Ye Xiwen did not say anything. He just looked at the old man coldly. He wanted a reasonable explanation.
"Don't be angry, my friend. I have my reasons for doing this!" The old man in the red robe laughed.
He looked at Ye Xiwen and said, "It's like this. This time, I've invited a few powerful friends to explore the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace. I wonder if you're interested?"
"Dark Sky Ghost Palace?" Ye Xiwen frowned.
"Don't you know about the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace? It seems that you are from the outside! " The old man in the red robe said. "Let me introduce myself first. People call me the Red Robe Old Monster. I am stationed in the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace all year round!"
"Oh, it's Brother Red Robe. I am the Deadly Scholar!" Ye Xiwen said.
The old man in the red robe was confused. As far as he knew, there was no one called the Deadly Scholar among the experts who had cultivated to their level.
It was highly likely that he was an old monster who had been cultivating for many years and had only just come out of seclusion. After all, although the Divine Mirage Sand was precious, it was something that happened countless years ago. After the Mirage Plane was destroyed, the Divine Mirage Sand became a very scarce resource.
Divine objects or divine weapons that originally required the Illusory Divine Sand had also been eliminated by the passage of time.
Although the Illusory Divine Sand was still precious, it was far less valuable than it had been in the past.
This was because there were very few people who needed the Illusory Divine Sand to practice anything. It was only possible if they got their hands on an ancient cultivator's recipe.
He did not have such a recipe. Although he had the Illusory Divine Sand, he did not pay too much attention to it.
However, it was also possible that the so-called Deadly Scholar was just a pseudonym. Just like the Red Robe Old Monster, it was just a nickname and not his real name.
However, there was no other way. This kind of exploration must be carried out by people he was familiar with. It was not easy to find people at their level.
"Brother Deadly Bookworm, it seems like you don't come here often, so you don't know much about this place. The Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace is actually located in the deepest part of the Gloomy Sky Ghost Realm. It is said that there was once a ferocious ghost whose cultivation was close to that of a Ghost Emperor. He unified the Gloomy Sky Ghost Realm and spent a thousand years cultivating the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace!" "The Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace is also known as the Ten Thousand Ghost Palace, where countless terrifying ghosts gather. Later, it was destroyed by an Imperial Emperor and sealed. However, in recent years, a part of the seal on the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace has been gradually corroded. Every 10,000 years, the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace will come into the world again."
"Do you mean that you want me to enter the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace with you?" Ye Xiwen asked.
"That's right, Fellow Daoist is a straightforward person. That's exactly what we mean. Fellow Daoist, don't you want to find the Illusory Sky Divine Sand? I obtained the Illusory Sky Divine Sand from the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace!" The red-robed old man said. "I have some on hand, but not much. I think you will need more than this if you want to refine a divine tool!"
The red-robed eccentric flipped his hands, and in an instant, a burst of light erupted from his hands. Countless colorful grains of divine sand flowed in his hands. Thousands of tiny grains of divine sand twined around his hands like a colorful river, flowing continuously.
However, when these Divine Sand condensed, Ye Xiwen found that they were only the size of a fist. As the Red Robe Old Monster said, there was not much.
Ye Xiwen thought about it for a while. [Relying on such a small amount of Illusory Heavenly God Sand isn't enough if I want to refine the Border Crossing Talisman. It seems that I must go to this Muddy Sky Ghost Palace. It's better this way. It's better to have a companion than to wander around in confusion.]
Of course, he had absolute confidence in his cultivation. Even if the Red Robe Old Monster wanted to plot against him, he could escape unscathed.
Moreover, the starting point mentioned in the ghost slip he had just obtained was in the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace.
"Well, if that's the case, then let's go together!" Ye Xiwen nodded.
"Fellow is straightforward. Then, I will give these Divine Sand to you first!" The Red Robe Old Monster was also very straightforward. He directly turned the Divine Sand into a ray of light and shot it towards Ye Xiwen.
Ye Xiwen directly grabbed it into the Tianyuan Mirror and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will take it and leave?"
"What's there to be afraid of? As the saying goes, don't doubt the people you use. I believe that with your cultivation, you won't do anything irrational for such a small amount of Illusory Sky Divine Sand. Even if you do, it's no big deal. You'll just lose some Illusory Sky Divine Sand!" The red-robed old monster said indifferently.
"Fellow is straightforward. Then, when will we set off?" Ye Xiwen asked.
