Smiling, Di Tian said: "Since you and my father are old friends, then we should also be equals, you are two years older than me, I will call you Brother Duan, okay?"

Duan Kaiyang waved his hand and said, "Don't call it Brother Duan, it sounds awkward, you can call me Kaiyang directly, and I will call you Ditian, it's much smoother, you say yes." ”

Hearing this, Di Tian laughed and agreed.

Then, Di Chonghai also came to the side, and naturally he was inevitably reprimanded by the eldest brother Emperor Chongyang, and then he saw Dongfang Dexterity, and everyone didn't say a few words. I began to hear that the crowd in the hall began to stir again.

It turned out that when Di Chongyang and his party came to this hall, two exits suddenly appeared in front of them, one of which had the word "life" written on it, and the other had the word death written on it.

A door of life, a door of death, which way to go, everyone hesitated.

Some people say that they should go through the door. Some people also say that maybe the Shengmen is just a trick, and if you really walk in, the Shengmen will become a dead end in an instant. Then the two sides with different opinions began to argue, and they have been arguing and shouting until now.

Regarding their argument, from beginning to end, Di Chongyang did not participate. Because at this time, he was not sure which path to take was the right one. On this trip to the secret realm, about those ethereal things like that secret treasure, Emperor Chongyang didn't want it very much. He only has one purpose in mind at the moment, but to be able to save himself.

However, at this time, Di Tian also came in, which couldn't help but make him feel a little headache. After he entered this secret realm, he had secretly discovered that something was wrong. And it seems that this is not only related to the Dongfang family, but also seems to involve a big secret. But at the moment, he is not organized, so it is not good to talk too much to Di Tian.

However, there is one thing that Emperor Chongyang can be very sure of, on this giant god peak, there seems to be an extremely strange force. Almost instinctively, Di Chongyang had always thought that there was an aura of conspiracy here. With the arrival of Emperor Tian's few people, Di Chongyang couldn't help but feel that his mood was getting tighter and tighter.

Is it the door of life or the door of death?

This is a choice that these cultivators are facing right now. In such a place that is completely unknown to everyone, they are not allowed to make any mistakes. Perhaps, as long as they take one wrong step, they will be greeted with a very high probability of no return.

At this time, the dispute between the two sides became more and more intense, and neither gave way to the other. However, Di Tian also noticed that many of them had been watching coldly from beginning to end, as if they had nothing to do with themselves. And these few people, from the beginning to the present, except for the first time attracted by the arrival of the Emperor Tian, and then they observed the environment in the inner sanctum by themselves. Looking at their expressions, they seem to have their own thoughts.

Emperor Tian couldn't help but look at Zong Zhengjun, after all, he had been here once before, and he had also entered the second palace, so he should know how to choose between this two gates of life and death. However, after entering the inner hall of the inner hall, this Zongjun had exchanged a few words with Emperor Chongyang before, and then fell into silence. Di Tian noticed that his eyes seemed to occasionally inadvertently look at a few inconspicuous corners of the group of cultivators, and the divine light in his eyes flowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Oh my God, come over here. Emperor Chongyang suddenly shouted.

When Di Tian heard this, he hurriedly walked to his father's side and asked, "What's the matter, father?"

"Tian'er, you should also see it, if these people continue to fight like this, it is estimated that there will be no results. In the end, most of them will still divide into two factions, each choosing a door to enter. The Father called you here to ask you which way we should go, in your opinion. Di Chongyang said softly.

Di Tian thought for a moment, looked at his father, and said, "Father, do we have to go in? Could it be that my father is also interested in that secret treasure?"

Di Chongyang pulled Di Tian aside, away from everyone, looked around, and then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The secret treasure is not a secret treasure, now no one knows if it really exists, and there is nothing interesting about my father." But there is one thing, as a father, I can give you a thorough understanding first. Those of us, as soon as we entered this secret realm, have completely fallen into a game set up by the Dongfang family. Before that, the father had sent people out to test him, but so far there was no news at all. Now we are like turtles in an urn, it is easy to get in, but it is not so simple to get out. If we want to protect ourselves, I'm afraid we can only continue to move forward as much as possible. Otherwise, imagine that since the Dongfang family dared to summon so many people from the three sects and nine streams to enter this secret realm together, they would let others leave without making other arrangements?"

