God Emperor Chapter 2437 - Rainbow Viburnum

Chapter 2437: Rainbow Viburnum

A streak of scarlet blood Qi surged out of Zhang Ruochen’s palm. It circled the gambling table and struck the heavily cracked Warhammer. Immediately, the Warhammer let out a rustling sound.
The Warhammer turned into dust and fell to the ground.
From the center of the Warhammer, a rough black crystal flew out and landed in Zhang Ruochen’s palm.
A surprised voice rang out. “The Warhammer hasn’t been completely corroded.”
“The Regal Artifact has been corroded into dust. Why is this still intact? It seems to be an incredible treasure.”
...
All the cultivators looked at the black crystal.
The crystal was about the size of a walnut. Although it was a crystal, it wasn’t transparent. The crystal seemed ordinary and didn’t emit any powerful aura fluctuations.
However, after Zhang Ruochen transferred a wisp of blood energy Qi into it, a powerful dark power surged out of the black crystal. The Qi wave swept in all directions, forcing everyone to step back.
Someone exclaimed, “The Divine Darkness Crystal! It is a divine power crystal refined by deities who practice the Path of Darkness.”
“The value of a divine crystal is usually ten times that of a Godstone. Darkness is the path of ancient times, so the price of a divine darkness crystal should be higher. In my opinion, this divine crystal can be sold for at least 15 Godstone.”
Cang Jie had already been revived by these words and crawled up from the ground. He was ecstatic as he said, “What? Fifteen Godstone which means fifteen billion divine stones? Hahaha! I’ve won!”
“Mine, it’s all mine. Don’t move... I’m talking to you, don’t move! The chips on the gambling table are all mine.”
......
Cang Jie spread his arms and gathered the scarlet crystal cards in front of him.
There were a total of 77 cards.
It was equivalent to 7.7 billion divine stones.
Apart from his capital of 3 billion, plus the 3 billion he paid to the House of Enchanteurs and the 77 million he took from the gambling table, he had made a net profit of more than 1.6 billion divine stones.
The number of divine stones he won was equivalent to more than half of the wealth that he had accumulated over hundreds of years.
Awesome!
Cang Jie felt as if his Saint Soul was about to leave his body. He laughed non-stop, the wealth he had now was enough to support him to cultivate the Supreme Saint Realm.
Remembering that his senior was still beside him, Cang Jie walked over and bowed respectfully. “Thank you for your guidance, sir.”
“Take this... Catch.”
Zhang Ruochen threw the Divine Darkness Crystal over.
Cang Jie caught the Divine Darkness Crystal. He was a little dazed. “No, I can’t take this divine crystal. You won it rightfully sir.”
The value of the Divine Darkness Crystal was too great. It was comparable to the wealth of a Supreme Saint of the Neverwilt Realm. Cang Jie didn’t dare imagine himself owning it.
This was a taotie that could control his greed. Zhang Ruochen looked at him in a new light. He thought that perhaps there were some important things that he could tell him to do.
“You have won, so naturally it belongs to you,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Cang Jie’s hands trembled. He thought that a Divine Darkness Crystal could even be considered a small fortune for a Thousand-Koan Realm Supreme Saint. His senior is indeed a very able person worthy of admiring.
However, as he thought about it again, his senior had won a Divine Darkness Crystal casually.
With his senior eyesight, he would have won a large number of Godstones if he walked around the gambling city.
He could not even compare.
Boom
An explosion came from above the gambling city.
A Stone Clan cultivator came running down the stairs. The entire gambling city was shaking. He was very agitated and shouted, “Everyone, go and take a look. There’s a big bet going on upstairs.”
“Thousand-feet Lord, what is the big bet that got you so excited?”
The cultivator of the Stone Clan named the Thousand-feet Lord said, “It’s the Rainbow Viburnum, one of the two important items in the Citadel Casino.”
Boom
The cultivators on the third floor of the gambling city also exploded.
There weren’t many Saint-level cultivators who liked to gamble.
However, as long as they liked to gamble, most of them had heard of the Rainbow Viburnum in the House of Enchanteurs.
It was said that the starting price of the bet was 1,000 Godstones.
Those who didn’t have a net worth of 10,000 Godstones wouldn’t dare to get involved easily.
Great gods below the Thousand-Koan Realm didn’t even have the chance to get involved unless they had their own personal mine like Wu Jiang.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
“Those who dare to participate in the bet must be big shots.”
“I’d like to know the true value of the Rainbow Viburnum. I heard that when the bet reaches the ideal state, its value can not be estimated by Godstone.”
...
On the first floor, the second floor, the third floor... all the cultivators in the gambling city rushed to the top floor of the castle in such numbers that the stairways became blocked.
Zhang Ruochen looked calm on the outside and was not so crazy.
Cang Jie was very interested. He was as excited as the other cultivators, and said, “Senior, don’t you want to see it?”