"Now is the time in the Gloomy Sky Ghost Realm. The Yin wind is blowing fiercely. It is not suitable to go in. We will set off in three days. I will inform you at that time!" The Red Robe Old Monster said.
"That's good. Just inform me at that time!" Ye Xiwen nodded.
Now that he knew the whereabouts of the Divine Sand, Ye Xiwen was not in a hurry. In the next three days, he directly left the market square and found a hidden place to study this ghost slip.
There were many things in this ghost slip that he hadn't understood before. However, he had gained a more detailed understanding of these things in the past three days.
This was a small map. It was like a small secret territory. The starting point was in the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace. Even so, the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace was actually very big. There were many things contained in it. If he did not have this small map, it would not be so easy to enter that place by accident.
However, he did not know what was in the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace that was worth making such a map. However, he could vaguely see from the ghost slip that it was definitely not something simple.
Three days later, Ye Xiwen finally received the Message Talisman from the Red Robe Old Monster. Both sides directly met at a place thousands of miles away from the market square.
This time, the Red Robe Old Monster did not appear alone. Instead, he appeared with three other people. Among these three people, two of them were obviously a couple. The man looked middle-aged and the woman looked like a beautiful woman.
Ye Xiwen took a closer look. It turned out to be two flood dragons. This was a bit strange.
It was not that the Dragon Race could not cultivate to such a high realm. Generally, when a dragon reached such a high realm, the bloodline in their body would have long been purified and directly transformed into a real dragon.
And these two flood dragons, one was water and one was fire. They completely retained the bloodline of the flood dragons. However, they did not transform into real dragons. Ye Xiwen did not know why.
In addition to the water and fire flood dragons, there was also a red-gold ant that was taller than a person. It looked extremely powerful.
It turned out to be an extremely rare Metal-eating Ant.
This race was also an extremely rare race in the universe, but their bloodline was very strong. There were not many of them, but every one of them was considered a master.
These people were all at the pinnacle of the Sage Plane. However, it seemed that they were still far away from the Titled King Plane.
"Fellow Daoist Life Stealing Scholar is here. That's great. Now that everyone is here, let me introduce them to everyone. This is Fellow Daoist Life Stealing Scholar. He specializes in the Law of Lightning!" The red-robed old monster introduced.
The three of them looked at Ye Xiwen and sized him up. Ye Xiwen had restrained his aura, so they could not see his strength. However, they could still feel a shocking pressure coming from him. He was indeed a rare master.
This was also because Ye Xiwen did not want to be too ostentatious. After all, it was not impossible for him to defeat someone at the pinnacle of the Sage Plane with the strength of a Sage Plane Intermediate Stage. However, it would cause too many people to worry about him. Now that he had concealed his level, they would only think that he was an ordinary Sage Plane Pinnacle Stage.
"Sir Deadly Bookworm, let me introduce you. These three are Sir Deadly Bookworm, Sir Deadly Bookworm, and Sir Deadly Bookworm!" The Red Robe Old Monster introduced them one by one.
Ye Xiwen looked over and saw that the man was actually a water dragon, and not an ordinary one at that. It seemed that he had cultivated in the laws of ice, and was a variant of the water dragons.
As for his partner, the fire flood dragon, he was not to be trifled with. The fiery aura that emanated from his body even made Ye Xiwen feel somewhat fearful.
As for the Metal-eating Ant, it seemed to have the laws of power fluctuating around it. It did not look big, but it should have been very strong.
"Since everyone is here, then Sir Deadly Bookworm, I think you should tell me what the real purpose of your trip is, right?" Ye Xiwen asked.
"Did the Red Robe Old Monster not tell you?" The Metal-eating Ant looked at Ye Xiwen strangely.
"I was careless!" The Red Robe Old Monster laughed and said, "In that case, I will say it again. In fact, all of you can say that you have already cultivated to the peak of your current cultivation. Take me for example, I have been stuck in this realm for more than a million years. However, I have not made any progress at all. If we rely on ourselves to make another breakthrough and kill our way into the King-Ranked Realm, it is no different from wishful thinking. Therefore, we must have sufficient fortuitous encounters!"
Ye Xiwen faintly understood why these top-notch experts had gathered here. He was afraid that there must be a reason for them to do so.
"Is there anything in the Gloomy Sky Ghost Palace that can help us break through to the King-Ranked Realm?" Ye Xiwen asked without batting an eyelid. Deep down, he was extremely tempted. One had to know that even at his current level, he wouldn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to cross the threshold of the King-Ranked Realm. That would require endless accumulation and sufficient opportunities. Right now, an opportunity was right in front of him.
