Chapter 242: One Foot Immortal Vein

"Junior, I am Gong Yuntian from Youquan Spell Academy, proficient in all kinds of luck secrets. The first time I saw you, I knew you were a person with great luck."

"You have three flowers on your head, auspicious clouds under your feet, and a pillar of luck light rushing straight into the sky, simply shaking the clouds."

"You came to this Libra Underground Palace, it is really God's will."

"It is God who wants to give you a good fortune, reborn, and embark on the immortal path."

Gong Yuntian, hanging on the Libra tree, looked at Chen Qi with unbelievable eyes, as if he had discovered some rare treasure.

That expression, that demeanor, Chen Qi thought it was real no matter how he looked at it.

Incredible, incredible, I finally met a master today.

This senior from Youquan Spell Academy has a very good eye.

······

"Senior, you should speak frankly."

"Although I also think I am a genius and have great luck."

"But I have always been down-to-earth. I am afraid that becoming an immortal is not something I can do."

"Of course, if you want to give me a gift and a few pills, I will accept them."

After entering the second floor of the underground palace, Chen Qi had already scanned the offerings on the ground.

To his great disappointment, he did not see any pills among them.

This is a bit regrettable.

After finally entering the lair of the Lord of Libra, Chen Qi thought he could harvest some local specialties.

······

"Hey, you know about the existence of pills?"

"It seems that I don't need to say more about the deeds of the Lord of Libra."

Gong Yuntian looked at Chen Qi in surprise. Didn't these candidates just enter the Ascension Island? They even knew about the pills.

I just hope this guy is greedy enough, otherwise it will be hard to fool him.

······

"Junior, since you are a real person, I won't beat around the bush."

"During the joint entrance exam of ten schools, an unexpected incident occurred. I had no choice but to enter the Libra Underground Palace with Pei Zhennan from the Godless Spell Academy."

"This Libra Underground Palace is where the Lord of Libra cultivates immortality. It is rumored that the Lord of Libra is in a dead end behind the bronze giant door."

"For hundreds of years, countless people have wanted to open the bronze giant door to confirm whether the Lord of Libra has ascended to immortality, but no one has ever succeeded."

"Unfortunately, Pei Zhennan and I succeeded that year."

"Alas, it's all greed."

Recalling the past, Gong Yuntian, who was hanging on the Libra tree, sighed.

In his story, he and Pei Zhennan were seriously injured and were not far from death.

At the last moment of their lives, they actually sensed the call of the bronze giant door.

With the last bit of strength in their bodies, they climbed into the slowly opening bronze giant door.

Inside the giant door was an ordinary stone room.

There was no figure of the Lord of Libra inside, only three things.

A scripture, a bronze key, and a one-foot immortal vein.

At that time, the two were greedy for a while, or more accurately, they wanted to save their lives through the treasure of the Lord of Libra.

Then the two of them each chose a treasure.

Gong Yuntian chose the [One-foot Immortal Vein], and Pei Zhennan chose the [Scripture].

······

"Junior, we later learned that the three treasures in the stone chamber were used by the Lord of Libra to test his successors."

"Only those who successfully control the [One-foot Immortal Vein] or comprehend the [Equality Sutra] can be considered to have passed the test."

"Unfortunately, Pei Zhennan and I have limited abilities and cannot pass the test."

"As for the result, you also saw it. You were hung on the Libra tree."

"But I see that you have great luck and amazing wisdom. You may pass the test and become the successor of the Lord of Libra."

"Just when you arrived, the bronze gate was faintly shaking. It must be destined for you."

"I can teach you how to enter the bronze gate. I only hope that after you pass the test, you can return our freedom and let us return to the academy."

"This is the immortal fate I mentioned before. You are definitely the best choice."

Gong Yuntian looked at Chen Qi with an extremely sincere look, and the latter actually saw sincerity in his eyes.

This is really a bit strange.

Is everything Gong Yuntian said true?

But for something like pie falling from the sky, it only takes one time, and Chen Qi is really "a little scared"!