This point, Di Tian had already thought about it before he came in, and he also had his own considerations. At that moment, he smiled, and looked around to see that no one had noticed them, so he whispered, "Father, I understand your concerns. In fact, the child also agrees with you, and now we want to leave like this, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. You'll have to wait for the water here to mix a little more, maybe you can have more chances. ”

Hearing this, Di Chongyang seemed to be a little surprised, oh, and asked, "Then tell me what you think." ”

Di Tian smiled and said, "Don't hide it from my father, in fact, the child has already made some preparations before coming in this time. Didn't the people of the Dongfang family try their best to control the news of the secret realm from leaking out, and the child had secretly released the news of the existence of this secret realm before he came in. Maybe by now, the outside world has already exploded. Hehe, the existence of an ancient secret realm, I don't know how many people will covet it. I'm afraid that even the Dongfang family will be able to control that chaotic situation at that time. At that point, we will naturally be able to find an opportunity to get out of here. ”

After hearing this, Di Chongyang couldn't help but nod again and again, and said with a smile: "That's right, but what you can imagine, others may not have thought of." Judging from the current situation, among the cultivators who came in this time, including us, they are just small shrimps and small crabs, and the real big fish are estimated to have not shown up yet. When the time comes, as you said, the water here is mixed, and we just want to get out safely, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”

"What the father said was true, and the child actually thought about it. If you want to survive in such a mixed realm, you must either be completely dependent on the Dongfang family, or any powerful force, otherwise, when chaos begins to start here, our small family forces will only bear the brunt and be the first to suffer. But this Dongfang family, we were originally coerced by their Dongfang family this time, and if we choose to completely attach ourselves to their family, it will be difficult to ask for their control in the future, not to mention, I am afraid it will be difficult to guarantee that we will not be used as cannon fodder by them. Before entering, the child originally thought that after arriving at the secret realm, he would try to get in touch with the people of the Chaos Gate as much as possible, and if he could, we could pretend to be attached to the Chaos Gate. First, the strength of this Chaos Gate is on par with that of the Dongfang Family, and it has always been hostile, so we can seize this point and try our best to seize the vitality of our Imperial Family. ”

"Chaos Gate, Tian'er, do you know someone from the Chaos Gate?" Di Chongyang frowned, and said with a solemn face: "Tian'er, this Chaos Gate is not something to mess with. It is indeed true that the Eastern Family has always had a bad relationship with the Chaos Gate. However, if we really take refuge in the Chaos Gate, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not become a stepping stone for the Chaos Gate. To put it bluntly, these two major forces are actually the same thing. ”

Di Tian nodded again and again when he listened, and then said, "What my father said is that this is indeed a child's lack of thought before. But not long ago, the child suddenly had another choice. ”

As he spoke, Di Tian's eyes looked at Zong Zhengjun's side intentionally or unintentionally. And Zong Zhengjun also seemed to feel Di Tian's eyes, and suddenly turned his head, with a trace of light in his eyes, looking at Di Tian. Di Tian smiled and nodded to him, and then saw Zong Zhengjun's head tilted and looked away.

"You mean Zongzhengjun?" said Emperor Chongyang.

Di Tian smiled and said, "Yes." Although the child has known him for a short time, according to the child, although this person acts strangely, he is also a man of temperament. If you can cooperate with him, it is obviously much stronger than attaching yourself to that Eastern Family or Chaos Sect. And behind him, there is still a mysterious clan. Over the years, although the Zongzheng family has gradually faded out of the eyes of the world, but think about how his Zongzheng family is also one of the top four families, even if it is declining, after all, the profound heritage is still there, and it should not be underestimated. If we can cooperate with the Zongzheng family, we will undoubtedly be able to give our emperor family a few more chances of winning in this situation. ”

After hearing this, Di Chongyang lowered his head and thought for a while, and then quickly said: "Although the words are reasonable, but Tian'er, how can this Zongzheng family cooperate with us? With the power of our Emperor family alone, among so many people, it is really insignificant. Frankly speaking, even if we sincerely join the Dongfang Family or the Chaos Gate, it doesn't necessarily mean that others will definitely treat us. You said that if you want to cooperate with the Zongzheng family, how sure are you?"

