"All of this is just my guess. There might be other situations, but I don't dare to ruin it. If something unexpected happens, it won't end well."
Mister Hao walked back and forth thoughtfully. Now, everyone was looking at him, waiting for him to make a decision.
Mister Hao was already uncertain. He felt many eyes on him, and an invisible pressure made him a little irritated.
"I've decided." Mister Hao looked around slowly. "I'll go down. If you're afraid of danger, please go back. I don't believe the ancestor would leave such a dangerous entrance."
"We request to be the vanguard." As soon as he said that, a small team of Silent Race squeezed out from the crowd and stood in front of Mister Hao.
"Are you sure?" Mister Hao recognized this team. He didn't expect them to still be here, but he didn't see their leader.
"I'm sure." Silent Race's team's eyes were filled with determination. They had discussed it for a long time because they also felt that the ancestor wouldn't harm them. The people who died before only died because of their greed.
Mister Hao had already known that the time was right to lead the team here. Many people saw the situation, and Mister Hao just happened to arrive when everything was over.
More importantly, everyone knew that Silent Race's team had gone down first. If the leader returned, he would know about their news.
"Okay, I'll go down with you," Mister Hao said with great pride. He didn't care about his own life at all.
Many people looked at him differently. In the past, many people left the impression that he was greedy and afraid of death. They didn't expect him to be such a man deep down.
"Mister, I'll go too."
"Count me in, Mister."
"Whoever is afraid of death is a coward. Anyway, I'm going to see the secret realm the ancestor left behind. I can die without regrets."
Many Shura's blood was ignited. They responded together, wanting to go together.
"If you have the guts, then follow. You Xing, you stay here. If there's anything, act according to the situation."
Mister Hao directly arranged. After that, he came in front of the cave. Silent Race's team also surrounded the cave and jumped down first.
Looking at the unfathomably deep cave, Mister Hao's body was already surrounded by immortal Qi to deal with this unknown danger.
With a leap, Sir Hao disappeared from everyone's sight. Some of the Shuras who were confident in their cultivation also jumped down after Sir Hao. One after another, batches of Shuras disappeared from the ground.
Looking at the familiar silence, Gu Zheng recalled Hua Long, who had died under his hands. After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng once again put on the casual clothes that Pan Xuan had given him.
Pan Xuan looked at Gu Zheng with some surprise. She thought that maybe he didn't want the other party's people to see her, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Let's go." Pan Xuan and Gu Zheng came to the entrance of the cave and jumped down like the others.
Soon, there were only a few dozen Shura left on the ground. Although they knew that there was a high chance that there would be no problem, they still chose to stay on the ground.
The Shura people looked at their enemies with condescending gazes, and most of them dejectedly left. Only a few persisted, waiting for the people below to return.
You Xing coldly looked at Elder Qin. In the past, they could not be considered friends. They had only met each other a few times. Now that they were serving different masters, it was even more impossible for him to be polite to them.
You Xing slowly sat down nearby, warning them.
Elder Qin looked at the empty space and sighed. No matter what happened to them, he only hoped that they would be able to return safely.
"Wu Xiaofeng, you lead everyone back. I'll wait for them here." Elder Qin directly ordered.
"Elder, I'll wait here with you." Wu Xiaofeng rejected without hesitation. He had already retreated timidly. He definitely couldn't escape from this place. He would be letting himself down.
Elder Qin looked at the stubborn Wu Xiaofeng and rubbed his head. If his wife was here, she would definitely be able to persuade him.
Elder Qin had no choice but to send someone else to lead the group back. In the end, there were only a few people left here. Everyone had their own reasons, and they all hoped that Ji Yi would lead them out safely.
For a moment, no one on the ground made a sound, and they waited quietly.
They didn't know that a figure was already in the sky above them, quietly watching them.
.....
When Gu Zheng jumped down, he didn't feel anything strange. It was as if he was jumping down from a high altitude as usual. However, after a moment of darkness, the scene in front of him was very different.
Looking at the crowd below, there were even a few people who accidentally fell and squeezed others, causing a commotion.
Gu Zheng and Pan Xuan landed on an empty space. Looking up, there were still people falling from above.
Looking from below, everything at the entrance of the cave could be seen clearly. Gu Zheng saw that some people wanted to fly up again to tell their friends outside that it was very safe below. However, when they were in mid-air, they couldn't move forward no matter what.
Gu Zheng also tried. He also stopped at the approximate position. It wasn't that someone was pulling him, nor was there anything blocking him. He just felt that he was also flying up, but the distance between him and the entrance of the cave didn't change.
It was close at hand, but far at the end of the world.
Not knowing Gu Zheng, many people also tried it. Even Pan Xuan was curious and gave it a try. Indeed, it worked. Only then did she come to the front with Gu Zheng.
At this time, the group of people was in a corner. In front of them was a huge empty space. The entire space was bright, but this wasn't the most shocking thing.
In front of them, there were many huge palaces in the middle. They were neatly arranged, and there were countless statues scattered below. In this space, they were all strange and precious beasts, and the carvings were vivid and lifelike.
