There was a hint of arrogance and impatience in the eyes of the old man in black robe, and he stared at Zhuge Yun who was crawling on the ground with an indifferent expression.
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense because of this sudden change.
"What else can you do except trust me? If I can't use you, you wouldn't even be qualified to talk to me!"
The old man in black robe stood up, glanced at Zhuge Yun arrogantly, and left the private room.
"Remember what I told you, stay in the city honestly. If you try to be smart, don't blame me for being ruthless. This place has many rules, but I have my own ways to avoid breaking them!"
As these words faded away, the old man in black robe left completely.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Kong Huan glanced at Zhuge Yun worriedly. The old man in black robe was indeed a bit moody. He turned hostile as soon as he asked one more question.
Zhuge Yun shook his head and silently wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.
He knew that the man was just taking the opportunity to establish his authority and keep the four people firmly under his control.
Fu Yunshan's eyes flashed with worry, "So what should we do now? Are we really going to do nothing and just wait?"
Zhuge Yun was silent for a long time. "Let's wait for a while. Anyway, we have no other way to leave now."
Xu Chunniang nodded, "The other party's cultivation is at least in the late Jindan stage. It is understandable that he is unwilling to reveal too much information to us, a few small foundation-building disciples."
After some discussion, they decided to stay put and get familiar with the situation in the city.
Although they had a certain understanding of the city's rules, it was too one-sided. If they wanted to survive in the city, this was far from enough.
After a brief thought, Zhuge Yun called a teahouse waiter and asked about all the news in the city.
An hour later, the waiter left happily with a bag of spirit stones.
Kong Huan was amazed. "According to what that person said, there is no thunder tribulation when advancing to the Golden Core stage in this space. It seems that it is much easier to form a Golden Core here than in the Qianluo Realm."
"Don't you think this is a good thing? There is no thunder tribulation after the promotion because the rules here are incomplete. The condensed golden elixir can only be regarded as a fake golden elixir at best."
Zhuge Yun put down the teacup, stood up and walked outside, "Let's go to the West City first and find a place to stay."
Over the next few days, the few of them slowly adapted to life in the city and got to know more about the world opened up by the evil-eyed beast.
This world was named the Thousand Eyes Divine Realm by the Evil Eye Beast and has existed for at least several thousand years.
Of course, the monks who were forcibly captured did not recognize this name. They privately called this place the pseudo-world.
The evil-eyed beast refined its own eyes into a portal connecting this world and the Qianluo world, and captured the monks through thousands of portals.
In order to escape from this place, some monks chose to have children. Their descendants became the first indigenous people of this world.
As the number of monks and indigenous people increased, the entire Thousand-Eyed Divine Realm slowly developed into what it is today.
For mortals, being trapped in the pseudo world for just a hundred years is fine, but for cultivators, this is just a spacious cage.
No matter how talented a cultivator is, if the laws of heaven and earth are incomplete, you can only stop at the pseudo-dan realm.
At this time, it has been a year since the four of them first came to the pseudo world.
Kong Huan was somewhat puzzled. "This evil-eyed beast has the cultivation base of the Spiritualization Stage. Why doesn't it go to the upper realm, but instead goes to so much trouble to create such a world? What is it trying to achieve?"
"Didn't Senior Brother Zhuge say that in the upper realm, a Divine Transformation cultivator is nothing? Perhaps it feels that it is safer to stay near the Qianluo Realm."
Fu Yunshan guessed, "But what does it want to do by bringing out so many mortals?"
"I once read in an ancient book in the Sutra Library that if a mortal sincerely worships it, it can gain power. It deifies itself in front of mortals, perhaps to collect power."
Zhuge Yun said this uncertainly. The ancient book he had seen was too old and in tatters. It only vaguely mentioned one or two sentences about the power of vows.
After Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment, she spoke slowly.
"For a great demon to spend thousands of years to manage something, I think this wish is extremely important to the evil-eyed beast. Perhaps we can try to start from this aspect..."
"Haha, you youngsters can always surprise me. But the power of will is something that even I dare not touch, let alone you guys who can easily get involved!"
A voice suddenly sounded, and an old man in a black robe came walking on the wind.
When they met again, the four were no longer as panicked as they were the first time.
Since the other party did not attack them, there must be a place where they are needed.
The old man in black robe raised his eyebrows slightly. He had selected many new people in the past year, but in terms of courage and knowledge, none of them were as good as the four people in front of him.
He originally wanted to observe for a few more years, but now the situation has changed and he has to plan ahead.
Zhuge Yun bowed, as if he had forgotten that he had been injured last time and had to recuperate for several months.
"Senior, have you come here this time? Has the time come?"
"Yes, we have reached the final stage of preparation."
The old man in black robe nodded and said, "I will send someone to take you and the other four out of the city. You just need to follow that person."
Zhuge Yun's throat moved, and he finally spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Senior, please tell me clearly what you need us to do."
The old man in black robe stared at him coldly, and just when they thought he would be angry, they heard a light laugh.
"It's okay to tell you in advance, but you have to think carefully. Once you get on my ship, there will be no room for regret."
He had a smile on his face, but the threat in his words was self-evident.
After a brief silence, Xu Chunniang said softly, "It is our honor to have the senior point out a clear path for us. I hope the senior will be generous with his guidance."
The voice of the old man in black robe slowly floated over.
"I need you to take action and deal with some monsters. Of course, you will be in danger and may even die. But if you survive, you will be qualified to follow me."
The four of them knew very well that what the old man in black robe said definitely omitted the key part.
But considering the other party's cultivation level and what he was planning, his willingness to reveal this information proved his sincerity.
After all, finding another way to survive and escape from this place is, in a sense, making an enemy of the evil-eyed beast in the God Transformation Stage.
Xu Chunniang nodded. "Before the senior sends someone, can I go to the battle hall to participate in the challenge?"
She had wanted to go to the battle hall to challenge for a long time, but she had not gone because of the message left by the other party last time, asking them to behave themselves.
I'd like to take this opportunity to ask if it is feasible.
Hearing this, the old man in black robe looked at her strangely, "You actually want to go to the war hall?"
