From Covering the Sky, I Became a Transcendent

Chapter 100 Meeting Duan De Again
Zitiandu is one of the ten ancient cities in the central area of ​​Donghuang. It has existed for a long time and has experienced dark turmoil, leaving behind various legends. There are some powerful forces in this area.

For example, the Feng family, the oldest family in the East Wilderness, is based here, as well as other forces such as the Ziwei Sect.

The temple that came into being this time is just outside the ancient city of Zitiandu. It is very mysterious and suddenly appeared on a full moon day.

Upon hearing the news, several nearby holy places rushed there immediately, blocked the information, and wanted to join forces to break in, but they ended up in failure.

Later, various powerful underworld forces also learned about it and came here one after another, but they have not yet penetrated deep into the temple because this temple is so extraordinary that it seems that only imperial soldiers can be used to break in.

But using the imperial soldiers is no small matter. It takes a lot of time and requires applying and worshipping at respective ancestral temples. In addition, the various holy places are wary of each other, so it is difficult to reach cooperation for the time being.

Tianxuan Holy Land, as the most holy land in the Central Region, was very opposed to other forces coming here, and so was the local Feng family.

Zitiandu is a huge city famous throughout the world, and is in no way inferior to those ancient cities in Ziwei Divine Continent.

When Si Chen came here, he suddenly remembered that there was a branch of the ancient royal family called Shenling Valley, and its young master's name was also Zi Tiandu. What a coincidence.

He wandered around the city. The streets were bustling with people coming and going. Si Chen discovered that all the major holy places and noble families had opened gambling stone shops in this ancient city.

Although the scale of the stone archway here is not as large as the one in the Holy City of the Northern Territory, it is still not small.

The gambling stone industry is extremely prosperous in Beidou.

The stones produced from the source mine are very special. Neither divine power nor divine consciousness can explore their interior. Only by truly cutting them open can you know what is inside, so it is even more exciting.

When Si Chen passed by a stone archway, he saw a familiar figure. He was stunned, then walked in with a smile on his face.

This is the Feng family's Stone Workshop, which has a total of twenty-four floors and covers a vast area with beautiful scenery. The fresh scent of earth mixed with a hint of floral fragrance comes towards you.

There are many exotic flowers and plants planted here, and there is a slowly flowing stream. Piles of stones have become part of the garden landscape. It does not look monotonous and does not look like a place for cutting stones, but rather like a garden.

Those who come here to cut stones are naturally of extraordinary status. They are either elders of holy places or guardians of major religions, or their descendants and disciples. These people are very interested in gambling on stones and often appear here.

A man dressed as a Taoist priest was walking in the garden, picking and choosing stones. He looked like he really deserved a beating.

This man was probably in his thirties, with a bloated figure and looked very fat, with a ruddy complexion. He was wearing a Taoist robe and had a smiling face.

Duan De picked out more than a dozen pieces, but was not satisfied with any of them. Then his eyes lit up when he saw a black jade-colored stone. It was very extraordinary, and in his opinion, there might be something rare inside.

He walked over quickly, but at this moment another figure appeared, waved his hand, and swept away the stone.

"Who stole my stones?" Duan De was a little annoyed.

But he found that the person in front of him seemed familiar, a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a handsome face, straight features, and looking at him with a smile.

It was Si Chen. Duan De was also stunned. He didn't expect to see him here. It had been a long time since they parted ways with Ziwei.

He learned the news that the Son of God was going to Beidou when he visited the Ancient Sun Sect.

"Wulian Tianzun, fellow Taoist, it's been a long time since we last met." Duan De smiled at first, but then his expression changed.

"Why are you trying to steal my stones?"

"I'm afraid you'll suffer a loss. There's nothing in this stone." Si Chen looked at Duan De and felt a little emotional. The two of them were really destined to meet each other in the stone workshop.

This fat guy's cultivation speed is not slow. He has already reached the Dragon Transformation Stage, and his foundation is solid, no worse than that of the geniuses in Beidou.

Also, wasn't this fat guy being hunted by people from the Yaoguang Holy Land in the Southern Region? How come he ended up in the ancient city of Zitiandu in the blink of an eye?

Looking at his appearance, his face was shiny and moisturized. It was obvious that Yaoguang's encirclement had no effect on him at all.

If the people of Yaoguang knew about this, they would be shocked and even more angry. "Yes, fellow Daoist, you have the same idea as me." Duan De looked at the stone and used the pupil technique to see that there was indeed nothing inside.

Then he suddenly realized how Si Chen knew this, and he was a little surprised: "Have you mastered the source technique, or the sky eye?"

"Yes."

"How about betting with me?" Duan De said impatiently as Si Chen just nodded.

He has always been at a disadvantage when being with this kid, so he wants to win once.

I’m sure I can’t win in a fight, so I’ll just gamble on stones.

Si Chen smiled and asked, "Master, do you have enough energy?"

"Of course." The fat Taoist priest is now completely different from before and is very wealthy.

"One round will decide the winner, and you can only choose one piece. How about that?" Si Chen had wanted to teach Duan De a lesson a long time ago, and this time he took the initiative to offer it.

"Wulian Tianzun, of course you can. How much do you want to bet?" Duan De asked with shining eyes. He knew the wealth of this Son of God.

Si Chen raised a hand: "Five million."

"Well, okay..." Duan De hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Five million jin of source was not a small amount for him. This was the price of the king-level material.

As for saint-level materials, they would cost more than 10 million jin, and they are in short supply.

Seeing Duan De agreed so quickly, Si Chen was a little surprised. It seemed that this fat guy had indeed become rich.

The two walked all the way to the 24th floor of the stone archway, which was a huge garden with a gurgling stream, a quaint stone bridge across the sky, and mottled bluestone slabs engraved with traces of time, as well as unique pavilions and towers.

The stones are placed in this garden, which is filled with spiritual energy. It looks like the sacred land of various holy places, making people feel like they have walked into a fairyland.

Because of what happened at Ziwei Stone Workshop last time, the two did not plan to make their bet on the stones public this time. They would just choose their own pieces and then compare the results.

They didn't want to be watched by a group of people again, especially those white-haired old men.

Even so, the sight of people selecting stones still attracted some attention. Watching the fun is human nature, and monks are no exception.

This is the last floor of the stone workshop, where there are many rare stones on display, and they are quite expensive.

The stones in the Central Region are definitely not as good as those in the Northern Region, but they are not too bad either. Some of them also come from the vicinity of the Taichu Ancient Mine.

The two began to choose, and because they could only choose one piece, they were very cautious.

The price of the strange stones here is not cheap, all of them are more than 100,000 jin, but for the two people now, this is already a small number.

With the Chaos Sky Eye, Si Chen can see through 99% of the stones here. It is so easy.

Ordinary divine sources, ten thousand year old elixir, silver divine iron, incomplete divine weapons of the king...

There aren't many rare things in this stone archway. After all, this place is not one of the top stone gardens in the Holy City.

It is also related to Si Chen's current vision. After obtaining the Chaos Divine Land, in his eyes, only saint-level materials have some value.

When Duan De was selecting, he glanced at Si Chen and was secretly surprised. This boy really had a third eye, and it was extraordinary.
