Young hero Ke did not speak, only staring coldly at Gu Xuan.
Ke Xiaodu stammered, "Impossible! This is impossible! With your strength alone, how can you see through the mysteries inside?
With the two of us working together, only … only … "At this point, he could not continue.
Because young hero Ke glared at him fiercely.
This made Ke Xiaodu's heart feel like it had fallen into an ice cellar.
Seeing this, how could the people of the Ancient Pagoda not understand that Gu Xuan had answered correctly! He had really seen through the secrets hidden inside the tree trunk.
The Pagoda Master laughed loudly, very arrogantly.
"Haha, as expected of my most valued guest. Under my guidance, you finally saw through the secrets of the tree trunk.
Young Hero Ke, you were the one who suggested the bet between us.
And I, too, agreed.
Now, it's time to fulfill the bet.
I think, in front of so many people, you won't be so shameless as to not admit it, right? "
Young hero Ke stood where he was, clenching his fists so tightly that they made creaking sounds.
A murderous intent faintly appeared on his body.
"Damn it, damn Gu Xuan, damn Pagoda Master! The two of you actually dared to play a double act and lure me into a trap, preposterous! This grudge, I must take revenge! "
Young hero Ke roared in his heart.
But he was very clear that now was not the time to shed all pretense of cordiality. Since Gu Xuan could see through the secrets of the tree trunk, it meant that his understanding of the Dao of Spacetime was deeper than Ke Xiaodu's! To successfully set up the teleportation array, he still needed Gu Xuan's help.
Forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart, young hero Ke finally squeezed out a smile on his face.
"If you agree to the bet, you must accept the loss. Naturally, I will fulfill the bet.
Take it! "
Young hero Ke waved his hand unwillingly. Two Emperor Fate Weapons and a total of fifty Origin Pills, lined up in a line and flew toward the Pagoda Master.
The Pagoda Master's eyes lit up. With a wave of his hand, he kept them in his interspatial ring.
Gu Xuan looked at the Pagoda Master with disdain.
This guy, he had won so many good things by himself, but he did not know how to be grateful and share some with him?
If he did not share now, it would be extremely difficult to pry something out of the Pagoda Master's mouth in the future.
"Fortunately, I still have Ke Xiaodu's share!"
Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Ke Xiaodu.
"Senior Young Hero Ke has already fulfilled the bet. Little Poison Ke, do you still want to go back on your word?
Why wasn't there any action?
As a person, you have to be frank and take the initiative. Don't lose the face of Nine Poison Valley. "
The corner of Ke Xiaodu's mouth twitched a few times.
He could take out a Monarch Fate or Monarch Weapon, but where could he get thirty Origin Pills?
Even though he was the Young Valley Master, he didn't have such precious cultivation resources! He looked at Young Hero Ke with a wronged expression.
Wasn't it Young Hero Ke's suggestion that he accepted the bet?
As an elder, Young Hero Ke wouldn't watch him make a fool of himself and bleed, right?
However, Young Hero Ke turned his face to the side, as if he had not seen anything.
Ke Xiaodu could only cast his gaze on his father.
Ke Dadu sighed. He knew that he couldn't avoid this anymore. With a pained expression, he took out a total of thirty Origin Pills. This was half of his wealth.
"If you're willing to bet, you must be willing to accept your loss. You're a man of honor!"
Ke Dadu tossed the thirty Origin Pills to his son.
After Ke Xiaodu took them, he took out a Monarch Fate or Monarch Weapon, a pair of thin spiritual boots, and tossed them to Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan smiled faintly and put them into his interspatial ring.
At the same time, he separated a bit of his soul energy and imprinted a soul mark into the spiritual boots to make them recognize him as their master.
"Immortal Footsteps! It's made from the wings of the ancient beast 'Immortal Spiritual Dragonfly' and the ancient beast 'Three-Eyed Godly Cicada'.
After activation, it can increase the speed of a cultivator.
However, it needs to be combined with a profound movement technique, the Immortal Footsteps Movement Technique! This thing's value can't be compared to an offensive Monarch Fate or Monarch Weapon, so Ke Xiaodu took it out.
However, I don't lack offensive Monarch Fate or Monarch Weapons. This pair of spiritual boots is more useful to me. "
Gu Xuan was secretly happy. He separated a bit of his attention to study the Immortal Footsteps Movement Technique and Immortal Footsteps.
