In the blink of an eye.
The scene in front of the trio changed. What appeared in front of them was a field of flowers and grassland. There were many living beings living in the endless grassland, but after the trio released their spiritual senses to observe, they found that these were not real living beings but mechanical puppets of various animal types.
Whoosh …
A figure flickered lightning-fast and instantly appeared in front of the trio. Even though Gu Yan 'er was a Golden Immortal Stage powerhouse, she was still startled by the speed of this person. However, when the other stopped 100 meters away, the trio found that it was also a mechanical puppet, just that it was a humanoid one.
"Welcome to the Immortal Sieve Realm."
The mechanical puppet's eyes glowed with green light as it spoke with its metallic voice.
"You said this is the Immortal Sieve Realm?" Tan Xiu frowned. "What are you?"
"I'm not a thing. I'm an alchemy puppet. This is indeed the Immortal Sieve Realm, the 11th floor of the Celestial Pole World. You don't have any alumina aura on you, so I'm sure that you were directly teleported to the 10th floor and then entered this 11th floor through the vortex portal. "
Tan Xiu's expression changed and he hurriedly asked, "What did you say? This is the Celestial Pole World? "
"Yes. The 11th floor of the Celestial Pole World," answered the mechanical puppet.
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The Celestial Pole Oldster has been missing for … 8,000 years. It should be 8,000 years. You said this is the Celestial Pole World of the Celestial Pole Oldster. Is he dead? "
The mechanical puppet fell into silence for a while before two glittering and translucent Immortal Crystal Essences fell from its eye sockets. Its tone also turned somewhat human as it said, "Do you know my Master? My Master is dead. He died from a heart demon. It's strange that my alchemy tablet doesn't have any explanation about a heart demon. In short, my Master is dead and left this world. Also, my Master said to wait for the fated one. "
Tan Xiu clenched his fists, and a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. In the past, he had just gotten rid of his status as a playboy and successfully became a Mysterious Celestial Stage Expert. Then, he met the Celestial Pole Old Man in a dangerous and desperate situation. At that time, the Celestial Pole Old Man was just a Golden Celestial Stage Expert. Both of them didn't face any extreme danger, so they joined hands and escaped. From then on, he and the Celestial Pole Old Man became close friends. Tan Xiu even received many pointers from the Celestial Pole Old Man in terms of cultivation.
"I didn't expect you to fall here."
Tan Xiu's heart was filled with bitterness. He looked at the mechanical puppet in front of him and nodded. "Since Celestial Pole Oldman left his immortal fate here, there should be a test, right? Tell me what the test is. I'll give it a try. "
The mechanical puppet said, "You haven't answered my question. Do you know my master?"
Tan Xiu said, "Yes, we are old friends who fought side by side. It's just that I didn't expect him to perish here eight thousand years ago. "
"You're wrong," said the mechanical puppet. "My master has fallen 8,821 years ago."
Tan Xiu didn't care about such a trivial matter with the mechanical puppet and said, "It's been too long. I don't know the specific time of his death."
"It's a bit troublesome if you want to participate in the trial," said the mechanical puppet. "Let me think about it. The rule set by my master is that only Celestial Immortals can come here, so the lowest trial takers must be weak Celestial Immortals. You're just an ordinary Immortal who hasn't experienced the Earth Immortal Tribulation, Celestial Immortal Tribulation, or Golden Immortal Tribulation. I don't know how to arrange the trial for you. "
"My main purpose for coming here is the Auric Profusion Source," said Tan Xiu. "You just need to tell me what kind of test I need to pass to get the Auric Profusion Source."
"The Auric Profusion Source is on the seventh floor, but it's just a very poor cultivation resource," said the mechanical puppet. "You're willing to use Immortal Crystals to activate the spatial teleportation array, which means that you have a lot of wealth. Do you really need that kind of poor cultivation resource?"
Tan Xiu understood what the mechanical puppet meant. If he was still a Supreme in the Immortal World, the Auric Profusion Source would indeed be very poor for him. But the problem was that he was only comparable to a Celestial Immortal at most, and he was extremely poor. He also had an empire with more than 200,000 cultivators to train. The Auric Profusion Source was already a very good treasure for him.
"I do need it."
Tan Xiu nodded.
"You don't need to take any test from the first to the ninth floor. You can take anything you want," said the mechanical puppet.
Upon hearing this, Tan Xiu immediately asked, "How can I pass the final test? Since it's my old friend's pocket world, I want to take it with me."
"You're not qualified to participate in the trial, but the two beside you can," said the mechanical puppet. "But the trial is very dangerous. 49,872 Immortals have come here to take the trial, and a total of 37,216 people died in the trial. All the trial-takers at the Golden Immortal Stage have fallen. "
Tan Xiu's heart tightened. He was well aware of Celestial Pole Geezer's ability. If he hadn't fallen prematurely, he would've had a chance to break through to the Supremacy Stage.