······

"Senior Gong, what is the current situation of Senior Pei Zhennan?"

"If I can't pass the test, won't I be hanging here like you?"

"This fairy fate is a bit hot, I'm afraid I can't take it."

Chen Qi spoke "hesitantly", looking a little tempted, but also a little hesitant.

Gong Yuntian expressed his understanding of his junior's caution.

After all, these words just now were only his one-sided words, if it were him, he would also be more suspicious.

"Junior, I can swear on the reputation of the Nether Spring School of Spellcraft that everything I just said is true."

"Swear on the reputation of the school, this oath is binding."

"Once what I said is untrue, the spiritual sublimation secret method I practiced will backfire."

"You should be very clear about this point as you have practiced the spiritual sublimation secret method."

"As for Pei Zhennan's current condition, hey, Old Pei is really too seriously injured and can only rely on the Libra Tree to survive."

"I'm afraid that only after the junior inherits the mantle of the Lord of Libra can he be saved."

In order to prove that what he said was true, Gong Yuntian activated his own spirituality in front of Chen Qi and swore in the name of Youquan Spell Academy.

As a result, his spirituality did not change at all, and what he said was indeed true.

Regarding the fact that one cannot swear in the name of the academy casually, the spiritual sublimation secret method obtained by Chen Qi did record it.

But he never planned to swear, so he didn't care too much. Unexpectedly, he encountered it today.

Incredible, really incredible, today I actually met a senior who only tells the truth.

Since what Gong Yuntian said before was true. Then when Chen Qi entered the underground palace, the bronze giant door must have really reacted.

Then he couldn't go in!

······

"Senior Gong, to be honest, I haven't even seen the gate of the Tianwu Spell Academy yet!"

"This is the inheritance of immortals after all, I'm afraid I'm not strong enough now!"

"Why don't you wait for me to study for a few more years in the academy before taking the test."

"Anyway, the two seniors have been waiting for more than 50 years, so why not wait for another ten years."

Chen Qi was also telling the truth. If the two seniors were really willing to wait for more than ten years, not to mention the Libra Underground Palace, even the entire Shengxian Island, Chen Qi could move home.

"I didn't expect that my junior brother is still a freshman. I guess the reason he was promoted to a controller is that he obtained the Box of Knowledge!"

"If so, it can only mean that my junior brother has an incredible talent, so he should give it a try."

"In fact, I am also thinking about you, my junior brother. Shengxian Island is full of dangers and murderous intentions."

"With my junior brother's strength, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to get out alive."

Gong Yuntian decided to analyze the severe situation facing this junior brother in front of him, so that he would understand that he was not fooling him, but was really thinking about him.

"Junior, I already knew what happened to you."

"I also heard that a true disciple was trapped in Changshou Village, but that place is even more terrifying, and she may not be able to come out alive."

"Even if you are lucky enough to escape with your life, you will never be able to occupy the Yunshan and get in touch with the outside world."

"Junior, the water on Shengxian Island is too deep, you can't control it."

"Even if the assessment fails, at least you can survive. Maybe one day, the top ten super spell schools can lock on here, and we can be rescued."

"Junior, you can feel the bronze giant door, which is a great blessing and opportunity."

"You don't have to worry about whether to take the assessment now. When you really encounter a desperate situation, you will definitely make the same choice as we did back then."

"Junior, in the entire Shengxian Island, this is the only place where you can stay."

Gong Yuntian really spoke from the heart. The weirdness of Shengxian Island now has increased hundreds of times compared to their years.

Back then, 500 of their top controllers all failed, and a few old students of the Tianwu Spell Academy could not turn the tables.

In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before this junior entered the bronze gate.

Unless he wanted to die, there was only this way to survive.

It was also because this junior was too timid. If he dared to enter in person, Gong Yuntian would not have to waste his breath and would have forced him to do it long ago.

······

"Is Shengxian Island so complicated and dangerous now?"

As a survivor of the incident that year, Gong Yuntian must know a lot of secrets.

