,” Black Emperor said with a chuckle.

How could he not guess what others were thinking?
However, it was precisely because he instructed Ye Fan not to reveal in advance which stone workshop they were going to that he wanted to see those holy land families looking worried.

Finally, the day before the jade gambling was to begin, they decided which stone shop they would go to.

Despite opposition, Ye Fan chose the Dao Yi Holy Land.

His strong opposition refers to his rejection of the Black Emperor's and his specially created clone's proposal, and his decision not to choose the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

"Kid, you really don't know what you're missing! That's the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, the most powerful physique in history! Let me put it this way, if someone with an Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo could actually be born and cultivate the Beginningless Scripture, then among those of the same realm, there would be at least an 80... 70... well, fifty percent chance of defeating Wang Teng!"

Black Emperor said that he originally wanted to say there was an 80% chance, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that according to those rumors, defeating Wang Teng really didn't have much to do with physical constitution.

In his mind, only the Great Emperor Wushi might be able to defeat Wang Teng at the same level. Even if others had the same physique as the Great Emperor, it would be difficult for them to suppress Wang Teng.

"A 50% chance?" Ye Fan looked at Black Emperor with a puzzled expression.

He knew how powerful Wang Teng was. If he had a 50% chance of defeating Wang Teng, then his apparent strength definitely surpassed that of the Ji family's divine body and the so-called Yao Guang Holy Son.

"Hahaha, that's about right..." Black Emperor said with a chuckle.

Actually, he himself didn't know the answer.

Because Wang Teng's strength is rumored to be so great that even a single ability to reverse time and space is something that no one at the same level can defeat.

"Fine, never mind." Ye Fan rolled his eyes; he knew this black dog was unreliable.

However, the final location for the jade gambling was still confirmed: not the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, but the Dao Yi Sacred Land. When this location was revealed, the stone workshops of the other sacred land families breathed a sigh of relief, for they had escaped a calamity.

However, the people of Dao Yi Holy Land almost collapsed.

Their stone workshop was chosen as a gambling site for jade, so it's easy to imagine that they would suffer huge losses in all aspects.

However, both Ye Fan and the successor of the Yuanshu family have already determined the location and announced it. If the stone workshop of Dao Yi Holy Land chooses to close or take other actions at this time, their reputation will be ruined. At that time, not only will they not be able to continue to open their doors to welcome guests, but their backbone will probably be broken.

Therefore, the people of Dao Yi Holy Land were on the verge of collapse.

But as that day arrived, they were still forced to put on a smiling face and greet guests from all directions.

The news of Ye Fan gambling on stones with the heir of the Yuanshu family had already spread, so many people were waiting in front of the stone workshop of Dao Yi Holy Land early that day, ready to witness this stone gambling battle between the younger generation.

Some old guys even showed up, including the supreme elders of holy land families.

Some even concealed their faces, yet possessed an exceptionally powerful aura, causing even the supreme elders of the holy land families to be wary and dare not approach too closely.

Some speculate that those people might be powerful beings who are unwilling to reveal their true identities.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

The Azure Dragon King and the Peacock King have both arrived.

Furthermore, they also sensed the presence of other powerful beings.

Within the same realm, as long as they don't deliberately conceal it, they can still sense each other's aura.

Before the main figures even arrived, they had already flooded into Dao Yi Stone Archway.

The person in charge of the Dao Yi Holy Land Stone Archway looked grim; he wanted to cry but couldn't, so he forced a smile to welcome everyone.

People from other holy families deeply empathized with this expression.

If they hadn't chosen the Dao Yi Holy Land, but instead their own Holy Land Family, they probably would have made the same pained expression right now.

Just before noon, Ye Fan and the heir of the Yuanshu family finally arrived.

But no one complained that they were late; instead, they made way for the young people to go in.

Besides Ye Fan and the heirs of the Source Arts family, there were also some other powerful young talents who came.

For example, Ji Haoyue, the divine body of the Ji family, brought Ji Ziyue to the scene and stood on Ye Fan's side, distancing himself from the people of the Origin Arts family.

It was obvious that he came to support his good friend Wang Teng.

Although Wang Teng did not participate, it did not prevent him from expressing his attitude.

Besides him, people from the Yao Guang Holy Land also came.

The holy son and daughter of the Holy Land of Yaoguang personally arrived.

However, when it came to choosing where to stand, they hesitated, seemingly due to disagreements.

In the end, it was the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang who made the first move. She came to Wang Teng's side, smiled at him, and nodded slightly.

Wang Teng responded with a smile, then looked at the Holy Son of Yao Guang, his smile exceptionally bright.