Di Tian smiled mysteriously, and just nodded: "Father, on this point, don't worry, since the child said so, he is naturally somewhat sure." ”

Di Chongyang looked at him full of confidence, pondered for a moment, suddenly showed a smile of relief, nodded, and said, "My son has really grown up, so it's okay." From now on, my father will hand over the fate of our emperor's family to you. Tian'er, the father believes in you, and the father knows that Tian'er will definitely do better than the father. ”

Hearing his father's words full of true feelings, Di Tian's heart was also a little excited, he nodded subconsciously and didn't say anything.

The courage of the emperor family will fall on his shoulders sooner or later. In the past, Emperor Tian was entangled in this problem because he couldn't cultivate, and he was depressed for more than ten years. Now that the time has come, he is no longer the young master of the emperor's family. Now he has the ability and confidence to protect the emperor's family and protect the people he cares about.

Seeing that the two groups of people have quarreled and can't come to any reason, it seems that they want to divide into two factions and enter the two gates of life and death respectively.

Emperor Tian suddenly walked over and came to the side of Zong Zhengjun, who was standing alone in the hall.

"Senior Zongzheng, I don't know if our cooperation counts?" Di Tian said suddenly.

Zong Zhengjun was originally in that hall, as if he was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, but when he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Di Tian, as if he saw something from Di Tian's face. But he was soon disappointed, because there was only a smile on Di Tian's face, and nothing else could be seen.

This kid was pulled over by his father just now and muttered for a long time, and he didn't know what to say, and when he came over and asked himself, he didn't know what it meant.

Zong Zhengjun couldn't help but think to himself, the verbal cooperation between him and Di Tian before was just that he was anxious about his injury at that time, so he casually responded. In his eyes, not to mention that Di Tian is such a hairy boy, he is the power of the entire emperor family, and he has not been able to put it in his eyes. And judging from the current look of this kid, this cooperation matter is not just a casual talk like before, but seems to be intended to cooperate with him. In other words, it was like cooperating with the forces of the clan behind him.

Zong Zhengjun suddenly felt a little funny, did this kid think too highly of himself, or did he underestimate the power of their Zongzheng family too much? A mere third-rate family would dare to talk about cooperating with their Zongzheng family?

After thinking about it, Zong Zhengjun said in a half-joking tone: "Emperor Tian boy, haven't we been cooperating all the time?"

Di Tian also smiled lightly, but the expression on his face was extremely serious, and he just said: "The cooperation that Zongzheng seniors and juniors are talking about is real cooperation, not only with the seniors, but also with the forces behind the seniors. ”

"Oh?" Zong Zhengjun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does this make any difference?"

Di Tian said: "There is naturally a difference. The cooperation between the younger generation and the senior of the Zongzheng is a verbal cooperation between you and me, and at best it can only be regarded as a cooperation between us personally. Such a verbal cooperation agreement can be unilaterally counted by anyone. Therefore, the younger generation wants to sincerely talk about a cooperation with the seniors, which is related to the cooperation of the fate of you and me. ”

Hearing this, Zong Zhengjun couldn't help but be interested.

Such a half-sized man, his tone is not small, and it is also related to the cooperation of the future fate of the two of them? What kind of cooperation is it, he is really interested in listening.

However, Zong Zhengjun still squinted his eyes as if he was hungry for Emperor Tian, and said: "Emperor Tian boy, do you want to say that your Emperor family wants to cooperate with my Zongzheng family, not that you want to cooperate with the old man, right?

Di Tian smiled when he heard this, he had already guessed that Zong Zhengjun would have such a reaction, and he didn't feel anxious at the moment, but said slowly: "Senior, I don't dare to say anything else, but if you and I cooperate." In this secret realm, there is absolutely no harm in it. ”

Zong Zhengjun obviously couldn't say anything so easily, he just looked at Di Tian with a smile, and still said unhurriedly: "Let's talk about it, if you and I cooperate, what good can the old man do here?"

