Six days passed in the blink of an eye.
There were 21 groups with a total of 21 jade tokens. Seven groups should have passed the first round, but in the end, including Jian Ao's group, only four groups passed. The rest were all eliminated.
Other than Jian Ao, there was another group led by the leader of the Demonic Seed youths, a red-haired man. His luck was pretty good. The jade tokens he obtained were all from other Demonic Seed youths. The remaining two groups were led by the Demon King and his companions.
Four groups, eight people. They were standing in a large hall outside Mount Yinyang.
The eight of them were obviously geniuses, especially the Demonic Seed youths. It was very rare for them to pass the first round as Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators.
The eight of them did not speak to each other. They just waited quietly.
Zhong Shan stood beside Jian Ao and looked at the hall carefully.
The hall was very ordinary. There was nothing special about it. All unrelated people were asked to stay ten miles away from the hall.
There was a black chair in the center of the hall. The back of the chair was very high and the material was very strange. At least Zhong Shan could not tell what it was.
Just as Zhong Shan was staring at the black chair, a figure suddenly appeared on the black chair.
It was as if the person had appeared out of thin air and appeared on the chair. It was very sudden and mysterious. At the same time, it was obvious that the person's cultivation was very strong.
There was only one person in the Netherworld Heaven who could have appeared so abruptly that even Zhong Shan couldn't see through it. That person was the Heavenly Lord of the Netherworld Heaven, Nangong Sheng!
Nangong Sheng was dressed in white. His body was a little slender, and his fair hands were placed on the armrests, revealing his purple fingernails. His face was slightly pale, and there was a red line between his eyebrows, causing people to feel as if they were sinking into it. His expression was indifferent as he swept his gaze over the crowd.
"Greetings, Lord!" The four from Hades Heaven bowed at the same time.
"Greetings, Lord Nangong Sheng." Zhong Shan and the other four assistants also greeted him out of courtesy.
Nangong Sheng looked at the crowd indifferently. However, when he saw Zhong Shan, his pupils shrank and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. It was as if he had discovered Zhong Shan's secret, but also as if he couldn't see through Zhong Shan.
After taking a deep look at Zhong Shan, Nangong Sheng stopped looking at him and said, "Congratulations on passing the first round."
"The Torch Flame Inheritance has a total of two stages. The first stage is to see if you have the strength to accept the inheritance. All of you have passed. As for the second stage, you don't have to risk your life, "Nangong Sheng said.
Everyone listened quietly, listening to the rules of the second stage.
"The Yin-Yang Mountains are my Daoist rite temple," Nangong Sheng said. "Just a moment ago, I cleared out all the miscellaneous people, and placed a large number of magical treasures inside. All of them were created by me. You have ten days to enter and search for the magical treasures I created. The person who gets the most will be the next Heaven Lord."
Looking for something? Was the one who found the most the Heavenly Master? Whoever was lucky would become the Heavenly Master?
Everyone was in disbelief. This, this was too childish, right? How could he do this?
Nangong Sheng glanced at the expressions on everyone's faces. "I know what all of you are thinking. However, the reason why the Netherworld Heaven was able to survive until now wasn't solely because of strength. Otherwise, why would the powerful Pure Lands collapse?"
Hearing Nangong Sheng's words, everyone raised their eyebrows.
"In addition to strength, there's also luck. Passing the first stage proves that you don't lack strength, so it depends on your luck. If the next Heaven Lord is like Gui Yuan Buddha, who has great strength but no luck, Hades Heaven will follow in the footsteps of the Pure Lands sooner or later. With luck, danger can be turned into nothing. As for why I asked the four of you to find an assistant, it also depends on your luck. If you have bad luck in finding magical treasures, but your allies have good luck. If your allies have good luck, then you have good luck. From your luck, I can see the future of Hades Heaven in the hands of the people inside," Nangong Sheng said.
Everyone remained silent about Nangong Sheng's theory. Although they didn't agree, who asked him to be the Heaven Lord?
"Go, I'll find you in ten days! I hope you don't disappoint me! "Nangong Sheng said indifferently.
"Yes!" Everyone immediately responded. Then, they turned around and rushed out of the hall, entering the Yin-Yang Realm Mountain.
Looking at their backs, Nangong Sheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhong Shan, who was beside Jian Ao. There was a strange look in his eyes.
Compared to six days ago, the Yin-Yang Realm Mountain looked even gloomier. Endless dark clouds covered the mountain, making it look even more sinister. Above the dark clouds, lightning flashed. It looked as if heaven and earth were angry. It was very awkward.
As they entered the Yin-Yang Realm Mountain, Zhong Shan saw several different colored thunderbolts in the distant sky.
"Jian Ao, what's Nangong Sheng's cultivation?" Zhong Shan asked in a low voice.
Jian Ao turned his head and looked at Zhong Shan. Everyone knew that Nangong Sheng's cultivation was in the Heaven Realm. Why did Zhong Shan ask?
Looking at Jian Ao's expression, Zhong Shan sighed and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it!"
The two of them entered the Yin-Yang Realm Mountain.
They were officially looking for the treasures left behind by Nangong Sheng.
"What's so special about the treasures left behind by Nangong Sheng?" Zhong Shan asked.
