Chapter 1916 Meeting the Saints
The edge of the Black Sea.
As soon as the figures of Emperor Tianmang and Gu Xiuyun appeared, they were enveloped by the mighty power. After a moment, the two disappeared without a trace.
When they appeared again, they were already in a magnificent palace.
"Where is this?"
Gu Xiuyun and Emperor Tianmang looked around curiously.
Clang!
There was a roar.
The palace door opened, and several towering figures stood outside the palace, with turbid air currents around them.
"Supreme Saint!"
Emperor Tianmang bowed and saluted, "Junior Tianmang, meet the Supreme Saints."
Gu Xiuyun also saluted, and at the same time, he looked outside the palace with the corner of his eyes. For some reason, the scene outside the palace made him feel familiar.
"Don't look at it," one of the stone figures said with a smile, "This is the land of chaos. You two have not become the Supreme Saints yet, and you can't withstand the impact of the chaotic air currents, so you can only be arranged in this palace."
"The land of chaos?"
Gu Xiuyun understood immediately.
Isn't this the mysterious village that Yi Ming Palace Master took him to? It is also the residence of the Supreme Saints. According to Yi Ming Palace Master, no one can reach here except the Supreme Saints, unless they come here with consciousness through the mind space.
"Gu Ximing."
The stone figure continued, "You are really not simple. You broke the shackles of the supreme rules in such a short time. Although you are not the body of an emperor, you have the ability of an emperor. Qin Daoren really didn't misjudge you. If it were me, I might not be able to get out of his and Hunming's calculations. Speaking of which, his sister is also-"
The voice was not finished.
The golden robe figure said in a low voice, "Old Stone, stop talking nonsense. Are you allowed to talk about Qin Daoren's things?"
"Ahem, I didn't control my mouth for a while." The stone figure quickly stopped talking.
Qin Daoren? Hunming?
Gu Xiuyun was thoughtful.
"Gu Ximing, Tianmang," the golden-robed figure said in a deep voice, "You two have made great contributions in this mission of the Nether Sea Demon Spirit. Tianmang was the first to discover the Nether Sea Demon Spirit, which gave my cultivation world an advantage, and Gu Ximing was the first person to capture this demon spirit."
"Both in public and in private, you two should be rewarded heavily. Tell me, what do you want?"
Emperor Tianmang and Gu Xiuyun looked at each other.
The saints were really straightforward. They asked them to make requests as soon as they opened their mouths.
What should they ask for?
The two of them fell into deep thought at the same time.
Obviously, this is a rare merit. The so-called earth-level merit and heaven-level merit are just a joke in front of this merit.
Once they miss it, they may never have such an opportunity again.
"Just ask," said the stone figure, "Even if I can't satisfy you, old Xihuang and Gu Laotou will definitely be able to do it. At worst, there is Taiyi, who is much richer than us."
"Old Stone, you are talking nonsense again."
The other saints glared at the stone figure.
"My fellow saints," Emperor Tianmang finally spoke, "I have been pursuing the great path all my life, but I always stay at the threshold of a desperate situation, so I would like to ask you what I should do to make further progress."
"Just this question?"
The golden-robed figure shook his head slightly, "This is not a reward. The Nether Sea Demon Spirit means too much to us. In fact, we owe you a favor. I can answer your question, but in addition, you can ask for one more thing."
As he spoke, the golden-robed figure looked to the side.
Another saint with white hair and beard said with a smile, "Tianmang, you haven't been able to break through yet, not because of your practice, but because you don't have the determination to overcome life and death. Dao Heart is the key for practitioners to reach the top of the avenue, but what about you? Since becoming Emperor Qiankun, have you ever risked your life again? Have you ever experienced life and death again?"
"I also understand this truth."
Emperor Tianmang frowned, "Master Taiyi once told me that if you want to experience life and death, the best way is to go to the Heaven of Transformation, but now the practice world is in danger, how can I abandon the sect and pursue my own avenue?"
"Excuses, pure excuses."
The White Bearded Saint scolded, "The cultivation world is so vast, and there are so many strong people. What's the difference between you and me? Besides, for countless years, there have been so many crises in the Chaos Source Void, and the cultivation world has experienced so many disasters. Haven't we all come through? No matter how crazy the source beast forces are, we old guys are still there to support them. Is it your turn?"
"If you really want to protect the cultivation world, go to the Holy Heaven. Only there can you go further and find the opportunity to become a saint."
The voice of the White Bearded Saint was like thunder in the sky, which shocked Emperor Tianmang for a while.
"It seems that there is indeed something wrong with Emperor Tianmang's Dao heart." Gu Xiuyun sighed in his heart.
The so-called person in charge is confused, and the bystander is clear.
Emperor Tianmang has always believed that he has not pursued the Dao for the sake of the cultivation world, but in Gu Xiuyun's view, he is afraid. The life and death system can only find a breakthrough between life and death, but every time you experience life and death, there is a great possibility of falling.
Emperor Tianmang is already Emperor Qiankun, with a high position and power, how could he easily fight?
This is like a gambler, when he has nothing, he dares to risk his life, but once he has achieved success, he is afraid.
However, how can one retreat from the practice of the Great Dao?
"Tian Mang, if you really want to reach the top of the avenue, you must fight for life and death," the White Bearded Saint said indifferently, "No one's success is easy. If there is, it is not a success, but just a gift from God, but God also has times when he is unable to do it."
"If you want to become a saint and rank among us, you must rely on yourself."
"Of course, if you are content with the status quo, it is better to stay in the Hunyuan Void. The Heaven of Transformation is indeed too dangerous."
After the voice fell, the White Bearded Saint looked at Gu Xiuyun, "Life-saving junior, what about you, what do you want?"
"Junior wants some soul-related elixirs." Gu Xiuyun bowed and said.
"What, soul-related elixirs?"
The saints outside the palace were a little surprised.
What kind of reward is that!
Soul-related elixirs can be mass-produced by Qingxiao Palace and Xihuang Palace. Even the most precious ones only require three or five earth-level merits. In comparison, will-related spiritual treasures and various rare treasures are obviously much more precious.
"Junior, are you kidding?" The stone figure couldn't help but speak, "What kind of treasure is soul-related elixirs? Not to mention this saint, any emperor can give you a bunch. What kind of request is this? Ask for another one."
"Senior, the elixirs I asked for are a bit too many."
Gu Xiuyun explained, "I am now at the critical moment of breaking through the realm of martial arts. At most millions of years, my martial arts cultivation will be promoted to the twelfth realm, and the soul power I have accumulated is too little. It is impossible to gather it in such a short time."
Since he came out of retreat, he has been searching in the Black Sea for a long time, but he has not even seen the shadow of the fruit of the underworld.
It is conceivable how difficult it is to accumulate soul power.
If it was the first few levels of the Transcendent Realm, Gu Xiuyun could still rely on his own transformation of soul power to make up for the consumption of breaking through the realm, but after the Ninth Level, the demand for soul power increased exponentially, and relying on his own strength alone was far from enough.
"Then how many do you want?" asked the golden robe figure.
"Something like the Soul Replenishing Yuan Pill... about 30,000 or 40,000 pills, that's enough." Gu Xiuyun said.
"30,000 or 40,000?"
The saints present couldn't help but take a breath, "You're really rude!"
