718: Chapter 717 Good People Good Deeds 1 [Request for guaranteed monthly ticket] 718: Chapter 717 Good People Good Deeds 1 [Request for guaranteed monthly ticket] All cultivators’ eyes instantly turned towards the unimpressive thin cultivator standing beside Daoist Qiu Shi; to call him unimpressive was almost a compliment, “sneaky and rat-like” would be a more appropriate description.

In the cultivation world, where high attractiveness is common, such appearance only indicated one thing: he was the kind of cultivator who pursued essence over appearance, disregarding any superficial adornments.

Otherwise, couldn’t that slightly hunched back be corrected easily?

Hou Niao stepped forward, “Hao Ren, helping others is a pleasure, serving everyone is my honor.”

Murmurs began below, this choice was unexpected for the most, was it not supposed to be three people?

Why had it reduced to one now?

Moreover, what were the reasons for the other two opting out?

A good person?

In the Jinxiu Cultivation Realm, no one had heard of this name.

Considering that the true disciples present had traveled the continent for decades, virtually leaving no stone unturned and still didn’t know him, that spoke volumes of his reticence and mystery, or perhaps, he had always been incognito?

But such a distinguished appearance had never been seen before either.

In the cultivation world, teeming with handsome men, such features were more glaring than anything else.

Someone voiced doubts, “Is this Daoist Hao Ren really from the Tongtian Natural Realm?”

Qiu Shi smirked, “Of course, even if my Heavenly Heart Pavilion is idle, we wouldn’t replace a candidate with a Golden Core Upper Cultivator just for fun.

With many Daoist friends from various sects and Golden Core cultivators from across the continent present, can we really deceive hundreds of eyes?”

Another expressed concern, “Why does it have to be in the Orchid Cave Heaven Pocket World?”

Qiu Shi’s face cooled, “Because we do not wish your duels to damage even a single flower or blade of grass at year’s end.

Moreover, the scenery of Orchid Cave Heaven can be observed from the outside.

While there are many pocket worlds in this world, few offer such convenience.

I, Qiu Shi, can assure everyone here.

I swear by the Dao, Hao Ren, like everyone else, has never entered Orchid Cave Heaven before, so there’s no question of any unfair advantage.

Of course, if you don’t trust it, you can find a small pocket world yourself.

Heavenly Heart Pavilion will not object.”

Heavenly Heart Pavilion displayed their sincerity by staking this cultivator called Hao Ren, willing to accept the outcome of the wager.

This unexpected method was not typical of Heavenly Heart Pavilion’s style, but maybe they were cornered by everyone, having no choice but to act this way; the inheritors subconsciously wondered, is it really this simple?

Could there be a trap?

One person standing against nineteen, even if they took turns, and he had ample time to recover, would still not be feasible for just anyone; among the existing ten Constellation True Inheritors on the continent, possibly only a few of the strongest might be able to manage such feats.

Was Heavenly Heart Pavilion so generous because they were utterly confident, or had they given up?

Nineteen true disciples gathered together, deciding that a major decision required at least a majority agreement; this was not something one could decide on a whim.

Gu Daozi was cautious, “There must be deceit here, though it’s unclear where it might come from.”

Huai Liangyou was also wary, “This is unlike Heavenly Heart Pavilion’s usual style; they never confront issues so directly.”

Lou Yue frowned, “This person might be from the Tongtian Realm, but he is not necessarily a disciple of Heavenly Heart Pavilion!”

Cheng Kun suggested, “Could it be a Constellation True Inheritor they hired?

Commandeering his appearance to obstruct us?”

…

Wei Gu was unconvinced, “When Heavenly Heart Pavilion speaks mysteriously, you guys demand clarity.

Now that Heavenly Heart Pavilion is straightforward, you’re full of suspicion.

With such hesitation, what are you competing for in the Constellation inheritance?

A cultivator should be bold and straightforward, focusing on the right things.”

Tan Xiao nodded heavily, “Although Heavenly Heart Pavilion is mysterious, they never deceive.

Their fairness is renowned across the continent.

There’s nothing to ponder over; lacking even this bit of courage, what claim do you have to the Constellation inheritance?”

Yan Baiyi scorned, “If you are worried, just let me be the first one up.

But let me be clear: if I win, none of you should whine behind my back.

A place among the Constellation inheritors definitely includes me!”

Jiaye invoked the Buddha’s name, “One from the Daoist Sect, one from the Buddhist Sect, it’s reasonable and fair.”

With nineteen people, two factions soon formed and the debate continued unabated; but they were not ordinary people, they wouldn’t squabble endlessly like shrews, swiftly coming up with a constitution.

Because Jiaye was the eldest, he took the lead, “Senior Qiu, we want to confirm whether Hao Ren has any affiliations with the existing Constellation True Inheritors?”

Qiu Shi knew they would be worried about this, “How would you like to confirm?”

Jiaye invoked the Buddha’s name, “Amitabha, although it’s somewhat disrespectful, our intention is for Senior Qiu to swear by Heavenly Heart Pavilion…”

Qiu Shi Daoist chuckled, “Why not?”

He then declared a Daoist oath, staking the credibility of Heavenly Heart Pavilion, a vow they could not dare to breach.

This slightly eased everyone’s minds, but Qiu Shi was unyielding,

“I can even swear further to prove that he is not an outsider…”

This was a real slap in the face, implying they lacked courage, hesitating and shadowboxing fearfully.

This time, the true inheritors had no way out.

Nineteen of them jointly agreed to the proposal of Heavenly Heart Pavilion to compete based on strength in Orchid Cave Heaven and not to harass the loser afterward.

If they could overcome Hao Ren, the position of Constellation True Inheritor could no longer be delayed; if they failed, they would lose face and have nothing to say.

Qiu Shi took out a Strange Stone Orchid, threw it into the air, and established a realm, the renowned Orchid Cave Heaven Pocket World of Heavenly Heart Pavilion.

He declared, “Those who wish to watch may find a Strange Stone Orchid to establish connection.

Watching is unobstructed.”

In the sea of flowers, countless Strange Stone Orchids floated, each cultivator found one, immersed their consciousness into it, and clearly saw everything within the pocket world; indeed, the scenery was vivid and detailed.

Looking at this pocket world, it indeed wasn’t very different from the outside, merely an ocean of floral vegetation, though the space was small—suited for a duel between two people; it did not impede either party’s movements and didn’t allow hiding, preventing time wastage.

That Hao Ren bowed to everyone, “I shall proceed first, and await the honor of your presence inside.”

With a leap, he appeared in the Orchid Cave Heaven, and from the cautious way he observed his surroundings, it seemed it truly was his first time there.

The visitors could hold back no longer; instantly, several sought to seize the initiative, inferable from Wei Gu, Tan Xiao, and Yan Baiyi whose faces turned red with urgency, none willing to step back as though the opportunity was just ahead, and arriving late could mean missing out.

Daoist Qiu Shi sighed, “These youngsters indeed have great ambitions; in Heavenly Heart Pavilion, such disciples are still too few, almost none at all.”

“You three, stop fighting.

I’ll host you and let fate decide who goes first.”
