Chapter 586

While Mengqi was having mixed feelings, the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms continued,

"Main task: Survive."

"As long as you can survive to the eighth day, you can return. Each survivor will be rewarded with 1,000 Karma points."

"There is no evaluation for this task. Each survivor will be rewarded with a Samsara talisman."

Samsara talisman? This was exactly what Mengqi had been longing for. With it, he could start the first step of the Zhenwu Great Emperor's serial task!

"The reward of the Death Task is really generous …" He couldn't help sighing. The more generous the reward, the greater the danger!

"Journey to the West?" Jiang Zhiwei frowned slightly.

Mengqi's heart skipped a beat. "Zhiwei, have you heard of the Journey to the West?"

"No." Jiang Zhiwei didn't shake her head. "I just feel strange. Why would the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms introduce the Journey to the West? It should have nothing to do with our task 800 years ago."

Zhang Yuanshan nodded. "Junior Sister Jiang is right. According to the usual practice, the world introduced is related to the main task. For example, the task of 'survive' only needs to describe the demon chaos in the world. Talking about the Journey to the West 800 years ago is superfluous."

"Maybe the Journey to the West is related to many side tasks …" Luo Shengyi, who had the most experience in missions, said thoughtfully.

Mengqi saw that they didn't know about the Journey to the West, and the current main task seemed to have nothing to do with it. He suppressed his doubts and said in a low voice, "We only have 15 minutes. We have to get ready as soon as possible."

The preparation was self-evident. The demon chaos in the world must be eliminated to protect oneself!

Everyone nodded and walked to the Central Light Pillar together to exchange their gains for Karma points.

In addition to the Purple Death that had "turned" into a belt, Mengqi had the Ghost Shadow Sword, the Evil God Eye, and several bladesmanship scripts that he had bought in Yedu under the pretext of polishing his bladesmanship. For this, he had sold a land deed in River East and a house deed in Luoyang.

Jiang Zhiwei, for example, was holding two Refined Weapons and a heart-shaped object that looked like it was made of gold or wood but was not made of gold or wood at the same time.

"Zhiwei, what is this?" Mengqi asked curiously.

Jiang Zhiwei smiled and said, "The 'Heart' of Heartless Strongman."

Seeing Meng Qi's surprise, she explained, "The skill of the Smelling Sect is unique. It combines Kung Fu, Shen Dao, Ghost Dao, Buddhism Heterodox Path, and ancient witchcraft. There are many mysteries. Although the Heartless Strongman is called 'heartless', he has trained his' heart 'into a god-like thing, wandering in his body. If you can't pick out this heart, you can only seriously injure him at most.

As she spoke, she exchanged the "heart" of the Heartless Fighter for Karma points, which amounted to 600, which made Meng Qi envious. Adding the two Refined Weapons, she had a total of 920 Karma points.

As he was about to say something, he saw Ruan Yushu pull. Ruan Yushu took out a script scripts and Weapons. made. Meng. Jiang Ming Hao.. by Weapons.

"Long as" M Mengqi said. "X."

Ruan Yushu's long hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She raised her head slightly.

There were ten of them, which added up to 1,300 Karma points.

"What a rich man …" Meng Qi cursed silently.

Zhang Yuanshan had left the mountain to travel. He had 830 Karma points. Fu Zhenzhen was not bad either. She had not found many scripts of enlightening the Apertures, but she knew how to make elixirs and make poisons. Now they had to face the Demon Tribe. Many poisons were useless, so she gave them to the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms. She had 890 Karma points, more than Zhang Yuanshan.

Luo Shengyi had spent most of the year opening Nine Apertures. He had a hard time as a Rogue Cultivator, so he only had 610 Karma points. Ge Huai 'en had 430 Karma points.

Qi Zhengyan took advantage of Yedu and Mengqi's help. He had 650 Karma points.

Mengqi kept the Evil God's Eye and threw the Ghost Shadow Sword and several scripts of bladesmanship into the light beam. He got 670 Karma points.

Then he put the Evil God's Eye in and asked for identification. He had planned to find a place like the Treasure Pavilion in Yedu to determine the use of the Evil God's Eye and see if he could refine something suitable without the help of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms. However, in the first half of the year, he focused on his cultivation and waited for Qi Zhengyan to exchange the gemstones for notes. In the second half of the year, he became a knife maniac in Yedu. It would be easy to associate the Evil God's Eye with the Gentleman Sword.

