Chapter 177: The Cruel Truth
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!!
Even if the "Demon Corpse King" Gu Zhongqi is too old to walk, and his strength may not even be comparable to the Bronze Demon Corpse, he is still a human after all, and he still has the wisdom of human beings. Plus this guy has been in the "City of Moments" for two hundred and thirty-one years. Such a long time was enough for him to find the mystery of the "City of Moments". Even if the four golden corpses join forces, they can't break the Baizhang Tower, and Gu Zhongqi, the old devil, must have a way to break it!
Sure enough, it seemed that Lin Shengsheng and the other ninety-one cultivators were hiding in the Baizhang Tower, and the eight silver corpses stopped when they came to the gate of the Baizhang Tower with the steps of the "Demon Corpse King" Gu Zhongqi.
I saw that Gu Zhongqi, the "Demon Corpse King" who was still sitting on the top of the chariot, raised his head, looked at the windows above the third floor of Baizhang Building with green and faint, ghost-like eyes, and suddenly grinned, revealing a mouth that had lost all his teeth and smiled.
Then, the ninety-one cultivators who were guarding the third floor to the twenty-first floor respectively all "heard" Gu Zhongqi's hoarse and old voice.
"Hehe, what a surprise! I didn't expect that this seat had just gone to the Tianxuan area of the Wind Heavenly Monarch for a few days, and the territory was broken into by a new cultivator, and he also killed a small gold and eight small silver in this seat. What an accident, what an accident!"
Mind-to-heart transmission?
The Vice Dean and the other eight Holy Orders "heard" this voice. I couldn't help but feel stunned.
They are Holy Order powerhouses. Naturally, I know this skill that can penetrate the limitations of buildings and the number of people and convey the sound to everyone's mind unmistakably.
This is the "transmission of the mind" that only the Sacred Stages of Martial Cultivation and the Spiritual Masters of Spiritual Cultivation can do!
The reason why the dean was able to ignore the restrictions of the "Jufang Prison" and communicate with Yu Linglong, who was imprisoned inside, relied on this kind of "heart transmission".
"Demon Corpse King" Gu Zhongqi is not a martial artist, nor is he a pure spiritual cultivator, in fact, he is a wizard who is proficient in the art of spells and voodoo, and he is a dark wizard of the ancient black witch road.
But this dark wizard can use the "Mind Transmission" that can only be used by the martial cultivators of the Holy Rank Great Perfection and the Divine Spirit Master. This shows that the "Demon Corpse King" Gu Zhongqi's current realm is no lower than that of the martial cultivators of the Holy Rank Great Perfection and the spiritual cultivators of the Divine Spirit Realm.
In this way, even the Blood Slaughter, who had just obtained the Dragon Slaying Sword and had greatly increased his confidence, and Yu Linglong, who had the highest realm, were not confident that they would be able to escape tonight.
Even Lin began to regret his proposal to let everyone stay here!
"Come out, you don't have to hide in this building!" Gu Zhongqi's voice sounded in everyone's minds again: "Although you killed a small gold and eight small silver in this seat, not only will this seat not blame you, but it is very happy. With less than a hundred of you, you were able to kill a small gold and eight small silvers in this seat, and you were able to find a way to hide in this building, avoiding the tracking of the bronze corpses, this seat admires you very much! That's the people of this seat, and this seat will not hurt you. On the contrary, it will protect you and give you great benefits. Didn't you come to the 'City of Moments' for some kind of treasure? This treasure within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, except for some garbage, the treasures have already been collected by the demon corpses of this seat. But if you want, I'll let you choose, and everyone can pick one or two!"
"Demon Corpse King" Gu Zhongqi surprised everyone!
This old devil didn't blame them, but admired them, and took the initiative to protect them and let them choose his treasures?
Could it be that this old devil has been in this "city of moments" for too long and feels very lonely, so he likes the new cultivators very much?
This shouldn't be possible, didn't this old devil say it at the beginning, the reason why he wasn't there yesterday and the day before yesterday was because he went to some Tianxuan District as a guest, and he went to chat with that Feng Tianjun!
This shows that this "city of moments" still has wisdom and can speak human beings are not the only ones who are "Demon Corpse King" Gu Zhongqi, so it is not a lonely and lonely problem.
In this case, the reason why Gu Zhongqi, the old devil, was so kind to them, must have another purpose!
After the eight Saint Rank powerhouses glanced at each other, the Vice Dean finally spoke, "Senior Gu Zhongqi, may I ask what purpose you have for treating us like this, and what price do you need us to pay?"
As soon as the Vice Dean said this, in the other upstairs, the cultivators who were pleased with Gu Zhongqi's kind attitude immediately felt like cold water was dripping with it, and their minds suddenly cleared up a lot.
That's right, there's no such thing as a free lunch!
The "Demon Corpse King" Gu Zhongqi is not a good person, he was the most terrifying and dangerous big devil two hundred years ago, how could he be so kind, not only did he not blame them for killing one of his golden corpses and eight silver corpses, but also protected them and let them challenge the treasures he collected?
If it weren't for the fact that his brain was not clear due to his age, this Gu Zhongqi would have another purpose!
To make an old devil like the "Demon Corpse King" so kind and generous, I'm afraid the price to pay will not be small!