Di Tian said with a smile: "What the predecessors thought was nothing more than the secret treasure in this secret realm. However, my emperor family has no need for this secret treasure. I have already told my predecessors before, the reason why our imperial family was involved in this matter this time was mainly because of the coercion of the Dongfang family, and we had to fall here. If the seniors can sincerely cooperate with my emperor's family, although the juniors can't guarantee that they will be able to help the seniors get the secret treasure that I don't know if it really exists. But...... The juniors can be sure of one thing, if the seniors are like these palaces on this giant god peak, the juniors can still come in handy. ”

Hearing this, Zong Zhengjun finally couldn't calm down, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise at the moment, looked at Di Tian, and said hurriedly: "Boy, what did you say?"

"Senior Zongzheng, I said that if you are willing to cooperate with my imperial family, the junior is willing to help you pass through this seven-star palace!" Emperor Tian said with an unchanged expression.

"Seven Star Palace?" Zong Zhengjun was stunned for a moment, looked at Di Tian thoughtfully, and after a while, he said: "How do you know the name ......of this Seven Star Palace?

I saw Di Tian smile and said: "The seniors don't have to guess, as for why the juniors know the words on it, and why they know the name of the Seven Star Palace, these don't matter." The seniors only need to know one thing, if you can cooperate with our imperial family, then the juniors can also guarantee you here, and they will definitely be able to take you through this seven-star palace safely. ”

Emperor Tian's words stirred up a thousand waves in Zong Zhengjun's heart. Regarding the matter of the Seven Star Palace, if it weren't for the ancient books handed down from the ancestors of their Zongzheng family, I'm afraid even he wouldn't know, let alone such a hairy boy who was less than twenty years old. And the most important thing is that this kid seems to really understand the words on the plaque on the door of the Heavenly Pivot Palace, otherwise, how would he know that this palace is called the Heavenly Pivot Palace?

Come to think of it, the reason why I knew about this place was because I rushed back to the clan before, looked through the records of the clan, and asked the elders in the clan, and only then did I learn a thing or two from the mouths of a few old monsters. These seven palaces of the Giant God Peak are indeed called the Seven Star Palace. And the first palace guarding the mountain gate is the Tianshu Palace, as Emperor Tian said.

Could it be that there is really anything special about this kid? Is it really sure that he will pass through this seven-star palace?

Zong Zhengjun suddenly seemed to have made some decision, looked at Emperor Tian, and said, "Emperor Tian boy, if you want to cooperate with me sincerely, it is not completely impossible. Look at those people over there, at this time, they are fighting over whether to enter the door of life or the door of death. In your opinion, it is only right for us to enter the door of life or the door of death?"

When Emperor Tian heard this, he immediately knew that this was the first test that Zong Zhengjun gave him. After all, Zong Zhengjun had already passed through the Tianshu Palace before, so he naturally knew which door he should go through. He tested himself so much, just because he couldn't believe what he said before.

smiled at the moment and said, "Life is not alive, death is not dead." According to the younger generation, neither can be selected. ”

Hearing this, Zong Zhengjun immediately frowned, a trace of disappointment seemed to flash in his eyes, and then he stopped talking. Neither of these? This kid is really just talking nonsense. If he doesn't choose either, then how to get through this Heavenly Palace? When he came here before, he entered the door of death, although he encountered some trouble on the way, but in general, it was quite dangerous. As for the Death Gate, although he hadn't tried it, he thought it wouldn't be easier to pass through than the Death Gate. Perhaps, this so-called door of life is actually the real door of death.

And Di Tian also seemed to see what he meant, and suddenly smiled and said, "Senior, don't be in a hurry, and listen to me slowly." Speaking of which, this Tianshu Palace is actually the easiest palace to pass through among the Seven Star Palaces. To put it bluntly, this is mainly to screen the people who enter the Seven Star Palace. Whether it is the door of life or the door of death, in fact, they can all be entered, and there is nothing special at all. However, this two gates of life and death, for people who have cultivated like their predecessors, may not be a big deal, even if they forcibly enter, most of them are not in danger. But for most of the people present, it was not so easy to pass through these two gates safely. ”

"There are two doors of life and death, the master is life and death, if the strength is not good, and he enters it without permission, even if it is the door of life, it will be difficult to escape the end of death. And looking at the seniors who have been looking at the direction of the door of death just now, I think that most of the ones that the seniors passed before are probably the door of death, right? Speaking of which, although this door of death sounds scary, if your strength is strong enough, it is not difficult to pass, and the seniors should be very clear about this. To put it bluntly, the purpose of setting up these two doors is actually a screening process. If you don't even have the strength to pass through these two gates, then you don't have to continue. After all, the remaining palaces will only be more difficult to pass through than the other. ”

When Zong Zhengjun heard this, he seemed to feel that there was some truth, so he said: "Then you say that you will neither go to the door of life nor choose the door of death, so what should you do?"

