"I bet I can find the Dragon and Tiger Convergence... one million..."

"I bet I can find the Dragon and Tiger Convergence... if I lose, I'll give you a million..."

"I bet... if you lose, treat me to a sword show..."

"I bet..."

Kuang Liu tried a few more times but still couldn't activate his talent. Yet when he saw Chen Guan's expectant eyes, it was as if he was now the hero who would save the world, humanity's last hope, making it hard to say he wanted to give up.

Because of his appearance and personality, everyone thought Kuang Liu was no good.

Even his own parents thought he wouldn't achieve anything in the future, and it would be good enough if he didn't go astray.

Of course, he couldn't entirely blame others. As a child, he indeed didn't love studying and wasn't an honest kid—skipping class, fighting, chasing girls, gambling, playing games. That's how he spent his childhood. No one had high expectations of him, and few people trusted him.

Because everyone's impression of him was just a hooligan, a gambler, someone who loved to bet—how could he possibly be trustworthy?

Looking at Chen Guan, Kuang Liu now felt as if the world was about to end, and the illusion was that he needed to save it as the great hero.

"I... bet... I... can find the Dragon and Tiger Convergence... if I lose... this life is yours... if you lose... treat me to drinks..." Kuang Liu felt a surge of impulse.

This unfair bet, at this moment, felt like a fair and equal bargain in his heart.

What he wanted wasn't that drink, but the glory of a savior, along with respect and trust.

The sense of mission and honor outweighed everything else at this moment.

After this phase of excitement passed, whether Kuang Liu would regret it was unknown. Anyway, he felt from the bottom of his heart that it was very important.

"Win every bet... activate..." Kuang Liu felt his talent activate, a rush of conquest joy emerged, and he looked at Chen Guan excitedly.

"Great... Old Liu... you're really reliable... what should we do now?" Chen Guan was ecstatic.

"Wait for a moment." Kuang Liu reached into his pocket, quickly pulled out a die, clapped his hands together, shook it up, then threw it on the ground.

The die spun on the ground and finally landed on six.

"What does this mean?" Chen Guan asked.

"Two, three, four, five represent southeast, southwest, northwest, and north. I'm checking which direction we should go." Kuang Liu said with a somewhat peculiar expression.

"Then what does six represent?" Chen Guan asked again.

"Generally speaking, one represents the sky, and six represents the earth. Does it mean we have to dig a tunnel down from here?" Kuang Liu pondered aloud.

"That can't be right, the Divine Dragon Mountain Range is in the sky, how could the Dragon and Tiger Convergence be below?" Chen Guan thought this was unreliable.

Besides, Fierce Tiger Mountain is so large, who knows where to dig a tunnel.

Moreover, the stones of Fierce Tiger Mountain are so hard, even with ten days or half a month of digging, they wouldn't dig very deep.

"Trust me, it must be correct. Follow me, we'll find it, we can definitely go down." Kuang Liu said as he started searching near the mountain peak.

Chen Guan could only trust him now, and the two of them searched around the mountain peak for a while. Kuang Liu stared at a huge stone and said, "That stone seems odd, let's go take a look."

Chen Guan came over and noticed that the stone indeed had a problem, with signs of wear near the base.

"Old Liu, your observation skills are remarkable." Chen Guan couldn't help but praise Kuang Liu. Kuang Liu truly wasn't just relying on talent.

Chen Guan and Kuang Liu couldn't move the stone together, Warring States and the Persian Cat also pushed with all their might, but to negligible effect.

Chen Guan summoned the Ghost Eye, its giant body coiled around the stone, forcibly pulling it a certain distance away.

On one side of the stone, an entrance to a tunnel was revealed.

"There really is a way..." Chen Guan looked down and saw that the inside of the tunnel was pitch black, so he quickly took out a flashlight and shone it inside.

Below was a cave, and leading down from there, there were semi-natural, semi-artificial steps.

"Let's go." Kuang Liu went down without hesitation.

Chen Guan followed up quickly, and soon the steps disappeared, leaving only the natural cave.

The cave was filled with twists and turns, and it was so dark that it was easy to miss some junctions. However, Kuang Liu, leading the way, didn't care about these and led Chen Guan onward.

Overall, Kuang Liu kept moving downward. Anyway, by the time they got further along, Chen Guan could no longer tell the directions, as the cave passages were too complex to distinguish directions.

They walked like this for more than a day. Suddenly, the cave ahead was illuminated, and the two finally emerged from the cave.

Outside the cave was a stone staircase, the steps not connected by anything, just stone slabs as large as washboards, suspended amidst the clouds and mist, forming a staircase leading to the clouds, with no visible endpoint.

Below lay an endless abyss of ten thousand feet depth, like a heavenly road with neither beginning nor end.

"Don't look at me, there's no way I can go up there. Up there should be the Dragon and Tiger Convergence, you'll have to go yourself." Seeing Chen Guan look at him, Kuang Liu took two steps back, shaking his head.

With his fear of heights, he couldn't take a single step upward.

"I'll carry you up." Chen Guan said.

"No way... just kill me instead..." Kuang Liu shook his head repeatedly, refusing to go up no matter what.

"Then I'll go up myself and take a look." Chen Guan thought that the Dragon and Tiger Convergence must be up there and decided he might as well go up alone.

Moreover, he hadn't seen Fu Tianji and the others along the way, so they must have arrived at their destination. He needed to hurry to catch up—once they took the items, it would be too late.

Holding Warring States, Chen Guan dashed up the stone stairs rapidly.

"Be careful..." Kuang Liu watched Chen Guan run like that and felt a bit dizzy and weak-legged, taking a few steps back again.

But Chen Guan wasn't worried at all. With the Pure Yang Sword Immortal, even if he fell, he could soar into the sky and return to the stairs.

Above and below were rolling seas of clouds, and Chen Guan felt like he was walking on a cloud, the boundless vastness and grandeur making him feel as if he was ascending to the heavens to seek immortality, nearing the Immortal Realm.

"Everyone says the Grotto Heaven is like an Immortal Realm, living without entering the Grotto Heaven is considered a waste. Just from the Dragon and Tiger Mountains, one can catch a glimpse, truly unimaginable wonders and hues of the earthly realm." Chen Guan thought to himself.

He didn't know how long he'd been climbing, for here there was no sunset or stars, no day or night. As Chen Guan was about to reach the upper cloud layer, he saw a massive island suspended in the clouds, with cloud waterfalls like giant dragons streaming down from its edges, cascading into the sea of clouds.

"This really is the land of immortals!" Chen Guan quickened his pace, the end of the sky-high ladder was on that suspended island.

It seemed close, yet Chen Guan climbed for over two more hours before finally reaching the Suspended Island.

The island's immortal mountains appeared and disappeared, mists swirled around, and the whole island was covered in cloud-like mist, truly like an immortal's land.

Walking here, Chen Guan felt like an immortal soaring through clouds and mists.