The eyes on each statue's face were countless luminous pearls. The light in the space was provided by them.
It was majestic and sacred. Seeing this scene, everyone's heart was filled with solemnity.
At this time, Ji Yi had already led his people to stand alone on one side. Sir Hao was also standing at the front. Pan Xuan and Gu Zheng were also walking beside Sir Hao.
Although he had seen it twice, Sir Hao was still immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself. It took him a long time to recover.
At this time, there were still many people who were looking at everything in front of them in disbelief. This was a huge project, especially those huge stone pillars that were like jade pillars supporting the sky. They were uncanny workmanship, shining with all kinds of light.
The strange and precious beasts carved inside seemed to be moving.
The group of people continued to walk inside with Sir Hao. The deeper they went, the more they felt the greatness of these palaces.
"Look, there's someone up there." As the distance pulled closer, someone finally noticed the figure on the high platform in the distance.
That palace was very special. It was completely in midair, and there were no supporting pillars below. Just the stairs alone were ten feet high. Everyone was attracted to it at first glance.
Sir Hao looked at the very familiar figure in the distance, and the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile. He also let down the last bit of his guard. That was an old acquaintance. It seemed that everything was going according to plan.
"Hello, everyone."
An ethereal voice floated in the entire space, making it impossible for people to guess where the voice came from. Everyone was shocked and looked for the source of the voice.
"It's the people above who are speaking." Someone shouted. Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the source of the voice.
"That's right. Everyone, don't panic. I'm an illusion left behind by the Ancestor. I'm here to explain to everyone. You can call me Envoy Wu."
At this time, everyone had also arrived at the bottom of the palace. They looked up at this so-called Envoy Wu and found that he actually had no cultivation. But thinking that it was just an illusion, they understood.
"Envoy Wu, can you explain this place to us? Is this a secret realm left behind by the Ancestor? There are many things we don't understand here."
Sir Hao cupped his hands and pretended not to know this person.
"Everyone, please don't worry. I'll tell everyone clearly first. This is indeed a secret realm left behind by the Ancestor."
Emissary Wu reassured everyone as soon as he arrived, causing those who were nervous to instantly calm down.
Everyone quieted down, listening to what this so-called Envoy Wu had to say.
Ji Yi's team stood to the side coldly. At any rate, they had already made up their minds. They would not participate if they could. They could only protect them and wait for them to leave.
Ji Yi did not think that they would let them leave with the precious magic treasures. It would be better for them to just stay there from the start.
"I know. Everyone can't wait to get the reward from the Ancestor." Envoy Wu seemed to know what everyone was thinking. He then changed the topic.
"However, it is impossible for everyone to get something for free. Besides, you have to participate in the test left behind by the Ancestor. Only then can you enter the treasure vault and obtain the treasures."
Everyone nodded their heads. This was normal. The Ancestor could not possibly give out treasures to everyone. If that was the case, why not give out one each?
"Everyone, please look. The three palaces for this test are on your right. There are red, yellow and blue palaces. The danger level of each palace is different. Everyone, please act according to your capabilities," Envoy Wu continued.
"What's the difference?" Sir Hao asked the key question for everyone.
Although there were many other palaces, none of them were as dazzling as the three palaces on the right. There was a layer of fog rolling around the three palaces.
"Of course. The items in each treasure vault are different. The more dangerous it is, the better the items inside. Moreover, if there is a life-threatening danger and you are not strong enough, please do not force your way into the dangerous area. Stay in a safe place."
"The red palace is recommended for Jin Xian late stage. The yellow palace is recommended for Jin Xian mid stage. The blue palace is recommended for Jin Xian early stage."
"Could it be that those with low cultivation will definitely die if they enter the dangerous area?" someone asked loudly.
"Of course not. There is only a chance. So, everyone should act according to your capabilities. Some of the tests inside were set up by the Ancestor. Even if everyone enters together, there is a high chance that we will not meet. There are 99 tests in each palace. "
Envoy Wu's words caused an uproar. Ninety-nine tests. How could they possibly pass them?
Envoy Wu observed the uproar below. After a moment, he continued, "Of course, not everyone has to pass all the tests. Instead, three tests will be randomly selected. After passing all three tests, everyone will be automatically sent into the treasure vault to choose. When that happens, everyone will be able to choose one item based on their needs. Once they choose, they will be teleported out. Thus, there is no room for regret.
You have to choose carefully. "" Envoy Wu, if you have anything else to say, please say it all. This is everyone's first time here and there are many things that we do not know. "Sir Hao, who was watching the discussions going on, hastily requested.
Although he had been here a few times before, he did not know the rules here. Only Young Master Yu and Envoy Wu knew about them.
"No. However, only a maximum of 99 people can enter each palace. Thus, you all need to discuss it. However, in order to encourage everyone, the Ancestor has set up the fastest three people to come out from each palace. They can come to the palace behind me to choose the truly precious treasures."
"A friendly reminder. The item with a lower value inside is the Phoenix Blood."
