The atmosphere was slightly heavy. Even though they knew that Fang Xing would help Ao Lie and the others, when they heard him personally say that he wanted to shoulder the grudges of the Dragon Clan on himself and fight a fierce battle to determine victory and defeat with the Nine-headed Bug, the hearts of everyone present couldn't help but ripple. Cultivators fought for their lives, cherished their lives, cultivated their bodies against the heavens, and did things according to the heavens. They were never willing to add too much karma to themselves. In a situation like this, any cultivator with the slightest bit of intellect would probably first care about their own safety after doing their part, and they would especially not forcefully fight for karma. Fang Xing, in everyone's hearts, was a person who was far more cunning and treacherous than others. Because of this, it was even more surprising when he unceremoniously shouldered the karma!
Especially when everyone realized that Fang Xing's words were filled with ruthlessness that disregarded everything!
Even the Dragon Mother and the others had to admit that with Fang Xing's current strength, it would be as easy as flipping his hand if he wanted to kill them!
Even if the Nine-headed Bug was by their side, it wouldn't be able to protect them!
The Nine-headed Bug held the lifelines of Fang Xing and Ao Lie, and right now, they were the lifelines of the Nine-headed Bug …
"Haha, even though I've heard of you a long time ago, I've never taken you to be my opponent. But now that I hear you say this, I really feel that perhaps we're fated opponents …" The Nine-headed Bug smiled slowly, and his wrinkled eyes revealed a hint of a smile.
The Nine-headed Bug slowly smiled, and there was a hint of a smile in his wrinkled eyes. He then nodded and said softly, "But look at what you've done. You've chased me all the way from Tian Yuan to here. You've grown from an ant at the beginning of his tribulation in Tian Yuan to a level that even I can't quite see through. I have to admit that you really do have the right to be my opponent … Your suggestion is not bad, but I'd like to ask, is a grudge more important, or is survival more important?"
"Of course killing you is more important …"
Ao Lie couldn't hold it in any longer, and he let out a low and urgent roar.
"Nonsense!"
Fang Xing glared at him, then looked at the Nine-headed Bug and said, "Of course, survival is the priority!"
Ao Lie glanced at Fang Xing gloomily and thought to himself, Why is he always not cooperating with me?
The Nine-headed Bug smiled more easily and nodded. "My thoughts are similar to yours. No matter what kind of grievances we have, we must first survive. This is also why I waited here for you for seven years, and when I discovered that you had mistakenly entered the Stele Ocean, not only did I not kill you while you were down, I even saved you, and did not hesitate to use the Nine Spirits Great Restore Pill to help you recover!"
"You recognized me long ago?"
Fang Xing was startled. He squinted his eyes and looked at the Nine-headed Bug.
The Nine-headed Bug smiled faintly and said, "I was only suspicious when we met, but when you tried to extort me of the Nine Spirits Pill, how could I not recognize you?"
Fang Xing was even more suspicious now, and he frowned. "Then why did you give me the pill?"
He was starting to believe the Nine-headed Bug's words. From the moment this old man appeared until he heard about his identity, his expression didn't change at all. It looked like he already knew everything, and he just didn't say anything …
"I gave you the pill because I really do want to help your companion Liao Shang!"
The Nine-headed Bug paused, and said, "Because I waited for seven years, and finally, there is someone who can help me …"
"Help you?"
This time, everyone was dumbfounded, and they looked at the Nine-headed Bug, not knowing what to do.
Just now, he was going to fight to the death, and now he said he needed someone to help him?
"Aye, I am not as lucky as you. I didn't know that the Door of Infinity was hidden under the mirror, so I had to travel through space to get here. I arrived at the end of the Path of Immortals, but I didn't expect to be stopped by the Ocean of Monuments in the third test. I've been trapped here for seven years. Ever since then, I've been waiting for you guys to come here. The heavens have not let me down.
The Nine-headed Bug's voice was very calm, and his wrinkled eyes revealed a real smile.
"So you were stopped by the third test of the Path of Immortals …"
Everyone came to a sudden realization and turned their heads to size up the Stele Sea around them. They had long guessed that this Stele Sea was definitely related to the trials the Dragon Tribe had set up on the Path of Immortality. Moreover, as the final trial, it would definitely not be easy to deal with. But even so, they did not expect the third trial to be so difficult. A character like the Nine-headed Bug could be considered to be omnipotent, but he was actually trapped in this trial for a full seven years!
"You want us to help you get through the third test of the Path of Immortals? Dream on! "
When Ao Lie heard what the Nine-headed Bug said, he gritted his teeth in anger.
Even the others who heard it thought it was ridiculous. They felt that the Nine-headed Bug was dreaming!
But the Nine-headed Bug had obviously cultivated a flawless Taoist Heart. He was shameless, but when he heard what Ao Lie said, he just smiled calmly and said, "There is no such thing as a dream, I just have to do it … I used seven days and still couldn't get through this test, so I could only wait for you guys to come. At that time, I was even weaker than that girl Ao Zhen. She was more confident in the Dao of our young friend, and said that he would definitely come. And when you guys came, I had no choice but to fight to the death with you, because the grudge of the Dragon Clan is pressing down on us, and there is no way out!"
