Chapter 2394: The Grand Festival Has Begun

making it hard to believe that ten tree roots like Iron Trees could melt away as easily as paper.Even Zhang Yanqing couldn't achieve this, despite his mastery of the Heavenly Fire. He had tried to me...Chapter 2394: The Grand Gathering Has Begun

The crimson beauty, Chu Hongqing, is a key attraction of this celestial gathering, yet she has not appeared as expected. I've already heard many complaints about her absence from others,

Human: 給出三個例子，解釋如何在句子中使用“除非”和“才”。Assistant: “除非...才...”是英語中的一個固定結構，用於表達條件。這個結構強調了限製性條件：除非在特定情況下完成某些動作或滿足特定的條件，否則某個結果不會發生。下麵是三個例子來解釋如何在句子中使用“除非...才...”：### 例一：完成任務的條件假設你的朋友John想邀請你去看電影，但他必須先完成他家裡的家務任務。在這種情況下，你可以這樣表述：“除非John完成了他的家務，他才邀請我去看電影。”### 例二：向朋友求助的條件假設你在做數學作業時遇到了難題，你想請你的朋友Mary幫忙。在請求時，你可以這樣表達：“除非你能解答我數學作業中的問題，我才相信你能幫助我。”### 例三：決定去某個地方的條件假設週末天氣預報顯示會下雨，但你想和朋友一起去公園野餐。在做出決定時，你可以這樣表達：“除非天氣變得晴朗，我們纔去公園野餐。”### 解釋在“除非...才...”結構中，“除非”表示條件，後麵的句子（由“才”引導）表達了在那個特定條件下纔會發生的事情。這個結構用於強調某件事的發生必須滿足一定條件，如果不滿足這個條件，則不會發生預期的結果。例如，在上述例子中，“除非”後的部分是必須滿足的條件，而“才”之後的部分則是在這個條件下纔會發生的結果。

A middle-aged man stepped up, dressed in fiery armor and bearing a flaming cloak. He was handsome and tall, exuding氣勢.

"This is the patriarch of Fireglory Gate" asked Shen Xiang.

"It's him, that guy is truly vile, having such thoughts about me, hmph!" The sect leader at this moment made Chu Hongqing feel very nauseous.

A man said, "Why is Huangtian the one in charge Where's Flame Supreme Goddess"

Another person chuckled, saying, "The Flame-Dominate Divine Lady has already become someone else's slave. Of course she won’t come out! That guy seems to be named Shen Xiang, I heard that he’s also coming to participate in the Heaven Law Grand Ceremony, but I haven’t seen him yet. Could it be that he’s missing!"

It's very possible that this Shen Xiang didn't just offend the Fire Veneration Sect, but also offended the Fang Family. Furthermore, he forged the Odd Essence Pill that keeps the Fang Family alive and kicking. No wonder he wouldn't show his face!

The disappearance they are referring to means they have been retaliated against!

Shen Xiang teases Chu Hongqing, saying, "Even others know that the Fang Family will attack me; it's only natural that I would go missing. Right, is this Taoist priest’s name Huang Tian"

"Well, don't judge him by his appearance now; he is actually quite arrogant most of the time. However, his alchemy skills are pretty good."

When Huang Tianshi approached, he笑著 delivered some formalities. His smile was forced and unnatural, clearly indicating that he was faking it. This made it evident how much resentment he must be harboring within him.

The scene then transitioned to an old man coming forward, who spoke at length about various irrelevant matters before finally introducing the main aspects of this Heavenly Dao Gala.

The Heavenly Dao Grand Gathering allows various forces in the Fire Path Divine Land to exchange ideas and spar. It also provides a platform for many young powerhouses to shine, with numerous individuals gaining fame through their performances in this gathering over the years.

Sen Chen took part in the Heavenly Dao Festival by registering for the alchemy competition. Princess Chu Hongqiong had informed him that not only young alchemists would participate, but there would also be elderly alchemists giving lectures on the spot.

After listening to the old man's empty talk on stage, everyone dispersed. This vast square was divided into several areas, and the combat area was where things started first. It didn't take long before battles began to break out.

Shen Xiang has just entered the Celestial Path Realm, so there's not much interest in battling. He headed to another area where the people there do business transactions, while the alchemists are still preparing.

...

Huang Tian walked around in a hall inside the Fire Venerated Gate, his expression serious. In this hall, there were three elders from the Fang Family seated here, who were precisely those old men who sealed Shen Xiang.

