Chapter 2884

"Ancestor, all the Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials have gone to the Fire Room."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Family Elders present, including the ancestor, were all taken aback.

The Heavenly Family Ancestor instantly guessed the meaning of those celestial officials; they were hoping to pick up the last bargains.

Yes, although the Dao One Immortal Sect acts secretly, there are still a few Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts without masters; this is the last opportunity.

Thinking of this, everyone present had their thoughts stirred; the Heavenly Palace wanted to pick up bargains, so why wouldn't the Heavenly Family want to as well?

At that thought, the gazes of all the Elders present turned toward where the ancestor was.

Under the gaze of everyone, the Heavenly Family Ancestor spoke in a deep voice.

"We'll go too."

Whether there is an opportunity or not, going to take a look entails no loss; perhaps there will indeed be a gain, which would be a great profit.

Upon hearing that, the Elders wasted no words, immediately rose, and rushed toward the Fire Room without slowing.

Besides the Heavenly Palace and Heavenly Family, the Wushen Palace and other major powers also received the news, and they all gathered outside the Fire Room courtyard.

Not long after, the formerly deserted and avoided Fire Room courtyard outside was already crowded with people.

However, for a moment, no one dared to enter rashly.

Although others did not understand these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts, they were not stupid; the Heavenly Palace Celestial Officials at the forefront, the Heavenly Family Ancestor, the Wushen Palace Ancestor Miao Cuihua, and others took no action, and naturally they would not seek to stand out.

The Heavenly Family Ancestor and they were well aware of the strength of these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts.

Although the Dao One Immortal Sect had subdued these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts, making them envious, when they actually faced these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts, everyone still couldn't help but feel a jolt of alarm.

"How did the people of the Dao One Immortal Sect subdue these Tree Ghosts?"

A celestial official spoke up, saying, "Yeah, we don't know this method; that's the crucial point—surely we can't just force it."

Don't think that just because only a few Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts remain in the courtyard, forcing them would still make everyone's scalp tingle at the thought.

There's simply no chance.

Therefore, upon hearing that, the celestial officials all fell silent; they only knew that the Dao One Immortal Sect had subdued these Tree Ghosts, but they knew nothing of the specific method.

Not daring to act rashly, the fervor in their hearts was instantly extinguished.

Having no other recourse, one celestial official turned his gaze toward the Heavenly Family Ancestor and Miao Cuihua.

These two have also been to the Barbarian God Tribe Divine Realm; they might know something.

Moreover, everyone is currently probing; it would be better to let others test the waters first—after all, one daoist's death is another's gain.

Immediately, a celestial official smiled and said to the Heavenly Family Ancestor and Miao Cuihua:

"Two fellow daoists, please go first."

Upon hearing that, the Heavenly Family Ancestor and Miao Cuihua could hardly fail to know what those fellows were thinking.

Want them to be cannon fodder? That's ridiculous; we're all thousand-year-old foxes—do you still want to play these roundabout tricks with me?

The Heavenly Family Ancestor didn't even think, and directly replied:

"Everyone, please go first; I, the old man, am just here to watch the excitement, with no other thoughts."

He paid no heed to the anxious family elders behind him; the Heavenly Family Ancestor wore a calm expression, showing no desire to contend or rush.

Now is absolutely not the time to act; let's first observe the situation.

Miao Cuihua was even more direct, simply choosing to ignore them.

Seeing that the two took no bait, the Heavenly Palace's celestial officials were somewhat displeased, but they didn't say anything further.

They exchanged a few glances, obviously transmitting messages covertly.

No one knows what they discussed; finally, a celestial official stepped forward and addressed everyone present:

"Everyone, as the saying goes, opportunities under heaven are known to those with fate; these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts are top-tier tree spirits, their strength comparable to that of our Heavenly Palace's Palace Master; if obtained, they could become the foundation of a clan."

"Our Heavenly Palace does not wish to monopolize such an opportunity; since you all have fate to be here, this opportunity can be fairly competed for by everyone."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately erupted in an uproar.

After all, many present actually didn't know the full details; most had only a partial understanding.

They had come just to join the fun; upon hearing now of the immense utility of these tree ghosts, and that the Heavenly Palace said everyone could participate in the competition, how could they not be excited?

Especially those who are originally immortals and powers from Beyond the Heavens, their hearts burned even hotter.

Even if they had already guessed that there must be danger involved, what of it?

Families want to develop, sects want to grow—how could they possibly avoid taking risks?

"As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger; according to the Heavenly Palace celestial officials' words, if one truly could obtain fated recognition from a tree ghost, the benefits would be unimaginable."

Many could no longer restrain themselves, their faces full of eager anticipation to try.

In stark contrast to these people are the Heavenly Palace, Heavenly Family, and Wushen Palace—these major powers that know the full details.

"Ancestor……"

Ignoring the anxious mental transmission from a family elder behind him, the Heavenly Family Ancestor remained calm and said without haste:

"What's there to panic about? Going up now would be to throw away one's life."

Miao Cuihua also signaled to the Wushen Palace people to settle down and not be restless.

Seeing that the Heavenly Palace people were not falling for it, they simply let others act as cannon fodder.

Never mind anything else; in short, let's first probe the attitude of these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts.

If their attitude is indifferent, then we must plan long-term; otherwise, once these tree ghosts go berserk, not to mention opportunities, even our lives would be uncertain.

If the tree ghosts' attitude is good, then we can proceed with further attempts.

Now we just wait for the first person to step into the small courtyard, then we'll test the reactions of these few tree ghosts.

Having said that, the Heavenly Palace, Wushen Palace, Heavenly Family, and the major powers at the forefront of the crowd fell into a mutual silence.

They even proactively cleared a path, without urging, but also clearly told others that anyone who wanted to try could step forward.

Those who manage to mingle in Beyond the Heavens and still survive are no fools.

Everyone at the venue naturally knows there is a problem, that there is great danger.

But at the same time it also holds great opportunity.

At first, no one moved; it seemed they were weighing and struggling in their hearts.

However, as time passed, finally someone could not hold back.

Even if they clearly know there is danger inside, even if they clearly know the Heavenly Palace is using them as cannon fodder.

But still that saying: seek wealth and honor in danger; if one could truly obtain this great opportunity, it would be to defy heaven and change fate, to ascend in a single step.

Under such tremendous temptation, there will always be those who are not afraid of death.

It is precisely because they understand this that the Heavenly Palace did not urge, for they knew that sooner or later someone would step forward.

An elder was the first to step out of the crowd; this person is an elder of a small family from Beyond the Heavens, whose whole family had already taken root in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens.

The younger generation of the clan were all born in Beyond the Heavens.

And for such a Beyond the Heavens immortal clan, wanting to grow stronger in Beyond the Heavens is actually very difficult, and the path is almost blocked.

Therefore, facing this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity before them, the elder, after weighing the pros and cons, still resolutely stepped forward.
