Chapter 512: Sitting at the Gate 23
Chapter 512: Sitting at the Gate
hum~
The moment the old man's gaze came into contact with him, Li Yuan felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart and spreading throughout his body, as if he was frozen to the ground.
What the hell?
Li Yuan was filled with anger and was about to retreat when the strangeness around him disappeared in an instant. Then, the old man opened and closed his mouth, making a sound:
"Kaba, Dongkao, Babo..."
"..."
Li Yuan was stunned. The Mirage Dragon Belt around his waist trembled, and the little female dragon's voice came:
"This is the Origin Divine Text. It means that after 48,000 years, someone has come to challenge the East Territory again? But, he is too weak..."
The old man seemed to be able to hear the little female dragon's whispers, and nodded humanely.
"Eastern Territory?"
Li Yuan frowned. There is also the Western Territory?
Changing his mind, Li Yuan pulled out the Mirage Dragon Belt from his waist and said, "Ask him who he is? What is the East Territory?"
The little female dragon looked at the old man nervously. Just as she was about to ask, she saw the old man's eyes tremble. When he spoke again, he spoke in the authentic Dayun Mandarin:
"My name is 'East Twenty-Three'."
Learn so fast?
Li Yuan was shocked. This name was too casual. Like a serial number?
"This is the Eastern Territory."
The old man pointed to the passage behind him, and the words he spoke hung in the air like substance, emitting a faint light:
[Challenger from the East: Master of the Black Whale Hammer]
[Bloodline: Human]
[Realm: Successful blood exchange]
[Bone age is 26, practiced for 10 years, initially had average to low bone strength, practiced various martial arts, changed body shape by 1011… Main martial arts, Dragon Demon Heart Sutra, Worship God Righteous Method, Hundred Beasts Thunder Dragon, secondary martial arts, Dragon Elephant Vajra Heaven, Dragon Tiger Mysterious Sutra, Health Preservation Pure Yang Sutra…
Superb comprehension, estimated ultimate potential: God-demon level]
[The prototype of the spirit: gathering the form of thousands of beasts with thunder, lightning, wind and clouds, and gaining enlightenment by watching the sea-splitting black whale. It may be named 'Thousand Beasts Dragon Kun', potential: God level]
……
[Overall evaluation: OK]
[Admission to Bafang Temple, Eastern Territory]
"..."
Looking at the words flashing in the air, Li Yuan was a little dazed. After reading them sentence by sentence, his expression couldn't help but change.
It was not the first time that he had been examined by someone, but no one had ever examined him in such detail. Not only could they tell his bone age, but they could also tell how many years he had practiced martial arts, and how much his body shape had changed.
He majored in martial arts, minored in martial arts, and even listed his own shape-changing combinations.
And this potential...
"God and demon level, is it a talent? God level, is it the grade of spiritual appearance? Above heaven level?"
While Li Yuan was still pondering, the little female dragon's sharp voice had already sounded in his mind:
"You, you have practiced martial arts for ten years and you have developed a talent close to the Heavenly Star level?!"
Looking at the subtitles hanging in front of her, the little female dragon felt horrified.
She was a little shocked and suspicious that this native boy could be taken in by the Bafang Temple, but at this moment, she was left with only horror in her heart.
A talent that is almost at the celestial level, and the embryonic form of a god-level spiritual appearance.
She had only heard of this kind of genius from books or legends and rumors!
What's even more terrifying is that this kid didn't have extraordinary talents by nature, but rather acquired them through acquired cultivation, from his mediocre bones, all the way up to a level almost as high as a celestial being!
"No wonder, no wonder all the temples in the eight directions want to take him in. This, this..."
The little female dragon was shocked and speechless.
hum~
The words suspended in the air flickered and flowed, and the moment the old man closed his mouth, they gathered into a ball, and after a buzzing sound, they turned into a light golden token and fell in front of Li Yuan.
The token was square in shape, with various divine patterns flowing on it. If one focused carefully, one seemed to be able to see the subtitled comments just now.
And, similar numbered text.
'Number 14,237?'
Li Yuan's eyelids jumped. So many people had been here?
"With this order, you may enter the Eastern Territory!"
After the old man finished speaking, he closed his mouth, turned his head back again, and the energy in his body instantly dropped to the bottom. In an instant, he was completely lifeless, like a stone statue.
"Thank you, senior."
After being stunned for a moment, Master Li bowed and then took the token with both hands.
hum~
The moment he touched the token, Li Yuan felt a slight heat between his brows. All kinds of information flooded into his mind, letting him know the purpose of this token.
As the old man said, this is the certificate for entering the Bafang Temple.
Moreover, if you encounter an irresistible danger, you can crush the token, and then you will be sent out of the Eight Directions Temple...
"nice one."
Li Yuan clenched the token tightly. With the token in his hand, he felt much more at ease. At least, he had a way out.
Don’t worry about winning, think about defeat first.
This has always been Master Li's style of doing things.
"The threshold of this Bafang Temple is really high..."
Holding the token, Li Yuan wondered why he was brought here.
In addition to the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer's complete recognition of its master and the combined talents of the two great mystical weapons, it also seems to involve comprehension and age?
"This old man...is he like a puppet?"
At this time, the little female dragon came back to her senses from her shock, and her attitude changed again. Without waiting for Li Yuan to ask, she actively expressed her guess.
"puppet?"
Li Yuan looked at him from afar. From the outside, the old man looked like a real person, except that he had no breath.
"The Netherworld is dangerous, and the strange land is perilous. Whenever the cultivators of Tianshiyuan explore the Netherworld or the strange land, they will buy some puppets to explore the way, but this old man..."
