Invincible Over the World
Chapter 689 - 689 686 Treasure of Mystical Secrets

689: Chapter 686: Treasure of Mystical Secrets 689: Chapter 686: Treasure of Mystical Secrets Listening to Xiang Mingzhi’s extremely arrogant laughter, Huang Xiaolong sneered, “Do you intend to try to trick me out of my assets like last time, if I lose, I would lose the Five-Colored Gathering God Flag, the Ten Thousand Buddha Kasaya, and other treasures including the Ice Soul Treasure, and I would also have to kowtow a thousand times admitting my fault, calling you my ancestor, while if you lose, you lose nothing?

You might be a fool, but do you think everyone else in the world is as foolish as you are!”

The surrounding strong figures at the square couldn’t help but snicker lightly.

Xiang Mingzhi’s face turned red with anger as he glared at Huang Xiaolong, “Fine, if I lose, the Treasure of Mystical Secrets and ten thousand Mystic Mechanism Divine Pills are yours!” With that, he waved his hands, and a massive square metal object appeared in mid-air, the prohibition on the metal object opened, revealing endless Spirit Stones, Azure Dragon Coins, spiritual medicine materials, and Divine Pills inside.

“The Treasure of Mystical Secrets!”

The strong figures around the square cried out in surprise, their eyes exceptionally fiery.

Even the Mountain Goat Ancestor and other old monsters had their eyes gleaming greedily.

The Treasure of Mystical Secrets was an unparalleled treasure left by the Mystic Mechanism Divine Sect of the Ancient Times in the Azure Dragon Star River, and the treasures within were comparable to Huang Xiaolong’s Ice Soul Treasure, perhaps even more treasured.

Because the Divine Pills crafted by the Mystic Mechanism Divine Sect were ranked among the top ten Divine Pills, ranked sixth!

Each of the top ten Divine Pills was exceedingly rare and priceless, something that money couldn’t buy.

Huang Xiaolong narrowed his eyes.

He hadn’t expected Xiang Mingzhi’s Qi Fortune to be so good, not only did he obtain the Green Dragon Divine Fire, but he also inherited the Mystic Mechanism Divine Sect’s Treasure of Mystical Secrets!

Huang Xiaolong averted his gaze, speaking icily, “What else?”

Xiang Mingzhi, taken aback, then sneered, “If that time comes, I will also kowtow a thousand times admitting my fault, and in the future, whenever I see you, I will call you my ancestor!”

Huang Xiaolong nodded expressionlessly, then brought out the Ice Soul Treasure, as well as the Ten Thousand Buddha Kasaya among other treasures.

Although Xiang Mingzhi saw that the Five-Colored Gathering God Flag was missing, he didn’t mind as his main goal was the Ice Soul Treasure, the thousand kowtows from Huang Xiaolong, and to have Huang Xiaolong call him ancestor in their future encounters!

Xiang Mingzhi’s eyes flickered with a hateful glow.

Today, he intended to return all the humiliations Huang Xiaolong had given him in the past!

“However, three hours for the contest is too long.

Let’s decide the winner in one hour.

Whoever can refine the Supreme Divine Pill within one hour, and whoever’s quality is highest, wins!” Huang Xiaolong continued, “And we must not use tripod furnaces!”

The competition time set by the guild for the semifinals was the same as the preliminaries, also three hours.

The rule was to use the materials prepared by the guild to refine the Supreme Divine Pill within three hours, and rankings would be determined by the quality and the time taken to refine.

As soon as Huang Xiaolong’s voice fell, the strong figures around were all shocked and uproarious.

Three hours to refine the Supreme Divine Pill, even a level ten Alchemy Grandmaster didn’t have the confidence to succeed, at most only a ten percent chance of success!

But Huang Xiaolong had set it to within one hour!

One hour!

This was simply impossible!

They had never heard of anyone being able to refine the Supreme Divine Pill within one hour.

Xiang Mingzhi’s expression darkened.

With three hours, he was confident he could successfully refine the Supreme Divine Pill, but one hour, he had no confidence at all.