Sure enough, Gu Zhongqi's laughter sounded in everyone's minds again: "There is actually a Saint-rank powerhouse...... Hehe, no wonder Xiao Jin will be killed by you, it seems that the quality of entering the city of Moments this time is very high! It's a pity and pitiful, but it's also very good, it's great, there are Holy Rank powerhouses joining the territory of this seat, and the final winner of this year's 'Battle of Heaven' will be this seat!"
The Battle for Heaven?
What does that mean? Could it be that the "City of Moments" is going to be in some kind of war, and the old devil Gu Zhongqi wants us to join him and fight for him?
This is really a big price!
Also, after this old devil learned that the eight vice presidents were saint-level powerhouses, why did he say that he was pitiful and pitiful?
"Senior Gu Zhongqi, what is the 'Battle of Heaven'?" asked the Vice Dean.
"Oh. Is this the 'battle for heaven'? It's a tradition of the 'City of Instants' for hundreds of thousands of years!" I only heard Gu Zhongqi's hoarse and old voice continue to ring in everyone's minds: "The history of the 'City of Moments' appearing in the Taihao World every seventy-seven years is longer than human imagination. In fact, hundreds or even tens of millions of years ago, before human beings appeared, the 'City of Moments' had already appeared in the Taihao World. Every seventy-seven years, the 'City of Moments' appeared, and those who were shrouded in its giant teleportation pillars, whether ordinary mortals or great cultivators of the Holy Rank, would be teleported to the 'City of Moments'. The 'City of Moments' has a lot of treasures, and both the vitality and the aura are ten times stronger than the Taihao world. Cultivating in the 'City of Instants', the progress is naturally more than ten times faster than the cultivation of the Taihao World. Knowing the benefits of entering the 'City of Moments', all practitioners dream of entering the 'City of Moments', and the main seat of the year is no exception. The cultivation of this seat back then had already entered a bottleneck, and it was impossible to go any further. The purpose of entering the 'City of Instants' is the same as that of many Saint-level powerhouses, which is to cultivate in the 'City of Moments', break through the bottleneck and enter the Divine Rank, and soar to the Divine Realm. It's just that all the cultivators who entered the 'City of Instants' could not have imagined that this 'City of Moments' was shrouded in a very mysterious and powerful force. Although after entering the 'City of Instants', the progress of cultivation was indeed very fast and amazing. But if you want to break through to the god level and soar to the god realm, it is impossible. The mysterious power of the 'City of Moments' cut off all spatial passages, thus preventing the ascension. In this place, it is impossible for the passage to the divine realm to be opened at all. Therefore, when the Holy Rank powerhouses come to this place, the Great Perfection of the Holy Rank is their limit, even if they cultivate for thousands of years, it is impossible to smash the void and open the passage of the God Realm to ascend!"
Hearing Gu Zhongqi's words, the Vice Dean and the other eight Holy Rank couldn't help but change their faces.
Can't fly to the Divine Realm in the "City of Instants"? No matter how much cultivation you can't break through, you can't break through the Divine Rank? Can't open the passage to the Divine Realm?
How is this possible?
The reason why the vice president and they were willing to put aside all the affairs of the Taihao world and do everything possible to enter the "City of Moments" was to break through the god level and fly to the god realm.
Especially the two of them, Lord Vice Dean and Lord Yu Linglong, because Lord Dean has already ascended, so they want to break through the God Rank and fly to the God Realm to follow Lord Dean is more urgent than anyone else.
But the "Demon Corpse King" Gu Zhongqi told them that they couldn't ascend, and the mysterious power of the "City of Instants" would stop them from ascending!
How can this be acceptable to them?
He couldn't bear to look at the faces of Yu Linglong and the vice dean, and Lin Shengsheng couldn't help but ask: "Senior Gu Zhongqi, this place will prevent cultivators from flying to the god realm? Then why didn't it prevent cultivators from returning to the Taihao world? Don't tell that the story that people have been returning to the Taihao world from this place for tens of thousands of years is fake!"
As soon as Lin Shengsheng's words came out, Yu Linglong and the vice president's eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right, if this "City of Moments" would prevent cultivators from ascending to the Divine Realm, then why didn't it prevent cultivators from returning to the Taihao World?
All of a sudden, Yu Linglong and the vice president were both suspecting that the "Demon Corpse King" Gu Zhongqi was lying, and they were deliberately scaring them!
But he heard Gu Zhongqi laugh again: "This little doll's reaction is fast! Yes, the 'City of Moments' will indeed not prevent cultivators from returning to the Taihao World, but there are restrictions. Every seventy-seven years, when the 'City of Moments' appears in the Taihao World, when the giant pillar teleportation light pillar is opened to accept people in, another passage will also be opened, called the 'Heavenly Mouth'. Unfortunately, this 'Heaven's Mouth' is located on top of the tallest tower in the center of the 'City of Moments', and it is not so easy to get out, and you have to solve the puzzle or mechanism that opens the entrance within a limited amount of time. If the time is up, if you haven't solved the puzzle or mechanism, the entrance won't open, and it's impossible to return to the world of Taihao. What's even more strange is that the tallest tower is also limited by mysterious powers, and the strong people above the holy steps cannot enter. In other words, if you want to solve the puzzles and mechanisms, open the 'Heavenly Mouth' and return to the Taihao world, only cultivators below the Holy Rank have the opportunity to do it. Hehe, that's why I said that you holy steps are pity and pitiful!" (To be continued......)