Just as Gu Xuan and the Pagoda Master were feeling happy, Young Hero Ke harrumphed coldly.
"Pagoda Master, guest elder Gu Xuan, it's time to get down to business.
Let me briefly explain the current situation. "
Young Hero Ke said coldly.
"Ten thousand years ago, I accidentally discovered the secret of this withered tree through a Monarch Fate or Monarch Weapon that can release the power of spacetime.
There's a formation diagram hidden inside it.
What's recorded on the diagram is a teleportation formation! That teleportation formation should be the one that leads to the third level of the Sword Tomb! "
The eyes of the people from the Ancient Pagoda Lineage glittered upon hearing this.
"Therefore, as long as we set up the teleportation formation according to the diagram, we can enter the third level through it!"
The Pagoda Master was excited, "Then what are we waiting for? Quickly set it up!"
Gu Xuan shook his head.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
According to my observations, the formation diagram hidden inside the tree needs to be shown by the power of spacetime.
The stronger the power of spacetime, the clearer the formation diagram. "
The Pagoda Master was confused.
"That's reasonable.
What's the problem? "
Gu Xuan pointed at the corpses of the Saints not far away.
"If there's really no problem, there wouldn't be so many corpses here.
The problem is that only martial artists who have injected spacetime can use their soul power to sense the formation diagram.
Ke Xiaodu and this fellow daoist probably didn't see all the details of the formation diagram and only used their memories to command how to set it up.
In the end, it led to the tragedy, right? "
Hiss, hiss.
The martial artists of the Ancient Pagoda Master all sucked in a cold breath.
If the teleportation formation diagram to the third level wasn't set up properly, people would die?
The Pagoda Master stared at Young Hero Ke anxiously, hoping to get some accurate information from him.
Young Hero Ke looked at Gu Xuan in disbelief.
"It seems that even though I overestimated you, I still underestimated you.
You only looked at the tree once, and not only did you discover the secret within, you were also able to analyze so many things. Amazing! "
Young Hero Ke let out a long sigh, then looked at the Pagoda Master and replied, "Guest Elder Gu Xuan is right, this is indeed the case.
If the teleportation formation isn't set up properly, people will really die! In fact, I've been bringing Xiaodu here since seven thousand years ago to try to set up the formation diagram. Unfortunately, I've never succeeded.
The reason is that Xiaodu's understanding of the Spacetime Dao isn't enough.
All these years, my Nine Poisons Valley has been waiting for a fellow daoist who is proficient in the Spacetime Dao to join us. "
At this point, Young Hero Ke's eyes were already fixed on Gu Xuan.
If it weren't for the Ancient Pagoda Master's interference, the newcomer Gu Xuan should have "joined" his Nine Poisons Valley.
If that was the case, why would he be here begging the Pagoda Master for cooperation?
The Pagoda Master also sighed.
"I only know that Ke Xiaodu likes to run amok, but I never expected him to be the person most proficient in the Spacetime Dao in Nine Poisons Valley.
I finally know why Ke Xiaodu indulges him so much.
Presumably, in order to hide the fact that he knows the Spacetime Dao, he must have placed several layers of seals on his body, right? "
Hearing this, Gu Xuan couldn't help but recall that not long ago, when he fought with Ke Xiaodu, Ke Xiaodu was beheaded, but he didn't really die.
At that time, Gu Xuan thought that it was because he was the Young Valley Master and had a noble status that he had treasures to protect him.
Now it seemed that it wasn't completely the case.
His mastery of the Spacetime Dao was his greatest life-saving talisman.
Young Hero Ke nodded and continued to respond to the Pagoda Master's words.
"Of course.
In the great battle a hundred thousand years ago, our three forces lost several disciples who knew the Spacetime Dao.
Ke Xiaodu is the only seedling of my Nine Poisons Valley. Without him, we might not have any hope of leaving the sword tomb. Naturally, we have to protect him.
As far as I know, your Ancient Pagoda Master is the same, right?
I wonder, who is the Spacetime Dao Saint that you've been hiding all this time?
Why don't … "The Pagoda Master hurriedly interrupted," No, there's no such thing.
If guest elder Gu Xuan didn't appear, I was planning to spend the rest of my life here.
Don't change the topic, let's talk business! "
