Chapter 1350: Chapter 1350: Drawing Lots Ga! Chapter 1350: Chapter 1350: Drawing Lots Ga! Now, the treasure hunters, in this fifth realm, had encountered dangers that could not be called anything but perilous!
They were trapped on a solitary island in the middle of the Dead Sea, surrounded by the terrifying and endless God-light of extinction of the Five Elents.
There was no way up to heaven and no door down to earth.
“Does the Immortal Emperor wish to trap us to death on this godforsaken island?” The Third Crown Prince complained discontentedly.
“Heh—I think it’s not that simple,” Huang Xiaolong said with a faint smile.
After passing several trials, Huang Xiaolong had vaguely understood the personality of the Immortal Emperor.
This person could be said to be playful and full of tricks, creating different sches in each of the ten realms. Therefore, this fifth realm couldn’t possibly be so straightforward.
At this mont, the voice of the Immortal Emperor continued to echo between heaven and earth. “All treasure hunters, please listen carefully. The words I am about to say are crucial to whether you can pass through this realm—ha ha ha ha—”
Everyone held their breath!
The treasure hunters all completely held their breaths!
They listened intently!
Afraid of missing any detail!
“Um—this God-light of extinction of the Five Elents is roughly enough to grind you into powder and make you vanish in smoke,” the Immortal Emperor said indifferently. “Next, the God-light of extinction of the Five Elents will move toward the island you are on—”
“What?!” Sword Immortal exclaid in horror!
He instinctively looked at the God-light of extinction surrounding the sea, feeling a chill in his heart.
This airtight God-light of extinction of the Five Elents, once it moved, would be like a building about to collapse, no eggs remain uncrushed under a toppled nest!
“Sword Immortal, stay calm!” Purple Fla Immortal quickly advised.
“But—fortune favors the kind-hearted, and I, too, have left a glimr of hope for you treasure hunters—listen carefully now!”
The Immortal Emperor announced cheerfully. “Now, I will play a drawing lots ga with you. This ga, he he he—will determine whether you treasure hunters will continue on your journey to the sixth realm or be forever trapped on this island—or even, face collective death!”
A drawing lots ga?
The treasure hunters beca even more tense.
“This so-called drawing lots ga involves preparing ten lots for you,” the voice of the Immortal Emperor flowed smoothly. “Ten lots, to be drawn by ten treasure hunters, each drawing one. If there are fewer than ten treasure hunters, then, I’m sorry, the ga cannot begin, and you will be forever trapped in this realm—until the next batch of treasure hunters arrives.”
Fewer than ten treasure hunters to play this ga would an being trapped on this deserted island?
They wouldn’t die, but it would be like being in prison!
The treasure hunters all silently breathed a sigh of relief.
The number of treasure hunters present greatly surpassed ten.
The voice of the Immortal Emperor continued, “If you et the count of ten, then you can happily play the drawing lots ga. On the west side of the island you are on, there is a huge rock—do you see it?”
The treasure hunters unconsciously focused their gaze towards the west of the island.
Indeed, there stood a protruding rock, dozens of ters high, quite majestic.
“All treasure hunters, beneath that rock, there are ten lots. Choose ten representatives to go and draw,” the voice of the Immortal Emperor laughed. “Rember, each treasure hunter can only draw one lot. Anyone who draws more will trigger the prohibition and imdiately be punished, vanishing in smoke!”
Drawing lots?
The treasure hunters imdiately began discussing.
“Select ten representatives to go and draw!” The Sword Immortal said solemnly. “This matter is no small affair and must be treated with caution! The ten representatives must be carefully chosen, not blindly or hastily!”
“Huang Xiaolong, you are as cunning as a demon, and you’ve led us through obstacles all along the way; naturally, you should take one of the slots!” The Purple Fla Immortal looked at Huang Xiaolong with a pleading gaze.
Huang Xiaolong shrugged. “I’m indifferent.”
“Then, my sister and I will take two of the drawing slots; how about that?” The Third Crown Prince suggested.
“Mm, Third Crown Prince, Ninth Princess, you possess the blood of the Dragon King and are among the top beings in the universe; you naturally qualify,” the Purple Fla Immortal laughed.