There was greed in the little dragoness's voice:
"A puppet that is like a living person is nothing, but a puppet that can guard the Eight Directions Temple... What grade must it be? Let's try and see if it can be moved away."
'The energy of this Bafang Temple has a great influence on one's state of mind.'
Li Yuan tightly grasped the Mirage Dragon Belt. The little female dragon had become extremely active and greedy since she saw the Bafang Temple. She was obviously affected. In fact, he felt that he was also affected.
"Calm down, calm down."
Li Yuan forced himself not to look at the old man, but his mind was still full of mixed thoughts, and he wanted to try to move this thing away.
"This must be at least a Lingbao-level puppet, right?"
The little female dragon was still muttering: "How much 'Primal Fire' is this worth..."
"Shut up."
Li Yuan glared at her, and his calm mind, which had just been finally stabilized, was almost disrupted by her.
He took a deep breath and then walked carefully towards the exit of the passage behind Dong Twenty-Three, but just when he got within a few feet, his eyelids suddenly trembled.
【Sitting Puppet (Level 11)】
[…A spirit puppet born in the ‘Thunder Sea’, with intelligence and wisdom like a normal creature, it can absorb the energy of heaven and earth to survive, and use all kinds of natural treasures to strengthen itself… Due to damage, its rank has fallen, and its spiritual wisdom has been lost…]
[Control conditions: Sixth level of treasure refining technique, Heart of the Spirit Puppet]
[Control Effect: Level 16: Open the Temple in All Directions (East)
Level 12: Draw the Qi of Heaven and Earth]
Eleventh-level puppet!
Li Yuan took a breath of cold air.
Even though its rank had dropped and it had lost its spiritual wisdom, the rank of this puppet was still as high as rank 11. If it was in its prime...
"In its prime, it was at least a quasi-sixteenth-level spirit puppet!"
Li Yuan suddenly couldn't move.
The value of this spirit puppet is too high, even higher than other Heavenly Destiny Mystical Soldiers!
Not to mention the control effect that can open the temple in all directions, the value of this spirit puppet itself is immeasurable.
He had seen with his own eyes the gap between the Grand Master and the Heavenly Luck Mysterious Soldier. An eleventh-level spirit puppet had to be at least of supreme combat power.
If I had such a spirit puppet in my hand...
"Hmph, you're still talking about me..."
Seeing Li Yuan in a trance, the little female dragon snorted in her heart, but did not find it strange.
A puppet of this grade, even if broken into pieces and sold, would probably fetch a sky-high price.
"The sixth level of treasure refining technique, the heart of the spirit puppet..."
Looking at Dong Ershisan who had lost all his energy, Li Yuan couldn't help but clench his palms.
He wanted to try whether he could move the spirit puppet away, but when he got about two feet away, he felt a chill in his heart, and Dong Ershisan's neck turned.
'If you reach out, I'll die!'
As this thought flashed through his mind, Li Yuan suddenly felt a chill on his back. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and walked around the spirit puppet, but he still couldn't help looking back frequently.
Even the little female dragon could sense the reluctance to leave.
"Whoo~"
Not far behind the stone statue is the end of the passage. From the outside, it looks like a wooden door covered with extremely complex patterns. At first glance, it looks like a living thing that is constantly moving.
"Do you recognize the pattern on it?"
Li Yuan asked the little female dragon and concentrated on sensing it. The feeling these patterns gave him was somewhat similar to the divine patterns mentioned in the art of refining treasures.
“…I haven’t seen it.”
The little female dragon was more serious than him. She stuck her head out and almost stuck it against the wooden door. "It looks like a divine pattern? However, there are too many types of divine patterns. If we want to identify them, we need a divine pattern master to come in person..."
"This divine pattern..."
Li Yuan concentrated and sensed the divine pattern. The more he sensed it, the faster it flowed. It seemed to be changing all the time. He couldn't remember it at all, so he gave up and looked around.
There is nothing in this passage except East Twenty-Three. Obviously, this is just the passage before entering the temple. The real Bafang Temple is behind this wooden door.
“I can’t remember!”
After a moment, the Mirage Dragon's Belt also dropped down. The little female dragon was very annoyed and obviously wanted to remember it.
"Let's go into the temple."
As soon as Li Yuan thought about it, two large suits of armor wrapped him up. After he was fully prepared, he took out the token and gently pressed it towards the wooden door.
hum~
Less than a moment.
Li Yuan only felt a chill between his brows, and then an extremely dazzling purple light burst out in front of his eyes, instantly submerging him.
……
……
Woohoo~
The night wind howled and the imperial city was brightly lit.
Emperor Qian sat at the top, and on both sides sat various important ministers and servants of the court, as well as Huang Longzi, who never let go of his umbrella.
"Your Majesty!"
"Brother Wan!"
When Wan Zhuliu stepped into the hall, everyone except Emperor Qian stood up to greet him.
"His Majesty!"
Wan Zhuliu bowed in greeting.
Emperor Qian waved his hand to let him sit down and asked directly:
"Can you gain anything by following the flow?"
The other people in the hall also looked over.
"No chance, no entry."
Wan Zhuliu looked at the big umbrella in the corner, his face as gloomy as water:
"If those who are not destined to enter the Eight Directions Temple want to do so, perhaps the only way is to offer a grand sacrifice."
"Brother Wan is absolutely right. There is no other way."
Huang Longzi under the umbrella seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he heard Wan Zhuliu speak, he walked out and bowed:
"Your Majesty, please make a decision!"
