"Huh?" Xiatian frowned. The more he listened, the more confused he became.
He didn't understand what the Five Gates of Life and Death were.
"To put it bluntly, the reason why the Five Emperors were so powerful was because they passed through three of the Five Gates of Life and Death. The reason why the top ten SS rank mercenaries are SS rank mercenaries is because they passed through two of the Five Gates of Life and Death. Therefore, they became SS rank mercenaries." The Cultivation Tower elder said with surging passion.
"What!!" Xiatian's face was full of surprise. The Cultivation Tower elder's words broke his understanding.
He used to think that SS rank mercenaries needed to do a lot of missions and obtain a lot of mission items to become SS rank mercenaries. But he didn't think that SS rank mercenaries would come about like this.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised? In fact, there's nothing to be surprised about. If you can become an SS rank mercenary with only a quest item, then an SS rank mercenary wouldn't be so precious. In fact, many high officials and nobles would spend money to buy an SS rank mercenary. At worst, they would buy one from several big cities," the Cultivation Tower Elder explained.
"What you said seems to make sense." Xiatian scratched his head awkwardly.
Just now, he really thought that as long as he had enough mission materials, he could become an SS rank mercenary. But now, it seems that if it was really that simple, then SS rank mercenaries wouldn't be that valuable.
"In the past, their SS rank mercenary group had a total of 1000 S rank mercenaries. It could be said that the scale was very large. Therefore, they went to pass through the Five Gates of Life and Death in order to obtain the recognition of everyone in the human world. It was also to challenge their own limits. In the end, out of the 1000 S rank mercenaries, only ten survived. You must know that S rank mercenaries are all experts in Jiuding. Moreover, they are very powerful." The Cultivation Tower elder also felt that it was very terrifying.
"What are the Five Gates of Life and Death?" Xiatian was now even more curious about the Five Gates of Life and Death.
As long as you pass through two of the Five Gates of Life and Death, you can become an SS rank mercenary. And if you pass through three gates, it means that you have the same strength as the Five Emperors.
"I also don't know." The Cultivation Tower elder slightly smiled.
"Alright!!" Xiatian had a face full of expectation just now, but now he could only helplessly shake his head.
"I only know that there are Five Gates of Life and Death. However, as for which five gates they are and how to participate in them, I don't know." The Cultivation Tower Elder said.
The Gates of Life and Death!
Incomparably mysterious!
"Oh, are the Five Gates of Life and Death really that terrifying?" Xiatian was also very curious.
"Of course. As far as I know, every few years, there would be super experts challenging the Five Gates of Life and Death. However, not a single one of them succeeded. In the past four thousand years, only fifteen people had succeeded. They were the Five Emperors and the SS-ranked mercenaries. The rest had all died. Challenging the Five Gates of Life and Death, success means life, failure means death." Although the Cultivation Tower Elder didn't know what the Five Gates of Life and Death were, he still knew a lot of information.
"Huu, it's really terrifying." Xiatian let out a long breath.
"That's natural. Those who can challenge the Nine Gates of Life and Death are all peerless old monsters. As long as they don't die, they can enjoy life for thousands of years. Moreover, they can stand at the peak of life. However, there are still many people who choose to challenge the Five Gates of Life and Death. In the end, they lose their lives." Sometimes, the Cultivation Tower Elder couldn't understand why those people didn't enjoy life and insisted on challenging the Five Gates of Life and Death. In the end, they lost their lives.
"The heart of the strong!!" Xiatian lightly said.
"Oh?" The Cultivation Tower Elder looked at Xiatian.
"Those who can cultivate to that level all have the heart of the strong. They all want to become stronger. For us, the most important thing is to enjoy life and seek happiness. However, for them, the most important thing is to reach a higher level. Even if they fail, they will not regret it." Xiatian also had the heart of the strong.
However, his heart of the strong was different from those training maniacs.
His heart of the strong was to protect his family and friends.
As for those training maniacs, it was to pursue the highest level of the martial dao.
"Maybe. Life's pursuit is different. Like me, I hope for peace in the Spiritual Realm. Then, I will do the task given to me by the higher ups." The Cultivation Tower Elder was a person who was content with the status quo and liked to live a peaceful life.
"Oh, Elder, what kind of existence is above your Cultivation Tower? I heard that even the Five Emperors have to give you face. "Xiatian looked at the Cultivation Tower Elder with a smile.
"I can't say. You should ask something else. We can't say anything about the Cultivation Tower." The Cultivation Tower Elder completely ignored Xiatian.
"Alright, since you don't want to say, then forget it." Xiatian didn't like to force things. Moreover, he didn't need to know. He was just interested.
"En." The Cultivation Tower Elder nodded.
"If I want to know about the Five Gates of Life and Death, or about SS-rank mercenaries, where should I go?" Xia Chen had always wanted to become an SSS-level mercenary and build an SSS-level mercenary group. This way, he would be able to reach the peak of this world, and at that time, no one would dare to make things difficult for his family anymore. He would be able to easily go to the City of Justice and bring his mother back.
"Of course you should go to the Mercenary Union. However, if you want to know more, you have to at least become an S-rank mercenary. Otherwise, there are a lot of things you don't have the authority to know. Moreover, it is very difficult to become an S-rank mercenary. I know an S-rank mercenary. He had been a mercenary for a thousand years before he became an S-rank mercenary." The Cultivation Tower Elder explained.
"Oh, I have to become an S-rank mercenary first!!" Xiatian frowned. He was still a long way from becoming an S-rank mercenary. At the very least, he had to become an A-rank mercenary. Then, he had to find a way to complete the S-rank mercenary mission. Finally, he could be promoted to an S-rank mercenary.
At that time, he would naturally have the qualifications to know those things.
"En, including the top ten SS-rank mercenaries. They all walked step by step." The Cultivation Tower Elder said.
"En!!" Xiatian nodded. He wanted to wait until the Hero Assembly ended before he went to meet with Wei Yue and the others. At that time, they would do a lot of missions and promote their mercenary rank to S rank, then to SS rank, and finally to SSS rank. "Right, Elder, what is the information about the era of great geniuses on your table?"
"Oh, this thing was sent from above. I haven't looked at it yet." The Cultivation Tower Elder said and directly opened the document.