When he spoke, his voice was terrifyingly calm, as if he was talking about someone else's business. "But if we can't get through this third test, I won't agree to fight with you. If you force it, I will kill the Dragon Lady first, and then kill the people around you one by one. You can kill my younger sister and my sons and nephews, but I believe that there are not many people around you left in my hands. The result is very likely that the two of us will fight to the death in this lonely starry sky. The loser will die, and the winner will be trapped here forever!"
"… And the best way is undoubtedly for us to join forces and break through the third test of the Dragon Clan, and get through this Path of Immortals. At that time, I promise you that I will release the Dragon Lady and abandon all the influence of others. Then, the two of us will fight with the three of you to settle the grudge. Haha, my young friend Fang, do you think this suggestion is to your liking?"
"How is this possible …"
Ao Lie was extremely annoyed, but he could not say anything, and he did not know how to refute.
Even Lu Sou and the others could not help but secretly nod, feeling that there was no better choice in the current situation.
On the other hand, the mixed-blood dragon children and grandchildren looked indignant, obviously unwilling to let the Dragon Queen help the Nine-headed Bug.
However, the Dragon Queen looked haggard, and after a long time, she could only sigh softly.
"How did you get trapped here?"
Fang Xing tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked directly.
"Because I am not strong enough!"
The Nine-headed Bug answered very quickly and frankly, as if it could not wait for Fang Xing to ask this question earlier. "The stone tablets in this region are still floating out from inside, and we have not entered the real Sea of Tablets yet. The third test of the Path of Immortals is the endless Sea of Tablets behind this mountain. There are green, red, white, gold, and purple stone tablets, densely packed and endless. The entire Sea of Tablets stretches across the starry sky, and it is no less than a hundred thousand miles deep. Every stone tablet contains supreme power, and each color represents a realm, and they are getting stronger and stronger. It is very difficult to deal with. In the past seven years, I have entered the Sea of Tablets thirteen times, and every time, I have failed. I could not go deeper, and instead, I have lost a lot of my lifespan. What I want you to help me is to comprehend how to get through this Sea of Tablets, and reach the other side of the Path of Immortals!"
"Densely packed stone tablets, ten thousand miles deep?"
When Lu Sou and the others heard this, they could not help but click their tongues, and their expressions changed.
This stretch of stone tablets was only green and red, and it was already so powerful. It was difficult to tell the direction, and it was difficult to move forward. How strong would the stone tablets be in the ten thousand miles deep Sea of Tablets, and how difficult the path would be? How could they possibly get through this?
On the other hand, the Great Void Baby was digging its nose with its chubby little hand, as if it already knew!
"Alright, let's discuss this, and there is no harm in sharing the results with you!"
Fang Xing glanced at the Great Void Baby, then turned to the Nine-headed Bug and said, "But before we decide on everything, shouldn't you express something?"
The Nine-headed Bug already had a plan in mind, and it was not afraid that Fang Xing and the others would not agree to it, so it appeared to be very calm. However, after hearing what Fang Xing said, it could not help but be slightly stunned, and said, "I have already given the Great Revitalizing Pill of Nine Spirits to Liao Shang, what else do you want me to express?"
As if it was afraid that Fang Xing would misunderstand, it explained, "However, when you pass this test, no matter what you need, feel free to ask. When I rushed here, I obtained some opportunities, and they were all left behind by the ancestors of the Dragon Tribe. If you need anything, feel free to take them. When you pass this test, if you need any help from me, feel free to ask. All grudges can be settled after we pass this test!"
Fang Xing pursed his lips, and thought that the Nine-headed Bug seemed to have been holding back for too long.
That's right, a person who wanted to become an Immortal, knowing that the other side was the Immortal Realm, and yet being trapped for so many years, it was really uncomfortable!
"Of course, we need those things, but more importantly …"
Fang Xing sighed, then pointed at the Nine-headed Bug and scolded, "Where's my wife, at least bring her here to see her!"
"Eh, hehe, I was careless …"
The Nine-headed Bug laughed at itself, then waved its sleeves, and said, "Come with me!"
As it spoke, it turned around and walked towards the other side of the huge mountain in the starry sky.
Fang Xing hurriedly followed behind, and Ao Lie didn't say a word and followed closely.
Although this huge mountain was called a mountain, in reality, it was like a huge planet in the starry sky. It was just that its overall shape had been refined by someone, and it was in the shape of a mountain. Although it was huge, with the cultivation of the people present, they walked very quickly. In about an hour, they had reached the back of the mountain, and soon, they saw a huge palace in front of them. Half of it was attached to the mountain, and the other half was floating in the starry sky. It was surrounded by divine light, and the arrays were like clouds. It was the Dragon Palace of the Cang Lan Sea …
"Big sister is inside?"
Ao Lie couldn't help but get excited. He was originally running very fast, but his footsteps couldn't help but slow down.
"I finally found her!"
Fang Xing, on the other hand, was very excited. After thinking for a while, he pulled out his hair, tore off his robe, and rubbed some mountain ash on his face. He used his spiritual energy to force his eyes to turn red, and acted like he was in a difficult situation. "Ah!" Then, he rushed forward while crying …
"Madam … Madam, where are you?"
