Chapter 1,266: The Gate of Life and Death
"Venerable Shura, as we agreed before, you can choose from these four things first."
The four treasures were placed in front of Luo Xiu and the two venerables, and Venerable Ku Mu spoke.
Luo Xiu was not polite either. He reached out and picked up the silver-white ore. His palm sank slightly, and his eyes showed surprise.
You know, he has cultivated the Nine Transformations to the seventh level of the realm, and his body is comparable to the supreme artifact. How powerful is his physical strength? With the power of his physical body alone, he can easily blow up a planet!
And this silver-white ore can actually make him feel a little heavy. The weight alone is amazing.
"This is a material that has long been extinct in this world."
Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly. From this ore, he could feel the breath of ancient times. This antiquity is definitely older than the beginning.
The universe has undergone many changes, from the Immortal Kingdom era to the Dayan era, and then to the Taichu era of the later generations. Just like some species have become extinct, some special materials and treasures have also disappeared in history due to changes in the environment of the universe.
Luo Xiu estimated that this should be a piece of refining material, and the grade is not low, but he does not need it.
He has the Wild Tower, the Immortal Dao Plate, and the Lianxu Immortal Fire Bottle, a formation restriction that can only allow the Seven-wheeled God Emperor to enter. Even if there is a treasure opportunity, it is estimated that it is not much higher.
So Luo Xiu just pondered for a while and put the divine iron ore back.
Then Luo Xiu opened the jade box again and saw the pill inside. There was only one pill, which was round and exquisite, and even had a faint fairy charm, which almost made Luo Xiu mistake it for a fairy pill.
But if you look closely, you will find that this is actually just a divine pill equivalent to the eight-wheeled level. The reason why it contains a trace of fairy charm is probably because this pill was refined by an immortal.
It was surprising that an immortal could refine such a low-level elixir, but it was also acceptable.
However, this trace of immortal charm made this eight-wheeled divine elixir no longer simple. Its special effect was even incomparable to many nine-wheeled divine elixirs and even ten-wheeled divine elixirs.
But for Luo Xiu, this was only an eight-wheeled divine elixir after all.
After a moment, Luo Xiu made a choice and took the black feather with flame patterns.
As for the pure white talisman, there was also a trace of immortal charm left on it, and it exuded a majestic and rich breath of life. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be a healing talisman that could heal most injuries.
To make this kind of talisman, one must be a master of formation who is proficient in the way of life. Therefore, the healing talisman with extraordinary efficacy is actually more precious and rare than the healing elixir.
The reason for choosing that feather is not that this feather is the most valuable of the four treasures, but because this feather carries a trace of immortal power with fire attributes.
This trace of immortal power is extremely weak, but it is the real power of an immortal, so Luo Xiu speculated that it should be the feather of a bird that has reached the realm of immortality.
Such treasures can be used to refine magic weapons with fire attributes, and can also be used to allow the natal fire to absorb that trace of weak immortal power to advance.
If the immortal power is too strong, Luo Xiu's cultivation level cannot allow the formless fire to absorb it at all. It is precisely because this trace of immortal power is too weak that the formless fire can absorb it. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to advance to a higher level.
Then Venerable Ku Mu and Venerable Qiang Tu also took a treasure each, and finally the silver-white iron ore was left.
"We have three people, but there are four treasures. I wonder how Venerable Shura thinks we should divide them?" Venerable Ku Mu threw this question to Luo Xiu.
Although these treasures were brought out by their subordinates, the two venerables did not use this as an excuse. Everything was just because Luo Xiu's strength was so strong that they were afraid of him.
Seeing the three venerables sitting on the ground and dividing the spoils, no one dared to say anything, and some people even thought it was natural. This was the benefit and advantage of being strong.
Luo Xiu glanced at the heartbroken Han Shu family, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of his biological parents in this life.
Although that happened hundreds or thousands of years ago, and his parents who had no talent for cultivation had long turned into yellow earth, the element of emotion still occupied a great weight in Luo Xiu's heart. He could not be as cold-hearted as most martial artists.
A little compassionate heart was born under controllable conditions, and this situation was also allowed in Luo Xiu's mind.
So he pondered for a moment and said, "After all, these things were obtained by those juniors with their lives. As the three of us are seniors, we should at least show some appreciation, right?"
While speaking, Luo Xiu raised his hand and waved, and seven storage rings floated in the air, saying, "There are a total of seven people who entered the restricted room of the formation. Whether they died in it or came back alive, they all get one."
As Luo Xiu finished speaking, four of the storage rings flew to the three people who came out alive, and Han Shu's family of three naturally got two.
"If there are relatives of the other three who died in it, they can come forward now to claim them." Luo Xiu looked around and said to everyone.
For a moment, many people were moved, and the two venerables, Ku Mu and Qiang Tu, frowned slightly, because for them who were high above, they didn't care about the lives of several juniors of the Seventh Wheel Divine Emperor level, let alone compensate for anything.