Unfortunately, no matter how Chen Qi asked, he didn't dare to say much, as if he was afraid of something.

It can be imagined how terrible it is that Gong Yuntian, who is now hanging on the Libra Tree, is extremely afraid of something.

To be honest, if Chen Qi didn't have another "rely on".

If he wanted to survive on Shengxian Island, it seemed that he could only enter the bronze gate and try to inherit the mantle of the Lord of Libra.

At most, he would be hung for a few hundred years, which is at least an alternative form of longevity.

······

Chen Qi had a vague understanding of the mystery of the Libra Tree.

Chen Qi also had a vague guess as to why Gong Yuntian encouraged him to take the test.

It was nothing more than that after he failed the test, he would replace Gong Yuntian and hang on the Libra Tree.

In order to ensure the balance between life and death, the Libra Tree could only hang two life forms.

One was in the life position, and the other was in the death position.

This life and death was not really life and death, but just a state of flow.

The deep mystery involved was difficult for even Chen Qi to see clearly.

The reason why Gong Yuntian was in the life position was probably that his life source was stronger than Pei Zhennan.

But according to Chen Qi's speculation, Gong Yuntian would definitely pay a price after leaving the Libra Tree.

As for what it was, only he knew.

What puzzled Chen Qi the most was Gong Yuntian's purpose.

Since Shengxian Island is so dangerous, why does Gong Yuntian still want to leave the protection of the Libra Tree?

Is he confident that he can still protect himself after leaving the Libra Tree?

······

Although the development of things is a bit weird, judging from the current situation.

Gong Yuntian seems to be planning to let Shengxian Island teach Chen Qi a lesson, and has no intention of forcing him.

It seems that there is no need to fight with the senior today.

"Senior, can I chop down this Tongyou tree?"

After chatting with Gong Yuntian for a while, Chen Qi finally remembered that he still had something to do.

At this time, Chen Qi's main body in the outside world has seen the traces of the other two members of the Skull and Bones Society.

It won't take long for them to return to the underground palace.

Chen Qi's time is running out.

······

"It seems that the junior is planning to kill them all."

"Forget it, since I have a connection with you today, I will give you a favor."

"You can kill those three guys, but you can't cause any damage to the Tongyou Tree."

"After all, this thing is now a sacrifice to the underground palace. As the guardian here, you better not make it difficult for me."

Compared with Chen Qi's value, the three ghosts are obviously insignificant.

They are just accessories of the Tongyou Tree. If they die here, they can be regarded as sacrifices.

This is also a test of Gong Yuntian for the junior in front of him.

Amira's strength is still good, why was she killed?

······

"Senior, this really gave me a difficult problem."

"Sacrifice? What a pity!"

"I was originally planning to take this thing out for a good study!"

Chen Qi casually slashed out with a knife, and the three marks on the Tongyou Tree were instantly wiped out.

This understated action was not difficult at all.

The moment Chen Qi made his move, Gong Yuntian's eyes could not help but become more serious.

This guy in front of him could trigger the induction of the bronze giant gate, so he really couldn't be underestimated.

But that was all. With this strength, it was 100% impossible to survive on Shengxian Island.

It would be better if this guy was stronger, so that he wouldn't die outside accidentally and wouldn't even have a chance to come back.

The stronger Chen Qi was, the more relieved Gong Yuntian was.

When this guy suffered enough and experienced despair on the island, he would definitely choose to inherit the mantle of the Lord of Libra.

Gong Yuntian did not lie to Chen Qi, but that didn't mean he told all the truth.

For example, he didn't tell Chen Qi that the three treasures in the bronze giant gate had already "run away".

When they opened the bronze giant gate and failed the assessment, the three treasures flew out of the underground palace.

But the Libra tree is still there, and the assessment mechanism is still there.

As long as Chen Qi enters the bronze giant gate, he will definitely be hung on the Libra tree, and he, Gong Yuntian, will be able to escape.

The sacrifice of the "Tongyou Tree" is not for the Lord of Libra.

The Lord of Libra may have ascended to heaven, so why does he need any sacrifice?