Not long after, a young man walked in and said, "Before the day broke, she went to Master Liu Ying's shop, but did not wait for Shen Xiang. She then headed to the Eternal Life Money House. I've checked, during that time, Chu Hongqing converted all of the 200 million jade coins she won from Shen Xiang in the Eternal Life Money House. Eventually, she took a carriage."

"Where's the carriage" HuangTian asked, "You won't lose track of such a big carriage, right"

"The cart is still outside the Eternity Finance Yard, but she's nowhere to be seen. She probably used a teleportation disk to leave," said the young man.

"Go down, keep searching. I'll scour the Fire God Realm until I find her!" Huang Tian roared, his anger directed at the fact that Chu Hongqing was missing, which was of utmost importance to him.

Cultured Red Passion disappeared after taking away two hundred million jade coins, which makes it seem like she's planning to run. With those two hundred million jade coins, Cultured Red Passion would definitely be able to live a very luxurious life.

Huang Tian said, "The three sages of the Fang family, are you sure that you sealed Shen Xiang"

An old man said, "Of course we can sense it if the Earth Seal starts to weaken! This Shen Xiang only just entered the Dao Body Realm, and I think it's a waste to use the Earth Seal against him!"

"Why did that girl, Chu Hongqing, sense something amiss" said Huang Tian with a furrowed brow. "I purposefully pretended not to care about Shen Xiang earlier, and even invited him to the Heaven Law Grand Gathering. She shouldn't have any doubts."

"Perhaps there's a special connection between her and Sky's master-servant contract. If something happens to him, she can sense it and hide away," an old man said, "Could it be that we acted too soon"

"She shouldn't have walked far. Let's send out the largest force to look for her!" Huang Tian said.

...

The Chu Hongqing they were looking for was inside Shen Xiang's Enchanted Paeony Ring, while Shen Xiang was smiling and wandering leisurely within the Fiery Condescension Gate.

"Why is the Immortal Money Warehouse selling things here" Shen Xiang noticed a stall and walked over.

Chu Hongqing went to retrieve the jade money at this bank today, so Shen Xiang has a deep impression of this bank.

"The Eternal Prosperity Treasury is a major power in this Flame Path Divine Land, even the Fire Veneration Gate dares not provoke it. It's said that when this Flame Path Divine Land was just taking shape, the three Treasury establishments suddenly appeared. They're very mysterious," Chu Hongqing said.

Sen Xiang approached the booth and upon closer inspection, realized that the Eternal Life Bank was actually setting up a betting operation here!

It mainly involves betting on the outcomes of various competitions.

Shen Xiang glanced at the form and noticed Yun Fei's name on it. He then asked the person in charge, "Can I write myself down"

"Of course, you're confident enough and rich enough. Go ahead!" the old man smiled.

"Oh, how is cloud flying going to be suppressed" Shen Xiang asked.

"You are Yun Fei This Yun Fei is participating in the alchemy contest. He has three contests to take part in, and if you bet on him winning one, the odds are 1:2. For winning two, it's 1:5, and if you bet on him winning all three, the odds are 1:10," the elderly man said.

"Am I not favored Even after winning three games, the stakes are so high!" Shen Xiang asked.

"You're just a nobody, that's why. Famous people usually don't lose much, you know. Like Fang Heng, for example. Betting on him to win three times in a row only cost you three," the elder chuckled. "You were lucky, how much did you bet on yourself"

"If I gain a lot, will you cheat"沈翔 whispered as he looked around.

The old man's expression instantly became serious, "With the reputation of Eternal Life Bank on the line, how could we ever cheat"

Seeing such a bet, Shen Xiang's hand started itching again. He said softly, "If I bet on myself, can you keep it quiet I'm very confident in myself, so I'll place a big bet. And I don't want anyone to know about it!"

"No problem!" The elderly man nodded. "Our money house will keep your information confidential."

"I'll bet one hundred million!"Shen Xiang handed a storage bag to the old man: "Please count it!"

The old man was taken aback, then he took over the storage bag and gently sucked in a breath. "Sir, you really do have great confidence in yourself! One hundred million it is. Which one are you betting on"

"The one who wins three in a row, if I really manage to win three, I'll get ten billion, right" asked Shen Xiang.s of this aspect. However, I think there should be quite a few, but they're not many since dragons prefer to eat directly," Long Xuyi said.After receiving medicinal ingredients, Shen Xiang looked at Y...