Because in their opinion, since these people followed in to seek the protection of the Venerable and some opportunities, they should be prepared to take some risks and die.
As for those people below, some people also thought about pretending to be relatives of a junior. After all, they are the seniors of the Supreme level, and the things they sell will definitely not be ordinary.
Luo Xiu seemed to see through the purpose of some people, so he explained lightly: "I advise you not to cheat me with a fluke mentality, it will kill people."
The familiar words immediately made many people feel awed, because the Shura Venerable also said similar words to the Soul Sword Venerable, but the Soul Sword Venerable didn't care, so he died.
Two people came out, both of them were the cultivation of the Nine Emperors, and they were the masters of two of the dead Seven Wheel God Emperors.
Whether they were lying or not, Luo Xiu could tell at a glance, so these two people got a storage ring.
As for the last ring, no one came to claim it, which shows that no one dared to think that people would die for money.
"Thank you, senior." Everyone who got the ring bowed respectfully to Luo Xiu, and they were all very excited, but Han Shu's family felt more complicated and grateful.
Since Luo Xiu had already given some compensation, it would be embarrassing for the two venerables, Ku Mu and Qiang Tu, not to do something. With their wealth, they could easily get something, which would definitely benefit the martial artists of the Seventh Wheel Divine Emperor level.
After all, as venerables, if they were too stingy, it would be too cheap.
After these episodes, the group continued on their way. After passing through the main hall of a palace, the faces of the two venerables, Ku Mu and Qiang Tu, suddenly became solemn.
"Venerable Shura, the restricted area ahead is bounded by these two doors."
As Venerable Qiang Tu spoke, Luo Xiu saw two doors appearing in front of him. Both doors were blocked by the light curtain of the formation. The color of the light curtain was one gold and one black.
"What do you say about these two doors?" Luo Xiu asked lightly.
Venerable Kumu looked at Luo Xiu with some surprise, "Doesn't Venerable Shura know? Many people know about the Gate of Life and Death in the Forbidden Zone of Wentian."
In the Wentian Ruins, as long as the cultivation base reaches the middle stage of the Ninth Emperor, there is basically no one who has not been to the Wentian Palace and Tianwu Island. Even those who have never been here have definitely heard a lot about the Wentian Palace and Tianwu Island. Therefore, the matter of the Gate of Life and Death is basic common sense for people above the Ninth Emperor.
But the Venerable Shura in front of him seemed to know nothing at all, which made Venerable Kumu and Venerable Guntu conclude that this Venerable Shura should have just come to the Wentian Ruins recently and had never been here before.
"This is my first time to the Wentian Ruins, so naturally I don't know these." Luo Xiu said calmly.
The two venerables were slightly startled. They didn't expect Luo Xiu to take the initiative to admit that he was a novice. Isn't he afraid of being cheated?
Since the two venerables, Ku Mu and Qiang Tu, have come here, they must know something. With their familiarity with Wen Tian Palace, it is not difficult to trick someone who has never been here and knows nothing about this place.
It is not that the higher the cultivation level, the smarter the person is. At least in terms of wisdom and strategy, Venerable Qiang Tu can only be regarded as a reckless man, far inferior to Venerable Ku Mu.
Venerable Ku Mu thought of a possibility. Venerable Shura dared to say openly that he knew nothing about this place, so it is obvious that he also has something to rely on, and is not afraid of him and Venerable Qiang Tu playing some tricks.
"Is he really confident, or is he bluffing?" Venerable Ku Mu was a little unsure.
When he first came here, Luo Xiu's consciousness had already explored the past. It is obvious that the golden portal must be the gate of life, and the black and gloomy portal is the gate of death at a glance.
The Golden Gate of Life is filled with a strong breath of life, and the golden light curtain of the formation that blocks the surroundings also contains the attribute of endless life, which is very similar to the power of the blue sky, one of the twelve heavenly powers.
The Black Gate of Death, on the other hand, is filled with the breath of death. The dark and cold portal is like the open mouth of a ferocious beast, making people dare not approach it.
"Generally speaking, we will choose the golden Gate of Life, because this formation restriction has only defensive power. With our cultivation, it only takes half an incense stick of time to open a passage to enter."
"And if you choose the black Gate of Death, the formation restriction with death attributes is very aggressive. After many people died, no one dared to try it again."
The two venerables, Ku Mu and Qiang Tu, have not been to Wentian Palace, but they know a lot of things here. Obviously, they have put a lot of effort in intelligence.
"No one has been able to break through the Black Death Gate before, because everyone who has come here has only the cultivation level of the Ninth Emperor. Is it possible that the three of us, the venerables, cannot break through even if we join forces?" Venerable Qiang Tu frowned and said, a purple spear appeared in his hand, and he walked towards the Black Death Gate.