"I want to try it, Master."
Gu Yan 'er said with a calm expression.
Tan Xiu slightly furrowed his brows. He thought for a while and said, "I know you want to participate in the trial, Yan 'er. But I'm afraid this trial can't be completed in a short time. Besides, we still have important things to do, so we don't have much time to waste here. If you really want to participate in the trial, I'll accompany you again after we've settled down in the future. "
Gu Yan 'er thought for a while and nodded. "I'll listen to you, Master."
Tan Xiu looked at the mechanical puppet and asked with a smile, "Why did we teleport directly to the tenth floor? This friend of mine has also been here before, but they were directly teleported to the first floor. "
"That's because they used Immortal Stones to activate the teleportation array, not Immortal Crystals. Actually, this is a test of 'sacrifice'. If you're willing, you'll be able to obtain the items from the first nine floors. If you're unwilling, you'll have to go through the trials one floor at a time. "
Tan Xiu revealed a strange expression. Previously, he was only afraid that the Transmission array would not allow them to return, so he used the Spiritual crystal. He did not expect that by a freak combination of factors, he would actually pass the outermost test. He turned to look at You Zhong. Looking at You Zhong's lifeless face, he suddenly felt like crying and laughing.
Now.
This guy was probably regretting it so much that his intestines had turned green, right?
If they had been willing to do the same, not only would they not have died, but they would have also obtained many treasures and escaped unscathed.
Tan Xiu looked at the mechanical puppet again and said, "Send us to the ninth floor! In a while, we'll collect some things and leave. "
Two beams of red light shot out of the mechanical puppet's eyes and a whirlpool portal appeared in front of the three. "The immortals have collected most of the items from the first nine floors, but there's still some Auric Profusion left. I hope you'll be satisfied."
"Thanks a lot!"
Tan Xiu slightly smiled and immediately stepped into the whirlpool portal.
The ninth floor.
The eighth time.
…
The first floor.
Tan Xiu and Gu Yan 'er simply searched every inch of the place. In just two days, they had collected all the items in the first nine floors and put them into interspatial rings. If someone else came here again, they would not be able to get any treasures from the first nine floors.
Immediately after …
The three of them stepped on the return teleportation array and reappeared on the ground. Tan Xiu said with satisfaction, "I thought we would have to go through some crises, but I didn't expect that a temporary idea would save us so much effort. Although the first nine floors have been visited by many people, we still got a lot of treasures, much more than the wealth we plundered before. It's a pity that there's too little time, else I'd have asked the Aurelian Artificer Sect to refine more weapons for us. "
"Let's not talk about other things, just the Auric Profusion Source alone has more than 100 portions," Gu Yan 'er said with a smile. "I'm afraid we can sell it for 100,000 Immortal Crystals if we were to casually sell it."
Tan Xiu nodded and sighed, "Although robbery is the fastest way to get money, the wealth we can rob is also limited! After all, there are still many poor people in the Immortal World. If we take the risk, we might be able to get a very huge amount of wealth. "
You Zhong, who was at the side, also obtained a portion of the Auric Profusion Source and several other treasures that were very useful to him. But thinking back to the time when he used the Immortal Stone to inlay it into the groove to activate the teleportation array, he felt depressed.
If …
If he could get a lot of treasures last time, he might have the hope to break through to the Profound Immortal Stage now. Or rather, he would have become a Profound Immortal powerhouse.
How could Tan Xiu not see You Zhong's depression? He patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't be depressed. If you used Immortal Crystals last time, you might not have come out alive."
You Zhong was stunned and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Tan Xiu said lightly, "Think about it. If you used Immortal Crystals last time, even if you didn't accept the trial later and directly searched for treasures in the first nine floors, wouldn't your companions be jealous? Wouldn't your companions be jealous of such a huge amount of wealth? Some people are very selfish and want to take it all for themselves. How big of a chance do you think you would have to escape alive? "
A glint flashed in You Zhong's eyes and most of his depressed mood immediately disappeared. He knew that Tan Xiu was right. His companions couldn't fully trust each other at the beginning. If any of them were to harbor evil thoughts at the sight of wealth, he might really fall inside.
"Thank you."
You Zhong cupped his fists and said.
"You don't need to thank me. Just remember my advice." Tan Xiu smiled and said, "Don't ever regret anything you've chosen in the future. Regret is useless and will only affect your state of mind instead. If you're right, then you're right. If you're wrong, then you're wrong. Only by having no complaints or regrets can you open your heart and welcome a better future. "
You Zhong smiled and nodded. Then, he suddenly said, "Great Tang Immortal Friend, it's really a waste of your talent that you didn't establish your own sect and become an Immortal Master of your sect."
Pfft …
Gu Yan 'er at the side couldn't help but laugh.
