As Duan Ling Tian’s voice trailed off, everyone on the scene fell deathly quiet. Initially, when they heard that Duan Ling Tian wanted to compete with He Pei Yuan, the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist, in heating speed, they had a.s.sumed Duan Ling Tian would heat a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron while He Pei Yuan would heat his Duke Grade Celestial Pill Cauldron. Under such circ.u.mstances, Duan Ling Tian, whom they correctly a.s.sumed had hidden his true heating speed as well, would easily defeat He Pei Yuan in a heating speed compet.i.tion. Knowing this, how could Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, use the sect’s triple-trait Divine Ability as a stake, even if Duan Ling Tian was using his triple-trait Celestial Method as a stake, when he knew it would only be a losing bet? However, to everyone’s shock, Duan Ling Tian had said he would compete with He Pei Yuan in heating speed by using prominent Celestial Pill Cauldrons.

“He… Is he crazy? He wants to compete with Master He in heating speed using prominent Celestial Pill Cauldrons?”

The prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect were filled with shock and disbelief when they looked at Duan Ling Tian. They could not understand where Duan Ling Tian obtained the courage to propose such a challenge. If Duan Ling Tian heated a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron while He Pei Yuan heated the Duke Grade Celestial Pill Cauldron, they were rather certain of Duan Ling Tian’s victory even if Duan Ling Tian was competing with He Pei Yuan who was a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Duke. Moreover, since Duan Ling Tian dared to propose the bet, it was clear that Duan Ling Tian was confident about his heating speed. It was not surprising if Duan Ling Tian had hidden his true heating speed since he had concealed his true skills earlier as well. However, he did not think Duan Ling Tian stood a chance in winning, regardless if he had hidden his true heating speed, if Duan Ling Tian and He Pei Yuan were to compete using prominent Celestial Pill Cauldrons.

When the onlookers regained their senses, they began to discuss among themselves in excitement. They felt Duan Ling Tian must have gone crazy to propose such a bet.

“Did I hear him right? He… he wants to compete with Master He in speed using prominent Celestial Pill Cauldrons?”

“You heard that right… That’s what he really said! I really wonder who or what gave him the courage to propose such a bet!”

“Is he crazy?”

“If he wins, I’ll let him decapitate me, and he can kick my head around like a ball!”

It was only natural that most people thought that way. Duan Ling Tian was just a prominent Celestial Alchemist who was not even 100 years old, and he only possessed what they thought was a prominent Celestial Fire. How could he compete with a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist who possessed a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire to heat prominent Celestial Pill Cauldrons? With the help of a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire, a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist only needed a very short time to heat a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron. After all, with the supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire being superior to a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron, needless to say, a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist only needed very little time to heat a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron.

When Bai Wu Ji regained his senses, he looked at Duan Ling Tian with his deep eyes that seemed like the endless starry sky. “Are you sure you want to compete with our Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s Master He in heating speed using prominent Celestial Pill Cauldrons?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian returned Bai Wu Ji’s gaze in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

Upon seeing this, Bai Wu Ji’s expression changed slightly, confused as to what Duan Ling Tian was plotting. He had no doubt Duan Ling Tian would not be able to best He Pei Yuan if they were to compete using prominent Celestial Pill Cauldrons. Put everything else aside, just their Celestial Fires were on different levels and were not comparable at all; one was a prominent Celestial Fire while the other was a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire. However, if he, a non-Celestial Alchemist could think of this, there was no way Duan Ling Tian was not aware of this. Therefore, he was confused about Duan Ling Tian’s motive.

At this moment, a voice rang in the air. “Sect leader, I’ll accept his challenge!” It was none other than He Pei Yuan.

Bai Wu Ji’s expression changed when he heard He Pei Yuan’s words.

He Pei Yuan continued to say, “Since he’s willingly sending his triple-trait Celestial Method to the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, we should just accept it with open hands!” He was furious. He felt as though his dignity had been trampled on. How dare a prominent Celestial Alchemist challenge him to heat a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron? Did Duan Ling Tian think his supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire was fake?

Bai Wu Ji did not immediately respond to He Pei Yuan. He looked at Duan Ling Tian thoughtfully. Regardless of how ludicrous Duan Ling Tian’s proposed bet was, he was certain Duan Ling Tian did not have the intention of freely handing his triple-trait Celestial Method over to the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. Moreover, he had killed He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, not too long ago. Even if he did not, would there be anyone who was willing to give up a triple-trait Celestial Method for no reason at all? Of course not. Even the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect only possessed one triple-trait Divine Ability.

