"You're too kind, Senior. How should I address you?"
Ning Qi did not seem to be angry at the old man's impoliteness. Instead, he smiled pleasantly.
"South Sea Turtle Riding Old Man."
The old man smiled and said his name.
"What a coincidence …"
Ning Qi first met the servant of the Profound Azure Mansion, then the old man. Both of them were big haters in the posts he posted, and now, he met them in real life. The former was fine since Ning Qi was not interested in the Profound Azure Mansion, and he was the one who scolded Li Si first. As for the latter …
"Ah, it's Senior Turtle Riding Old Man. My apologies."
Ning Qi cupped his hands and smiled.
The immortals nearby looked a little strange. Why did he call him Senior Turtle Riding Old Man instead of South Sea Senior?
Turtle Riding Old Man … That's a little indecent. The tortoise-riding old man frowned, but when he was certain that Ning Qi was not teasing him at all, a hint of displeasure flashed through his eyes and he smiled insincerely. "Young Brother Ning, you've already killed a Grand Luo at such a young age. Such a feat is enough to stand proudly even in the vast Immortal Realm.
However, if we show off our abilities and stand out from the crowd, we will easily attract disaster. "
Killed a Grand Luo?
Weren't there two?
Only then did everyone realize that this Grand Luo probably did not know that White Bones was stabbed to death by Ning Qi.
"Senior Turtle Riding Old Man worries too much."
Ning Qi smiled.
"I hope I'm just worrying too much."
The South Sea Turtle Riding Old Man smiled, a hint of imperceptible greed flashed in the depths of his eyes. Many people in the All-Heavens Forum were discussing the bow Ning Qi used to kill Jiang Wei, and the final conclusion was that it was probably an upper-grade Dao Artifact!
Not long after he arrived at the Ancestral Star, not only did he enter the second Divine Tomb, but he was also lucky enough to meet Ning Qi. How could he let go of such an opportunity?
If he could get his hands on that bow, his combat power would definitely increase by several levels. By then, he might even be able to fight against a Profound Immortal! "If he had that bow in his hand, I would definitely not be his opponent. However, although his cultivation is different from the rumors, he is already a peak Heaven Immortal. But if I attack from behind, he will definitely not be able to defend himself. By then, I'll interrogate him, and I believe he will definitely hand over the bow.
Hehe … "
"Turtle-riding Senior, can't you open the bronze gate?"
Ning Qi asked with a smile.
The turtle riding old man's thoughts were immediately pulled back. He glanced at the bronze gate and suppressed the urge to attack.
No one knew what was behind the bronze gate. Perhaps it was a fortuitous encounter, or perhaps it was a danger. No one knew how it would open or if it would open on its own. In such an environment filled with uncertainty, the old man did not plan on attacking Ning Qi so early. In truth, he was rather wary of Ning Qi aside from the entity behind the Bronze Door. His cultivation was worlds apart from Jiang Wei's, and if Jiang Wei was a prodigy amongst Grand Luo, he would be the bottom-feeder amongst Grand Luo, perhaps even a little weaker than the Grand Luo of the Homeworld.
After cultivating for so many years, he had only condensed two Dao Fruits, and it was only because he had obtained the All Heaven Talisman by chance that he had condensed the second Dao Fruit. Previously, he had only condensed one Dao Fruit at the Early-stage of the Perfected Golden Immortal Realm …
"Hmm, there's a hidden mechanism in this bronze door. Do you have any idea what it is?"
The turtle riding old man from the South Sea said with a smile.
"Senior, you're a Grand Luo. Can't you break it with brute force?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"This place is filled with danger. If I were to use brute force and trigger a backlash, wouldn't I be reduced to ashes even if I'm a Grand Luo?"
The turtle riding old man from the South Sea said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
While there was no ripple of mystic energy on the bronze door, who could guarantee that there was no special formation over it? One look was enough to tell that the Divine Mausoleum was no trifling matter, and the Lord of the Mausoleum must have been a great being when he was alive. With his ability, how difficult would it be for him to set up a formation that not even Grand Luo could see through?
"You're right, Senior. I've been thoughtless."
Ning Qi smiled lightheartedly.
After all, this old fellow was not as brainless as those on the Heavenly Forum.
"The Lord of the Mausoleum has refined puppets to guard the door, and he must be fond of mechanisms. As the top prodigy of the Homeworld who could slay even the Jiang Family's Grand Luo, you must be intelligent. Why don't you give it a try and see if you could open this bronze door?"
The turtle riding old man from the South Sea smiled.
Ning Qi's gaze fell upon the handle of the bronze door. His eyes twitched, and he went up to pull the handle.
"Hehe, young friend, do you think the Lord of the Mausoleum would let you open the bronze door so easily?"
There was a flash of mockery in the turtle riding old man's eyes, but he was inwardly delighted. Ning Qi did not appear to be very smart, suggesting that he could open the door with brute force, and now indulging in the wildest fantasies. Did he think that he could open the door just by pulling the handle? Still, the more foolish Ning Qi was, the happier he was!
Only a fool would do it!
That was the experience of the turtle riding old man over the years, and he had relied on it to forcefully ascend to Grand Luo despite many seniors of his sect looking down on him.
The turtle riding old man was not the only one who thought so. Everyone else seemed to share the same thought, and all of them appeared rather puzzled. The bronze door was clearly used to stop tomb raiders like them, so how could it be so easy …
Creak …
Ning Qi reached out and pulled the handle, quietly opening the eighth of the Nine Inner Hidden Gates. With a slight tug, the bronze door creaked as if it was decaying, and Ning Qi slowly pulled it open.
It opened?
Everyone was left dumbfounded.
How could it be so easy?
The turtle riding old man's face alternated between green and red, and then he used a smile to hide his embarrassment, laughing loudly. "To think that the Lord of the Mausoleum would play a joke on us, haha."
After a moment of surprise, everyone subconsciously took a few steps forward, wanting to see what was behind the bronze door. If it was still a long corridor, then they would be left in despair.
It was a huge hall. An extremely large hall, and through the gap in the door, everyone could see that there were many similar bronze doors. With a cursory glance, there were no less than a thousand of them, which was enough to prove that there were many more corridors like this one. The rest of the immortals might be behind those bronze doors.
On the other side …
There were a total of nine bronze chairs in the center of the huge hall. There was no one on them, and they were placed in the center of the empty hall, exuding an eerie aura from head to toe.
At that moment, the tortoise beneath the turtle riding old man's feet suddenly moved, silently bringing him closer to Ning Qi.
"Close!"