"The Evil God's Eye is condensed by an immature Evil God. It's made of precious materials. It can be refined into a vertical eye between the eyebrows. It has the power of Kanxu and can shoot out 'Soul-shaking Divine Light'. However, evil Qi will invade the brain and invade the Vital Spirit, making it painful and cruel. It can also be refined with related materials into a 'God-defeating Eye'. It can be used twice to attack the Vital Spirit. It's at the level of Half-step Exterior Scenery. It's worth 560 Karma points."

Mengqi took a light breath and was a little hesitant. He definitely did not want to become bloodthirsty and cruel. He mainly considered refining the 'God-defeating Eye' or exchanging it for Karma points.

"Attacking the Vital Spirit is definitely effective against the demon race. Moreover, it's at the level of Half-step Exterior Scenery …" Mengqi paid 10 Karma points to search for related materials.

"It needs Soul-falling Wood and Sunward Grass … a total of 90 Karma points." The related materials were very cheap, which was a little out of Mengqi's expectation. However, he soon felt relieved. After all, the main material was the Evil God's Eye.

"If you want to refine the 'God-defeating Eye', you need an extra 230 Karma points."

Seeing the total required Karma points, Mengqi became more hesitant. Although he had been practicing under the stupa for a long time and had the ability to resist Demon Odor, he did not need to prepare related materials. Fu Zhenzhen was responsible for the normal healing elixirs, so he did not need to exchange for them himself. However, he wanted a Recover Pill. In the Death Task, it was equivalent to an extra life!

Therefore, he did not have enough Karma points …

"I still need 160 Karma points …" Mengqi considered giving up the 'God-defeating Eye'. After all, he had the Purple Death and the Thunderbolt Mark attached to him.

"Do you need Karma points?" Jiang Zhiwei asked with a smile when she saw Mengqi's hesitation.

Mengqi gently nodded, but did not mention how many Karma points he needed. This was not like the past, where he could borrow dozens of Karma points easily.

"How many?" Jiang Zhiwei asked indifferently.

Seeing her firm eyes, Mengqi took a breath and said, "160 Karma points."

"I can exchange for a Recover Pill. Zhenzhen can count on me for the rest. I'll lend the rest to you …" Jiang Zhiwei paused as if she had made up her mind. Then she said loudly, "I have a suggestion about this Death Task."

"What is it?" Everyone looked at Jiang Zhiwei as they were considering what they needed to exchange.

Jiang Zhiwei's expression was firm. She was neither majestic nor pleading. "Demons wreak havoc in the world, and there are many monsters at the level of Half-step Exterior Scenery or Exterior Scenery. Our Karma points are limited. If we exchange them separately, we won't be able to exchange for good things. The effect may not be good. I suggest that each of us exchange for a Recover Pill as a life-saving item. Then, we can concentrate our Karma points and exchange them for two or three precious items that can restrain demons. If you don't have enough Karma points to exchange for a Recover Pill, I'll make up for it. There's no need to return it."

In the face of the Death Task, she was very generous and calm.

"I have a Precious Weapon that I borrowed." Mengqi took the opportunity to explain so that they would not exchange for it again. He completely agreed with Jiang Zhiwei's suggestion. In the Death Task, it was better to break one finger than to injure ten fingers!

"A borrowed Precious Weapon …" Luo Shengyi glanced at Mengqi. "How can I borrow a Precious Weapon?"

He thought for a moment and said, "I have no objection."

He had originally planned to exchange for a Recover Pill to save his life. He only had more than 100 Karma points left. At most, he could exchange for some items that could restrain Demon Odor. With his strength of Nine Apertures, it would not be of much use.

Ge Huai 'en, who didn't even have enough Recover Pills, would not object.

Zhang Yuanshan had always been calm and had a general view of the overall situation. He gently nodded and said, "That's the best. But the items exchanged should be given to Miss Ruan and Zhenzhen. Firstly, they are not good at close combat. Secondly, they have the most Karma points."