“Do you want to go?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Cang Jie said, “Of course, I want to see whatever is happening.”
“Then let’s go and see it together.”
An invisible spatial power gushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s fingertips and enveloped him and Cang Jie. Instantly, their bodies shrank and turned into two specks of light. They flew through the blocked stairway, all the way to the top floor of the castle.
Passing through the light veil at the entrance, a powerful divine power pressed on both Zhang Ruochen and Cang Jie.
If Zhang Ruochen had not protected Cang Jie, this taotie would have been pressed sprawling onto the ground.
No wonder all the cultivators who wanted to watch were blocked off in the corridor. Because the cultivators who were not strong enough could not resist the divine power to enter the door of the top floor.
The divine power came from the Rainbow Viburnum.
The top floor of the castle wasn’t big. It was about 80 meters long and 60 meters wide. The walls in four directions were made of special crystals. One could see more than half of the Jade Mountain Palace from here.
Apart from Zhang Ruochen and Cang Jie, there were only 25 cultivators in the gambling hall. They were all at least Supreme Saints of the Hundred-Shackle Realm.
The person in charge of this betting was Ye Xiao, the mayor of the Citadel Casino. He was a middle-aged male Supreme Saint in the Hundred-Shackle Realm. He didn’t belong to any of the 10 clans and came from a small clan at the edge of the Infernal Court, the Yakshas.
All those below the 10 clans were all small clans.
The Yakshas had many people. Among the thousands of small clans, they were one of the most powerful. In the past, they were even one of the ten clans.
There were nine people who participated in the gambling.
Zhang Ruochen glanced around. Six of them wanted to take advantage of the situation and bet 1,000 Godstone.
There were only three people who were gambling.
Sitting on the north side of the gambling platform was a Deathkin elite. His face was old, with sunken eyes, and his aura of death was thick. Even if he restrained himself, no one dared to approach him.
He had already placed a bet of 140,000 Godstone.
Seeing this elder, Cang Jie’s expression changed. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “The god of gambling!”
“God?”
Zhang Ruochen looked puzzled. Although the Deathkin elite had powerful cultivation, he could vaguely sense that his cultivation was at a higher level. He couldn’t reach godhood.
It was even impossible to be a fake god.
Cang Jie knew that it was useless for him to use his spiritual power to transmit his voice in front of these powerful figures. So he spoke respectfully in a low voice, “I’m afraid that the god of gamblers is the only one in the Infernal Court who is not a god but can be called a god.” He continued, “Legend has it that he once showed off his power in the headquarters of the House of Enchanteurs 12 lane. He was also killed in the gambling city opened by the dead souls temple and the Pneuma Hall. He even won a bet against a god and seldom lost. Even a god might not be able to match the wealth of the god of gamblers.”
To all gamblers, the god of gamblers was the object of their worship. They were all in awe of him.
“If he has won a bet against a god then he must be really capable,” Zhang Ruochen thought.
Sitting on the east side of the gambling platform was a cultivator in a black robe. Their figure and face were completely wrapped in a black veil. It was impossible to tell their gender or race.
Even their exposed hands were engraved with magic patterns.
With a slight movement of his hands, more than a dozen shadows appeared.
Zhang Ruochen found that the black veil on the person was a real treasure even though it was gaseous. It could block spiritual power detection and seemed to have other magical uses.
Gaseous treasures were very rare.
With the heart of truth, Zhang Ruochen vaguely sensed that this person’s body was cold. It didn’t seem like a flesh and blood creature, but more like one from the Stone Clan, Ghost, Corpusian, or Bone Clan.
Sitting in the west was Yan Zhexian.
She wore a talisman that could change her shape and appearance. The runes were dense and mysterious. If Zhang Ruochen didn’t know her and knew her special aura, he wouldn’t be able to see through her identity.
Behind Yan Zhexian stood two Supreme Saints with profound cultivations.
“As expected of a genius Talisman Master from the Yanluo clan. They only came briefly to the House of Enchanteurs, but they sent two Hundred-Shackle Supreme Saints to follow along.” Zhang Ruochen said.
They were just following you, not protecting you.
Zhang Ruochen believed that with Yan Zhexian’s favor in the Yanluo clan and her pregnancy, she must have a protective treasure like the Wargod Belt.
“If you’re pregnant, you should stay in the clan to nurture your fetus. Why are you running around? It’s one thing to come to the House of Enchanteur, but I didn’t know that Miss Yan likes to gamble too. It’s not good to gamble!” Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help but frown.
Cang Jie gently bumped Zhang Ruochen with his wrist which was as thick as a bucket, and said in a low voice, “Senior, do you feel that the time and space here have become a little different?”
As the Master of Time and Space, did Zhang Ruochen need to be reminded?
This gambling hall seemed to be only 80 feet long and 60 feet wide. It would take at least two miles to walk from the wall to the bottom of the gambling platform.
