“The odds are, one to one.”

A wager?

Standing behind him, the elder first froze, then burst into uproarious laughter.

“Really a shrewd fellow.”

With a shift in his figure, he had already appeared above the dueling arena.

The moment he appeared, it was as if a dragon-shaped twister flashed and swept over the arena.

“Gentlemen, I am Shangguan Qing.”

With that statement, the entire plaza fell silent.

Shangguan Qing, a Great Elder of the Shangguan Family among the seven divine realm families, a Universe-level powerhouse, truly a powerful being who controlled his domain.

Such a character, appearing in Heavenly Secret City?

What was he here for?

“Brother Shangguan,” Xun Chu Yun cupped his hands in greeting with a smile on his face, “I didn’t expect such a minor duel to draw Brother Shangguan himself.”

Even though Xun Chu Yun was a top figure in the Xun Family, he was still a far cry from Shangguan Qing.

This was a matter handler of the Top Three Families, a character whose cultivation abilities reached the heaven realm.

“The wager initiated by Daoist Chun Yun can indeed be considered a grand event,” laughed Shangguan Qing lightly, turning his head to look toward the stage.

“A duel between Brother Zheng and Brother Luo, such an event is rare to witness even in tens of thousands of years.”

“Since Shangguan Qing has come, I must serve as a witness.”

With that, he waved his hand and the entire sky turned into shades of green and white.

“Shangguan Qing here sets up a wager, the left side for those supporting Brother Zheng, the right side for those supporting Brother Luo.”

“No matter what you all bet on, it’s a one to one payout.”

His face bore a smile, as well as the absolute confidence that only a matter handler of the Top Three Families would dare possess.

No matter what was bet, it was a one to one payout.

His involvement was not about caring for money, as he naturally wanted to be part of such grand events.

If anyone else at this moment had spoken thus, the blacksmiths in Heavenly Secret City below would have spat in his face.

But standing there now was one of the finest among the divine realm families.

In the entire divine realm, only such a person would have the credentials to make such a statement.

“Hehe, then Yu Zhen would like to join the fun and support Daoist Luo,” Yu Zhen laughed, tossing out a Primordial-level Battle Puppet with his hand.

Xun Chu Yun’s expression remained unchanged as he flicked his wrist, sending out five Primordial Battle Puppets to the side supporting Zheng Yaoyang.

Indeed, from the seven great clans, such boldness was astonishing.

The others looked at each other and threw out various spiritual materials, Puppet Fighters, and combat weapons.

No need to worry about not getting the winnings; if even the Shangguan Family couldn’t secure the payout, then the divine realm wouldn’t be called the divine realm.

The reason for betting on this match was that those standing on stage were Zheng Yaoyang and Luo the Madman!

Didn’t you see Master Zhu Yuan and Master Yun Ji, and Master Mingtong throw out several half-step Universe-level treasures?

In just a moment, both sides had piled on various treasures impossible to settle with origin coins.

Their worth, incalculable.

Just the Primordial-level treasures numbered over a thousand.

The amount on both sides was roughly equal.

However, it was apparent that the side supporting Zheng Yaoyang was slightly larger.

Though Luo Shentong was a Heaven’s Secret City native, his mad and arrogant nature meant that in most people’s eyes, he probably couldn’t match Zheng Yaoyang, a figure of significant capability.

Yet both had their own supporters who gambled with various treasures.

For a time, on both sides of the sky, spiritual light dazzled.

On stage, the two beings capable of refining weapons were not affected by the commotion.

In front of Zheng Yaoyang, flames rose up, and within the purple firelight, a hint of Great Spiritual light shone through.

In Han Muye’s view, Zheng Yaoyang’s artifact refining talent was indeed impressive.

Initially, with only a single demonstration within the Purple Sun Cauldron, he had a comprehension of controlling this spiritual power.

Even though his control and understanding of this power was not yet deep or thorough, and he couldn’t compare with Han Muye, as long as one could comprehend, the rest wouldn’t pose much difficulty.

Clearly, Zheng Yaoyang intended to replicate the scene Han Muye had once created within the Purple Sun Cauldron.

All Living Beings.

It seemed that Zheng Yaoyang also felt uncertain of his victory, hence he resorted to his most recent comprehension in his refining.

On the other side, in front of Luo Shentong, were several small squares.

These squares emitted a faint spiritual glow.

Outsiders might not know what this was, but Han Muye understood.

This was the new Flying Shuttle he had derived with Luo Shentong.

Composed of numerous small spaces combined together to eventually form a thirty-thousand-foot Flying Shuttle.

The movements of both were swift.

In just under an hour, Zheng Yaoyang had already refined a green Bamboo Staff.

This Bamboo Staff was lush and vibrant, three feet in length, and as thick as a finger.

Golden Flowing Light ran through Zheng Yaoyang’s hand, ceaselessly moving and inscribing on the Bamboo Staff.

Uncountable divine patterns were left on the Bamboo Staff.

An unusual aura was brewing on the Bamboo Staff.

“All Living Beings?” Xun Chu Yun exclaimed from below.

Master Zhu Yuan at his side and the previously defeated Master Yun Ji also showed surprise on their faces.

“How is it possible, to create life with an artifact? That is, that’s the Artifact Refining Forbidden Zone…” They exchanged glances, disbelief gleaming in their eyes.

On the other side, Master Mingtong turned to look at Great Venerable Muyue beside him.

“You said Zheng Yaoyang has met with Han Muye.”

“And you mentioned, they seemed to share some connection.”

Great Venerable Muyue nodded his head.

Master Mingtong gazed at Han Muye, a strange halo swirling in his eyes.

“All Living Beings?” Luo the Madman also raised his head, his expression revealing a touch of surprise.

“You, Zheng Yaoyang, haven’t you always been studying Returning to the Origin, pursuing Source Energy? Why have you shifted direction?”

Zheng Yaoyang chuckled softly, glancing at the thousands of small squares floating before Luo the Madman.

“You, Luo the Madman, weren’t you the one who said you’d give up making combination artifacts?”
