I Started As the Qin Family Patriarch and Was Bound to the Selection System

The betting game on the Dragon and Tiger ListInside Zhexian Tower, Huang Jiyun looked shocked as he stared at the jade slip in his hand and said in disbelief:

”The Qin Family is actually a Family that ascended from the Beginningless Realm, and they’ve reached Immortal King Level strength in just half a year. This is truly incredible.”

Huang Jiyi’s eyes flickered with excitement as he spoke, ”Father, the Qin Family is developing so quickly; Qin Yi must be hiding a massive secret.”

”Furthermore, the Qin Family possesses a terrifying military formation that can unleash power an entire Great Realm higher.”

”If our Huangji Aristocratic Family obtains it, we could dominate the Beiming Immortal Kingdom and even hold a certain status within the Xuan Chu Ancient Domain.”

Huang Jiyun shook his head and said solemnly, ”The secrets Qin Yi holds are indeed tempting, but they are not something our Huangji Aristocratic Family can meddle with.”

Huang Jiyi showed a look of confusion and asked, ”Father, isn’t the Qin Family just an Immortal King Level Family?”

”Any Immortal Venerable Realm expert from our Huangji Aristocratic Family could easily wipe out the Qin Family.”

Huang Jiyun’s eyes showed a trace of fear, and his expression turned grave as he said, ”Do you know what kind of place the Beginningless Realm is?”

”I once heard the Old Ancestor mention that the Beginningless Realm was the very first world formed in this universe. It holds massive secrets, and countless experts have emerged from it.”

”Otherwise, why do you think Immortal Venerable Wuji is so highly regarded by the Beiming Immortal Kingdom? Even though Immortal Venerable Wuji’s talent is very strong.”

”But Immortal Venerable Wuji was appointed as a Regional Guardian while only at the First Level Immortal Venerable Realm; such a thing has never happened in the history of the Beiming Immortal Kingdom.”

Huang Jiyi was shocked and said solemnly, ”Isn’t the Beginningless Realm just a Lower Realm? How could it be the first world formed in this universe?”

Huang Jiyun said, ”I’m not clear on that either. However, it’s true that the Beginningless Realm holds massive secrets.”

”There should be experts from the Beginningless Realm in the Xuan Chu Ancient Domain; otherwise, the North Nether Immortal Lord wouldn’t value Immortal Venerable Wuji so much.”

”Our Huangji Aristocratic Family will not get involved in the Qin Family’s secrets. One careless move, and our Huangji Aristocratic Family would be destroyed.”

”Moreover, according to the intelligence, Qin Yi’s cultivation speed is far too fast.”

This gave Huang Jiyun an uneasy premonition that Qin Yi might be the Reincarnation of some great power, someone his Huangji Aristocratic Family simply couldn’t afford to provoke.

On the other side, the Sect Master of the Qiantian Immortal Sect had also received information about the Qin Family. He said excitedly:

”To think the Qin Family actually has such a terrifying military formation. If my Qiantian Immortal Sect obtains it, we wouldn’t even fear ordinary Immortal Emperor Grade powers.”

The Grand Elder of the Qiantian Immortal Sect’s eyes flickered with excitement as he spoke, ”That’s right, we must obtain the Qin Family’s military formation.”

The Qiantian Immortal Sect Master nodded and said excitedly, ”Grand Elder, the news of the Qin Family’s military formation must not be leaked to other powers.”

”Once the Beiming Immortal Gathering ends, we will intercept and kill Qin Yi and the others outside the city.”

The Grand Elder of the Qiantian Immortal Sect said excitedly, ”Sect Master, I understand.”

...Three days later, after the list of Cultivators participating in the dragon and tiger ranking list was announced, the Su Family Bank set up a gambling match regarding the dragon and tiger ranking list.

It listed all the experts who could potentially take first place on the dragon and tiger ranking list and set different odds according to their strength.

Cultivators used Immortal Stones or immortal source stones to place bets. If the expert they bet on won first place, they would receive several times the return.

Hearing this news, the Cultivators in the city showed looks of excitement and spoke one after another:

”Have you heard? The Su Family Bank has set up a gambling match to bet on the first place of the dragon and tiger ranking list.”

”Of course I’ve heard. Many Cultivators have already placed their bets.”

”That’s right. It seems the favorite for the tiger ranking is Zhan Tianhen, and the favorite for the dragon ranking is Huang Jiyun.”

”Correct, I just bet three thousand Immortal Stones on Zhan Tianhen. His odds are 1:2. As long as Zhan Tianhen takes first place in the tiger ranking, I can get six thousand Immortal Stones.”

