"Master, this is the treasure, but there's nothing!"
Duan Ru listened to the Infernal King and looked around. There was indeed nothing there. However, there were two doors, one of which had the word "Life" written on it, and the other one had the word "Death" written on it. Duan Ru was at a loss.
Could this be the treasure map of the Shang Zong that he acquired with great effort? Probably not. Shang Zong had sworn an oath, it was impossible for him to deceive the people of this world. Was there something amiss in this?
"Gate of Life? "When there is life, there is death. Even if the Gate of Life has treasures, it can't be too small. The real treasure should be at the door of death. Isn't there a saying that only those who put their life on the line can live?"
Duan Ru decided to break the door to death.
"Master, you can't! Since it's a door of death, then it must be dangerous. I think we should still enter the Gate of Healing!"
Since it was a treasure map, it wouldn't be that easy to obtain. If he could obtain it so simply, then why would the hidden treasure be needed to create a map?
"Fire Demon King, you enter the Gate of Life and I enter the Gate of Death. This is great! Whether it is the Gate of Life or the Gate of Death, we can obtain it!"
At this moment, the Blazing Demon King was Duan Lian's soul servant. Naturally, he would wholeheartedly think for Duan Ru Yue's sake.
"Since that's the case, I'll enter the door of death for my master. My master, enter the Gate of Life!"
"No need to argue, you just have to enter the Gate of Life. Just in case, I'll give you 100 thousand stalks of Heavenly Dragon Grass, and once you're trapped, you won't starve to death. These 100 thousand stalks of Heavenly Dragon Grass can live for a thousand years without any problems, so we'll just listen to the heavens' will."
He had the [Heavenly Refining Diagram] and Medusa, so even if they met a strong enemy, they could deal with them. If they did not come out, he would have endless Sky Dragon Grass and the crystal of death, living inside for hundreds of thousands of years would not be a problem. Unless he reached the end of his life, otherwise, he would be able to train in the [Heavenly Refining Painting] technique and he would be able to return without a problem.
The purpose of this adventure was: to seek wealth within dangers. There's no pie in the sky.
Duan Ling Tian had once asked Qi Tong about his good fortune. Qi Tong had said that his good fortune was very long, and shouldn't be short-lived. Thus, Duan Ru wanted to enter the gates of death. Faintly, there was a consciousness that wanted to enter the door of death.
Duan Ru pushed open the door to death and walked in. The door to death closed with a bang. Duan Ru tried it out and sure enough, it couldn't be opened. Duan Meng smiled bitterly.
"It all depends on my luck!"
Duan Meng opened the fire piston and walked forward. In just half a day's time, he arrived at a stone room. Just by feeling it, he was already several thousand meters deep. However, there wasn't the slightest bit of wetness.
Inside the stone room, there was a tea table with three books on it. On it was written: You can only take one, or else you will be humiliated. One of them was the Dao of longevity while the other was the Dao of Qi Cultivating Stage. The other was the Dao of tribulation.
He was still too young, and he was only at the Aurous Core stage. He did not know when and how long it would take for him to cross the tribulation, but the path of longevity would only be useful to him. If he was sealed in here, then the path of longevity would be useful.
Duan Meng decisively picked up the path of longevity and flipped open the title page. There was a line of words written on it.
"Congratulations, you have obtained the most valuable book. In it, you will have passed through many years. Longevity is what you need the most."
Duan Ru Yue looked at it and smiled bitterly. He had indeed guessed correctly. It was highly likely that he wouldn't be able to leave this place. He would then be able to use the Way of Longevity. Duan Ru Yue then put the Path of Life into her bosom, and the other two books quietly disappeared, revealing a hole.
Duan Ru Yue knew that at this moment, even if she didn't enter, she would still enter. At this moment, there was no path of retreat.
Duan Meng thought about it for a moment and then jumped in. His body started to fall, but not very quickly. It was as if there was a force supporting him, preventing him from being injured. It only took him two hours for his encounter to reach its end.
There were two stone cups in the stone room, each with a kind of water like substance. One wrote poison, the other wrote antidote, one had to drink it. Duan Meng thought about it, then drank the poison, then drank the antidote, and there was a burst of laughter.
"You are indeed smart. If you only drink one, it will be venom that will injure your Dantian even if you don't die. Who would have thought that you would come up with such a method. Good, no wonder you are someone with good fortune. Since you have come here, I can give you a set of treasures."
Following the disappearance of the voice, a table appeared out of nowhere. On the table was a huge egg. Duan Ru asked, "Senior, what is this thing?"
Since you asked, I'll tell you that this is an egg of a devouring beast from the Celestial Realm. After being sealed by me, it has always been in an unhatched state, so if the seal is removed, the egg will immediately enter an incubator state. Furthermore, it will grow very quickly and can devour all living things, even you will not be able to tame it.
Duan Ru heard this and was terrified.
"Senior, this thing is a disaster, how can it be considered a treasure?"
"Truly ignorant. Didn't you learn the art of soul enslaving? As long as you can enslave it, it will become your powerful ally. What are you afraid of? "
Duan Meng understood. "How strong is he?"
"Hehe, think about it, he is a devouring beast from the Immortal World. Since you are in the Mortal Realm, can anyone else defeat him? However, he needs a huge amount of energy and devourer. He's afraid that if you're not full, it'll be troublesome and he could degenerate. "
"I can enslave him?"
"That depends on your abilities. If you can steal my soul, that would be even better. It would be even more powerful than the law of slavery. You would have two bodies and would become immortal."
"Art of Soul Seizing? Senior, do you know how to? "
"It's simple. You also know how to do that. You just need to put all of your soul into the egg of the Swallowing Beast and let it hatch. You can take the chance to steal your soul, but …"
"But what?"
"If you fail to snatch his soul, he will snatch it away from you. He will not be you, and you will be him."
This was a huge temptation. If he successfully soul stealing, he would be able to have two bodies, one exploring all over the place. Even if he died, as long as he used some energy, he would be able to recover his body. However, there are dangers too. If I don't succeed, my soul will disappear. If I don't encounter any more beasts, there will be two of them.
"Do you want to do it or not?"
Once he succeeded, his power would increase by leaps and bounds. This was because he had a trump card, one that was much better than Medusa, he could give Medusa to Little Phoenix Fairy and the others to ensure their safety.
"Done."
"Good. Young people are indeed powerful, but I can tell you this. No one has ever succeeded before. If you fail, don't blame me for it!"
"Heh heh, Senior, if I fail, I would no longer exist in this world. Where is the complaint coming from?"
"Hehe, that's true. Then I'll undo the seal."
