Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

With everyone watching, who will win and who will lose?

The number of people in the Wendao Lake area and those watching from Tianjie Street combined already exceeds 300,000. Furthermore, disciples continue to arrive from various peaks.

A truly grand stage.

The stage is made more vibrant by outstanding individuals, and outstanding individuals shine brighter on the stage. False outstanding individuals are deterred, while true outstanding individuals are inspired.

Chu Xinghe and Nangong Chi are truly outstanding individuals.

Each of them represents a powerful force behind them, standing at the center of the stage, showcasing their cultivation achievements.

In this kind of game, the key to victory or defeat lies not only in one's own strength, but also in whether one has a strong mentality.

With over 300,000 people watching, many would feel intimidated, but the disciples with strong hearts wouldn't. They ignored the crowd, focusing solely on the battle to unleash their full potential.

Without a doubt, both Chu Xinghe and Nangong Chi possessed great composure. They were fighting to the point of near oblivion, their eyes fixed solely on each other.

"Even this old man is getting nervous watching this."

Peak Master Xing Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his expression turning strange. He even felt a rare sense of tension.

The other peak masters were in a similar state of anxiety, all holding their breath. They wondered if Chu Xinghe could pull it off.

Before the matter was definitively concluded, they dared not express any opinion. This battle was of extraordinary significance, concerning the future prospects of the Haoran Immortal Sect for the next thousand years.

If Chu Xinghe wins, a peerless hero will surely emerge from the Haoran Immortal Sect a thousand years from now, inheriting the sect's glory. All the high-ranking members, including Lin Baoding, are hoping for this to happen.

Several days later, two months had passed since the start of the conference.

Chu Xinghe and Nangong Chi were still locked in a fierce battle. They had been fighting continuously for twenty days, and both of them had exhausted most of their internal energy reserves.

People waited quietly; very few left. Although the match lasted a very long time, they had already come all this way…

We need to see the result eventually.

Even if we assume the worst, the battle will naturally end once they've exhausted their internal energy. There's no rush.

Several more days passed.

Seventy days have passed since the Dao Discussion Conference, and Chu Xinghe and Nangong Chi have been fighting for a full month.

A month is enough time to wear down anyone's patience. Seeing that the two were still locked in a stalemate, many people sat down on the ground and began chatting and making friends.

After this grand gathering, many disciples will become close friends, embark on the path to immortality together, and forge a bond of karma.

Some were bolder and directly asked the fairy for her communication talisman. They planned to work hard to develop the relationship back home, hoping to become her Daoist partner and win her heart.

They didn't possess Chu Xinghe's extraordinary talent, and their pursuits differed from his. They only wished to cultivate to a higher realm, extend their lifespan, and have a child with the fairy, which would be enough to satisfy their desires.

Even high-ranking members of the sect, such as Lin Baoding, showed signs of fatigue in their eyes.

Chu Xinghe and Nangong Chi are too formidable fighters; it will likely take quite some time to reach a conclusion.

"It's been going on for a month."

Chang Wen walked out of the room, stretched, and his bones creaked.

During that month, his daily routine was very regular. He would watch Chu Xinghe fight during the day and go back to his room to sleep as usual at night. It had become a habit without him even realizing it.

He genuinely hadn't expected the two of them to fight for a month. If he had known, he would have definitely prepared some daily necessities for them.

But it's not a big problem; he's easily satisfied. Although watching Chu Xinghe fight every day is rather boring, there are over 300,000 people here after all.

The thought that everyone else was so boring made him feel less bored...

Moreover, he had a place to stay, unlike the other disciples who... searched the whole world for a place to rest, and some even slept directly on the ground. In comparison, he inexplicably felt that life here was not bad.

It's worth mentioning that Daofeng is very considerate; the rewards for betting on Chu Xinghe to win have already been settled. A full 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Now it's time for another big investment.

After voting for Su Xiaoman, she voted for Lin Yuan; after Lin Yuan, she voted for Shen Nianqing; after Shen Nianqing, she voted for Su Xiaoman again—it never stopped.

Sometimes, when the mood struck, he'd give Xue Wuqing a few stones. This left the latter completely bewildered—"Aren't your spirit stones spirit stones?"

Chang Wen smiled without saying a word. He simply pointed to Su Xiaoman, who was looking for a place to throw away her spirit stones.

Snow is merciless...

That wretched Biyou, what on earth is she hiding from her...?

Han Yaodong and Han Xiao next door also had their eyelids twitching wildly, thinking to themselves that Haoran Peak was truly a place where hidden talents lurked.

First there was Shen Nianqing's Yin-Yang Sacred Body, then Chu Xinghe's Myriad Dao Resonance. Now this little girl is throwing spirit stones all over the world—it's utterly outrageous.

Most importantly, you won 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones from your bet. Who are we loaning these high-interest loans to?

……

Chang Wen was unaware of all this; he continued investing while waiting for Chu Xinghe's battle to end.

"Nianqing, when do you think they'll finish fighting?"

Unable to understand, Chang Wen looked at Shen Nianqing as if asking casually.

"If this continues, it will probably take another half month. But if they unleash their full power, it will only take the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Shen Nianqing answered truthfully. In a battle of this caliber, victory requires unleashing a powerful attack. Otherwise, it comes down to whoever's inner energy depletes first.

"Half a month is acceptable."

Chang Wen calculated the time and felt relieved.

As the senior disciple of Haoran Peak, he couldn't just watch the show like the others. He also had to worry about the takeover of Haoran Peak.

With eight months remaining until the grand feast, he must allow ample time for preparation. Currently, there seems to be plenty of time.

"Eldest brother, third brother seems to have stopped."

Just then, Shen Nianqing's voice came from the side.

"Um?"

Chang Wen followed her gaze. Sure enough, he saw that Chu Xinghe and Nangong Chi, who had been locked in a fierce battle, had distanced themselves from each other.

This action instantly energized everyone present. Was a result finally on the horizon?

Ask about the lake above.

Chu Xinghe and Nangong Chi stood facing each other, their eyes surging with fighting spirit.

"If I'm not mistaken, your strange fire is called the Sacred Flame of Reincarnation, isn't it?"

Chu Xinghe did not launch another attack, but stopped in place and asked a question.

"How did you find out?"

Upon hearing Chu Xinghe's insightful words, Nangong Chi's beautiful eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

The Sacred Flame of Reincarnation is an extremely rare item, known to very few. Furthermore, it was concealed by Kong Jian and the elders, making it completely unlike its original form. How could Chu Xinghe, merely a Golden Core cultivator, possibly recognize it?

"Just a guess."

Chu Xinghe felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that it really was the Reincarnation Holy Flame. His gaze became more serious.

I don't believe it.

Nangong Chi didn't believe it; he seriously suspected that Chu Xinghe had a mastermind behind him.

"Whether you believe it or not is not important. What is important is that you cannot unleash its full potential yet."

Chu Xinghe's expression remained unchanged, and he felt fortunate.

Fortunately, Nangong Chi did not completely refine the Holy Flame of Reincarnation, otherwise the battle would have become extremely fierce.

He had been fighting Nangong Chi for a month, trying to figure out exactly how far Nangong Chi had refined the Reincarnation Sacred Flame. Now, he finally had the answer.

Less than 30%.

Reaching this conclusion, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't need to reveal my identity..."

As the thought crossed his mind, he looked at Nangong Chi and warned, "My next move is very powerful, so you'd better be extremely careful."

When they first started playing, Nangong Chi had given him a heads-up. He had to remind him to be meticulous.

"it is good."

Nangong Chi responded immediately, not daring to be negligent. He activated his internal energy technique at full speed, ready for battle.