The one who really needs the sacrifice is the Libra tree.

And he, Gong Yuntian, is the one who controls the sacrifice.

This is also the reason why he is confident that he can escape from the Libra tree without paying a huge price.

······

The reason why Gong Yuntian dared to escape from the protection of the Libra tree and enter the quagmire of Shengxian Island is, of course, because he has other plans.

Back then, he was only one step away from controlling the [One-foot Immortal Vein].

It was this one step that made him fail the assessment and be hung on the Libra tree.

Countless times, Gong Yuntian was annoyed. If he could give himself another chance, he would definitely be able to control the [One-foot Immortal Vein].

Especially after the three treasures escaped, he almost dreamed every night that he had found the [One-foot Immortal Vein] again.

······

At first, Gong Yuntian could not leave the underground palace.

Until he found that the Libra tree was actually a living thing, able to accept "sacrifice", or bribes.

As long as he could find something that the Libra tree could devour, he could temporarily leave the underground palace.

To be more precise, the Libra tree temporarily radiated its power out of the underground palace.

At first, the distance was only a few kilometers, but now it has reached 100 kilometers.

Amira and the other three unlucky guys were caught by Gong Yuntian within this distance.

Who made them rely on the Tongyou tree just arouse the interest of the Libra tree.

······

After being able to go out, the first thing Gong Yuntian did was to make up for his regrets and look for the [One-foot Immortal Vein].

He even developed a secret method of searching based on his understanding of the [One-foot Immortal Vein].

Gong Yuntian was extremely confident that as long as he could find the [One-foot Immortal Vein], he would be able to successfully control it.

What's hateful is that he sensed the existence of [One-foot Immortal Vein] several times.

But he could only stare blankly because he couldn't leave the 100-kilometer range.

The feeling of missing out repeatedly when hope was right in front of him was simply driving him crazy.

Fortunately, the opportunity finally came, and a large number of humans were stranded on Shengxian Island.

In fact, before today, except for the true seed, Gong Yuntian didn't think that anyone among the current survivors could sense the bronze giant gate.

He and Pei Zhennan were the masters of five spiritual sublimations, even so, they still relied on the time.

The space-time shock caused by the mutation 50 years ago was the real reason for the opening of the bronze giant gate.

They just took a ride.

But Gong Yuntian never expected that today, a candidate who had only two spiritual sublimations would cause the bronze giant gate to shake again.

This is really incredible.

Could it be that the influx of a large number of outsiders this time caused the space-time turbulence that caused the power of the bronze giant gate to change again?

If that's the case, maybe he should try to fool a few more candidates.

Unfortunately, the junior student he met this time was too cautious and only sent a clone in.

If he dared to enter in person, Gong Yuntian would definitely imprison him and would never let him leave unless he took the test.

Fortunately, hope was not completely extinguished. Gong Yuntian firmly believed that in despair, no one could resist the temptation of inheriting the immortal's mantle.

The terrifying beings on Shengxian Island will definitely force him back to the underground palace.

By then, he will be able to escape and look for the [One-foot Immortal Vein].

Once successful, Gong Yuntian will be able to successfully advance to the Silver Apostle, and he will have the power to protect himself on Shengxian Island.

By then, he may not be unable to find a way to leave Shengxian Island and return to Youquan Spell Academy.

······

Gong Yuntian was still dreaming in the underground palace. After reuniting with his clone, Chen Qi had already begun to check the ashes on the ground.

The two balls of black powder on the ground were naturally the unlucky Dudley and Inas.

The moment Chen Qi killed the brand, the two guys suffered a catastrophe.

The energy body they constructed with turbid spiritual energy instantly lost control.

After the two balls of spiritual energy flames burned, only some impurities were left on the spot.

It can be said that these two guys did not know how they died from beginning to end.

After Chen Qi tested it, he determined that the two balls of powder were only valuable as fertilizer, so he didn't bother to clean them up.

However, just as Chen Qi was about to leave, a guy with a torn body and an extremely abstract appearance appeared in front of him.