The Su Family Bank is an Immortal Venerable Grade power in Beiming City, with a Immortal Venerable Fifth Layer Realm Old Ancestor overseeing it.

On the street, the Water Dragon Turtle’s eyes flickered with excitement as he spoke, ”Qin Yi, since the Su Family Bank has set up a gambling match.”

”Then let’s go take a look. Bet all the Immortal Stones you have on yourself. It would be a waste not to earn such easy Immortal Stones.”

With Qin Yi’s Ninth Level Immortal King Realm cultivation, the first place in the tiger ranking would definitely be his.

Qin Yi nodded and said, ”Let’s go. We’re heading to the Su Family Bank.”

Saying that, Qin Yi stepped forward and walked toward the Su Family Bank.

Inside the Su Family Bank, there were many Cultivators, and the place was bustling with noise.

In the very center were two rectangular stone tables. Above each stone table, several signs were suspended.

The signs were engraved with the names of Cultivators and their odds.

The stone table on the right was where one could bet on the first place of the tiger ranking. There were eight signs suspended above it, and the Cultivators whose names were on the signs were all Ninth Level Immortal King Realm experts.

There were a total of eight Ninth Level Immortal King Realm experts participating in this Tiger Ranking Competition.

Cultivators from the Ziyang Immortal Palace and the Fire Cloud Immortal Sect were also at the Su Family Bank.

Immortal Lord Ziyang looked delighted and remarked, ”Qin Yi’s cultivation speed is far too fast. His cultivation has already reached the Ninth Level Immortal King Realm.”

After Immortal Lord Ziyang and the others arrived in Beiming City, they heard about what had happened at the central square.

When they learned that Qin Yi’s cultivation was at the Ninth Level Immortal King Realm, it truly gave Immortal Lord Ziyang and the others a huge shock; they couldn’t believe it was true.

At the same time, an uncontrollable feeling of excitement rose in their hearts.

Since Qin Yi’s cultivation was at the Ninth Level Immortal King Realm, it was possible for him to take first place in the tiger ranking.

When the first place of the tiger ranking is seized by a Cultivator from the Southwest Region, it will surely shock all the Cultivators within the Beiming Immortal Kingdom.

Immortal Lord Huoyun said with emotion, ”Indeed, the speed at which Patriarch Qin’s cultivation increases simply cannot be judged by common logic.”

”However, Patriarch Qin being a Ninth Level Immortal King Realm Cultivator is also a good thing for our Southwest Region.”

Immortal Lord Ziyang nodded. With a Ninth Level Immortal King Realm expert in the Southwest Region, when they came to participate in the Beiming Immortal Gathering,

they would no longer be mocked by the Cultivators within the Beiming Immortal Kingdom.

Immortal Lord Ziyang looked at the eight signs above and said, ”It seems very few people believe that Qin Yi can take first place in the tiger ranking.”

Qin Yi’s odds were 1:15. Most Cultivators believed that since Qin Yi came from the Southwest Region,

although his cultivation had reached the Ninth Level Immortal King Realm, his true strength was likely inferior to those like Thunder.

Immortal Lord Huoyun said with a smile, ”Then if we bet on Patriarch Qin, won’t we be able to make a fortune in Immortal Stones?”

Immortal Lord Ziyang nodded. He still had great confidence in Qin Yi’s strength.

Then, Immortal Lord Ziyang walked forward and said to the Grey-Robed Old Man there:

”My Ziyang Immortal Palace bets that Qin Yi will take first place. Here are one million Immortal Stones.”

With a wave of his hand, a spatial ring flew out and landed in front of the Grey-Robed Old Man.

The Grey-Robed Old Man looked surprised and asked, ”Are you sure you want to bet one million Immortal Stones on Qin Yi?”

Immortal Lord Ziyang nodded and said seriously, ”I’m sure. Qin Yi will definitely take first place in the tiger ranking.”

A smile appeared on the Grey-Robed Old Man’s face as he quickly recorded Immortal Lord Ziyang’s bet.

He was secretly delighted; this time he had gained one million Immortal Stones for nothing.

As for Immortal Lord Ziyang’s claim that Qin Yi could take first place, the Grey-Robed Old Man didn’t believe it at all.

Then, he handed a Purple Jade Token to Immortal Lord Ziyang.

”This is your voucher. If Qin Yi takes first place in the tiger ranking,”

”you can come to our Su Family Bank with this Purple Jade Token to collect fifteen million Immortal Stones.”