It had nothing to do with the Green Dragon Divine Fire.

One hour was just too short!

Such a feat would require an Alchemy Technique to reach an unimaginably high level.

“What, scared?” Huang Xiaolong sneered coldly.

“Good!” Xiang Mingzhi’s eyes were cold and scheming, “One hour it is then!”

He certainly knew that Huang Xiaolong had shortened the time to one hour and had forbidden the use of tripod furnaces; he understood the intent behind it, yet he refused to believe that Huang Xiaolong’s alchemy skills could be more than twice as good as his!

He possessed the Green Dragon Divine Fire.

Unless Huang Xiaolong’s alchemy skills surpassed his by more than double, he couldn’t possibly win against him!

Upon hearing the wager between Xiang Mingzhi and Huang Xiaolong, Lin Pinghai on the main stage couldn’t help but look towards Elder Sheng Yue; this matter had to be decided by Elder Sheng Yue.

Elder Sheng Yue nodded, signifying his agreement to Xiang Mingzhi and Huang Xiaolong’s wager.

He then coldly told Chen Ye, “Activate the Ancient Slaying God and Buddha Great Killing Array of the Pill King City.

Once the results of the competition are out, if anyone dares to interfere with the outcome, no matter who, eliminate them!”

The Ancient Slaying God and Buddha Great Killing Array!

The powerful figures all around changed their expressions upon hearing this.

This Ancient Slaying God and Buddha Great Killing Array was a famously fearsome array from ancient times.

It was said that once activated, even God-level early-stage experts could be trapped and possibly even killed!

The face of Azure Dragon Mansion Master Qin Yi darkened.

Although Elder Sheng Yue had not explicitly stated it, his words served as a warning — should Xiang Mingzhi lose, and if Qin Yi dared to intervene, the Alchemy Grandmaster Guild wouldn’t hesitate to act ruthlessly!

The warning was directed at other powerful figures as well.

The Mountain Goat Ancestor’s narrow eyes flashed with a cold light, a wild power continuously stirred within him, but eventually, he managed to suppress it.

At this point, knowing Elder Sheng Yue’s will, Lin Pinghai turned and looked at the other participants below the stage, saying, “Does anyone object?

If not, shall the competition begin now?”

Naturally, no one from the Vermilion Bird Academy, including He Feifan, objected.

The wager set between Huang Xiaolong and Xiang Mingzhi was beneficial for them.

Initially, during the semifinals, He Feifan was still worried that both Huang Xiaolong and Xiang Mingzhi would pose a threat to him, but after hearing their wager, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn’t believe that Huang Xiaolong and Xiang Mingzhi could truly refine a Supreme Divine Pill within an hour.

“Good, let the competition, begin now!” Seeing that no one objected, Lin Pinghai announced loudly.

Instantly, various fires surged up around the square beneath.

“Is this the Taiyin Bright Fire?!”

“Primordial Yang Sacred Fire!”

A burst of exclamations erupted among the crowd.

They saw the Mountain Goat Ancestor waving his hands, and balls of dark flames that emitted a platinum-like brilliance continuously appeared; they were a type of extremely powerful flame known as Taiyin Bright Fire!

Meanwhile, the flames summoned by He Feifan of the Vermilion Bird Academy were extremely red and eerily enchanting.

They were known as Primordial Yang Sacred Fire, and their power was not less than that of Taiyin Bright Fire!

Wan Zhenxing from the White Tiger Academy, along with a few other old monsters, also summoned rare flames from around the world.

Previously, during the preliminary round, everyone still had reservations, but now, in the semifinals, no one held back.

As the crowd gasped in astonishment, Xiang Mingzhi waved his hands, and a blue flame in the shape of an azure dragon flew out from his body.

“Green Dragon Divine Fire!”

All eyes were now on the legendary Green Dragon Divine Fire.

They noticed that as soon as the Green Dragon Divine Fire appeared, the Taiyin Bright Fire and Primordial Yang Sacred Fire summoned by the Mountain Goat Ancestor and He Feifan were significantly suppressed and dimmed!