It was the Rainbow Viburnum that stretched the space!
The closer he got to it, the more the space was stretched.
The flow of time became very chaotic. Sometimes it was fast and other times slow. The Mark of Time turned into a small stream that flowed in the gambling hall.
“Is it a time and space treasure?”
Zhang Ruochen was puzzled, and asked Cang Jie, “What is the origin of this Rainbow Viburnum?”
Cang Jie shook his head and said, “How could a nobody like me know the origin of a treasure of this level? I only heard that it was dug out from an ancient god’s tomb in the Searock Bastion.”
“It is said that the temple master of the dead souls hall wanted to break its seal to see if it was an intact treasure. However, after knowing the identity of the owner of the ancient God’s tomb, he gave up!”
“Who is the owner of the ancient god Tomb?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Cang Jie shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Yan Zhexian looked over and said coldly, “What are you chattering about noisily? Are you quarreling?”
Cang Jie was shocked by the cold light in Yan Zhexian’s eyes. He quickly hid behind Zhang Ruochen.
There was nothing he could do. He was a Saint King. It was already amazing that he could speak in such a gathering of Supreme Saints.
Zhang Ruochen crossed his arms in front of his chest and walked over without fear. He didn’t care about her eyes. Instead, he walked behind her and glanced at the chips on the gambling table. “You’re really rich. You’ve bet 150,000 Godstone.”
“Stop, sir.”
“My Lady, no one is allowed within 30 feet.”
The two Supreme Saints in the Hundred-Shackle Realm of the Yanluo clan looked at Zhang Ruochen with sharp eyes. They stopped him from getting closer.
Zhang Ruochen raised his arms and pressed them down.
The two Supreme Saints in the Hundred-Shackle Realm of the Yanluo clan remained in the same position as before. They froze on the spot as if they had become statues.
This move stunned everyone in the gambling hall. No one dared to underestimate him anymore.
Yan Zhexian knitted her eyebrows together and said, “Power of Dimensions? I didn’t expect him to be a powerful space cultivators. Do you want to take part in the bet?”
“I can’t afford such a big bet. I’m just here to take a look,” Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.
Yan Zhexian said, “That’s good. Since you’re dimensional cultivators, you should have a unique judgment about the Rainbow Viburnum. If you can help me win this round, I’ll give you 10,000 Godstone as a thank you.”
Hearing this, the “Seven-armed elder” who currently has the title of god of gamblers sneered disdainfully.
His eyesight was so brilliant that he had long seen through the true identity of Yan Zhexian. This girl’s cultivation was only at the Great Perfection of the Hundred-Shackle Realm, yet she didn’t know the immensity of Heaven and earth and had gambled on the Rainbow Viburnum.
At this moment, the bet had already reached more than 100,000 Godstone. She didn’t have any confidence at all. In a desperate situation, she had resorted to desperate measures. To ask for the help of a cultivator she didn’t even dare to go on stage. was there anything more ridiculous than this?
Although the Rainbow Viburnum was a time and space treasure, it was impossible for spatial cultivators to make an accurate judgment without spiritual power.
In the end, it still depended on one’s eyesight and ability.
“10,000 Godstone!”
Zhang Ruochen was shocked and sighed.
What a waste!
“Is it so easy for High-Saint Talisman Master to make money? Or are they extremely rich and can squander away their wealth simply?”
Even favorites like Wu Jiang and Lan Ying had a hard time taking out 10,000 Godstones. Yan Zhexian dared to claim that she would give 10,000 Godstones directly.
Zhang Ruochen was very rich, but he was far less generous than her.
“If I win, will you give me 10,000 Godstone?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Yan Zhexian said, “With my status, how could I go back on my word? But you’d better show me something. If I think you’re useless, you won’t even get one Godstone, let alone 10,000 Godstone.”
“I’ll give it a try.”
Zhang Ruochen was quite interested in the Rainbow Viburnum. He started observing it.
He wasn’t only observing the tree itself, but also the changes in space and time in the gambling hall.
A moment later, he said solemnly, “This isn’t a natural Timespace Viburnum. It’s been refined.”
The Sea Stone Star Dock produced all kinds of natural time and space treasures. There were also Timespace Viburnum, but they were very rare. Rainbow-colored ones were even rarer.
If it was a natural Rainbow Viburnum, and it was alive, its price could even surpass that of a Supreme Artifact.
Even a dead Rainbow Viburnum was worth more than 100,000 Godstone.
However, after being refined by someone, its value became difficult to judge.
It was possible that its price was higher than a living Rainbow Viburnum. It was also possible that its price was lower than a dead one.
More importantly, if it was too old and not preserved properly, the Rainbow Viburnum could have been corroded. It looked magnificent and sparkling on the outside, but once it encountered air, it would instantly turn into sand.