‘Is he really confident about winning? Impossible. A prominent Celestial Fire is incomparable to a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire.’ Warring thoughts appeared in Bai Yu Ji’s mind. Despite how unlikely it seemed, he could not shake the feeling that Duan Ling Tian must be certain of his victory to propose this bet. However, there was no way Duan Ling Tian could best He Pei Yuan who would be using his supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire to heat a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron.

‘Is it possible that he also has a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire, or perhaps, an even higher grade Celestial Fire?’ Bai Wu Ji thought to himself. However, he quickly dismissed that thought. ‘Impossible. He clearly has a prominent Celestial Fire. He couldn’t have hidden a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire as well. After all, when a Celestial Alchemist obtains another Celestial Fire that’s higher in grade, it would obliterate the lower grade Celestial Fire. As the saying goes, ‘Two tigers can’t live on the same mountain’.’ No matter how hard Bai Wu Ji thought about it, he really could not figure Duan Ling Tian out. ‘Why is he so confident?’

He Pei Yuan grew anxious when he saw Bai Wu Ji deep in thought. He hastily sent a Voice Transmission to Bai Wu Ji. “Sect leader, I’m 100% confident I’ll defeat him. He’s just a prominent Celestial Alchemist after all. There’s no way he’ll be able to best me in heating a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron. If I really lose to him, I’ll be too ashamed to continue living in this world!” His voice was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence.

“Master He, don’t you think this is really strange? If he’s not confident he’s able to best you, why is he so confident when he proposed this bet to our Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?” Bai Wu Ji said apprehensively.

Upon hearing this, He Pei Yuan finally realized what was going on in Bai Wu Ji’s mind. It seemed like Bai Wu Ji was afraid that he would not lose. With his revelation, he could no longer hold himself back as he said out loud, “Sect leader, if I lose to him and lose our sect’s triple-trait Divine Ability, I’m willing to hand my King Grade Celestial Weapon to the sect. The value of my King Grade Celestial Weapon shouldn’t be any less than that of the sect’s triple-trait Duke Grade Divine Ability, right?” Stimulated by Bai Wu Ji’s words, he willingly used his King Grade Celestial Weapon as a guarantee to bet with Duan Ling Tian.

“Master He, I… That’s not what I mean…” Bai Wu Ji smiled wryly when he heard He Pei Yuan’s words. Although a King Grade Celestial Weapon was more valuable than a triple-trait Duke Grade Divine Ability, he did not dare to let He Pei Yuan use the King Grade Celestial Weapon as a guarantee. After all, if he accepted He Pei Yuan’s proposal, did it not show that he and the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect did not have confidence in He Pei Yuan? At that time, a rift would definitely form between He Pei Yuan and the sect. He Pei Yuan was just an interim Revered Elder of the sect and was not tied to the sect; he could leave the sect at any time. In the end, he could only say, “The Profound Heaven Celestial Sect will support you!”

Then, Bai Wu Ji quickly turned to Duan Ling Tian to agree to the bet, afraid that Duan Ling Tian would suddenly change his mind.

Meanwhile, a pair of middle-aged men who looked identical, twin brothers, walked over to the periphery of the crowd from nearby. He said to his twin, “This Master Duan is an interesting person.”

These two middle-aged men were none other than Zhong Shang and Zhong Qi. Zhong Shang was a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist while Zhong Qi was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. They were both from the Alliance of Celestial Masters.

“Brother, why do you say that?” Zhong Qi asked curiously.

Zhong Shang replied, “That’s because he asked me a question through Voice Transmission earlier.”

“What did he ask you?” Zhong Qi was even more curious now.

“He asked me how long would a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist take to heat a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron using a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Fire…” Zhong Shang replied as he narrowed his eyes.

“Master Zhong, you’re finally here!” Bai Wu Ji greeted Zhong Shang as soon as he saw Zhongshan. He had planned to tell Zhong Shang about what happened and request him to be a witness for the bet between the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect and Duan Ling Tian.

Zhong Shang did not wait for Bai Wu Ji to explain and directly said, “I was nearby earlier so I’ve already heard about what happened. I’m willing to be the witness for the bet.”

“Thank you, Master Zhong.” Bai Wu Ji cupped his fists slightly at Zhong Shang. After that, he looked up at Duan Ling Tian who was standing nearby. He thought to himself calmly, ‘The deal is sealed. There’s no going back now… I really want to see why he so confidently proposed this bet!” He really could not figure out why Duan Ling Tian was so confident.

After Zhong Shang greeted He Pei Yuan who was also a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist, he looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully and said, “Master Duan, we meet again.”