He was a little selfish, but his words were very reasonable. For team members like Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and himself, even if they had items that could restrain demons, they might not have a chance to use them under the entanglement of the opponents. Moreover, Ruan Yushu had more than 1,000 Karma points. If the items exchanged were not in her hands, what would she think?

Fu Zhenzhen, on the other hand, was in charge of everyone's treatment and corresponding elixirs. She actually paid more Karma points, so naturally, she should be given preferential treatment.

"That's exactly what I think." Mengqi agreed.

Jiang Zhiwei gently nodded and said, "It should be so."

The others did not object. Ruan Yushu coldly said, "Okay."

Mengqi was not in a hurry to exchange for the Evil God's Eye. After getting a Recover Pill, he gave the rest of the Karma points to Ruan Yushu. Finally, everyone had 2,341 Karma points. They quickly looked through the Exchange List, looking for two or three items that could restrain demons.

Time waited for no man. They quickly made a decision.

"Demon-revealing Mirror (Fake), a Precious Weapon, made by imitating the Ancient Heavenly Weapon, Demon-revealing Mirror. Once it shines, all demons below the Exterior will show their original forms and lose their strength. Demons of the Exterior will be frozen for one to three breaths depending on their strength. It can be used three times. It's worth 1,200 Karma points."

"Demon-destroying Arrow, a Precious Weapon. It can break the Demon Odor and body of demons of the Exterior and cause great harm. Even a Half-step to the Exterior will be seriously injured. The demons under it will be powerless to resist. Because it can only be used once, it's worth 900 Karma points."

Seeing that there were 241 Karma points left, only 79 points away from refining the God-Destroying Eye, Mengqi exchanged for all the knockout powder and darts he had. Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan, Fu Zhenzhen, Qi Zhengyan, and Ruan Yushu all contributed some bits and pieces. Finally, they had enough Karma points. Otherwise, Mengqi would have to exchange for the Dragnet and the Begonia Candle.

The beam of light was dense and steaming. An evil eye appeared in Mengqi's hand. It was dark and gloomy, embedded in the green wood like a pendant.

Remembering that he had the Purple Death, he handed the God-Destroying Eye to Ge Huai 'en for safekeeping. Fu Zhenzhen took the Demon-revealing Mirror, and Ruan Yushu took the Demon-destroying Arrow.

After exchanging for all these, there was not much time left. They waited quietly for the task to start.

The beam of light fell. Mengqi and the others were dazzled for a moment before they found themselves in another place.

It was a meditation hall, but it was very dilapidated. The bricks on the floor were broken and weeds were growing. The golden paint on the Buddha statue had withered and fallen to the ground, breaking into several pieces.

Its head had a benevolent smile on its face. It rolled to the side of the house and looked at Mengqi and the others.

…

Above the 33 Levels of Heaven, there was a realm of immortals. Fairy birds flew in the sky, Spirit Spring gushed out, Spirit Grass grew everywhere, and strange flowers bloomed everywhere.

They surrounded an ordinary-looking palace with three indescribable words written on it:

"Tushita Palace."

Inside the palace, the Furnace of Eight Trigrams was placed steadily on the fire. An old man in Taoist robes sat in front of the furnace with his eyes closed. Two boys in golden and silver Taoist robes were fanning the fire and looking after the furnace.

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes and looked down.

"Master, is there something unusual in the Aparagodānīya State?" the golden-robed boy asked in surprise.

The old man shook his head. "It doesn't matter. Let them be."

He closed his eyes again and pointed his finger. The Furnace of Eight Trigrams was opened. The light soared into the sky and went straight into the Milky Way, covering a star.

The star gradually fell, but it turned out to be a fireball shaped like the sun. It was scorching and terrifying, so big that it seemed to be able to fill the four major states. The space around it was distorted and collapsed. There seemed to be Golden Crows flying inside.

The two boys were trembling under the terrifying pressure, but the "sun" was unable to get rid of the light. It became smaller and smaller, getting closer and closer to the furnace.

The old man in Taoist robes pointed again, and the furnace lid was closed. It was silent inside.

His eyes were closed all the time, without sadness or joy. It seemed that nothing could disturb him. It was the same for hundreds of years, thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.

"This furnace of pills has been refined for 627 years …" the silver-robed boy took a breath.