"They all have his aura, just like this!" Jian Ao took out the jade pendant that he had obtained in the first round. He used his Dharma power to force it, and a strange purple smoke appeared.
Zhong Shan scanned it with his Mind Sense and remembered the aura.
"I'll make the decision. Any treasures you find will belong to you after this," Jian Ao said with certainty.
"Hehe, then it would be impolite for me to refuse." Zhong Shan didn't argue and immediately nodded.
Indeed, if Zhong Shan could help Jian Ao obtain the inheritance, why would Jian Ao care about those 'external items'?
"We'll meet here in two days!" Jian Ao said.
"Okay!" Zhong Shan nodded.
Then, the two of them quickly separated. After all, the area of search would be wider.
Treasures left behind by Nangong Sheng?
The Yin-Yang Realm Mountain was huge. It would be very difficult to find a treasure that was lost in a corner. The group didn't waste any time. They quickly flew in all directions and released their Mind Sense.
The treasures were hidden very well. After a whole day, Zhong Shan and his hundreds of Shadow Doppelgangers didn't find anything.
There were hundreds of Shadow Doppelgangers. Although each Shadow Doppelganger only searched for two hours, it was equivalent to others searching for dozens of days. How could they not find anything?
The Shadow Doppelganger sat in a valley and pondered. If they couldn't find anything after dozens of days, how could they find it within the time limit of ten days? Could it be that they had to rely on luck?
On the second day, the Shadow Doppelganger was released again. Suddenly, one of the Shadow Doppelganger found a treasure. It was a small golden bowl with Nangong Sheng's aura.
However, the treasure was hidden very well. It was hidden deep underground in a valley.
What? If it wasn't for the Shadow Doppelganger's ability to burrow underground, how could they find it?
Two days passed in a flash. Zhong Shan and Jian Ao met up again.
"Where did you find it?" Jian Ao's face lit up with joy.
When Zhong Shan told him the location, Jian Ao looked at Zhong Shan strangely. He found it by digging a thousand meters underground? It wasn't just because the treasure was hidden deep. It was also because of Zhong Shan's abnormal luck. It was hidden a thousand meters underground in a valley in the Endless Mountains. How could he find it? His luck was too strong.
"I was right!" Jian Ao looked at Zhong Shan and said excitedly.
"Eh?"
"Back then, Chu Jiu saw your bone structure. Your bone structure … Sigh, I won't talk about it. Logically speaking, it's impossible to reach the Nascent Soul Realm. However, you reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm in just a few decades. At that time, I guessed that you must have extraordinary luck. Otherwise, it's impossible for you to reach the Ultimate Emperor Realm. Moreover, you did it so quickly. I wasn't wrong. Your luck is heaven-defying. Even if I searched for a year, I might not be able to find this golden bowl. "Jian Ao sighed.
Eh? Zhong Shan looked at Jian Ao strangely. So Jian Ao asked him to come here because of his luck?
Zhong Shan wanted to say that he didn't rely on luck to grow so quickly. It was more about his strength and intelligence. However, would Jian Ao believe him?
"Searching like this isn't a solution!" Zhong Shan thought about it and said.
Jian Ao nodded. If his group could find it, others would be able to find it too. If they were lucky, they might find eight or ten of them. His group would lose.
"What idea do you have?" Jian Ao asked.
"Two days ago, did Nangong Sheng say that this is his training ground?" Zhong Shan asked.
"That's right. The Heaven Master usually lives in this Yin Yang Mountain." Jian Ao nodded.
"Then let's go and raid his house!" Zhong Shan's eyes flashed with wisdom.
Raid his house? Jian Ao's expression turned strange again. Raid the Heaven Master's house? Only Zhong Shan could say something like that.
"What's wrong? The treasures with Nangong Sheng's aura must be in his residence. As long as we get there, we can get as many as we want. Even if we tear down his house, it's still a treasure! "The more Zhong Shan spoke, the more he felt that this idea was feasible.
Tear down the Heaven Master's house? Jian Ao was shocked by Zhong Shan's idea. No matter how arrogant he was, even if he was the Heaven Master in his previous life, he would not dare to think like that.
Nangong Sheng was the Heaven Master of this generation of the Hades Heaven. Jian Ao had never seen through him. This Nangong Sheng gave him a mysterious feeling, as if he was hidden in a fog. Even though he had met some other Heaven Realm experts, they did not give him the same feeling as Nangong Sheng.
Were they going to tear down Nangong Sheng's house?
"Nothing. It's just that we might not be able to do it." Jian Ao took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Why?" Zhong Shan raised his eyebrows. Zhong Shan was lawless. Although he could not see through Nangong Sheng, he was never afraid of anything.
"I went to the Heaven Master's residence once in the past two days. Although I did not think of tearing down his house, I thought of entering the Heaven Master's residence to take some treasures. However, when I got there, I found that the Heaven Master had already made preparations!" Jian Ao frowned.
"Preparations?"
"The Heaven Master used a very powerful illusory array to cover his residence. The Heaven Master is known as the top array master in the Divine Land. If he used an array to cover it, no one would be able to enter. "Jian Ao shook his head.
The top array master in the Divine Land, Nangong Sheng?
Zhong Shan frowned and thought for a while. Finally, he shook his head and said, "No matter what, take me there!" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