Di Tian suddenly pretended to be mysterious and said: "The seniors only need to wait for a while, and they will know later." ”

As he spoke, Di Tian stopped talking, and looked at the cultivators in front of the two gates of life and death that had been divided into two factions one after another, with more than twenty people on one side, all of them being about the same number, and then each entered the door of their choice.

Originally, there were about seventy or eighty people in this inner hall hall, but now, in addition to the retinue brought by the emperor family and Duan Kaiyang, there were still more than a dozen people standing scattered in a few corners of the hall, and they did not enter these two doors with the people in front of them. And when Di Tian looked at the rest of these people in the hall, he saw a few familiar figures at a glance, and in the corner of the hall, there were six people standing, and they were the group of people who were following Di Tian at the foot of the Giant God Peak before.

Emperor Tian was secretly looking at them, and Zong Zhengjun seemed to glance at them as well, when he suddenly heard him snort coldly and said, "The people from the Chaos Gate have actually mixed in. ”

"Chaos Gate?" Di Tian was shocked in his heart, among the six people, there were three old men who were about fifty or sixty years old, and the rest were all young adults. Just looking at their appearance, they are all extremely ordinary, and they are not noticeable at all. However, when he heard Zong Zhengjun's words at this time, Di Tian knew that those people were actually from the Chaos Gate?!

Earlier, Di Tian was still thinking about how to contact the people of the Chaos Gate on the road, but he didn't expect that they were in front of him, but he didn't know about it.

Zong Zhengjun seemed to be introducing the origin of those Chaos Gates to Emperor Tian on the side, and whispered: "The three in front, the older ones, are the elders of the Chaos Gate Wind Fire and Thunder Three Halls, and the remaining three juniors are estimated to be their disciples. This time when the Retreat Mountain Villa discovered the Ancient Secret Realm, it is said that the old monsters of the Chaos Gate who have been hidden for hundreds of years have been dispatched, and these people are just here to fight the front station. ”

Just as the two of them were talking, the people from the Chaos Gate over there seemed to have made a decision and resolutely walked towards the Death Gate. Then as soon as they left, some of the remaining people on the field also followed. It seems that someone among them recognized the identities of those Chaos Gates, so they deliberately waited until they entered, so that it would be convenient to follow behind.

At this moment, in the entire hall, only the Emperor family and the Duan family, as well as the Emperor Tian, these dozen or so people did not move. Emperor Chongyang, Emperor Chonghai, Duan Kaiyang and Dongfang Lingqiao all walked in the direction of Emperor Tian and Zong Zhengjun one after another, wanting to discuss the next route.

At this time, there were almost no outsiders in the field, and Di Tian was no longer hiding at the moment, just glanced at everyone and said: "So many people have gone in first, between life and death, it is all up to their own choice." However, whether it is the chosen door of life or the door of death, the ending is the same. If you don't have enough strength, it's all dead. ”

Saying that, Di Tian glanced at everyone present, except for Zong Zhengjun, his father, the second uncle, Duan Kaiyang and Dongfang Dexterity, the other entourages who came with the Emperor and Duan family all showed expressions of surprise one by one, and they didn't know what Di Tian meant by this.

And Di Tian didn't mean to adjust everyone's appetite at all, and quickly explained his intentions.

"In fact, in addition to the two gates of life and death, there is another way to choose here, but those people before have directly ignored it. Di Tian smiled, and suddenly walked to the right side of the hall, in front of a golden phoenix relief with wings spreading. On the wall on the side of the relief, a few lines of text are neatly carved. It's just that these words are square and round, and I don't know what kind of words they are.