For the remaining seven slots, the Purple Fla Immortal and the Sword Immortal each took one.
The Demon King and the Yell occupied two spots.
The last three seats were taken by the strongest two Profound Immortals and one Demon Saint.
After deciding on the people to draw lots, the treasure hunters moved swiftly, arriving beneath the rock on the west side of the island that the Immortal Emperor had ntioned.
Indeed, beneath the rock, there were ten tal boxes inlaid with pearls and agates.
The voice of the Immortal Emperor, who slew the heavens, tily explained—
“Treasure Hunters, the ten lots are placed in the ten treasure chests that you see. Now, go ahead and draw lots from the chests at random. Hahahaha~ Don’t overthink it; drawing lots is all about luck.”
“I’ll go first.” Huang Xiaolong smiled and without analyzing, he directly chose a chest.
He opened the chest.
Inside, there lay a jade slip.
On the jade slip, a talisman was affixed as a seal.
Sword Immortal and the other nine Treasure Hunters also opened their chests one after the other and drew their lots.
Each had a slip.
“Remove the seal.” Huang Xiaolong casually tore off the seal on the jade slip.
In Huang Xiaolong’s hand, the jade slip displayed a number—10.
Sword Immortal and the others removed the seals and saw numbers on the slips they had chosen.
It turned out, the ten slips were engraved with ten different numbers.
From 1 to 10.
“Hahahaha~~~ Treasure Hunters, you have now completed the drawing. Now, let reveal to you that each slip carries a question. What you need to do is answer these questions. Rember, currently, the Five Elents Annihilation Divine Light surrounding this world is motionless. However, when you answer the questions, the Five Elents Annihilation Divine Light will move according to your answers.”
“Simply put, the current Five Elents Annihilation Divine Light is at a certain distance from the island you are on. It’s estimated that after moving ten tis, it will engulf the island, and you will all be erased into ashes.”
“If you answer a question incorrectly, the Five Elents Annihilation Divine Light will move once. If you get all ten questions wrong, the island you are on, as well as yourselves, will be swept away by the Five Elents Annihilation Divine Light and completely erased!”
“Oh, I understand now, I understand,” Sword Immortal nodded repeatedly. “If the Five Elents Annihilation Divine Light moves ten tis, we’re definitely dead. But the power is in our hands! As long as we can answer correctly, we will be safe!”
The Treasure Hunters were all enlightened!
So, the so-called lottery ga was about answering questions!
“Treasure Hunters, for the ten questions, as long as you answer one correctly, the Five Elents Annihilation Divine Light will not be able to devour the island. You will pass the test! Hahahaha~! Isn’t it simple?”
Upon hearing this, the Treasure Hunters all heaved a slight sigh of relief.
Damn, only if all ten questions are wrong will we die!
Just getting one correct is enough to pass!
Damn, how hard can that be?
Even guessing blindly, one might get a question right, right?
“Alright, let’s begin! Answer the questions in the order you drew your slips!” commanded the Immortal Emperor.
“Umm~~ The number on the slip I drew is 10, which ans I’m the tenth and the last one to answer the questions~~” Huang Xiaolong was astonished.
The one who drew slip number 1 was Sword Immortal.
He smiled confidently and swept his divine sense over the jade slip in his hand!
Sure enough, celestial script appeared on the jade slip.
The first question erged!

PS: I have so good news to share with everyone!
As ntioned last ti, my wife went to the hospital to safeguard our baby and endured hard for 8 days. Yesterday, when she was 35 5 weeks pregnant, her water broke!
We had to perform a cesarean section imdiately that night!
37 weeks is considered full-term. My wife’s surgery ant the baby was premature!
Waiting outside the operation room, my feelings were extrely tense, fearful, and anxious. After all, a premature baby is not ideal.
At 11:30 PM, the operation concluded, and the doctor ca out to tell us it was a boy, weighing 5.9 pounds!
The weight was satisfactory!
The baby is currently in an incubator; I can’t see him yet. He might stay there for a week until he’s fully adapted to the outside world!
Here, I want to thank everyone for their blessings!
I want to share this joy with everyone! I also wish everyone good luck every day, may all your wishes co true, and may your families be happy!