After saying that, Envoy Wu fell silent. He looked down and sneered inwardly. I purposely closed the six palaces and increased the power of each palace by 10%.
Originally, he was not wrong. Under normal circumstances, there would be very little danger to one's life. Moreover, everyone would be given a seed to use to leave the palace at any time. However, he had kept all of them. Moreover, he had purposely explained the dangers in advance.
It was not that he wanted to say it. However, in order to achieve his goal, he had to trick some of the more powerful people into entering. Only then would he be able to meet his expectations.
When he said that, everyone, including Gu Zheng, became excited. Even Ji Yi's team could not help but look at Ji Yi. It seemed that they were also tempted to participate.
Even the Phoenix Blood was of a lower value. Thus, the items inside should be very tempting. Even if they could only choose one, it would be enough.
"Oh right, let me add something. Those with low cultivations can enter the higher levels of the secret realm, but those with high cultivations cannot. If you are stuck halfway, don't worry. After a while, you will be automatically sent out."
Envoy Wu saw that some of the Asuras with high cultivations were looking at blue. They wanted to use their cultivation to pass quickly and enter the upper palaces to choose the items.
He directly gave them a 'friendly' reminder to pass the level honestly and not think of taking shortcuts.
This was a secret realm set up by the Old Ancestor. Could it be like those ownerless places where anyone could enter?
"After half a day, I will open it for everyone. You can enter at any time. Now, think about it." After saying that, Envoy Wu's figure blurred and disappeared in front of everyone.
"This Old Deng's cultivation is getting higher and higher. Even I could not see how he disappeared."
Sir Hao muttered in his heart. However, he still said to everyone.
"Everyone, do what you can. Don't blindly chase after speed. Also, pay attention to your safety. Since it was set up by the Old Ancestor, you just need to be careful."
The main goal this time was to lure Pan Xuan and his companions into the upper palaces. Then, he would collect some treasures. As for what would happen to Gu Zheng and the others after they entered?
Back then, when he was seeking the Dao, Young Master Yu's evil smile had left a deep impression on him.
"Next, it's time for the special envoys to take action. With any one of them, do you think there will be any problems?"
Yes, there was nothing for him to do next. However, Sir Hao knew that the other party's valley was probably going to be in trouble.
Everyone was faintly leaning against the side of the palace. Now, there was a barrier outside the palace, preventing everyone from approaching.
"How about it? Do you want to go?" Pan Xuan rarely paid attention to him in this atmosphere.
"I don't really want to go." Gu Zheng directly said his thoughts. He did not need those things, including the Phoenix Blood. Although it was indeed very rare, he did not need it at the moment.
"Alright, then I'll go by myself. If there is something I need in the upper palaces, I need to go take a look. Even if it's not useful, there will be other treasures. I won't return empty-handed."
Pan Xuan's face was filled with disappointment. Although she knew that there was a one-third chance that they would not meet inside, what if it was the same illusion?
"Forget it, I'll go with you." Gu Zheng looked at Pan Xuan and sighed in his heart. He thought of Pan Xuan's meticulous care in the past.
He was not a fool, and he understood some of her thoughts in his heart.
However, since he had completed this mission, he might as well go back. He also wanted to see Elder Xiong's plan. If it did not work, he would also contribute to speed up the progress.
When he saw Brother Serpent last time, he vaguely thought of their thoughts when he saw the green fruit in his hand. It was indeed much more reliable than his own stupid thoughts.
If he could leave smoothly, she would not be able to find him and would gradually forget about him. He would take this opportunity to repay her kindness.
Gu Zheng even decided that before he left, he would definitely return the glove in his hand to her and let her complete the mission successfully. It would also be a little repayment.
Pan Xuan was pleasantly surprised as she looked at Gu Zheng. She didn't expect that the other party would agree at such a crucial moment. This was great news for her. If someone was willing to do something for you, it meant that you had a certain amount of weight in the other party's heart.
In fact, Pan Xuan had seen before that Gu Zheng did not seem to be interested in her. She had already felt that she had put down her status and tried to please him, but in the end, he only had a little more reaction. He did not have the feeling of looking at her like he did at the beginning.
This made Pan Xuan very discouraged, but Gu Zheng had given her a necklace before and was worried about her safety. Seeing her disappointed and changed his original intention, Pan Xuan regained her confidence.
It was very likely that he was the kind of person who was not good at expressing his feelings and was more competitive. Pan Xuan felt that her guess was right.
Gu Zheng looked at Pan Xuan's beautiful eyes and smiled at himself. His somewhat depressed expression returned to normal in the blink of an eye, and even a little happy.
"You still have some pills here. Why don't you take some as backup?"
Pan Xuan knew that Gu Zheng did not have many reserves. Seeing Gu Zheng's face of refusal, she directly stuffed the pills into Gu Zheng's hand and then closed her eyes, waiting for the secret realm to start.
He had to be faster than the others and get into the top three. Only then could he enter the palace above.
No one knew what Pan Xuan was thinking. Everyone who wanted to go in wanted to try their luck and see if they could get into the top three.
